“value engineering” was the name of the game.
Seeking savings by substituting less costly
materials resulted in nearly $350,000 knocked
off the price of building the new Pavilion.
One example is the choice of composition
roofing material over the originally planned
metal roofing, which will result in a savings
of $86,000. After architect Bob Randall
presented the board with pictures of a metal
roof that had rusted in less than tens years
on a coastal building, the board determined
that the composition roof may be the superior
material, even if it weren’t so much cheaper.

Tres Palacios Watershed meeting
Thurs. at FUMC’s Weimer Hall
Those interested in becoming involved in a
partnership to improve and protect the Tres
Palacios Creek watershed along the Texas
Gulf Coast are urged to attend an Oct. 8 meeting in Palacios.
The Texas Water Resources Institute will
host the free meeting at 1 p.m. at the First
United Methodist Church, 209 Lucas Ave.
Dr. Kevin Wagner, Texas Water Resources
Institute associate director in College Station,
said the main purpose of the meeting is to organize a watershed partnership with interested stakeholders. The partnership will develop
a strategy for reducing bacteria levels in the
creek.
“The tidal portion of Tres Palacios Creek,
which primarily occupies part of Matagorda
and Wharton counties, is currently designated
by the state as impaired because of elevated

While six was the suggested figure by the firm in
charge of the search for the
new Superintendent of Palacios Independent School District (PISD), the Board opted
for eight semi-finalists at last
week’s Special Called meeting.
Eight candidates were
selected to be interviewed
from a list of 30+ presented
to the Palacios ISD Board of
Trustees by Marian Strauss
from the Texas Association
of School Boards Executive
Search Services. The list was
whittled down in “Executive
Session” at the Sept. 28 Special Called Meeting. Prior to
the closed-door executive
session, in the open portion
of the meeting, Ms. Strauss
“coached up” the board on
the interview process with
specifics, such as, the length
of time each candidate will
be interviewed (90 minutes),
what can and can’t be asked
during the interview, and salary requirements.
The board’s plan is to conduct two interviews per night
on three consecutive nights

Judge Estlinbaum holds
court at CofC luncheon
BY ALAN C. SCHULMAN
The Palacios Chamber of
Commerce welcomed guest
speaker Judge Craig Estlinbaum at its October 1st general membership meeting.
Judge Estlinbaum, who
took office in 2001, highlighted his efforts to lower
expenses at the 130th District Court by reducing disposition times of criminal
cases and through personnel
reduction while expanding
programs for juvenile substance abuse treatment and
counseling. In fact, the 130th
District Court’s percentage
of criminal cases disposed
in less than 180 days is 10
percent higher than the state
average. The Judge pointed out that

court’s expenses have only
increased 8.7 percent. “How
have we been able to go 14
years and only increase our
spending by 9 percent?”
He said he held costs down
by reducing the number of
court coordinators from 2
to 1, which was one of his
campaign points prior to being elected. Also, when he
took office, 2 persons were
working in the child support
office. He said, “I didn’t
know this at the time, but
I found out it’s a 1 person
office. When we had a retirement, I never filled the
position. That position was
on the budget, I just never
filled it.”
The Judge concluded his
talk with a brief question

which Betty Scurlock asked,
“I have a sister-in-law that
passed away 20 years ago
at the age of 83, and she’s

PORT ARANSAS: A bloom of red tide algae is happening right now in area waters, according to folks at the
University of Texas Marine Science Institute (UTMSI).
A naturally occurring phenomenon around the world, red
tide has been linked to the death of fish, contamination of
certain shellfish, and respiratory problems in people when
concentrations reach extremely high levels. Algae generally require nutrients to grow, and while there have been
documented cases of blooms associated with high amounts
of nutrients from fertilizer runoff, it’s unclear whether the
current red tide is associated with nutrient loading, said
Ed Buskey, a researcher at UTMSI. “In general, the Gulf
of Mexico water in the Coastal Bend has low nutrient concentrations, and it is unlikely that this bloom is associated
with conventional farming,” said Buskey. “There is little
evidence for a direct connection between coastal eutrophication (nutrient enrichment) and red tides. Researchers
are still studying the causes of red tide.” - Port Aransas

National teacher shortage hits El Campo
EL CAMPO: State funding cuts in 2011, causing layoffs
and hiring freezes, have left schools nationwide scrambling to find qualified teachers. The situation is no different in El Campo. This year, for example, two teaching
positions are still vacant, being filled by substitute teachers. When state funding was cut in 2011, the uncertainty
of the profession caused a decrease in the number of students pursuing a teaching career. The number of would-be
teachers across the nation dropped from 719,081 in 2010,
to 499,800 in 2014, according to the U.S. Education Department data. - El Campo Leader-News
Texas’ poverty rate improving
AUSTIN: Texas’ poverty rate improved to 17.2 percent
in 2014, according to U.S. Census Bureau’s American
Community Survey released Sept. 17. Embedded in the
statistics is this: more than 4.5 million Texans - 1.7 million of whom are children - still live in poverty. In 2014,
the poverty line for a family of three was about $19,000
per year. Austin - based Center for Public Policy Priorities, a non - partisan research and advocacy organization,
said the poverty rate for Texas children of 24.6 percent
remained unchanged from the previous year. “Although
the state is growing, too many Texans struggle every day
to make ends meet,” Jennifer Lee of the Center for Public Policy Priorities said. “High levels of child poverty
continue to undermine our state economy and affect the
future prosperity of our state,” she added. Median household income rose only slightly to $53,035. - Texas Press

Ex- Wharton band director sentenced to 8-years
WHARTON: Jason Toney, former Wharton High
School band director, who was arrested in early August on
five counts of an improper relationship with a student and
11 counts of sexual assault with a child, was sentenced
to eight years in prison under a plea agreement. As part
of the plea agreement, he admitted guilt to the sexual assault charges, but he will not be convicted of those crimes,
and he will not be required to register as a sexual offender
upon his release, but he won’t ever teach or work with
children again. - Wharton Journal Spectator

The biggest problem for the
board members regarding the
roof was picking a color. So
they chose 4. They will make
the final color choice after
receiving 4 samples.
Many other materials were
given the same scrutiny,
and often the less costly
options were substituted for
those on the original plans
during the nearly two hours
of the meeting prior to the
board going into “Executive
Session”.
The
“value

in hopes of reducing the cost
of building the new Pavilion
even further.

PTSD or other mental illnesses. If you would like to donate
a pair of sweat pants or pajamas, sizes medium, large and
xlarge, please bring them to 200 Commerce Street on Friday
October 9, 2015 or drop them off at the box at the VFW Post.
All donations are appreciated. .

PALACIOS, TX
Bonnen Recipient of Two Distinguished
Legislative Awards
This past week, my efforts to support businesses and
protect local control were recognized by two of the most
respected organizations charged with promoting these policy interests.
The Texas Association of Business has designated me a
“Champion for Free Enterprise” for my efforts during the
84th Session. TAB’s highest legislative distinction recognizes my authorship of a 25% across-the-board business
tax cut while protecting the small business franchise tax
exemption. This award also acknowledges my efforts to pass a fiscally responsible state budget that limits spending well below
population and inflation growth, while supporting funding
for high quality PreK, protections for our industrial sector, tort reform, increased school accountability, greater
transparency in healthcare, drug testing for unemployment
benefits, and several other pieces of legislation critical to
maintaining Texas’ strong economy and business-friendly
climate.
The Texas Municipal League has also selected me to receive their “Legislator of the Year” award. In its recent
announcement, TML expressed appreciation of my consistent advocacy on behalf of municipal authority throughout
the session when numerous attempts were made to erode
local control. Further, it acknowledged my understanding that taxpayers’ best recourse for change is at the local
level. Instead of consolidating power at the state level, my
work was guided by the philosophy that decisions are best
left locally in the hands of the taxpayers.
This past session, I had the distinct honor of serving as
Speaker Pro Tem and Chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, positioning me to enact historical reforms that protect and strengthen our state’s economy,
while making the cost of living and doing business in
Texas more affordable and desirable. I am grateful for the
support of these two important organizations in making the
recent 84th Session one of the most successful for Texas
businesses and taxpayers in recent history.

Thanks to all the volunteers who helped out in my absence.
We received a memorial in memory of Vernon Hunt by
Tommy and Mary Kay Beard.
The Palacios Library was honored to have Will Turner’s latest book Tyrants and Taxes donated by the author
himself. This book reviews the history of mankind and
the actions of past leaders to extract labor, support, and
wealth from the people in the form of taxes to finance
the exalted lifestyle of the rulers, the unending wars of
defense and aggression, and the incessant human desire
of the citizenry for free or subsidized services from their
neighbors, who are the tax payers, in the nation. The book
is now available for check out.
Announcing new books for adults as well as children!
The latest adult books by Sue Grafton, Dale Brown, Lee
Child, John Connolly, Catherine Coulter, Clive Cussler,
Billy Graham, Julie Garwood, Tess Gerritsen, WEB Griffin, Linda Howard, Iris Johansen, James Patterson, Kathy
Reichs, JD Robb, Fern Michaels, John Grisham, Tami
Hoag, Stuart Woods, and Louise Penny. The children can
enjoy their favorite authors and all will be marked with
the AC credit points for their convenience. Come by and
see our new books. We can put you on the waiting list for
the more popular ones.
Thanks to Martha Riccio children were able to enjoy
Science Rocks last Thursday in my absence. She helped
the kids make super balls with glue and borax and what
fun they had. She also brought a black light to show them
how it works. Everyone had a great time.
Also in my absence Kristin Webb took the time to fill
in for Story Hour. Kristin read The Old House by Pamela
Duncan Edwards. The children made their own houses
and colored them. Everyone chose a book from First
Book.
Now that school has begun parents can start signing
up their children for the Homework program. We focus
mainly on the elementary grades through 6th grade but
older children are always welcome to come by to do their
homework also and we will do our best to help when help
is needed.

Goliad takes it to Tidehaven, rolls 28-6
Palacios
BY RYAN WEST
Palacios Beacon Publisher
In the battle for top Tiger
on the gridiron, it was Goliad’s Tigers that prevailed
28-6 over Tidehaven.
While being on the wrong
side of a 28-6 outcome isn’t
what Tidehaven was looking
for, the Tigers turn their focus
to the race for the Dist. 13-2A
DII crown.
The Tigers open district
play at home against Brazos
for Homecoming this Fri.
(Oct. 9).

“We had good effort tonight but we are going to
need great effort
next
week against
Brazos. Even
though
we
lost, without a
doubt, we are
a better team
right now than
when we started the season
,” noted Tidehaven head
coach Brent
Mascheck.
“We break
the season up
into four parts of the year:
scrimmages, pre-district, district and playoffs. The focus
and intesnity has to increase
with each part of the year.”
“We are now entering the
district race, which I feel is
going to be the toughest district in the state, but we have
the team to make the playoffs.
I feel like we are peaking going into district play and that
was our plan the entire year.”
As for this Friday’s tilt
with Brazos, Mascheck said
his team needs to be mentally
tough going into the game.
“We can not have mental
breakdowns this week ver-
sus a very talented and fast
Brazos team. They have the
weapons to
make
big
plays on offense and we
have to do
a great job
of preventing the big
plays,” Mascheck said.
“We held
out
some
starters
against Goliad so we are
injury free
heading into
the first district game Fri.
(Oct. 9) against Brazos. We
need Tiger nation to show up
next week, come early, wear
blue and be loud.”
In last week’s affair, the Tigers were bitten by big plays
despite a nice performance
turned in by the defense.
“I thought we had good effort tonight, but mental mistakes and big plays cost us,”
noted Mascheck.
“Goliad’s speed was the
difference in the game. They
made a few big plays in the
passing game and had a 63yard touchdown run - if we
don’t give up those big plays
we did a good job on the defensive side of the ball.”
Goliad picked up 230-yards
via the air and another 94-on
the ground.
Goliad scored on a 41-yard
touchdown pass in the first
quarter; a five yard pass in
the second just prior to halftime; a 24-yard touchdown
pass in the third and put the
game away for good on a 63yard run in the third.
While the defense couldn’t
contain Goliad’s big plays,
the Tiger offense was led by
sophomore tailback Jeff Williams.
Williams shined in the loss
with a 191-yard night rushing
on 28 carries.
“I thought Jeff had a great
night running the football.
He ran with some authority,”
commented Mascheck.
The Tigers rushed for
301-yards on the night and
tacked on another 60 through
the air.
Bryce Galvan accounted
for the Tigers’ lone score on a
five yard plunge in the fourth
quarter. He finished with
59-yards on 12 carries and
was 4-9 passing for 33 yards
and two interceptions.
The Tigers’ fight for the
playoffs begins at Homecoming this Fri. (Oct. 9) as Tidehaven hosts Brazos at 7:30
p.m. in El Maton.

District 13-3A DII in rushing yards with 528 yards. (Beacon Photo by Ryan West)
JV Tigers blanked 21-0 by Goliad
The JV Tigers were blanked
21-0 by Goliad last week.
“Last night’s game was an
eye opener for us and that we
have to get better,” said Tidehaven coach Steve Fiala.
“We didn’t play very well
until the second half. Defensively, we played good
but we couldn’t stop the big

play,” noted Fiala.
“On offense, we could not
get anything going until the
second half when we started
driving the ball but couldn’t
punch it in the end zone.”
The Tigers will visit Brazos
on Thurs. (Oct. 8) with kickoff slated to 6 p.m.
JV Sharkettes roll with wins
over Hallettsville, Tidehaven
The junior varsity Sharkettes swept the court with their opponents en route to a pair of district wins on the volleyball
court last week.
Early last week, coach Dana Buckley’s JV Sharkettes
swarmed the nets and feasted on Hallettsville’s JV Lady Brahmas 20-25, 25-14, 25-18.
Vivian Parga spearheaded the sub-varsity attack with 21
points. Brianna Serna hit the floor for 14 points and Brianne
Simmons was close behind with 10. Bailey Grones dropped
nine points on Hallettsville, followed by Sarah Filip and
Brooke Vandenbergh’s eight point performances.
At home last Friday, the JV Sharkettes pounded out a two
set seep of Tidehaven 25-21, 25-15.
Filip was at the forefront of the Palacios scoring and finished with 11. Serna and Simmons each tallied nine points
in the win. Vandenbergh tacked on seven points, followed by
Parga’s six, Grones’ five and Andrea Gonzales’ three points.
Sharks return to field
Fri. against Industrial
BY RYAN WEST
Palacios’ fighting Sharks
return to the gridiron to start
their District 14-3A DI schedule at 7:30 p.m. Fri. (Oct. 9)
against the winless Industrial
Cobras (0-5) in Vanderbilt.
The 1-4 Sharks and 0-5
Cobras have been the occupiers of the Dist. 13-3A DII
basement for the past several
years.
It was in last year’s affair
that coach Brad Bowden’s
Sharks broke their 22-game
District losing streak with a
30-28 comeback win over the
Cobras.
With the start of the District schedule, the pre-district records are thrown out
the window and these next
five games are pivotal for
the Sharks as they seek their
first playoff berth since the
Sharks’ run four-rounds deep
in 2007.
For the Sharks to earn the
4th playoff spot, a pair of
District wins are needed. The
Sharks get their best opportunity right off the bat this
Friday.
