Navarro salutes Sunrise Rotary successful to host inaugural Millions & Mistletoe band program despite not Casino Night coming home with the title Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- The Seguin Sunrise Rotary Club is promising a night of food, fun and entertainment, all while raising money for some good causes in the community. The club is hosting its inaugural Millions & Mistletoe fundraiser Saturday night at the Big Red Barn on Cordova Road. Rotarian Dennis Clarkson says the event will feature plenty of entertainment, along with opportunities for guests to walk away with some
great prizes. “I think people are going to be able to come to this event (and have a good time). There’ll be a live auction. There’ll be a silent auction. Of course, there’s great food. There’s also great music. But they’ll be able to come, and I think bid on stuff that they can take and use as their Christmas presents or whatever it might be,” said Clarkson. Rotary, pg. 3
(Geronimo) - The marching band season has officially come to an end for the Navarro Panthers. The band was not among those who advanced to finals during Wednesday’s UIL State Marching Band Contest held at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Navarro ISD Superintendent Mandy Epley says although they did not move on for a chance at the state title, the band remains top in the state. “The Navarro Panther Band had a great performance today and we are incredibly proud of the growth they experienced this season. While we did not advance to finals, they performed a beautiful show. They placed 23rd of 28. Top 23 in state for 4A is a great accomplishment! Great things are happening in Navarro ISD!” said Epley. The band is under the direction of Jason Adam. See photos on page 4.

A first look at ‘Will’s War’: Preview planned before 2027 debut Community invited to sit in for a bit of Seguin’s history this Sunday Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- A piece of Seguin’s history is preparing to return to the stage this weekend, providing a new generation of residents a sneak peak into a future and fully revamped theater production. Will’s War, a historical production based on the book by local author Janice Woods Windle, is making its way back to Seguin nearly a decade after its original stage reading in 2018. The full production is scheduled to open Jan. 28, 2027, at Texas Lutheran University’s Studio Theater. However before the production officially opens next year, residents will have an opportunity to get a preview during a special fundraising dinner and sneak-peek event this Sunday evening at the Texas Theatre. Written by William Wayne Windle, the play tells the true
story of his great-grandfather, Will Bergfeld, a Seguin native whose life was dramatically changed by the anti-German sentiment surrounding World War I. Set in 1917, the story follows Bergfeld, a German-American and union sympathizer who is falsely accused of treason and involvement in a plot to assassinate President Woodrow Wilson. His story unfolds during a time when GermanAmerican families across Texas and the country faced growing suspicion, discrimination and pressure to prove their loyalty. For Windle, the production is about more than bringing a historical story to the stage. It is also about preserving a part of Seguin’s history that many newer residents may not know. “The main characters of the play,
Will and Virginia Bergfeld, they are Seguinites, born and raised,” said Windle. Their daughter, Virginia Bergfeld Woods, also left her mark on the community as one of the founding members of the Seguin Conservation Society, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. The return of the play also coincides with several milestones for the Windle family, including 10 years since William Wayne Windle first began writing it and 10 years since its first stage reading at the Texas Theatre. The original workshop for the play was in 2018 and was directed by Emmy-winning director Karen Arthur. Arthur, known for directing the CBS Mini Series True Women, starring Angelina Jolie, remains involved with this project. Debut, pg. 3

Rotary, continued. Tickets and tables are still available for Saturday’s event. Clarkson says the cost of attending is taxdeductible. “Individual tickets are $80. Now remember, that is a donation. Everything that you do with this, because it is the Seguin Sunrise Rotary Scholarship Foundation, and it’s a 501c3 (non-profit charity). So, all the money that you’re giving to this, you can deduct,” said Clarkson. The money raised will support the Sunrise Rotary Club’s scholarship program, as well as the Thriving Hearts Crisis Center in Seguin. Rotarian Xavier Norton says the event offers people a chance to have a great time while also supporting two very important causes. “We really want to bring together the community to support our two different groups. We raise scholarships for students in Seguin and Navarro, and then also Thriving Hearts Crisis Center as well. So, it’s a beautiful night for two wonderful causes,” said Norton. Clarkson says the club’s scholarship program is a little different from most. Instead of waiting until students are ready to graduate, he says the club begins investing in them when they’re just freshmen in high school.
“We’re going to actually take them, and put their money in Edwards Jones (Investments). It’s going to grow over the next three years along with other donations. And then if they’ve stayed a legitimate student and they graduate, then they’re going to get that money. It used to be that it had to go to a university, and it had to go to that. Well, now you’ve got trade schools and you’ve got other things. So now, they’re able to use that money for whatever they need to use it for to continue on doing what they do,” said Clarkson. In addition to the night’s entertainment, Norton says guests will also have an opportunity to bid on several auction items. “I know we’ve gotten a lot of great feedback around some of our auction items. This year they’re being curated specifically for like gift giving. Full baskets, full on prizes that you can not only have it go to a charitable cause, but to have a really great gift to give during this time of year as well. That’s going to be something to look forward to. And there’s very, very limited items and very curated items that we’re having brought in for this event,”said Norton. The inaugural Millions & Mistletoe fundraiser runs from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Saturday at the Big Red Barn on Cordova Road. Tickets are available from members of the Seguin Sunrise Rotary Club. They can also be purchased online through a link on the club’s Facebook page.
Debut, continued. Windle says the new production “has been substantially reworked, giving audiences a different experience from the one presented nearly a decade ago.” “Everybody who saw it in 2018 is not going to recognize it,” said Windle . “And we also have local people coming out in droves. They’re treating this very much like it is their own.” This Sunday’s evening will include a presentation explaining the history behind the play and its significance, followed by a heritageinspired dinner featuring homemade brisket and chile con queso prepared by Mary Jane Windle. Guests will also get to see two scenes performed by actors who will be part of next year’s production. For the sneak peek dinner, actress Aislinn Evans, known for her work in Mafia Spies and Black Dagger Brotherhood, is being flown in from Los Angeles to portray Anna Bennett. This weekend’s fundraising effort will help support the production as it moves toward its January opening. Organizers are also planning different

donation levels with special benefits, as well as three master classes. Windle also expects Broadway investors to be represented at the upcoming event, with Tony Award-winning Broadway producers expected to attend the January production. After years of work, Windle says seeing the Seguin community embrace the project has been especially meaningful. He hopes residents recognize that while the story may eventually reach audiences beyond the area, its roots will always be here. “This is something Seguin can call its own,” said Windle. “My ultimate goal with this piece is for it to play in large theaters across the nation. Ultimately, I’d love for it to be
adapted into a long-from television series as there is so much source material to pull from and I believe this particular story will remain relevant for many years to come.” The full production of Will’s War opens Jan. 28, 2027, at Texas Lutheran University’s Studio Theater. Organizers are also planning a separate kickoff celebration in January, with details to be announced. Tickets are $75 a person. The event will be held at 6 p.m. Sunday at The Texas Theatre. Residents interested in attending Sunday’s dinner and sneak-peek event can find ticket information at Will’s War Dinner and Sneak Peek Evening available HERE.

her willingness to stand firmly in her beliefs, and her desire to contribute to the causes she considered meaningful. Whether through her faith, her heritage, or her community involvement, Rebecca approached the things that mattered to her with conviction and wholehearted dedication. Above all, Rebecca’s greatest legacy is found in the love she shared and the relationships she held dear. She understood that the true measure of a life is not found in the passing of years, but in the memories created, the lives touched, and the love that remains long after a final farewell. Rebecca leaves behind her beloved husband, Don Slocum, and her father-in-law, Karel Clettenberg I, who, along with those fortunate enough to have known her, will continue to cherish her memory. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Karel Clettenberg III, whose memory remained an enduring and treasured part of her heart. Though separated by death, the bond between a mother and her child is one that time can never diminish. As family and friends reflect upon Rebecca’s life, may they find comfort in the moments shared, the laughter remembered, and the faith that sustained her. While her earthly journey has come to an end, the love she gave and the memories she leaves behind will continue to live in the hearts of those who loved her. May she now find eternal peace in the presence of her Lord and Savior, where earthly sorrow gives way to everlasting joy, and where the promise of a heavenly reunion brings comfort to those she leaves behind. A Celebration of Rebecca’s Life will be held on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at the Seguin Silver Center from 12:00 p.m. to 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Guadalupe Regional Hospice Services, 1215 E.

Rebecca Ruth Broughton passed away peacefully on October 14, 2026, in Seguin, Texas, surrounded by the love and comfort of those she held most dear. Born on July 10, 1961, in Shreveport, Louisiana, Rebecca lived a life rooted in unwavering faith, deeply held convictions, and a genuine love for the people and communities that shaped her journey. Her passing leaves a profound absence in the hearts of those who knew her, yet her memory remains a lasting testament to a life lived with purpose, strength, and devotion. A woman of steadfast Christian faith, Rebecca placed her trust in the Lord and allowed her beliefs to guide her throughout life’s many seasons. Her faith was more than a cherished part of her life; it was the foundation upon which she built her values, nurtured her relationships, and faced both life’s blessings and its challenges. She carried her convictions with sincerity and remained devoted to the principles she held close to her heart. Rebecca possessed a spirited personality and found happiness in life’s simple pleasures. She especially enjoyed shopping, never passing up the opportunity to discover a good sale at Funky Monkey or spend time exploring the treasures and lively atmosphere of local trade days. These outings were more than favorite pastimes; they reflected her appreciation for life’s little joys, her enthusiasm for a good find, and the pleasure she took in connecting with others. Proud of her Cherokee heritage, Rebecca cherished her citizenship in the Cherokee Nation and the rich history and traditions it represented. She was equally passionate about her involvement in the community, serving as an active and dedicated member of the Guadalupe County Republican Party. Her participation reflected her strong sense of civic responsibility,

Study Suggests Daylight Could Help Lower Chances Of Dementia (Undated) -- A new study finds people who are exposed to more light during the day could have a lower risk of developing dementia later in life. The research, published in General Psychiatry, does not prove that sunlight itself stops or prevents the disease from happening. Nearly 90-thousand people participated in the study and all were free of diagnosed dementia when they entered. Because dementia currently has no cure, researchers have continued to investigate possible protective factors and habits that could help reduce the risk of developing it. Rare Amoeba Could Be Connected To Tap Water (Baton Rouge, LA) -- A rare waterborne amoeba [[ uh-MEE-buh ]] is raising concerns about using tap water to clean contact lenses or rinse sinuses. The Louisiana State Health Depart is reporting ten confirmed Acanthamoeba [[ ah-KAN-thuh-MEE-buh ]] infections in Louisiana since 2024. That’s a spike for a state that typically sees just one or two a year. One person died after developing a brain infection and five others were blinded. While drinking tap water is safe, doctors are warning never to use unboiled tap water to rinse contact lenses or clear sinuses. Health Experts Give Tips On Better Sleep For Women (New York, NY) -- Health experts are highlighting the important role nutrition plays for women when it comes to getting better sleep. In a letter to patients, doctors at Mount Sinai hospital in New York emphasize some key nutrients that are a factor in the physiologic processes that influence mood and sleep. They include magnesium, protein and complex carbohydrates and a balanced dinner at least three hours before bedtime. Mount Sinai doctors suggest women limit alcohol consumption after dinner, late night snacking and hydrating but not too close to bedtime. Too Much Protein Has Some Negative Health Impacts (Undated) -- There’s been lots of studies over the years highlighting the benefits of protein, but new research shows less of it may help in some ways. New findings published in the journal Cell Press Blue show less protein may help some slow biological aging, improve metabolism and extend lifespan. This is after researchers reviewed 350 studies on the matter. One of the lead researchers says while it’s clear there are benefits to muscle growth, many people are likely consuming more protein than they actually need, which probably has negative health consequences.
