Pride of Howe going ‘off the rails’ in 2021 It’s always sketchy writing an article about an English teacher.

Yes, we won the English award in high school, yada yada, but it also once looked like my teacher must have suffered a stab wound to the eyebrow once while grading one of my essays. Hopefully I won’t get this edition graded and handed back to me. Congrats to Mrs. Nail and the honor is well deserved.

She received a welldeserved award. (See what I did there?) ***** For the eighth consecutive season, we will broadcast Howe Bulldogs football live on our website and on YouTube. The same crew will return with Justin White, Caroline Slawson, Blake Burnett, Carson Grogan, and Jake Roberts.

Please do business with our sponsors.

They make it happen.

Hard to believe this will be my 28th season overall to broadcast football games on Friday nights. What I miss the most about 6A football is the comfy roomy press boxes. I got my eyes on 2024.

Bulk Trash Pickup 2nd Friday of each month in Howe.

Football players will think they have it rough this week during 2-a-days, but they should look no further than a few yards away from the practice field where the band went through 3-a-days last week from 9am to 9pm. The 3-time State Champion Pride of Howe began their preparations for the 2021 season and revealed that the theme this year will be “Off

the Rails” - a tribute to Howe’s beginnings with a railroad theme.

While Friday night

halftime shows are always a fun way to showcase their talents to a big audience,

Robert Hunt, 1963-2021

Obituary still pending as of close of publication.

© 2021 The Howe Enterprise

Rob Hunt was a man of high character who loved his family and his community. When we began resurrecting the former First Christian Church, he spearheaded a donation of $10,505 which was leftover from a previous community project. We shared a lot of common interests including the Texas Rangers, Howe, Texas, and the massive need for trade skills being just as or more important than a college degree. I’m very proud to call him a good friend. I will miss him and forever be grateful for his willingness to share his knowledge of the world from his vantage point. - Monte Walker

Quick Check in Howe introduces new store manager Submitted 1st Quick Check Convenience Stores would like to welcome Zachary Wilks to our team. Wilks accepted the position of Store Manager at our Howe location just a few weeks ago, and we are already seeing many positive changes and have received numerous compliments on his behalf.

a

Wilks was born and raised Howe.

He graduated from Howe High School in 2010 and earned a bachelor’s degree in safety from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. He and his wife, Rickie, have three children – Brightyn, Brystol, and Breckyn (twins). His hobbies include spending time with his wife and kids and cheering on the Texas Longhorns through the good years and the bad.

Zach previously worked at Quick Check from 2012-2015 while he was attending college. He also worked as a seasonal cashier at Lowe’s in Sherman and was quickly promoted to a management position. Under his leader-

Zach Wilks

ship, his department sales ranked in the top 10 out of over 1800 stores nationwide. His track record of starting at the bottom and quickly rising to the top is a testament to his excellent work ethic and determination. We are very pleased to have him back with us in this capacity.

Howe ISD announced its policy that this school year, healthy meals will be offered every school day to all students at no cost Typically, a student’s household must meet income eligibility requirements to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. However, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued guidance that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the 2021-2022 school year.

Each school/site or central office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed upon request.

While no application or eligibility determination process is required for your student to receive free meals this school year, the income eligibility requirement will likely resume in the 2022-2023 school year.

Howe ISD anunció hoy su política de que, en este año escolar, se ofrecerán comidas saludables a

todos los estudiantes sin costo alguno en todos los días escolares. Por lo general, el hogar de un estudiante debe cumplir con los requisitos de elegibilidad de ingresos para calificar para recibir comidas gratuitas o a precio reducido. Sin embargo, el Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA, por sus siglas en inglés), emitió una guía que permite a las escuelas ofrecer comidas a todos los estudiantes sin costo alguno para el año escolar 2021-2022. Cada escuela/ centro u oficina central tiene una copia de la política, que puede ser revisada bajo petición.

Si bien no se requiere ninguna solicitud o proceso de determinación de elegibilidad para que su estudiante reciba comidas gratuitas este año escolar, el requisito de elegibilidad de ingresos probablemente se reanudarán en el año escolar 2022-2023.

(Continued from page 1)

2021 is advancement year which means the stakes are much higher than just Friday nights.

“We set out to go all the way,” said Band Director Angie Liss.

We believe that we have the kids, and we believe that we have the show and our expectations are that they’re going to do the very best they can and if they do that, and the stars all align, there’s no reason to think that they can’t go get all the marbles.”

The “Off the Rails” performance will have a “ghost train” type of feel with some original music to begin with some train sound effects. The second movement ballad is an arrangement of “Chattanooga Choo Choo.” The third movement will be “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne.

“I can’t wait for that first football game where that train goes through at halftime,” said the grinning Liss.

This year’s drum major is Chloe Scoggins who has been assistant drum major for two years prior.

Montana Sartor, Olivia Morris, and Korie Bouse are assistant drum majors. Bouse will march but will also switch with Morris at times during the performance.

The band president is Ethan Strunc and band vice president is Jentry Doty. Kayley Laubhan serves as color guard captain with Jessica Baustida is co-captain.

Liss says that participation is

ranging from 75-80 band students on the field which is typical.

Some middle school students will be in the ensemble, but not marching on the field. However, she says there’s one eighth grader that could possibly march due to his abilities.

Scoggins says that she’s very excited for the upcoming season and is glad that an advancement year landed on her senior year.

“I’ve already been once and I’m really hoping that’s the way we go this year,” said Scoggins who was assistant drum major during Howe’s trip to the state finals in San Antonio her sophomore year.

The reason for her optimism lays partly with the freshman class.

“I’ve seen these freshmen come out of their shells just on day two and sometimes that doesn’t happen,” said Scoggins. “It takes a while for them to come out of their shell. They’re not being shy and really getting a feel for what the band really is.”

Scoggins says when she was a freshman, the leadership of Drum Major Kindle Catching played a major role in making the younger band members feeling comfortable and Scoggins says she wants to take that same approach.

Liss, who will have her band play live at the Community Pep Rally for the first time on Aug. 21 says that she’s excited to get to be on turf.

“When people think of turf, they

generally only think of football,” said Liss. “But the benefits that it has for our district is good for band, it’s good for multiple sports, and it’s good for events like Day of Champions.”

Liss says she’s had to pay and rent stadiums with turf for practic-

es over the years.

“For them to have the opportunity to get on the turf on a regular basis is huge for us,” said Liss. “It’s such a bonus for our district. On Friday nights we don’t have to worry about our setup and if it’s going to be muddy. We shouldn’t have to worry now if we’re going to fall down. We are so excited.”

Teacher of the Year (Continued from page 1)

Nail was surprised at the awards and was accompanied by Howe ISD Superintendent Kevin Wilson and Howe High School Principal Phil Kempson.

After being named the winner of the award, a video was shown with interviews from her students and Principal Kempson. Avery Snapp, a student at HHS said that Mrs. Nail is the best teacher she’s ever had and that she is helpful and respectful to her students.

“She helps kids understand what we’re learning and if you don’t understand, if you ask her—she’ll help you in a different way in order for you to be successful,” said Jered Brussow, an HHS student.

Senior Will Fleming said that he wasn't fond of English until he landed in her classroom. Landery Sanders explained that all the students received one-on-one attention before essays in order to learn their strengths and weaknesses and what to build upon.

“Getting to know exactly what I need to focus on through my writing and telling me exactly what I’m good at gives me confidence and really prepared me for the test,” said Sanders.

Snapp said she loves her person-

Chelsie Nail ality as a person, but as a teacher she’s very interactive and really wants her students to succeed.

“She does a great job of being a task master or a drill sergeant, but yet the kids don’t see it like that,” said Kempson. “She’s leading them to do the work and to advance academically, but in a way that really draws the kids in and makes them want to learn and get better. She just makes it look really easy and that’s something that’s really hard to do. She gets kids to buy in, maintains respect, and also, they have fun in there and they like her. She just has ‘it.’”

Each student finished their video by saying they loved her.

Teacher of the Year (Continued from page 7)

In her speech, she said she was shocked and would have invited her husband to attend if she thought she had a chance to win.

“I had it together until Will, Landery, and all of them said all of those kind things,” said Nail to the large audience.

She thanked Superintendent Kevin Wilson, Principal Kempson, and her students.

“It’s been a tough year,” said Nail. “We went to battle last year so we’re ready to arm our kids this year with so much. We show up every day showing integrity and perseverance—things that mean so much more than a test score or a grade.”

Nail was not aware she was going to win, however, Wilson and Kempson had prior knowledge.

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 Sam Houston needed a miracle. Thousands of troops were charging into Texas from Mexico, threatening all that Ken Bridges Texas settlers had built and all that they attempted to defend. Heartbreaking defeats at the Alamo and Goliad had severely damaged the army and morale. Now on the run in the spring of 1836, the hopes of Texas lay with him.

Mexico was in the midst of its own civil war by 1835, with the Texas Revolution being just a part of it. Government after government had been overthrown in a series of upheavals as one faction after another tried to lay claim to the country. In fact, the nations of Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and El Salvador had initially been a part of Mexico when it won its independence from Spain in 1821.

After yet another revolution in 1823, those nations split away. At this point, states across Mexico rose in rebellion against the latest government in Mexico City.

Texas settlers had risen up as well and declared their independence on March 2, 1836. Sam Houston, a hero from the War of 1812 and former governor of Tennessee, had been chosen to command the Texas Army. While he accepted the command without hesitation, Houston realized that in spite of the fighting spirit of the troops, they were outmanned and outgunned.

Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa An-

na, the current president of Mexico, had gathered thousands of troops and swore that Texas troops would receive no quarter or mercy. As defeats mounted, Houston pulled back toward East Texas to assemble his army and prepare for a final stand. He wrote his troops on April 7, “The victims of the Alamo and the names of those who were murdered at Goliad, call for cool, deliberate vengeance.

Strict order, discipline, and subordination will insure us the victory.” By April 19, they arrived at Buffalo Bayou near the San Jacinto River in what is now Harris County with Santa Anna arriving the next day.

troops had given him away by loudly addressing him as “El Presidente.” He was brought before Houston where he formally surrendered his army.

Houston’s victory secured the independence of Texas from Mexico. Within months, a jubilant Texas public elected Houston as the first elected president of the Republic of Texas with 79% of the vote. Harrisburg was incorporated as the City of Houston in 1837,

On the afternoon of April 21, while Santa Anna and his troops rested, Houston took his 800 troops and charged at the Mexican force of nearly 1,450. Houston himself was shot in the ankle, but the army quickly overwhelmed Santa Anna’s forces, taking very light casualties.

In one glorious moment, Houston and the Texas Army triumphed over Santa Anna. The battle was a rout. About 630 of Santa Anna’s troops died and 730 taken prisoner. In the chaos of the battle, many Mexican troops had fled the scene, and Santa Anna himself seemed to have slipped away as well. Houston ordered that his troops redouble their efforts to find him, for if he managed to escape and redirect his remaining forces, the battle at San Jacinto would have been for nothing.

The next day, Santa Anna was found, disguised as a private and hiding among his troops. His own

a

13 named in his honor. Though Houston had won the great victory he needed, many new and complex challenges still faced Texas.

The importance of the Battle of San Jacinto and the role of Sam Houston was never lost in the imagination of the Texas public. The State of Texas officially purchased the battle site in the 1890s, while a 570-foot obelisk was completed in 1939 in memory of the battle.

Our blueprint, compass, and instruction manual When it comes to finding our place in this world, let’s consider two categories. The first one let’s call, floating down the river. Imagine someDr. Billy one napping in Holland a small boat without a compass or a paddle and not caring about where they are going. Having a spectator mentality, they have no map or intentional direction but rather are just hoping for the best. It’s also common for these individuals to throw pity parties from time to time, as their happy-golucky lifestyle includes serious disappointments. Often haunted with thoughts of being left behind, they are caught in a vicious cycle of confusion and discouragement. As a Christian counselor, I’ve had conversations with those who are stuck in this drifting mindset and certainly have compassion for them, but we all have to do our share of searching and praying. No doubt it’s extremely difficult to know our calling, but it does not help the situation by living in denial and blaming everyone else for our problems.

It’s always scary to move out of our comfort zone and face reality because sometimes life can seem like a huge mountain that’s impossible to climb. If you’ve ever tried to help someone find their destiny, you understand when I say we cannot force anyone to do anything, and neither can we help those who are not willing to help themselves. In every area of life, those who desire a healthy state of being must see the truth about their circumstances and be willing to do something about it.

Since God’s character and nature are based on divine order, we can agree there are no mandates or divine commissions for drifting aimlessly through life. The good news is that God is patiently waiting to help us whenever our passion to change becomes stronger than our excuses.

The second category includes those who realize that life is to be lived with a specific purpose. I believe that having Jesus Christ as the commander of our life is the meaning and reason for everything we do. As the author and finisher of our faith, God’s word reminds us that He’s drawn a spe-

cific one-of-a-kind blueprint for everyone’s life according to His perfect plans. It’s true, He rarely writes for example, “John Smith will be a plumber” on the wall, but the basic concept of the Christian life is to become aware of our calling and determined to accomplish it. This spiritual reality encourages and motivates us, but another aspect of this challenge is to realize we have certain conditions and responsibilities on our part in order for this vision to be manifested. It will require surrendering our will to Him. You see, with God being the Potter and us being the clay, it’s critical to accept the fact that we do not conveniently ask God to bless the dreams and ambitions of our own making, but rather we allow Him to transform us into what He wants us to be. Yes, it’s painful to yield control, however, this must happen if we want to have a genuine relationship with our maker.

He desires to be more than a Savior, He demands to be our Lord.

Transforming our mind is not easy and anyone who advertises how wonderful it is to sacrifice, suffer and be uncomfortable, probably has a degree in marketing. There’s nothing wrong with learning how others have accomplished their goals, but even if we become experts on personal change, this does not automatically mean we will. Besides, beyond the motivational seminars and the achievement formulas that are available, like we said before, you are a unique individual and God has arranged a special path for you to take. Allow me to include, there is also no substitute for prayer and perseverance if we are to become all that Jesus died for us to be. Christians that have experienced even a modest amount of success had to not only discover their spiritual blueprint but demonstrated the value of hard work. Obedience requires faith and determination, but without allowing God to build us His way along with our complete cooperation, we will most likely never fulfill our true destiny. May we remember, the story of our life is being written and if we choose to follow God’s plans, we are already on the road to pleasing Him and will never be disappointed or ashamed.

Should I lend my son money for his house?

Hey Taylor: My son has been with a great company for 10 years and was recently relocated. He has been Taylor renting for the Kovar past 10 years but now wants to invest in a house since he is settling down and interest rates are low. He doesn’t have a lot of money saved up to use as a down payment, so I’m thinking about giving or lending him the money.

What do you think? — Susan Hey Susan: Coming up with a down payment is often the greatest barrier to overcome for firsttime home buyers. As a general principal, I think borrowing money from friends and family should be done very cautiously.

All loans should involve a legal contract, and mixing finances with personal relationships can definitely make the holidays awkward if not done properly. Plus, having this additional loan could negatively influence your son’s debt-to-income ratio, which will be used to calculate how much he can borrow toward a house.

You can definitely gift him money toward a down payment, but only do so if you consider it a nostrings-attached gift. The lender for his loan may actually require you to sign a letter affirming that it is truly a gift and will not need to be repaid.

In some cases, his required down payment could be as low as 3.5% for an FHA loan, but if he can come up with a 20% down payment, he can save on closing costs, interest rates and bypass needing mortgage insurance, which could save him hundreds of dollars a month.

There are many down payment assistance programs out there at the federal, state, and local levels that he will want to consider.

These incentivize settling down

in certain areas; provide loans and grants to law enforcement officers, teachers, firefighters, etc.; or help purchase and renovate foreclosed properties.

If he has enough money in an IRA and this is his first house purchase, he could potentially withdraw up to $10,000 penalty free to use on the down payment.

He will have to pay income tax on this money and there are still a few requirements he has to meet, but this can be a great option if he is short on funds.

This final option should only be used after he speaks with a financial professional about the details of his situation, but if he is still short on cast, he might see if taking a loan against his 401(k) is an option. This is rarely a good choice, but it can make sense for some people who are just a little short of the money for a full down payment.

Purchasing a home is a big decision, so I highly recommend your son sit down with a financial professional before making a final decision, as they can show him this decision will affect his future. Good luck and happy house hunting!

Living with children It seems to be generally true that as one gets older, the habit of reminiscing develops. Looking back seems to be a function John of getting closer Rosemond to the final curtain. The closer the latter, the more of the former one indulges in. In that regard, I indulge in an optimistic amount.

I often reminisce about my paradoxical childhood. My parents were a mess and so were their marriages, of which, between them, there were four. By any objective measure, I should not have turned out well. My mother and stepfather – he came into my life when I was seven – may have been in love but they didn’t seem to like one another at all. That makes for a certain amount of constant tension. In my case, the tension was interspersed with periods of sheer chaos. I spent a lot of time in my room, voluntarily. .

During her single parent years, my mom was the parent the proverbial doctor ordered. After her remarriage, she came apart at the seams, but for all her unraveling, she still managed to do some things right, the most significant of which was she let me find my own way. Whether by design or a lack of emotional resources, she left me alone as I wandered rather aimlessly over the landscape of young adult life.

A straight-A student in high school, I went to college, promptly joined a rock band (lead singer) and two years later had a GPA of 2.1, which in those days was twotenths of a point away from Vietnam. Neither Mom nor the ersatz father figure ever said a thing.

Today’s parents, by and large, would be calling the Dean, calling professors, making trips to campus, making early morning calls to get me out of bed, “helping” with term papers (i.e., serving as ghost writers), sending care packages, hiring tutors, trying to get me diagnosed with something sufficient to obtaining academic dispensations on my behalf…in

short, micromanaging and enabling from afar. No such things emanated from Westchester, Illinois. Only a benevolent silence.

Rarely did I even come home during breaks, and rarely did they even ask where I was going.

At the end of three years in school, I was still considered a sophomore. It was then that a psychology professor took interest in me and pulled me out of the ditch to which I’d become complacently accustomed. Serendipity? Fate?

God’s hand? Who knows? In any case, I married, became a father, got into grad school, finished with honors, and figured out the rest.

The moral of the story: Sometimes, good parenting consists of doing nothing but biting one’s nails to the quick in agonizing secrecy.

I talk to a good number of parents who are dealing with young adult children who, more or less, fit the above description. Most of them are trying to fix it. Most of them are attempting to correct bygone parenting blunders that may or may not – probably may not – account for their children’s foibles.

They are, to a person, wasting their time and grinding themselves down to the nub in the process. At this point in their children’s lives, etiology is not the issue and any speculations along those lines, even coming from a mental health professional, are purely speculative and unverifiable. Said parents simply need to stop trying to fix it.

Which, truth be known, is the most difficult of all parenting hurdles to clear. The good news, for those who manage to clear it: It will most likely be the last.
