Mayor agrees to ‘fight for the Library’ during budgeting
BY BRANDI G. WEST
Palacios Beacon
Seating was scarce at last week’s Palacios
City Council meeting as members of the Library
Board and Friends of the Library were present to
say ‘Thank You’ for the financial contributions
from the City of Palacios.
Besides gratitude, Dale Behnke, Library
Board President described two of the successful
programs: the summer reading program, and
the ‘most important’ the homework assistance
program.
Behnke described the homework program
as high school kids are employed as tutors and
they assist younger children in their studies.
“These kids come to the library, and let’s face
it, they don’t get it. They’re scared, they don’t
want to get left behind and they can’t get it at
home,” said Behnke.
“Every dime you give us is spent on a project
to help a student,” said Behnke and more money
would equate more students employed ensuring
help with more homework assignments.
Behnke, recognized Paul Christianson’s
“tireless efforts” of enabling past editions of
the Palacios Beacon to be digitally archived
at the library; which is a customary is task of
public libraries.
Librarian Vikijane Mosier, also commented
how the Library hosted the Science Rocks Hands
on STEM traveling trailer and approximately
100 students were able to experience the handson educational fun. “The trailer encourages
kids to get interested in Science,” Mosier said.
Mosier also commented on the Library’s
Science Club which encourages weekly science
engagement during the summer and helpful
volunteers, Ted and Martha Riccio.
After the presentation concluded Mayor John

At last week’s meeting
of the Matagorda County
Seawall Commisison, Commissioner Joe Kana and
Chairman of the Pavilion
Committee reported the committee meet on June 24th and
had made some changes.
Kana said, “We are looking for a complete deal operation, landscaping and all.
We are going to need another
$900,000 to go with the $1
Million we have to do this.
Our next meeting on July 16
will be with Pegasus Planning and Development to
explore what they can offer
in the way of grant funding. They provide a service
to look for grant monies at
a charge. Currently, we have
requested a grant from Palacios Area Fund to help defray
some of the additional costs
above the actual building.
Private funds have been coming in support of the project
also. Hopefully, once this get
going we will begin getting
more private donations. We
are a 501(c)3, so donations
will be tax deductible.”
Chairman Craig Wallis remarked, “At some point it is
going to come up as to how
much the Seawall Commission will kick in. We need to
be thinking about whether we
want to do a one time participation or something else. I
think it would be nice to have
some additional committee
members at our next meeting
for their support and input.
We will have to discuss this
once it is on the agenda.”
South Bay Enhancement
The commissioners have
been discussing the enhancement of the south beach by
addition of more sand to cover the area from the west side
of the pavilion back to the
boat ramp. Matt Glaze with
Urban Engineering said he
had been in contact with the
Corp of Engineers and the
placement of any sand below
the mean high tide line will
require a permit. The commissioners authorized Glaze
to proceed with obtaining the
permit.

Gulf shrimping waters
opened sundown Tues.
BY BRANDI G. WEST
Palacios Beacon
Farewells were extended to
many taking to the high seas
this Tuesday (July 15) as the
Gulf of Mexico commercial
shrimp season for both state
and federal waters opened 30
minutes after sunset.
The opening date is based
on an evaluation of the
biological, social and economic
information to maximize the
benefits to the industry and
the public.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department Coastal Fisheries
Division used the most available
scientific information, in
making its’ determination. The
methods used in making this
determination used samples
collected by trawls and by
bag seines (dragnet) in TPWD
routine data collection.
The purpose of the closed
Gulf season is to protect brown
shrimp during their main period
of emigration from the bays to
the Gulf of Mexico to ensure
they reach larger and more
valuable sizes before harvest.
The closing is also in efforts
to prevent waste caused by the
discarding of smaller product.
Federal waters (from 9 to
200 nautical miles offshore)
will open at the same time state
waters are scheduled to open.
The National Marine
Fisheries Service chose to
adopt rules compatible with
those adopted by Texas.
THE Port of Palacios was emptying its docks over the weekend as the Gulf Shrimping Waters were scheduled to open for havesting at sudnown on Tues. (July 15).

CofC given glimpse inside local Boys & Girls Club
BY BRANDI G. WEST
Palacios Beacon
The El Campo and Palacios Boys and Girls Club
Executive Director Jill Stafford provided insight to
the origination of the club and the inner happenings
at the local Palacios Club at last weeks’ Palacios
Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
The original club was established in 1860 in
Connecticut as a Boy only club, welcomed girls
in 1990 and now serves over 4-million members
nationwide.
Alarming daily statistics were cited by Stafford:
50 kids killed/injured by guns, 1837 abused/
neglected, 2857 high school dropouts, 4028 youth
arrested, 4008 babies are born to unwed mothers,

16,244 public school
students are suspended.
“Are we the answer
to all these problems?
No. But we are part
of the solution,” said
Stafford.
The
mission
statement of the Club
is to ‘enable all young
people, especially
those who need us
the most to reach their
potential as productive,
caring and responsible
citizens.’
An array of youth throughout both the summer
and school year are served in Palacios and, “We
have a big mission and that’s why it takes the whole
community to come together to do this.”
The Club impacts and tutors the youth both
educationally and morally with key elements of
having fun, in a safe and positive environment, with
opportunities, expectations and recognition while
targeting the arts, education, career development,
health, life skills, sports, fitness and recreation.
A few programs Stafford described were the Power
Hour: study and improvement, Smart Moves: helps
young people resist the use of alcohol, tobacco and
other drugs and postpone sexual activity, and Passport
to Manhood: which focuses on character.

Hectic holiday weekend on highway
WHARTON: The Fourth of July weekend was hectic
for drivers on Business 59 as 8 vehicles were involved in 4
accidents but fortunately no injuries were reported. The first
accident occurred on July 6 (Sun.) at approximately 5:17
p.m. when a vehicle hydroplaned into a highway barricade.
The highway was shut down; once the highway was opened
once again it wasn’t long until the bumper to bumper traffic
came to a complete halt. At approximately 5:43 p.m. an
18-wheeler hydroplaned on the U.S. 59 Colorado Bridge
causing 6 additional vehicles to collide. “People couldn’t
stop because traffic was backed up,” said Sgt. Jason Baker.
“You could almost call it one accident, but it was really
about three- a combination of traffic from the first accident
and the wet roadways.”- Wharton Journal Spectator

Emergency farm loans for
drought caused losses
now accepted by FSA
Applications for emergency farm loans for losses caused by
drought are being accepted at the Farm Service Agency (FSA)
office located in Wharton, Ms. Gail A Hoskins said recently.
Matagorda County is one of 5 in Texas recently named by
Secretary of AgricultureTom Visack, eligible for loans to cover part of actual production and physical losses resulting from
the drought.
Ms. Hoskins said farmers may be eligible for loans of up
to 100% of their actual losses or the operating loan needed
to continue the agricultual business, which ever is less. For
farmers unable to obtain credit from private commercial lenders, the interest rate if 3.125 percent.
“As a general rule, a farmers must have suffered at least a
30 percent loss of production to be eligible for an FSA emergency loan”, Ms. Hoskins said. Farmers participating in the
Federal Crop Insurance program will have to consider proceeds from those programs in determining their loss.
Applications for loans under this emergency designation
will be acepted until March 2, 2015 but farmers should apply
as soon as possible. Delays in applying could create backlogs
in processing, with possible delays into the new farming season”, Ms. Hoskins said.
FSA is a credit agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It is authorized to provide disaster emergency loans
to recognized farmers who work at and rely on farming for
a substantial part of their living. Eligibility is extended to
individual farmsers who meet U.S. citizenship requirements
and to farming partnerships, corporations, or cooperatives in
which U.S. citizenship requirements are met by individuals
holding a majority interest.
The FSA office in Wharton is open from 8:00 am to 4:30
pm, Monday through Friday. Additional information regarding disaster Assistance Programs may be found online at
http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov.
USDA seeks lender applications
to finance rconstruction/rehab
of rural rental housing
Agriculture Deputy Under
Secretary Doug O’Brien recently announced that USDA
is seeking applications from
eligible lenders for loan guarantees to finance the construction or rehabilitation of
rural rental housing.
“Working to ensure that
individuals and families in
rural areas have safe, decent
and affordable housing is a
major part of USDA Rural
Development’s
mission,”
O’Brien said. “USDA’s housing programs make a real difference in the lives of thousands of rural Americans
nationwide by helping them
obtain housing opportunities
that they might not otherwise
have. Revitalizing rural rental housing helps create construction jobs and maintain
safe and stable rural communities.”
“Meeting the housing needs
of rural Texans is a critical
goal of the long term sustainability of our communities,”
said Paco Valentin, USDA
Rural Development Texas
State Director. “USDA Rural
Development is committed to
ensuring these communities
are provided the opportunity
for affordable housing and an
enhanced standard of living.”
USDA is seeking proposals
from lenders for loans under
the Guaranteed Rural Rental
Housing Program. The De-
☛
partment plans to make up to
$150 million available. Approved applications from prior years’ notices will be the
first to receive funding.
Loan guarantees are available to construct, acquire and
rehabilitate affordable rural
rental housing. USDA will review responses submitted by
eligible lenders, on the lender’s letterhead, and signed
by both the prospective borrower and lender. Although
a complete application is not
required in response to this
notice, eligible lenders may
submit a complete application with a response.
The response deadline is
December 31, 2015 to the
Texas USDA Rural Development State Office, 101 South
Main Street, Suite 102, Temple, Texas 76501. Details are
on page 29159 of the July 16,
2014 Federal Register or located online at http://www.
gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-201405-21/pdf/2014-11733.pdf.
Selected responses that develop into complete applications will normally be funded
with the fiscal year funds
available on the date the application is completed.
Since 2009, USDA has provided new or rehabbed rental
homes to 16,000 families
through the Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program.

Texas sets dove,
teal seasons
Dove hunters will have more opportunity later in the season with dates and bag limits finalized by the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department this last week.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has approved the 20142015 Texas dove season, including a 70-day season and 15bird daily bag statewide, and a 16-day early teal and Canada
goose season.
The traditional September 1 dove season opening day in the
North and Central Zones remains; this year falling on Labor
Day Monday. However, the first segment in those zones will
be shorter than last season, closing on Monday, Oct. 20. The
season will reopen Friday, Dec. 19 and run through Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2015 in the North and Central Zones.
In the South Zone and Special White-winged Dove Area, the
first segment will be shortened by five days compared to last
year, and those days would be added to the end of the second segment. The South Zone opens Friday, Sept. 19 and runs
through Monday, Oct. 20. The second segment will run Friday,
Dec. 19 through Sunday, Jan. 25, 2015.
The daily bag limit for doves statewide is 15 and the possession limit is 45.
The Special White-winged Dove Area will be restricted to
afternoononly (noon to sunset) hunting the first two full September weekends on Sept. 6-7 and 13-14. Hunting in this area
will reopen Friday, Sept. 19 and continue through Monday,
Oct. 20, and then reopen Friday, Dec. 19 through Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2015. During the early two weekends, the daily
bag limit is 15 birds, to include not more than two mourning
doves and two white-tipped doves. Once the general season
opens, the aggregate bag limit will be 15 with no more than
two white-tipped doves.
A 16-day statewide early teal and Eastern Zone Canada
goose season will run Saturday, Sept. 13 through Sunday, Sept.
28. The daily bag on teal remains six, with a possession limit
of 18. Bag limit for Canada geese will be three and a possession limit of 6 in the Eastern Zone only.

Valuable Player honors on the 1994 JuCo National Champoionship team.
After his time at Trintity Valley, Haynes
went on to play two seasons at the University
of Houston, where he received All-Conference
recognition in 1995 and 1996.
Haynes served two years in the NFL as a
member of the Indianapolis Colts’ practice
squad.
During the 2012 season, Haynes football
life came full circle as he returned to the sidelines of his alma mater as an assistant coach.
During the 2013 campaign, Haynes was elevated to a varsity assistant position and resumed to roam the sidelines of Shark Stadium
and each opposing stadium every Friday night.
He also served as JV boys basketball coach
and boys and girls track assistant coach.
Haynes was a bigger than life figure on and
off the field, but his heart was even bigger.
The impression Haynes left on all those he
encountered will be felt long into the future.
Haynes leaves behind his wife, LaShonda,
and three boys, Da Wayne, Gary III and Kaiden.

coach, and when he spoke his players listened. (Beacon Photos by Ryan
