A bonus for the readers of our print newspaper - Insight Denton - where we get the answers to questions that come up with readers during the week. Coming up this weekend: how to report potholes and how to follow legislation (somehow those seem to go together).

Last week, we filed this:

Is it legal to fire a gun in the city limits?

No, not even with blanks. There are a handful of exceptions — live fire at a sanctioned firing range or a gunsmith’s shooting gallery is allowed. Firing blanks for a theatrical or ceremonial event is OK. Police officers are exempt when firing in the line of duty. Individuals are exempt when justifiably defending their property or person. In the city’s code of ordinances, the City Council has reserved the authority to grant certain individual permissions.

If you hear gunfire in the city limits, even if you’re not sure whether it was gunfire, Denton police Officer Orlando Hinojosa says, “Call 911.”

Dallas-Fort Worth area residents take pride in their lush lawns. They seed them, mow them, relax on them, play sports on them. But mostly they water them. Yet few of these lawn lovers realize just how much water it takes to keep their yard looking beautiful.

MATAGORDA COUNTY — A green tractor moves slowly through a dirt field in the Mad Island Marsh Preserve, pulling a disk plow that churns and breaks up black clods of dried soil and stubble.

ROANOKE — The wind is howling across the wastewater treatment plant here — a sprawling maze of storage tanks, sludge grinders, bar screens, pumps and other heavy-duty equipment designed to remove human waste, diapers, baby wipes, drugs, toilet paper, parasites, viruses, fungi and other foul contamin…
