City needs public's help to ensure City of Seguin announces first positive COVID-19 case parks remain open Guadalupe County virus cases hit double digits

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(Seguin) -- The city of Seguin is pleading for the community to practice social distancing and adhere to the Texas Governor and the Mayor Don Keil's order to limit social gatherings of 10 people or less when visiting the city's parks.

“We can't understate the severity of COVID-19. People of all ages, regardless if they are healthy or have underlying medical conditions, are becoming ill,” said Jennifer Sourdellia, the city's public information officer. “If you are sick, please stay at home, rather than venture out to our parks. We must have our residents' help during this critical time to slow the spread in our community.” Sourdellia says if social distancing is not taken seriously, the city will be left with no alternative but to close the parks entirely.

The City’s parks and trails are open, but citizens are expected to again practice social distancing and have no more than 10 people in a group. Restrooms, ball fields,

playgrounds, and basketball courts at all park facilities are closed until further notice, including the splash pad at Park West. Also all city parks will be closed Easter weekend April 10-12.

The council last week also approved an emergency ordinance that placed further restrictions on some businesses and places where people might gather. The emergency ordinance requires that all bars, restaurant dining rooms, gyms, movie theatres, bowling alleys, nail and hair salons, tattoo parlors, game rooms and other indoor and outdoor amusement facilities must close to the public immediately. According to city leaders, the emergency ordinance does have some teeth, and people who violate the ordinance could face some large fines.The city is currently not under a shelter in place ordinance.

Mayor Keil says they want citizens to continue to practice their own protective measures by staying home when they can, to observe proper social distancing wherever they go, and to wash their hands frequently.

(Guadalupe County) — As of today, Guadalupe County is reporting 13 positive cases of COVID-19, and one of the positive test results is that of a resident who lives in Seguin. The patient is selfquarantined at home and is being monitored by the Texas Department of Health Services (TDHS). At this time, officials this is all the information that has been given to them, but will share more information as it becomes available from TDHS. The positive test result was confirmed on Sunday to both the Guadalupe County Office of Emergency Management and the City of Seguin Emergency Management Coordinator by the Texas Department of Health Services.

As testing becomes more available, the City of Seguin and Guadalupe County expects to see an increase in positive tests throughout the city and county. Officials say the city and county remain committed to monitoring the COVID-19 situation actively and will make decisions that keep the citizens of Seguin and Guadalupe County safe.

To help prevent the spread of COVID19, residents are urged to follow these guidelines: • Continue to practice social distancing by keeping six (6) feet apart and avoiding gathering of more than ten (10) people • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcoholbased hand sanitizer.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Stay home when you are sick.

• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue,

then wash your hands.

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Minimizing exposure is especially important for people who are 65 or older or who have an underlying health condition like heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or cancer.

People in those groups have a higher risk of developing severe disease if they do get COVID-19, and the safest thing for them during an outbreak will be to stay home as much as possible and minimize close contact with other people. To get ready, they should talk to their doctor about getting additional prescription medications and have enough household items and groceries on hand to stay home as needed. The positive test result was confirmed on Sunday to both the Guadalupe County Office of Emergency Management and the City of Seguin Emergency Management Coordinator by the Texas Department of Health Services. All three patients are at home and have been self-quarantined since being tested.

Mike McBride, Ivy Koehler-Meehan honored with Texas Associated Press award FIRST PLACE, continued from page 1 people to not be too much of a homer, but I also want them “This just confirms what we already knew. Mike McBride is one of the best play-by-play people I’ve ever encountered.

He is a terrific talent. He’s a real professional, and it shows in every broadcast. He and Ivy have become a terrific team. You love listening to those games on Friday nights. You know they’re going to paint a wonderful picture for you of the action that’s actually taking place on the field. You can see that in your mind’s eye, and it’s because they do such a great job. And they do it in a very professional way. I can’t stress that enough. I’m a little bit of a play by play snob. I want my

to recognize who their listeners are and why people are tuned into the broadcast. Mike and Ivy do that every Friday night here on KWED. I’m so glad the Associated Press agrees that they are the best in the state,” said Dunn.

The first place award was slated to be presented at the AP’s ceremony next month, but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. AP announced McBride and KoehlerMeehan as finalists for the award earlier this month, and announced on Thursday that the pair had won the top playby-play award.

Seguin ISD meal program changes effective today

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- In an effort to efficiently provide free student meals and minimize the potential for exposure, the Seguin ISD is announcing a few changes to its campus and bus delivery Grab & Go meal program.

Beginning today, March 30, breakfast will be served with lunch each day during the lunch meal service from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. With this change, district officials say they will be removing the breakfast service time of 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. They will instead be serving two meals (one breakfast one lunch) during its lunch meal service from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. District officials say this

latest change is an extra effort to help reduce parent, student and staff risk of exposure by interacting once per day.

Also beginning Friday, April 3, the Seguin ISD will serve meals for Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays during the district's Friday lunch meal service. District officials say this change will essentially remove the Saturday meal service. It will also remove the Saturday meal service. Officials say they provide six meals on Fridays during lunch meal service (three breakfasts and three lunches) to cover student meals for Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Campus locations are Ball Early Childhood Center, Jefferson, Koennecke, McQueeney, Patlan and Rodriguez elementaries, plus Seguin High School.

Seguin ISD officials say the campus and bus delivery Grab & Go meal locations will not change.

Those efforts will continue as scheduled.

Those bus delivery locations in the Seguin ISD include: • 1055 E US 90 (Kingsbury Post Office) • 200 block of Country Acres (at mailboxes) • 100 block of Parkcreek at Creekway (in Parkcreek) • 146 Sandy Oaks Dr. (VFD) • FM 725 & Grove Ln. (McQueeney) • 275 Gallagher Rd. (VFW building in McQueeney Estates) • 8251 FM 1117 (Forest Hills Baptist Church) • 9071 FM 467 (Olmos Store) District officials say that each week, more and more families are taking advantage of the food service program and look forward to serving even more these coming weeks.

We're Going on a Bear Hunt hunt in Seguin.

Based on a children's book by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury called " We're Going On A Bear Hunt," families can drive or walk around Seguin to hunt for stuffed bears in the windows of local businesses and homes. Some bears are even enjoying rides through town on fire trucks and in other vehicles.

Special Kyle Kramm, Main Street and CVB director (Seguin) -- Are your little ones getting anxious and tired of being cooped up in the house? Take them out for a bear

Bear sightings first started in downtown, but now they are being spotted all over town. You might spot them in downtown businesses like Funky Monkey Vintage Venue, You're So Crafty, Gift And Gourmet, 1916 Bar & Bistro at the Aumont, Seguin Visitor Center, Edward Jones - Financial Advisor: Kristy Kirkland, The Shop at

Design Associates, Keepers Interiors & Furniture, Sandcastle Home Decor, Barking Lot Treats, The Meservey Group, and D6 Promos. Outside of downtown, they are being spotted at KWED, Edward Jones - Financial Advisor: Kathy Nossamann, fire stations and residences all over town.

All businesses and residents are invited to participate by hosting a bear or hunting for bears. Just place a bear in your window and post a photo on the Facebook event under the Visit Seguin Facebook page. If you are out hunting, take photos of the bears you spot and of your family on the hunt to the Facebook event as well.

Have fun making lots of memories and remember to keep your social

A look at the area's spring sports teams before the UIL coronavirus suspension:Navarro softball (Geronimo) - With the University Interschollastic League (UIL) suspending the spring schedules of the state's high school athletic programs until at least May 4 due to the , we take a look back at the interrupted seasons for some of the teams in the Seguin area and Guadalupe County.

The third instalment in the series focuses on the Navarro High School softball team.

The Panthers came into the season with high hopes after the deepest playoff run in school history last year.

The Navarro softball team had just defeated Gonzales 14-12 and was gearing up for a first-place showdown with district rival La Vernia when the UIL suspended spring competition earlier this month. Photo courtesy of Navarro Softball Facebook page.

The defending 4A Region IV finalists spent the first few weeks developing chemistry with a mix of players who went through pre-season practice and multi-sport athletes who were part of the basketball team's run to the regional quarterfinals.

Navarro softball before UIL coronavirus suspension runs. Wegman led the lineup with eight doubles, while Sturm, Howard, and Stevens each had seven.

Kassidy Bishop (.455), Stevens (.444), Tabares (.429), Tatum Harborth (.375), Berklee Andrews (.368), and Taetem Fox (.308) were regulars batting better than .300 as well.

Wegman was the workhorse of the pitching staff with a teamhigh 54-1/3 innings of work.

Over the course of those frames, she struck out 44 batters and compiled a 4.67 ERA.

As a team, the Panthers swiped 49 bases in 53 attempts over the first 15 ballgames.

Navarro had games remaining against La Vernia and Cuero on the first round of the district schedule and a non-district matchup with San AntonioAntonian Prep before the second half of the 30-4A slate began.

In addition to Sturm, Melina Tabares was stringing together a strong season in that department, stealing nine bases without being caught.

La Vernia appeared to be the Panthers' most formidable challenger for the district title.

The Bears were 15-2-1 overall, 3-0 in district play.

Howard was the RBI leader with 20 driven in. She and Sydni Stevens each hit three home runs, and Ortiz launched the ball out of the park twice.

NAVARRO, continued from page 4

Darrell Harborth is Navarro's head coach in girls basketball and softball, so his assistant Morgan Cavazos assumed the softball reins while the two seasons overlapped.

Navarro's overall record was 86-1 when the UIL pulled the plug on spring activities, but the Panthers were gaining momentum with a five-game winning streak and a 4-0 start to the District 30-4A schedule.

The offense was productive up and down the lineup, averaging 7.2 runs per game while posting a team batting average of .417, 39 doubles, five triples, and nine home runs.

Four regulars were hitting better than .500. That list includes Lalyn Sturm (.586), Haleigh Ortiz (.560), Samantha Wegman (.538), and Sarah Howard (.512).

Sturm owned a team-best .624 on-base percentage and led an aggressive base-running team with 11 stolen bases.

Trump Aiming For Country Re-opening By Easter

Coronavirus Cases Near 55,000 In U.S.

(Washington, DC) -- President Trump is hoping to see the nation re-open by Easter. During a White House briefing, Trump noted the April 12th holiday is special to him and many other Americans. He argued it would be great for the country and his administration is working hard to make it a reality. However, a member of his coronavirus task force was being more cautious. Dr. Anthony Fauci [[ FOW-chee ]] said that date "is very flexible" and they still need to look at data they haven't seen before.

(Undated) -- The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus continues to skyrocket in the U.S. That number was nearing 55-thousand as of Tuesday night. The death toll from the respiratory illness was also getting close to 800. New York, New Jersey, California and Washington state remain to be the biggest hot spots in the nation. New York has more than 26-thousand cases and over 270 deaths alone.

Trump Pushing For Passage Of Coronavirus Stimulus Package (Washington, DC) -- President Trump is pushing for the passage of a massive coronavirus stimulus package. During a White House briefing, Trump said his administration is working with Congress to pass the "biggest and boldest financial relief package in American history." He noted the bill is worth roughly two-trillion dollars and will provide direct cash payments to "struggling Americans."

Trump said people are in a tough spot to "no fault of their own."

WHO Warns U.S. Could Be Next Coronavirus Epicenter (Undated) -- The World Health Organization is warning that the U.S. could become the next epicenter for COVID-19. More than a third of the coronavirus cases confirmed across the planet are here in the states. On Monday, the U.S. reported one-hundred deaths due to the virus in a single day.

WHO spokesperson Margaret Harris says the outbreak in the U.S. is only intensifying. The warning comes the same day President Trump said he would consider relaxing social distancing guidelines in an effort to get Americans back to work and restart the economy.
