Flower Mound Fire Station number 2 at FM1171 and Shiloh Road, the site of a condemnation lawsuit against the town, which the town has appealed to the Texas Court of Appeals.
      Mockingbird Pipeline, L.P., filed a condemnation lawsuit against the Town of Flower Mound in January of this year for a thirty foot natural gas pipeline easement across Fire Station No. 2 property, located at FM1171 and Shiloh Road. The Town has vigorously resisted that effort and last Friday Denton County Probate Judge Don Windle ruled that his court has jurisdiction to hear the case.

Denton District Attorney Paul Johnson sat for an interview in The News Connection office a few weeks ago, before winning a second term in Tuesday’s Primary Election.
     “Well, it looks like we have a full head of steam as we move into the fall elections,” said 26th District Congressman Michael Burgess as he was on his way to DFW Airport for a flight back to the nation’s capital. “I’m very grateful for the support that was evident in the Primary Election vote,” added the Republican representative running for his fifth term.

Mike Wallace
     For Flower Mound Place 3 Councilmember Mike Wallace, the task of completing a years worth of municipal training and educational courses was a challenge worth undertaking if it would help him to better serve his community. The Texas Municipal League (TML) recognized Wallace’s 2009 educational efforts in February at the Elected Officials’ Conference in El Paso. When Wallace took office in May 2009, he attended a TML workshop for newly-elected council members and learned about the organization’s educational institute.

L to R: The News Connection editor Bob Weir, Temple Baptist Church Youth Pastor Greg Hutchinson and entertainer David Magee sealing the “lockbox” at TNC office.
      On Saturday, March 6, at 7 p.m., the Youth Department of Temple Baptist Church at 2501 Northshore Blvd. in Flower Mound, will present “David Magee, Master of the Mind.” Magee, an Argyle resident who is continuously acclaimed as one of America’s Top Sleight of Hand Artists and manipulators of the human mind, will perform a one hour show and donate one hundred percent of the ticket sales to the Youth Department of the church. David Magee’s talents have taken him around the world. His many national television appearances have left audiences and talk show hosts (and this editor) asking the question he hears the most, “How is this possible?”

Marcus senior Cory Needs (41) and sophomore Phillip Forte (10) double up on FMHS senior Michael Coleman (23) previously this season.

       On his first day at Marcus this summer, new boys’ basketball coach Danny Henderson told his team he wasn’t there to win district championships. Rather, he insisted on building a state powerhouse.

Henderson is doing just that as the Marauders (35-2) are slated to meet Arlington Bowie (31-6) at 6 p.m. on Friday at Fort Worth’s Wilkerson-Greines Activity Center in the Class 5A Region I Semifinals.  They advanced thanks to a wild 46-45 win on Monday over Jesuit when standout Marcus Smart scored with 20 seconds left in regulation.
