Storms knocked out all electronics at local dentistry

One thing that is a bit tiresome is other local news companies continually sharing stories on social media to only get clicks.

Why in the world would a local paper share a Houston story in North Texas other than to clickbait (new verb) their audience. Let's take one that popped up Friday from the Herald Democrat's Facebook site. Headline: "Texas pastor who wanted abortion criminalized charged with child sex abuse." Now, it's obvious from the outset that this guy is a pretty low-life dude. But let's look at the headline to see if it is designed to stir the rubbernecker in all of us.

"Texas pastor" - prominent person; "wanted abortion criminalized" - stokes emotion in a lot of people; "charged" - rubberneck!!!!; "with child sex abuse" - ding ding ding! Operation clickbait complete!

Now...what in the world does this have to do with anything in Grayson County? Now it would be unfair to only mention the Herald Democrat, er uh Texas Tribune Democrat because the local TV stations may be even worse. KXII has become a sanctuary news home. There's plenty of wild clickbait stories produced by our favorite wheels-off city of Ardmore that KTEN hangs their hat on. What these news companies are looking for is emotions to make you click.

One month ago, May 16, the Howe Quick Check was broken into and intruders got away with over 50 cartons of cigarettes. Early this morning, the store was once again breached and this time around 25 cartons were believed to be stolen.

The individuals were captured on security footage each time and are

believed to be the same individuals in both robberies.

The store, at 411 W. Haning Street, was again closed at the time of the burglary and no one was injured or threatened.

The Howe Police Department were called to the scene early to begin an investigation.

Howe concerned about the direction of municipal dollars for state-funded projects

TxDOT snapshot of traffic on Wednesday afternoon at southbound Shepherd Rd. Grayson County Judge Bill Magers recently told the Herald Democrat that his goal is to have a six-lane, divided highway from the southern Grayson County line to US Highway 82 within six years. He expects cities to contribute with matching funds. https://www.txfb-ins.com/insurance/agent/Grayson/23242/LorettaAnderson

Howe has the lowest sales tax revenue along the US Highway 75/I45 for a stretch of 106 miles.

One would have to travel to Garrett, Texas (25 miles north of Corsicana population of 847) to find a city along that corridor with a lower sales tax revenue. In 2018, Howe collected $351,718 in sales tax receipts with each city going south collecting more until reaching Garrett who collected $128,103. Over the past ten years, Howe has received $2,669,219, with Palmer (next town north of Garrett) collecting 2,364,250.

The concern for Howe is the matching funds that the ShermanDenison Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) are suggesting from each city. With city-funded streets in Howe needing attention, taxpayers could make a strong argument that the City of Howe paying matching funds for an additional two lanes on the state-funded highway is not money well spent while the overlooking Duke Street is need of great repair or even reconstruction.

While the expansion of US Highway 75 to six lanes would help the goal of the MPO to become I-45, it is rarely reported Southbound 75 2018 Sales Tax

that Collin County representatives have no intentions of turning US 75 to interstate standards. The benefits to Howe of six lanes would only be if the exit and entrance ramps were improved to help potential commercial property along the highway. The City of Sherman and the Sherman Economic Development Corporation have recently partnered to pay for a $2.3 million ramp reversal to TxDOT at FM 1417 in order to commercially develop the US 75/FM 1417. That figure is approximately one month of sales tax receipts for the City of Sherman.

“The ramp improvement project at FM 1417 will be vital for the development of Legacy Village,” Sherman Community and Support Services Manager Nate Strauch said via email to the Herald Democrat in December 2018.

The City of Denison recently paid $4.77 million to TxDOT for a northbound ramp reversal to improve their commercial activity.

"These municipalities with tremendous revenues keep paying TxDOT for upgrades and it makes it more and more difficult for small cities with small revenues to get traction for needed projects," said City of Howe Director of Economic Development Monte Walker. "They are now expecting at least matching funds from cities on state-funded projects. It's a bad direction for all small cities on any corridor."

The Howe 14U Bulldogs. Pictured are (L-R front row) Braden Ulmer, Hunter Hance. Standing Head Coach Steve Hance, Garrett Gibbs, Kade Murphy, Mahlon Walker, Coach Jason Montgomery, Matt Hayes, Cooper Jones, Logan Duty, Zeb Montgomery, Landin Duty, Kolin Murphy, and Coach Monte Walker.

The Howe Bulldogs 14U All-Stars were the youngest team in the tournament with only three players that were 14-years-old. The team featured three players that will still have two years of 14U eligibility remaining. Braden Ulmer, Logan Duty, and Mahlon Walker had not reached the age of 13 yet but were all key components of this year's Howe All-Star team.

Howe scored twice in the first inning against Pottsboro when Ulmer singled and was driven home on a Matt Hayes triple.

Hayes came home on Walker's grounder the next at-bat.

Matt Hayes had eight strikeouts through four innings of work allowing only one run.

Meanwhile, Howe added two more runs in the third inning with Logan Duty leading off with a walk and came home on a Hunter Hance triple. Hance later scored on a Walker single for his second RBI of the game.

Howe's final run came in the fourth inning when Zeb Montgomery singled and came home on a Garrett Gibbs groundball.

Pottsboro rallied for five runs in the fifth inning to take a 6-5 lead.

With time expired, Howe had one last chance in the bottom of the sixth. Walker led off the inning with a single, advanced to second a steal, and had to hold up at third on a double hit high by Cooper

Jones. With runners at second and third with no one out, Pottsboro was able to get three straight strikeouts to end the game.

Howe then played Whitesboro where Ulmer pitched a gem allowing only two runs in four innings of work.

Howe collected 13 hits with Jones collecting three of them. Ulmer, Hayes, and Landin Duty each had two hits. Montgomery had an inside-the-park homer to spark the Dogs in the fifth inning. Howe finished with a 15-2 win.

Hayes got the start against Collinsville and went three innings allowing four runs. Hance came in to relieve and gave up three runs.

Howe scored two runs total, both coming in the fourth inning when Ulmer singled and was driven home on a Jones triple. Walker then drove in Jones on a grounder.

The Howe boys played outstanding defense throughout the tournament with highlight plays by Hayes, Ulmer, and Gibbs. Steady defenders were Kade and Kolin Murphy.

Bells won the tournament against Collinsville. Both will advance to the state tournament.

No one worked harder than Jason Montgomery and Steve Hance this weekend making the tournament possible. Numerous volunteers helped all weekend long. Thanks also to Charles Haley for the smoked pork sandwiches to sell. HYB raised over $680 after expenses.

Coach hired

Continued from page 1

best high school basketball coaches in the sport's history.

Carlisle finished his long career with 1,103 career wins (fourthhighest win total) over 41 seasons between Louisiana and Texas.

During his 14-year tenure at Clarksville, Carlisle won 12 district titles, and two state championships (1995, 1998) and once had an 87-game winning streak.

He says the offense will be a hybrid spread, pro-I-formation type of offense that is no-huddle and fast-paced.

"All of my main knowledge and things that I use comes from my high school background," said Lynch. "We lost five basketball games in my high school basketball career and two of those were playoff games. I came out of high school knowing more about basketball than anything else, even though I played quarterback in football. We just had a great system."

"I was told by my uncle who was the head coach and athletic director in China Springs that I was coming to work for him," said Lynch. "I had no plans to leave Southlake Carroll. He called me and told me he needed me to meet the superintendent. I said, 'I didn't know I was looking for a job.'"

Lynch coached basketball at every coaching stop until 2013.

He says that his style of basketball will be "football on the hardwood" as he believes in physicality and hustle are the two key elements in a good basketball team.

"There's going to be a lot that the opponent is going to have to prepare for. There's going to be a lot of looks," said Lynch. "We're not going to be in the same defense every time down the court."

Lynch will take over the offense this year that scored 15.8 points per game and is coming off the lowest yardage single-game output in school history (24 total yards against rival Van Alstyne in the season finale).

"I do some things a little bit different than a lot of people do," said Lynch. "I get into different personnel sets without changing personnel. It can be wing-T one play and five-wide the next play."

He received both his undergraduate and masters degrees at Texas A&M Commerce and landed his first coaching/teaching job at Palmer ISD. From there he went to Southlake Carroll for a short stint.

From China Springs, he came to Howe for a year as the offensive coordinator for the team that went 1-9 and scored 13.70 points per game. The Bulldogs actually improved that year by nearly a full touchdown per game as Howe averaged 7.4 points per game the year prior in the 2004 season.

Jehling is excited to have Lynch on his staff as he's been trying to hire him for several years going back to his time in Cushing.

"I tried getting him to come last year, but we wanted to stay in the wing-T, slot-T mentality so he went to Tatum," said Jehling. "So this year with us changing, I called him and said we're handing it to you."

Jehling always felt like he would want to hire Lynch as an offensive coordinator when they were coaching JV games at Richardson Pearce.

"He called the offense and I called the defense and there were times he'd come to me and I'd say, 'listen, I need you to take about six minutes off the clock. And he burned about nine minutes and scored.' I thought this was awesome."

Jehling said that with the skill kids Howe has, he felt they had to get the ball out in space and said Lynch recognized that right away when he came to visit and watch the kids out on the field.

While Howe seems destined to

Page #5 throw the ball more this fall, a year ago, Lynch while at Tatum put up 2,716 rushing yards and 39 touchdowns while passing for 1,785 yards and 15 touchdowns. A year ago, Howe rushed for 1910 yards and passed for 253 total yards.

Those that have been following Howe football from the middle school level up understand that Howe is about to start filtering talented players through the system and both Jehling and Lynch were not hesitant about bringing some of the freshmen up to play on Friday night. Those freshmen candidates are fullback Carson Daniels, lineman Matthew Bearden, quarterback Austin Haley, and receiver Ryan Hough.

A year from now could see another three or four freshmen hit the Friday night lights.

"I'm so excited for the future here, but I'm excited right now for 2019," said Jehling.

Lynch will be here full-time shortly upon getting moved to the area. He will bring his fiance Brooke with three children including two twin sisters Brynlie and Briley and a son Brayden.

They will be in elementary school.

"The wins didn't come but we had quite a big turnaround offensively," said Lynch. "I probably knew 40 percent of what I know now from a football perspective."

From Howe, he spent six years at Richardson Pearce where he met now-Bulldog Head Coach Bill Jehling.

At Pearce, he was the offensive line coach before taking the offensive coordinator job at Magnolia West for two years, Mineral Wells for two years and most recently Tatum for a year.

Over the course of the last five years as an offensive coordinator, his teams have averaged 41.7 points per game.

An eighth-grade handoff a year ago from Austin Haley to Carson Daniels could be a varsity handoff between the two this fall.

Emergency Alert System in Howe SECONDS COUNT IN AN EMERGENCY! That's why the City of Howe has instituted the CodeRED Emergency Notification System - an ultra high-speed telephone communication service for emergency notifications. This system allows us to telephone all or targeted areas in case of an emergency situation that requires immediate action (such as a boil-water notice, missing child or evacuation notices). The system is capable of dialing 60,000 phone numbers per hour. It then delivers a pre-recorded message describing the situations to a live person or an answering machine in the affected area possibly including instructions requiring action on the part of the recipient. Once the situation is remedied, another call will be placed to the area signaling that the issue has been addressed and that normal activities can be resumed.

The following information is required to add a telephone number into the "CodeRED" database: first and last name; address (physical address, no P.O. boxes); city; state; Zip Code; and primary phone number. The system works with cellular phones but requires a valid street address. When entering information, please fill out all of the screens because the newest data entered will replace the old data.

Texas History Minute The next year, she moved to Denver to write for the Rocky Mountain News. But 1918 was also the year of the Spanish Flu Epidemic. More than 500,000 Americans died from the flu that year, including Porter. After her recovery, she spent most of the next decade travelling, living mostly in Mexico and New York City. Her first published short story, “Maria Concepcion,” (1922) was inspired by her experiences in Mexico.

Katherine Anne Porter was one of the most noted of Texas novelists.

Her career spanned decades, and though her output was Dr. Ken limited, it had a Bridges profound impact on many aspiring writers from the 1930s through the 1970s.

She was born Callie Russel Porter in May 1890 in Indian Creek, a small, unincorporated community in Brown County in Central Texas.

Her father was a cousin to Texas writer William Sydney Porter, better known by his pen name O. Henry. Brown County also happened to be the home of noted western and horror novelist Robert E. Howard. Porter was the fourth of five children, but tragedy followed her for much of her early life. An older brother had died while still an infant. When she was two, her mother died shortly after giving birth to her youngest sister.

She married three and divorced three more times between 1926 and 1942. As talented as she was, she found writing very frustrating. She once said, “I have written and destroyed manuscripts quite literally by the trunkful. I spent fifteen years wandering about, weighted horribly by masses of paper and little else.”

She published a widely acclaimed and influential collection of short stories in 1930, “Flowering Judas and Other Stories.”

Among her most famous story was the award-winning “Pale Distraught and left with four young Horse, Pale Rider” (1939). This was a collection of three novellas children to raise, Harrison Porter took his children and moved in with which took place during the 1918 his mother, Catherine Anne Porter. flu pandemic, inspired by her own The family spent the next few years illness. The story was adapted living in the modest house in Kyle, into several television movies in the 1950s and 1960s. This was a small community just south of Austin. From a young age in Kyle, followed up by another short story collection, “The Leaning Tower” she began writing stories. The (1944). future writer became very close to her grandmother in those years.

Afterward, world, writing essays for The Nation and The New Republic her father moved the family and writing short stories.

Our greatest honor and privilege When we are truly in love with someone, nothing can keep us from them. It sounds like the beginning of a beautiful romantic love story doesn't it?

Dr. Billy Actually, it is a Holland love story, but its between us and God. The Lord is inviting us today to spend more time with him and to fall in love with him so deeply that nothing in this world can interfere with this bond of holy intimacy. We can be as close to God as we want and be filled with His Spirit with a constant awareness of his presence if we choose him as the love of our life. If this is what you are seeking today, then you have found the meaning and purpose of your existence. Our free-will decision to refuse is the only obstacle that can prevent us from becoming what Jesus died for us to be.

Our nature comes fully equipped with the ability to be infatuated and controlled with whatever we love and is more than willing to bow down to whatever is our highest priority. We usually deny that we are our own king, which helps to explain why we rarely consider the fact that idolatry has more to do with the one we see in the mirror than an external influence or master. God will compel but does not force anyone to worship him and according to his truth, the dark side also abides by the same principles. In other words, you and I are constantly being influenced and choosing whom we will serve and obey every moment.

The more that God is on our mind the more we will become like him. When all is said and done, and we stand before his throne, the amount of our conscience we allowed him to occupy will reveal what meant the most to us. We realize it’s difficult to serve and worship someone we cannot see, and our carnal desires hates the idea of submitting to anything that interferes with our independence.

The Christian life includes having a passion to be with Jesus every moment and if we do not have this, somewhere we have drifted away.

As we draw nearer to him, he will open our spiritual eyes and allow us to see and know His plans. Our attitude exposes the vast difference between living in a default religious experience or becoming a sincere follower of Christ. The question for all of us is how much of God do we want and how desperate are we to know him?

The school of Christian living is our daily classroom and within our prayers should be the request to understand what we are learning.

Without wisdom, knowledge is just a collection of facts, and in the Christian journey it’s not how much we know, but how much we apply.

We love and worship God not because of what he can do or how much he will give, but simply because we are infatuated with who he is. Our joy overflows when we meditate about his love, as our broken and contrite heart releases a sweet-smelling aroma in the beauty of his holiness. It is with trusting innocence that we can snuggle into the lap of our loving heavenly Father, where we are content as he places his arms around us and gently holds us and gives us his peace that passes all understanding. In the essence of his glory we become supernaturally entwined with the creator and ruler of the universe who longs to mold us as soft clay on the potter’s wheel. This miracle of transformation can happen when we sincerely abandon our old nature and embrace him as the Lord of our destiny. Only then can our life finally begin its humble decent so that Christ can increase and be manifested within us. If we want more of God, we must choose to deliberately pursue him. Spending time with him allows us to know Him personally and to learn more about our calling. When he becomes the focus of our purpose, the awareness of His presence will become as natural as breathing. To know God is the meaning of our existence, to worship him is our most precious gift, and to love him is our greatest honor and privilege. “Then you will call upon me and go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

And you will seek me and find me, your heart” Jeremiah 29:12-13. when you search for me with all

Living with children Q: We have two married daughters, one of whom is adopted. The biological daughter has two children who, we recently discovered, have been told that it John Rosemond is wrong to call our adopted daughter “aunt so-and-so” because she is not really family. Nor, according to our biological daughter and son-in-law, is her husband an “uncle.” We’re planning an upcoming visit with our biological daughter’s family.

How should we deal with this?

wager that this “mistake” is the upshot of long-standing jealousy on the part of your biological daughter.

Let’s face it, a disproportionate amount of attention goes to a new sibling when he or she enters a family – whether by adoption or birth. If, as I suspect from the wording of your question, your biological daughter is your first child, she may not have exactly welcomed her adopted sister with open arms. Instead, she may have felt displaced, deprived of attention that she felt “belonged” to her, and harbored a good amount of resentment as a result.

To put this another way, she may have long felt that “biological” is a synonym for “real.”

A: Forty-three years of writing Assuming I am correct, there is a volcano smoldering beneath this this weekly column and I thought issue. I doubt there is a way of I’d heard it all…until now. correcting what your grandchildren First – and I really don’t need to tell have been told without uncapping you this, obviously – your adopted the volcano.

That, relatively asserting that she is your only child, speaking, is the easy part. The said challenge would not succeed in emotional aspect is the tar pit. In a court of law. In other words, the my estimation, a reasonably sane discussion and resolution of the terms “adopted” and “biological” are simply adjectives. That, by the pertinent issues is going to require way, is straight from the so-called mediation by a very experienced “horse’s mouth,” the horse in this family therapist. case being a federal judge.
