  42. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Lantana residents Geoff and Gina Campbell were looking around for a new business opportunity to call their own, the two most important factors were that it needed to be something they enjoyed doing, and it had to be a service everyone needed.</p>
  43. <p>Stand Strong Fencing quickly checked both boxes — plus a third one: a strong fence every homeowner can’t wait to show off.</p>
  44. <p>“At some point, you’re going to have to replace your fence. And we want people to feel like they have everything they need and that it’s all taken care of,” Gina said. She and Geoff bought the franchise in April and currently boast a wide service area, including all of Denton County. “We want to offer reliable and quality work and separate ourselves with customer service.”</p>
  45. <p>Every homeowner will need a new fence at some point. It could be that their fence just blew down after another North Texas storm, or perhaps it’s time for something new that provides more privacy, a unique look to boost their property’s curb appeal, and can stand the test of time. Regardless of the reason or situation, a new fence is a must-have, and all that’s left is to find someone to install it.</p>
  46. <p>This is where Gina and Geoff at Stand Strong Fence can help. Their fencing solutions run the gamut, including maintenance, repair, and staining for existing fences and complete replacement for those that have been destroyed or worn out their welcome. Do you need a new wooden or vinyl fence that matches your property and makes a bold statement? Stand Strong has you covered. Are you looking to avoid wood and use a modern metal or wrought iron fence? They can do that, too.</p>
  47. <p>Stand Strong Fencing offers a diverse range of fencing services for residential and commercial clients. They are fully insured and offer free consultations and estimates. The company warranties all its work and even provides financing options for larger projects.</p>
  48. <p>“Our business is new to the area, and we can’t wait to be part of this community,” Gina said.</p>
  49. <p>For more information on Stand Strong Fencing, visit <a href="http://www.standstrongfencing.com/argyle-tx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.standstrongfencing.com/argyle-tx</a> or call 940-412-1412.</p>

  83. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beth Baltmanis is never short on great ideas, especially those that benefit her loyal customers at Massage Green Spa. So it shouldn’t be surprising that the longtime Flower Mound native has something new up her sleeve.</p>
  84. <p>After 10 years of building the Massage Green Spa brand with three locations in Flower Mound, Highland Village, and Frisco, Baltmanis announced that she is merging the Flower Mound and Highland Village locations into one at 200 Marketplace Lane, Suite 235, in Highland Village and rebranding her wildly popular spa from Massage Green Spa to Spa Haven.</p>
  85. <p>The change to Spa Haven is already official, and Baltmanis promises her clients are the real winners.</p>
  86. <p>“I am very excited about this change because it allows us to expand into newer technology, higher-quality services, and a recognizable brand everyone is sure to fall in love with,” Baltmanis said. “Many of our customers were visiting both Flower Mound and Highland Village locations anyway. This makes everything easier. It’s all the same therapists and services our clients have grown to love about us. We’re honoring all Massage Green Spa gift cards, memberships, etc. It all transfers over without interruption.”</p>
  87. <p>Baltmanis said her team at Spa Haven&#8217;s mission is to provide a massage experience that’s second to none and focused on relaxation, rejuvenation, and overall well-being. So, whether you’re here to soothe sore muscles, improve the look and tone of your skin, or something else, they’ve got a service to meet your needs.</p>
  88. <p>Existing services include massage therapy, facials, body treatments, and infrared saunas. To complement the rebrand, she’s adding stretch therapy, nano-needling, dermaplanning, and serum-infused microdermabrasion.</p>
  89. <p>Perhaps the best part is that even more services are on the way. Current specials include a free one-hour sauna session ($40 value). You can also buy one service and get one FREE for Mother’s Day.</p>
  90. <p>For more information on upcoming specials, visit <a href="http://thespahaven.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thespahaven.com</a>. Or better yet, stop in for a visit.</p>

  126. <p>During early voting, registered voters in Denton County can vote at any of dozens of early voting locations all around the county. But on Election Day, you must go to your precinct&#8217;s assigned location, causing confusion among some voters.</p>
  127. <p>Election clerks have told <em>The Cross Timbers Gazette</em> that hundreds or thousands of Election Day voters go to the wrong polling place and are turned away, frustrated, and some won&#8217;t try again. Activists urge Denton County Commissioners to join most Texas counties and consider approving countywide voting centers. <a href="https://www.votingcentersnow.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here</a> for more information about the push for voting centers in Denton County.</p>

  198. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hillwood Communities, a leading new home community developer headquartered in Dallas, proudly accepted a total of 12 McSAM Awards at the annual ceremony hosted by the Dallas Builders Association at The Statler Hotel on April 20. For the third consecutive year and sixth time, Hillwood Communities was honored as the Dallas-Fort Worth Developer of the Year.</p>
  199. <p>&#8220;We are truly honored to receive these awards, which are a testament to the dedication and skill of our team at Hillwood Communities,&#8221; said Fred Balda, president of Hillwood Communities. &#8220;These accolades underscore our unwavering commitment to delivering quality communities that foster a genuine sense of belonging.&#8221;</p>
  200. <p>Established in 1979 by the Dallas Builders Association, the McSAM Awards recognize local builders, remodelers, developers and associates who have demonstrated exceptional creativity and contribution to the residential real estate industry within a given year, according to a Hillwood news release.</p>
  201. <p>Inaugural categories introduced this year saw the Mini Town Park at Harvest in Northlake and Hillwood Communities’ under development project, Treeline in Justin, clinching victories for Best New Amenity and Best on Boards Community, respectively. Harvest’s Mini Town Park is designed to ignite children’s imaginations through active play and storytelling in four open-air playhouses – a farmhouse, a grocery store, a bank and a jail, according to the Hillwood news release. Drawing inspiration from its natural surroundings, Treeline, which won the Best on Boards Community award for excellence in development visioning and planning, is Hillwood Communities’ newest DFW community with a planned 2,700 homes.</p>
  202. <p>Last year&#8217;s winner of Master-Planned Community, Pecan Square in Northlake, was recognized for its Best Lifestyle Annual Program, which includes over 300 events annually, fostering meaningful connections among residents. Hillwood Communities&#8217; Union Park in Little Elm was named the Master-Planned Community of the Year, and that community&#8217;s Fitness Park &#8212; featuring an outdoor ninja-style fitness course, sport courts, yoga and cardio rooms, a lap pool, and a splash pad &#8212; won Best Community Amenity.</p>
  203. <p>The comprehensive list of McSAM Awards won by Hillwood Communities include:</p>
  204. <p>• Developer of the Year (3rd consecutive year, 6th win)<br />
  205. • Best on Boards Community (new category for 2024) – Treeline<br />

  248. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, Argyle! May 4th is election day. If you haven’t already done so, please be sure to get out and vote! Important items on the ballot include AISD school board candidates and bonds, along with Denton Central Appraisal District Board of Directors. For the Town of Argyle, all current council members up for re-election are unopposed and the election was canceled. I attribute this to their many accomplishments, continued commitment to our community, and a focus on smart growth. I’m proud of the way Argyle Town Council members conduct themselves, their ability to actively and respectfully debate items, and their determination to do what’s best and what’s right. It’s an honor and a pleasure working with each and every one of these fine individuals.</p>
  249. <p>With election day upon us, I’m also reminded of the great work being done by the many appointed &amp; elected officials, volunteers, and Town Staff who serve our citizens. Thank you all for your dedication, commitment, and the countless hours you selflessly contribute to our amazing community! I would like to extend a special thanks to everyone serving on Argyle’s Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee (CPAC), particularly Co-Chairs Stephen Shannon and Debra Wallace, along with Nabila Nur, Community Development Director. This trio did a tremendous job of facilitating a lot of lively debate and productive discussion, resulting in a draft presentation to the Town Council and the Planning &amp; Zoning Commission during a joint workshop on April 24th. This Comprehensive Plan update will serve as a citizen-driven, shared vision of Argyle’s future and a guide for managing growth in a thoughtful, desirable and sustainable manner. We will continue to provide updates and more opportunities for input as this important project moves into its final stages.</p>
  250. <p>Speaking of updates, we issued a couple of very important proclamations during the April 15 Town Council meeting. The first recognizes the month of May as Mental Health Month and also establishes May 10, 2024 as Children&#8217;s Mental Health Awareness Day. If you or someone you know is struggling with a mental health crisis, call or text 988. The lifeline is free, confidential and open 24/7.</p>
  251. <p>The second proclamation declares May 15th as Peace Officers&#8217; Memorial Day and May 12-18, 2024 as National Police Week. Please join us in showing your support for these local heroes.</p>
  252. <p>Other notable events this month include: The Golden Agers’ Luncheon and Bingo on Thursday, May 9th from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. in the Community Room at Argyle Town Hall. Please join us for a complimentary meal, great conversation, and a lot of fun! On Saturday, May 11th from 8 a.m. – 11 a.m., we will be holding our rescheduled Annual Household Waste Collection Event behind Argyle Town Hall. Proof of Argyle residency is required. Check the town’s website and social media for additional details. And finally, Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 12th!</p>
