Howe's That When we took over the Howe Enterprise two and a half years ago, we did not do so to chase ambulances and report on our friends who had been in accidents.

It is the worst thing about this kind of venture and that's why we let the others with big journalism staffs carry the torch on those kinds of stories, therefore, we often share their information.

It was formally announced Wednesday morning that Mr. Katen had passed at 6:44 a.m.

The Howe Enterprise exists today because we want to promote the great things about Howe...our kids...our people...our resolve as a small and prospering community. We started this to help our local businesses because we watched new businesses in Howe constantly open and close because no one knew about them or had them 'top-ofmind.' The only way Howe businesses could advertise was to spend a lot of money on media that didn't necessarily include a Howe audience or give them the repetition it takes for advertising to work. We wanted our businesses to advertise to you, the Howe consumer, and do so consistently at a very inexpensive cost so that Dick Smithwick they could not only stay in business in Howe, but to Legends have been told, thrive in Howe. books have been written and movies have been made about former Texas A&M When accidents happen here, it is very likely that it Head Coach Bear Bryant involves one of our friends and his "Junction Boys" of 1954.

Seth Seibold, who will strap on the black and white this fall has probably heard these stories before, but the Howe Enterprise thought they were worthy of sharing to the local community.

Seibold's grandfather Dr. Dick Smithwick grew up on a farm in Richardson on Campbell Road. During the Great Depression his mother and father moved in with his mother's family, the Campbells (hence the name Campbell Road). It was there that he spent so much time with his grandfather Campbell working the farm and taking care of the animals that he continued on page 2

"I had made up my mind that I was going to TCU and I hadn't heard from A&M." said Smithwick. "I had the letter in my hand to accept their four-year scholarship and was running late to mail it that morning in Richardson so I was going to go to the post office at noon. At 11:00 am, the assistant coach from A&M came by and offered me a scholarship. So I had his offer in one hand and the letter to accept to TCU in the other."

He had gone 60-23-6 at Kentucky and was hired to revamp the program which had three straight losing seasons.

Bryant arrived in College Station on February 8, 1954, and began cleaning house. He felt that many of the returning A&M players were weak and not properly trained or coached. Therefore, he arranged for a training camp to be held in the small Hill Country "My senior year I had some town of Junction, where Texas scholarships offered from TCU and A&M had a 411-acre adjunct Texas Tech and other schools campus which is now the Texas including Oregon. But I wasn't Tech University Center at going that far away." said Junction).

Howe has had a 90 year history in the Boy Scout program. Early records indicate that it was established in Howe in April of 1926. Leaders of that first Howe troop, numbered 601 and belonging to the Grayson County Council, were William R. Veverett Jr., minister of the Christian Church, and Karl Everett Ashburn, high school principal. The first troop of 19 boys included Thurman Q. Thompson and J.A. McDonough.

Leaders of the troop in March, 1928 were Roy G. Percival (Methodist pastor) and C.A. Barnett. Boys in the troop included Erskine Bearden, Elwyn Cooper, L.B. Taylor and G.T. McDonough.

Donald Bill Bryant and Glen Sollis joined Edgar Jay as assistant scoutmasters in 1934. E. Powell and Charles R. Thompson were on the troop committee. Barnes Milam (Howe's first head football coach) stepped in, in April 1935 to relieve Jay as scoutmaster.

In December, 1943, an application was made for a neighborhood patrol instead of a troop. The number 45, now identified with Howe scouts, was assigned to the patrol. Eugene T. Johnson, the Baptist minister, met with the boys that year.

Troop 45 came into being on April 22, 1946. Sponsored by a group of citizens with Bill Mayo serving as scoutmaster for the next four years.

They ran Patterson of 400 yards of "Out of the 104, by the end of our sophomore year, there were 18 of us still playing." said Smithwick.

"I played a full two-years of football on the four-year scholarship, but I was spending 20 hours a week with some kind of football, whether meetings or workouts. All of my classes were in science fields and I had to make a decision - play football or go try to get into veterinary medicine.

When I was accepted to get into vet school, I told the coach, I've got to go. I've been looking forward to doing this for too many years to let it slip out."

With the highly talented freshman class that Smithwick was in, it wasn't an easy decision to walk away. The Aggies had gone from 1-9 in Bryant's first year, to 7-2-1 his sophomore year. They would go undefeated in 1956, the year Smithwick stopped playing.

Smithwick says that he respected Bear Bryant as a coach, but not so much feeling for him as an individual. The reason came from an incident with his roommate Ralph Patterson.

Heading into their sophomore year, Patterson and Smithwick were in their dorm when a knock on the door took place about 10 days before spring training began.

The knock was from Bear Bryant who asked Smithwick how much he weighed when he came in his freshman year. Smithwick responded with 205 pounds. He then wanted to know how much he weighed presently, which Smithwick responded with 215.

Bryant then turned to Patterson and asked him what his freshman weight was, which was 215.

When Bryant asked what his current weight was, Patterson responded with 235. Bryant told him that he wouldn't issue him a uniform unless he weighed 215.

After a practice with Smithwick and the rest of the team having already showered, Patterson was just coming off of the field after Owens kept him for extra running. Smithwick had gone back to the dorm to get ready to go to a meeting and to eat and had told Patterson to hurry to go with him. However, Patterson crawled up in his bed and said he didn't feel like going.

Faith

by Debbie Wallis

“Happy is the man who…delights in the law of the Lord and meditates on His law day and night. He is like a tree planted near running water that yields its fruit in due season and whose leaves never fade,” Psalms 1:1, 2-3.

God’s laws remain the same. We can look around and see so many changes; everything seems to have a flow and nothing stands still.

Seasons change, people age, civilizations rise and fall. The only truth that will never change is God. He is who He says He is. “God is not man, He cannot lie, nor is He human, He will not change His mind. He will do everything He says He will do. What He promises He will fulfill,” Numbers 23:19. No matter how uncertain your life may seem, you can trust in God’s constant and unconditional love.

Monday, August 15, 2016 you base your belief from the world’s system you will always be changing. “As a result, we aren’t supposed to be infants any longer who can be tossed and blown around by every wind that comes from teaching with deceitful scheming and the tricks people play to deliberately mislead others,” Ephesians 4:14.

Every Christian possess the “mind of Christ”. If you want to have a mature mind you have to change your thinking to match God’s ways. “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect,” Romans 12:2. Christians should look, act and believe different than non-Christians. “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in Him. For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever,” 1 John 2:15. God will never change His ways. He will always remain the same.

“Gen-er-a-tion gap: A generation gap or generational gap, is a difference of opinion between one generation and another regarding beliefs, politics, or values. In today’s usage, ‘generation gap’ often refers to a perceived gap between younger people and their “I am the LORD, and I do not parents and/or grandparents,” change. That is why you Webster’s Dictionary. The length descendants of Jacob are not already of guy’s hair or girl’s shorts may destroyed,” Malachi 3:6. Time be one source of disagreement doesn’t affect God, God created between generations. God time. God is the same today as He doesn’t care about fashion or was when He spoke life into trends. He cares about our existence in Genesis. God has salvation, character, godly always been and will always remain. behavior and obedience to His God is perfect so there is no need to ways. He is a perfect Father and improve over time. No matter how only agrees with what is perfect this imperfect world flips flops its beliefs; God remains the same. If

for us. Politics do not change God but politics reflect the hearts of man generation after generation. It’s not a generation gap that makes “social issues” in politics divide parties... it’s a wicked heart’s desire to make sin lawful. Our heart is our mind, our will and our emotions.

“Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever wants to be a friend to the world makes himself an enemy of God,” 1 John 2:15. Most of us will know exactly what the Lord is trying to tell us with this verse. We are to stay in this world by treating our bodies like it’s the church for the Holy Spirit. We have a mission and the goal of each Christian’s life

Page #8 should be to accomplish, to the best of their ability, the perfect will of God for their life. As Christians, we have to realize that we no longer belong to ourselves…much less to the world! We have been bought by a price. God is looking for people whose heart is fully His and are loyal and faithful to Him. If we are faithful to God, He will show Himself strong towards us in all we do. “For the eyes of the Lord run throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him,” 2 Chronicles 16:9.

Learn about antiques and collectibles with Dr. Georgia Caraway

Sascha Brastoff (1917-1993), at various times in his life was a Hollywood costume designer, sculptor, dancer, jewelery designer, painter, and terra cotta and ceramic designer. Soon after the US entry into WWII, he joined the Army Air Corps and was assigned first as a designer and then as a performer to the Air Force show, “Winged Victory,” in which he stopped the show with his impression of Carmen Miranda, an act he repeated in the film version. His work in “Winged Victory” landed him a postwar comtract with 20th Century Fox, and he designed costumes, coincidentally, for Carmern Miranda. In 1947, under the financial sponsorship of Winthrope B. Rockefeller, Brastoff opened his own decorative ceramic factory in Los Angeles.

Brastoff left his successful studio in 1963 suffering from nervous exhaustion. The company survived 10 more years under the leadership of its plant manager. Brastoff produced “Sascha Holograms” for the Hummelwerk Company and continued making jewelry and sculptures until his death in 1993.

dinnerware were introduced in the 1950s. Resin animals signed “Sascha B” were not designed or made by Brastoff, but are nevertheless sought by collectors.

For more information consult “The Collectors Encyclopedia of Sascha Brastoff” by Conti, Bethany, and Seay. Prices range from $40 to $100 for unmarked or Sascha B pieces to $200 to $600 for full signature pieces. The piece in the photograph is valued between $200-300.

Texas History Minute:

Dr. Ken Bridges The 1870s and 1880s on the western frontier were years filled with unforgettable characters who became legends. Tales of their exploits echoed across the empty plains into the American imagination. Doc Holliday became one of the most famous of these figures, and his journey into legend began in the Lone Star State.

John Henry “Doc” Holliday was born in central Georgia in 1851.

His father was a veteran of the Mexican War and the Civil War. He became an expert shot while a youngster. When he was a teenager, his mother and stepbrother both died from tuberculosis, a widespread and deadly lung infection that was often called the “white plague.”

Holliday was an ambitious young man with a brilliant mind. He reportedly absorbed languages such as Greek, Latin, and French. In 1870, he enrolled at the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery, the most prestigious dental school in the country at the time, though few such schools were to be had. In just over a year, at the age of 20, he completed his doctorate.

He soon established a dental practice in Georgia and was on his way to a quiet, respectable career when he also came down with tuberculosis. While the disease is easily curable today, it was a death sentence in the 1870s. The common belief at the time was that the warm, dry climates of the West could slow the deterioration of the lungs. So with little left to lose, Holliday moved to Texas.

He established a successful dental practice in downtown Dallas in 1873. However, his coughing fits during examinations and news of his contagious illness frightened away many patients. As a result, the gambling he once enjoyed for recreation became an important source of income.

As Dallas leaders attempted to tame the wild frontier city, gambling became a crime. Wellknown gamblers like Holliday were targeted, and he was indicted in 1874 for illegal gambling. The situation grew even worse in 1875 when he got into a shootout with a Dallas bartender. While he was acquitted in the incident, Holliday realized his days in Dallas were numbered.

That year, he left Dallas and headed north to Denison. He attempted to restart his dental career in the small community, but his increasing complications from tuberculosis made it difficult to stay in business.

Within a few months, he left for Fort Griffin, northeast of modern-day Abilene. His Grayson County office was the last known time he had a regular dental practice.

At Fort Griffin, Holliday began gambling full time and moving from place to place. For a time, he worked as a card dealer in Colorado. On a trip back to Fort Griffin, he met Wyatt Earp, who was then working as a Deputy U. S. Marshal in pursuit of a suspected train robber.

The two became close friends and that loyalty itself became a legend. Holliday saved Earp’s life on several occasions and stood with him and his brothers at the notorious shoot-out at the O. K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, in 1881.

Holliday found himself in several gunfights over the years but survived them all. He succumbed to his lingering illness at a sanitorium in Colorado in 1887.

Holliday’s fame rose in the years after his death as tales of his exploits and the famed gunfight at the O. K. Corral spread and eventually found their way into the movies. While many variations on the story have appeared, from such actors as Victor Mature, Kirk Douglas, and Dennis Quaid, many depictions gained acclaim for the portrayal of the legendary figure who was as quick with a oneliner as he was with his guns.

Val Kilmer’s performance as an unflappable and quick-witted Holliday in Tombstone (1993)

has by itself won a legion of fans.

Arrested more than a dozen times and responsible for shooting an untold number of men, Holliday was never convicted of a crime.

Each April, Denison celebrates the Doc Holliday Festival in honor of its one-time resident.

"The doctor told him that if everything goes right, you might be able to play golf." said Smithwick.

Patterson's father, a former professional boxer, went to Bear Bryant and pulled him by his loose necktie across the room.

Smithwick said that Patterson's father would have really done a number on Bryant, but was calmed down by Ralph.

He worked with his cousin from 1961 before opening up his own practice in Richardson in 1964. Later, he would build a clinic on Spring Valley between Greenville Avenue and Central Expressway where he stayed until 1992.

"I enjoyed working with the people as much as the animals." said Smithwick.

While working in Richardson and living in Allen, Smithwick had purchased some land from Cecil Matthews in west Howe in 1971.

Owning land in west Howe meant that one of the first people he met was David Catching who became his first client from Howe.

"Talk about a neophyte. The first "Bear didn't do it, but he was in person I met was David Catching. charge of the people that did do it." Then I met Murray Akins, and then said Smithwick.

Jeff Leake, who owns the property where the helicopter crashed, told the Herald Democrat reporter that Cavender walked uphill about 200 yards to Leke’s residence and banged on the door. Leke said he was limping and was beside himself. Leake called 911.

"We were the new kids on the block and they would always invite us over." said Smithwick. "Those are nice people. If you ever want to get into a group - you couldn't ask for a better family."

“If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride – and never quit – you’ll be a winner.

The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.” - Bear Bryant.

Dr. Smithwick and his lovely wife Daisy have called Howe home for a number of years now. As times have changed, their grandson Seth is well-hydrated during practices.

He weighs nearly the same at the beginning and end of each practice.

Dr. Smithwick's goal since age six was to be a veterinarian. To reach that goal, he had to play a game for a coach that took him to the limits of what a human body can take.

His goal was not to be an NFL star, but to be a guy that loved animals and loved people. In return, he became the one that was loved.

In the Howe tournament, the Lady Bulldogs fared well with second place finish. They will play again Tuesday at home vs. Tom Bean at 5 p.m. Photo by Sheila Honore
