55.26 Howe Enterprise November 13, 2017

http://howeenterprise.com/ Volume #55, Edition #26

Howe's That Oh sweet victory light how you make me so happy. The light was turned on Friday night by Andrew Griffin from the field of Bulldog Stadium by way of a phone app. It is a far cry from the old breaker box format back in the old days. But nonetheless, the light stands as a symbol of something good for our town.

Although the 40-year-old tradition only stands for the varsity football team and their wins, the light also has other victories behind the florescent lights this week.

Howe ISD's bond passed which ensures victory for the students and future students of Howe. The band's ninth place finish at the state marching competition is also a reason to celebrate. But in the end, it glows for what it was meant to glow for and that is a Friday night football win for the Howe Bulldogs.

After an 0-9 start, the meaning of the light for the senior players was evident from post-game comments

by Dylan Moreau and others as they said they couldn't wait to drive through town and see the reward for their efforts.

James "Blackie" Wade was only the Howe head football coach here for a short time and had a non-remarkable winning record of 16-21-3, but one of the best things he did while in Howe from 1976-1979 was install a string of light bulbs together to form a V on the back of the press box at Bulldog Stadium.

Photo by Ryan Litchfield one day we went to two contests and we performed up to three times that day and I believe that did make us better because every week the show kept coming together. It was pretty shaky (at first) but it got better and I believe our hard work over the past three or four months really got us to ninth in state."

Citizens of Howe gathered for a send-off for the band members as they headed to state last Monday.

The streets were lined with people and band members felt that it was a very emotional experience.

"Our hearts were full that day," said Catching. "We were so happy with our community coming together to send us off. We just found it a very humbling moment and we were all crying and happy to see everyone out there."

Catching says that the ride to San Antonio on a yellow bus was actually a fun ride, but also a relaxed one.

"We learned that keeping things on the low and relaxing helps a lot more than being crazy." said Catching.

Catching said that even though the performance entitled, 'Stained Glass" that they have performed countless times on many fields, it was much different under those circumstances.

"As soon as we got done with our finals performance, we knew it was the best we could have done and we got out to the trailers and everyone was crying," said Catching.

Howe ISD School Board Member Jeff Denham discusses the need for expansion in a July school board meeting. Staff photo applies to the facilities of the present campuses. After receiving the information that the elementary campus was projected to be over capacity in the 2018-19 school year, the ISD formed a Community Facility Committee made up of parents, teachers, and members of the business community in order to study the impact of the growth to the community and its impact on the school district.

"On behalf of Bulldogs For Bulldogs, I know we are excited that the bond passed for Howe ISD." said Ross in a written statement. "The school needed this badly.

Letting go of hatred and unforgiveness our soul hostage to contempt.

Sadly, many would rather live in agony, brooding thoughts of hostility instead of releasing them to God and allowing Him to execute justice His way.

I was called to pray for an elderly gentleman the other day that was near death. He was barely able to understand or communicate because of the heavy doses of morphine. His son was sitting next to the bed and after a while he started to talk about his dad. They were not close and he began to describe a man that was not only Dr. Billy Holland harsh and uncaring but actually abusive. I could sense the deep emotional pain as he revealed the How much grace does it take to sad story of a disappointed and love our enemies? Well, that is a wounded family. The son was a good question.

But Thanksgiving turkey cards are among my favorites and I seek out every turkey card I can find. They don’t seem to be as expensive as other holiday cards like Christmas, Easter, or Halloween. So that suits me too.

Dr. Georgia Caraway I started collecting vintage postcards for a class I was teaching on the general subject of Postcard Collecting. It is a class I hope to teach under the Pavilion in the backyard of Howe Mercantile next year.

Postcards are fun to collect on many levels. The messages they convey through their artwork is oftentimes funny, poignant, hopeful, loving, patriotic, and expressed in pictures and a few words “wish you were here.” They were less expensive to send than a letter, and were a quick and easy way to let someone know that the sender was thinking of the receiver.

Another tom, elegantly attired stands on a sidewalk outside an elegant restaurant and observes, “Oh yes, I am starred on the bill all right!” Another interesting card depicts the American eagle and the Thanksgiving turkey. The greeting reads, “May one give us peace in all our states, the other a piece for all our plates.”

Another 1911 card features a nattily dressed turkey that is reading a joke book. The greeting says “Thanksgiving Turkey, Chestnut Fed, with Dressing a La Mode.” Turkey postcards are generally inexpensive at $2.50 to $10, however the patriotic cards can cost in the $20-$25 range.

Embossed cards are more expensive than flat cards.

Shown here are four of my turkey cards featuring a patriotic theme.

How appropriate this is since we are becoming a nation that is once again showing gratitude for our country, its flag and anthem, for those who have given their lives for the freedom we enjoy, and those

who serve every day to retain that freedom. God Bless our Troops and God Bless America.

If you want to see these cards and my entire collection, come into Howe Mercantile where I have them on display.

May the world find peace in the coming year.

Dr. Georgia Caraway, former director of the Denton County Museums for 14 years, and her friends opened the Howe Mercantile at 107 East Haning. Store hours are Thursday through Saturday noon until 8 p.m. She has written five Denton history books. She hopes her next book will be the history of Howe. If anyone has photographs or documents that she can copy, please bring them to Howe Mercantile.

Howe Community Library to receive face-lift in two phases

Although Thanksgiving cards can feature Fall, pastoral scenes, and pumpkins, Many Thanksgiving postcards feature this bird whose days were numbered.

One set of the categories that postcard comprises 12 colorful turkey officianados consider designs with comic quotations. A classifications. Those areas include real photos, novelty, comic, plump bird muses, “I wonder why they are feeding me so lately?” artist-signed, leather, fantasy, The Howe Community Library is getting ready for a face-lift.

Thanks to two grants, one for $49,975 from the Tocker Foundation and another one for $23,417 from the Hancher Foundation, the library will soon have new flooring, paint, and furniture.

In order to minimize the impact on the students as well as the community, this renovation will occur in two phases.

Phase 1 will include new tile flooring and fresh paint in the areas where the new tile will be installed. This will be done over Thanksgiving week. The library will close at noon on Saturday, November 18, and not open again until Monday, November 27.

Phase 2 will include new carpet and new paint in the carpeted areas. A new circulation desk, new shelving (some new and some reworked), a new teen area, and a couple of club chairs will also be delivered. Phase 2 will be done from December 16 through January 2. The library will be closed during that time.

"We apologize for the inconvenience to our patrons, but the refreshed library will surely be worth it," said Library Director Melissa Atchisson. "All of us at the library are very excited about the upcoming changes and appreciate your patience as we get ready to continue serving our community in a bright new environment."

Within a few months, Borden was hired by Stephen F. Austin as a surveyor for his growing colony, on the recommendation of his brother.

Dr. Ken Bridges Dr. Bridges is a Texas native, writer, and history professor. He can be reached at drkenbridges@gmail.com.

At Thanksgiving, the Borden’s brand is a well-known and essential ingredient in many kitchens across the nation. Gail Borden, the inventor of condensed milk, played an important role in the Texas Revolution before he turned his attention to science and business.

Borden’s story is how an Indiana farmboy with almost no formal schooling went from being a Texas revolutionary and editor to a celebrated inventor and wildly successful New York factory owner. The calm and curious man nurtured not only revolution in Texas but a revolution in the food industry.

Things changed quickly in Texas as a great wave of change swept the land. American colonists who had come to Texas grew uneasy at the increasing depredations of an increasingly unstable Mexican government. In 1832, Borden became part of the committee of correspondence at San Felipe, communicating concerns about Mexico with other Texas communities. He served as a delegate to the Convention of 1833, which included future Texas presidents Sam Houston and David G. Burnet, which called for separate statehood for Texas from the Mexican state of Coahuila y Texas in order for Texans to more directly address their own affairs.

In 1835, Borden began working with his brother Thomas and Joseph Baker, a Maine native and school teacher, to start a newspaper. The Telegraph and Texas Register saw its first edition on October 10. It rose in prominence, essentially becoming the newspaper of record during the days of the Texas Revolution and the Texas Republic. Its editorials rallied the people of Texas during Gail Borden II was born in the revolution and called for aid Norwich, a remote farming from the United States.
