Volume 57, Edition 21 October 7, 2019 Howeenterprise.com

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 de-cisions based upon the greater interest of the peo-ple and not their own pockets. It appears that the public finally did so in 2016 and elected a busi-nessman to clean up cor-ruption and do all the things we've said we wanted. The problem is that the corrupted pocket-liners had more power than we thought. They've used their power and mon-ey (stolen from us) to en-rich themselves greater and place themselves in a situation where they con-trol the media, Holly-wood, and all things com-munication.

We The People have been duped for about 50 years and the battle to restore power to US is going to be much more difficult than one might have thought.

A second term for the cur-rent President would result in perhaps military tribu-nals of former government officials all the way to the top. It'll make the O.J. Simpson trial look like a Judge Judy episode. This is why those that have the most to lose (Democrats and certain Republicans) cannot afford to have him reach a second term. They will hang and they know it.

The effects of Howe (2-4; 1-1) being the fifth small-est 3A-Division I school reared its ugly head Fri-day night at Bulldog Sta-dium as Rains (3-3; 1-1), one of the largest schools with an enrollment ad-vantage 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.

Emory Rains quarterback Luke Sheppard was too much for the Bulldogs to handle Friday night as he accounted for five touch-downs which included

four rushing and Jarron Ing in search of a tackle on Friday night at Bulldog Stadium.

Howe suffers first district loss to Rains, 55-28

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 wa-ter 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 ex-cavation 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 nec-essary and proper repairs needed, affecting pressure in areas of the city includ-ing Summit Hill Subdivi-sion, Summit Hill Elemen-tary, W. FM 902, Tim-bercreek Dr., Pioneer Val-ley 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 mes-sages by visiting cityof-howe.org. City worker Blake Hamner fixing a water leak on

Howe freshman Austin Haley throws a pass early in the game.


one passing. The junior signal-caller also rushed for 125 yards on 20 carries while throwing for 105 on 13 attempts. Their read-pass-option style of offense allowed for Sheppard to also hand the ball off to fellow back Mason Songer who rushed for 149 yards on 16 carries. Rains totaled 506 total yards on offense which ranks for eighth-most Howe's allowed in recorded history and the fourth most ever at Bulldog Stadium. It's the first time the Dogs have allowed over 500 yards in a game since Van Alstyne racked up 566 at Bulldog Stadium in 2017.

On the other side of the ball, Howe continued to rack up impressive offensive numbers with 201 yards on the ground and 215 through the air. Jalen Thornton has been the Bulldogs workhorse for the first six games and Friday night he carried the ball 24 times for 177 yards and a touchdown. Freshman quarter-back Austin Haley also played well as he went 13-of-24 passing for 215 yards and one touchdown. The touchdown pass gives him 10 on the season and career. He ties Brian Freese for ninth all-time. Freese had 553 passing attempts compared to Haley's 86.

Howe had a great chance of getting on the board first as Rains gambled on a fourth-and-short at their own 39 yard line and came up short thanks to a great defensive play by Matthew Bearden and Jackson Ad-kins who combined to turn away Sheppard on a run up the middle. But Howe's offense also stalled on a fourth-and-four at the Rains 18 when Wildcat end Bobby Dell tipped Haley's pass.

Rains was then able to put the game's first points on the board on a 3-play, 81-yard drive that ended on a 62-yard Songer touchdown. Rains led 7-0 after the Andrew Balthrop PAT at the 7:04 mark in the first.

After a Howe punt, the Bulldogs got their 17th takeaway of the sea-son when a bad snap to Sheppard caused him to scramble backward for it. Hunter Brussow knocked the ball away allowing Bearden to pick it up and run it to the Rains 36 yard line. From there, Howe capitalized when Haley threw a dart to Kolby Windon who hauled it in at the five and raced in. That tied the game at 7-7 with :46 left in the first quarter after Kevin Flores' PAT.

Rains took no time to answer right back as they took four plays to travel 50 yards and scored on a 31-yard run by Sheppard. With 11:09 left in the second, Rains led 14-7.

The Bulldogs took the ball at their own 22 to start the next drive. A pump fake by Haley got Rains cor-nerback Colt Rivera to turn his hips allowing Windon to gain sep-aration for a 56-yard gainer to the 4 yard line. From there Brandon Williams did the rest where he broke several tackles on his way for a 4-yard score to tie the game at 14-14 with 8:48 left in the sec-ond.

Rains again took no time to score, going 6 plays, 50 yards seeing Songer plunge over from the 3 yard line. Rains led 21-14 with 7:11 left before half.

Howe was unable to keep pace on the next possession and was forced to punt. It was the last time Howe was truly in the game. Rains ex-tended their lead to 28-14 when Sheppard raced 62 yards to end a 4-play, 80-yard drive.

After another Howe punt, Shep-pard caught Howe napping when he turned away from the heavy run load and short pass load to throw one deep to Antonio Villegas who hauled it in for a 51-yard touch-down. That gave Rains a 35-14 advantage with 1:43 left before the half.

The first play of the second half saw the snap go over Sheppard's head where Arturo Lowder recov-ered it to give Howe the ball at the Rains 31. On the second play, Thornton knifed through the line for a 31-yard score to bring the Dogs within 14 at 35-21.

Both teams traded punts before Sheppard again used his running ability to score a 1-yard touch-down to end a 6-play, 59-yard drive and give Rains a 42-21 lead with 4:02 left in the third.

As the game began to stall, Shep-pard would add another rushing touchdown from the 2 yard line to increase the Wildcat lead to 48-21 with 7:38 remaining in the game.

City of Howe institutes water restrictions

The City of Howe has imple-mented a Water Conservation Plan that includes year round re-strictions for outdoor watering. The restrictions allow Howe citi-zens to irrigate outdoors twice a week during the spring and sum-

mer months and one day a week during the wetter fall and winter months. The City's Water Con-servation Plan is part of a larger collective effort along with other cities to preserve water resources in the rapidly growing north Tex-as region.

Texoma Patriots to meet tonight The Texoma Patriots will wel-come the Bowers Family Sing-ers, all nine of them,to Buck Snort BBQ in Downtown Van Alstyne. They are traveling the states showing their films, sing-ing, and speaking on com-munism, the Deep State, and social justice.

The Texoma Patriots showed their first film Agenda: Grind-ing Down America in April 2012. Curtis Bowers, filmmaker and former Idaho Congressman, introduced their second film Agenda 2: Masters of Deceit to us in March 2016. Their films outline what the communists have been doing for decades to change America. Information can be found at www.Agendadocumentary.com to view film trailers. Their books and DVDs will be for sale.

When Idaho Legislator Bowers wrote a “letter to the editor” about the drastic changes in America’s culture, it became the feature story on the evening news, people protested at the Capitol, and for weeks the local newspapers were filled with re-sponses. He realized then he’d hit on something. Ask almost anyone and you’ll hear, “Communism is dead! The Ber-lin Wall came down.” Though the word communism isn’t used much anymore, the films show that the ideas behind it are alive and well. Join the Bowers fami-ly for a fascinating look at the

people and groups that have suc-cessfully targeted America’s mo-rality and freedom in their effort to grind America down.

We will collect a love offering to help defray their expenses.

Youth football roundup Sub-varsity roundup K-2nd Grade

The K-2nd grade Howe Bulldogs (6-1) took on the Bells Panthers in Leonard on Saturday. The Bulldog defense stuffed the Pan-thers on their first drive which set up a Bulldogs touchdown on the first offensive possession. Sean Douglas took it for a long touch-down on the ground. The Pan-thers could not get anything go-ing against the stingy Bulldogs defense as the howe only gave up two first downs.

Easton Ganow took the next of-fensive play from scrimmage for a 50 yd score on the ground be-hind a great block by Austyn Navidad. Navidad also took the extra point in on the next play carrying multiple Panther defend-ers. Navidad also scored a touch-down later in the game from 20 yards out. Both Noah and Eli Es-pitia also scored a touchdown today to round out the scoring for the Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs secured the number two seed going into the playoffs with the win over the Panthers and will take on Bells again next week in the first round at Wolfe City at noon. Howe has scored 188 points and allowed 59 on the year.

3rd/4th Grade

The Howe 3rd and 4th grade Bulldogs (4-3) put up a fight to

bring home a 6-0 win on Satur-day against the Bells Panthers. Deacon Bender scored the only points during the game for Howe. Luke Ellison and Isaiah Allen carried the Bulldog defense with five tackles each. Ellison caused and recovered a fumble to get the ball back for the Bulldogs. Karson McNutt had three big tackles, while Samantha Fuhr had the only sack to go along with her four tackles. Grant Davidson, Jaden Strunc, Caden Crosson, and Sam Blassengame all had tackles in the game.

Howe will play Blue Ridge ini Bells next Saturday at 1:30 pm.

5th/6th Grade

The Howe 5th and 6th grade Bulldogs (2-5) played White-wright in S&S on Saturday and according to Head Coach Billie Ingram they beat themselves with fumbles and interceptions.

"The defense was on the field too long and wore down," said In-gram.

He indicated that Conner Roberts stood out and played great de-fense in the 26-6 loss.

Howe will play S&S in Trenton next Saturday at 1:30 pm in the first round of the playoffs.

7th Grade

The Howe 7th Grade Bulldogs kept their undefeated record alive as they traveled to Emory Rains and beat the Wildcats 20-12.

Braden Ulmer got Howe on the scoreboard first with a 15-yard scamper with 6:51 left in the sec-ond quarter. Rains answered back immediately with a 68-yard score of their own to tie the game at six.

In the second half, quarterback Garren Lankford hit Triston Wil-liams for a 25-yard touchdown. Ulmer raced across for the 2-point conversion to give Howe a 14-6 lead with 2:15 left in the third quarter.

With 1:08 left in the third, Rains scored on a 60-yard run to narrow the game to 14-12. But midway through the fourth, Ulmer again carried it over from the 2 yard line to seal the 20-12 win.

8th Grade

Cooper Jones scored Howe's first points on a 60-yard run with 5:24 left in the second quarter to give the Bulldogs a 6-0 lead. Rains an-swered back on a 5-yard score on a jet sweep to tie the game at six.

Rains scored on a 69-yard quar-terback scramble with :18 left in the third quarter to break the tie.

Rains led 12-6.

After a Howe blocked punt deep in Rains territory, the Wildcats were able to pick it up and run it 10-yards for a score to increase their lead to 18-6. The 2-point conversion was successful. Rains scored another touchdown late in the game on a 42-yard run up the middle to give the Widcats a 28-6 win.

JV

The Howe JV were defeated 26-6 by Emory Rains. Luke Lopez scored Howe's only points on a 65-yard run.


Pride of Howe has first competition

The Pride of Howe in competition at Aubrey on Saturday.

The Pride of Howe competed Sat-urday in their first competition of the year at the Aubrey Marching Contest. This contest is a “warm up” contest somewhat akin to a non -district athletic contest as it gives the band the opportunity to compete without any playoff or advancement ramifications. The band just missed the cut to ad-vance to the finals but came away

with many positive and construc-tive critiques from the judges.

The band will continue to tweak and add to the performance this week before competing next Sat-urday at both the McKinney Marching Invitational and the Ponder Marching Contest.

Halloween—or as we residents of Howe like to call it—Howe-lloween—is at the end of this spooky month. It happens to be my favorite holiday to decorate for, right behind Christmas. Washington Irving’s 1820 short story, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” describes a party where Ichabod Crane hears the story of the Headless Horseman. This is considered the first American Halloween tale. The story in-cludes many of the trademarks of the holiday—ghost stories, a dark night, romance, feasting, and an evil spirit.

But it was the Irish immigrants who came to America in the 1820s and the 1840s and brought with them many of their old tra-ditions and customs who started Halloween here. The Irish creat-ed jack-o-lanterns from turnips and beets. They quickly began using America’s much larger and easier to carve pumpkins for their spooky creations. As the Irish immigrants spread across the nation, their customs merged with existing activities but they gave them their own scary spin.

Victorians eagerly celebrated Halloween with elaborate parties involving costumes, food, and drink, dancing, and games. The haunted house dates back to this period. Victorian hostesses adorned their homes with spooky decorations to set the mood. It was in the 1920s that Halloween evolved into a children’s holiday with trick-or-treating. Because the pranks involved in the holi-day escalated to a greater degree of damage, many communities banned the treat-or-treating part of Halloween. This evolved into cities creating community events to channel destructive energies into more peaceful channels.

Downtown Howe has been cele-brating Howe-lloween as a com-munity event for the last couple of years on the Saturday before the official Halloween date. I think it is a great coming together of the community including downtown merchants, the churches’ trunk-or-treat participation, music, and vendors. And the KHB Chili-Cookoff is an added spicy bonus. Howe Mercantile is going to cele-brate all day with a special store-wide sale as well as a holiday market behind the store on the Cottonwood Creek Pavilion. Sev-eral of our dealers will set up ta-bles of bargains. Our event will start at 10:00 in the morning and go all day and during the Howe-lloween event on Haning Street.

Georgia Caraway owns and oper-ates Howe Mercantile at 107-109 East Haning. SHOP LOCAL. LET US SHOW YOU HOWE.

Texas History Minute The borders of the United States have ex-panded consid-erably since in-dependence was declared. As the nation grew, newer and more detailed maps were needed so the country could plan ahead and uti-lize the land-

scape and resources available. Gen. William Emory, an army cartographer, was a vital part of this process. Emory’s diligent studies and attention to detail not only shaped the borders of the United States but also shaped the borders of Texas and revealed the great wonders of the Upper Rio Grande.

William Hemsley Emory was born in September 1811 in East-ern Maryland. He was extremely bright and as a young man earned an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.

He graduated from West Point in 1831 as a lieutenant and was as-signed to an artillery unit. Look-ing for other opportunities to sat-isfy his curiosity and imagination, he resigned from the service in 1836 to pursue civil engineering. The army, however, lured him back two years later with a unique new program, the Corps of Topo-graphical Engineers. This new unit was in charge of surveying resources and infrastructure for both potential military use and civilian development. He spent the next few years engaged in careful surveys of harbors and rivers on the East Coast. Also in 1838, he married Matilda Bache in Philadelphia. Bache was the great-granddaughter of Benjamin Franklin and the daughter of later Texas State Senator Richard Bache, Jr.

In 1844, Emory arrived in Texas. Though Texas was still independ-ent, Texas was working with the United States in pursuit of annex-ation and invited the Corps of Topographical Engineers into the republic to examine what Texas had to offer. He spent months studying the Upper Rio Grande Valley, producing maps that were invaluable to American forces during the Mexican War two years later and much more accu-rate than had been produced up to that point. His survey of the American-Canadian border be-tween 1844 and 1846 were also a valuable part of the negotiations over the resolution of the Oregon Country dispute and helped final-ize the border between the two nations.

When war erupted against Mexi-co in 1846, he was assigned to join Col. Stephen Kearney in his trek from Kansas to New Mexico and then to California to strip the lightly populated and almost un-defended area away from Mexico. The mission was a tremendous success, and the northern third of Mexico was in American hand in a matter of months. Along the way, Emory continued to make careful surveys and notes of the regions the army marched

through. In the course of the war, Mexican troops never again en-tered Texas. When the war was won in 1848, the Texas border at the Rio Grande was unquestioned, thanks to Emory’s maps.

His efforts would reap huge divi-dends again in 1853 when the United States finalized the Gads-den Purchase from Mexico. The United States had won what is now the southwestern quarter of the country as a result of the Trea-ty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo in 1848. Mexico surrendered the lands from the Rio Grande in central New Mexico (what was then West Texas) across to California and the Pacific. Because of Emory’s surveys, federal officials realized some of the unique features of the area. Just south of the Gila River was a break in the Rocky Moun-tains, an area where the land was relatively smooth. The area was ideal for railroad construction as the concept and ultimate route of the transcontinental railroad be-gan to be discussed. As a result, Ambassador James Gadsden ne-gotiated a new treaty with Mexi-co, paying $10 million for the land that became the southern edges of Arizona and New Mexi-co. Emory’s correspondence with U. S. Senator Thomas Rusk of Texas helped secure the treaty ratification in the Senate.

In 1855, Emory was named head of the International Boundary Commission. His reputation as a scientist and a mapmaker were growing. His two major reports on the geography and wildlife of the Southwest, Notes of a Military Reconnaissance from Fort Leav-enworth to San Diego (1846) and Report of the United States and Mexico Boundary Commission (1859) were major foundations in the later scientific study of the area.

During the Civil War, Emory served with distinction, rising to the rank of general and taking command of the Nineteenth Corps during the Shenandoah Campaign of 1864. He commanded the De-partment of the Gulf during Re-construction, which served in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Missis-sippi. In 1874, as the terroristic White League overthrew the elected government of Louisiana, Emory resorted to diplomacy to convince the coup plotters to re-store the elected government and to peacefully disband. What could easily have escalated ended with-out further bloodshed.

He retired from the army in 1876 and moved east. He died in Wash-ington, DC, in 1887 at age 76. Emory continued to be widely respected by geographers and car-tographers in the years after his passing. Emory Peak in the Big Bend area was named in his honor as well as New Mexico’s Emory Pass. Astronauts also named a crater on the Moon after him dur-ing the 1972 Apollo 17 mission. In the end, his years of study and calculations had an impact that shaped the United States and touched the heavens.

George Müller – a man of faith Night was fall-ing over the har-bor of Bristol, England, and in the orphanage founded by George Müller and his wife Mary, the chil-dren were get-ting ready for bed. George was working in his study when Mary arrived

with alarming news. “We’re out of milk,” she said. “There isn’t enough for the morning oatmeal.” He slowly laid aside his pen and had a look of calmness. This was not the first time they faced a crit-ical situation without any money to buy food and other supplies. The pastor rose from his desk and reached for his wife’s hand. “Mary,” he said, “let us pray.” Two orphanage employees joined them, and together they made their humble yet necessary re-quest to God as innocent children were depending on them for sus-tenance. George declared, “Be assured, if you walk with Him and look to Him and expect help from Him, He will never fail you.” A short time had passed and there was heard a knock on the door. Mary hurried to answer, re-turning to the study a moment later. She handed her husband an envelope. “It’s a letter, George. Hurry up and open it.” Enclosed was a sum of money, more than enough for their immediate needs. Within a few moments, two more letters arrived with money and pledges of support. Miraculous responses to prayer had become a common experience for the Mül-ler’s.

They had taken the step of faith to bring in their first group of thirty girls in 1836, and in a short peri-od of time, their orphanage now housed over a hundred. From the beginning, George was deter-mined to never to ask for funds from people or to borrow money but instead making an agreement with God that he would depend on Him alone for every need, trusting wholly in the Lord’s faithfulness and provision. The passage that he was constantly quoting was Philippians 4:19, “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” As a self-proclaimed “poor man,” re-

garding good works and holiness, George was well aware of what he lacked spiritually. He had grown up the privileged, arrogant son of a lawyer and routinely, drank, gambled and skipped out on bills. However, as revealed in his auto-biography, one night he attended a prayer meeting, and Christ changed his life completely. He gave away his library of over three hundred books and kept on-ly one, the Holy Bible, as it was now his only focus. One night while praying and seeking the Lord regarding the orphanage, he heard a voice in his spirit say, “Open thy mouth wide and I will fill it.” He believed God was en-couraging and inviting him to simply ask for what he needed and so a miraculous journey of faith began. Now as a pastor, he decided to live without a salary, relying only on money given to him. He learned to pray faithfully from his heart, humbly asking his Heavenly Father to provide and equip them to accomplish God’s will.

Eventually, the Müller’s built five homes, costing more than $100,000 to build, which is over $14,000,000 in today’s value. Very few such places like these existed as many orphans lived on the streets or went to poorhouses, where they were treated like slaves. In the Müller homes, each child was tenderly cared for, clothed, fed, and educated, with Christian instruction as the bed-rock. When they left the orphan-age in their late teens, they went on to live productive lives. He also went on to establish six chil-dren’s schools and in 1834 he founded the Scriptural Knowledge Institute. Even with him refusing to agree or accept any type of loans or debt for the Lord’s work, the ministry continued to prosper abundantly. By 1880 the ministry was now responsible for 72-day schools with 7000 students in Bristol as well as others in Italy, Spain, and South America. Mül-ler’s journal is filled with amazing stories about how the Lord di-rected finances to them through-out his sixty-six years of service. He raised these funds on his knees as many lives were changed through unwavering and persis-tent prayer and he always gave God all the honor and glory for all that was accomplished. His sin-cere trust in the Bible inspires all of us to believe and depend on God to meet our needs. “Ask and

it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall

be opened unto you” Matthew 7:7.

Verse of the week 1 John 4:18-19

18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love

drives out fear, because fear has to do with pun-

ishment. The one who fears is not made perfect

in love. 19 We love because he first loved us.


How Does the Impeachment In-quiry Affect My Investments?

Hi Taylor - I read a lot of “market dips as investors weigh impeachment” headlines, and I’m wondering how much this mess might affect my retirement

account. Should I be concerned? - Randy Hey Randy - This is a great question because the answer is much more involved than those headlines. News sources want you to click on their articles, so the tagline will always be a bit over the top even when the content of the article is pretty unassuming. From an investment standpoint, we can look at impeachment in a few different ways. First, it’s a big distraction from the other things that actually do have a direct impact on the economy. The trade war with China has much more relevance to all of our retirement accounts than an impeachment inquiry, but we won’t hear as much talk of that while news outlets focus on the latest story. In the meantime, you’ll see much greater rises and falls within the market when trade talks resume or get called off, even if that doesn’t dominate the headlines. Naturally, markets will move around based on investors' assessment of whether or not the president will remain in office. Many industries and corporations have benefitted from this administration’s economic policies; any fear that these proceedings will impede the president’s ability to govern could have an impact on those market shares. I don’t think every sector will react in the same way, but I

Taylor

Kovar

do expect to see more down days than up as the process unfolds. Finally, we’ll have to see how long the proceedings drag on. As long as we’re stuck in political gridlock, it should come as no surprise when the market stumbles a little. At the same time, you’ll see examples of how resilient the economy is, as we’ll have days where the news cycle is absolutely bananas and yet the Dow goes up 100 points. While the news ticker might talk about impeachment 24/7, the stock market will continue to react to other stories and events that might not make everyone’s radars. In the long run, your retirement account is fine. It might seem as though this event drives the country toward undue economic hardship, but much of that could be the market receding as it naturally would. This divisiveness isn’t fun for anyone, but no one should be emptying their IRAs for fear of a full economic collapse. Buckle in and expect some bumps in the ride, but contribute to your retirement as you normally would and trust the markets to persevere. Thanks for the question, Randy!

Living with children “What do you do when your baby cries?” I asked the 20-something new mom who was already feeling overwhelmed and beginning to slip into post-partum depres-sion. Her moth-er-in-law had suggested she talk to someone

and recommended yours truly.

“I pick him up,” she said.

“You always, when he cries, pick him up?” I asked.

“Yes, always.” “And when you pick him up, then what?”

“Well,” she said, “I try to get him to stop, you know, I walk with him, bouncing up and down, and I sing to him, and I talk to him, try-ing to comfort him.”

“So,” I said, “he cries, and you walk him and sing to him and bounce him up and down.”

“Yes.”

“And he seems to be crying more and more.”

“Yes.”

“Do you like ice cream?”

“I love ice cream, chocolate chip mint mostly.”

“If you discovered that the only way you could get chocolate chip mint ice cream was to scream at the top of your lungs and jump up and down like a lunatic, what would you do?”

She looked at me for a few mo-ments as the wheels turned. Then, “Oh.”

“Yes,” I said. “Oh. With the very best of intentions, you’re creating an ice cream monster who can’t get enough of your ice cream. The more you give, the more he wants. You use drugs?”

“Do I use drugs? No! I’ve never even smoked pot!”

“Good, but here’s the deal: You’re already setting precedents that may well cause you to be-come a legal drug user. If you don’t stop thinking that it’s your job to keep your son from crying, then I predict – mind you, I

Rosemond

flunked fortune telling in graduate school, so this is nothing but a very experienced speculation – I predict you’ll be on at least two psychiatric drugs before he’s three, one for depression and one for anxiety. You don’t want that.”

“No, I don’t want that.”

“Then you have to let him cry, not always, constantly, of course, but sometimes you are just going to have to walk away from him when he’s crying.”

“Walk away? I’ve started carrying him around in one of those front pouches.”

“I bet he loves that.”

“Seems to, yes.”

“That’s fine if you’re going out somewhere, but it’s not fine for you to carry him around in a pouch all day long so that he won’t cry. That’s like putting him on an ice cream drip. Use the pouch only when you’re going somewhere. Furthermore, as soon as he can hold his head up reason-ably well, switch to a baby back-pack so he can look around at the world while you’re doing your thing.”

“I read an article about high-need babies and he fits the description. It said I should, it said ‘wear him.’”

“That’s attachment parenting bunk-ola. It’s bunk-ola that’s go-ing to make it very difficult for him to accept anything less than being worn by you. Wearing him like you’re still pregnant with him is another bad precedent. Sweetie, babies cry. They cry because that’s what they do. Some do it more than others, but they all need to learn that their mommies are not at the beck and call, and the sooner, the better,for both ba-by and mommy.”

Howe had a punt blocked which led to an easy Wildcat score when Drake Hurley scored on a 12-yard jet sweep to make it 55-21.

Howe took home the final score of the game on a 36-yard run by Wil-liams with 2:08 left. The Bulldogs nearly scored on the final play of the game as Haley threw a deep bomb to Windon that went through his fingertips in the en-dzone.

Howe will travel to Pottsboro (6-0; 2-0) next Friday where they currently have a 9-game losing streak dating back to a 20-13 win back in 2010. Howe hasn't won at Pottsboro since 1988.
