Veterans honored at Howe church of Christ

There will be a Veterans Day Program today at Howe High School at 9 am. All veterans are welcomed to attend.

Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'" As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans.

In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress -- at the urging of the veterans service organizations - amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

In 1968, the Uniforms Holiday Bill ensured threeday weekends for federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. Under this bill, Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holiday on its original date. The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on Oct. 25, 1971.

Jesse Stonebarger, Harvey Morris, and Robert Helms were some of the veterans on-hand at the annual Howe church of Christ Veterans Breakfast. Submitted photo.

Local student runs Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C.

Jordan Griffin in his first and most recent marathon.

Jordan Griffin, a Howe High School student, recently ran in the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) which is a 26.2 mile run in Washington D.C. Griffin says he trained for seven months for the event in which his father and grandfather have run on six occasions.

http://scogginsfuneralhome.com/

"Getting to run through all the monuments makes you run with a purpose and run with pride," said Griffin.

The run has sparked interest in Griffin to join the military and says that he is interested in Air Force, Navy or Marine sectors.

"Unfortunately my father was unable to run this year so I ran for the both of us," said Griffin. "He was enlisted from 1995-1999."

The MCM is one of the largest marathons in the US and the world and stands as the largest marathon in the world that doesn't offer prize money, earning its nickname, "The Griffin finished with an unofficial People's Marathon." The MCM time of 5:27:24 which placed him has been voted “Best Marathon in 17,822 overall among approximately 30,000 contestants. the Mid Atlantic,” “Best Marathon for Charities” and “Best Spectator "Being a Marine's son, it was very Event."

Haleen Parrish (seventh from left) of The School Zone Academy who were given outstanding status as child care providers. https://www.txfb-ins.com/insurance/agent/Grayson/23242/LorettaAnderson

achieved a state-certification for their program. This is a voluntary process that uses an assessment with a standard set of five categories that exceeds the minimum standards that are required by child care licensing.

The five categories of assessment include: 1. Director and staff qualifications and training; 2. Caregiver-child interactions; 3. Curriculum; 4. Nutrition and indoor/outdoor activities; and 5. Parent involvement and education.

Child Care providers who become accredited as a Texas Rising Star provider are assessed annually to ensure they continue to meet the standards. There are three levels of certification, 2 star, 3 star and 4 star. Each star reflects a higher level of quality that has been achieved by the provider. A 4 star provider has met the highest quality standards for this accreditation.

Workforce Solutions Texoma presented each 4 Star Texas Rising Star provider in attendance with an incentive check of $2,750 with the 3 Star provider receiving $2,000.

The incentive will be used to assist the Texas Rising Star provider in maintaining their current Texas Rising Star accreditation or improving their current star level, if appropriate.

Workforce Solutions Texoma currently has seven Texas Rising Star providers in the three-county area and three facilities that are working towards their certification. The seven local Texas Rising Star providers are:

Growing Smart Learning Center, Sherman, 3 star provider Footsteps and Fingerprints, Bonham, 4 star provider Lil Leopards Learning Ladder, Gainesville, 4 star provider Montessori Academy of North Texas, Sherman, 4 star provider Pre-School for Little Zebras, Sherman, 4 star provider The Children’s Tree Learning Center, Whitesboro, 4 star provider The School Zone Academy, Howe, 4 star provider These Texas Rising Star child care providers give our community a valuable service --- taking care of our community's children! These caring people ensure our children are in a safe and nurturing environment, all while offering early education, even to the littlest of infants. Congratulations to the area Texas Rising Star providers on their dedication to quality child care.

The School Zone Academy opened its doors in 1985 with owner Kathleen Todd. The business was celebrated by the Howe Area Chamber of Commerce recently for their continued success in Howe for the long duration.

Todd's daughter Haleen Parrish is now the director of operations for the popular child care facility.

For this year's band performances, Director Angie Liss had planned to order digitally printed backdrops with pictures of a school, classroom, and playground. These backdrops are used during marching competition which has become a big part of the presentations over the past several years. However, when Liss called to confirm the order, she was told that the one-week turnaround she was promised would actually take a month to six weeks to complete.

This would have resulted in a spending of over $1,000 that might only be used a few times. Not wanting to justify the expense, Liss remembered that the backside of last year's "Stained Glass" props were solid black vinyl.

"I said something to the whole band about doing "kids drawings" on the back of the vinyls," said Liss. "That's when Kaden (Bateman) and Bethany (Van page 9 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

aaa spurred an idea that would become the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM). Fowler outlined a unique plan for the Marine Corps Reserve Marathon (MCRM) to promote community goodwill, showcase the Marine Corps, serve as a recruiting tool and also give Marines an opportunity to qualify for the marathon in Boston.

"After the Vietnam War, the popularity of the military services declined in the eyes of many. At the same time, distance running was gaining considerable positive attention," said Fowler, driving him to write a memo to his superior, Gen. Michael Ryan, on Oct. 17, 1975, sharing his idea.

Under Fowler's and Ryan's leadership, the Marine Corps Reserve Marathon welcomed its first participants to the Washington D.C. start line Nov. 7,

1976. Of the total participants, 994 were male and 24 were female making 1,018 finishers. At the time, this was the largest inaugural participation for a marathon. Each participant paid an entry fee of only $2 to enjoy a run through the nation's capital. The first person to arrive at the finish with a time of 2:21:14was two-time Olympian Kenneth Moore of Eugene, OR. Susan Mallery of Arlington, VA led all females by finishing in 2:56:33.

a

This success gave Fowler the motivation to make the second even better. Colonel Fowler met with the Chief of Police for the District of Columbia and was granted a parade permit empowering him to alter the Marathon's course to the more scenic route enjoyed by participants today.

The two girls enlisted the help of freshman Riley Burris and spend many hours working on the projects.

"She told us to do what we thought would look best and gave us the reigns," said Bateman.

"We just stayed after school and asked if she needed help with anything and one thing led to another," said junior Kaden Bateman.

How important is it for us to know God? I have thought about why many Christians including myself so often struggle in a lukewarm state of mind much more than we should. To say Dr. Billy the least, there are Holland several reasons but actually these are not considered justifiable excuses.

I have regular conversations with my close friends about the spiritual life and one thing we all share in common is how difficult it is to stay motivated with our prayer life while maintaining our enthusiasm to resist temptation. I realize everyone’s schedule is filled with distractions and we are busy just trying to keep up with everything we need to do, but when it comes to God, it always comes down to priorities and what we love the most. Of course, we have the obvious enemy called the devil which we do not hesitate to blame for our failures, but pointing our finger and accusing anyone other than ourselves is not really taking personal responsibility for our actions. The truth is, at the end of the day, we do exactly what we want to do.

I recently wrote a short story called, “Living an illusion” that is about an average guy who lives a normal life and then discovers after he passes away that his ideas were not exactly lined up with the way God thinks. It’s a sobering consideration that emphasizes how we only have one existence and one chance to get it right.

Once we cross over into the next life, there are no do-overs and no more opportunities. I encourage you to read the story on my website. This reminds me of the next reason why we have a hard time walking close to God and that is we are influenced by a rebellious nature. When we are born, we are blind to spiritual truth and do not have the ability to understand God’s word or the desire to seek after the knowledge and wisdom that we need. This is why we must be born-again so that we can be transformed into a new spirit and be renewed in our

mind and conscience. We must have the correct receiver and be dialed to the precise channel in order for us to receive God’s signal.

I’m going to be completely honest, the Christian life is hard. With the two powerful forces that I’ve mentioned already, it’s no wonder why we have such a difficult time staying on the straight and narrow.

This conflict is commonly referred to as spiritual warfare and I’m sure many of you will agree these battles are fierce and often. Yes, we can have the victory over sin but the idea of the Christian fighting in a literal war means we are an active soldier that is always on duty. If we believe our mission after we have accepted the gift of salvation is laying on the couch and eating ice cream, we can clearly see why we are always feeling like a punching bag. I realize it’s not popular but we’ve been called to pray, study, and fast so that we can build courage and discernment. If we are not equipped with our spiritual armor, using our sword and shield, filled with hope, and dedicated to interceding for others, how can we expect to be a successful warrior?

Even more important than all the religious things we say or do is having a personal relationship with the one who gave his life for us.

Most people want just enough of God to save them but not to the point where it becomes uncomfortable or requires something from them. It’s much easier to wade in the water that’s only up to our ankles instead of jumping in over our head with total dedication and commitment to his will. We are first in line for his help and blessings but not really excited about words like sacrifice, perseverance, and accountability.

So, how much of God do we want and how important is it to follow him? I’m reminded how the discipline of participating in sports is similar to the dedication and determination needed to be a serious and effective Christian.

Champions work hard and have a vision of who and what they want to achieve which is another reason why most people are simply not interested. A truth seeker is

listening, learning and focused on our spiritual vision?

God’s voice and is willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish their Read more at vision. Come to think of it, what is billyhollandministries.com

The Patriot Pony

by JD Jones, freelance writer for America

www.southwestauction.com

The New World Order will be a totalitarian socialist government. Some might say a benevolent despotism. In order to fight this, the people must be able to protect themselves, their family, and their community.

Americans need to wake up to this direction and become responsible and understand what is happening and how the system works and understand that this is not a democracy - it is a republic. Democracies never work. They always deteriorate into socialism where a dictator rises to take charge. If a democracy lasts long enough, it will destroy itself through immorality and licentiousness. Take the old Roman empire for example which began as a democracy. When you have one man-one vote, the people are selfish and greedy and will vote themselves everything they can possibly get until everything disintegrates.

Educate your family, educate your neighbors, educate your community. Take our country back as a republic. We must once again become what we were intended to be which is a government for and by the people. We must know everything that's happening in Washington because we are supposed to be the arbiters of our own faith. We must be the watchdogs of our government. We began as sovereign kings in our own right when this country was formed, and the government was our servant. However, we are quickly becoming the property of the government which is becoming once again the Roman empire. If the direction is not shifted, it will result into anarchy with race wars where people will kill you for a can of spinach.

live. Therefore, they are the underground unelected bureaucrats that live in the murky underworld of the "Deep State." In order to gain control, they cannot have you be able to defend yourself. They will try and take away your guns and as we've seen this week, even take away your vote by fraudulently allowing members of the deep state to take over positions within the government by rigging elections. And if you think that this is a Democrat versus Republican issue, you are the ones that need to be awoken the most. Don't forget about the 2000 election where a Republican was elected after election-official fraud.

Our forefathers gave us the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution so that we could protect ourselves against a government should it become despotic and oppressive. If we lose our Constitution and Bill of Rights, freedom will fall everywhere in the world. This is the only place in the world that has a chance to stave off socialism. Socialism has always destroyed everything that it has ever touched.

It takes everything away from you including your dignity and self-respect. You reach a state of total dependency where the government becomes your father and you become a helpless child. In that environment, you pretend to work, and they pretend to pay you. That's not my America.

What could be the most dangerous situation facing America is the talking head liars that are owned by the networks. They draw on the wildest scenarios and discuss them back and forth endlessly as if Americans cannot think for themselves. Some are in fact asleep, but we are here to help wake up the weary for the new dawn in America where liberty and justice will override the darkness of the false illuminant.

Theodore Roosevelt said, “Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government, owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.”

What exactly is the Deep State? and how dangerous is it? It’s no longer any secret that, within our government and across both political parties as well as others, there are groups of people who have all joined hands to reject the results of the last Presidential Election. They also reject the policies and the goals of those elected. Much of this is attributed to what’s being referred to as “The Deep State”. Many people think President

Texas History Minute Honor matters. In any organization, military or civilian, the importance of integrity, loyalty, and dedication are beyond question.

Dr. Ken It is these Bridges principles that led the United States to victory in World War I, a war now a century in the past. Millions of Americans served in this war, some giving everything for their country, including Texans. One of the men leading American troops into battle was Gen. Robert Howze, a career officer from East Texas who served with quiet dedication and honor throughout his 38-year career.

Robert Lee Howze was born in Overton, a small community just east of Tyler, in 1864. He was born in the midst of the Civil War as the Confederate effort neared collapse.

His father, James Howze, served as a captain in the 14th Texas Cavalry. Growing up, he was inspired by his father’s own wartime service to seek a military career of his own.

Howze graduated from Hubbard College, more of a collegepreparatory school, in 1883. He was awarded an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point. When he graduated in 1888, he earned a commission as a lieutenant and was assigned to the Sixth Cavalry in the New Mexico Territory.

In 1890, the army grew concerned about the growth of the Ghost Dance religion at the Black Hills Indian Reservation in South Dakota and the associated ceremonial dances. Fearing a rebellion was about to erupt, army units across the West were sent to the reservation to restore order. What resulted was the mass shootings of unarmed civilians, culminating in the Wounded Knee Massacre in December 1890 in which 150 Sioux were killed. Howze and his unit were not involved in that incident, and actions against the Sioux continued. Howze was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions in an engagement with a group of Sioux in January 1891.

The medals awarded during the campaign, however, have become increasingly controversial since that time.

Great War in Europe. President Woodrow Wilson had attempted to stay neutral in the fighting and even tried to negotiate a peace settlement since the war started in 1914. In 1917, after Germany threatened to attack American ships and attempted to incite Mexico to attack the US, America declared war on Germany.

Quickly, millions of men were drafted into the service in a war to, as Wilson said, “make the world safe for democracy.”

He was given command of the 38th Infantry Division, training as many new recruits as possible before sending them to France.

The fighting was fierce.

American casualties surged. He was promoted to major general and given command of the Third Division in the decisive MeuseArgonne Offensive in October 1918. American troops fought with great courage under Howze’s command. The offensive finished off the exhausted Germans, who asked for a cease-fire after years of battle and millions dead across Europe. The war officially ended on November 11, 1918, a day remembered afterward as Armistice Day and today known as Veterans Day. Howze and his forces stayed in Germany until 1919 as an occupational force. Germany was in the midst of revolution after the war, and the Allies stayed to maintain order. He was then returned to Fort Bliss.

In America, Billy Mitchell, a decorated army general, saw a new war coming on the horizon and tried to warn the nation.

Mitchell desperately sought support for developing the Army Air Corps and new aviation technology and foresaw the serious deficiencies in American defenses in Hawaii. However, Mitchell’s bitter and public criticisms of army preparedness and air technology development led to his demotion and reassignments to an army camp in San Antonio by 1925.

Is renter’s insurance worth it?

Taylor Kovar

Hi Taylor - I’m planning to buy a house soon but not sure exactly when it’ll happen. In the meantime, is renters insurance worth it? Any tips on what I should look for? -Skylar

2. Option to bundle. If you already have car insurance, get on the horn with your current insurance agent and see what they can offer. Insurers love to bundle for existing clients and you can usually get decent coverage at a nominal cost. Start with your current auto or life insurance provider and then see what other companies have to offer. This is probably the best place to start, even if it isn’t the final solution.

3. Know what’s covered. Renters insurance can leave people in the lurch when they don’t read the fine print. If you live in Houston and your insurance won’t cover damage from flooding, that’s a big hole in your plan. In some cases you have to buy separate policies for specific natural disasters, so you can’t just assume your policy covers against weather patterns and events 1. Coverage type. You’ll have to common to your area. You might choose between actual cash value have to pay more or find a company with a more inclusive and replacement value, and this can significantly affect the cost of policy.

Hey Skylar - If you live in a building, you should have some type of insurance protecting your possessions and peace of mind. Renters insurance is fairly inexpensive and the alternative - losing precious, valuable items - can cost a whole lot. As far as what to look for, here are three factors to think about.

Living with children For the record, I believe in the concept of public (aka, taxpayerfunded, government, “free”) schools.

I attended public schools and obtained an excellent education that John Rosemond challenged my intellect and imparted a broad understanding of the world and my place in it. I am forever grateful to my teachers. Some were more likeable than others, but they were all dedicated to their craft and mission.

late:

In a nutshell, the best research finds that mild-to-moderate punishment works far better than any alternative (rewarding, ignoring, talking) at correcting misbehavior; that the most obedient kids are also the happiest; and that the highest student achievement is associated with teachers who employ moderate criticism and create teacher-centric classrooms.

This explains why so many people who were once very good teachers are now working in the private sector, where the meritocracy and common sense continue to prevail, albeit hanging on for dear life.

Characteristic of an ideology-driven institution is a blind eye to facts that do not affirm the ideology in question. Concerning America’s public education system, that description seems to fit. Consider the following statement from a teacher, who echoes the complaint of nearly every public-school teacher to whom I’ve spoken of

John Rosemond has worked with families, children, and parents since 1971 in the field of family psychology. In 1971, John earned his masters in psychology from Western Illinois University and was elected to the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society.

“We are told we need to ‘understand their behavior’ and use ‘restorative justice’ to help a student through a bad behavior episode....NO consequence should be given for the behavior because it is a ‘teaching moment.’ How do we get the education system to realize that coddling kids is not the answer?”

First, the attempt to “understand” the circumstances and motives surrounding a child’s misbehavior is a form of enabling in which an adult helps a child construct a justification of one sort or another for an offense. The assignment of blame must be avoided at all cost because, theoretically, the perpetrator is as much a victim as I began having misgivings concerning public education during the actual victim. He’s wrestling my kids’ school years. The schools with “issues,” supposedly.

Restorative justice – offenderthey attended were less than victim reconciliation – is the challenging and often driven, it logical outgrowth of that counterseemed, by educational fad (e.g., productive process. Mind you, outcome-based education, open classrooms, new math). In addition, restorative justice is the default approach even when the victim is parents and teachers – the latter, mostly – were beginning to tell me a teacher. In the Brave New World of the American public stories of classroom discipline school, teachers and students are debacles of a sort that I never saw equals and students rate their or even heard of when I was a teachers based largely on how student. Since then – over the past well they succeed at being liked. forty years, that is – the discipline problems teachers are expected to Eventually, ideologies run out of deal with have only gotten worse, new ideas and begin recycling old by much. ones under new nomenclature, and so it is with this supposedly The further problem is that over that same time, teachers have been cutting-edge approach to school discipline: it is nothing more than slowly but surely stripped of permission to punish. According to a new spin on the “I’m okay, you’re okay” silliness that took educational and psychological America by storm in the late ideologues, punishment is 1960s. Combine restorative demeaning, lowers self-esteem, leads invariably to resentment, and justice with academic relativism – there being several equally other things it is and does not. correct ways to spell “alphabet,” Research done by social scientists for example (red ink lowers selfwho possess an abundance of esteem, doncha know?) – and the objectivity – increasingly hard to find – contradicts all the politically- inevitable result is ever-increasing classroom (and intellectual) correct propaganda pertaining to anarchy. punishment.
