From the Police Chief
By Police Chief David Miles
Last week I wrote
about the burglaries
that were going on. I
believe that we have
this problem under
control right now. If
there are any weekend
homes that you or a
friend has, be sure they
check them to make sure they are secure
and that they have not been broken
into. We know that several weekend
homes were broken into that were not
reported. I would like to file as much
as possible on this group, maybe the
will keep them a little longer.
2:59 p.m. at 300 block of Johnson Ave.;
possession of marijuana < 2oz.
INCIDENTS
• Theft- Officers dispatched to 800
block of Rorem Ave. at 11:00 a.m., March
31, in reference to a theft: African Grey
Parrot in white cage.

DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS® “CANpaign”
gets a new look, offers a ’litter’ reminder
You might think Don’t
mess with Texas® is just a
saying, but it’s way more. It’s
a call to action created by the
Texas Department of Trans-
portation 27 years ago to
stop litterers in their tracks.
TxDOT has announced the
state’s anti-litter campaign is
getting a makeover.
With a new look, Don’t
mess with Texas® is de-
signed to appeal to young
adults between the ages of
16 and 34 who were not born
when TxDOT first rolled out
its now world-famous litter
prevention program.
“Don’t mess with Texas®
is an iconic brand and cam-
paign that we want people
to be proud of and that helps
keep our state clean,” said
Ted Houghton, Chairman
of the Texas Transportation
Commission. “It’s our shared
responsibility to prevent lit-
tering and to pick up after
ourselves when traveling
around our great state.”
“We want to remind all
Texans and visitors that trash
belongs in a trash can and
not along our roadways,”
said Phil Wilson, TxDOT’s
executive director. “That’s
why trash barrels are playing
a key role in the re-launch
of Don’t mess with Texas®,

our state’s most critical and
successful anti-litter cam-
paign.”
An estimated 1.1 billion
pieces of trash are tossed
along more than 80,000 miles
of state-maintained road-
ways. In an effort to reduce
this growing volume of litter
that includes fast-food pack-
aging, cigarette butts, candy
wrappers, small pieces of
paper, plastic bags, and oth-
eritems tossed from vehicles,
TxDOT is taking Don’t mess
with Texas® back to its roots
byresurrecting the iconic red,
white, and blue trash barrels.
In the coming months, the
“CANpaign” will be vis-
ible to Texans everywhere as
more than 300 of these bar-
rels will appear across the
state at travel information
centers, popular tourist at-
tractions, sports venues and
other high-traffic locations
to remind drivers to properly
dispose of litter.
Texas is home to more than
25 million people, and an es-
timated 1,000 people move
into the state every day who
may not realize that littering
is against state law. Litterers
can be fined up to $500 for
the first offense. Repeat of-
fenders can face fines of up to
$2,000 and 180 days in jail.
“Not only is it our responsi-
bility to pick up our trash, but
doing so reduces the amount
TxDOT and taxpayers spend
on litter prevention efforts,”
added Wilson. “In fact, our
estimates show that these
programs are saving TxDOT
and taxpayers some $4.7 mil-
lion annually.”

mess with Texas® can be

texas.org. This website fea-
tures background on the cam-
paign, research information
about litter on Texas roads
and highways, and engaging

ness about the importance of
litter prevention.
West seeks re-election^
to PISD School Board
Position 3
[Mary West is a candidate
for Position 3 on the Pala-
cios ISD Board of Trustees
in the May 11th election. She
has authorized the Beacon
to publish the following paid
political advertisement.]
I am Mary West and I am
a candidate for re-election
for Palacios ISD Board of
Trustees Place 3.1 have lived
in Palacios for 35 years and
retired in 2007after having
taught 2nd grade for 29 years
at Central Elementary.
All three of my children
attended Palacios schools and
I presently have grandchildren
attending here.
I am running for re-election
for school board because I
know this district, its teachers,
support staff, administration
and its students. As a retired
PISD teacher, I have brought
an insider’s view to the board.
My experience in the
classroom and my experience
having served on the school
board for the last five years
is an asset to the board. I am
acutely aware of the demands
placed on the students to
achieve their best and be
successful.
I also know the demands
placed on our teachers and
their tireless efforts to educate
our children.
Providing the be st education
for our children is what it’s
all about. To do so requires
everyone to work together-
school board, administration,
teachers, staff, students, and
parents.
With my experience both
as a teacher, a parent and a
current board member I can
help ensure that our children
get the best education
possible.
I would appreciate your
vote in the Palacios ISD
election on Saturday, May 11.
