Howe suffers first district loss to Rains, 55-28

All we've heard our entire lives are that politicians are crooks. They line their pockets with bribes and make empty promises to the general public. The battle cry forever has been to get a non-politician, a businessman per se, to clean things up and run the country like a business - a clean business that might even balance the books and make great decisions based upon the greater interest of the people and not their own pockets. It appears that the public finally did so in 2016 and elected a businessman to clean up corruption and do all the things we've said we wanted. The problem is that the corrupted pocketliners had more power than we thought. They've used their power and money (stolen from us) to enrich themselves greater and place themselves in a situation where they control the media, Hollywood, and all things communication.

A second term for the current President would result in perhaps military tribunals of former government officials all the way to the top. It'll make the O.J.

The effects of Howe (2-4; 1-1) being the fifth smallest 3A-Division I school reared its ugly head Friday night at Bulldog Stadium as Rains (3-3; 1-1), one of the largest schools with an enrollment advantage of 134 students (roughly 34 more junior and senior boys), romped their way to a 55-28 win over Howe who had eight players starting on both sides of the ball whereas the Wildcats had nine players getting refreshed each time the ball flipped sides.

Separated valve leaves citizens without water for a few hours on Thursday

At 10:30 am on Thursday October 3, the City of Howe Public Works crew was excavating a minor leak on west FM 902 of a two inch air relief valve that was directly tapped to an eight inch water main. During excavation, the valve began to separate from the water main due to pressure, a temporary repair was made so that services to the school wouldn’t be interrupted during school hours. The separated line is one that connects one of three water wells directly to the city’s water distribution system and supplies water service to Summit Hill Elementary School.

At 4:00 pm the public works crew resumed excavation and repairs of the eight inch water main and air relief valve.

Later at approximately 6:00 pm a section of the eight inch water main was shutdown to make the necessary and proper repairs needed, affecting pressure in areas of the city including Summit Hill Subdivision, Summit Hill Elementary, W. FM 902, Timbercreek Dr., Pioneer Valley and Smith Road.

Repairs were completed and water service was restored by 8:00 pm.

Citizens received notice through CodeRed of the interruption by phone call and email. Citizens can sign up for CodeRed messages by visiting cityofhowe.org.
