HUGS go to ⦠the city of Denton Parks and Recreation Department, for its new wildflower planting program, which will set the stage for a burst of spring color from at least 240 acres throughout the city. The best part, though, is that not only will the beautification program not cost city taxpayers, it actually has the potential to save the city about $150,000 over 3-4 years by eliminating mowing expenses. Throw in the additional benefits of helping butterflies and bees, while also providing needed firebreaks, and you have a city program everyone can get behind.

And after Hudspeth defeated Briggs in the mayorâs race, he is the first Black mayor of Denton. We congratulate these public servants and wish them well as they conduct the publicâs business.
HUGS go to ⦠Tom, the Argyle community turkey who was killed this week by a man who wrung its neck, apparently intent on eating the iconic bird. Tom was a frequent sight about town, particularly in the area near Argyle Auto Care, where he often was on the hunt for those dastardly black Jeeps. Though Tom is now gone, we are left with the many legends and tall tales of his exploits (including the time he gave chase to a
