Bulldogs Head Coach Torrey Ognoskie called today’s 2-1 win over Pottsboro a big win.  The game that was postponed Friday to today turned into a pitching masterpiece by starting pitcher Josh Griffin, who went the distance for the win.  Full recap will be in Monday’s Howe Enterprise.

New owners of 103 E. Haning, Tom and Leslie Defrange have found that above the awning are windows that open.  It took over 20 minutes to open each window that are equipped with original hinges and fasteners.

Also found were sets of unused original hardwood flooring.

The Keep Howe Beautiful program spent two hours on Saturday morning cleaning the trash from across the Dollar General store on L.B. Kirby Avenue this morning.  They also cleaned the massive amounts of trash across from the duplexes on Farmington Road.  One member of the committee reported several trash bags of animal poop that was thrown across the road into the trees.  They are urging citizens to please pick contain their trash in into the proper places.  While it is nice to have volunteers pick up trash on occasions, it is certainly not their responsibility to clean up after the citizens.

Keep Howe Beautiful’s mission of 2015 is for Howe to become “The Prettiest Little Town in Texas.”

Keep Howe Beautiful’s 2015 mission to once again become, “The Prettiest Little Town in Texas” just got a big boost from a Van Alstyne business.  The Green Acre Garden Center donated nearly 100 packages of flower seeds for the organization to plant this spring.  The organization is having a membership drive of $10 which will include a welcome bag of seeds and potting soil.  Full story in Monday’s Howe Enterprise.

The Howe Community Facilities Development Corporation and city council voted to approve an $18,000 upgrade to replace all of the lighting at Hash and North baseball fields.  Due the the energy savings, the investment will pay itself back in three years.  Full story in Monday’s Howe Enterprise.
