Much similar to the Event 201 exercise that was held in to prepare for a coronavirus pandemic in the fall of 2019, moments before a coronavirus pandemic, the World Economic Forum Managing Director Jeremy Jurgens made statements last July that there will be another crisis which will be more significant. He said it will be faster than COVID and the impact will be greater and the economic and social impacts would be greater. The founder of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, warned about a comprehensive cyber attack which would bring a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, and hospital service.

“COVID-19 would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyber attack—to use COVID-19 crisis as a timely opportunity to reflect on the lessons to cyber security, community, and improve our preparedness for a future cyber pandemic,” said Schwab.

ed of Ridley Carter, David Grant, Will Ingram, Kolby McNutt, Anthony Lowder, Braden Ulmer, Beau Stephens, Rodey Fincher, Parker Daniels, Rylan Strong, Gage Owen, and Triston Williams.

Howe started quickly in game one versus De Kalb when Ulmer it a 2 -run double in the first inning.

Lowder got the start on the mound and threw 28 pitches in the first inning allowing four runs.

After facing a pitch limit, Lowder was relieved in the second inning

by Kolby McNutt. A defensive highlight took place with Strong caught a pop fly in center and doubled up the runner at third base with a strike throw to Ingram. Stephens also caught a pop fly to end the inning, but De Kalb was able to leave with a 7-2 win.

In the second game, Howe took on Shepherd which saw a 0-0 end to the first inning. Strong singled to the fence, but was unable to get a run home. Ulmer got the start

on the mound and threw 13 pitches. Shepherd came up with three runs with a homer. Time expired in the third inning with Shepherd taking a 6-0 win.

Howe faced Bonham and the offense got rolling with an Ulmer single and a McNutt triple to give Howe a 1-0 lead after the first.

Ulmer began the game on the mound and Howe’s defense turned a 2-3-5 double play off of a dropped third strike (Stephens to Ingram to McNutt). Strong hit a fielder’s choice to third, but errors landed Stephens at the plate.

After 42 pitches, Ulmer was replaced on the mound by McNutt.

Defensive miscues allowed two unearned runs to tie the game at 2 -2 in the bottom of the third.

Lowder then replaced McNutt on the mound after 22 pitches and two more runs came in to score.

In the bottom of the fourth, Lowder induced a 1-4-3 double play on a bouncer back to the mound. He allowed no runs in the inning, but the game ended with the Bulldogs on the short side of a 4-2 score.

Don’t get us wrong, we are 100 percent on board with progress in our town. Our churches on all corners of the city signify our values of being most welcoming to any and all. But one of the great virtues of Howe, Texas is that the local news publication is still filled with headlines of all-star tournaments, new coaches, chamber events, city council progress, and every once in a while a blurb about an anniversary, or a milestone achievement by someone in town. Don’t take Howe for granted.

Howe is one of last Mayberrys in America located on a US Highway. People come here because they want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Metroplex. It’s close enough to drive to work there, but far enough away that they can place their children in a school that they can trust to be ethically sound.

One can quickly make a judgment

about a school and its ethical value system by peering into its superintendent and all of its campus principals. By that standard, Howe’s value system is positively off the charts. In Howe, CRT doesn’t stand for Critical Race Theory as much as it perhaps stands for Crazy Redneck Teenagers. Don’t take Howe for granted.

Kids of all generations have said they can’t wait to get out of Mayberry. But many of them return home or a Mayberry-like city when they have children of their own.

The small town has its obvious challenges and those typically come by means of funding, or lack thereof, for infrastructure and the absence of amenities that larger cities offer. The water bills are too high, and the average household income is too low, but there are lots of things to be grateful for.

While we want to and are trying to grow our own commercial base

and defensive end for Maryland legendary high school football coach John Harvill. He then played for Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania (60 miles north of Pittsburg) where he played defensive end. At Grove City, one of his coaches was former Pittsburg Steelers offensive lineman Jon Kolb who brought the 3-4 Steeler defense to Grove City.

“We were just stunting and bringing pressure from everywhere,” said Furgeson. “That’s why I like that defense. But that was not in the age of the spread (offense).”

After college, Furgeson wanted out of the Pittsburg area due to the cold weather and wanted to travel abroad. He took a job with an internet company that led him to Germany where he worked for five months which satisfied his traveling bug.

A couple of years later, he found himself wanting to get into coaching and landed a position coaching high school football in Bethesda, Maryland at Walt Whitman High while working for his church. In Maryland, coaches do not have to be employed by the school district. He served as defensive line and running backs coach.

After three years at Whitman, he decided to leave and coached one year at his old high school in Gaithersburg with his brother.

Then in 2006 he wanted to coach in college and became a graduate assistant at Carson-Newman University, a private Baptist university in Jefferson City, Tennessee.

While there, he coached under the late Ken Sparks whose career winning percentage of .7699 is the fourth highest in college football history and his 338 victories amount to the fifth best total nationally.

Furgeson obtained his master’s in education while at CarsonNewman but left in 2008 to come to Texas due to his former wife being from Dallas. Without his teaching certificate, he began teaching and coaching at a private school, Grace Community

School, in Tyler where he stayed for two years.

Still wanting to be closer to Dallas, he took a job at Richardson Pearce under Head Coach Randy Robertson where he’s been for the last 10 years where he coached football until he became the head wrestling coach five years ago.

But he says he’s ready to get back into it.

“Both my parents are from small towns, and I used to go back and visit, and I love small towns,” said Furgeson. “It’s who I am deep down, and it’s been a dream of mine to go to a small town and win some football games for sure.”

Furgeson says his role will be on the defensive side of the ball supporting Head Coach Bill Jehling and the athletes.

“I know last year was a tough season and there’s a motivation that each community has, and each high school is different,” says Furgeson. “How to motivate and tap into it is going to be different and I’m figuring that out now. My role is to develop within the community a spirit of love to compete and love to win. Success isn’t always winning; it’s developing these young men into positive citizens of Howe and Texas and of this country.”

Furgeson says that what he’s learned in 14 years of coaching is that if you develop the character of a student athlete, that should go into the win column.

He says feels the Howe athletes right now lack confidence due to the recent struggles as the smallest 3A-1 school competing against much larger schools.

“They need to have some success and with wins comes confidence,” said Furgeson. “I know that hard work and effort will breed success. Whether we come close to beating Mount Vernon—when we smack people in the mouth, they’ll say, ‘okay there’s something different this year about this team.’ Closing the gap—that’s how I will see success this year.

Howe’s sales tax shows 5.97 percent increase over last July Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced recently he will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts $893.2 million in local sales tax allocations for July, 20 percent more than the prior year.

Howe

The word cloud results from a survey question to the community.

The question was: What would you like Howe to be in the next 5-10 years? From The City of Howe Economic Development Office.

(Continued from page 3)

to serve our citizens’ needs by means of groceries and local jobs, we do live within a skipping rock of most everything we need. We have our own well-operated police force to protect the citizens, a local bank, community library, and fire protection just to name a few.

There’s a fight for our Mayberry as housing developers have the US Highway 75 corridor clearly in their scopes. But this community, just as every community, is directed by its citizens—given that the citizens are involved and active. Citizens must take ownership because it is their right to do so. In our republic form of government in this country, leaders should be elected by the people to represent their common goals for the future they want. But this means, some citizens must also become those representatives, not just social media opinion masters.

Developers don’t get to have the final say over the people. But they will if the people of the community allow them to. That has happened to a number of cities south of us and the results have seen a push north by people seeking what we have. Don’t take Howe for granted.

For some reason, citizens are far

more likely to voice their scrimmage opinion by responding to an online survey on Facebook than to actually voice their in-game opinion at the polls to vote for city leaders, but that’s for another column on another slow news week.

With that in mind, the City of Howe’s Economic Development department has sent several questionnaires to the citizens over the years to get a feel of what community members think Howe should over the next several years.

The results are very clearly the same each time. The citizens want to remain with the small town-feel with controlled growth and more economic advantages and commercial opportunities.

They don’t want “cookie-cutter neighborhoods” with zero lot lines.

Can a city like Howe retain its small-town values over the next 20-50 years? Odds are squarely against it with the location that we reside upon. But the citizens can and should have a say. However, they must get it together immediately and get active and involved.

Apathy leads to destruction.

There really are two directions to go for the future and the models are just a few miles south of us.

Howe can become Allen. Or Howe can become Lucas. Those

two cities are just about fully matured, and each decided to go in completely different direction.

Lucas has taken the chip seal approach of country life with small town values and their school— Lovejoy ISD has become one of the most respected districts in the area. They said no to delivering a wastewater plant and mapped out their city and instead have instituted 1-acre lot developments with septic systems. They offer water, trash, recycling, field and facility rentals as part of their services. Home developers cringe at

the name Lucas because that model cuts steeply into their bottom line for there is only so much property and no more is being created.

The City of Allen is married to their master housing development plans which will never again have a heritage country feel to it. That is gone forever. A piece of land that contains 16 homes in Lucas sees same square footage of dirt in Allen containing 69 homes—a mere 2,500 feet away from each other. And when you multiply

to where we need to be and getting kids confidence. We spend way too much time together to not have fun. We’ve got to have fun.”

Furgeson says that the coaching staff is coming together with new faces and says that all are adapting to the students and to each other.

“I think (Coach) Jehling is doing just that,” said Furgeson. “I think he adapts to see what’s best for the Howe students. He’s a sensible man who is listening to his coaches and I don’t think it’s his way or the highway. I can feel the pulse of the coaches and the students.”

He says the athletes in Howe are

different to Richardson mostly because Howe kids have jobs whereas Richardson kids are more able to make it to workouts with their schedule.

“There’s a lot of kids here coming in with dirty shoes. But those are also the kind of kids that know how to grind and work hard,” said Furgeson.

The coaches have discussed personnel with players and what kids can play where and Furgeson is anxious to get the pads on so he can see where the actual parts fit.

“I have my vision and understanding but you have to get these kids in the pads,” said Furgeson.

“That’s so much fun for me— putting the right kids in the right positions.”

those times 250, they become two completely different ecosystems—each with their advantages and disadvantages. Allen has approximately 100,000 citizens compared to Lucas’ 8,600.

For the Allen model, they have dominated the commercial retail market and thrust their sales tax revenue to unbelievable $4 million per month compared to Lucas’ $129,000. The City of Allen also captures property tax dollars from the vast numbers of homes compared to Lucas. Allen decided to cram all kids into one high school which has made for dynamic extracurricular programs.

But at what cost? Crime in Allen is exponentially greater with their 3,704 citizens per square mile breathing down each other’s necks compared to 683 citizens per square mile in Lucas that can stretch out.

The city government of Allen is far richer than that of Lucas. The amenities of Allen are far superior to that of Lucas. But is Allen wealthier than Lucas? Dollar for dollar—yes. But if quality of life is inserted into the term wealth, then where does it stand?

Lovejoy includes the 21st century rural areas (1-acre lot minimums) mostly east of Fairview and Allen. Much like the vast Lovejoy ISD area, Howe ISD also includes Dorchester, and the future of Howe ISD depends on what direction the City of Dorchester decides to go also.

The Walton Group who has purchased property between Howe and Dorchester have a large grand masterplan housing development that will require a sewer system to be erected on their property.

Howe has already approved a large planned development on Blythe Road between Highway 75 and Highway 5 that would drop approximately 1,200 homes

on the 450 acres and signal to developers that the Allen model is available in both Howe and Dorchester.

But as of now, for the most part, the rest of the two cities are virtually still undetermined and the direction must be voiced by the citizens—not the ones who poll on Facebook, but by the ones who vote at the polls and the ones that actually take a leadership role and run to represent the voices in their community.

With US Highway 75, Howe could be a hybrid of both Lucas and Allen. Howe could become a residential Lucas with commercial similarities to Allen along Highway 75 and Highway 5.

This would be the best of both worlds financially and what the community calls having its cake and eating it too. Howe is about to have to make a decision on a wastewater treatment plant to serve those that are already connected to the existing lines. But beyond that in areas that are undeveloped, there is nothing stating that Howe must map out additional lines. Obviously, if you’re going to commercially develop Highway 75 and Highway 5 in South Howe, there is some infrastructure upgrades that will be needed to be factored in to facilitate that commercial development. But residential development of wastewater could fall squarely and solely on housing development investors such as the Tomlin Investments model. The time for rezoning for such measures would be immediate.

Depending on the municipal directions of both Howe and Dorchester, Howe ISD could end up very similar to Lovejoy. It could virtually be comprised of mostly the 21st century rural area model but with the diversity of some of the high-density neighborhoods that have already been approved.

Don’t take Howe for granted.

The Texoma Patriots will meet Wednesday, July 14, at 7 pm and will feature Chad Prather, a candidate for Governor of Texas in the 2022 election.

The meeting will take place at the Red River Cowboy Church, 3800 Highway 691, Denison, TX. Prather is often called the “modern day Will Rogers,” and is unafraid to speak his mind. Pra-

ther is equally at home on stage or behind the wheel of his pickup truck. He believes in winning the race with his values and integrity.

The horrors of the COVID pandemic affecting thousands of families in Texas urged him to run for the next governor. He wants to be a common-sense voice for Texans.

There is no charge to attend and everyone is welcome.

Ag Commissioner Sid Miller to speak in Howe tonight

City of 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 prerecorded 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 For the adventurers and dreamers of the world, there are no limits. Wiley Hardeman Post was born on his Ken Bridges parents’ cotton farm near Canton in November 1898. He was born on a farm with no electricity in a time when airplanes were still just a dream, but within a few years, he would become one of the most famous pilots in the world.

Like many farm families of the time, the Post Family often struggled and moved often. When he was three, the family left Van Zandt County and moved to a farm near Abilene. In 1907, the family moved to Oklahoma.

Post’s education was limited, and Post was never a very good student. He never attended high school, which was not unusual for the time period. He saw his first airplane when he and his family attended a county fair in Lawton, Oklahoma, in 1913. He immediately fell in love with aviation. Post soon enrolled at the Sweeney Automobile and Aviation School in Kansas City, Missouri, where he learned to fly. After a few months of study, he returned to Oklahoma, but he was unable to make a living as a pilot, and his dream of aviation had to wait. He worked various jobs in construction and in the oil fields for the next few years.

In 1918, during World War I, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps

13

July 12, 2021

and trained as a pilot and radio technician. However, the war ended before he saw active service and was discharged.

Post returned to the oilfields, and in 1924, joined an air show called Burrell Tibbs and His Topnotch Texas Flyers. He thrilled audiences as a parachutist, at a time when jumping from an airplane was still very new, and as a pilot. The pay, however, was unsteady, and he had to return to working the oil fields. In 1926, an oil rig accident in Oklahoma injured his left eye, and he later lost all vision in that eye after an infection set in.

He won a worker’s compensation award of $1,700 (or about $25,800 in 2021 dollars) and bought his first airplane. He made a steady living flying a passenger at a time from one location to the next. It was during this time that he met Will Rogers, a popular comedian, movie star, and performer. In 1930, Post became the personal pilot to two prominent Oklahoma oilmen and bought his next plane, a Lockheed Vega he named Winnie Mae after his daughter.

He gained national fame when he won the National Air Race Derby in this plane in August 1930. He flew from Los Angeles to Chicago in a record nine hours and eight minutes. The next year, he took on his next big challenge: to become the first to fly around the world in a fixed-wing aircraft.

Joined by his navigator, Harold Gatty of Australia, he left Long Island, New York, in the Winnie Mae in July 1931, and with stops along the way, they flew more

than 15,400 miles in eight days, 15 hours. Afterward, they were given a ticker-tape parade in New York City and published a book on the flight called Around the World in Eight Days. In 1932, he was honored by Congress with the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross for his exploits.

He took it a step further in July 1933 to embark on a solo flight around the world. He modified his plane with experimental autopilot and radio directional finders and flew east from New York City. His trip was even faster this time. With stops, he completed his trip in seven days, 18 hours.

Post was inspired to fly higher and further than ever. Working with engineer Russell S. Colley, he developed one of the first pressure suits for high-altitude flights. Using what he jokingly called his “Man From Mars” suit, he reached an altitude of 40,000 feet in this pressure suit in September 1934. In another flight shortly afterward, he reached an altitude of 50,000 feet, well into the stratosphere. He noticed on these high-altitude flights eastward that his ground speed was often faster than his air speed. In doing so, he was the first pilot to confirm the proposed existence of what was later called the jet stream, which is still an important part of timing air flights and predicting the weather.

By 1935, he was trying to develop passenger and air mail routes from the Pacific Coast to Russia.

At the time, he was building his own aircraft from parts scavenged from other aircraft. His friend Will Rogers asked to fly with him when they left in August 1935. Rogers wrote about

Wiley Post the trip for his newspaper column, and the two celebrities created a stir with each stop in Washington and Alaska. On August 15, they left Fairbanks for Point Barrow on the Arctic Ocean. Along the way, they became lost in the vast and unmarked territory. They landed near a lagoon to ask for directions. The plane crashed shortly after its next takeoff, and both men were killed. The cause of the crash was never fully established.

After his death, several airports were named after him. Wiley Post Airport is a municipal airport in Oklahoma City. Barrow, Alaska (now Utqiagvik), and Renton, Washington, both have airports named in honor of both Post and Will Rogers. In 1936, the Smithsonian bought his airplane Winnie Mae, which is now on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. His insights into the jet stream and pressure suits are still an important part of aviation today.

Forever an optimist in an imperfect world I watch my little grandson who is almost 3-years-old, and it’s amazing how fast he is learning about life.

He’s happy when he has his way, but Dr. Billy when he’s told Holland no or stop, he bows his head and sticks out his lower lip. How many of us are like this? Ha! All of us! I often think about the many situations and experiences this little fellow will face in his journey and how he will eventually learn there is more to life than watching cartoons and playing with toys.

There will be times when he will need an anchor for his soul like all of us and I pray His hope will be in Christ. The Bible declares Jesus is the way the truth and the life but He never promised this would be a perfect world. First Corinthians 13:11 says, “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became an adult, I put away childish things.”

The context reveals that in this temporary life it’s difficult to understand the spiritual realm but one day we will see God face to face and know as we are known.

God’s plan is for all of us is to not only grow up physically but to mature emotionally and spiritually in Him. I’ve been through some hard times but have also enjoyed many blessings and I've learned that we can either be bitter or better. What I mean is that within our ups and downs we always have the choice to be negative and give up, or we can be positive and filled with faith even when our sky is dark and dreary.

Optimism is contagious and is a personal decision to embrace hope and to reject all that teaches otherwise. No one ever damaged their eyesight looking on the bright side. When we discover that God can be the center of all we are and everything we do, we can live in the joy and peace that passes all understanding. Choosing to see our glass half full instead of half empty helps us to stand boldly with an unwavering expectation that our loving God is working behind the scenes in every situation for our good. Positive thinking is choosing to live

above negativity and despair. This confidence includes knowing the Lord loves us and is always watching over us.

Like most of you, I desire to be informed about what is going on in the world. I listen to many sources of news and then I’m faced with trying to sort out what is true from opinions and speculation. When it comes to theology and spiritual prophecy, there is much disagreement there as well.

Some say the future is going to get better and evil will be exposed, while others believe the world will continue growing worse until Christ returns. Whatever your convictions and views, I just want to encourage you today and remind you that no matter what happens from here forward, God is never surprised or worried. The Almighty’s desires will be fulfilled exactly as He planned and nothing can change them. Yes, there is an enemy that can attack us with anxiety and fear, but Deuteronomy 20:3-4 gives us this promise, “Let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified for the Lord your God is He that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.” Exodus 14:14 also declares that He will fight for us and protect us. When we know that it's impossible for God to fail, we are filled with trust and security.

Followers of Christ are not optimistic because they trust in man's abilities to solve the world’s problems, or hope that somehow everything is going to turn out alright. We are optimistic simply because we believe that God is who He says He is. When we observe circumstances without including God we base our thoughts on fear which is pessimistic.

However, true faith is seeing circumstances through the eyes of God. My contribution is to help edify the body of Christ and I invite you to visit my website where you will find Christian articles, songs, and videos to encourage, inspire and motivate your mind and spirit. I am blessed by all of you who read this column and stirred by your commitment to God, your willingness to serve, and your excitement to follow Him.

Financially Supporting Your Elderly Parents Hi Taylor: My siblings and I have been talking about how to help my parents navigate their remaining Taylor years. They’re Kovar in their 80s and have some money but not a lot. Any advice?

- Scott Hey Scott: That’s great that it’s become a family affair. It’s tough to watch these decisions fall on one person, so I’m glad you have siblings to share the load.

You can do a lot to help make this transition easier for your parents.

If you’re just starting the process, here are a few things to focus on.

Guide them through a relocation.

There are a lot of reasons for elderly people to move. Sometimes it’s for safety, other times for companionship, and many times just to cut costs. Whatever the reason, the most important thing you can do is handle all the little things that make it a pain. Moving is hard for everyone - it’s especially hard for people who have lived in one place for decades and now have to change their routine. Take care of the phone and cable, setting up the room, every detail you can manage. Help your folks focus on the exciting parts of the move (making new friends!) and dwell less on the scary parts (change!).

Help with budgeting. If possible, help your parents stop spending on products and services they used to love in their 50s but no longer actually use or need. New expenses can be pretty troubling for anyone set in his or her ways, but if you show them how rent or a new car payment can be offset

15

July 12, 2021

by ditching some unnecessary spending, the adjustment becomes much easier.

Be on call. The hardest thing for you and your siblings might be the most helpful for your parents.

After so many years of independence, it’s tough to become dependent on the children you raised. Mom and dad might have some hesitancy to call for help even when it’s a simple issue that you could fix in a couple minutes. Stop by as often as you can to make sure all the remotes are working properly and the windows open and close without too much trouble. Those small jobs make a big difference in a person’s daily life; try your best to stay on top of what tasks and errands need doing.

This can be a hard time for everyone involved. It requires a lot of patience and attentiveness, but it’s the most rewarding type of work there is. Wishing you and your family the best!

Living with children John Rosemond

When I ask a teacher, “What is the biggest problem you face?” the answer – there has never been an exception – is “parents.”

That is certainly a recent phenomenon. My parents were not a problem for my teachers, nor were the parents of my friends.

We were afraid of what our parents would do if a teacher reported a problem to them; therefore, we did our best to not provoke such reports (girls succeeding much better than boys).

But that was then, and this is now.

Today, the indignant parent who rises, knee-jerk, to his/her child’s defense at the slightest whiff of a classroom problem is ubiquitous.

Why is that? It is because today’s parents do not believe in free will; rather, they believe in parenting determinism, which is to say, they believe in Sigmund Freud, the socalled “Father of Modern Psychology.” It was Freud who proposed that every glitch in a person’s behavior could be traced back to a dysfunctional upbringing, mostly perpetrated by a mother who was either too smothering or too distant.

Allow me to provide a real-life contrast: My mother, when I told her that a teacher obviously didn’t like me and was treating me unfairly, said, without hesitation, “Good. It’s high time you learned how to deal with people who don’t like you. You’ll encounter them throughout your life.” I was in the sixth grade. Twelve years young.

Today’s parent, given the same situation, is almost certain to travel to the school and confront the teacher in question. Her child, she says, “Would never do such a thing” or equivalent hogwash.

She reasons that if he is at fault for anything, then she is somehow deficient. She is haunted by Freud.

When I continued to complain about said teacher, Mom told me, “You must have done something to make her not like you. You’d better correct the problem before your report card comes out or there will be consequences.” She was spot on, and I corrected the problem.

Today, the problem is never the child…according to the child’s parents, that is. And so, the problem, today, must be corrected by the teacher. Thus are today’s children deprived of the gift my mother gave me: to wit, the gift of personal responsibility, which, because children are generally loathe to accept it, must be forced upon them. Oh, and by the way, when it is so forced, children almost always complain (frequently accompanied by weeping) that they are being treated unfairly, which is simply proof that all children are near-sighted. As my stepfather used to say, “You don’t see past the end of your own nose.”

The end result of this unwitting belief in the musings of Freud, who can be credited for inventing psychobabble, is that the wrong person – the teacher – is assigned responsibility for the problem; thus, the wrong person is motivated to solve it, which she often does by simply not informing a child’s parents that problems exist, which further means that when a teacher finally does inform the child’s parents of a problem, the parents say, “He’s never had a problem with any other teacher.”

And around and around it goes.

Fabacher commits to D-1 Nicholls State University in Louisiana

Howe All-School Reunion lunch tickets on sale The Howe All-School Reunion was originally slated for last year, but due to COVID, the Howe ExStudents Association rescheduled the event to this Oct. 15-16 which is homecoming weekend.

The weekend begins with the Howe Bulldogs hosting the Commerce Tigers at Bulldog Stadium at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $5 for general admission at the gate. At halftime, Howe High School at 200 Ponderosa Rd, will open for those who would like to gather together.

On Saturday morning at 9 am, the high school will open for coffee and donuts and at 11 am a $16 luncheon and a program will be held at the high school which will be catered by Dickey’s BBQ. On Saturday night, the Howe ExStudents Association is hosting a scholarship benefit concert featuring The Chicago Tribute Authority Texas which is a Chicago cover band featuring HHS graduate Rod Hawkins.

After a senior year full of strange happenings, Jake Fabacher, the school record holder in cross country, was approached recently

by Division I Nicholls State University to continue his cross country and track career in Thibodaux, Louisiana.

Fabacher broke the Howe High School record with a run of 17:52 at the district cross country meet on October 21, 2020. Due to close contact with a friend that tested positive for COVID-19, Fabacher was quarantined which meant he was unable to compete or attend the regional meet. He was tested for COVID which came back negative, however, due to mandates, he was still ineligible to participate despite not being sick or showing any symptoms.

Fabacher trained extensively through the spring and summer despite the shutdown by running 45 miles per week in hopes of qualifying for the state meet in his final season.

Then there was the night in Whitewright in the final regular season game where he toed the free throw line to give the Bulldogs the lead with two seconds remaining in the game that was to send them into the playoffs. But a last-second heave from half court ended the basketball season with a thud.

Perhaps the worst thud of them all was at the regional track meet where Fabacher was poised to advance to state in the 800 meters, but a fall that took place in front of him caused him to sidestep the traffic and a runner left the track and leaped in front of him. The two runners that fell were allowed to re-run the race on their own (which is unheard of) and Fabacher was stripped of his medal and a potential trip to Austin to the state meet. Fabacher had just run a 2:03.07 to win the area championship, but due to the fall and maneuver, ran a 2:05.42 in regionals.

After being named Howe’s Cross Country MVP, Basketball MVP, and Track MVP at the annual awards banquet, he was planning on attending Grayson College and giving up his athletic career. But a call from Nicholls State University changed his mind. The attraction of running for a Division I school attracted him to at least take their conversations seriously.

After a visit and meeting with the head coach, Fabacher made his decision to keep running.

Fabacher plans to major in Health Sciences. He’s the son of Carey Fabacher and Michelle Walker.

He’s a second generation graduate of Howe High School as his mother, the former Michelle Smith, was a 1989 HHS graduate.
