Election Day arrives in Guadalupe County; polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
TLU student-athletes killed in overnight crash Darren Dunn
(Seguin) — The Texas Lutheran University community is mourning the loss of two student-athletes killed in an offcampus vehicle accident early Monday morning in Seguin. University officials have identified the students as junior Ajean A.J, Augustine, 20, of Allen, and senior Deyreck Dean, 23, of Rockwall. According to the Seguin Police Department, officers responded to the single-vehicle
crash at approximately 2:38 a.m. Monday, Nov. 2, in the 1900 block of State Highway 46 North. Police say a 2012 Kia Sorento was traveling southbound on Highway 46 at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control. The vehicle crossed into the northbound lanes and struck a guardrail. Both occupants were pronounced dead at the scene. Crash, pg. 4
(Seguin) -- The day has finally arrived. After weeks of campaigning, early voting and discussions about the issues, Guadalupe County voterswill have their final opportunity Tuesday to make their voices heard in the Nov. 3 General Election. Polls will be open today from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters in Guadalupe County are able to cast their ballots at any of the county’s 38 voting locations. That’s because Guadalupe County uses a countywide vote center system. That means voters no matter where they live can vote at any polling location open in Guadalupe County. Voters are encouraged to review the Election Day polling locations before heading out. A complete list of the 38 voting centers can be found at
SeguinToday.com. or on the Guadalupe County Elections website. In Seguin City Council District 5, voters will choose between Chris Alvies and Forrest Fletcher. Seguin ISD voters will decide on Proposition A, a Voter-Approval Tax Ratification Election (VATRE). According to district officials, if approved, the proposal would provide additional maintenance and operations funding for the district to help recruit and retain qualified staff, support campus safety and security, and maintain student programs and general operations. In the Navarro ISD, voters will select four at-large school board trustees from a field of five candidates. They include Jared Gallini, Noah Webster, Election, pg. 4

“The talents and skills that I have really come down to: I have a very analytical brain. I love to deep-dive into issues, research, and things like that. And so I think that is very beneficial, especially with a lot of Kristen Green the things that come to the school board. So we get the agenda ahead of time. You’d have an opportunity to deepdive into those issues and make sure I’m making the right decisions.,” said Green.
I’ve been an educator for 20 years in public schools, or 22 years. And that plus the four years that I’ve been on the board and being on the board, it takes a while to figure out what you’re doing. And so, it’s kind of like when you get to the four-year, you’re just really learning what you’re doing. And Dan Reinhard so it takes a while to learn. And so Incumbent I already have that built-in knowledge from being an educator for so long. And then also being on the inside of the board meetings to see really what happens and what is important, “ said Reinhard.
“I’m willing to work with others. I can listen to other sides. I love hearing other perspectives and points of view to piggyback ideas off of each other. I think many of the candidates running right now, along with the current board, have the ability to work together to seek a resolution. And I think we all bring different perspectives,
our own backgrounds to the table that will allow us to do that. I’ve been attending the board meetings. I see how that team works together in managing not only their own actions, but how they work and represent Navarro externally. I have the ability to work well with others and to ask the questions and to get into it and to research and not just base things off of emotion. I’m not using this for a political gain to go anywhere else. My heart is here in this community and I want to give back to it,” said Forester.
“I spent the last 20 years as an infantry officer serving across the globe. The last eight of that, in particular, were spent redesigning the future of the Army. So what does the Army look like in 2040? How do you make organizational and structural decisions and resourcing those decisions over the Noah Webster next nearly two decades? I spent a lot of time reading policies, a lot of time reading budgets. Our local policy manual is long, 650,000 pages if you printed single-sided. We preserve papers, and we’ll print double-sided. But it’s mostly model language, and there’s real mismatches between what it says and what
the district actually does. That’s a problem. How can parents depend on transparent policy when the policies are in conflict themselves? Our enrollment doesn’t change. We’re still growing about seven students per day on average. These are the constraints we have to work within, and the board has to show up and figure solutions to that. I believe in supporting our teachers and keeping the clutter out of the classroom. We don’t need more policy. We need streamlined policy that is transparent and easily accessible to parents who are busy, who are working, moms and dads, who don’t have time to do that policy and what does it say? So I think those are the two biggest strengths that I bring to the candidates available: a clear understanding of policy and its long-term implications,” said Webster.
“For me personally, what I’m bringing is education mixed with real world experience, mixed with an understanding of the community in which I live in. I went to school, received a master’s in public administration. So, I studied a little bit of school administration. I understand public finance. From Jared Gallini there, I became a government contractor. I currently work for one of the big four
consultancies in the world where I work in the state, local, and higher education group. And that has put me in the room with many upper levels of administrators for the government. Previously, I was working with the federal government. And like I said, bringing that mix of education and real world expertise I think would be helpful, especially in this time of hyper growth. And then also with any type of growth, you see that your culture and traditions can slip away. And I would love to be the champion in the room, making sure that every decision we make is considering our culture, our traditions,” said Gallini.

Seguin City Council District 5 seat “I believe I’m the best choice because I bring practical experience. I’ve developed community relationships and have years of preparation for this responsibility. I also graduated from Seguin Citizens University, where I met the city department heads, learned about their responsibilities, Forrest Fletcher their processes, and how their teams operate. That helped me better understand the work behind the services that residents
depend on. I also bring more than 20 years of experience in HVAC and construction. The Nolte project, again, is a major investment project in the heart of District 5. And it’s an example of where my background can be useful. You know, I can stand on my principles while listening carefully, understanding another person’s perspective, and then working together towards common ground. And I’ll do my part to make information easier for residents to find and understand. I think people deserve to know what’s happening in their city and in their district,” said Fletcher.
“I’ve been in that seat before. I know the challenges: as I mentioned earlier, the infrastructure part, the budget part, which is a big part of it because that’s the taxpayer’s dollar, and then the actual aspect of the people. So the infrastructure, the budget, and the people. But largely, what I learned within those four Chris Aviles years in city council is the experience of already being there, the experience of being a public servant already not only as a city councilman but also
as a police officer in law enforcement, because I see people every day in my job. I saw people every day as a city councilman, and I see people every day now as a law enforcement representative and a member of the public. So I see the community’s needs firsthand. So I not only do that. I understand those needs, but when people talk to me and bring up those concerns, I can relate to them because now that I live in District 5 and I see some of the roads, particularly the road in front of my house, I can relate. So, my experience in service –– Of course, I’m a veteran as well. I’ve served our nation, so I bring maturity. I bring experience,” said Aviles.
Texas House District 44, State “I think that would boil down, for me, to my community involvement and my commitment to statesmanship, which is community service, not political games, not serving a party, definitely not serving some obscure agenda of people who are donating money to me. I have mentioned before that I encourage people to Eric Norman look at campaign finance reports and see where the money is coming from that’s going to our elected officials. For me, it’s community service. That’s the root of why I got involved in politics and my connection to what’s happening: talking to people and seeing what
they’re dealing with. I feel like my platform is rooted in reality. I think undecided people who haven’t cast their ballot yet should look at our platforms, see our priorities, and ask themselves which candidate addresses them most realistically. I think it’s a disservice to all of us, to all voters and just citizens and participants in this community, to vote straight party line just because. I think parties will start to take advantage of that if they realize that voters aren’t going to hold them accountable. And I think Alan Schoolcroft had the opportunity to get active and get involved locally, but a lot of people haven’t seen him around. And I am proud that even before I got into politics, I was already active in volunteering and community service. So that will continue for sure,” said. Norman.
Guadalupe County and Gonzales County are fundamentally conservative. The people there have very conservative values. There’s no question I’m able to represent both values. The Democratic Party and
my opponent have a very, very different agenda from what the people of Guadalupe County want. So there’s just no comparison between the two, and as long as they understand what it is that my opponent wants to do versus what I wanna do, I have no question that I’ll be fine.

Consuelo “Connie” Haines, age 84 of Seguin, went to be with the Lord, on October 29, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Connie was born in Westbrook, Texas, on October 6, 1942, to Juanita (Gonzales), and Alcario Garcia. Wherever Connie went, she carried the good news of the Lord with her, sharing it with strangers, friends, neighbors, and her own family. Her love for the Lord was abundantly evident, flowing from her onto all those blessed enough to know her. She was a light in this world, and her faith was a beautiful reflection of His love. She was truly beautiful, but as Proverbs 31:30 reminds us, beauty is fleeting, while a woman who fears the Lord is worthy of praise. We find comfort in knowing she is now rejoicing in the presence of our Almighty, loving Father. Connie is preceded in death by her loving husband, Harold D. Haines,

Caregiving Cost Surging (Washington, DC) -- A new study shows family caregivers are paying over eleven-thousand dollars a year out of pocket to care for a loved one, taking up nearly a third of their household income. The study, released by AARP, says that’s nearly a third of many household incomes. People who earn less than 40-thousand-dollars annually spent an average of 76-percent of their income. Household and housing expenses take up most of the spending, averaging about five-thousand a year. Medical expenses average over three-thousand dollars annually and include copays, insurance premiums, prescription drugs, medical equipment and payments to hospitals and other healthcare providers. New Autism Study Complicates Trump Admin’s Search For Cause (New York, NY) -- A new autism study complicates the Trump administration’s search for the causes of autism. Researchers at NYU and Kaiser Permanente Medical Schools found that four out of 25 maternal health conditions: obesity, depression, asthma and other maternal diseases complicating pregnancy had a higher link with autism diagnoses in white mothers. Researchers acknowledged that differences in access to care, insurance continuity, clinical follow-up and treatment patterns could have affected their observations. The study also took into account the history of underdiagnosis among certain groups. Study: Young Adults Use AI Chatbots To Seek Drug Advice (New Brunswick, NJ) -- A new report shows about a third of young adults have turned to AI chatbots for drug and alcohol advice. Researchers reported over 32-percent of people 18 to 29 said they used ChatGPT and other AI bots to find information on substance use. Questions focused on information for risks and consequences. The study’s lead researcher from the Rutgers Institute for Health said that using these tools can lead to misinformed and otherwise risky substance-use behavior among young people. The study found that about half of the young adults who used AI for substance use information did so on at least a monthly basis. Nearly 6M Coffee Makers Recalled Over Burn Risk (Washington, DC) -- The Consumer Product Safety Commission said nearly six million coffee makers are being recalled due to burn risk. The recall affects nearly six million Bodum french press coffee makers with eight-cup and 12-cup replaceable glass carafes. The CPSC said the carafe can unexpectedly break during use if the glass is damaged or cracked, including if a metal spoon is used to stir the coffee. The CPSCD said the Bodum name appears on the frame and inner lid of most models and is engraved on the glass carafes. Bodum USA, which issued the recall on October 29th, has received 70 reports of carafes breaking during use, 48 of which included reports of burns to consumers.
