Have You Started a Conversation on Patch?

You may have noticed in recent weeks even more changes to the site to make contributing to Howell Patch even easier. One of the changes is the “Boards” section now being called “Conversations.”

Just in the past few days there have been some additions to the conversations sections. The Howell ice hockey team will be hosting a car wash at the Southard Fire Department as one of the most recent posts. Another conversation posted is for a set of rims for a 1996 Jeep Cherokee that are up for sale.

The New Movement Dance Center has also posted about a guest teacher coming to the school and there is also information available on a yard sale being held in the Candlewood section of town.

The National Weather Service is calling for a sunny day on Wednesday with a high near 72 and a low of 50 at night. Going through the rest of the week the forecast should be very much the same for our area for the weather.

Whether it is Archie or Batman fans can enjoy National Comic Book Day today. On this date in 1493 Christopher Columbus made a less heralded trip to the new world with 17 ships making the trip across the ocean. Also on this date in 1789 the congress adopted 12 amendments to the Constitution. It was on this date in 1981 that Sandra Day O’Connor was sworn in as the first female justice on the Supreme Court.

Famous birthdays today include actor Michael Douglas and TV star Barbara Walters. Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill turns 62 today and Heather Locklear turns 52.
