Today is National LostPenny Day. Lost Penny Daywas created by"eventologist" AdrienneSioux Koopersmith in 1995.According to Koopersmith:“Petty change can make anastounding difference."Perhaps now Koopersmithwould consider renaming itto "National Lost CrumbsDay" in honor of HouseMinority Leader NancyPelosi.

Our research did not uncovera presidential proclamationor act of congress, declaringthis to be a true "National"day, but go out there andpick up those pennies. Mygrandfather always said topick them up because it wasa day's worth of free interest.

Read last week that a 9-year-old Girl Scout in Californiawas in trouble for selling herGirl Scout Cookies on thesidewalk in front of UrbanLeaf marijuana dispensary.Her dad says they sold morethan 300 boxes in about sixhours outside the store overthe weekend. Now that, myfriends, is an entrepreneur! Ithink her future is in v-necksoutside a Greenwich Villagecoffee house.

We received an anonymousletter written in crayon abouta student that was being abully. After thinking aboutit, I bet we could send thatanonymous letter to theFISA courts and have theFBI start spying on thatbully. It should be enoughevidence these days.

with Alba-Golden. But it wasn'tthe first time Lands has taken ayoung team to the playoffs, as amatter of fact, this is the secondrecent cycle of talent that hasfiltered through the system sincethe 2012-13 season. Back in thosedays, the team was led by a youngnucleus of Riley Harvey, DarciFoster, Alissa Smith, and HollyHawkins. They ripped throughdistrict as if they had no idea howyoung they were. Blending intothe mix of those talented playerscame freshman Peyton Streetmanin the 2014-15 season to bolster analready potent roster. By the timeeverything came together for the2015-16 season, the Lady Bulldogsput together a serious run that hadthem state-ranked. They went 24-8that season which capped off athree-year run with a 67-26 recordand four bi-district titles.

After going 19-11 a year ago afterbeing decimated by graduation, theteam full of youngsters collectedanother gold first round trophy.And now, it's Streetman who is theveteran senior leading scorer whois mixing with sophomore startersAlly Harvey and Jenna Honore.

But this year's version of the LadyBulldogs don't rely heavily on justyoung players. Streetman has bighelp from senior Payton Griffinand junior Calley Vick. But thebench is full of additional qualified

sophomores in Cassidy Anderson,and Molly Wilson as well asfreshman Marissa Agee and others.The run of success should last forawhile due to the young talentmentioned as well as a freshmanclass that already had twoadditional players called up fordistrict experience in SierraCopeland and Katie Grogan.

But the run of success has onecommon denominator and that isLands, the head coach. Coming offof a season of surgeries and healthuncertainty a year ago, the long-tenured soft-spoken, slow-walkingLands is the steady influence that,with he and his wife Shannon(middle school girls coach), hasbuilt one of the best girls basketballincubators in the state.

"I decided a long time ago, after I'dbeen here a couple of years, thatplaying fast and uptempo is theway we needed to play and the waywe've been successful said Lands ina 2016 interview with the HoweEnterprise. "Anybody can out-hustle people."

In that same interview two yearsago, Lands said he believed thateveryone on the team has a rolewhether its the leading scorer or aplayer gathering only a fewminutes per game. That was veryevident last season when he

The Howe Bulldogs may have notproduced the season that theywanted, but they did produce twolarge pieces of the team that nowdrew football scholarships and willplay football beyond high school.Ty Harvey committed to MissouriSouthern State University where hewill join Matt Griffin, a formerBulldog teammate. Clay Marshall,Howe's offensive lineman alsocommitted to SoutheasternOklahoma State University.

Howe's Defensive CoordinatorMike Segleski said that Harvey is asmart kid who was able playmultiple sports with a great abilityto understand the game.

"The questions that he would ask infootball made a lot of sense andyou could understand what histhinking was." said Segleski. "Ijust love his athletic ability for hissize. A lot of guys with his size area little awkward, but he's sosmooth."

Segleski said having Harvey splitout wide gave the the team moreoptions due to his 6'-6" size andthinks he has a big future as heworks in that role.

Harvey made visits to West TexasA&M, Abilene Christian, andStephen F. Austin University, butnone felt the same as MSSUaccording to Harvey.

"When I went up there on a visit,he (Matt Griffin) was my chauffeur

and showed me around the placeand I really fell in love with Joplinso it was a pretty easy decision."

Harvey, with a large family, saidthat it will be different not havingthem around him, but hopes thathe'll be busy enough with schooland football that it won't allow himto dwell on it.

Playing basketball is not an optionfor Harvey as the coaches told himthat he will not have enough timeto put on the weight needed to playcollege basketball. One footballplayer for MSSU does play on thebasketball team, but he alreadyweighs 250 pounds.

"I'm starting a new chapter in mylife and I'm excited to go on thebigger and better things," saidHarvey.

Marshall also drew big praise fromSegleski who said that while hedidn't play a lot of defense, theywould put him in during bigmoments of the ball game.

"Clay would take control of theoffense or defense, which ever sideof the ball he was on," saidSegleski about his leadershipability. "On the offensive line, thecenter has got to be the guy to seeboth sides. It's hard for the righttackle to see the left tackle. Thecenter should see it all to not miss atechnique and he was a key

$11,265 was totalled which was anincrease over $1,742 more than lastyear's event.

"It looks like we've had a lot morebuyers this evening and a lot moremoney," said Duffee immediatelyfollowing the event on Saturdaynight at Howe High School whichturned out 168 paid tickets. "Wewere concerned with the weatherthat we'd have less people, but I'mgoing to say that we probably had50 to 75 more people this year thanwe've had in the past."

Duffee said that the event would notbe possible without the students,parents, local businesses fordonating items, and Mr. and Mrs.Blum for their hard work. He alsoremarked that there are a lot offormer Howe FFA students thatcome back to the event purely tohelp fund the next generation.

However, Mosse and companycontinued grinding. Seniors TyHarvey and Clay Marshall battledBolin all night and playedexceptionally well on the defensiveside of the court.

Behind Mosse's 18 points, Harveytotalled 12 on the night and pointguard junior Elijah Campbell added10 as he drove the lane onnumerous occasions. FreshmanNoah Campbell finished with sevenpoint including going 3-for-3 ongame icing free throws late in thefourth period. James Cowin and JDThornton also contributed twopoints each.

Howecame up victorious by a 51-45score thanks mostly to a 10-0 runto finish the first half with a 27-19lead. The low scoring was due towhat seemed to be a throwback toa 1988-style contest of twohalfcourt offenses. In this day andage, it was almost strange to seeboth offenses bringing the ball upthe court uncontested.

The Dogs were energizedthroughout the night by seniorWinston Mosse who came up bigwith key steals in the second halfto go along with his team leading18 points. A lot of his points cameoff of those steals that turned intolayups on the other end of thefloor.

Someone said, “Our lives aredefined by opportunities, includingthe ones we miss. Let us not weepover chances we have missed, butrather for the ones we did nottake.” When I look back over mylife, I can see where I’ve madeplenty of mistakes and I’ve alsomissed out on some wonderfulopportunities. Maybe you aresaying the same thing. If so, Iencourage you to resist thetemptation to live in regret.Humans are fallible creatures andwe all make wrong choices but atleast our disappointment revealsthat we care and that’s a goodthing. James Joyce said, “mistakesare the portals of discovery” andthere is no doubt they can be asignificant part of our learningprocess. I realize that living indenial is much easier thanforgiving ourselves but repentanceis a more worthwhile endeavorthan living with the overwhelmingfeelings of guilt andcondemnation. The truth is we caneither embrace the inclination toallow these negative thoughts tohaunt us and flood our heart withsadness or we can resist thisemotional torture by calling on theLord to heal our heart and renewour mind. God’s plans and waysare bigger than our mistakes andlost opportunities. He is not onlyready to forgive and restore us, Hecan fill our life with confidence,hope, and victory!

It’s common when suffering fromregret, to be reminded of certainindividuals that we secretly blamefor our failures. However, as the


love? We know that nothing isimpossible with God and His Wordcannot fail. Psalm 103:11-12 is oneof the greatest promises about oursecurity and filled with the hopefor all eternity. “For as the heavenis high above the earth, so great isHis mercy toward them that fear

Him. As far as the east is from thewest, so far has He removed ourtransgressions from us.”

water is long gone under thebridge, there is no need to hold onand replay the scenarios of whatcould have been – you’ve sufferedenough. It’s important to considerthat walking around in thisnegative and stressful state of mindcan lead to depression, anxiety,and even physical health problems.It would be wise to make a list ofthose we need to forgive andsincerely pray while making sureour name is at the top. You see,unforgiveness holds us in aspiritual and mental prison andgiving it over to God is the key thatopens the door to freedom. We arethe only one that can choose to putan end to us living in the misery ofan unchangeable past. AliceWalker said, “The most commonway people give up their power isby thinking they do not have any.”The Bible refers to the devil as the“the accuser” of the brethren andthis is where these negative voicesare coming from. Some may try topretend these situations neverhappened or that maybe they willall just go away which sounds nice,but running away from reality doesnot work. Being honest with Godand ourselves is the pathway topeace.

I love what the Apostle Paul said,“This one thing I do; forgettingthose things which are behind, Ireach forth to the things which arebefore me.” He is encouraging usto not only concentrate on thepresent but also look to the futureand be sensitive to newopportunities. We have a tendencyto deal with our problems our ownway, but God wants to help us dealwith this once and for all. Let goand allow Him to give you abrand-new start as He’s ready tofulfill the dreams and desires He’splaced in your heart. He loves usand longs to forgive us and torestore our dreams that seem to belost forever. He can create newopportunities in ways we couldnever imagine. I believe ourheavenly Father desires to restorethe years that you’ve lost and giveyou a new vision and a fresh zealto fulfill your destiny. Beingpositive and optimistic about yourfuture is a deliberate decision. Willyou sincerely believe you areforgiven and accept the spiritualreality that you are worthy of His

Dr. Georgia Caraway

This week I am continuing myexploration of Texas collectibleswith some fun topics.

The bluebonnet can be found on allsorts of tourism souvenir items, butone subject of particular interest isthe state flower depicted on Texaspottery. William Meyer and FranzSchultz established Meyer Potteryin Atascosa in 1887. They madejugs, churns, mugs, poultryfountains, ant traps, and in theforties and fifties smallbluebonnet-decorated souvenirpieces.

Texas kitsch art is also a goodsource for finding amateurpaintings of bluebonnets from the1940s and 1950s. Matching hand-painted inexpensive woodenframes usually surrounded thesepaintings. In some cases on theselittle paintings, instead of thebluebonnet, we have another Texasicon--the Alamo.

The Alamo is perhaps the mostfamous of the Texas landmarks,known throughout the world for theheroism of its defenders and themission’s distinctly recognizablearchitectural shape. Thousands ofexamples of items can be found withthe Alamo’s façade painted,inscribed, printed, or etched onthem. I own a kitschy paintedvelvet Alamo pillow cover that myMom converted it into a lovelypurse. You can imagine thecomments I get about this pursewhen I carry it.

A. Harris of Dallas contracted withImperial Glass Company in 1936 toproduced a glass platter of theAlamo for the Texas Centennial forexclusive distribution through theirstore. When the Centennial yearwas over, the mold was destroyed sothat no other copies could be made.Other Centennial Imperial Glasspieces offered included a matchingglass creamer and sugar bowl. TheTexas Centennial Exposition ran for178 days, from June 6 to November30, 1936. The celebration markedthe 100-year anniversary of Texas’sindependence from Mexico. Dallascampaigned to hold the celebrationthere and the city’s offer to put up$10 million was accepted. Withsome federal, state and privatedonor money, about $25 million wasraised. Fifty buildings were erectedin Fair Park with the Hall of Statebeing the centerpiece. AlthoughCentennial celebrations took placeall over the state, the Dallas expooutshone them all. Thousands ofdifferent items were made for theCentennial, many of them are crosscollectibles into other categories:postcards, salt and pepper shakers,ashtrays, jewelry, Czechoslovakianplates illustrating Texas themes, areplica of a Colt .45 six-shooter,parasols, dishes and bowls adornedwith bluebonnets, sheet music for“Come on Down to Texas,” walking

sticks, sunbonnets, license plates,mason jars, doorstops, SwankySwigs, playing cards, hats,miniature buildings, calendars,pincushion shoes, pottery andsouvenir spoons to name just afew.

Souvenir spoons are a universalcollectible. Texas spoons fromnearly every town and hamlethave been produced in sterlingand silverplate. You will finddemitasse size examples fromHuntsville, Sherman, Galveston,Austin, Plano, San Antonio, andDallas. Many spoons areadvertising items for businessessuch as the Arthur A. Evertsjewelry firm and the TexasCentennial.

Personal apparel also is popularamong collectors.

White was buried with fullmilitary honors at West Point andwas given many honors in the


Texas History Minute

Ed White was one of a very fewpeople to enjoy a great privilege, toserve as an astronaut. Hisadventures became one of the greatjoys of his life. It was a life,however, that would be cut shortby a tragic accident.

Edward Higgins White II was bornin San Antonio in November 1930.His father, Ed White, Sr., was anearly Army Air Corps pilot wholater rose to the rank of majorgeneral in the United States AirForceHe knew from early on thatflying was what he wanted to do.At the age of 12, his fathermanaged to sneak him onto a T-6training plane and even let him flyit on his own for a few moments.“It felt like the most natural thingin the world to do,” he laterrecalled.

After he graduated from highschool in 1948, he earned anappointment to the United StatesMilitary Academy at West Point.He completed a bachelors degreeand was commissioned as alieutenant and transferred into theair force. From 1953 until 1956,White served as a fighter pilot onF-86 and F-100 jets in WestGermany.

He later stated that an article onspace flight inspired him to changethe direction of his career. Hetransferred back to the UnitedStates and earned a masters degreein aeronautical engineering at theUniversity of Michigan in 1959 tobolster his credentials. He thenjoined the test pilot program.Though initially not an astronaut,White helped with the training ofthe original Mercury astronauts byperforming sharp aerial maneuversin air force cargo planes thatsimulated the zero gravityenvironment of outer space.

White became part of NASA’ssecond group of astronauts in 1962and moved to Houston to work atthe Manned Space Center (later

renamed the Lyndon B. JohnsonSpace Center). His trainingcontinued, with emphasis not onlyon aspects of flight and safety butthe science behind space flight.

White and astronaut JamesMcDivitt were assigned to theGemini 4 mission, which launchedon June 3, 1965. On this four-dayorbital mission, White became thefirst American to perform a spacewalk, leaving the confines of theGemini capsule for twenty minuteswhile the capsule sped along atmore than 17,500 miles per hour.The two traveled more than 1.6million miles by the time Gemini 4splashed down on June 7.

NASA raced forward with itsambitious plans to send men to theMoon. The Apollo program wasthe final step. Engineersenvisioned a multi-step processthat would propel a multi-stagerocket into orbit that would send acapsule with a crew of threeastronauts the rest of the way tothe Moon. At the Moon, a smalllander module would detach fromthe command module to bringastronauts to the surface and backto the orbiting command module.From there, the command modulewould return the crew to Earth.However, it was all very advancedequipment that required immenseamounts of testing and planning.

White was assigned to the Apollo1 capsule in 1966 along withastronauts Roger Chaffee and GusGrissom.

Theastronauts reacted quickly, but itwas already too late. Whitereached for the escape hatch butcould not open it. The smoke andthe flames took the lives of thethree.

This was the first loss of a crew inNASA history. An investigationsoon determined the cause andhorrible series of design flaws thatonly made the situation worse.
