Howe Auto Care to open soon Principals discuss challenges in different environment in 2020

We are the silent majority. We get no air time. We don’t burn things down or tear things up. We go to work and support our families. We love America. We want to protect the unborn. We salute the flag. We sing “The Star Spangled Banner.” We respect law enforcement and obey the law. We appreciate the military. We are the very backbone of this country. We believe all lives matter because that is what we learned from reading the Bible. We treat everyone with respect no matter what color their skin is. But we are invisible, until we vote. And you can bet that come November we will be heard. It will be deafening. God Bless America. Shared from a friend. *****

The start time is 10 am and everyone is invited to participate in their tractor, jeep, pickup, or motorcycle. The parade will also honor first responders, veterans and healthcare workers.

The building once known as Frantz Repair Service received a new paint job as the auto repair and service business will open soon.

Howe Auto Care is soon to open at 120 N. Collins Freeway in Howe. The owner Moss Yousif says it will be an automotive repair facility and a general mechanic shop that will do everything from tires, oil changes to alignments and any other needs. “We want to be a one stop shop and we want to be good neighbors,” said Yousif. “You can probably see we’ve made a difference already in cleaning that place up.”

This is not the only location for the ownership group as they have locations throughout the Dallas area including Garland, Mesquite, Farmers Branch, Princeton, and others. As soon as the city receives their Certificate of Occupancy, they’re ready to open their doors. “We thank you all in advance for allowing us to come to Howe and we’re looking forward growing with you all,” said Yousif.

Principals of each campus spoke to the school board to give them an idea of how the first few weeks have gone under the new state guidelines regarding COVID-19 procedures. “The kids have done a good job. I want to brag on them about wearing their mask,” said Middle School Principal Clay Wilson. “Some of them let their nose stick out, but we remind them, and they’ve really done a good job with that. They know the expectations.” Wilson also discussed plastic covers for keyboards in technology classrooms and seat skipping markers in the cafeteria.

The Pottsboro Cardinals (3 -1, 1-0) continued their dominance over Howe (04, 0-1) with the most lopsided score in the 48-year history of the series. Howe

amassed a total of eight yards of offense and had one first down on the night which was gained through a Pottsboro penalty. The Dogs rushed 16 times for

High School Principal Phil Kempson said they changed from two lunches to three lunches for crowding purposes. Four students per table are allowed for lunch and breakfast. “Once those four chairs fill up at each table, we release them for class,” said Kempson. “That creates more time in the classroom with the teachers which

puts another burden on them as far as planning, but they’re really taking up the slack.” HHS has also staggered their times for bus riders and car riders for crowd purposes. Kempson said desks are being sanitized throughout the day by students as well as custodians with spray guns cleaning throughout the campus. Intermediate Principal Mike Segleski said they have placed a bulletin board at the entrance displaying proper procedures regarding washing hands, covering their mouth when they cough, etc. They’ve also placed arrows throughout the hallways similar to driving patterns. “If you’re on the right, you stay on the right side of the wall either way you’re going,” said Segleski. “We just try to stay in lines as far apart as we can with social distancing in the hallways instead of everyone jumbled up.” The intermediate school has also initiated different (Continued on page 2)
