Howe's That
by Monte Walker
What a week for Howe. The
Bulldogs became frontrunners in District 5-3A with
their win over Gunter and
snapped an 11-game losing
streak to the Tigers that
resided in three different
decades. The marching band
dominated in competition
against much bigger
schools. And to top things
off, the city now is a shuttle
home to the eighth largest
food distributor in the
country in Ben E. Keith Co.

If there was still any lingering
feelings of Howe being an underdog
or a surprise team, that officially
ended Friday night with the win
over Gunter. The transformation to
a front-runner mentality will require
an entirely different attitude from
the 'Dogs. Some teams handle that
transition well and others never can
make the adjustment. If there is any
indication that they will be able to
handle it, a glimpse could be seen in

huge way by naming part of
Highway 82 after him." April Key
said in a released statement.
"Thank you to everyone involved in
making this happen, especially to

“Proverbs will teach you wisdom
and self-control and how to
understand sayings with deep
meanings. You will learn what is
right, honest and fair. From these,
an ordinary person can learn to be
smart, and young people can gain
knowledge and good sense. If you
are already wise, you will become
even wiser. And if you are smart,
you will learn to understand
proverbs and sayings, as well as
words of wisdom and all kinds of
riddles,” Proverbs 1:2-6.
I need wisdom and I sure need
self-control. I desperately want to
understand the meaning of God’s
word more tomorrow than I do
today. I want to be able to discern
what is right, honest and fair about
every situation according to how
God sees it. I’m just an ordinary
person that needs to learn. I want
more wisdom and I’m horrible
with riddles! That pretty much

Upon acceptance the new master locksmith

The key has been the symbol of mystical
charm since Biblical times. The Catholic
Church has keys in its coat of arms and during
the Middle Ages noblemen and women carried
a large collection of keys hanging from their
girdles to denote status—the more keys the
higher the status. The custom of granting
presentation keys began during the earliest
years when cities were walled enclaves. When
a visitor was held in high esteem by the
townspeople, he would be presented with a
gold-plated key to the city gate. Thus, we now
have the honorary “Key to the City.” Keys to
the city are now made of wood, plastic, pot
metal, or even cardboard.
Ancient Egyptian locks, made of wood and
fitted to the outside of the door, took the form
of a wooden bar that slid sideways through a
large wooden staple and into a cavity in the
doorjamb. The keys were large, wooden
toothbrush-looking devices with the “bristles”
being pegs corresponding to the staple. The
Romans developed a smaller iron lock with
bronze keys.
Keys made in the Middle Ages were very
rough and crude with the bows fashioned into
lozenge shapes and crosses. Some Medieval
keys will be found with rough designs, crests,
crowns or other ornamentation on the bows.

1st/2nd grade Bulldogs

The K-2nd grade Bulldogs entered
the first round of playoffs against
Blue Ridge. It was a slow start for
'Dogs, as the Tigers defense brought
their A-game. As the second quarter
began, Beaudy Kuykendall made
long strides for the first touchdown
of the game. After a fumble from the
'Dogs, the Tigers recovered and ran
for 60 yards before being tackled by
Riken Tilley. The offense took them
down, just outside the end zone. The
Tigers ran out of luck after that,
being shut down continually with
great plays by Gage Carr, Charles
Fuhr, Keelan Pointer and Gage
Owens. A pass to Vince
Castellanos in the second half
resulted in the 'Dogs second
touchdown, followed up with an
extra point ran in by Rylan Strong.
Saturday ended with a shutout
score of 13-0, and the hope of
another victory next week against
Bells, which will determine who
will advance to the Superbowl.

1911 at a cost of over $5.8 million
(nearly $140 million in 2015
dollars). It was commissioned in
May 1914. The 573-foot vessel
boasted a crew of more than one
thousand men. It included ten
fourteen-inch guns, twenty-one
five-inch guns, and four
submerged torpedo launchers. Its
firepower easily matched the most
