shored up a vacancy on the
City Council only to have
another vacancy pop up in
another area - much like the
City’s ongoing battle with the
dreaded water leaks.
After numerous calls for
applicants, the Palacios City
Council settled on one to fill
the vacancy on the Council.
Wayne Dodd was selected
by the City Council, out of
four applicants, to fill the unexpired term of City Council

after a brief executive session at last Tuesday’s Regular Council Meeting, and

It was revealed at last Tuesday’s Palacios Beautification & Pavilion Committee
Board Meeting that the Palacios Seawall Commission
has pledged an additional
$250,000 toward the construction of the new Pavilion.
That is in addition to
$250,000 previously pledged,
and brings their total commitment to $500,000. That is a
much needed shot in the arm
for the project that has, as recently as several months ago,
been underfunded by over
$500,00.
The South Texas Nuclear

for 2016, and the same is being sought for 2017. The R.B.

USDA Rural Development Office Day
next Wednesday at Chamber Office
The USDA Rural Development Angleton Area Office, which provides service to Matagorda County, will be holding an office day on July 13 in Palacios.
A representative of USDA Rural Development will be at the Palacios Chamber
of Commerce Office, 420 Main St. in
Palacios, from 10 a.m. – 12:00 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 direct 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.
USDA Rural Development business
and cooperative programs provide the
needed capital to expand economic opportunities and development in rural areas throughout Texas by working with
banks and community lenders. There
is no minimum loan size and the maximum loan size is up to $25 million.
USDA Rural Development was created in 1994 and with a mission to use
our resources to help enhance the quality of life for the nation’s rural residents.

Senator Kolkhorst tours Lane City Resevoir Project
Senator Lois W. Kolkhorst
and the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) hosted
a tour on Wednesday, June
22 to provide local leaders in
the area with the first look at
the Lane City Reservoir since
construction began in January. Scheduled to be completed
Pictured are: (left to right) LCRA Board Member

in 2018, the reservoir is located off the main channel of
the Colorado River in Wharton County. With a cost of
approximately $250 million,
the project is expected to add
90,000 acre-feet of firm water to the region’s water supply. "This is the first significant Colorado River project
of its kind below the Austin
dams in decades, as well as
being the first reservoir built
in Texas in over 30 years,"
said Kolkhorst. "With the
recent floods, if the project
had already been built, this
reservoir could have been
filled almost seven times in
the last few months of rain.
That's why this reservoir is a
giant step forward in meeting
the future water needs of our
region." The Lane City Reservoir is
being built to take advantage
of the wetter climate in the
lower basin of the Colorado
River and is designed to capture and store runoff gener-
ated by rain that flows downstream of Lake Travis and
the Austin area. The Lane
City Reservoir will store
more water than Lake Marble
Falls, Lake Austin and Lady
Bird Lake combined.
"Many thanks should go to
the past and present LCRA
board members and their
staff for making this plan a
reality," said Kolkhorst. "I
am hopeful that this off-channel reservoir can serve as a
model for other basins across
the state that face similar water demands and scarcity."
Additional benefits of the
new reservoir include lessening the demands on the
Highland Lakes by improving the supply and reliability
of downstream water for agriculture and industry. The
project is also expected to
reduce the chance that "interruptible water contracts" will
be forced to be cut back or
cut off to the lower basin during future droughts.

Ex-mayor arrested for illegal gambling operation
SCHULENBURG: Leo’s Stop-N-Shop, located at 1306
Lyon’s Ave. in Schulenburg, was closed last Friday morning for illegal gambling. According to Fayette County
Sheriff Keith Korenek, an arrest warrant was issued for
the owner, Leo Kopecky, and a search warrant was issued
for the business after several weeks of investigation into
the illegal gambling. The warrants were served at the business, and Kopecky, 65, former mayor of Schulenburg, was
arrested and charged with promotion of illegal gambling.
The business, four eight-liner machines, and approximately $2,700 in U.S. currency were seized by the sheriff’s office. - The Banner Press
Oakbend moving in Wharton
WHARTON: OakBend Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Joe Freuderberger brought some good news to
Wharton residents during his most recent visit last week.
Speaking to the Wharton Rotary Club last Wednesday,
Freuderberger said he has received a green light from
his hospital’s board to move forward with plans to take
over operations of Gulf Coast Medical Center in Wharton.
There’s just one catch, or maybe that should be 800,000
catches. The hospital needs $800,000 to fund the start-up
costs of taking over the operations. Freuderberger said they
are still waiting for the current owner of the hospital to pay
off the debt or declare bankruptcy. “They have yet to do
that,” Freuderberger said. - Wharton Journal-Spectator
Food bank treasurer embezzled over $30k
NAVASOTA: Navasota Police Department Chief Justin
Leeth confirmed that Tracy Ashley, 44, of Navasota, has
been arrested for allegedly embezzling more than $31,000
from the food pantry and clothing center dating back to
2011. Ashley, who had served as treasurer for the Christian
Community Service Center, is currently housed at Grimes
County Jail. She is being held on $25,000 bond on seconddegree felony theft charges. According to Patricia Gaston,
a longtime worker at the food bank, Ashley arrived at the
board meeting on May 23, “and marched in and told us,”
to the shock and dismay of those at the meeting. “There
was stunned silence from everybody,” Gaston said. “We
don’t know what would have precipitated her telling us,
or why, at that moment, she decided to do it.” Gaston said
the food bank was “under the impression we had $24,000
in the bank and “we were left with only $200 in the bank.”

utility customers save energy, lower bills
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently
announced a new program that will help rural residents conserve energy and save money
on their utility bills. The new "http://www.
rd.usda.gov/programs-services/rural-energysavings-program" Rural Energy Savings Program (RESP) will make $52 million in loans
available to energy providers to help rural
families and small businesses reduce their energy use.
“Investments like the ones we will make
through the Rural Energy Savings Program
not only reduce energy costs for consumers,
but also build a cleaner and more sustainable
energy future,” Vilsack said. “This program
is the latest of many financing options USDA
provides to rural communities to expand energy efficiency efforts and strengthen rural
economies.”
“RESP will provide loans to rural energy
providers who in turn fund projects for consumers to make energy efficiency improvements in their homes and businesses that will
lower their energy use,” said USDA Rural
Development Texas State Director Paco Valentin. “We would like to encourage all of our
current and former Rural Utilities Service
borrowers or entities that provide retail electric service in rural Texas areas to consider
this program.”
RESP borrowers finance loans at zero percent interest for up to 20 years, making the
program an attractive and affordable option
to finance energy-saving measures. Energy
customers participating in programs financed
through RESP then repay the loans at an interest rate of up to 3 percent for up to 10 years
through their electric bills.
RESP builds upon the work that USDA
Rural Development has done to help improve the energy efficiency of single- and

multi-family housing, businesses, farms and
utilities. It aligns with the Obama Administration’s StrikeForce for Rural Growth and Opportunity and Promise Zone initiatives to help
revitalize communities and expand economic
opportunity through targeted funding, technical assistance and partnerships. RESP will be
used to focus on low-income, high-energycost communities.
Congress authorized the program in the
2014 Farm Bill. RUS administers RESP as
well as the similar Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Loan Program (EECLP). RESP
is open to a broader pool of eligible borrowers, has a zero percent interest rate, and has
a longer loan term than EECLP. To be considered for RESP funding, applicants should
submit a letter of intent by August 5, 2016.
E-mail the letter of intent to RESP@wdc.
usda.gov. Applications will be processed on
a first-come/first-served basis until funds are
expended. For additional information, see
page 40262 of the June 21 Federal Register.
USDA’s Rural Utilities Service also administers infrastructure programs that bring
broadband, safe drinking water and improved
wastewater treatment facilities to rural communities.
Since 2009, USDA Rural Development has
invested $31.3 billion in 963 electric projects
that have financed more than 185,000 miles
of transmission and distribution lines serving
4.6 million rural residents. USDA also has invested $11 billion to start or expand 103,000
rural businesses; helped 1.1 million rural residents buy homes; funded nearly 7,000 community facilities such as schools, public safety and health care facilities; and helped bring
high-speed Internet access to nearly 6 million
rural residents and businesses. For more information, visit www.usda.gov/results

middle of town. My paper
— The Fort Bend Mirror —
owned a multipurpose van. It
was used to haul newspapers
from the printing plant to the
post office and to the news
racks.
The second purpose was
to be a rolling billboard. The
white van had the name of
the paper in big red letters on
each side of the vehicle. (A
third purpose: it was my principal mode of transportation.)
While I was pounding
away on the keyboard in my
office that night, a Texas Department of Public Safety
(Highway Patrol) car came
flying down the street, emergency lights flashing and siren blaring.
I grabbed my camera, ran
for the van and took up pursuit of the emergency vehicle
out U.S. Highway 90A toward East Bernard. The accident was about 10 miles out
and flying low with the Highway Patrol got me there in no
time at all. I did notice at one
point I was pushing it at near
100 miles per hour.
It was a god-awful scene.
A young man who, officers
later told me, was obviously
drunk, had struck an oncoming vehicle head-on, killing all four passengers. The
passengers were two elderly
sisters and their two teenaged nephews. All four bodies were still in the car when
I arrived.
I wound up taking a lot of
photos because, in those days,
the DPS was not equipped
with their own camera(s).
They wanted copies of pictures from all possible angles.
So, I obliged the officers,
a not uncommon practice in
those more informal times.
After shooting from every
possible angle, I got back
in my rolling billboard and
headed back to Rosenberg. It
seemed it was taking forever
to get there. I looked at my
speedometer and I was doing
45.
It’s amazing the effect of
seeing such a horrendous
scene can have on you.
Y’all drive careful now,
you hear.

A Perfect Summer Treat
What’s better on a hot July evening than a big bowl of
homemade ice cream? According to The Food Encyclopedia, the invention of the hand-cranked ice cream maker many of us may remember turning can be accredited
to American Nancy Johnson. Her invention included
a paddle, sometimes called a dasher, which constantly
turned as the cream and sugar mixture froze in a metal
canister encased in a larger bucket filled with ice and
rock salt. Unfortunately, she never applied for a patent
and several years later someone else did. Dated sketches of her machine prove her version came first in 1846,
but the patent was awarded to William Young. Historians have discovered evidence of frozen ice creams as
far back as the 1500s, when iced desserts were made
from ice harvested from frozen snow. Today, we enjoy
the convenience of ice cream makers that use electricity
to turn the dasher.
Our grandmothers often made ice cream custard that
required scalding milk and careful adding of eggs and
lots of stirring over a hot stove. This week’s recipe is
for the easiest homemade ice cream ever. It makes less
than a gallon, so it can be served as a special dessert
without much left over. I’ve found when I freeze the
remaining homemade ice cream, it rarely gets eaten at
my house. Frozen homemade ice cream never has the
same consistency as when it is served right out of the ice
cream freezer.
Easy Vanilla Ice Cream
2 quarts half and half cream
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups sugar
4 t. vanilla
a pinch of salt
Combine all of ingredients and place in the freezer
container of an ice cream maker. Freeze using the manufacturer’s directions. If you still use a hand-cranked
ice cream maker, freeze until you can turn no more!
If you wish to add fresh fruit or crushed up Oreo
cookies or another of your favorite add-ins, freeze for
half of the freezing time to allow the mixture to start to
thicken, then open the freezer container and add in your
choices. If you add them at the beginning, they will sink
to the bottom and not be evenly distributed through your
ice cream.

Billy T. Cattan
Drug & Alcohol
Counselors at
Hub July 27 to
discuss teen
prevention
among recreational boaters
about the dangers of boating under the influence. With
alcohol use remaining the
leading contributing factor
in recreational boater deaths,
the goal of the Operation Dry
Water campaign is to change
the cultural acceptance of
drinking and boating and
help boaters have safe and
fun recreational boating experiences.
Alcohol can impair a boater’s judgment, balance, vision and reaction time. It can
increase fatigue and susceptibility to the effects of coldwater immersion.
Sun, wind, noise, vibration and motion —“stressors” common to the boating
environment— intensify the
effects of alcohol, drugs, and
some medications.
Alcohol is dangerous for
passengers, too. Intoxication
can cause slips, falls over
board, and other dangerous
accidents.
Boaters can take the pledge
and find information about
boating under the influence at
operationdrywater.org.
Operation Dry Water was
launched in 2009 by the National Association of State
Boating Law Administrators
(NASBLA) in partnership
with the United States Coast
Guard. For more information
about BACODA, visit www.
bacoda.org or call 800-5103111.

Alcohol Counselors will

prevention throughout the

Wharton County Junior
College will soon offer a financial incentive for out-ofdistrict dual credit students.
For the Fall 2016 semester,
WCJC will waive the outof-district fee for dual-credit
students. That translates to a
significant cost savings when
considering that out-of-district dual credit students will
now pay only about $334 per
three credit hour course instead of the usual $487.
“The Board of Trustees
approved this waiver as a
means of providing more
students with educational
opportunities,” said WCJC
President Betty McCrohan.
“We want to reach as many
students as we can and offer
the cost savings families so
desperately need.”
In-district dual credit
students living within the
WCJC tax district boundaries of Wharton County ISDs
and Needville ISD currently
do not pay tuition. They do
pay fees. Those fees, however, are less than the charges
assessed to out-of-district
students. These students
pay approximately $223 per
three credit hour course.
For more information on
tuition and fees and the dualcredit program, visit the college’s website at: www.wcjc.

shopping all day long.. (Beacon Photo by Ryan West)
THIS year’s annual LaSalle’s Landing Re-enactment leaned towards the more historical side of the story, as LaSalle again failed to make it ashore as his vessel sank
to the muddy depths of Matagorda Bay - actually, the LaPetite Belle was unable
to bring the Frenchman ashore due to the wind. But there were an abundance of
‘natives’ who sat around and listened to the lore of Dead Bob. (Beacon Photo by

Palacios Pet Pals
(361) 972-3005 • www.pppspca.com • (361) 972-0100
Palacios Pet Pals has three
beautiful dogs that are in
need of adoption or foster
homes. Sam is a Rottweiler
mix and is such a sweet boy.
He loves to give hugs. Beauty
is med sized dog and would
make a great inside outside
dog. She is very much afraid
of the weather and fireworks.
She doesn’t care much for
cats. Then there is Bo. He is
a lab mix. Not sure what else
he is mixed with. They have
all been at the shelter for almost 3 years. The shelter is
quickly becoming unsuitable
for these dogs. They have almost given up hope on having a family of their own. If
you can find room in your
heart for them they will give
you theirs.
