Harvey
She looked at her freshman yearon varsity as one of being crucialfor her development.
"That year was the most excitingfor me because that team was funto play with. I thought each andevery one of my teammates couldhave had the (MVP) award." saidHarvey. "I didn't even know theygave awards at that time. But Ithought Morgan Bailey wouldhave got it so I didn't expect it atall. That year I wasn't expected tobe a leader, not that I don't lovethat role, but I got put in differentpositions and they (seniors) weretelling me what to do. I got tolearn from them because they wereall great players. I carried a lot ofwhat they taught me in the yearslater."
Sometimes having success so early
can put pressure on an athlete tomake sure and repeat theirperformances. But Harvey saysshe thrives on that environment.
"I kind of like pressure." saidHarvey. "I think it makes mebetter. It just pushed me harder totry and get it again and thenhopefully more."
In 2015, Harvey was named to theAll-State team and hopes foranother spot this year.
Her basketball life began in Howeat the age of four in the HoweYouth Basketball Little DribblersOrganization. Her first coacheswere Michelle Carney and hermom. Even at four, she was one ofthe taller players. But it wasn'tuntil after seventh grade basketballthat she really began to feel a

a
special connection about her futureand the game of basketball.
"I started playing select basketballso that I could potentially go to thenext level." said Harvey. "I playedsoftball for awhile and actually hadto quit because it conflicted withsummer basketball. I really justwanted to try it out for a year andsee how it went. I was reallyhesitant at playing select ball at firstbecause I was scared that I mightnot like it."
But that never happened. Shecontinued to play select basketballthroughout her high school careerand never burned out due to, shesays, because her parents neverforced her to play.
"After every game or tournament,my parents would tell me that if Ididn't want to play that I didn't haveto." said Harvey. "They neverpushed me to play and it wasalways my decision and thathelped."
There are no regrets of leavingaside her softball or volleyballplaying days. She is a one-sportgym rat and only wants to playbasketball.
"I'm not against people that playother sports obviously, but becauseI love basketball so much, I don'twant anything to do with othersports." said Harvey. "I enjoyedvolleyball, but I didn't love it.
As mentioned before, Harvey isonly one of six Harvey kids. Herolder brother Brice Jr., herself andsophomore brother Ty now can helpout the parents by driving theyounger kids to different events.Those younger siblings are Ally,Emma and Tate, all of which arealso athletes. Ty was the sixth manon varsity basketball team thisseason and the next Harvey in lineis Ally, who is also an impressivebasketball player in her own right.But some might feel a little sorryfor the younger Harvey girl who

"It was a rough way to lose a game,especially on an error and such aclose call on the double down theline." said Ognoskie. "It's a game Ifelt like we could have won had oneor two things gone a little
differently. I was very proud ofhow our kids kept their composureand battled back after getting downfour right away. It takes somematurity to do that, and hopefullythis is a game that can serve us welldown the line. Most games in ourdistrict will be close like this onewas so hopefully we learned fromit."

“And while He was being accused bythe chief priests and elders, He madeno answer. Then Pilate said to Him,“Do you not hear how many thingsthey testify against You?” And Hedid not answer him with regard toeven a single charge, so that thegovernor was quite amazed,”Matthew 27:12-14.
Pilate knew the truth, and the Jewswere opposing the truth. The Jewshad unjustly convicted Jesus andPilate had justly exonerated Him.Hoping that Jesus would come to Hisown defense and help expose thedeceitful Jewish leaders, Pilate saidto Him, “Do you not hear how manythings they testify against You?”But, again, Jesus didn’t answer himto a single charge. Pilate hadconfronted hundreds of accused menand most of them loudly protestedtheir innocence and were willing tosay or do anything to savethemselves. Many of them madecountercharges against their accusersor else passionately pled for mercy.A person who said nothing in hisown defense was unheard of andbeyond belief. But Jesus wasinnocent and it was obvious that itdemanded no defense on His part.

nothing. The time had come forour Savior to be in the hands ofthose who sought His death and Hesays only a few words…but whatHe says is powerful. “And thehigh priest stood up and said,‘Have you no answer to make?What is it that these men testifyagainst You?’ But Jesus remainedsilent. And the high priest said toHim, ‘I put You under oath by theliving God, tell us if You are theChrist, the Son of God." Jesus saidto him, "You have said so. But Itell you, from now on you will seethe Son of Man seated at the righthand of the Power, and coming onthe clouds of heaven.’ Then thehigh priest tore his robes and said,"He has uttered blasphemy! Whatfurther witnesses do we need?You have now heard Hisblasphemy! What is yourjudgment?’ They answered, ‘Hedeserves death,’’ Matthew 26:61-66.
Jesus did not have to be takenaway by force. He was willing togo because He understood, as noone else could have understood,what He was about to face. Jesusunderstood the holiness of God andHe understood the consequencescoming upon Him as the Sin-bearer for the entire world. “Fromnow on you will see Me seated atthe right hand of Almighty God.”That was an amazing statement oflife beyond the grave, as well as astatement that the Father and theSon would be together in power.“You will see Me coming on theclouds of heaven.” Jesus is theMessiah, seen in a vision byDaniel, bringing heaven to earth inthe final day. He is the Son ofGod, and you and I will see Him.
“But these are written so that youmay believe that Jesus is theChrist, the Son of God, and that bybelieving you may have life in Hisname,” John 20:31.

will be a freshman next seasonand expected to fill the shoes ofolder sister.
"She just got on the select teamthat I was on." said Harvey."They had their first practice theother day and everyone keptasking her if she was Riley'ssister, because we look alike, Iguess. My mom was a littleworried because what's expectedof her isn't going to be the sameas what I did. She'll be a good.We're a competitive family.She'll be good."
Riley Harvey benefited from therare advantage of going from oneCoach Lands to another.Shannon Lands is the eighthgrade girls basketball coach andher husband Derek is the varsitygirls basketball coach. Harveyfeels that helped tremendouslywith the transition her freshmanyear.
"Mrs. Lands eased us into a gamethat we would be playing in highschool and that helped us." saidHarvey. "It also helps to build aprogram and a future."
Harvey's Howe basketball futureis behind her and she reflected onthe final game against Grandviewin the area championship thatknocked the Lady Bulldogs outand finished the senior careers.
"We knew it was going to be atough game. We'd played thembefore." said Harvey. "We didn'texpect to lose by 20. They foughtharder. We could have closed thegap but we never did. Theyphysically and mentally pushedus with the press. It was like amental block that we couldn't

The game ended a three-year runof four starters working togethertowards a common goal. Thosefour inlcuded Harvey, HollyHawkins, Darci Foster and AlissaSmith. As sophomore starters,they paid no attention to theiryouth and inexperience andmarched their way to the playoffsuntil finally losing to Alvord.
"I just remember people saying,'they're so young,' but after thatyear, you only have two yearsleft" said Harvey. "At somepoint, you just have play. Even ifyou're 15-year-olds playingagainst 18-year-olds - that's whyyou're on varsity - you can do it.When we lost to Alvord, we hadtwo years left, but those twoyears went fast."
After graduation, she will head toStephen F. Austin StateUniversity, as her parents did.Due to excellent planning andtaking college classes while inhigh school, she will obtain herAssociates Degree even beforeshe will be presented with herHigh School Diploma in June.Her plans are not to be on thebasketball team, but her plans areto play the game she loves.
"I know that it's not going tocome easy. I'm going to have towork at it just as I had to thesame in high school." saidHarvey. "I know what it takes tomake it as a freshman and I knowhow much work it takes to start.That's why I'm working out nowand trying to get stronger becauseI know that I won't be the tallestin college.

Q. This lovely little duck planteris one of my favorites. It has amark on the bottom that I thinkreads “Dryden.” Can you tell meanything about this pottery?
A. Dryden Pottery was foundedin Ellsworth, Kansas in 1946 byJames Dryden. James Drydenstudied chemistry at the Universityof Illinois and art at KansasUniversity. Dryden made moldedpieces from his own plaster moldsand glazes made from volcanic ashfrom Ellsworth County and otheringredients in a two-fire method.In 1947, he was turning out 2000pieces a week. The pieces made inEllsworth County were made ofdark tan clay. A Fiesta-typedinnerware was produced in thelate 1940s. By 1948, distribution ofthe pottery was to more than 600stores in 22 states. In the 1950s,Dryden sold some pottery to theVan Briggle Pottery to offset hisloss in over the counter sales. In1956 the pottery was moved to HotSprings, Arkansas. The move toHot Springs was an attempt to cashin on the tourists racing to thatcity. Hot Springs pieces weremade of pure white clay. DrydenPottery specializes in one of a kindsigned collector’s pieces.
The founder of another potterylocated in Hot Springs, Jack Buck,apprenticed at Dryden Potteries forfive years to qualify as a masterpotter. In 1964 he started his ownpottery. He developed his ownglazes, some in solid colors, somemingled tones of brown and yellow
or turquoise and green ondinnerware and other utility pieces.A small amount of solid red itemswas made, but red was discontinuedbecause a separate firing at lowertemperature was necessary and theoxides needed to make the colorwere too expensive. Mr. Buckcreated many of his own molds,however some Dryden molds werecommercially made. Wheel madepottery is also made. The pottery isincised “Hot Springs Pottery, Ark.”Hand thrown items have the word“Originals” and the initials “J.B.”
Although neither of these potterieshas caught fire among collectors,they are attractive and certainlyfunctional. We have found severalpieces at thrift shops and at garagesales. The glazes are beautiful.Apparently you can get your nameengraved in pieces, because wefound “Tom” and “Shirley”matching mugs at a schoolfundraiser garage sale.

Texas History Minute:
The 1880s and 1890s saw the rise ofsome of the most notorious criminalsin American History, mostly ridingthe dusty trails of the West. One ofthe most infamous was the DaltonGang, made up of outlaws fromKansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.The Dalton Gang terrorized thefrontier, with a string of murders androbberies stretching from Texas toKansas.
The Dalton Gang was led by threebrothers from Kansas. Their parents,Lewis Dalton and Adeline Younger,aunt to the outlaws Cole and JimYounger, had fifteen childrentogether. They settled in Coffeyvillein southeastern Kansas and wereotherwise honest citizens. Ironically,the eldest Dalton brother, FrankDalton, had been a respected DeputyU. S. Marshal before his own deathin the line of duty in 1887. Threebrothers, Grat, Emmett, and Bob hadworked with posses their brother hadorganized and briefly continued towork as deputies afterward.
Along the way, they turned awayfrom the law and into a whirlwind ofcrime and destruction. By 1891, thethree had formed the Dalton Gang,bringing in a number of charactersfrom across Oklahoma. One, BillDoolin, was born in rural JohnsonCounty in Western Arkansas in1858, the son of destitutesharecroppers. He moved to whatwas at that time the Indian Territory(modern-day Oklahoma) in 1881 as aranch hand, but he drifted for severalyears afterward and had a number ofbrushes with the law.
After months of robberies andshootings up and down the frontier,the brothers returned to Coffeyvillein October 1892 to rob two banks.The daring plan collapsed and fourresidents and four gang memberswere killed, including Grat and BobDalton. Emmett Dalton wascaptured and served fifteen years in a
Kansas prison before beingparoled. He later moved toCalifornia, wrote a book about hisexperiences, and eventuallybecame a real estate agent beforehis death in 1937.
Doolin decided not to participate inthe Coffeyville Raid, a decisionthat saved his life – for the timebeing. However, he and a fourthbrother, Bill Dalton, proceeded tobuild a new gang in Oklahoma thatcame to be called the OklahomaLong Riders, or simply, the WildBunch. They staged trainrobberies and bank robberies fromMissouri to Texas. In September1893, a posse of fourteen lawmencornered the Wild Bunch inIngalls, Oklahoma. A shootouterupted, leaving four dead and theWild Bunch scattered.
After the raid, Bill Dalton rodesouth, and he and four men robbeda bank in Longview, Texas, in1894. After the robbery, he and hisgang rode back north toward therelative anonymity of theOklahoma Territory, but he wasshot and killed by U. S. Marshalsin Ardmore two weeks later.
Doolin continued his string ofarmed robberies. In January 1896,he was captured in a bathhouse inEureka Springs, Arkansas. He hadcome to the northwest Arkansascommunity in hopes that themineral baths would help theinjuries from his gunfights andflights from the law. However, heescaped from a prison in theOklahoma Territory six monthslater. Doolin hid out on his father-in-law’s farm in Oklahoma forseveral weeks afterward until U. S.Marshals were tipped off to hislocation. In August 1896, twelveU. S. Marshals had surrounded thefarmhouse and prepared to arresthim. Spying the officers, Doolinquickly reached for his gun but wasshot dead on the spot.
All the remaining outlaws werecaptured or killed. With the deathof Doolin, the last of the bloodshedand robberies came to an end. Andwith that, a chapter in the history ofthe Old West closed.

This article was written in Volume 1, Edition 20 of the HoweEnterprise on November 7, 1963 by Miss Mame Roberts. Herfront page left margin "Here's Howe" column was thepredecessor to the "Howe's That" column started by Bob Walkerin 1966.
"The history of Howe might well begin on Haning Street[pronounced Hay-ning], (the main street). Haning Streetproudly admits its age.
The buildings range in the age from fifty to seventy-five years oldand older. What a story of stability they represent.
To accentuate the past, there is an ultra modern building, thenew Post Office [now City Hall] occupying a place of honoralong-side the very old. But the old have history on their side.
Let the corner building on the north side of Haning St. tell itsstory first.
"Back in the early seventies and eighties [Deeds show thebuilding was actually built in 1884], I was the pride of thecommunity, housing a general merchandise business owned andoperated by the Honorable S.W Young, of a pioneer family ofsturdy stock. Mr. Young was young and knew his business. Heknew the needs of the community. He sold everything from babysupplies to hardware. He had the latest ladies fashions, shoes,piece goods, men's clothing. If you did not see what you wanted,all you had to do was just ask for it and the young Mr. Youngwould reach down and pull it out from under the counter.
The story is told of a young man who rushed into the store just atclosing time to get a pair of shoes. He was in a big hurry to callon his best girl. He selected the shoes by size - when he openedto box to wear them - he had two shoes, but they did not match,one was a brogan, the other a sharp-pointed toe and buttoned.
Mr. Young's shoes and sundries did not always match, but hismotto was , 'Service with a smile.'
"After the passing of the mercantile business, I became thefavored location for drug stores - I shall name only three best

remembered. There was the Collins-Harding Drug Company which reallybecame uptown after the Interurban passed my west door and stopped there forpassengers. Then there was the Holcomb Drug, and Williford Drug businessand several others you may remember. My location was always a choice cornerfor business and is today.
The brick and mortar that went into my four walls must have been the best, forall I need today is a new coat of paint.
I'm happy - I'm the home of Happy's Cafe." P.S. I would not dare to mention inmy history the knee-deep mud on Haning Street, the water supply from surfacewells, and the shortage of heating wood and coal."
Today, that building is the economic heartbeat of Howe serving as the HoweDevelopment Alliance and Howe Area Chamber of Commerce. Also, KeepHowe Beautiful calls the building home, which that particular organizationwould give Miss Roberts sunshine and flowers of emotions as she was well-known for her beautification projects all over the state and even the country.

The boys started a project back inOctober to build a trailer fromground-up. The students evenadded a flare to the interior bytorching the wood and giving it aburnt look. They put in 410 manhours overall by working on thetrailer during ag classes duringweekdays and then would get helpon weekends from some of thedads such as Jerry Welch who hasexpertise in welding and BobDuerr who helped with theblueprint book. The students cutthe boards, burned the boards,assembled the unit and painted it acharcoal metallic color that stoodout at the show.
Part of the project is showing theprogress with pictures frombeginning through the ending. Thestudents are then questioned on theprocedures of assembly in order tomake sure that the parents aren'tthe ones that actually completedthe project.
The trailer that they decided to puttogether was similar to one thatwon first place two years ago.Cody Welch says that the projectwas a little overwhelming at timesespecially when they had to workon weekends and didn't even get
the finishing touches on the traileruntil just two days before theshow.
As far as the burnt wood look,Welch says that may have putthem over the top. "I've never seenone done like that before but wedecided we were going to putwood in it and then burn it halfway through."
The school doesn't foot the bill forthe project so this was funded bythe families and the trailer hasalready been sold for $8,000 whichturned a profit of $1,500 over whatit cost to build. Welch says that
the students will split the net profit.
"When we got the Loy Lake, wesaw some other projects that werereally really nice, but ours wasmagnificent." said Welch. "Therewas another trailer that was a 16foot flatbed. There was also acattleshoot that I thought mightwin. There was also a hay fork thatwas reserve grand champion."
After the judging was over, theywere complimented by the judgeand told that they would have anice chance at Houston.
Welch took third place a year agoat Loy Lake with a 24 foot flatbed.Ag teacher Dustin Lambert helpedform the partnership of Welch,Coco and Duerr to collectively puttheir talents together for thisremarkable achievement.
"Being Eagle Scouts, we've allknown each other for a long time."said Duerr.
Coco and Duerr received theirEagle Scout ranking on the sameday in November of 2014 whileWelch was one year ahead in2013. Duerr built weelchair rampsfor his Eagle Scout Project whileWelch build a barbed wire fencefor Hall Cemetary.
Duerr is headed to Texas Tech fora civil engineering degree aftergraduating from Howe HighSchool. After college, hisintentions are joining the US AirForce.
Welch wants to get into physicaltherapy with a start at GraysonCollege.

There have been a number of Lady Bulldogs whoover the years would be in the conversation as thegreatest to ever wear the black and white. Playerslike Amber Murray, Taylor Murray, CherylAnderson, Jordan England, Mickey Dutton,Carlene Wilson, Marsha Bonner, Tania Bement,Robin Stonebarger, Michelle Haynes, AmyCampbell and others are always on the front of thetongue for fans of the Lady Bulldogs. Four yearsfrom now, we very well could be talking aboutanother Harvey girl having great success for theLady Bulldogs. But for now, Riley Harvey andRiley Harvey alone can stake claim to the greatestLady Bulldogs basketball player to ever wear theblack and white. It's amazing what happens whena very talented individual coupled with intellectand a vision while having a great supporting castcan achieve.
