Good grief, I had to read this story twice to finally realize that this is an actual story being reported on from here in San Angelo and not from Abilene or Odessa........

or in this case, the name. On the homepage of this news site, located in a black bar on the upper left are 3 horizontal bars that, when clicked, open a menu. Scroll down to news and click. That menu offers you options for the type of news you'd like to read including sports, national, county, outdoor, and many more. Alas, they even have one for San Angelo. I think they put it there just for you.
