"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

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

The plans are to build out the back 75 percent
of the 2,500 square feet building for offices for

retail environment with a top-end hair salon in
mind. Their ability to lease the front quarter
allows the downtown district a variety of
options for consumers. One of the Defrange's
ideas are a hair salon boutique.
"My brother owns a salon in downtown Dallas
and travels all over the world." sad Tom
Defrange. "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

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

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

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.
