STP applications for Reactors 3 & 4
licensing to be submitted next month
BY ALAN C. SCHULMAN
Palacios Beacon - Reporter
“We’re applying for a license for Units 3 & 4 the
week before Thanksgiving,”
stated South Texas Project
Nuclear Operating Company
President and CEO, Dennis
Koehl, at last Thursday’s Bay
City Chamber of Commerce
meeting. When asked about
rumors of investors dropping
out of the expansion project,
Mr. Koehl cited the emergence of many new industries
along the Texas Gulf coast
from Corpus Christi on up,
and their demand for electricity, as the reason those investors will be back on board if
and when a
license is issued. At this
time,
STP
supplies approximately
12 recent of

When Hurricane Patricia came
ashore along the Pacific coast of southern Mexico it brought winds upwards
of 200-miles per hour as a Category 5
storm, the strongest ever recorded.
Thankfully for the Palacios area, the
Sierra Madres broke the historic Patricia into pieces, but the leftovers unundated the City by the Sea with rain
gauge reports ranging anywhere from
7 - 10-inches of precipitation coming

PISD Board names Lone PISD Supt. finalist,
reviews Formosa’s Chapter 313 Application
BY ALAN C. SCHULMAN
Alexandro Flores was announced as the
lone finalist for the PISD School Superintendent position at last Monday’s School Board
meeting. By law, the board now has 21 days
before they can officially hire Flores, which
means, essentially,the job is his, barring any
unforeseen circumstances.
Flores, at age 39, has already been a teacher, an Assistant Principal, a Principal and was
most recenlty the Assistant Superintendent of
Academics and Human Services in the Natalia School District.
Upon the announcement, Flores addressed
the board and the small crowd in attendance,
saying, “I just consider it such a great honor.
Everything that I’ve learned about this dis-
trict is impressive. There’s a strong culture
of academics. Folks don’t want to leave this
place, and that’s the kind of place that anybody would just be blessed, and so now it’s
my turn to receive that blessing. I couldn’t ask
for more.”

Meanwhile, the board also approved action to adopt

Presentations
In the staff recognition portion of the meeting, teacher
Amy Marroquin was presented the Golden Hearts &
Wings Award.
Herbert Ressler presented an overview of the School
FIRST (Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas) and
a review of Palacios ISD’s FIRST rating, which was a
“Pass” on a pass or not pass rating, and also submitted
for approval the Annual Financial Investment Report and
a Resolution (for annual review) for adoption, both of
which were approved.
Carolyn Kubecka gave a report on College Entrance
and Diagnostic Scores (SAT/PSAT/ACT) and a plan for
improvemen. Sherri Seaman presented a District Improvement Plan.
District Wide Surveillance Cameras
Due to the prohibitive cost of replacing all surveillance
cameras with digital units, at a cost of $250,000, it was
determined that the most cost effective strategy would
be to replace any broken cameras and update existing
cameras with encoders that would convert the signal to
digital, that could then be monitored from a central location instead of the DVD recorders placed all around the
district. The bid price, which would include installing
cameras in the new high school gym, would be $79,500,
or possibly less, depending on the number of cameras
needing replacement. It was approved by the board.
Business Reports
Tax Office Reports, Monthly Financial Reports and
Monthly Summaries of Bills from August and September and the August and September Check registers were
also presented to the Board by Mr. Ressler.
Consent Agenda
Consent Agenda Items approved were Minutes, the
2015-2016 District Improvement Plan and revisions to
Board Policy CNA (Local).
Superintendent’s Reports
After Interim Superintendent, Paul Smith reported
to the board on Continuing Education Board Training,
Carolyn Kubecka revealed in her Final Swimming Pool
Report that the purchase of a robotic pool cleaner was in
the works that would lower labor costs for pool maintenance. Also discussed at that time was a change in the
school calendar from 180 days to 75,600 minutes of
classroom time per year. That discussion is ongoing.

Counselor’s Corner
By Veronica Kacer, Central Elementary
Children & Drugs
American children are
smoking, drinking and using
drugs at younger ages than
ever before. A recent study
by the National Institute on
Drug Abuse found that more
than half of all eighth graders had tried alcohol at least
once, and that they had their
first drink, on average, at age
11. Marijuana use also continues to soar among preteens
and twice as many teens
smoke “weed” today, compared to only six years ago.
The use of inhalants, cocaine,
and other illegal drugs by
children is also on the rise.
Children are being pressured by their peers and by
movies, TV programs, and
music that send the message
that it’s “cool” to use drugs
and alcohol. It’s obviously
not enough to tell them to
“just say no.” Here are some
ways to help your children
understand why they should
stay away from drugs and alcohol.
• Start early: Don’t wait to
talk about the dangers of drug
and alcohol abuse until your
child is in middle school or
high school. Begin in the early elementary school years.
• Teach strong values: Children need clearly stated values and rules about what is
right and wrong. Make sure
they clearly understand that
one of your family’s rules is
that children do not use drugs
or alcohol.
• Listen up: If your children
believe that you’re an interested and fair listener, they
are more likely to come to
you when they feel pressure
to use drugs or alcohol. Keep
yourself from panicking and
interrupting when they discuss these situations with
you. Above all, don’t be angry with them. Be proud and
thankful that they’ve come to
you for help.
• Build self-esteem: When

has continued since with prevention organizations around
the country holding events to
promote prevention of substance abuse.
The President’s Drug Control Strategy promotes the
expansion of national and
community-based programs
that reach young people in
schools, on college campuses, and in the workplace with
tailored information to help
them make healthy decisions
about their future. In fact, recent research has concluded
that every dollar invested in
school-based substance use
prevention programs has the
potential to save up to $18 in
kids feel good about themselves, they’re less likely to
feel the need to get high. No
matter their age, your children need to hear that you
love them, and need to receive your praise when they
excel.
• Encourage independence:
Children who are confident
in their ability to make decisions will be more secure
about making the right choices when it comes to drugs
and alcohol. Offer your children plenty of opportunities
to make decisions, and let
them know that it’s okay to
not to do what everyone else
is doing.
• Encourage healthy activities: Children who are
involved in creative, healthy
activities are less likely to
experiment with drugs out of
boredom. Not only will they
be doing something good for
themselves, they’ll be making friends with other children who have similar interests.
• Role-play: One excellent
way to help children learn
how to turn down drugs or
alcohol is to role-play some
typical situations. “You’re at
your best friend’s house, and
he opens a beer for himself
and offers you one. When
you say ‘no,’ he makes fun
of you for being so straight.
What do you do?”
• Get help if you suspect a
problem: Some signs of drug
use include weight loss, a
sudden drop in school performance, extreme moodiness,
and withdrawal from friends,
family or activities. If your
child exhibits these, or other
signs of possible drug use, get
help from the school counselor, your family physician, or
a local treatment center.
• Practice what you preach:
Never use illegal drugs. And
if you drink, do so in moderation. Don’t reach for a drink
the minute you get home
from work; it sends your
child the message that drinking is a good way to unwind.
Never drive when you have
been drinking, and never ride
with an impaired driver.
• Know the facts: Learn
the facts about the dangers of
using drugs or alcohol, and
teach them to your children.

costs related to substance use
disorders.
Local problems require
local solutions. Tri-County
Community Coalition is engaging the entire community to help prevent youth
substance use. The Coalition
brings together individuals
from various organizations,
agencies, businesses, and civic groups along with parents,
youth, and concerned citizens
to work together on community-based strategies that are
evidence-based to prevent
substance abuse in Matagorda, Wharton, and southern
Fort Bend counties.
Current strategies include
a prescription drug return
program to prevent/decrease
medicine abuse, a responsible beverage service program aimed at educating alcohol retailers about the laws
around selling to minors, and
campaigns aimed at changing community norms and
increasing the perception of
harm around underage drinking, marijuana use, and synthetic marijuana.
PEDC
Coalition
Coordinator,
Marian Bullard, said, “Bringing attention to substance
abuse prevention is of vital
importance. Every day, far too
many Americans are hurt by
alcohol and drug abuse. From
diminished achievement in
our schools to greater risks on
our roads, to the heartache of
lives cut tragically short, the
consequences of substance
abuse are profound. Yet, we
also know that they are preventable.
“Preventing drug use before it begins--particularly
among young people--is the
most cost-effective way to reduce drug use and its consequences. The best approach to
reducing the tremendous toll
substance abuse exacts from
individuals, families and
communities is to prevent the
damage before it occurs.”
To get involved in the Coalition’s activities, contact Marian Bullard at coalitions@
bacoda.org or by calling 800510-3111. Visit www.bacoda.

lions of dollars and thousands
of employees.
“There are 16 active prospects that I am working, there
have been some initial contacts about projects and what
our incentive package would
be,” stated Peterson.
“I’m suggesting they come
and propose their projects to
the PEDC,but until they are
ready to share with PEDC
I don’t want to give them a
written document that says
what we’re willing to do.”
The activity and interest
countywide was good, but
things weren’t so bright when
Peterson discussed Palacios’
proposed Cobblestone Hotel
project.
As of last week’s meeting,
no additional investors was
sogmed onto the project since
last month’s PEDC meeting.
“We have communicated
with a heck of a lot of people,” Peterson said. “We had
one that really sounded like a
commitment and he wanted
51-percent of the company
and other little things attached to it.”
However, according to
Peterson, Fritz Jaeger of
BriMark Builders said that
“wasn’t what we wanted to
do.”
The push for investors will
continue noted Peterson, in
hopes of making the project
a reality.
Peterson reported she and
Bay City Chamber’s Mitch
Thames are working together
for a local rural transportation program to communicate
directly with TxDOT.
The Board reviewed the
plans and details for the proposed land purchase and corresponding swap with the
Friends of Elder Citizens.
Peterson noted having a
positive feedback on online
lead generating webinars.
Peterson recently toured
the Port of Freeport and
learned they are interested in
collaborating with the Port
of Palacios on projects in the
future.
Woolf Chimes In
The meeting began with
a question by citizen Chip
Woolf, in regards to the City
becoming a filming destination.
The Board apologized for
letting the certification fall by
the wayside, but noted it had
been put on hold for more
pressing projects.
New Business
The Board discussed the
approval of a maintenance
contract for the PEDC website with Seed Stock Media.
After discussion, the Board
tabled the maintenance contract and directed Director
Paul Christensen to contact
Seed Stock’s representatives
about giving editorial capabilities to the PEDC with
Seed Stock still hosting the
site.
Directors discussed the
Texas Downtown Development & Revitalization Conference held Nov. 3-6 in
Waxahachie. The Board approved spending $400 for the
registration and discussed locating a representative to the
conference.
The Board approved the
annual membership dues of
$165 for the Texas Downtown Association.
Peterson brought up the
PEDC By-Laws and encouraged the Directors to look
over and suggested a few
things were in need of an update.
Next Meeting
The next meeting of the
PEDC is scheduled for Nov.
18 at 1:15 p.m. at the PEDC
Office, located at 420 Main

New face in the cafeteria line...
IT’S a bird, it’s a plane. It’s Central Elementary Principal Buddy Kelley manning
the serving lines at the cafeteria. No job too big or too little for this principal at Central Elementary. When Mr. Kelley was approached with the issue of not enough help
in the cafeteria of his school due to illness, he threw on his mighty apron, gloves and
hair net, and began to serve food, with the biggest smile on his face. The kids were
tickled to see him and it absolutely made their day. It takes a special person to be
able to stretch themselves thin enough to make sure every child has their needs met.
Educators wear many hats to take care of the students kids, and Central is proud to
have such a wonderful, thoughtful and amazing principal running the school. (Submitted Photo)

Thanks to everyone who helped out and
attended the annual Harvest Moon Ball.
All of the proceeds will benefit the library;
more specifically, our after school homework
program, internet fees, and our Winner’s
Circle (Summer programs). Last year we
participated in a dairy tour with our students
and everyone had a blast.
We recently hired a new assistant librarian
to round out our library staff. Stephanie Reiter
moved to Palacios in May from the Fort
Worth area. She previously worked doing
background services and document retrievals
with Texas Court Services. Please come by
sometime as she is excited to get to know the
people of Palacios.
We receive new books often both for adults
and younger patrons. We try to keep abreast
of our readers’ interests. Our younger clients
can check out their favorite authors and take
AR credit quizzes at their convenience. Come
by and check out our new stock. If you don’t
see what you wanted we can put you on our
waiting list.
We were unable to do Science Rocks last
week but we have some great plans for next
week. So be sure and bring your children at
5 each Thursday.
Last week during Story Time Miss Vikijane
read another one of our new books Walk
on the Wild Side by Nicholas Oldland. The
children then worked on headdresses for the
annual play and Thanksgiving presentation
given with the Community Choir. Everyone
choose a new book from the First Book box.
Now that school has begun parents can
sign up their children for the Homework
program. We focus mainly on the elementary
grades through 6th grade. Older students are
welcome to come by and ask for homework
help as well.

Necessity Is the Mother of Invention
Have you ever wished for a lifetime supply of chocolate? That is exactly what Ruth Wakefield received
from the Nestle Chocolate Company. According to
her cookbook entitled Ruth Wakefield’s Tried and True
Recipes first printed in 1936, she and her husband purchased a small tourist lodge called the Toll House Inn in
Whitman, Massachusetts. In years past, the location had
been a stopping off point for travelers to rest, eat, and
pay the toll required for the road between Boston and
New Bedford. In her story “The Accidental Invention
of the Chocolate Chip Cookie,” Kate Krake shares that
Mrs. Wakefield was out of her usual baker’s chocolate
used to make her Chocolate Butter Drop Do Cookies,
and instead she substituted chopped pieces of a Nestle
semisweet chocolate bar expecting the chocolate to
melt into the cookie dough. Much to her surprise the
chocolate softened but did not melt. The first chocolate
chip cookie was born!
After changing the name of her cookie to Toll House
Crunch Cookies, Mrs. Wakefield made a business deal
with Andrew Nestle to receive a lifetime supply of his
chocolate bars in return for his printing her cookie recipe
on his chocolate bar’s package. After Ruth’s appearance on Betty Crocker’s radio show, the popularity of the
cookie grew making it a new American favorite. From
this transaction came the invention of the chocolate chip
as we know it. The Toll House Cookie recipe still appears
on the Nestle chocolate chip packaging today.
Many variations to Ruth’s original recipe have since
been created. The one I am sharing with you today
has another secret ingredient – instant vanilla pudding.
This cookie has a pleasing light texture. To vary the
flavor, you may change the standard semisweet chocolate chips to mint chocolate chips, butterscotch chips
or even seasonal pumpkin flavored chips found on the
shelves this time of year.
Vanilla Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 c. unsalted butter, at room temperature (not margarine)
¾ c. brown sugar, packed
¼ c. sugar
1 – 3.4 oz. package of vanilla instant pudding (not
sugar free)
2 eggs
2 t. vanilla
2 ¼ c. flour
1 t. baking soda
½ t. salt
2 c. chocolate chips or chips of your choice
½ c. finely chopped nuts, optional
Line cookie sheets with parchment and set oven at
350 degrees. With an electric mixer, combine the butter
and sugars. Beat until creamy. Add the pudding mix,
eggs, and vanilla. In a bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. This step replaces sifting. Add the
dry ingredients to the mixture and mix until just combined. Stir in chips by hand. Drop by tablespoonfuls
onto cookie sheets. Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly browned and set. Remove from oven and let cool
on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, remove to a
cooling rack. If you try to move them sooner, they will
break apart. If you are a real chocolate lover, substitute
chocolate pudding for a real chocolate treat! Send questions and comments to [email protected]

Shark tailspin continues in 44-0 loss to Bobcats
BY RYAN WEST
What had been a faint flicker of light that had been at the
end of the Palacios Sharks’
2015 season was extinguished following last week’s
44-0 blowout by Hempstead.
Palacios dropped to 1-7
on the season behind their
sixth straight loss and second
shutout of the season and all
glimmer of hope at a possible
playoff push was buried in
the Shark Stadium grass.
For the Sharks and head
coach Brad Bowden, the
game couldn’t have gone
much worse.
The Shark offense continued to flounder on the field
and mustered just 105-yards
total - an improvement over
the previous several weeks.
Offensively, Palacios continued its inefficient tango of
one step forward and three to
four steps back.
However ineffective the
offense has been, the defense
was equally ineffective at
keeping the opponent in front
of them, let alone out of the
end zone.
The Bobcats ran the Sharks
into the turf with 251-yards
on the ground and three
touchdowns. Hempstead lit
up the Sharks for 126-yards
through the air and another
three scores.
Along with the brutal play
on both sides of the ball,
the fabric that makes of the
Sharks’ squad appeared to be
unraveling.
Two times the Sharks were
forced to take a time-out after players refused to be substituted out of the game. At
another point in the game, a
Shark player was witnessed
walking off the sidelines and
into the locker room in the
midst of the third quarter.
For as bad as the final
36-minutes were for the
Sharks, the first 12 off the
clock had the makings of a
real ball game being played
in Shark Stadium.
On the games’ opening
possession, the Bobcats
picked up one first down and
just 16 yards before the Shark
defense forcde a turnover on
downs as Hempstead’s fourth
down pass attempt hit the
dirt.
The Sharks went to work
in Bobcat territory but after
making their way inside the
Hempstead 30, the offense
stalled out and turned the ball
over on downs at the Hempstead 35.
Hempstead marched down
the field and down to the
Shark three yard line before
three false-start penalties
pushed the ball back to the
20. On fourth and goal from
the 20, the Sharks forced
their second straight turnover
on downs to get the ball back
and keep Hempstead off the
scoreboard.
Backed up inside their own
20, the Sharks made their
way to midfield but the drive
stalled out at the Bobcat 46.
The Bobcats took over and
six plays and 80-yards later
found themselves in the endzone on a 59-yard touchdown
pass with 9:37 left in the first
quarter.
Palacios regained the momentum on the following
kickoff on a big return out
to the 50 by Danny Rodriguez. The momentum swing
was short lived as the Sharks
punted the ball away three
plays later.

Tigers clipped by Boling
41-34 in double OT
BY RYAN WEST
The Tidehaven Tigers
have nothing to hang their
heads about after last week’s
thirlling double overtime loss
to Boling, 41-34.
“It was a classic Tidehaven
versus Boling ball game,”
said Tidehaven head coach
Brent Mascheck. “Since I
have been at Tidehaven, every time we played Boling, it
has been a physical battle the
entire game.”
While the game was physical throughout, Mascheck
noted the game was a clean
game with a total of five penalties the entire game.”
In the end Mascheck said
Boling’s athletic ability finally took over the game.
“Boling has so much athletic ability but we played with
so much heart and desire. Unfortunatly we didn’t come out
on top with a win.”

Despite the loss, Mascheck
harped on how impressed he
was with the fight of his Tigers.
“We were down 21-14 at
half, but we kept fighting the
entire game.”
The back and forth battle
between the Tigers and Bulldogs saw Boling hold onto a
lead for the majority of the
game before the Tigers rallied back with a pair of fourth
quarter touchdowns to take
the lead with under three
minutes left in the game.
Boling managed to drive
down the field and on 4th &
12 from the 42, Boling QB
Vernon Jackson avoided the
rushing Tigers and launched
a rocket towards the endzone,
where a diving Bulldog receiver reeled in the game tying touchdown pass.
Boling missed the extra
point and the game was knotted up 34-34 with less than a
minute left in regulation.
The Tigers managed to
push the ball down the field
but were halted as the regulation whistle rang out.
The two teams duked it out
to a scoreless first overtime
period to force a second overtime session.
In the second extra quarter,
Boling’s Jaylon Tolbert broke
into the endzone from nine
yards out. The extra point
kick split the uprights to give
Boling a 41-34 lead.
The Tigers muscled their
way down the field to the
14-yardline before Boling
held firm on defense to preserve the double overtime
victory.
Despite the loss, the Tigers
played a whale of a ball game.
The Tigers rushed for 254
yards and passed for another
169.
While the offense churned
up the yardage, the defense
had difficulty stopping the talented Bulldogs, who rushed
for 295-yards and passed for
another 122.
Tidehaven sophomore QB
Bryce Galvan completed
9-17 passes for three touchdowns and 169-yards and was
intercepted once. He rushed
eight times for 37-yards and
a touchdown.
Brandon Brune led the Tigers with five receptions for
105-yards and a touchdown
and had a team high-104yards on the ground on 12
carries.
Jacob Galvan snagged
three passes for 64-yards with
two going for scores and he
picked up 25-yards on seven
rush attempts.
Leopards up next
The Tigers (2-1, 5-3) will
travel up Hwy. 35 to tangle
with Van Vleck’s Leopards
(1-2, 2-6) in the battle for
Matagorda County feline supremacy at 7:30 p.m. this Friday (Oct. 30)
“We have to regroup in a
hurry and get ready to play
the fastest team in the district in Van Vleck,” remarked
Mascheck. “Van Vleck might
be the fastest team in Region
IV right now. We are going
to have to play a very clean
game to beat them at their
place.”
The Leopards roared past
the Tigers in last year’s meeting 45-21.
pendulum shifted in favor of
the Bobcats for good, as on
the first play of the drive the
Bobcat back ripped off a 66yard touchdown run.
Three plays later the
Sharks booted the ball back
to Hempstead.
The Bobcats marched
down the field 59-yards in
eight plays for their third
score of the night with 2:13
left before halftime.
Down 21-0 before halftime
is a place where no player or
coach wants to be. But there
is still hope for a second half
spark to catapult the Sharks
to a comeback.
With a little over twominutes left in the half, the
Sharks were looking to break
the goose-egg before going
into the locker room.
Instead, back-to-back quarterback sacks took the Sharks
seven yards in the wrong di-
rection from their own 15 to
their own 8.
On the third play of the
drive, the snap missed its target (a recurring theme this
season) and left QB Ethan
Garcia to eat the pigskin and
surrender a safety instead
of allowing the Bobcats the
quick recovery for a touchdown.
It was the same story in the
second half.
The Sharks opened with a
three and out, followed by the
Bobcats marching 50-yards
for their fourth touchdown on
the night.
The Bobcats abuse of the
Sharks continued with two
more touchdowns in the final
one and a half quarters of the
game.
Bad, Bad & Bad
The Shark offense was
stagnant and predictable for
its fourth consecutive game,
Going over the block...
while the defense has played
like a can of shredded tuna.
During the four game span,
the Sharks have been outscored 193-20. The defense
has surrendered 1,623 yards
and the offense has produced
491.
That is not a formula for
gridiron success.
The task this Friday (Oct.
30) doesn’t get any easier as
the boys in red travel to take
on the Cowboys at 7:30 p.m.
in Edna.
The Cowboys (3-0, 6-2)
are the lone undefeated squad
remaining in District 14-3A
DI after rolling Industrial 5220 last week.
Edna has the clear cut no.
2 offense in the league with
an average of 412-yards per
game.
The Cowboys bucked the
Sharks 42-14 in last year’s
meeting.
AS teammates Cesar Jiminez (60) and Joseph Rodriguez (5) put the hit on the Hempstead ball carrier, Aric Ward (16) fights through the block attempt to assist on bringing down the Bobcat. (Beacon Photo by Ryan West)
