building things so that's nice."

A sense of a renewed enthusiamshas crept into the program, saysBand President Mikayla Doty."There are a lot of freshmen thisyear, so that brings a newness andthere's more excitement in the air.There's a lot of unknowns. Thereare people that you can work withand make new things happen,whereas before it was the samepeople doing the same thing."

The football team experiences two-a-days, but the band programactually schedules three-a-days tobegin their season. They went 9 am- noon, 1 pm - 4 pm, and 6 pm - 9pm last week.

"We're seeing a lot of good thingsand our leaders are phenomenalsaid Band Director Angie Liss."They are taking care of thingswhich has made it a lot easier on usas directors. We can concentrate onthe band stuff."

The program this year will becalled "Stained Glass" which is inthe classic style with a song called,"Sanctuary" - a contemporarypiece. The program is also basedon some old hymn tunes such asBeethoven's "9th Ode to Joy" whichis the same as "Joyful Joyful" in thefaith community. It will have a"Sister Act" flavor to it.

"I think our crowd is going to likeit," said Liss. "Its got a little bit ofthe classical thing that we alwaystry to do. We'll have beautiful

props that are being manufacturedright now to be stained glasswindows.

Liss is hesitant to use the term "stateyear" due to superstition, insteadprefers "advancement year."

"Since we got sent home last time,there's a lot of kids here that knowswhat it feels like," said Liss. "Youkind of run in cycles and there for awhile we didn't go for a couple ofcycles and then we went for threecycles in a row. In 2015, we wereso so close that these kids don't wantto miss it again."

Longtime Band Directors ElmerSchenk and Mike Marsh are helpingin the afternoons for a couple ofhours.

Liss says that the band will have thetypical 75 band members whenadding the eighth graders.

"We're still a little smaller than theVan Alstynes and the Whitesborosof the world, but we just don't haveas many students as they do," saidLiss. "It's a numbers game."

It won't be long before "The Pride ofHowe" will be marching on the fieldon Friday nights displaying theirnew "Stained Glass" theme withHawaiian shirts and crazy socks athing of the past. The freshmanclass may be wide-eyed, but theirstarry gazes into the bright Fridaynight lights have inspired the juniorsand seniors to accomplish a fourthstate "advancement" championship.

EDC Director MonteWalker told the council that ScottNorris of Tomlin Investmentsstated to him that the worst casescenario would be for it to becompleted in 36 months.

"They knew coming into it thatthey would have to develop asewer plant," said Shephard."Who ends up controlling it onceit's done is something we'll haveto work out in the future."

Stanley stated that the city wouldlike to see Tomlin partner withanother developer and construct alarger sewer facility.

"Developers can get anapplication for a sewer plant a lotquicker than we can," saidStanley.

Councilman Bill French asked indiscussion if there was a way toreduce the water cost to thecitizens immediately. Stanley saidthat it could be possible, but thecity has accumulated so muchdebt on the water contract that hewould like to see that figurediminished before passing on thesavings. The city will also have tospend over $100,000 to get thenew valves and taps for the new

surface water to be installed to thesystem.

"Once we have that up andrunning, we'll have about$150,000 savings per year on thatline," said Stanley. "But that firstyear we won't have that savingsbecause we'll be spending$100,000 of it on valves. Butonce we get into that $150,000savings, we can definitely lookinto passing that on to thecustomers"

Sam Haigis also brought up streetrepair and would like to see agreater portion of the money puttowards street repair.

"I hate to bring this up, but peopleon Cassandra (street) really getafter me about that trench at FM902. It just keeps getting deeperand deeper," said Haigis. "I'veseen other cities and incomparison we're not doing bad,but we still need to keep on top ofit."

Councilman Jonathan Colemanexpressed his desire for a budgetto be set aside for the parks andballfields to be well maintained.

Howe Interim Police ChiefMichael Hill, who was first on thescene, initially thought the wreckwas fatal. But Hardy said if itwasn’t for the quick response ofpolice officers, fire and EMS- some of whom he trained - heprobably wouldn’t be here today.

“It's very ironic,” Hardy said. “Ifany hands had to show up and takecare of me, if it couldn't be mybrothers here, I’m glad it was just

somebody that I was responsiblefor teaching skills that they broughtwith them that day."

Hardy spent two months inrehabilitation after hishospitalization. He returned towork in February. He thanked thefirst responders Tuesday whereofficers from Howe and VanAlstyne Police Departments and aCareflight EMS crew memberreceived plaques.

We do not have to look very far tofind someone that needs a miracle.There are lots of people who aresuffering some type of crisis witheverything from health problems,their children, and grieving over aloss, to finances, marriage issuesand addictions. When we see andhear about difficulties, we becomesympathetic, but how often do weconsider that God may havebrought these individuals to ourattention so that we can not onlypray but to intervene and helpmeet their needs? Instead of justdiscussing the situation and havingpity, maybe we are their miracleand the answer to their prayers.We can remain the spectator likealways or with God’s power wecan become a participator and anagent of change!

Remember the times you havebeen discouraged or in trouble andyou cried out for God to pleasesend somebody to help? Ifsomeone responded, you knewthey were a Godsend, right? If noone came, we assumed they weretoo busy or maybe just did notwant to take the time or money tobecome involved. I believe ourreactions toward others revealmore about us than we care tothink about. It seems that mostpeople are convinced this life istheir own to do whatever theywant and I can understand thispoint of view for a non-Christian.However, for those who arefollowers of Jesus Christ, the Bibleclearly explains our way ofthinking is to radically change

our responsibility is to makeourselves available. Jesus told aparable in Luke chapter ten about aman who was attacked by thievesand was left beside the road nearlydead. Two different men passed by(one of them a minister) and yetboth ignored him. Then aSamaritan man found him andliterally saved his life. The goodSamaritan became the wounded

man’s miracle and presents thequestion that is worthy ofconsideration; are we the one whopasses by or the one who becomesinvolved?

from only concentrating aboutourselves to obeying God as ourhighest priority. This renewing ofour mind will produce generosityand compassion as we develop awillingness to become more likeChrist in His attributes andcharacter. I Corinthians 6:19-20says, “What? Do you not knowthat your body is the temple of theHoly Ghost which is in you, whichyou have of God, and you are notyour own? For you are bought witha price: therefore, glorify God inyour body, and in your spirit,which are God’s.” When we acceptthe covenant of salvation, we areletting go of our selfishindependence in order to becomesensitive to God and the needs ofothers.

The Bible refers to those who areGod’s children as instruments andvessels of honor. The idea of beingused by the Master of the universeis a privilege and something thatshould not be taken lightly. Forthose who are serious aboutbecoming a disciple for Christ, wecan learn how to listen for Hisvoice and develop our spiritualawareness. He may be guiding andpreparing us to present a Biblescripture with a friend at work ormaybe to share our heart in a letterto a loved one that we areconcerned about. There are somany opportunities all around uswhere we could bringencouragement. I know there aretimes in my life where I could haveused someone’s kindness. It feelsgood to know that someone caresenough to make an intentionaleffort to bless us as we all desire tofeel loved and respected. There is apassage in Galatians chapter sixthat talks about our deeds beinglike seeds and that we all reapaccording to what we sow.Applying this spiritual principal toour life, we can see how importantit is to reach out to others in thesame way we would like them tocare about us. If you need amiracle, become someone’smiracle, if you desire to have morefriends, go out of your way to befriendly, and if you want to beloved, ask God to help you learnhow to love.

Trained as an artist at the JulianSchool in Chicago and the ChaseSchool in New York City, Mrs.Woods put her love of history andher interest in the Native Americantribal culture to create her dolls.She spent time on severalreservations to learn more abouttheir lifestyle and culture. Shepainted Indian portraits on leatherthat were sold to tourists inPortland.

Dolls by Mary Frances Woodshave an eerily realistic and livingquality about their faces. Her earlydolls had painted leather faces withweathered luminous skin andpiercing beady black eyes. Laterdolls had molded mask facescreated from light brown crepepaper over plaster. The texture ofthe paper gave the effect of theseemingly weathered look that theearlier leather-faced dolls had. Theeye sockets were shaded withbrown and the cheeks wereairbrushed with red coloring.Facial details such as nostrils,eyebrows, eyeliner, and linesaround the mouth area werehandpainted. The pupils of theeyes were made with stickpins withblack beaded heads. The whitepart of the eye set off the blackpupil effectively.

The blankets folded around theWoods’ dolls are similar to theblankets around the Skookumsfigures. It gives the impression ofthe dolls’ arms being folded underthe blanket. Wooden feet arenailed onto a one-half-inch dowelsection for ankles. Feet and anklesare fastened to a wooden disk thathas been set into a cardboard tube.This cardboard tube forms the bodyup to the waist. The upper body isformed of cloth and stuffed withfine sawdust. The back of the headis made of stuffed cloth as well.The wigs appear to be made ofhuman hair.

The most famous of the souvenirIndian dolls made between the1920s and 1940s were theSkookum Indian dolls made by theArrow Novelty Company in NewYork City. These were favoritesamong traveling Americans tobring home as a remembrance oftheir trip West.

The first doll heads were made ofdried apples. Due to the short lifeof apples the heads were later madeof composition and then plastic.Native American blankets werewrapped around frames leavingvery little body to be seen. Manywere marked with a paper labelthat reads “Skookum Bully GoodIndian.” The papoose in the photohas a sweet celluloid face. Thewool covering is tied with sweetgrass. Sometimes the dolls werestuffed with grass as well.

Texas History Minute

H. Bentley Glass was at one timeone of the most famous scientistsin the nation. His life was ajourney that began with missionaryparents and a Texas education.Glass traveled the world, wrotevolumes of books, made importantscientific discoveries, and in the1950s and 1960s, helped the entirenation start thinking about scienceand the ethics of the latestdiscoveries.

His parents, both devout Baptists,were from Texas and went toChina to serve as missionaries.Glass was born in Yeshien, ineastern China, in 1906. Because ofhis parent’s work serving thespiritual and physical needs of thepeople of China, he spent most ofhis childhood there.

When it was time to start college,Glass moved to Texas. He enrolledat Decatur Baptist College inDecatur before transferring toBaylor University in Waco. Afterearning a bachelors degree inbiology, he taught school briefly inthe small town of Timpson in EastTexas. He returned to Baylor tocomplete a masters degree inbiology before enrolling at theUniversity of Texas where heearned his doctorate in genetics in1932.

He went to Berlin for a few yearsto conduct research at the KaiserWilhelm Institute, where he wasdisturbed by the purge of Jewsfrom academic and researchpositions as Nazi rule took root.He left Germany quickly andworked briefly as a researcher inMissouri before beginning teachingat Stephens College in centralMissouri. Before long, he accepteda position at Goucher College inBaltimore, Maryland.

Dr. Bridges is a Texas native,writer, and history professor. Hecan be reached [email protected].

Dr. Ken Bridges

In 1948, Glass became a professorof genetics at the prestigious JohnsHopkins University in Baltimore.He became an active member ofthe community and served on theBaltimore Board of SchoolCommissioners from 1954 to1958, guiding the local schoolsthrough the early years ofdesegregation. Glass also steadilybuilt a reputation amongacademics and the general publicalike for his work. Throughout hiscareer, he wrote upwards of 500academic articles. Glass publishedGenes and The Man in 1943 toexplain genetics to a wideraudience. He served as editor ofthe Quarterly Review of Biologyfor 42 years from 1944 until 1986.He also served as editor of therespected journal Science in 1953.In addition, he wrote a column onscience issues for the BaltimoreEvening Sun.

His scientific work includeddeveloping theories on geneticdrift, or how often changes in traitsappear within a given population.He also served on the AtomicEnergy Commission as an advisorin the 1950s on issues surroundingthe impact of radiation on livingorganisms. It was Glass whoimplanted the idea in the Americanimagination that roaches, withtheir abilities to withstandradiation, may be the onlysurvivors of a nuclear holocaust.

He was outspoken on a variety ofscientific issues. He called fornuclear disarmament in the 1960s.He condemned eugenics laws thatsterilized groups for perceivedgenetic weaknesses. He served apresident of more than half adozen scientific groups throughouthis career. As he had throughoutmuch of his career, he continued towrite and speak about ethicalissues in science and research,publishing Science and EthicalValues in 1965 and The EthicalBasis of Science in 1969.

Glass took controversial stands.He served as president of theMaryland chapter of the AmericanCivil Liberties Union from 1955 to1965. Some of his predictions,such as his belief that people mayone day have to undergo genetictesting before they had children,caused much controversy as wellas his prediction of the advent oftest-tube babies.

In 1965, Glass left Johns Hopkinsto take the role of academic vice-president and biology professor atthe State University of New York

at Stony Brook. He continued towork to educate not only the nextgeneration of scientists but thepublic at large. In 1967, he stated inan interview, “If we are going tobuild a civilization based on science,then the man in the street is going tohave to learn what science is.”

He stepped down from hisadministrative role in 1971 andretired from teaching in 1976 at theage of 70, but he continued to work.His mind and drive remainedstrong. For the next 19 years, heworked as an archivist at the

a

American Philosophical Library inPhiladelphia, commuting more than100 miles each way from his homeoutside New York City toPennsylvania. At the age of 89, heretired for good. He lived a quietlife in retirement in Boulder,Colorado. He died one day beforehis ninety-ninth birthday in 2005.He left a large legacy in the popularmind about science, having workedfor his lifelong goals he describedas “educating laymen in thequesting spirit of science andreminding science of its socialresponsibility."

It appears that the cross countrywill be a varsity-only sport. Thetwo girls in the program areexpecting to have phenomenalyears. Bethany Master andKristian Southerland have hadprevious success in both crosscountry and track. Southerlandmissed the first week of workoutsbecause of her attendance at across country camp. She movedhere a year ago from North Lamarwhere they went to state for threeyears.

"She's getting a lot of running in

right now," said Martin ofSoutherland. "She's probably gettinga lot more running in than we are.I'm not worried about her."

Martin hopes to approve upon thelearning curve that last season wasfor him and the team.

"We've set our expectations a littlebit higher than we did a year ago,"said Martin.

Bethany Masters won theSoutheastern Cross Country Meet ayear ago before an injury cut herseason short.

"With her and Kristian, I expect a lotout of those two," said Martin. "Iexpect a lot out of Ryan (Carney)too.
