Page 1


This weekend there is an opportunity to take trash to the Precinct 1 Clean up to dump. Details of what will be accepted, location, etc. can be found on Page 12 of the publication this week.

Thank you very much for more questions for the school board this week. Feel free to send questions through the end of this week. Next week I will begin contacting the school board candidates for their participation. The article will be released in the following weeks, a bit closer to election time. I will attempt to leave time for us to do another round, if desired by the community. There was also talk at the Texoma Patriots meeting of conducting School Board Election debates for Howe and Van Alstyne. This has not been confirmed but as soon as we know we will inform you.

I would like to dare to ask the community for your help on another project. I would like to start a “ resources page” for Grayson County in the paper–things like Feed My Sheep and Peggy’ s Porch. The cost of living isn’t getting any cheaper and I believe we are meant to help each other. Can y’all help me get a great resources page going to all help each other? I know some resources but I can’t possibly know them all.

Have a great week, Howe, TX!

Honormatters. Inanyorganization,militaryorcivilian, theimportance ofintegrity,loyalty,anddedicationarebeyondquestion. Itistheseprinciplesthatled theUnitedStatestovictoryinWorld WarI,awarnowacenturyinthepast. MillionsofAmericansservedinthis war,somegivingeverythingfortheir country,includingTexans. Oneofthe menleadingAmericantroopsintobattlewasGen.RobertHowze,acareer officerfromEastTexaswhoserved withquietdedicationandhonor throughouthis38-yearcareer.

RobertLeeHowzewasborn inOverton,asmallcommunityjust eastofTyler,in1864. Hewasbornin themidstoftheCivilWarastheConfederateeffortnearedcollapse. His father,JamesHowze,servedasacaptaininthe14th TexasCavalry. Growingup,hewasinspiredbyhis father’sownwartimeservicetoseeka militarycareerofhisown.

Howzegraduated fromHubbardCollege,moreofacollege-preparatoryschool,in1883. He wasawardedanappointmentto theUnited StatesMilitaryAcademyatWest Point. Whenhegraduatedin1888,he earnedacommissionasalieutenant andwasassignedtotheSixthCavalry intheNewMexicoTerritory.

In1890,thearmygrewconcernedaboutthegrowthoftheGhost DancereligionattheBlackHillsIndianReservationinSouthDakotaand theassociatedceremonialdances. Fearingarebellionwasaboutto erupt,armyunitsacrosstheWestwere senttothereservationtorestoreorder. Whatresultedwasthemass shootingsofunarmedcivilians,culminatingintheWoundedKneeMassacre inDecember1890inwhich150Sioux werekilled. Howzeandhisunitwere notinvolvedinthatincident,andactionsagainsttheSiouxcontinued. HowzewasawardedtheCongressionalMedalofHonorforhisactionsinanengagementwithagroupof SiouxinJanuary1891.Themedals awardedduringthecampaign,however,havebecomeincreasinglycontroversialsincethattime.

By1905,nowalieutenantcolonel,Howzewasnamedcommandant ofcadetsatWestPoint. Heemphasizedhonorandintegrityascommandant. Whenonecadetwasostracized byhisentireclassforreportingahazingincidentin1907,Howzethreatenedtoexpeltheentireclass. He wouldgoontoservewithGen.John Pershing’spunitiveexpeditionintoMexicoin1916againstPanchoVilla. Howzewasthenassigned toFortBlissinElPasoandpromoted tobrigadiergeneralin1917.
