Port updated on county prospects by MCEDC’s Strotheide
BY TERRY MOSIER
With all Matagorda County Navigation District #1 (MCND) Commissioners present at
last week’s meeting, Matagorda County Economic Development Corporation (MCEDC)
Director Mike Strotheide informed the commissioners of recent activity in the County.
The MCEDC website is now up and running, however it still needs some more work
to fill it out and the newsletter is being worked
on.
Stroetheide reported having been contacted
by:
• One company interested in locating in this
area is project Bon Bon. A confection company that needs a 100,000 sq. ft. building and 15
to 20 acres and will employ 30 to 40 persons.
• Destination Entertainment looking for
acreage in the area.
• A call center for 15 employees that needed
a building that I located for them in Bay City.
• A company that processes biomass into
plastics and I have gotten a second call from
them wanting more information. They need
20 acres and will employee 10 persons.
DRS Hurricane Ike dock replacement
The commissioners heard discussion on the
contractors who attended the pre bid meeting
on July 23, and the scheduled bid opening on
July 23, 2014. Morris remarked, “No action
is required today, but we may need to have a
special called meeting to accept the winning
bid and approve any short fall. “
Port Dock Maintenance
The commissioners approved a dock maintenance bid package for repairs on over 400
feet of dock at SeaCo and some other areas
of repair around the harbor. These repairs will

Port Maintenance Operations
The port maintenance operations report
was presented by the Maintenance Supervisor, Larry Lanfear:
• Mowing/Ground Maintenance: Due to
the recent showers we have been working toward catching up with our mowing program.
• Equipment Repairs: We reviewed our
maintenance records for all of our equipment
and used the rain days to get all of the equipment maintenance up to date. We have the
15’ shredder out of service due to a problem
with finding the correct safety guards which
is hampering us in our mowing program.
Kenny’s Small Engine Repair patched a
hole in the fuel tank of the ZD 25.
RLP Services repaired a broken drive shaft
on the diesel distributor.

include the installation of up to 15 bollards
and 40 pilings at the SeaCo location. The
commissioners are hoping the entire scope
of work will come in under $700,000. Each
installed Class “A” piling is estimated to cost
$1,500. Commissioner Neeley remarked, “At
current rates, it would take 15 and one-third
years to recover the investment we are spending on just these repairs”.
Monthly Lease Report
The monthly Port lease report given by Port
Director Morris:
• 1 cancelled recreational lease at SBM
• 1 new recreational lease at SBM
• 2 Renewed recreational leases at SBM
• 2 Renewed recreational leases at TB#3

Upon listening to various
individuals at different
meetings (Palacios Economic
Development Corporation and
City Council) last year’s sales
tax rebates are now considered
to have been unusually greater
than typically expected.
The monthly rebate of the
city’s sales tax collected on
May sales, reported to the
State Comptroller in June and
arriving in Palacios in July
was $46,433; significantly less
than 2013’s rebate of $68,656.
Upon comparing May 2012’s
sales tax rebate which nearly
totaled $59,000; proves reality
to the fluke in last years’ greater
than usual sales tax.
In the first seven months of
2014 the city has now received
$389,009 in sales tax money, a
-21.55% decline over the same
period last year.
Statewide, State Comptroller
Susan Combs said state sales
tax revenue in June was
$2.24 billion, up 3.7 percent
compared to June 2013.
“Sales tax revenues continue
to grow at a moderate pace,”
Combs said.
“The increase was led by
remittances from the wholesale
trade, services, and restaurant
sectors. Fiscal year-to-date
collections have now grown
by 5.2 percent.”
May was a good month of
sales activity for seven of the
13 area cities, as they received
larger rebates this month than
they did for the same period a
year ago. Palacios is not the
sole city falling behind in year
to date rebates, other area cities
that have not exceeded year to
date percentages from 2013
are: Edna, El Campo, Ganado
and Wharton.
Totals for the 12 other
area cities- this month, same
time last year, change in
parenthesis; year to date,
same time last year, change
in parenthesis- all rounded
off to the nearest dollar or
percentage; are as follows:

MCEDC joins LCRBC in water fight
to be held Sat. at KC Hall
BY HEATHER MENZIES
Matagorda County Economic Development
Corporation (MCEDC) board voted to join
the Lower Colorado River Basin Coalition at
its Friday, June 27 meeting.
MCEDC board was unanimous in its decision to join with other members such as
Matagorda County, City and County of Bastrop; Colorado County, Colorado Water Issues Committee, area county judges, as well
as organizations such as Ducks Unlimited and
others to who believe the Highland Lakes are
being favored in emergency drought proto-
cols being considered by the LCRA.
The current goal of the coalition is to ensure
the trigger-point of Highland Lakes goes no
higher. Allowing it to move from its current
850,000 acre-feet release to the proposed 1.4
million acre-feet effectively allows the lakes
to flood downstream residents when it does
rain, yet forbids releases even when the lakes
are over half full.
“With the ongoing water rights challenging Matagorda County, it is vital to support
efforts that give a regional voice to issues
impacting rice farming and natural habitat,

Palacios Lions Club installs 2014-15 officers
The Lions Club of Palacios has installed
a new slate of Officers for the coming year
of 2014-2015. The officers are: Deb Smith,
President, Felix Sanchez, 1st Vice President, Lori King, Secretary, Erwin Jantzen,
Membership and Glen Smith Tail-twister.
The Lions Club of Palacios is an integral
part of the community and has served the
citizens of Palacios for over 60 years. Local Lions have supported many projects
and operations that directly benefit the
community such as the Palacios Hub, the
Palacios Library, Lions Disaster Relief,
an annual visit from Santa Claus for PISD
schoolchildren and of course, the Annual
Palacios July 4th of July Celebration and
Fireworks Display.
In addition to support of the Texas Lions
Children’s Camp in Kerrville, the Palacios
Lions Club works annually to support the
LCRBC
Lions Eye Bank of Texas and provides
exams and new eyeglasses to local PISD
school children. In 2014, the Palacios Lions Club contributed over $5,000.00 to
various youth services in our community
including the Palacios Boys & Girls Club,
Palacios Little League, Palacios First Book
and Scholarships for College to name just
a few.
“I am excited to be selected as President
for the coming year,” said, Deb Smith.
“The Palacios Lions Club takes the Lions
motto of ‘We Serve’ to heart and we look
forward to doing all we can to continue our
strong tradition of service to Palacios.”
To learn more about Lionism and how the
Lions Club International serves throughout
the world go to www.lionsclubs.org or just
ask a local Palacios Lion.

as well as potential industrial development,”
said Michael D. Strotheide, MCEDC executive director.
“Our rural communities’ economic viability
relies on water sources for sustained agriculture, wildlife and tourism. It is a natural fit for
our organization to join the coalition as this
issue affects over half of the growth activities
we focus on. In fact, access to water is clearly
one of the most important challenges we currently face,” Strotheide said.
The coalition was created to protect the surface water rights of Lower Colorado River
Basin communities. On June 9, the Lower
Colorado River Basin Coalition held its first
meeting and elected its officers and executive
committee. Kirby Brown, executive director
of Ducks Unlimited, was elected chairman;
rice farmer and ex-state representative Robby
Cook was voted co-chair; Bay City Chamber
President Mitch Thames was elected treasurer
and Robert Howard as secretary.
Individuals, businesses and organizations
are encouraged to join with the coalition to
have a voice in the future of Matagorda County’s water resources.
For more information about the current activities of the coalition and to obtain a membership form, visit www.waterdownstream.
com online or pick one up at the Bay City
Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture office located in the Bay City Civic Center, 201
Seventh Street.
MCEDC is focused on growth through the
recruitment of business and
industry; through support of
tourism infrastructure development and through expansion of existing businesses and
agricultural sectors throughout Matagorda County.

system running temporally
and evaluated the system as
being in very poor condition. The air handler case is
very corroded and being held
together with duct tape and
the coils on the condensing
unit are falling apart which is
causing extremely high head
pressure. It will need to be replaced very soon.

the Safety Access Platform
at SBM and PMI is presently working on correcting
the problems and hope to be
complete this week.
I will be setting up a meeting with T Con (the sewer
contractor working on the
City project) to inquire about
them making the repairs to
the Diesel Mechanic Shop lift

We added additional fasteners to the pier dock deck
at the La Petite Belle slip in
SBM. This decking will need
to be replaced in the near future due to deterioration.

straps until we can make permanent repairs.

Three math whizzes are enough for one family
Three out of four isn’t bad,
huh?
As written here before, I’m
the eldest of four sons in the
Webb family. Our parents
came up during the Great Depression and, want to or not,
they didn’t have easy opportunities to further their education.
Both were humble people,
shy to a fault, in their demeanor around people. Neither had
it in them to be mean to anyone, although a few spankings
as a youngster made me feel
they were. At least until the
sting wore off.
Mother understood numbers and
money although she professed to
be average or below in intelligence.
Bah!
Dad had less education than Mom
because he had even less opportunity
and that tough existence tossed him
onto the street and fighting to get a
toehold on life at a pre-teen age.
After watching him for years, I
decided he could have earned an
advanced degree in math. Lawrence
Ray (L. Ray to friends all his life)
Webb was a mathematical genius
and had a mind like a 6-gigabyte
calculator. I know that from watching him for a big chunk of his alltoo-short 57 years.
He had the capacity to calculate
gross livestock weights by looking
at a truckload of cattle, then computing their worth via a per pound
price, all “in his head” without the
benefit of a calculator.
While Mother didn’t have
that genius way
with numbers,
you couldn’t
fool her, especially
not
when it came
to calculating
costs of feeding her family
and managing
a
household
budget. Don’t
WILLIS WEBB
Guest Columnist
even try.
She had a
way with words
about figures, though, and anything
else for that matter. Once, I repeated
an oft-repeated platitude: “Figures
don’t lie.” Mom bounced right back
and bounced me off the wall with
her own bromide: “Figures don’t lie,
but liars figure.” Huh?
Now, I have to admit that my math skills
aren’t too bad because
some of that knowledge did manage to sift
from their genes and
DNA through my thick
skull. Give me a minute
and my skills aren’t too
shabby.
What I got, that perhaps my three younger
siblings didn’t get, was
a gift for creativity and
putting words together.
That pales, however, in
the shadow of the math
minds of these three.
Letters To
The Editor
Two problems with our hospital....
Dear Editor,
I have been to the emergency room in Palacios twice
this month. Sunday afternoon, a short wait, great stiches,
very competent guys. Midweek, I took a friend in with
equally excellent results. Both times I thought what a pain
in the neck it would be to go all the way to Bay City because we had no hospital! More than a pain, if you’re having a heart attack!
Two bad things are happening at our little hospial and
we all need to pay attention. It’s too late to fix one problem. Cherrie Waites is leaving as CFO of the hospital. She
cared about the survival of the hospital. She was instrumental in attracting a very good new doctor and paying
the bills when there wasn’t much money coming in. She’s
gone and we will miss her more than we realize.
The second bad thing can be fixed if everybody will
wake up. When you pay your taxes that little number at
the bottom goes to the hospital district. That little number
adds up to millions of dollars and none of it goes to your
local hospital. Palacios Hospital is being shorted several
million dollars annually. The reason for the unfair distribution of your tax money doesn’t really matter because if
we don’t get it our hospital will close. I beleive the American Revolution started over a similar tax issue...So let’s
demand tax fairness before one of us is playing ‘beat the
clock’ in an ambulance to Bay City.

GM Car Recall
General Motors has recalled 1.6 million
compact cars sold from 2003-2007
because faulty ignition switches can
shut off the engine and electrical power
while driving, disabling power-assist
steering, brakes and front seat air bags.
Deaths and serious injuries may have
been caused by these defects. If you or
someone you love was killed or seriously
injured, call us for professional insight.

We were all encouraged at home
to be the best we could be at math
because that and critical thinking
skills were necessary to have something approaching a good life, according to the conventional wisdom
proffered by L. Ray and Ruth Webb.
Upon arriving at my freshman
year in high school, I felt compelled
to take every math class at Teague
High School. My parents’ emphasis, plus the fact that the wife of
Dad’s first cousin taught math there,
shoved me right into Algebra I, Algebra II, Plane Geometry, Solid
Geometry and Trigonometry. No, I
don’t mean Chevy Chase’s alias in
Fletch: Trigonometry Jones.
Solid geometry probably kept me
out of the upper echelon of students.
I had trouble thinking in 3D. Even
though I have never liked math and
took five courses in high school, I
managed to get a Bachelor of Sci-
ence in college without taking a solitary math course. Don’t ask.
While I did not shame my parents
when it came to grades in math, I
couldn’t hold an isosceles triangle to
any of brothers in math and science.
I did help Mom ride herd on them
(the siblings maintain it was “riding” them and “spurring” with spike
rowels. Harumph!)
Kerry got a degree in accounting,
parlayed that into a stint with the
FBI, then into the corporate world.
Clydell also collected a shingle in
accounting and successfully started
and operated his own businesses for
many years.
The “baby,” Danny, got a running
jump into the computer world with
a degree in computer science. He
started his own company, then sold
it and became a consultant in semiretirement.
And, here I am still putting words
on paper and peddling it to community newspapers. Wouldn’t trade,
though.

By Vikijane Mosier
Last Tuesday as summer reading continues on, Emelda
Rios read Kite Day by Will Hildebrand and the children
made family trees with clouds and raindrops. On Wednesday Kristin Webb read Shimmer and Splash and the children made waves in a bottle. In Blessing Teresa Blanchette
read From Caterpillar to Butterfly by Deborah Heligman
and Hungry Butterfly by Eric Carle. The children then colored and cut out the lifecycle of the butterfly and made
clothespin butterflies. Helpers were Christine Naiser,
Heather Cornett, Christy Griffith, Crystal Mozley, Desiree
Vega, Zoe Winkenwerder and Karla Moreno. Children
in Palacios and Blessing both enjoyed refreshments and
chose a new book from First Book Matagorda. Join us in
Palacios on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m. in July
and in Blessing on the first 4 Thursdays at 2 p.m/ in July.
Refreshments were donated by Ethyleene Keel, Yvonne
Ramos, Terry Mosier (ice), Leala Kahlich, Joan Muchmore, Miss Murphy, and Rudy Mosier.
In last week’s article I inadvertently left off Kalaya Riccio’s name off of the volunteers for the Science Rocks
trailer and she was a big help.
In Science Rocks this week Kristin Webb demonstrated
Newtonian law with her bucket of beads. Tyler and Timothy Webb demonstrated how to weave together 7 craft
sticks without glue and totally dismantle it by just taking
out one stick. Everyone helped put together a bridge using
craft sticks donated by Kristin Webb and Regina Jewell.
Annual sales tax holiday Aug. 8-10
Texas Comptroller Susan
Combs reminds shoppers
they can save money on certain items priced under $100
during the state’s annual
sales tax holiday. This year,
the sales tax holiday is scheduled for Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, Aug. 8 -10.
The law exempts most
clothing, footwear, school
supplies and backpacks
priced under $100 from sales
tax, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100
they spend during the weekend.
“Families gearing up for
the new school year will not
pay any sales tax for many
back-to-school items rang-
ing from pens to blue jeans,”
Combs said. “When the backto-school list is long and the
money is short, it can be difficult for Texas families. We
hope this tax break will help
ease that burden.”
Lists of apparel and school
supplies that may be purchased tax free can be found
on the Comptroller’s website
at www.TexasTaxHoliday.
org.
This year, shoppers will
save an estimated $82.7 million in state and local sales
taxes during the Sales Tax
Holiday.The tax holiday
weekend has been an annual
event since 1999.

Graveside services for Emily S. Cabarubio, 73, of Palacios will be held on Aug. 8,
2014 at 4 p.m. at the Palacios
Cemetary.
Emily was born on August
7, 1940 in Olivia, Texas and
went to be with her Lord on
July 10, 2014 at Unihealth of
Fairburn where she was under
hospice care.
Emily lived the last 5 years
in Georgia with her children
and their families but is a
long-time resident of Pala-
cios, Texas.
Emily met and married Robert S. Cabarubio and enjoyed 29 years of marriage before he preceded her in
death in 1988. She was the matriarch of her family and
would welcome anyone who came to her home. She was
always quick to offer a meal or help a friend and besides
her 3 children there are countless others who call her
“mom” or “mawmaw.” Emily had many jobs over the years but was probably
most known for working at the nuclear plant and then
later as a custodian for the PISD. She was forced to retire when she started to lose her eye site due to diabetes. She then moved to Georgia where she was able to be
around her grandchildren while they grew up and had
children of their own.
Emily is survived by her sisters, Delfina Bazor, Felicidad Torres, Ramona Longoria and her children, James
Cabarubio and his wife Diane, Allen Cabarubio and his
wife Terri, Roberta Garner and her husband Todd and
by 16 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.
Emily loved the Lord and was a member of the Living
Word Church in Palacios, Texas. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Living Word Church in honor of
Emily Cabarubio where funds will be used to help with
expenses and the balance donated to her church.
