Shady Shores
council meets
with new school
representatives
Plans for a new middle
school in Shady Shores are
inching closer to becoming a
reality.
Last week, the Shady
Shores Town Council and
Planning and Zoning Commission
met with a Denton Independent
School District
engineer as well as an architect
to discuss the future of the
new middle school that will
be built in Shady Shores, and
all parties left the meeting
with a positive sense of direction,
according to Shady
Shores Mayor Jerry Williams.
“It was a strange meeting,
in that, everyone got along
well and all issues were addressed,”
Williams said. “I
think everything is going to
flow very well.
Armed robber flees ATM;
Corinth police on high alert
An armed robbery attempt
at an automated teller machine
in Corinth has placed
local police officers on high
alert.
The Corinth Police Department
responded to an attempted
armed robbery at an
ATM machine located in the
4000 block of FM 2181 on
Wednesday evening, Feb. 1.
The female victim, who
luckily escaped the robbery
unharmed, pulled up to the
ATM and was planning to
make a deposit. She then exited
the vehicle with her
money to make the transaction.
Hickory Creek’s Eix Building bulldozed
After years and years of
service to the Lake Cities
community, the Louise Eix
building in Hickory Creek
has been torn down to make
way for the upcoming expansion
of I-35E.
Although residents have
known for months that the
expansion was looming, the
destruction of one of the
older Lake Cities buildings
surprised even one of its
long-time owners.
“I was told when I bought
the building back in the 80’s
that the upstairs was a poker
room and brothel,” said Tom
Pralle, who owned the building
from the mid-1980’s
until 1995.
Redistricting moves
Lake Dallas; Ryan
jumps to 5A class
The Lake Dallas Athletic
program will see a new set of
faces in district play come fall
of 2012.
For football and basketball,
Lake Dallas has been moved
to District 5-4A after three
years in District 4-4A. The
new district, which will remain
intact until the next redistricting
in 2014, includes
several schools that Lake Dallas
is not used to competing
against.
Familiar faces Wichita
Falls, Wichita Falls Rider and
Denton remain in the district
with Lake Dallas, but the Falcons
and Lady Falcons will
now be traveling to and hosting
Northwest Byron Nelson,
Fort Worth Brewer and Azle
within district play.
