PCMC Travels Across The Pond To Oxford University La Petite Belle Out For Repairs Addressing bacteria impairments at Tres Palacios Watershed meeting Kevin Wagner, PhD and Allen Berthold, Phd, from the Texas Water Resources Institute (TWRI), conducted last Thursday’s Tres Palacios Watershed Stakeholder’s meeting for the purpose of addressing bacteria impairments in the Matagorda Bay Basin. The state requested TWRI to assist in addressing these issues, and TWRI seeks to establish a committee and work groups comprised of local citizens and organizations to provide local input into the Tres Palacios watershed-based plan. The Tres Palacios Watershed is de- scribed as 235,056 acres (367 square miles) beginning near El Campo, and flowing into Tres Palacios Bay. The greatest area of concern, the tidal segment, begins 0.5 miles upstream of the confluence with Wilson Creek, and flows 9 miles into Tres Palacios Bay. There are two monitoring sites in that segment, one of which measured 1.3 million colony forming units per 100 milliliters on a particular day in July. How does Bacteria get into Creeks? Dr. Wagner and Dr. Berthold presented attendees with handouts and a slide show outlining water quality issues in Texas, with bacteria representing 57 per- OCT. 14, 2015 VOL. 108 • NO. 42 PALACIOS TEXAS • cent of the impairments. This brings up the question; how does bacteria get into creeks? Animals directly deposit fecal material into water. Fecal material, such as pet waste, livestock manure and wildlife scat runs off into the creek. Also, failing septic systems, illegal dumping and improperly treated wastewater discharge contribute to bacteria levels. Tres Palacios Watershed Coordination Committee The watershed plan will be developed by the stakeholders through the Committee with support from the Texas Water Resources Institute (TWRI), which (See WATER, Page 2) $1.00 USPS 418460 Serving The City By The Sea Since 1907 Final round of interviews this week for three unamed PISD Supt. finalists BY ALAN C.

FRIDAY WATER shall serve as the Watershed Coordinator. The Committee is to develop a watershedbased plan to restore water quality in the Tres Palacios Creek. The basic goals of this public input process include ensuring that a local perspective is included in the development of the watershedbased plan by encouraging an open dialogue on water quality issues, and pursuing the successful implementation of the watershed-based plan once developed. The doctors also outlined the ground rules for the Committee, its members and future meetings. Key Elements of a Watershed Plan Key elements of the plan are: Identification of sources of bacteria, estimated loading reductions needed, description of management measures, education of outreach needed, schedule for implementation, implementation milestones, possible sources of financial assistance and estimated costs, measures of success and a monitoring Team representing PCMC presented cases at 18th World Congress International Society on Toxicology at historic Oxford University Palacios Community Medical Center would like to congratulate their team that attended the 18th World Congress International Society on Toxicology at Oxford University, UK. Several cases were submitted and published in the Toxicon Journal (An interdisciplinary journal on the toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms). Cases involved the treatment of snakebite envenomation of various degrees where the team was able to point out pitfalls in the treatment of these cases with the objective of improving patient care in these scenarios. Presentations were made of the published cases at the conference which was attended by experts in the field of toxicology from all over the world. “There is no doubt that we made a positive impact during the meeting”, stated Dr. Gross.

Gas drops to $1.84 in Wharton WHARTON: Average retail gasoline prices in Texas have fallen 0.8 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.03 a gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 13,114 gas outlets in Texas. This compares with the national average, that has not moved in the last week, to $2.29 a gallon, according to gasoline price website, GasBuddy.com. In Wharton, many locations are selling gas at $1.89 a gallon, and some were spotted as low as $1.84. Including the change in gas prices in Texas during the past week, prices on Sunday were 113.8 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago, and are 23.2 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 22.1 cents per gallon during the last month, and stands 104.6 cents lower than this day one year ago. “Retail gasoline prices should be expected to continue a slow but steady descent consistent with what typically occurs when cheaper “winter blend” gasoline becomes more available as we near the beginning of the fourth quarter,” said Gregg Laskoski, GasBuddy petroleum analyst. - Wharton Journal Spectator West Nile still in Coppell COPPELL: Mosquito problems continue well into fall this year, and another trap in town yielded a West Nile positive sample. Dallas County this week reported that there have been 20 confirmed human cases of West Nile virus in the county this year, including nine of the more severe neuro-invasive disease. No human cases were reported in Coppell, according to county information. City and county officials urge residents to continue protective measures against mosquitos, including using repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants in the morning and evening, and eliminating sources of standing water. - Citizens’ Advocate Skydiving instructor dies in plane crash LEXINGTON: A 32-year old Lee County man died Sunday when his single engine aircraft crashed near Texas Skydiving Center in the Lexington Area. The Department of Public Safety identified the man as Christopher Lyons. Lyons, who lived in a home on property owned by the center, had been employed by Texas Skydiving for about six months, according to co-workers. A preliminary DPS report said Lyons had released a group of skydivers and was headed back to base when his Cessna 182 apparently stalled. Witnesses said the plane was “sputtering” as it headed down. Lyons was pronounced dead at the scene, 2.1 miles from the airfield. The National Transportation Safety Board and FAA are also investigating. It’s the second fatal incident involving Texas Skydiving Center in three years. On April 1, 2012, a 61 year-old Austin man died in a parachuting incident. - The Rockdale Reporter COME IN AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE: •Antique & good used furniture • Collectibles • Good used pots & pans • Kitchenwares • Cast iron cookware • Decorative items • China • Crystal • Knick knacks • Books of all kinds • Jewelry (new & vintage) • Small & large appliances.

He was an adult by age, but his picture and mannerisms make him appear to be about 13. It is amazing just how weak the family structure has gotten in our society today.

I’d rate Law & Order: SVU (Special Victims Unit) and Blue Bloods as tied for first for me and Julie lives for Downton Abbey. SVU features Mariska Hargitay, Richard Belzer, Dann Florek and former rapper IceT. All are detectives in the unit, which focuses mainly on sex crimes (many of which, of course, lead to murders and other major crimes). Hargitay has perhaps the most interesting background in that she is the daughter of the late glamour queen Jayne Mansfield and body-builder and Hungarian-born former Mr. Universe Mickey Hargitay. Almond-eyed beauty Hargitay plays detective Olivia Benson and does so in a manner that elicits very favorable comments from viewers, including some former sexcrime victims who choose to speak up because of the show. Blue Bloods stars one of my TV favorites, Tom Selleck, as the leader of a family of policemen (with due respect to his retired former cop father, played by Len Cariou). Bridget Moynihan provides beauty and sex appeal. Moynihan was once married to pro football quarterback Tom Brady who stupidly dumped her (Ich!) to marry some South American sex goddess. She is Selleck’s assistant district attorney daughter in the show. Donnie Wahlberg, who stole my hairdo and hairline, is another Selleck’s son following in Dad’s footsteps. Baby-faced Will Estes, who provides sex appeal for women viewers, plays Selleck’s youngest son, a young street cop. I’ll watch Selleck in anything. And, Moynihan, I’ll just watch…and watch….and… All of this is made with one other caveat. Mystery and detective shows are fun to watch, unless there’s a good, relevant football or basketball game on the tube (baseball on TV puts me to sleep). But, I’ll drop all of that to read a good historical treatise or a mystery novel anytime. Now, if someone would just write a history-based mystery for TV show or movie pitting a football star versus a basketball star, I’d really be entranced.

Alapha Club goes south of the border The theme of the Club’s meeting on Monday, October 5, was Mexican/Tejano Music. Roll call was done to the question of What Mexican Town are you most familiar with? Everyone had at one time or another gone to various towns South of the Border on trips for scuba diving, swordfish fishing, bullfights, cheap drugs, restaurants, and even rationed sugar. With changes on the Border nowadays, many expressed nostalgia for past times of carefree innocence. In Mexico, music celebrates all life events, including funerals. Clips from a YouTube-based presentation played excerpts of Mexican music, and its fusion over the years from Pre-Columbian folk music, the Spanish years (which brought the polka, waltz, the bolero), imported slavery with the resulting major music categories: Son, Ranchera, and Jazz (from Cuba). The famous Augustin Lara was an important composer in the so-called Classical style, and Country/ Western is included in the performances of Tejano singer Freddie Fender. Much Mexican music is widely recognized such as the love song, Besame Mucho; La Cucaracha (originally political, like Yankee Doodle Dandy); La Bamba (‘The Shake’); the Mexican Hat Dance (often a PE exercise in American Schools). The very popular Mariachi style with distinctive charro outfits spilled over the border long ago. But the brass sound for which they are famous was not introduced until 1950. Especially enjoyable was a video featuring little girls dressed in folk dance costumes, dancing to a Mexican beat. There were lots of Oh’s and Ah’s when the camera focused on a cute three-yearold swirling her big purple skirt. The meeting ended on a sweet note with Mexican cookies.

BY RYAN WEST Palacios Beacon Publisher For the past 35 years Palacios has had a presence at the Regional Cross Country meet. For the 2015 Shark and Sharkette harriers, that streak is at stake at this week’s District 28-3A meet held at the Marine Education Center in Palacios. “We have some outstanding teams in our district,” said Palacios CC coach Bill Fort. “Industrial, Rice - boys and girls are very strong this year and it will be a challenge to continue the streak of 35 years in a row of qualifying for the Regional meet, established by (the late) coach Luz Arredondo.” “Hopefully we are up to the challenge.” The varsity and junior varsity boys & girls races will begin at 9 a.m. At 4 p.m., the junior high district meet will be run.

P.M.FRIDAY FRIDAY Beacon BY RYAN WEST Palacios Beacon Publisher Sometimes a favor shouldn’t be returned. After Palacios snapped its 22 game district losing streak with a win over Industrial last year, the Sharks returned the streak snapping favor in last Friday’s 23-6 loss to the Cobras. The Cobras entered last Friday without having tasted the sweetness of victory since the final game of the 2013 season, a streak of 15 consecutive losses. Adding more irony to the tale - Industrial’s last win came over the Sharks, via a 26-21 score. For a Shark squad coming off their bye week, the District opening game against Industrial could have opened the door of possibility for the Sharks’ postseason hopes. Instead the Sharks looked like fish out of water - on offense, defense and special teams. The Shark defense corralled the Cobras on their first three offensive possessions, but on the fourth, Industrial’s Avery Milner took the handoff and went 76-yards for the touchdown. The defense settled in in the first half and twice stopped the Cobras in the red zone. But with an offense going nowhere it was all for naught. The Sharks netted one first down and punted on their first six posessions. And on that sixth, the snap sailed over the punters head and into the enzone to give the Cobras 2-pointsThat was bad, but then it got ugly. On the free kick following the safety, Industrial’s Milner returned the kick for a touchdown as the Cobras went up 16-0 before halftime. At the halftime whistle the Sharks were on the wrong size of nothing in yard. In the second half, Palacios marched inside the Cobra 10, before Industrial’s Bailey Kolb stepped in front of Ethan Garcia’s pass. Indus- Airing it out to Adrian...

The Sharks avoided being shutout by the winless-Cobras when Danny Rodriguez caught a pass from Ethan Garcia and zigged his way 70-yards for a touchdown with 3:21 left in the game and Industrial already ahead 23-0. The Sharks finished the night with 133 yards through the air and 12 on the ground.

While vertically deficient, Tran’s fight on the play forced an incomplete pass. (Beacon Photo by Ryan West) The varsity Sharkettes’ woes on the volleyball hardwood continued with a pair of District losses last week. Palacios opened the week by dropping a hard fought five set match to Rice, 19-25, 2518, 24-26, 25-18, 13-15. Sharkette coach Barbara Buckley-Peeples called it “a very tough loss.” “The girls played really well against a very good defensive team. Both Teams battled back and forth and the sets were played point for point.” With a monster game in the loss, Katy Sexton registered 32 kills, 27 digs, a block and served up three aces. Cameron Greaves finished the night with 24 digs, three kills, a block and one ace. Lila Filip tacked on 23 digs, four blocks, three kills and set fly to one ace. Brittany Guerrero led the Sharkettes with 18 assists and finished with 22 digs and one ace. Kamryn Vickers tallied 16 assists, 10 digs and one ace; Elizabeth Ortiz finished with 19 digs and eight kills; Marissa Figueroa added nine digs, five assists and one kill; and Chae Neimeyer picked up four digs, one assist and VARSITY Sharkette gers tied the game at 14-14 one kill.

After the Tiger defense forced the Cougars to punt, the Tigers marched down the field and set up the game winning 14-yard field goal by Austin Hammons. With two-seconds on the clock, Hammons split the uprights to give the Tigers the District win. Although pleased to be 1-0 in District, Mascheck wasn’t pleased with his teams performance and effort throughout the game. “I was very disappointed in our play in the first half. We didn’t play with any energy or effort,” Mascheck noted. “I thought in the second half the defense really responded in a huge way and on offense we made engouh plays to win the game.” Danbury Next The Tigers look to go 2-0 in the District 13-3A DII standings this Friday (Oct. 16) as the Tigers travel to Danbury TIDEHAVEN’S Brandon Brune (8) looks for running room during last week’s 17-14 to face the 2-4, 0-1 Panthers.
