“You have to get control of that property;
it’s one of the key pieces of property that
you have,” said Sean Garretson president of
Pegasus, regarding the for-sale property owned
by Gold Coast at the end of Eighth St. behind
South Bay Marina.
Garretson’s company, Pegasus, is an
economic development-consulting firm and
land development based out of Austin; who
offered free professional advice to the Palacios
Economic Development Corporation (PEDC)
at its regular meeting last Wednesday.
Garretson, knowing the area and having

Garretson stated one of the main conference
centers in the state is located in San Marcos
and is prime example of a public/private
partnership thriving. The city of San Marcos,
the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, and
the developer made the numbers work by
pledging of sales tax revenue and have created
a self-sustaining popular hotel.
“I like the idea of using some of the sales tax
as an incentive,” said Director DebbieMorris.
“We need to get an incentive program.”
According to Garretson, the idea of a conference
hotel would be a ‘good opportunity’ but the
forerunner would be making the improvements,

City continues sales tax
record breaking trend
BY BRANDI G. WEST
Palacios Beacon
The Palacios city coffers
continue to be on track for a
record-breaking year of sales
tax revenue. September’s
rebate of $83,627 was received
earlier this month from the
State Comptroller.
The September rebate was
an increase of 27.63% over
what was received in the
same month last year, hiking
total revenue for the first nine
months of 2013 to $648,677.
This year to date rebate has
surpassed 2011’s total annual
rebate of $607,906 and the
City is on the way to surpass
2012’s total sales tax rebate of
$665,196; which notably was
an annual record breaking year
in sales tax revenue. This month’s rebates were
from sales made in July
and reported to the State
Comptroller in August.
Out of the 13 area cities,
comprised of all cities in
Matagorda, Wharton, Jackson
an d C al h o u n c o u n t i e s ;
including West Columbia and
Sweeny in Brazoria County,
only 4 rebates were less money
than was received this time a
year ago. Port Lavaca, Sweeny,
West Columbia, and Wharton
fell short for sales tax rebates
for the month of September.

Fall beach clean up Sat. at Marine Center
Every year, beach goers leave tons of
trash on Texas beaches. And even more
washes up from the Gulf of Mexico.
That’s why Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson is issuing the call for
an army of volunteers of all ages to help
keep our beaches naturally pristine and
safe for all to enjoy at the Texas General Land Office Adopt-A-Beach Fall
Cleanup.
“We’re looking for a few good Texans
to help keep our beaches litter-free,”
Patterson said. “Join us on Saturday
(Sept. 28), for an enjoyable, memorable
event to clean up our coast.”
Volunteers may register at check-in
sites between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. on
Saturday, Sept. 28.
The Palacios area cleanup will be
coordinated by Cynthia Garret (979532-0797 / 979-533-0808) and Mary
Kathryn Niccolai (361-972-3773). The
TAX
were similar with 4 local
cities: La Ward, Sweeny, West

behind 2012’s year to date
rebates.
State Comptroller Susan
Combs said $575-million
was rebated to all the sales
tax collecting entities in
Texas this month, up 2.8%
compared to September 2012.
“The latest monthly gains
were led by sectors such
as construction and the
restaurant industry,” Combs

Palacios check-in point will be at the
Marine Education Center located at 102
Marine Center Dr. in Palacios.
Now in its 27th year, 446,000 AdoptA-Beach volunteers have picked up 17
million pounds of litter from the Gulf
Coast. To participate, register at www.
TexasAdoptABeach.org. Volunteers
should wear closed-toe shoes, a hat and
sunscreen. They will be provided with
data cards, gloves, pencils and trash
bags. Those who can’t make it on Sept. 28
will have a second opportunity later this
fall. A competitive, four-wheel drive
excursion, cleanup and treasure hunt
– the Adopt-A-Beach Cleanup Expedition – is set for Nov. 2 at Padre Island
National Seashore. And year-round,
anyone may donate to Adopt-A-Beach
online at www.TexasAdoptABeach.org.
Sponsorship levels range from $25 to
$25,000, tax-deductible. The cleanup does more than simply
remove litter from the beach. Data collected from previous Adopt-A-Beach
cleanups played an important role in
the passage of an international treaty
(MARPOL Annex V) restricting the
dumping of plastics in the world’s
oceans. In 1991, the International Maritime Organization prohibited the dumping of trash, except for finely grounded
food scraps, into the Gulf of Mexico.
Shell Oil Company is the lead sponsor
for the 27th Texas General Land Office
Adopt-A-Beach Fall Cleanup – one of
the most successful all-volunteer efforts
in the nation. Other sponsors include
HNTB, Apache Corporation, Cameron
International Corporation, Cheniere
Energy, Flint Hills Resources, Halliburton, Schlumberger, and the Ocean Conservancy.

Director of Matagorda County Economic
Development has indicated at previous
meetings, Garretson stated, “It’s a matter
of all the entities getting on the same page
and commit to doing this.”
Palacios according to Garretson is a
‘hidden gem’ and ways to attract investors
are as simple as universal and legible
road signage and also have public entities
committed to investing.
“There is so much opportunity here in
Palacios and it is very exciting to be part
of it, but I think we need to make the step
forward to make sure
it happens,” said
Strotheide.
Mary Crocker
indicated Palacios
needs growth and
change and said,
“Several of us,
myself included,
that chose to come
to Palacios because
it is so peaceful
and the people are
so friendly. So we
(PEDC) needs to
capitalize on our
(Palacios’) strengths
but protect them
and “keep in mind
the flavor that is
Palacios.”
Compatibility is
key to the type of
growth and keeping
the charm Palacios offers. “All the
entities have to realize that if we don’t
help our self it’s going to be out of
our control. That property (Gold Coast
property) is the perfect example, because
that (industrialization) would ruin our
waterfront,” said Morris.
Bruce Webb indicated “The focus is
putting all these entities together and
start meeting in order to get everyone to
the table” weigh out the advantages and
disadvantages with a formulated plan “in
order to attract these developers.”
Other Business
PEDC appropriated $2500 to support the
Matagorda County Economic Development
Corporation and participating in Platinum
Plan with Site Location Partnership to
market Palacios, with representatives from
the PEDC board, at national trade shows.
Strotheide considers this investment,
“Money well spent.”
PEDC approved a request for funding
of Seaside Holiday and appropriated
altogether $2000: $1000 of which was a
Trull Foundation Grant and the additional
$1000 to promote the event through
advertising.
Funding was also approved to be a
premier sponsor at $1500 for the Annual
Bayfest Chamber Foundation cook-off.
PEDC approved a $1000 grant to
support the Fishermen’s Memorial. This
is the non-denominational ‘destination
tourist attraction’ which is an open armed
statue of Jesus Christ along with fishermen
located in Turning Basin 3.
The idea originated from
the business owner of Gulf
Bay Marine, Tuyen Viet
Vu, along with other local
fishermen commemorating
the lost fishermen at sea and
in thanksgiving of the for all
that is harvested from the sea.
“The industry is a big part of
this community; it defines this
community in many ways,”
commented Morris.
Only one funding request
was declined due to PEDC
funding criteria not matching
the request by the Youth
Football League.

Gonzales Co. taking tax searches to web
GONZALES: County Commissioners approved a
$64,128 contract with Cogniserv of Irving to ease tax record
searches. The current manner of searching tax records, for
the past several decades, is in binders that are withered and
suffering wear and tear. “The old tax records are kept in
the county annex building on Sarah Dewitt Drive and they
are kept in these huge blinders that weigh like 40 pounds
a piece,” said Gonzales County Tax Assessor-Collector
Crystal Cedillo. Cognisev will scan all the pre-existing
tax records back to 1968 and place them in a searchable
website database; research will be made public by the click

Five-term Co. Judge retires
BELLVILLE: Having served 20 years, five terms as
Austin County judge Carolyn Bilski announced she will not
be seeking a sixth term. “But after a prayerful consideration,
I will not be seeking an additional term in the 2014 primary,”
Bilski said. Much was accomplished during Bilski’s tenure;
the county’s General Fund has increased from $55,000 (the
first year Bilski was in office) to totaling $3 million. Also
Bilski commented about the numerous accomplishments
some of which include: the numerous water and sewer grants
have been awarded to promote safe water, the restoration and
expansion of the historical jail museum, the State Highway
36 expansion, and the Homeland Security grants funding

Free immunizations at Health Fair
WHARTON: Sivells Elementary School had a firstever health fair hosted by Community Health Choice
featuring everything from dental screenings, blood pressure
monitoring to free immunizations. The immunization
aspect was crucial due to all students needing to be current
on immunizations before attending classes. Christus
Community Health Ministries administered the shots in
a mobile unit all provided free though federal funded
Vaccines for Children (VFC). All kids 18 and under qualify
for the immunizations. Immunizations are not inexpensive,
the meningitis vaccine alone runs around $125 without

Registered Nurse Tara Martin. According to Principal
Ethel Garrett, “We are restoring the faith of parents in our
schools.”- Wharton Journal-Spectator
Widow still fighting for husbands benefits
EL CAMPO: The decision of whether Nikki Araguz,
born as Justin Graham Purdue (a male), is the widow of
fallen Wharton volunteer firefighter and should be able to
receive his death benefits was to be decided in a Corpus
Christi appeals court. The marriage occurred in Texas and
under Texas law, marriage must be between a man and a
woman- as defined at birth. Thomas Araguz III died in the
line of duty on July 4, 2010 and his death benefits have
not been distributed due to city of Wharton denying the
claim. Nikki Araguz has lost the argument for widowhood
multiple times: 329th District Court, the Texas Department
of Insurance’s Division of Workers’ Compensation and
the appeal. Earlier this month Nikki Araguz tried to get
married to another man in Harris County but the Clerk’s
office denied the license request.- El Campo Leader News

From the Police Chief
By Police Chief David Miles
This week has seen
a tremendous increase
in burglaries. Some
have been residential
and some have been
businesses. Very few
people have any type
of protection, such
as alarms or video
equipment. This is
not a real terrible investment with the
technology of today. What is really
bothering me, is the person that is
buying this stuff, whoever it is probably
knows it’s stolen. It’s kind of like your
neighbor doesn’t care. I am real sure we
will catch this burglar and I’m going to
try real hard to catch this person buying
the stolen property.

‘When Sean Speaks’ offers
advice to PHS, PJHS students
Palacios Junior High and High School
students attended a presentation in the Fine
Arts Building on September 17. The 1
hour presentation, “When Sean Speaks”,
features Sean Carter and his mother, Jenny
Carter. Sean Carter was a student at Midwestern State University majoring in Business Administration when on March of
2005, he was a passenger in a truck driven
by a college friend who was drunk. As the
truck spun and slammed into a tree, Sean’s
journey began. Sean suffered multiple fractures, internal injuries, but worst of all a
traumatic brain injury. Sean is now well
down the path of his new life. Although he
has forgotten how to walk and talk, Sean
continues to make progress. He suffers no
obvious cognitive deficits and has immediate rapport with everyone he meets. Sean
and his mom, Jenny, have a powerful
message that they share with others. They
speak frankly about the circumstances and
choices that Sean made that placed him in a
wheelchair unable to talk or walk. This presentation was vital to our students’ understanding that Sean represents each student.
He could easily be any one of them.
The presentation was sponsored by the
Pilot Club of Bay City and was followed
by a 5 – 10 minute question and answer
session. More information on Sean can
be found at his website. http://whenseanspeaks.com/ Sharky’s Angels Drill

(1Kings 19:11-13 NKLV) The He said,” Go out,
and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And
behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong
wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks
in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in
the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but
the Lord was not in the earthquake and after the
earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire;
and after the fire a still small voice. So it was, when
Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in the
mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of
the cave. And suddenly a voice came to him and
said, “What are you doing Elijah?”
So many times we think of hearing from God
and we envision a booming voice or some kind of
miraculous display of wonder and power.
There probably isn’t one of us reading this that
hasn’t longed to see that massive display of aweinspiring power while He was speaking to us in a
still , small voice?
Hearing that still small voice might seem like a
tough thing to get used to a first. It can take a bit
of getting use to in this noisy world we live in. So
many things vie for our time and attention. But
learning how to hear God is worth every bit of
the effort associated with it. And once we “Get
It” we’ll wonder how we went so long with hearing Him.
Let’s learn to listen for his still, small voice.
It’s truly awe-spiring.

Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in
God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are
may mansions; if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come
again and receive you to Myself; that were I am,
there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you
know.,Thomas said to Him. “Lord we do not know where You are
going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “ I am
the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father” except
through Me.

The September 16 meeting
of the Alapha Club included
a program on Martha Washington, the first First Lady.
Members answered roll call
by answering the question:
when is a woman a lady?
The answers were varied, but
most agreed that a woman is
a lady when she approaches
life with a gracious demeanor.
The program presented by
Leigh Ann Roemer, Jo Ann
Schneider, and Deb Smith,
told of the life and times
of Martha Washington. We
learned of her joy in opening
her home to friends and family, and her ability to make
others feel welcome. She supported her husband's administration, but didn't like some
of the restrictions it placed on
her ability to entertain.

Mental mistakes costly for Tigers
in 10-7 loss to Ganado Indians
BY RYAN WEST
Palacios Beacon-Edlitor
With inclement weather
staring in their faces, the
Tidehaven Tigers stood toeto-toe with the Ganado Indians; but in the end it was
costly mental mistakes that
proved the downfall for
coach Brent Mascheck’s Tigers.
With Tidehaven and Ganado knotted up at 7-7, the
Tigers’ homecoming heartbreak came when Ganado
booted the game deciding
field goal with two minutes
left in regulation.
“Again the total team effort
was good,” said Mascheck,”
but again it was not for a lack
of effort, but execution and
not taking care of the little
things.”
“It’s a frustrating loss, because we are beating ourselves with silly mistakes. We
can’t keep blaming our youth
for these mistakes, we have to
eliminate them for us to become a playoff team.”
“I told the kids after the
game we left everything out
on the field. We stood toe-totoe with a very good football
team but once again mental

mistakes cost us a chance for
a win.”
Mascheck praised the play
of his defense calling it a ‘super game’.
The Tigers held the Indians to 116-yards passing and
180-yards on the ground.
Offensively the Tigers
were their own worst enemy.
“We had nine penalties and
each one was huge for us,”
remarked Mascheck.
“We had drives going and
a penalty would end up hurting us.”
The Tiger offense was
powered by junior Eric Villareal, who caught four passes
for 20-yards and rushed the
ball for 14 times for 90-yards
and Tidehaven’s lone score
in the third quarter.
Tidehaven QB, sophomore
Brandon Litzau finished
the night 7-16 passing for
63-yards and was picked off
two times. He also rushed
three times for 14-yards.
Also notching carries for
the Tigers were: Nathan Galvan, 2-10; Jason Fitzgerald,
3-8; Brandon Brune, 1-6; and
Cameron Riojas, 1-2.
While Villareal snagged
four of Litzau’s passes,
Hunter Saha had one reception for five yards; Nathan
Galvan caught one pass for
10-yards and Fitzgerald had
one catch for 27-yards.
For Mascheck and the Tigers, this week’s contest is
even tougher, as the Tigers
are slated to host the defending Class-2A DII champions,
the East Bernard Brahmas at

SHARKS
Bagby’s feelings must have still been hurt
this past Thursday at the junior high and junior varsity games in Palacios as Bowden
said he refused to walk across the field and
shake any Shark coaches hands after the conclusion of the contests.
Bagby’s cry-baby behavior carried over
into Friday’s pre game.
When the Sharks arrived at the stadium on
Friday, Bagby refused to allow the Sharks
to use any onsite facility to get dressed and
forced Palacios to bus the Sharks 2-blocks
to the Van Vleck Gym to get dressed for the
game and then bus back.
Bagby’s warped mind continued to confound Bowden and the Sharks when the
whistle blew for halftime. Again, instead of
having a facility on the grounds available for
the Sharks to take refuge from the weather,
Bagby forced the Sharks to sit underneath the
goalposts.
“You don’t do that to somebody,” said
Bowden. “That’s fine if you want to send us
over over there (2 blocks away at the gym) to
dress. But when we get to the stadium, you
give us access, like the weight room (a mere
20-yards away from the playing field and
within the stadium grounds).
“He wouldn’t even let us in there at halftime.”
Palacios Beacon - Wed., September 25, 2013 Page 11
PORTS
Bagby only relented on allowing the Sharks
usage of the weight room, once there was
lightning close enough for the game officials
to mandate a 30-minute mandatory lightning
delay and send both teams off the playing surface and to seek shelter.
Bowden
said
Bagby’s
antics
were”ridiculous, completely ridiculous.”
“I can’t find another coach to say anything
good about him.”
While the unprofessional and immature
actions of Bagby stole the show, there were
still two quarters of ‘scrimmage’ that did happen, although what happened in the game really never happened according to the record
books.
The game, ahem scrimmage, wrapped up
after two quarters of play with the Leopards
clinging to a 13-6 lead.
It appeared the game couldn’t have started
any better for Palacios.
The Shark defense was in a frenzy to start
the game and forced the Leopards back
10-yards on their opening drive and into a
4th and 20. On the attempted punt, the snap
sailed high over the head of Van Vleck’s punter, who attempted but failed to field the ball,
only to have Palacios’ Kenny Garcia knock
the ball away and into the end zone. Palacios’
Chris Deleon hopped on the loose pigskin for
a Shark score.
Alfred Aparicio’s PAT sailed wide of the
uprights, but the Sharks were up 6-0 with
9:32 left in the first quarter.
Palacios’ lead was short lived for on the first
play from scrimmage, Van Vlecks’ Montrell
Brown darted 47-yards to answer the Shark
score and knot the game up at 6-6. The PAT
by Dean Bagby gave the Leps a 7-6 edge on
the Sharks.
Two possessions later, the Sharks were again
on the move - thru the air, on the ground, and
driving deep into Leopard redzone territory.
On third and ten from the Leopard 14,
Shark QB Cameron Sides was picked off by
Van Vleck’s Freddie Durrance.
The Leopards made the most of the pick and
turned it into six points following a 7-play,
79-yard drive that was capped by a 19-yard
run by Brown. On the PAT, a bad snap forced
Leopard QB - holder Dean Bagby into an incomplete pass. With 11:42 to go in the first
half, the Leopards extended the lead to 13-6.
The remaining time before intermission
was marred with penalties for both teams.
Once the whistle blew to head into the locker
rooms, not one more play would be run by
either side.
“I was not happy with our overall performance” said Bowden.
“The same story of we’re still maturing on
offense and more self inflicted wounds.”
“We didn’t play clean,” remarked Bowden.
“We didn’t take the fight to them fast enough.”
With the Shark offense still a work in progress, Bowden continues to preach patience.
“We’ve got to have more time. We’re not
there yet on offense and we need to work out
some kinks.”
For Bowden and his Sharks, this week’s
open date can perhaps supply the needed time
for his Sharks to work out said kinks.
When they retrun to the gridiron on next
Friday (Oct. 4) the Sharks play host to the
Stafford Spartans in Palacios’ 2013 Homecoming game.
The Sharks upended a Spartan squad that
went two-rounds deep in the Class 3A playoffs on their home turf, 24-14 last season.

Sharks get unsportsmanlike treatment

Thanks to mother nature, last week’s meeting of the Palacios Sharks and Van Vleck
Leopards was a short one. At least short in the
sense that only the first two quarters of the
game were completed.
Looking at the whole picture, the Sharks
and Leps had a 24-minute scrimmage that
lasted from the 7:30 p.m. kickoff until Van
Vleck’s head coach Greg Bagby, finally conceded to the inevitable arrival of the thundering force of Mother Nature. And just to add
a little salt to the wound, Bagby refused to
finish the game.
Shark head coach Brad Bowden said the
decision to not finish the last two quarters
of the game on the following Saturday was
‘completely on coach Bagby’.
Bagby’s reasoning to Bowden, was that he
“needed to get ready for district”.
“I wanted to finish the game,” said Bowden.
“I told him (Bagby) we’d play anytime on
Saturday. Said if we’d start at 10 a.m. we’d
be done by noon, 1 p.m. at the latest. Then
he’d have the rest of the weekend to break
down film.”
Despite Bowden’s plea, Bagby’s refusal to
finish was firm.
“I guess he doesn’t like to work Saturday
evening and Sunday afternoon,” remarked
Bowden. “But your a coach, that’s a part of
it.”
The decision by Bagby left Bowden and the
Sharks frustrated and disappointed.
“He (Bagby) let his kids down, his community down and sabotaged our chances to
improve.”
While Bagby’s classless actions at the end
of the contest were perplexing and frustrating, it’s what happened before and during the
‘scrimmage’ that had Bowden fuming.
Earlier in the week, Bowden caught Bagby
redhanded trying to obtain game film on the
Sharks from previous opponents while avoiding Bowden’s calls to swap game films, as is
the traditional norm for high school coaches.
When Bagby’s attempts to obtain game film
on the Sharks fell thru, he dialed up Bowden,
who had no qualms calling Bagby out on his
unsportsmanlike conduct.
