Accident closes part
of I-35E; 3 injured

FLOWER MOUND - It’s the
kind of community that likes to
think of itself as a place where ev-
erybody seems to know one an-
other and you say hello to your
neighbor at the grocery store.
Lately, that’s been overshad-
owed by infighting on the Town
Council — the grade-school kind
where grudges aren’t let go of, fin-
gers are pointed and people are
called names.
Less than half a year into its
current term, the Flower Mound
Town Council has kicked three
people off the planning commis-
sion, and one council member has
resigned. Accusations of secret au-
dio recordings and online harass-
ment have distracted council
members from town business.
Residents flocked to Facebook
to vent their disdain, likening
council meetings to a “circus” or
“outtakes from a reality TV show.”
Then in July, the Town Council
decided to launch an investigation
— of itself — that could cost up to
$35,000.
With the recent swearing-in of
a new council member, Mark
Wise, the council hopes the worst
of its drama is over. But there’s no
telling in this town, where officials
agree it’s unusually hard for peo-
ple to get along.
“Flower Mound has always
been a very, um, highly charged
community,” said Town Manager
Jimmy Stathatos. “I think part of

“There’s such a community — just people
coming together to share their information
and knowledge, and that’s how it starts,”
Maynard said. “I’ve learned so much working
here in the last two months that it’s not even
grain beer, while Maynard did a second dem-
onstration, using one of the in-store kits to
brew a seasonal beer.
“They both have to boil for an hour, you
add hops, and then you have to cool it down,
and then you’ll bottle it at that point,” Baron’s
Brewwerks owner Dennis Wood said. “The
all-grain has about two additional hours of
work.”

For Learn to Homebrew Day, dedicated
home-brewers and newcomers alike visited
Baron’s Brewwerks to watch live demonstra-
tions and take notes.
The home-brewing supply store opened
in June on Dallas Drive, and while Baron’s
doesn’t teach courses on how to make your
own beer, employee Jason Maynard said get-
ting together to trade tips and recipes and
learn from each other is commonplace for
As a store employee, he’s observed
home-brewing is a hobby with a varied fan
base.
A group is calling for the
removal of quirky fake
traffic signs throughout
Amarillo because of their
ties to billionaire Stanley
Marsh 3.
The first step to brewing is to soak the
grain and boil of choice in a pot called a
“mash tun,” in a process called mashing. The
resulting mixture, called “wort,” can’t be
called beer just yet.
“That’s where the sugars start breaking
down to a simpler sugar so the yeast could
consume it,” Denton County Homebrewers
“There’s an Englishman who lives up here
who makes ballet shoes who comes in. He
likes a specific beer from home that he can’t
get here, so he makes it,” Maynard said.
‘You’ve got 21- and 22-year-old college kids
who come in, you have older men. There’s no
certain stereotype.”

With more than 86,000 lawyers
practicing in Texas, including 26,000
in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, attor-
neys sometimes have to work hard to
stand out from the competition.
The Texas Law Hawk of Fort Worth
recently gained national attention for a
“Don’t Blow” breathalyzer Halloween
commercial, which has more than L2
million views on YouTube. But he’s not
the only one to rely on creative adver-
tising campaigns.
The ads have to be cleared with the
State Bar of Texas, which checks to
make sure they aren’t false or mislead-
ing. But spokesman Lowell Brown
added: ‘We don’t regulate taste.”
Here’s a sample of five of the most
memorable attorney ads to hit Dallas-
Fort Worth’s airwaves, TVs and bill-
boards.
