The shells should be shiny and the meat should feel firm against the shell. They should have a fresh, salty smell like the ocean, with no fishy or ammonia odor. How much shrimp should I purchase? Shrimp are sized and sold by count, number of shrimp per pound, whether whole or headless. For example, headless shrimp of 16 - 20 count means there are 16 to 20 headless shrimp per pound. How do I properly thaw frozen shrimp? Thaw frozen shrimp in the refrigerator. A 5 - pound block of shrimp will take 24 - 48 hours to thaw. While not recommended, shrimp can be thawed under cold running water. Never leave shrimp in standing water. It will lose color, flavor and nutrients. How do I store shrimp? Thawed and cooked shrimp can be kept refrigerated for 2 - 3 days. Keep in a closed container. Do not refreeze. How long do I cook shrimp? The biggest quality problem for shrimp is overcooking. Here are correct approximate cooking times: Large shrimp: 3 1/2 to 4 minutes Medium shrimp: 2 1/2 to 3 minutes Small shrimp: 1 1/2 to 2 minutes |

| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CoServ Annual Shareholders Meeting My wife and I went to the Coserv Annual Shareholders Meeting held at UNT Coliseum. Several Lantana residents were in attendance, along with thousands more, it was easy to see why a such huge place was required. Each resident of Lantana is a shareholder as that is who supplies our electric/gas. A live band entertained while people walked through the food line. The meeting served as a way for Coserv to get the word out on how they are working in this new energy crunch time. It was very informative. The meal was catered by Rudy's BBQ. The meal was free and so was the event. If you didn't make it, make it for next year. We received $20 off our next bill for going. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fundraiser Wanted, 50 people to take Concealed Handgun License Class Participate in this fundraiser to benefit the Denton County Republican Party & earn your Concealed Handgun License Cost: $125.00* ($50.00 of each fee will be donated to DCRP) *Includes: Prints, Photos, Notary, Range Fees Mail your check today to reserve a slot: PO Box 58, Lewisville, TX 75067 September 6th 9am-7pm Classroom Work September 13th Gun Range (TBA) Application packets will be furnished along with maps to classroom & range Jerry Raburn (Pct. #3 Constable) Top Gun Firearms Training For Additional Information: Please Call 972.436.1842 7:00pm - 9:00pm Constable Raburn will attend August Executive Committee meeting --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Denton County Republican Party 4th Annual Golf Classic Monday, October 6th 2008 Schedule of Events: 11:45 am Registration begins/ Range opens/Silent Auction Opens/ Putting Contest Opens 11:45 am Box Lunch 1:00 pm Shotgun Start 6:30 pm* Dinner Reception/Awards Silent Auction Closes * Time approximate according to speed of play Oakmont Country Club 1200 Club House Drive Corinth, TX 76210 Tel 940.321.5599 X 22 www.oakmontclub.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDS is holding a special meeting of stockholders July 31,2008 to vote on the proposed Merger with Hewlett-Packard Company.

Third grade girls fared the best with 32.09 percent designated in the healthy zone, while 12th grade girls fared the worst with 7.82 percent hitting the benchmarks. The assessment measured students in body composition, aerobic capacity, strength, endurance and flexibility. "We need to get back to the basics of ensuring basic health among our young people," Senator Nelson said at a news conference this week at the Capitol. "If we want our children to get serious about fitness, we need to get serious about making this issue a top priority." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deloitte To Begin Construction of New Campus in Westlake Business continues to boom in North Texas with the recent announcement from Deloitte LLP, which plans to build a $300 million training center in Westlake. The mega consulting firm intends to build a 750,000 square foot campus on 107 acres with 2011 as the estimated completion date. "We are very proud to welcome another corporate partner to North Texas," Senator Nelson said. "This is yet another sign that the Texas economy is holding strong despite the national trends." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Supreme Court Rulings A Mixed Bag for Texas Senator Nelson was the first Texan to sign her name to a Women in Government's brief to the Supreme Court asking that the Washington, D.C. handgun ban be overturned. She welcomed the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision striking it down. "The D.C. law trampled the Second Amendment of the Constitution, which clearly states that our right to bear arms should not be infringed," Senator Nelson said. In another ruling with Texas implications, the Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty for child rape is unconstitutional. "As a co-sponsor of Jessica's Law, I favor the harshest possible punishment for those who harm children," Senator Nelson said. "We are still trying to determine how this ruling will affect our new child protection laws in Texas." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take your kids back in time at Dinosaur Valley in Glenrose Texas.

| If you live in Lantana and have a child in High School this road should be familiar. A beautiful drive which just happens to be on the way to Guyer High School....Old Alton Road. Now this is a great old country road. |
| Should the pedestrian bridge be to the side of the bridge or should the current sidewalk be expanded into the roadway with a metal railing? This is the bridge heading to the two new schools. |
