Howe ISD officially opposes possible charter school Local Independent School Districts have pushed back on a non-profit organization called Frontier Education Foundation that is hoping to open a charter school in Whitewright. Recently filing with the TEA (Texas Education Agency), the school is hoping to open for the 2020-2021 school year.

Recently, the TEA sent impact statement letters to 28 nearby school districts that would most certainly be impacted. The letter estimated that the charter school would estimate over 1,000 students in the fifth year of existence which is larger than the majority of school districts in Grayson County.

Howe ISD Superintendent Kevin Wilson discussed the situation with the school board on Monday night and made his concerns evident and stated that the area superintendents have met multiple times and signed a superintendent resolution opposing it.

"There's a lot of reasons why," said Wilson. "This particular one, in my mind, the major concerns that I have is that the appearance is that they are trying to establish a private church school under the name of a charter school."

Charter schools are funded the same as independent school districts, whereas page 3

Howe Head Coach Derek Lands discusses strategy during a timeout in the heated fourth period.

Michelle Carney/Howe Enterprise. which seconds later became the final score.

After Dean's would-be gamewinning shot, Howe still had a chance with 21.94 seconds remaining as Howe Head Coach Derek Lands called a full timeout to gather a plan to score. With the ball in Jenna Honore's hands on the right wing dribbling to the right corner with pressure from Jessiah Riley, the ball went off of Honore and out of bounds. This led to three quick desperation fouls to send Mineola to the line. During the second foul, Honore, the district defensive MVP, seemed to be in position to draw the charge on Dean, but a blocking call was made instead which virtually eliminated a serious threat for a last-second comeback. Dean missed her free throw which was rebounded by Honore who found the District 103A MVP Ally Harvey at halfcourt for a last-second heave from her hip that missed going in by a foot to the right. Soon afterward, an eruption from the crowd in orange and their head coach Troy Riley who ran to the Lady Jacket crowd and underarm flexed his muscles which sent the crowd into a frenzy.

get Honore off balance for the goahead score and Honore answered back with an outstanding defensive drawn charge. The only problem for Howe was - the charge wasn't called.

Howe started the game strong with Molly Wilson scoring the game's first points. The Lady Bulldogs did a nice job early of breaking the quick Mineola press, meanwhile, Honore held Dean scoreless in the first as Howe led 9-6 after the first eight minutes of the game. Mineola had to rely on a 3-pointer by Meghan Brewington for half of the Lady Jackets first points.

As the second period began, Howe's usually sharp-shooting long ball specialist Cassidy Anderson, named the district's offensive MVP, started cold by missing on her first five 3point attempts in the half. As Howe went cold, Dean began to heat up after starting 0-for-7 from the field scoring six of the Lady Jackets' eight second period points.

Midway through the second with Howe clinging to a 5-point lead, 115, Anderson was subbed for sophomore Sierra Copeland and Wilson for sophomore Katie This year's version of Lands' team Grogan. Seconds later Dean hit her was built heavily around defense first two buckets of the game in with five starters with exceptional back-to-back fashion to cut the abilities to lock-down their Howe lead to 11-10.

than a teacher's salary.

Wilson stated that the school would be located at King's Trail Cowboy Church and that the pastor of the church, Jason Norton, is listed on the TEA application as the CEO.

Frontier Education Foundation Founder and Vice Chair of the Board Cheryll Yowell told the Herald Democrat that one thing that separates a charter school from a traditional public school is how a charter can pick broader boundaries in order to attract students from other areas. She said even though public schools do often accept transfer students, they tend to turn people away once the district is at capacity.

"Seven of the nine board members are church members," said Wilson.

"If that is, in fact, the case, that's a dangerous path to start blurring the lines between charter schools and private schools."

Local superintendents met with newly-elected State Representative Reggie Smith about the situation.

Whitewright Superintendent Steve Arthur recently told the Herald Democrat that if the Whitewright ISD lost just 10 students, it would result in a reduction of $65,000 in state funding which is well more

Frontier's curriculum would revolve around outdoor and garden areas where students would learn to care for and harvest plants.

The Howe ISD Board of Trustees made it official by opposing the formation of Frontier Charter School.

Lady Bulldogs success dusts off great teams and players of the past With the recent success of the Lady Bulldogs, record books were flung open and old newspapers were sifted through to find former teams with great success. While thumbing through the pages, cheers could be heard from the old WPA gymnasium on Denny Street as Mickey Dutton hit a 12-foot jumper. The roar of the crowd echoed the brand new Charles R. Thompson Gymnasium on Roberts Street as Carlene Wilson dribbled and sliced her way through the lane. Leaping out of the archives was Amber Murray who was on the front-end of the Derek Lands dynasty and busted wide open the bi-district lock on the gate.

Archives showed that a Mrs. J.W. Wheat was the girls' basketball coach in 1924. We know that Jack Hollensed and Arthur Boyle each coached the ladies on two separate occasions.

Peter 2:23-25 - and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls. " "

The most wins for a team was the 30 that was tallied in 1968 under the direction of Boyle with his outstanding players in Dutton, Betty Sue Scott, and Vicki Belden.

Those teams were 59-8 in two seasons but were eliminated by Celina in the bi-district round of

both 1967 and 1968. Coach Raymond Adams had very successful teams in the early 1970s, but despite winning over 20 games, only the district champion made the playoffs. Rules were set up differently in those days with a district tournament following the district schedule.

The rules were changed in the 1980s to allow for two playoff teams and Head Coach Vernon Richardson took clear advantage of the situation when he inherited great players such as Robin Stonebarger, Tania Bement, and later Michelle Haynes. But for whatever reason, none of those great players and great teams could escape the first round of the playoffs.

And then came Lands. In his second season, the Lady Bulldogs became bi-district champions for the first time ever in 2004 and were led by the sophomore Murray.

Since then, the Lady Bulldogs have added many more trophies behind the glass and added more iconic names like Riley Harvey, Jenna Honore, and Ally Harvey to the mix of what one day will be yesteryear.

Howe second graders learn through LEGOS

Howe second grade students showed their LEGO projects to the Howe ISD Board of Trustees on Monday.

Second-grade teacher Alicia Wilson gave a presentation to the Howe ISD Board of Trustees on Monday night along with some of her students which showed how they can use the "toys" to learn to skills.

program was great for problemsolving and making new friends as well as making simples machines and motors. A couple of students displayed an intricate project which was a windmill to generate power.

"What the LEGO program is all visual and problem-solving without instructions," said Wilson.

"This is good for social interaction as well as learning engineering qualities."

Wilson said the students use an app on an iPad that they can upload videos of their projects and interact with their parents and friends about what they are learning because they were not able to take the LEGO projects home.

One student showed the board a lawnmower made of LEGOs with gears and wheels which set off a chain reaction for other gears and connections.

Another student said that the

"With a united effort we can make the place in which we live clean, wholesome, attractive. We can make the crowded city dweller homesick to come back to us and real living. We can bring new life, new business, new beauty, to the little towns." - Mame Roberts

Fobs can be divided into three categories: the simple fob with initials or state seals; fraternal (unions and organizations, including the military); and advertising (proclaiming everything from one's political allegiances to their local bank).

In the advertising category, patriotic and political fobs featured such nationalistic emblems as Miss Liberty, a shamrock, or national crests and flags, as well as campaign slogans and images.

General advertising fobs touted such products as clothing and food. Some collectors focus their collections on fobs that advertised industrial products,

from oil-field equipment and materials to tractors.

The picture shown has a black crystal hanging from the chain, but I also have one that has an Elk’s tooth designating that the owner was a member of the Benevolent Order of the Elks.

Today, watch fobs are still worn for both function and fashion, and they are avidly collected by antique dealers and hobbyists. They are still in use to enhance costumes, to hold stop watches, or for those who are still interested in wearing family heirloom watches and accessories.

The date has been changed for the Auction for the Completion of the Church to May 4 FOUNDERS DAY. What a great way to celebrate the founding of our fair city and the opening of the church for events and celebrations. The auction will take place in the

church instead of the chamber building. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to pay off the final expenses of the restoration.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR WITH THIS FUN EVENT. Georgia Caraway and her friends operate the Howe Mercantile at 107-109 ½ East Haning. Store hours are Thursday through Saturday 12 noon until 8 p.m. All five of Georgia’s Denton history books and her book on taking care of your antiques and collectibles are available at Howe Mercantile.

Texas History Minute Before the Texas Revolution and the annexation debates of the 1830s and 1840s, portions of Texas were briefly considered part of Dr. Ken the United States, Bridges all stemming from the Louisiana Purchase. With the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the United States doubled in size overnight. America had pushed far to the West into the wide expanses of the High Plains and to the frontiers of Texas. The French government was very evasive in what they considered to be the extent of the Louisiana Territory.

The question of whether the United States owned any portion of Texas was ultimately put in the hands of one of America’s top diplomats, John Quincy Adams.

The French connection to Texas dated back into the 1600s. In 1682, French explorer Robert Cavalier, Seuer de la Salle, claimed the entire Mississippi River Valley and all of its tributaries for France. This, by default, included the Red River, stretching to include the entire modern Texas panhandle and the watershed in the counties all along the modern North Texas border with Oklahoma. It also came to include the French claim on the Sabine River and the lands of what is now most of East Texas and the failed colony in Matagorda Bay. John Quincy Adams, born in 1767, was the son of John Adams, the nation’s second president and part of the committee that wrote the Declaration of Independence with Thomas Jefferson. Like his father, he was a skilled attorney and learned the art of diplomacy while his father served as the American ambassador to The Netherlands and later to Great Britain. In 1794, President George Washington appointed Adams as ambassador to The Netherlands, at only the age of 27. Two years later, Washington also named him to double as ambassador to Portugal. He would serve as ambassador to Prussia from 1797 until 1801 before returning to the United States. He became the U. S. Senator from Massachusetts in 1803.

Not long after Adams arrived in Washington, DC, Congress learned about the treaty with France purchasing Louisiana. France had turned the entire area over to Spain after the end of the French and Indian War in 1763. Forty years later, with Spain under control of French leader Napoleon Bonaparte, Spain was forced to give the land back to France. Uncertain what to do with the territory and needing money to finance his wars, Napoleon had his ministers sell the territory to an eager United States for $15 million (or about $335 million in 2019 dollars). There was brief debate over what territory was included with Louisiana, whether France was the rightful owner of

the territory, and whether the federal government had the authority to even purchase the land. Seeing the overwhelming opportunity, the United States Senate, including Adams, voted to approve the treaty by a vote of 266.

Adams had become Secretary of State under President James Monroe in 1817. By 1818, the United States faced a Spain that had regained its independence but was a rapidly weakening power.

Spain faced rebellion in its colonies from Argentina to Mexico. Spain was unable to control Florida, and raids by the Seminoles into the United States had become a contentious issue.

Spanish control in the area included the entire modern state of Florida, but the areas of the Alabama and Mississippi panhandles and the far eastern reaches of Louisiana east of the Mississippi River and north of Lake Pontchartrain had been seized by American settlers in 1810 even though Spain still had legal ownership. Adams entered into negotiations with Spanish Ambassador Luis de Onis to purchase Florida. Spain had rejected earlier offers, but with Spain facing a collapsing position in the Americas and the threat of American military power, Onis reluctantly gave in.

Onis, however, was not willing to give up everything in exchange for nothing. As negotiations continued, Onis pressed for clear border between the U. S. and Spain, a request that Adams was willing to support. As American claims on East Texas were shaky at best, Adams gave ground on claims into the Sabine and Red River Valleys. The Adams-Onis Treaty would acquire East Florida and also set a western border at the Sabine River to the ThirtySecond Parallel and North to the Red River. The border would then run along the Red River to the One-Hundredth Meridian to the Arkansas River and then to the Rocky Mountains and to the Pacific Ocean. The treaty was signed on February 22, 1819.

The treaty was approved by the Senate though there were many expansionists upset by what they saw as the “giveaway” of Texas.

When the subject of annexing the independent Texas arose in the 1830s and 1840s, many supporters loudly called for the “re-annexation” of Texas. The treaty nevertheless gained Florida for the Union and gave East and North Texas its modern boundary. It also gave America a solid claim on the Pacific Ocean as a boundary. Texas would later be admitted, becoming the 28th state admitted into the Union on December 28, 1845.

The dream within us Our destiny is the core of our purpose and constantly urges and drives our responsibility to make sure we are doing everything we can to Dr. Billy accomplish our Holland mission. This divine calling fuels our thoughts and imaginations as we ask God to help keep us going forward and to never give up. Once we discover our vision our goal will not be easy. Dreams and faith go hand in hand. May we also consider that working a temporary job might be necessary in order to support our family while we are developing our skills and waiting for our dream to manifest.

Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” In the study of God, we see that he is articulate and his attributes are infused with a Heavenly order. It has been said that a goal without a plan is just a wish and I’m sure we can agree that success does not happen without a strategy and large amounts of determination and perseverance. Warren Buffett is quoted as saying, “Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”

I remember as a young boy, I loved insects and animals and wanted to become a biologist.

From morning until evening I would catch all types of creatures and then I would read about them.

However, as a teenager, I abandoned my dream and unfortunately became more interested in the social scene than years of academic discipline.

About the same time, I was given an opportunity to learn how to play the guitar and discovered that I loved to sing and write Christian music. After I was married, I still enjoyed writing and performing my own songs, but now I had a family and was responsible for making money to support them. I was blessed to have a good paying job, but it was a profession that I absolutely had no interest

in. In fact, for a while, there was a dark cloud of disappointment and frustration hanging over my head as I felt that I was not following my spiritual blueprint and being hindered from utilizing my potential.

So, after seeking the answers to my questions through many prayers and tears, the Lord lovingly helped me find my mission along with the peace and contentment I had been searching for. I accepted my job as a way to take care of our financial obligations while also working diligently in what I was passionate about at the same time. I would rise early to go to work and when I came home, I would spend as many hours as possible studying the Bible, writing, teaching, and recording music. I eventually graduated from Seminary and became an ordained minister, certified chaplain, and a Christian author. Has it been a hard road? Absolutely! Especially when very few are interested in what you are doing. So, was becoming a biologist a part of my spiritual blueprint and I made the choice to walk away or was it only something that was fun and the Lord graciously steered me into the correct destiny he planned for me? Now that I look back on my life, the ministry has been challenging, but by His grace, I’m confident for the most part that I am following his plan.

When seeking direction, one of the most important considerations is to not allow anything to quench the excitement and zeal that God has placed within us. You and I have a definite and specific purpose and it’s critical to protect and defend our mission from the dream killers.

We’ve been given angels, the Holy Spirit, God’s Word, and of course, Jesus himself who is ready and willing to help us and empower us to do our Father’s will. Yes, there may be times when you might need to walk around the block and encourage yourself with scriptures, positive confessions, and quotes from those who can motivate and inspire you.

And when we choose to obey God’s voice, we might as well be prepared to face adversity as there will be times of severe spiritual attacks, weeping, heart-aches, and intense soul-searching. Nonetheless, just remember you are following God’s

mandate and he is the highest authority and nothing is impossible with him! If your calling only encourages one person, in God’s perspective you are truly a tremendous success!

It’s not about what we can do, it’s about being determined to obey what he is telling us to do.

Amber waves of grain making a comeback Members from the Grayson County Master Gardeners met for a field trip on a mild sunny day last November at the Austin College’s Sneed Prairie Restoration project.

It is a warm-season grass with rich gold-and-purple sprays of flowers and seeds in the fall. The bright yellow flowers contrast attractively with the blue-gray foliage. The grass stays low most of the year and then gets tall before blooming in early autumn. Like Little Bluestem, Indiangrass is best planted en masse or in a wildflower meadow. Its deer resistance is high, it provides seeds for birds, and it is a larval host to the Pepper-and-Salt Skipper butterfly.

Should I pay off my car loan early?

Hey Taylor - I have a car loan that I’m financially ready to pay off, but wondering if it’s a smarter decision to keep it around a little longer. Will paying off the remaining Taylor Kovar $10,000 right now hurt my credit, or help? - Veronica Hey Veronica - I’m glad you’re asking this question. I feel like people get misadvised with how loan repayment can affect your credit score. There’s also a big difference between “hurting” your credit and “not helping” it. Here are three things to consider in a situation like yours.

your specific situation needs to inform your decision.

How are your finances? I almost always encourage people to pay down debt as fast as possible.

The longer you take, the more you pay in interest and the less you have to invest in your future.

Now, sometimes it makes sense to pay a little extra for improved credit, but there are other methods that could cost you less.

You might be better served to take care of the entire car loan and then consistently use and pay down a credit card. If you don’t have an immediate need for an improved credit score, you should definitely take the action that saves you the most money, which would be paying off your car loan ASAP. Making timely payments and staying out of debt is always a good thing. Sometimes there are ways to prolong repayment and boost your credit score a bit more, but you’re almost always better off paying quickly and saving yourself money. Hope this helps, Veronica!

How’s your credit history? This is where people get misled. The more records you have of steadily repaying lenders, the better your credit score will be. When you open a new credit card or take out a new loan, your credit tends to take a minor hit and then recovers as you make payments.

Living with children A friend of mine named Scott shared an absolutely brilliant thought with me when I dropped in on him unannounced at his workplace, a bank, the other day.

I’m not the person to ask that question. I’ve been to Disney World four times: once with my own kids when they were young; twice with grandchildren; and once with another adult couple. I’ve had a genuinely good time at Disney World once. Guess which trip the “once” was. Right! But seriously, I’m not – and neither would Scott – saying that parents or grandparents should never have fun with their kids/grandkids.

John Rosemond Everyone thinks We’re referring to parents who all I want to talk about is parenting, avoid entirely the responsibilities like, you know, police only want to of parenthood by trying to turn it talk about the arrests they’ve made into something it is not: to wit, a friendship. and surgeons only want to talk about operations they’ve performed When you avoid responsibility for and coroners only want to talk about autopsies they’ve done. So, I something for which you are, in drop in on Scott, just to chat, and he fact, responsible, you are being irresponsible. So, Scott and I are starts in on the only topic I don’t indeed saying that trying to be particularly want to talk about, your child’s friend is irresponsible. naturally.

In that he is not yet well-behaved the course of almost putting me to sleep, Scott suddenly wakes me up enough to go to Disney World or by telling me he has a theory about even the local petting zoo. parents.

I wrote a similar column years ago, “You probably won’t think much of by the way. In it, I coined the term “McParenting.” It’s what instantit,” he says, “being the expert and gratification-oriented parents do. all.”

They take the easy way out of “It’s probably brilliant,” I say, and everything concerning their kids, including trying to be their best it was. buds. The opposite of McParenting is Real-Life Parenting Done By Scott has figured out – on his own but remember he’s been reading my People Who Raise Children Who column for more than twenty years May Not Realize Until They Are now, so I feel entitled to take some On Their Own That They Were Raised Well And Call You One credit – that the reason so many parents these days want to be their Day And Thank You. children’s best friends is because That’s the prize. Go for it! we live in an instant-gratification culture and the attempt to be your child’s friend is very likely to bring Family psychologist John Rosemond: johnrosemond.com, instant gratification, as in: (a) the parent puts energy into trying to be parentguru.com. a friend, (b) the child likes having an adult friend more than he does or John Rosemond has worked with would having an adult who families, children, and parents accepted the sometimes onerous since 1971 in the field of family responsibilities of being an psychology.

Brilliant! Remember, this was Scott’s idea, but he wants to remain anonymous. Indeed, when done properly by properly-thinking people, parenting is not likely to bring instant gratification. Raising a child out of narcissistic incivility into responsible, compassionate adulthood is, after all, a slog that requires of parents that they sometimes do what they would rather not do, like administer punitive discipline.
