This year’s Sales Tax Holiday is Aug. 5 - 7. As in previous years, the law exempts
most clothing, footwear,
school supplies and backpacks
priced less than $100 from
sales and use taxes, which
could save shoppers about $8
on every $100 they spend.
Subject to the criteria explained below, all sales of
qualifying items made during the holiday period qualify
for the exemption, including
items sold online, or by telephone or mail. Shoppers can
use layaway plans to take advantage of the sales tax holiday.
IT was a celebration of sorts as the W.C. Williams Building, located at the corner of Fifth St. and
Commerce in Palacios received its Texas Historical
Commission Historical marker in a ceremony on
Saturday. Participants in the dedication and unveiling ceremony were: (left to right) Jake Mangum

Last week’s Palacios Beautification & Pavilion Committee Meeting revealed a
new targeted completion date
of mid-February 2017.
The first scheduled event
for the New Pavilion has
been moved from November 11, 2016 to February 17,
2017, giving the Committee a
little ‘breathing room’ to get
the facility built and up-andrunning before the Birding
Festival.
Payment #8 of $181,954.75
brings the total cost of the
new Pavilion paid to 49.37%,
so it’s all downhill from here.
Meanwhile, many funding
requests are still in the works.
Also, the Mailer Campaign
has brought in many donations, and the Brick Paver
drive has, so far, resulted in
74 orders.
Construction Progress
Mike Murray reported that,
due to the fabrication company’s failure to follow the
plans accurately, hardware
was being sent back to them
for modifications and corrections.
PBPC President Joe Kana
commented that “Mike has
stayed on it and caught things
and brought it to the attention

“Thank you, thank you,
thank you,” was Patricia Loving’s comment to the Board
at last Monday’s Regular
Meeting of the Palacios ISD
Board of Trustees. “
The website update, whoever has been responsible for
putting all of that together,
and doing all of that, it’s a lot
easier, you can find things,
and I liked all your pictures.”
But, it was not all praise
from Ms. Loving. During the
‘public comments/audience
participation’ portion of the
meeting, she urged the Board
to begin meetings at the specified time out of respect for
the public and students who
are there to receive awards
and other recognition. Loving also took issue with the
wording of “Interrogations”
in the Student Rights and Responsibilities policy.

Carolyn Kubecka presented the STAAR and EOC

Area Briefs
Effort to ‘grow’ city shows promise
EL CAMPO: Efforts to grow El Campo will continue,
City Council said Monday, renewing its contract with a
retail recruitment firm and taking other steps in the effort. Retail Strategies, Inc. they said, have already brought
business to El Campo, including a fast food eatery, a convenience store and the expansion of a major retail store.
Other projects including more eateries and a possible hotel
are in the works. “They are out in the market every day and
know the retail expansion trends. They also have numerous contacts in the Texas franchise market,” said City Development Corporation Chief Carolyn Gibson. The CDC,
a city-created agency funded by a portion of sales tax dollars, operates with the mission of economic development.
That agency will be paying RSI’s $26,000 fee for one additional year of service. - El Campo Leader-News
State Trooper delivers baby
NAVASOTA: “This is the light that we needed in a time
of darkness. This is something to show that we’re here to
help and we are prepared for anything.” Those words spoken by Dylan Duke, who serves Grimes County as a DPS
Trooper, perfectly describes the act he performed on Saturday evening while delivering a baby boy in the Navasota
Express parking lot. Duke was assisting the Grimes County Sheriff’s Office on a traffic stop when he received the
call to respond to a woman giving birth. While en route,
Duke remembered his academy training which prepared
him for such a rare incident. Duke said when he was in the
academy undergoing training for such an event he never
thought such a thing would ever happen. Once Duke arrived on-scene, he immediately began assisting the mother
while the father was on the phone. Despite the language
barrier between Duke and the mother, the trio made the
best of the situation until paramedics arrived. - The Navasota Examiner
Bringing life back to long-vacant downtown block
EL CAMPO: Downtown’s latest redevelopment effort
is expected to include a community center, dining, retail
and office space. Crews from CStaff Construction have
spent the last week and a half tearing out the front of the
long-vacant 107 N. Mechanic Finkelstein building, a local icon of the downtown that once was. He purchased the
old Finkelstein block about three weeks ago and is now in
the process of transforming the 1920 structure. “I want to
bring back the magic of the building,” said 1993 El Campo
High School graduate, Chris Staff. “The town’s excited.
It’s been an eyesore for 20 to 25 years.” Staff’s vision includes a community center/events venue in the two-story
portion he’s calling the ”409 Club” - perhaps harkening
back to the former El Campo area code. “I want people to
walk in and feel the 1960s,” he said. Plans call for retail or
office space on the rest of the block. Between the community center and the restaurant, Staff said he’d like to see an
antiques store or similar retail establishment move in. “In
El Campo, we don’t have antique stores,” he said, adding
they have proven to be a draw in other revitalized downtowns. The 409 Club should be open by fall with the restaurant opening sometime between late summer and fall.
Project renovation costs are estimated between $400,000
and $500,000. - El Campo Leader-News

Summer is for barbecues,
days at the beach, and family vacations. Did you know
it’s also a peak time of year
for adolescents to experiment
with using alcohol and other
drugs? According to data
from the Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA),
more than 11,000 youth a
day use alcohol for the first
time during June and July
(December rates are comparable). By comparison, between 5,000 and 8,000 youth
a day first try alcohol during
the rest of the year.
Another concern for the
summer months comes from
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), with statistics
showing during May through
August, nearly twice as many
teens die from traffic crashes.
While alcohol-impaired driving among teens is on the
decline, their risk of dying
in an alcohol-related crash is
much higher than the general
population. Additionally, underage drinking contributes
to other popular summertime
activities such as boating and
swimming. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report
that alcohol use is a factor in
up to 70 percent of adult and
adolescent deaths associated
with water recreation, almost
a quarter of emergency department visits for drowning,
and about one in five reported
boating deaths.
The Office of National
Drug Control Policy assembled these prevention tips for
S-U-M-M-E-R:
Set Rules: Clear rules are
needed about activities and
friends. Involve your teen
in setting limits and consequences.
Understand and Communicate: Keep lines of communication open. Significant par-

ent involvement is the most
important factor in preventing drug use.
Monitor Activities: Know
each day what your teen has
planned, where they will
be, and with whom. Have
planned “check-ins.” Unmonitored teens are four
times more likely to engage
in drug use or other risky behaviors.
Make sure you stay involved: Know who their
friends are and have a relationship with them. Talk to
other parents, coaches and
adults involved in your teen’s
life.
Encourage involvement in
summer activities: Teens who
are involved in Scouts, 4-H,
sports, church or other youth
activities have a focus for the
summer.
Reserve time for family: Even though teens may
seem like they don’t want to
spend time with their family,
it is beneficial to have meals
together, take a vacation and
do other family activities.

underage drinking or talking

On your way into the library, check out the natural clay
revealed when the city fixed our water main, and they are
still waiting for a part to finish and cover up the hole. Palacios used to have a brick factory and many of the older

The quarry was located near 4th and McGlothlin and is
now a small lake. Now because of the heavy rainfall we
have a very small lake too.

Quiche or Pie?
A quiche is an open pie made with an egg custard.
If you are serving a group of ladies who appreciate the
classic French dish, call it a quiche. If you are serving
hungry children or the man of the house, you might
choose to call it a pie to make the dish sound heartier or
dare I say, manly.
Quiche actually began in Germany in the medieval
kingdom of Lothringen while under German rule. Later,
the kingdom was renamed Lorraine by the French hence
the coming of Quiche Lorraine, the best known quiche,
made with cream, eggs, and bacon, but originally without cheese. The bottom crust would have at that time
been made of bread dough. “Quiche” comes from the
German word “kuchen” which means cake.(foodreference.com)
The popularity of quiche spread in the U.S. during
the 1950s as it became a popular egg dish often found
in cookbooks of the time period. Nowadays, we see
new lighter and more contemporary versions appearing on the food scene. This week’s recipe for Quesadilla
Quiche has a crust that forms as the dish bakes instead
of the common pastry crust. The ingredients take on a
Southwest flair as its name reflects.
Quesadilla Quiche
1 – 4 oz. can of chopped green chilies
1 T. freshly chopped cilantro
1 c. grated cheddar cheese
1 c. grated Monterey Jack cheese
¾ c. biscuit baking mix
1½ c. milk
3 eggs
1/8 t. pepper
¼ t. salt
2 -3 drops of Tabasco
¼ t. garlic powder
½ c. Mexicorn
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9-inch deep dish
pie plate with nonstick spray. It is important to use a
deep dish pie plate to avoid overflowing of the filling.
Place the chopped green chilies, chopped cilantro, and
grated cheeses in the bottom of the pie plate. In a bowl,
stir together the biscuit baking mix, milk, and eggs using a whisk or fork. Add the salt and pepper, Tabasco,
garlic powder, and Mexicorn. Mix well. Pour the mixture into the pie pan covering the cheeses. Bake for 2530 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes
out clean. Cool slightly before serving. To serve, slice as
you would a pie. If desired, top each piece with a dollop
of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa. A gluten free version of this quiche may be made using a gluten free biscuit baking mix. Both Bisquick and King Arthur brands
produce gluten free baking mixes. I personally recommend King Arthur brand gluten free products. Send your
questions and comments to debbie.mosier@gmail.com.

and cost of the 2 hour Dr. visits from Palacios to Houston.
Anyone who would like to help Aleena’s Mom, a single
mother of 3, can go to the website, Gofundme.com and make
a donation. Any amount considered is deeply appreciated and
no amount is too small.
Donations will also be accepted by Valerie Gillett at the
First Baptist Church office for those who wish to contribute,
but do not have access to the internet or Facebook. More importantly, the family asks for prayers on surgery day, Aug 5
for good results and a fast recovery with no complications.

his brothers and often with local greats such as Tommy
Tolleson. He was a kind man loved by many and always
willing to help. He will be greatly missed. He is survived by his wife of 55 years Yung Hi
"Mickey" Kruse of Palacios; son Jamie Kruse and his
wife Haley of Palacios and four grandchildren Tristan,
Steffen, Ashtyn and Brooklyn Kruse.
