"When I first moved down here, it was just me and Mr. Clinton except City Hall and the fire department." said Palacios. "I started decorating for Halloween and it took me a couple of years, but after that, the kids expect me to be here and that's what I'll miss the most, the kids." Palacios commented that it's even harder to leave now that things are picking up downtown and that Howe had the best Christmas celebration in downtown in her 10 years there. Palacios will be moving her salon, Designer Cuts, to 1014 FM 902 just east of Howe. The 532-6151 phone number for Designer Cuts will stay the same as in town. "We're going to put a little cabin outside next to my house and get it fixed up." said Palacios. "I'm hoping it won't take too long to get it up and ready." But in the meantime, she will make house calls if needed, but has been given 30 days by Defrange before she has to completely move out. 103 E. Haning was constructed in 1900 and was purchased by M.E.

"He's going to help me design the interior of the boutique area based on what you would typically see when you walk into a Dallas high-end salon." They will be doing extensive work on the inside of the building including separate heating and cooling systems for the front and the back as well as removing the beadboard ceiling and fully insulating the interior. Defrange plans to build five offices in the back with a break room, kitchenette and open cubicle area of ten cubicles.

That would make all available spaces occupied by Founders Day weekend which begins downtown on Friday night, April 24 with the Howe Area Chamber of Commerce Hall of Honor induction ceremony. "If it's not going to be a salon up front, it's going to be something on the retail side." said Defrange.

A year ago, the Bulldogs finished 9-19, snuck into the playoffs and quickly exited to the hands of Sunnyvale, 72-31. Within a month, 24-year veteran Howe head coach Tim Rose had announced his retirement. It wasn't long before veteran coach Tim Short was hired to take over for Rose. In his first year, Short improved the win total from nine to 21 and became the fourth head coach for Howe to coach in a playoff game since 1970. Tom Skipworth coached the boys to a playoff run 1970, but the program went 16 years before John Burkhart was able to get the 'Dogs back in post-season play in 1986, Rose entered the playoffs on several occasions over his lengthy stay, and now Short, in his first year has revamped the Bulldogs basketball program by entering the playoffs in his first season.

Due to the recent ice storm, the game was moved from it's original date of Tuesday night and postponed until Wednesday evening. Howe's first period went just as planned and probably even a little bit better. The Bulldogs at one point took a 12 point lead when Michael Kehrer stole a pass and went the other way for the easy layup to put Howe up 19-7. Moments later, Howe took a 19-9 lead into the second period. In the second, Holliday's Reed Cummings came alive and scored 10 of his 14 first half points. Cummings used his large body to gain position throughout the evening and when Holliday's guards realized they could lob it down to him, it became a heavy mismatch for Howe.
