Groundbreaking for new Howe ISD primary school
Last week the north side of Howe was asking about the three-day fire that was smoldering and blowing through the neighborhood. The answer is a 12-acre development in the works for about 40 new homes on Quinlan Street. That's a tiny thin street, so hopefully a backside entrance will also develop from that project. We found out last week that Howe Head Coach Bill Jehling is a very superstitious individual. The last minute change of the game from Thursday night to Friday night game caused for instant panic as the Friday routine had to become the Thursday routine. This includes the same shoes, same shirt, same meals, and such on different a day. After Thursday's game, I would bet that Howe will play on Friday nights from now on even if Bulldog Stadium was four foot under water. Google was caught brainstorming about how to tweak search results for political reasons. The uncovering of evidence was related to the travel ban that was issued back in January 2017. A Google product marketing manager named Mackenzie Thomas suggested in an email ways to “actively counter algorithmically biased results” for search results including “Islam,” “Iran,” “Mexico” and “Latino.” In other words, Google employees wanted to alter search results to make them more positive, for political reasons. Probably just another "conspiracy", eh?

Boyd flips out the lights on Howe's winning streak, 33-7
Boyd's Boone Eustace flipped by JD Thornton (21) of Howe. The Bulldogs recovered a fumble on this play. Michelle Carney/Howe Enterprise. Howe's new Head Coach Bill Jehling is quite superstitious and when it came time to move the game from Friday to Thursday, it put a large kink in his routine and plans. The Boyd Yellowjackets put a large kink in all other plans as a powerful offensive performance led by quarterback Kody Risenhoover accumulated
200 yards passing and 238 on the ground. On the flip side, Howe got in their own way on several occasions that cost them quite a bit of yardage. Cameron Blesi had a 63-yard touchdown called back in the first quarter that would have put Howe within seven points early, however, a facemask call negated the score and it page 2
City lowers tax rate, approves annual budget Tuesday's city council meeting took only 12 minutes in total. But it didn't go without big decisions being made during the quick time. Mayor Jeff Stanley stated that two public hearings have been held regarding the tax rate. Councilman Bill French made the following motion to approve Ordinance 751 which would levy property taxes for use and support of the municipal government of the City of Howe, Texas for the 2018-2019 fiscal year, a tax of $0.468575 on each $100 valuation of property for the purpose of maintenance and operations and a tax of $0.101425 on each $100 valuation of property for the use of interest and sinking on bonds and certificates of obligation.
of $0.57 is a decrease from last year's rate of $0.62. City Administrator Joe Shephard stated that the reason for the decrease is to offset the increase in property valuations. The council also approved the annual budget of $3,475,951.00. The budget gained approximately $300,000 in revenue from the 2017-18 budget largely due to new homes in Summit Hill and Howe Estates. The council also approved a voluntary annexation of 2703 State Highway 5 by Luis Mondragon where a home is currently under construction.
Requested variances from Howe ISD for the new primary school were tabled until next month's meeting The motion was second by due to more information Sam Haigis and carried needed by both engineers unopposed by the council - the city and school district members. The total tax rate contractor.
