Palacios, ready for lift-off? Starhawk Aerospace, LLC
in talks for $310-million investment at City Airport
BY BRANDI G. WEST
Palacios Beacon
Growth of Palacios may be on the horizon
as self-proclaimed “renegade” Jack Davis,
President of Starhawk AeroSystems, proposes
bringing the “factory of the future; geared
toward the younger generation” to town.
Davis indicated a capital investment of $310
million is anticipated at the Palacios Municipal
Airport in the near future.
“I am very excited that Palacios was selected
as the location for Starhawk AeroSystems,”
said Palacios and Matagorda County Economic
Development Executive Director Mike
Strotheide.
“The selection certainly points out that
Palacios has a wonderful asset in the airport
and is being recognized for the opportunity it
represents,” said Strotheide.
In a Palacios Beacon exclusive, Davis said,
“It was bound to happen; there is only so much
real estate on the coast; when you go down the
coast you’re almost next in line.”

With this proposed capital investment of $310
million, Davis stated he will expand the airport,
provide new lighting and extend a runway from
5,000 to 8,000 feet.
Davis plans on introducing a transponder
landing system to the Airport to enable
the landing of aircraft in adverse weather
conditions.
Davis indicated having an 8,000-foot runway
will make Palacios a ‘regional type or a reliever
airport’ attractable to more pilots, including
the military.

Time was not wasted on the old Minimax
and later Super S building on Main St., recently
acquired by the Trull Foundation, when Cherry
Demolition came upon the scene, the task was
accomplished.

“After much discussion, research, and
consideration, the Trull Foundation Board
made a decision to demolish the old Super S
building,” said the Trull Foundation Executive
Director Gail Purvis.
“Jobs, Jobs, Jobs”, was the
remark of Mayor Sardelich
after last Tuesday’s Palacios
City Council meeting upon
the approval of a two year
lease with aviation investor
Starhawk AeroSystems.
According to City Manager
David Kocurek this company
will initially bring 30 to 50
jobs to Palacios.
The two year lease of office
space at the Palacios Municipal
Airport will be followed by
three 1-year extensions and
at this point in time Starhawk
AeroSystems anticipates
having buildings established
for operations.
Besides the prorated lease
arrangements for the remaining
month of March, Starhawk
AeroSystems will lease the
Flight Service Station building
for $750 per month.
According to the lease
agreement, the lessee “will be
allowed to place up to three
modular type buildings on the
property, in an area acceptable
to the City, for additional office
buildings.”
The lease agreement assures
Starhawk AeroSystems will
maintain the parking lot, fence
and lighting with allowable
access to the existing parking
lot for approximately 200
vehicles.
Little League’s Plea
Darren Ryncheck,
representing Palacios Little
League, requested council
members to consider
recommending the Palacios
Parks and Recreation
Committee to assist the efforts
of the League to explore land
options for new fields.
As Ryncheck described the
Palacios Little League fields
as being beyond the point
of repair and also desired
the public to know the fields
are currently for sale by the
Palacios Recreation Board.
The request from the City
was for a common area for
sporting events, parking and
overall support for the youth in
the Palacios Little League and
other like sporting activities.
Ryncheck mentioned the
Little League Association is
also an attraction to families
considering relocating to
Palacios.

small developing countries and
customized to their specific
need.
These countries, in theory,
will send 50-100 individuals
to Palacios for training at
Starhawk AeroSystems
to learn the process; then
employees will package up the
factory, so to speak, and ship
the product to the purchasing
country.
“I pattern my company
after Kelly Johnson and
Skunkworks which is the old
Lockheed Martin; they built
the U-2 in 6 months.”
Davis, 62 year-old engineer,
has condensed the timeframe
of production of an aircraft
down to two years which,
according to Davis, is reducing
the timeframe of production
substantially.
“I’m giving 4 aircraft in
10 years; we (United States)
can’t even give our Air Force
1 aircraft in 20 years,” said
Davis.
Davis believes there to
be a tremendous amount
opportunity for this service
around the world; “I’m the
cowboy; I’m doing everything
the quick and easy way.”
(Continued From Page 1)
Initially Davis anticipated
30-50 employees, however,
now anticipates an estimated
90 employees for ‘ground
ready work.’
As proposed by Davis,
he anticipates being fully
staffed with estimated 250350 employees by the end of
this year.
Davis, proposes to hire a
variety of skilled laborers,
practically every discipline
of engineering and support
services. An average wage of
$35 an hour is to be expected
upon Palacios and Starhawk
AeroSystems securing this
proposal.
“It’s not what I sell, it’s
not my customer; it’s my
employees who are my most
important commodity; and
they always will be,” said
Davis.
Various contracts with the
City of Palacios, developing
countries along with permitting
from TXDot, the Federal
Aviation Administration and
environmental studies are all
pending.
Specifically, Davis said
negotiations are underway

Palacios’ rustic charm
as well as the town being
referenced by Davis as ‘a clean
sheet of paper’ to fence off the
land necessary in an isolated
manner to maintain security
standards were among the
attractions of facilitating this
company here.
“I’m big on education and
I hope once we get our feet
on the ground we can have
our schools down here grow.
I’m also big on apprenticeship
programs.”
Davis, indicated employees
look at housing, education, and
continuing higher education
and stated, “I already know you
(Palacios) have a tremendous
school here.”
“You have a school that
has robotics; I love it,” said
Davis. Davis estimates 20
small support companies

along with other investors
maximizing on the influx of
an educated workforce moving
on in.
“The efforts and coordination
between the City, the Chamber
of Commerce, The Palacios
Economic Development
Corporation and the
Matagorda County Economic
Development Corporation has
helped bring the project to this
point,” said Strotheide.
Strotheide concluded, “It
has been a pleasure to work
with Mr. Davis and I will look
forward to working with him
in the future.”
According to Davis, “I think
it will be up to the City Council

developed to keep the charm

Hall, Police Department,
Fire Department, everyone
who came to our aid after
the occurrence of a lightning
storm that struck our home,
we are pleased to be part of
this community,” said Michael
Walden with Senior Living
Properties.
Walden indicated lightening
struck a power pole, electricity
traveled and completely fried
the electrical system in the
Palacios Health Care Facility
and without electrical service
the facility is inoperative.
Thus the electrical system
will need to be redesigned by
an engineering firm per code
with a timeframe extending
“60 days at best.”
There were no reported
injuries from this incident and
residents have been relocated
to a Senior Living Properties
in Lake Jackson, La Port
and some patients remain at
Palacios Community Medical
Center.
According to Walden,
employees’ wages are
covered through insurance
and operations may resume at
other Senior Living Properties.

Spring break big business in Port A
PORT ARANSAS: Starting last week, fun in the sun
preparations were underway by city workers, merchants
and police as all strategized for the influx of spring breakers
vacating to Port Aransas. Crowds of tens of thousands
are expected to make landfall on the island and enjoy the
restaurants, shops and beaches. Renovations of restaurants
and hotels are expecting ‘record numbers’ this spring break.
”We have remodeled and we’re expecting record numbers,”
said Beth Owens, co-owner with husband Kelly of Deep
Sea Headquarters and Fins Grill and Ice House. Typically
Fins has approximately 150 customers; however, more than
800-900 customers are anticipated each day this spring
break. Hotels have reported advanced bookings earlier
than in years past with fortunate cloudy but sunny days
forecasted. “During Spring Break, you take you business
and multiply it probably three to four times, if not more
than what you are doing now,” said co-owner June Petitt
of Beaches Café and Bakery and the Port Aransas Brewing
Company. – Port Aransas South Jetty
Wreck fatal for 80-year old
GONZALES: On Feb. 20 a car crash resulted in the
death of Marianne Lee Anderson, 80, and also sent two
others to the hospital. According to Gonzales Police Capt.
Allen Taylor, Anderson was driving and failed to stop
before turning onto Hwy 183 which caused Shelley Ann
Foley, 44, to strike Anderson’s vehicle. Despite Anderson
being airlifted to University Hospital in San Antonio, her
injuries were too extreme. Both Foley and her passenger
were taken to Gonzales Memorial Healthcare and were
treated for injuries. –The Gonzales Inquirer
Wacky weather delaying farm planting
EL CAMPO: Some producers have started spring planting
while others are waiting for the soil temperatures to warm
up a bit. Typically spring crops include corn and grain
sorghum but “Due to the delay in planting due to cold soil
temps and wet fields, we’ll see the remainder of corn and
sorghum go in at the same time once our fields dry up,”
Wharton County Ag Extension Agent Corrie Bowen said.
“We’ll then follow that with cotton and rice and then on
to soybeans in late April and into May.” Producers should
know within the coming weeks once the fields become dry
enough. “Warmer temperatures is what is ideal at this point
in time, “Bowen said. “We need five days with temps at 75
degrees or so.” –El Campo Leader News
Teen assaulted by stranger met using app
AUSTIN: Miguel Gutierrez, 30 of Austin, was arrested
in the case of Flatonia 13 year old girl’s initial reported
‘kidnapping’ from school. After a rigorous investigation,
Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek and Investigator
Angela Jasek learned the kidnapping had not occurred but
that the teen had been assaulted by someone she had met
using a social media app. “I want to warn children of the
importance to only speak with someone on social media that
you know and be aware of the dangers of meeting someone
that you don’t know,” said Keith Korenek Fayette County
Sheriff. A personal recognizant bond in the amount of
$100,000 was initiated for Gutierrez upon his arrest. –The

Letters To
The Editor
Thank you Joe and Gary...
Dear Editor,
We, the congregation of St. John’s Episcopal Church,
would like to thank Gary Hafernick and Joe Kana for doing some needed repairs at our church. As you know, we
had a break-in last summer that resulted in a broken window and a mess in the office. Gary and Joe replaced the
broken window and installed a motion detector light along
an outside corridor. They also did some repairs to our attic
lighting system. Thanks again, for answering our request
for help, and doing a great job!
St. John’s Episcopal Church congregation
I don’t know if I have one except that
there has to be a better way.
Let the practicing attorneys in a county
and/or district pick the judges?
They certainly would know the
strengths and weaknesses of any and all
lawyers practicing there for any time.
But, that would call for placing some
trust in lawyers, right?
Uh-huh.
I suspect, however, that some system
could be devised based on the attorney’s
experience and reputation that, if applied
properly, using strict guidelines and with
public oversight, just might provide us
with similar successes as seen at the
federal level, where judges are appointed
for life. There are drawbacks there, as
well, but not of the nature that electoral
politics applies to the system.
Would that take the perceived prejudices
out of it? Not entirely.
But, it would eliminate this business
of having to campaign for election,
necessitating donations for such an
undertaking and opening all sorts of doors
to obligations and favors. It enables a
measure of fairness in a judge’s service.
And, it takes the choices out of the hands
of the least qualified selectors of judges,
we the people.
It’s a hard pose to strike. But, maybe
a necessary one to ensure the most
fair judicial system we can have…and
deserve.

from everyone about the evolution of education is welcome.
The world is rapidly changing and many of the skills and

Safe handling of fresh produce
BY Chinatu Gladrich
AgriLife Extension Agent - Mat. Co.
Do you consume fresh fruits and vegetables daily? They can be very nutritious and
contain a lot of flavor. However, recent data
released by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention attribute 46% of foodborne
illnesses to produce. Produce also accounts
for 38% of the hospitalizations reviewed in
this study. The study considered fruits, nuts,
and vegetables as produce. Of the illnesses reported, many were derived from eating leafy
vegetables.
With this being said, what are you doing to
ensure your produce is safe? Let’s look at a
few ways you can help protect your family
from contracting foodborne illnesses.
Purchasing Safe Produce
Purchase produce that is not bruised or
damaged. When you select pre-cut produce,
chose only items that are refrigerated and/or
on ice. Be sure to separate the produce from
the other items in your cart, such as meat or
seafood products, as this could lead to cross
contamination.
Prepare Safe Produce
Keep produce that will be eaten raw separate from other foods, such as raw meats or
seafood. It is advised to remove damaged areas on the produce prior to cooking or eating.
Wash all produce thoroughly under running
water before handling. Even if you plan to
peel the produce, it is still recommended that
you wash it. Scrub firm produce with a clean
produce brush and dry with a clean cloth or
paper towel.
Produce may become contaminated at any
point in the food process. Eating contaminated produce could lead to foodborne illness.
Remember, as you enjoy these healthy menu
options, to keep food safety in mind!
For more information on food safety and
fresh produce, contact your local county
AgriLife Extension Agent, Chinatu Gladrich,
at 2200 7th Street, 4th Fl., Bay City, by phone

Sharks secure first District win of season
via late rally in 8-6 win over Industrial
BY RYAN WEST
Palacios Beacon Editor

Villareal walk-off powers
Tidehaven past Cowboys
The Tidehaven Tigers picked up a District
win walk-off fashion while losing their first
district contest 1-0 in extra innings
The Tigers sit atop an impressive 9-3 record on the season and
more importantly, atop a 3-1 mark
in District play.
Last Friday in Blessing, the
Tidehaven Tigers edged Edna 7-6
on a walk off RBI double by Eric
Villareal.
The Tigers were quick out of
the gates and established an early
4-0 lead in the bottom of the first.
Then the bats went silent as Edna held Tidehaven scoreless for the next five innings.
With Mason Ledwig on the mound, the Tigers held the Cowboys scoreless until Edna
put three across in the top of the third inning.
The Cowboys pushed two more runs across
in the top of the fifth to take their first lead of
the game 5-4. Edna added more cushion to its
lead with another run coming across in the top
of the seventh.
Trailing 6-4 in the bottom of the seventh,
the Tigers were backed into a corner.
How the Tigers would respond, embodied
how they’ve played all year.
After a walk to Brandon Brune led off the
bottom of the 7th, Hunter Saha delivered an
RBI triple.
With Saha on third, Peyton Taska-Genzer
belted a double to score Saha.
With the game on the line,
Tidehaven’s Villareal stepped
to the plate and delivered a
walk-off double to score Taska-Genzer.
While doing it with the stick,
Villareal also tossed one inning
of relief, surrendered one unearned run and picked up the
win.
Early last week, the Tigers
and Aransas Pass Panthers
fought tooth and claw for seven scoreless innings, with the Panthers prevailing 1-0 with a
run in the eighth and extra frame.
Tidehaven's Villareal was dialed in on the
mound and tossed seven scoreless innings
and struck out eight Panther batsmen.
Taska-Genzer came in to pitch the eighth
and was tagged with the loss after surrendering one unearned run.
Villareal and Kyle Moerbe were the lone
Tigers to put the ball in play.
The Tigers were to visit the Bloomington
Bobcats on Tues. (Mar. 18) before returning
home to face Industrial's Cobras at 7 p.m. on
Fri. (Mar. 21).
Sharks drop final two
on pitch to El Campo,
West Columbia
The Palacios Shark soccer
squad finished the 2014 campaign with a pair of losses in
the final week of action on
the pitch.
Last Friday, the Sharks fell
in the finale 2-1 to West Columbia.
“It was a rough way to
end the season,” said coach
James Overton. “Our kids
played hard the entire game
and even scored in the first
two minutes, but we couldn’t
find the back of the net after
that.”
Marco Zamora, on an assist
by Carmen Mancera, supplied Palacios’ lone goal.
Earlier in the week, the
Sharks were picked apart by
El Campo’s Ricebirds, 7-2.
“El Campo has a great team
