Drusch retires after
19 years at LDISD
After 19 years of school
board meetings, discussions
and planning, Sandra Drusch
has decided to step down
from her position as president
of the Lake Dallas Independent
School District.
Once a stay-at home
mother, Drusch decided to
join the board after a bond
election was being held in regards
to a new high school.
“I’ll miss being on the
board and the staff I worked
with,” Drusch said. “I have a
passion for education and to
watch this district change has
really been special.”
Corinth resident arrested
Corinth resident Glenn
Darden has finally been put
behind bars.
The 41-year-old Darden
currently sits in the Denton
County jail with bail set at
more than $100,000 after he
was arrested for crimes he
committed in 2011.
Darden is accused of attacking
a 90-year-old woman
as she slept in her apartment
in a senior living facility in
Denton in the early morning
hours of Oct. 8, 2011.
Lacrosse participation, interest grows in LC
The sport of lacrosse has
begun to take North Texas
by storm, and residents of
the Lake Cities are determined
to benefit from the attention.
The Lake Cities Lightning
lacrosse league, which
focuses on promoting youth
lacrosse for boys and girls
from first grade through high
school, hopes to grow the
sport throughout North
Texas with the rise in interest,
said league president
Gerry Marshall.
The game of lacrosse
originated with various Native
American tribes, and
was often played as a ceremonial
and religious ritual to
honor the “Creator.” Playing
lacrosse was also believed to
heal the sick, resolve conflicts
and build up strong
men in the tribe. The men
who played took on the role
of warriors during the
games, and sought to bring
glory and honor to themselves
and their tribes
through this “battle.”
Hickory Creek Parks have a lot to offer
The Town of Hickory
Creek has been busy renovating
its parks over the last couple
of years to ensure all park
guests have enjoyable experiences
during their visits.
Work is usually performed
or supervised by the Hickory
Creek Public Works Department,
but the town also utilizes
volunteers in the form of
Work Days, Trash Pickup
Days and Eagle Scout projects.
Our Tree City USA folks
provide continuous tree risk
inspections and maintenance,
while also providing advice
for proper tree care at all of
our parks.
The different Eagle Scout
projects include improving
the new equestrian trail in
Sycamore Bend Park, creating
the new sign at the entrance
to Sycamore Bend
Park, removing brush at Point
Vista Park south leg and repainting
railings at Arrowhead
Park.
