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.

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 (See WATER, Page 2) 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 (See PISD, Page 3) Judge Estlinbaum holds court at CofC luncheon BY ALAN C.

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.

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 a answer session, during which Betty Scurlock asked, “I have a sister-in-law that passed away 20 years ago at the age of 83, and she’s still receiving jury summons; why is that?” While the judge explained that the Congressman Farenthold Town Hall meeting next Thurs. at Port Congressman Blake Farenthold (D-27) will host a Town Hall/ Round Table on next Thurs.

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 South Jetty 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 Association 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 one and only....• PALACIOS BEACON • JUDGE Craig Estlinebaum (130th District) discussed the types of cases handled by his office and the positive impacts he’s made while in office for the past 15-years.

Assistance available to rural residents can help with the purchase or construction of homes, through the agency’s direct and guaranteed programs, and can help with the repair and rehabilitation of homes. Assistance is available through USDA Rural Development community programs and business and cooperative programs to enhance the quality of life for rural Texans. Community PAVILION 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 engineering” will continue in hopes of reducing the cost of building the new Pavilion even further. Approved Items Items that were approved at the meeting included the minutes from the Aug. 8 meeting, IRS Form 990 by Goldman, Hunt & Notz, LLP, and disbursements programs provide funds to governmental entities, nonprofit organizations and Indian Tribes to enlarge, improve or construct schools, libraries, medical clinics, assisted living centers, public buildings, community centers and fund new and improved water and wastewater facilities. USDA Rural Development business and cooperative programs provide the needed capital to expand economic opportunities and development in rural areas throughout Texas by working with banks and community lenders. There is no minimum loan size and the maximum loan size is up to $25 million. USDA Rural Development was created in 1994 and with a mission to use our resources to help enhance the quality of life for the nation’s rural residents.

QUEEN-HAMLIN VFW POST 2467 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.

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!

SUBSCRIBE TO THE PALACIOS BEACON $30 A YEAR IN COUNTY • $40 A YEAR OUT-OF-COUNTY PORTS S Goliad takes it to Tidehaven, rolls 28-6 Page 8 - Palacios Beacon - Wed., October 7, 2015 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).

P.M.FRIDAY FRIDAY DEADLINE Beacon “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. Roll Tide Williams’ Tiger paw to the face... TIDEHAVEN tailback Jeff Williams (3) puts a paw to the facemask of Goliad’s Matthew Haney during last week’s 28-6 loss. In the loss, the sophomore Williams shined with 191-yards on 28 carries. Through the pre-district schedule, Williams is 2nd in District 13-3A DII in rushing yards with 528 yards.

Defensively, we played good but we couldn’t stop the big Out of thin air... THE Tigers had a stroke of good luck when the ball was separated from return man Jacob Galvan and flew into the air where Tidehaven’s Brandon Litzau reeled in the floating pig skin.

(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.
