MCND declares South Bay Marina as ‘surplus’
Prospect eyes location for possible waterfront restaurant
BY TERRY MOSIER
A waterfront restaurant along with additional
amenities may soon be on the horizon for Palacios’
South Bay Marina, a property of the Matagorda
County Navigation District #1.
At last week’s monthly meeting, with Commissioner Bryan Fields absent, Port Director Debbie
Morris informed the Commissioners of recent
meetings with a potential prospect interested in a
possible lease and development of South Bay Marina.
During a portion of her Operations/ Promotion &
Development report, Morris said she and Matagorda County Economic Development Corp. Executive Director Eva Peterson met with the prospect,
who has visions of additional amenities in the marina in the short term, as well as a waterfront restaurant on the adjacent property.
In other news regarding South Bay Marina, following Executive Session, the Commissioners
voted to declare South Bay Marina and adjacent
property of approximately 2-acres as surplus to the
needs of the District.
Seeking clarification, Port Director Morris was

Summer squall floods Main St.
THE City by the Sea was briefly the City ‘under’ the sea as last Thursday’s summer squall
dumped buckets of rain throughout the day, with
the heaviest downfall coming in the mid-morning
hours. During the heaviest showers, local drains
were overrun by volume and left the intersection
of Fourth St. & Main St. partially submerged
(above). Even Palacios’ finest, members of the
Palacios Police Department, sought refuge under
the canopy of Main St. Carwash during the heaviest of downpours. (Beacon Photo by Ryan West)

Cobblestone continues to drive PEDC
BY RYAN WEST
Palacios Beacon-Publisher
The Cobblestone Hotel project continues to lead discussions a the Palacios
Economic Development Corporation
(PEDC) Board of Directors meeting
following the first public hearing of the
proposed purchase of the 2.2-acres of
land at the recent Palacios City Council
meeting
PEDC Executive Director Eva Peterson said that Councilwoman Judy
Chavez asked several questions that
were good at the Public Hearing but
noted it wasn’t anything she didn’t anticipate.
“Overall I felt it was a pretty well re-
ceived project,” said Peterson. “There
was some concern about spending funds
prior to the project going forward or before anything was complete.”
Peterson pointed out the sale of land is
a show of confidence and support of the
project from the PEDC.
(See PEDC, Page 2)
The City of Palacios sales
tax rebate remains on the rise
for the month of August, but
has yet to surpass last year’s
total.
For sales tax collected
last June, the city received
$62,505 from the State
Comptroller’s Office, which
collects the tax and rebates
it to all the taxing entities.
That’s an increase of $5,005 or
8.7-percent when compared
to August of last year.
However,
Palacios
continues to trail behind
last year’s figures. Year to
date, the city of Palacios
has received $399,861 in
sales tax rebates. That is a
decrease of 10.44-percent,
when compared to the same
figure one year ago.
According to the latest
data released by the State
Comptroller’s Office, August
local sales tax allocations
totaled $760.2 million, an
increase
of
7.6-percent
compared to August 2014.
“July’s modest growth in
sales tax revenue is in line
with the biennial revenue
estimate issued in January,”
stated Texas Comptroller
Glenn Hegar. “Stronger
growth in receipts from
consumer driven sectors,
including
retail
trade,
restaurants and services
offset declining receipts from
oil and gas related sectors.”
Among the area cities, the
majority saw an increase in

the family escaped, all their belongings were lost including the children’s school

Harris has experience both playing and coaching. “I’ve
seen a lot of young men who have potential,” said Harris.
“It’s a second chance.” “Some of these young men did

USDA Rural Development Office Day today at CofC
Courtesy USDA
The USDA Rural Development Angleton Area Office, which provides
service to Matagorda County, will be
holding an office day on Wed. (Aug. 26)
in Palacios. A representative of USDA
Rural Development will be at the Palacios Chamber of Commerce Office, 420
Main, from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. to provide
information regarding the availability of
loans and grants to assist residents and
organizations.
Assistance available to rural residents
can help with the purchase or construction of homes, through the agency’s di-
PEDC
As for the rumblings about
the $87,000 price tag for the
City’s 2.2-acres of waterfront
property, Peterson pointed
out that the sale is a “cooperative effort between the
PEDC and City and that the
sale price is the value that the
land was appraised.
With the funding for the
Cobblestone project reaching the halfway point, Palacios City Manager David
Kocurek chimed in and said,
“Again, I want to stress this.
For the Palaicos Pavilion and
to get more people into the
Palacios Recreation Center to
advertise and do some events,
you’ve got to have a place for
people to stay.”
“You’ve read it in the paper,” Kocurek continued.
“The Recreation Association
wants to give the Rec. Center
to the City of Palaicos to run
and everything, but I can’t
recommend accepting it to
Council because there aren’t
enough funds to improve it
to make it work more efficiently.”
On the importance of Cobblestone to the waterfront,
Peterson stated, “I have a real
estate developer who would
buy up sites for a reception
hall or event center in a second - if there was a place to
stay.”
Continuing on Palacios’
picturesque waterfront, Peterson noted preliminary discussions with Kocurek and
Debbie Morris about “protecting our waterfront investment.”
As of now the area is zoned
to allow for commercial and
industrial uses.
“We’ve had some investors
ask about how do they protect their investment. We’ve
rect and guaranteed programs, and can
help with the repair and rehabilitation of
homes.
Assistance is available through USDA
Rural Development community programs and business and cooperative
programs to enhance the quality of life
for rural Texans. Community programs
provide funds to governmental entities, nonprofit organizations and Indian
Tribes to enlarge, improve or construct
schools, libraries, medical clinics, assisted living centers, public buildings,
community centers and fund new and
improved water and wastewater facilities.

WHARTON: Wharton County 329th District Court
Judge Randy Clapp signed the execution order for the
killer of a Wharton County game warden. Convicted in
November 2008, James Garrett Freeman is scheduled
for execution on Jan. 27, 2016. “At this time there is no
reason to believe he will not be executed on 27 January
2016,” Wharton County District Attorney Ross Kurtz
stated. “However, it is not unusual for a first execution
date to be stayed.” Freeman was 26 when he lead
authorities on a two-hour chase ending in a shoot out
outside the Lissie Cemetery. Freeman then discharged
about 30 rounds using an AK-47 in the direction of law
enforcement officers. In the exchange Officer Justin Hurst
was fatally struck. Freeman had initially been confronted
by a law enforcement officer over shooting a bird sitting
on a fence. -El Campo Leader News

had preliminary talks on
creating a waterfront district
to prevent a shrimp processing facility from opening up
next to Cobblestone and we
wouldn’t want that.”
Kocurek, Morris and Peterson all pointed out that this
wouldn’t be rezoning of the
area.
“It would act as an overlay district,” stated Peterson.
“It wouldn’t change the underlying property rights but
would help us with compatible uses.”
MCEDC Report
In her monthly economic
activity report on the ongoings in Matagorda County,
Peterson presented the Board
with a refreshed spreadsheet
to depict the active prospects.
Peteson briefly touched on
the seven ongoing prospects
and conlcuded with “A lot is
happening”.
LSCNRA
Peterson didn’t report anything new on the proposed
Lone Star Conservation National Recreation Area (LSCNRA), but did say she’s talked with Port Director Morris
about setting up a joint meeting with the Navigation District Board and the PEDC
Board to have new discussions with a new presentation
by an LSCNRA representative.
Morris said, “(The meeting) would probably be at
the MCND#1 regular board
meeting and it’ll be a small
session right up front.”
Morris noted previously
having a lengthy presentation on what the LSCNRA is
and said “Their message has
changed over the years.”
They’re re-tooling their
message, but we want them
to be sure that what they’re
selling is something we want
to buy,” added Morris.
“There are some mixed
feelings out there all along
the Gulf Coast. But there are
some advantages to being in
on this in the early stages. We
want to make sure we don’t
miss out on something that
could benefit our area.”
Peterson reported having
recently met with Port of
Houston Authority Economic
Analyst, Jordan Frisbee and
said she was really excited
they reached out to us and
want to know more about us.
“They knew about the Navigation District and the Port
of Bay City but they didn’t
know too much about Palacios, Sargent and the rest of
the county.
According to Peterson, the
Port of Houston is interested
in diverting some companies
our way since Matagorda
County is non-attainment.
Peterson and Carolyn
Thames from Workforce
Solutions recently met with
Houton-Galveston
Area
Council (HGAC) Account
Executive Susan Dickson and
informed the board “there is
a lot of funding available for
the PEDC and the Palacios
Community Hub.”
Approved Items
The Board approved the
funding agreement between
the PEDC and the MEDC,
which pays $35,000
for the part-time services of
Peterson as the PEDC Executive Director.
The Board tabled discussions on a proposed marketing video.
Other Items
The Board discussed and
opted to withdraw it’s prior
approval for the Hub’s grant
request, citing the grant request didn’t fit the usage of
4B sales tax funds.
Next Meeting
The next regular meeting
of the PEDC Board of Directors will be held Sept. 16, at
1:15 p.m. at the Chamber of
Commerce office, located at

AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safety
(DPS) began increasing DWI
patrols Aug. 21 and will continue to do so until Sept. 7,
which includes the Labor
Day holiday weekend. During this period, DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in
high-risk locations at times
when alcohol-related crashes
are most frequent.
“Impaired drivers who take
to the roadways put other
travelers in harm’s way, and
these increased patrols during the Labor Day holiday are
designed to save lives by getting these dangerous drivers
off the road,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “The
department urges all drivers
to do their part to keep our
road and highways safe by
obeying traffic laws and not
drinking and driving.”
The increased patrols that
target impaired driving are
funded through a grant from
the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT).
DPS offers the following
tips for safe travel during the
Labor Day holiday:
• Don’t drink and drive.
Designate a driver or take a
cab.
• Eliminate distractions, including the usage of mobile
devices.
• Buckle up everyone in the
vehicle – it’s the law.
• Slow down – especially
in bad weather, construction
areas and heavy traffic.
• Slow down or move over
for police, fire and EMS vehicles as well as tow trucks
and TxDOT vehicles stopped
on the side of the road with
emergency lights activated –
AUSTIN – As Texas students head back to school, the
Texas Department of Public
Safety (DPS) is reminding
Texans to watch for children
who are walking to and from
school or waiting for buses.
Drivers should be especially
cautious around school buses
– which make frequent stops
– and always follow traffic
laws related to school buses
and school zones.
“DPS urges Texas drivers
to use extra caution on the
roadways in their communities as the academic year gets
underway,” said DPS Direc-
tor Steven McCraw. “DPS
will not tolerate motorists
who disregard school zone
speed limits or illegally pass
stopped school buses – these
reckless drivers not only
break the law, but they put
our children in danger.”
One of the most dangerous
times of a student’s trip on a
school bus is when they are
entering or exiting the bus.
Drivers are urged to slow
down and pay attention in
school zones since children
may step into a roadway
without checking for oncoming traffic.
it’s the law.
• Don’t drive fatigued.
• Drive defensively, as holiday travel may present additional challenges.
• Make sure your vehicle is
properly maintained before
your trip begins.

State law requires that approaching drivers stop when
a bus is stopped and operating a visual signal – either red
flashing lights or a stop sign. Drivers should not proceed
until the school bus resumes
motion; the driver is signaled
by the bus driver to proceed;
or the visual signal is no longer activated. A driver does
not have to stop for a school
bus if it is on a highway with
roadways separated by an
intervening space or physical barrier. (If a highway is
divided only by a left-turning
lane, the roadways are not
considered separated, and
drivers must stop for school
buses.)
Drivers who illegally pass
school buses face fines up to
$1,250 for a first offense. For
individuals convicted of this
offense more than once, the
law allows DPS to suspend
the driver license for up to
six months. (A ticket for illegally passing a school bus
cannot be dismissed through
defensive driving.)

University of Houston ‘saved’ lots of us working folks
Hundreds, probably thousands, of people have been
able to gain a college degree
by taking advantage of the
Houston job market and attending the University of
Houston in pursuit of that
diploma. Two of those sheepskins have a permanent place
of honor in my household —
Life Mate’s and mine.
Of course, what I write
here is based on my experiences and knowledge in nearly eight decades of living.
Some of the jobs I worked
had drawbacks that included
teasing, but I wasn’t going to
be deterred. That trip toward
a diploma was extremely important.
My particular journey actually began at another school
— what was then Sam Houston State Teachers College,
a 1955 enrollment of 1900,
give or take a couple of dozen. I had a meager scholarship and landed a first semester job as an evening cook
at the Club Café across the
street from the campus.
My luck soared at the beginning of the second semester when I got a job as Sam
WILLIS WEBB
Guest Columnist
Houston’s sports publicity director. It was a time-consuming job but was in line with
my journalism major and my
interests. Anyway it got me
out of the kitchen.
I managed, with just a little help from my parents, to
get in two years there before
running out of money, so I
took a job as news editor of
my hometown paper. After a
year there, I managed to save
a little and buy a five-yearold car, which I left with my
mother since they’d stumbled
upon some hard times. I went
off to the University of Houston, where I gained two $500

scholarships (one for each

I knew I’d still have to work
so I landed a job as secretaryreceptionist in the UH Journalism and Graphic Arts Department.
In 1958, that drew snickers
from some people, including a
dean of the school who failed
to identify himself when I
answered his phone call:
“Ho, ho, ho! I didn’t know
they had a male secretary!,”
which drew a slammed down
phone. Fortunately, I didn’t
lose my $1-an-hour job, my
$5 a week spot as copy editor
of the weekly student newspaper or the scholarship.
The
second
semester
brought a better job, that as
general manager of a small
MCND
contacted and stated that
plans are for the location to
be up for bids at a later date.
Continuing the Operations/
Promotion & Development
report, Morris reported the
bids for dredging are due into
the Corps. of Engineers by
Sept. 14. Unfortunately, due
to the amount of material in
the Gulf Intercoastal Water Way base bid, Palacios
is no longer considered part
of the base bid, but will be
treated as an option instead.
Depending on how the bids
look, Morris said, “We may
or may not be dredged this
year.”
Morris reported Matagorda
County was recently included in the Governor’s Emergency Disaster Proclamation
due to the impacts of Tropical Storm Bill in this area.
As a result, the Port should
expect some of the damage
incurred on the port to be
eligible for reimbursement.
This includes clean up and
debris removal.
Representatives from TxDOT visited the Port on Aug.
19. They included Federal
Affairs Liaison Melanie Alvord, Maritime Division’s
Stephanie Cribbs and Transportation Planner Kale Driemeier.
“We discussed the port’s
economic impact on our region and some of the criteria
for small port set-asides in
funding for port and “outside the gate” infrastructure,”
said Morris. “They (were to)
attend the Texas Ports Association’s Port Authority Advisory Committee meeting in
Victoria (Aug. 20) to update
members on various potential Federal and State funding
streams.”
Morris recently attended a
TCEQ Watershed Stakeholders meeting which hopes to
address cleanup of non-point
weekly newspaper in suburban Galena Park. Mom and
Dad helped me get a rustedout 1952 Chevrolet coupe
which carried me back and
forth between my room at my
aunt and uncle’s house, work
and the UH campus, where
I’d become a full nighttime
student. Oh, and it finally got
me off those dang city buses.
Heck, I got to where I was
feeling flush and I went to
a good Galena Park auto
dealer advertiser and traded
my rusty Chevy for a brand
spanking new 1960 Morris Minor two-door coupe. I
was introduced to the great
American way of financing
and monthly payments. That
British Motor Corp. vehicle,
their answer to the German
Volkswagen “bug,” got me
through college and beyond.
Three
months
before
graduation, I landed a magazine associate editor’s job at
Texas Industry, the official
publication of what was then
the Texas Manufacturers Association, a lobby group for
business.
And, that little Morris put
in considerable mileage with
traveling around the state to
do issues of the magazine on
Texas cities and their industries. Plus, it enabled me to
finish UH, listen to a droning
graduation speech from Oveta Culp Hobby, then publisher of the Houston Post daily
newspaper, and the first U.S.
Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.
I love both Sam Houston
and the University of Houston and it gives me the distinction of rooting for two
colleges earnestly.
However, UH finished imbuing in me what my parents
had started — an appreciation for a college education
and for the opportunities to
work and support myself
while I was attending school.

PAHA’s 6th annual Old Fashioned Ice Cream
Social next Sun. at Peaceful Pelican B&B
The Palacios Area Historical Association (PAHA) will hold its sixth annual
Old Fashioned Ice Cream Social, including a sing along and lawn games on next
Sunday (Sept. 6) from 4 to 6 p.m. on the
lawn of The Peaceful Pelican Waterfront
Bed and Breakfast at 317 East Bay Boulevard.
Tickets will be available at the door for
$6. Museum members may ask for one
free ticket. If you are not a member, you
may purchase a membership and receive
a free ticket at the door. Well, it’s the end
of the driveway, not really a door!
Again this year Linda Gamertsfelder
will lead the sing along. Come sample
the luscious variety of homemade ice
cream flavors with an array of toppings,
swing a croquet mallet, whistle a happy
tune, meet and greet your neighbors and
support your local City by the Sea Museum.
Mystery Chefs, buyers needed for
7th annual PCMC Box Supper
Fundraiser held Sept. 24 at KC Hall
Save the date for Palacios
Community Medical Center’s 7th annual Hospital Box
Supper Fundraiser to be held
Sept. 24 at the Palacios KC
Hall, located at 710 Main
Street.
Local mystery chefs will
provide a box supper for 2
or more in a box decorated
and designed by a ‘Mystery
Chef’’. The box supper will
contain either a hot or cold
ready to eat meal, with soft
drinks, beer and wine available for purchase.
This year, to ensure that
our community of supporters get a box supper to enjoy
earlier in the evening, we
will try a different approach.
The Box Suppers will be bid
on by silent auction. There
will be a social hour from 6
– 7 p.m., when everyone can
enjoy complimentary hors
d’oeuvres and silent auction bidding on a box supper,
which will contain a hot or
cold meal, ready to eat. Bidding will close at 7 p.m. with
winners of the Box Suppers
announced around 7:15 p.m.
This should allow everyone
to sit and enjoy their meal together, bring your friends and
bid on a meal together. The
live auction will begin at 7:30
p.m. We will also have the
famous bucket raffle, a quilt
raffled by the Blue Belles and
other silent auction items.
The mystery meals will
be auctioned off to the highest bidder by auctioneers
Dan Tucker and Matagorda County Judge Nate Mc-
Donald. Bidders can be an
individual(s) or small groups
who share the meal. Bring
your friends and bid on a box
together.
You don’t have to be a Box
Supper bidder to help support
the local hospital on the evening as there will be the famous Bucket raffle and a live
auction of several wonderful
items.
All proceeds from this
fundraiser will benefit the
Palacios Community Medical Center/Palacios Medical
Clinic. If you would like to
donate a box supper or other
auction item, please contact
Kathy Lee, Business Development Coordinator as soon
as possible so we can put you
on the list, call 361-972-2511
ext. 4057.

USDA Rural Development home loan program
can be a great deal for rural home buyers
Courtesy USDA
With an abundance of
homes for sale in most of
rural Texas, buyers continue
to have plenty of choices
and lots of bargaining power. With the help of USDA
Rural Development’s No
Down Payment home loan
programs, those dreams of
homeownership may still
come true.
USDA Rural Development’s Rural Housing Direct
Home Loan Program offers
100 percent financing with
no down payment required
for low and lower income
individuals or families at a
3.25 percent interest rate.
These loans are made directly
through USDA Rural Development and are offered for
a period of 30-38 years. The
repayment on the loan may
be subsidized by the Federal
Government, based on the
household income. Direct
loans may be made for the
purchase of an existing home
or new home construction.
The loan amount is determined by repayment ability
of the borrower. Loans made
under this program are to individuals and families with
income that does not exceed
80 percent of the median
income level of the county
Pantry Patter
The Robert Duran
Caring & Sharing Food
Pantry
BY FRAN FULLER
No “hot” jokes -- this heat
is no joke! It will not last a
lot longer-- the end of September we should feel a
break. Just be sure to take all
of the precautions during this
extreme heat.
The pantry has been able
to give generous amounts
of food the past couple of
months. Thanks to all that
make this possible! July and
August Dora and Bob Turner
donated bunches of bananas
to some of the homebound
in Palacios -- they have done
this in the past-- I am sure
the folks certainly appreciate
their generousity.
The Presbyterians over the
years have given an offering
on the fifth Sunday of those
months having a fifth Sunday. Last year the total for 4
offerings was $1263.20 -- so
just a little adds up to a lot.
As many of you know, a
kind and generous gentle-
man and former resident of
Palacios , donated one hundred box fans to those who
might need one. My heart
was touched one day recently when I was at one of
the local dollar stores, and
observed a couple buying
a fan -- I touched this lady
on the shoulder and asked if
they needed a fan-- she said
“yes we do” -- I told her to
come with me -- I had one
in my car. She thanked me
profusely. Just another example of random acts of
kindness. Thank you Mr Fan
Man!!

would not otherwise qualify for a conventional loan.

Folks keep reporting
sights of great wetland
birds. Steve Goertz,
Preserve
Manager,
at Clive Runnell’s
Family Mad Island
Marsh, reported seeing a family of Sora
chicks, a type of rail.
He is also still seeing
Wood Storks. LCRA
CRESTED CARACARA
will release some water to flood the wetlands there, part of their wetlands and
waterfowl project. This should attract more birds. Steve
and Kirk Feuerbacher, a biologist with The Nature Conservancy, reported seeing 15 Mississippi Kites, “working
the smoke for insects” at their Refugio Goliad Prairie, yesterday.
Tito and Yvonne Ramos reported seeing 15 Roseate
Spoonbills during a recent road trip. They were seen at
Formosa’s Tejanos Wetlands on FM172. They continue to
see Long-billed Curlew in their yard. Miss Murphy reported seeing Common Ground Dove, Crested Caracara,
Turkey and Black Vultures, Great White and Cattle Egrets.
Tom Wise continues to see Green Herons at Schicke Pt.
The International Crane Foundation continues work
on its crane conservation plan…to conserve habitat in
their Texas wintering grounds, restore the natural hydrology of the bay systems…(San Antonio and Matagorda
where Whooping Cranes have been observed), and reduce threads/hazards to the birds, such as illegal hunting,
vandalism, power line and radio tower collisions. With an
increasing population of birds, Whooping Cranes need additional quality habitat. The best way to meet these objectives is through outreach and education.
Join the Arbor Day Foundation
in September and receive 10 free
live oak trees for planting in Texas
Everyone from Texas who
joins the Arbor Day Foundation in September will receive 10 free live oak trees
as part of the Foundation’s

Through Trees for America, everyone is encouraged to

nonprofit organization dedicated to planting trees.
“Those who plant live oak
trees will enjoy shade and
splendor for years and years
to come,” said Matt Harris,
chief executive of the Arbor
Day Foundation. “These trees
will also add to the proud heritage of Texas’ 84 Tree City
USA communities. For the
past 39 years, Tree City USA
has supported effective urban
forestry management across
Texas, and planting these
trees will enhance the state’s
tree-planting tradition.”
The trees will be shipped
postpaid at the right time for
planting between October 15
and December 10. The 6- to
12-inch trees are guaranteed
to grow or they will be replaced free of charge. Planting instructions are enclosed
with each shipment of trees.
New members of the Arbor
Day Foundation will also receive The Tree Book, which
includes information about
tree planting and care.

Nation’s biggest all-volunteer cleanup right here in Texas
Volunteers are signing up
now for the nation’s biggest
coastal cleanup on Saturday,
Sept. 26.
The 2015 Texas General
Land Office Adopt-A-Beach
Fall Cleanup takes place at 30
of Texas’ most popular tourist
beaches. Volunteers can sign
up online at www.texasadoptabeach.org to take part in a
fun-filled day at the beach
that makes a difference.
“Sign up now to join forces with thousands of other
Texans who care about the
coast,” said Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush.
“Marine debris kills wildlife
and hurts tourism, but it’s a
problem we can fix. Come
out and be a part of the solution on Saturday, Sept. 26.”
Each volunteer will be given data cards, gloves, pencils
and trash bags. All volunteers
are advised to wear closedtoe shoes, bring sunscreen
and plenty of drinking water. The Texas General Land Office Adopt-A-Beach Cleanups are held rain or shine!
Texans who are not able to
attend the cleanup can help
keep their beaches clean by
making a tax-deductible donation online at www.TexasAdoptABeach.org. There
are several different AdoptA-Beach sponsorship levels

Sharks paced by 4th, 5th & 6th
place finishes in season’s first meet
BY RYAN WEST
The Shark and Sharkette
cross country teams kicked
off the start of the running
season by hosting the Palacios Cross Country Meet last
weekend.
“It was a good first meet,
in tough muddy conditions,”
said Palacios cross country
coach Bill Fort.
“I’m proud overall of both
the boys and girls efforts.
Hopefully we will learn from
this, get better each week and
be in position at the end of
the year with a chance for a
district championship in the
boys and girls divisions.”
Three Sharks finished in
the top six and the boy harriers placed second in the team
standings behind Industrial’s
Cobras.
At the forefront of the pack
of Sharks was the sibling duo
of Sergio and Juan Mancera,
who finished in fourth
(12:42) and fifth (12:51), respectively, with fellow Shark
Miguel Gutierrez close behind in sixth (13:00).
Jacob Flores legged a
14:04 and finished the course
in 16th. Tyler Le and Tommy
Garcia rounded out the varsity Sharks in 18th (14:11) and
19th (14:22), respectively.
Sharkettes
Palacios had just two Sharkette harriers in the varsity
heat.
Tasha Turner posted a
15:06 to claim 20th. Alex
Hinds came in 33rd with a
17:08 mark.
JV Sharks
The junior varsity Sharks
captured fourth place in the
team standings. Sweeny took
the team crown, followed by
Needville and Industrial.
Palacios’ best finish came
from Eric Cerda, who legged
a 13:28 to finish in 12th. In
15th, Dominic Garcia ran a
13:41. Silverio Gonzales finished in 18th with a time of
Freshmen
using
proper
form

posted a 14:31 to claim 20th,
followed by David Cruz
in 28th (16”05) and Trey
Chavez in 30th (17:06).
JV Sharkettes
Just like the JV Sharks,
the sub-varsity Sharkettes
finished fourth in the team
standings .
Palacios freshman Gabriella Figirova led the jayvee
squad with a 15:10 to finish in
sixth. Bailey Grones legged a
15:57 to take 13th. Elizabeth
Mancera (17:22) and Mariela
Ortiz (17:23) finished 24th
and 25h, respectively. Palacios’ Marian Gomez finished
27th (17:27) and Maria Serrato took 28th (17:48). The
JV harriers were rounded by
the 39th place finish of Maria
Hurtado (20:43) and Milca
Rodriguez’s 40th place finish
in 20:50.
The Shark and Sharkette
harriers will be off and running again at the Brazoswood
meet this Sat. (Aug. 29)
The fury that comes with
early season volleyball was
on full display with the hometown Sharkettes winning seven of their nine matches on
the hardwood last week.
The Sharkettes dropped a
pair of games in the Ganado
Tournament last week, but
regrouped to capture consolation with three consecutive
wins on the tourney’s final
day.
“We played really well the
first day of the tournament
and then the second day we
seemed to be flat,” said Sharkette head coach Barbara
Buckley-Peeples.
“We made too many errors and ended up losing two
games, which we were in
control of in the beginning
and then we lost focus. The
girls played really well on
Saturday and won all three
games to win the consolation
trophy.”
The Sharkettes navigated
the first day of tourney action
with three straight wins over
Sacred Heart (28-26, 25-16),
Ganado (25-23, 25-17) and
Wharton (25-15, 25-17).
Last Friday, the Sharkettes
were cooked by Rice in
straight sets, 24-26, 14-25, to
finish second in their Pool.
In the first game of bracket
play, Peeples’ spikers jumped
atop Boling 25-21 to claim
the first set, then fell 18-25,
19-25 in back-to-back sets to
concede the match.
Instead of allowing Friday’s losses to carrier over
into Saturday’s performance,
the Sharkettes rallied and
reeled off another three
straight wins (Tidehaven:
25-9, 25-12; Ganado: 25-15,
25-8; and Wharton: 22-25,
25-20, 25-18) to take Consolation.
In the Consolation game,
Sharkette sophomore Elizabeth Ortiz tallied 26 digs and
finished with nine points,
three kills and a pair of aces.
Katelyn Sexton tacked on 15
digs, 14 kills, eight points

Sharks kickoff 2015
season at home
against Boling in
gridiron opener Fri.
BY RYAN WEST
Kids today might not be
old enough to remember that
country tune that led into
each week of Monday Night
Football.
For football fanatics, Hank
Williams, Jr.’s “Are you ready
for some football?” is sure to
get the blood flowing. And in
Texas, where football is almost a religion, the only answer that will suffice....”Oh
heck yeah.”
After suviving the stifling
heat and humidity for the past
several weeks, opening week
has officially arrived for the
Palacios football Sharks, as
they kickoff the 2015 gridiron season at 7:30 p.m. this
Friday (Aug. 28) as they host
Boling’s Bulldogs.
The Sharks enter year
three under head coach Brad
Bowden and are seeking to
continue the year-to-year improvement as the Bowden led
Sharks went from one win in
2013, to two wins in 2014.
As for this Friday’s contest,
it’ll be the fourth consecutive season opening meeting between the boys in red
and green, with the Bulldogs
holding a 3-1 advantage.
The Shark and Bulldog rivaly culminates for the 48th
time and began way back in
1931.
Boling has really had the
Sharks by the fin over the decades, compiling a 32-14-1
record.
Boling shredded the Sharks
69-27 in last years affair.
The Bulldogs churned out
over 500-yards of offense
in last year’s season opener,
with nearly all coming on the
ground.
The Sharks last victory
over the Buldgos came in
2012’s season opener where
Palacios edged Boling 20-12
and started Palacios run to a
5-0 start on the season.
THE cross coutnry season is officially underway with last week’s running of the Palacios Meet at the Marine Education Center. The varsity Shark harriers were led by
(left to right in photo) Sergio & Juan Mancera, Tyler Le and Miguel Gutierrez. For
