(Seguin) -- For Jennifer Allen, owning a local pizzeria is about more than just serving up good pizza. It is also about finding ways to help the people and organizations right here in Seguin. That commitment of making her community better has earned The Brick Seguin a $2,000 award through the Great Pizza Give Back contest sponsored by Hillshire Farm and Tyson. The Brick was one of 10 businesses selected nationally to receive the annual award given to pizza businesses that help make a difference. Allen says the recognition
was a total surprise, especially since The Brick is a small local operation. “I’m not a multi-million dollar company, so I’m limited on what I can give back, but I try to give back as much as we can. And so I really was not expecting it. It was more like a practice for me to think about what it is that we are trying to do with the community. So it was a big surprise for us and we were really excited for that,” said Allen. Helping her earn the recognition is a growing list of ways that the local pizza place supports others. Brick, pg. 3

Manufacture Month recognized by Guadalupe County Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Guadalupe County is recognizing the manufacturers in this community. County officials made sure that the month of October did not disappear without the observance of National Manufacturing Month. Alora Wachholz, executive director of the Seguin Economic Development Corporation, along with her team and Seguin City Manager Steve Parker joined in on the recognition during a recent meeting of the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court. Wachholz says the month of October provided an opportunity to recognize the products made in Seguin and the people behind them. “It’s a chance for us also to recognize the quality products that are being made right down the street and for us to recognize the people that we call neighbors -- who are driving ahead innovation in manufacturing through their skills and talents every day and often throughout the night,” said Wachholz. Wachholz also thanked county commissioners for their role in helping attract businesses to the area and supporting the continued success of existing employers. “And because economic development is a team
sport, I want to thank each of you commissioners for your important role in bringing in new business to the region and for investing in their continued success,” said Wachholz. According to a county proclamation, manufacturing remains an important part of Guadalupe County’s economic landscape, with local industries producing a range of goods, including automotive machinery, food and beverages, plastics and rubber products, fabricated metal products and medical equipment. Wachholz says recognizing National Manufacturing Month sends a message about the region’s commitment to supporting opportunities for future growth. “Acknowledging October as National Manufacturing Month is a statement to the world that we’re here in Guadalupe County. We’re proud of our industry and that we’re going to continue to work together to make this region the best place for manufacturing and investment in the state of Texas,” said Wachholz. The county proclamation also highlights the importance of connecting residents and students with local manufacturing careers, including opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

County facilities participating in the effort include the historic Guadalupe County Courthouse, Veterans Outreach Center, Elections Administration Office, Development Center and Schertz Service Center. Residents and local businesses are also encouraged to join the effort by displaying a green light on their porches or at their places of business during the weeklong observance. County officials say the effort also highlights the importance of making sure veterans have access to the services and benefits they have earned through their military service. In 2025, a total of 21,352 Guadalupe County veterans accessed Veterans Administration benefits and resources, including compensation, pensions, education and vocational rehabilitation services. Those programs they say help veterans and their families secure housing, pursue higher education, launch

So a few months ago, we started with a Give Back Tuesday where we opened it up to any local nonprofits and school groups that are looking to try to raise a little extra money and put awareness on their specific either team or their group. And so that’s one of the big initiatives that we’ve tried taking on the last few months, but also just giving other support. Beyond 22 is something that’s near and dear to our hearts. We have two employees that are

County officials are also encouraging residents to attend local Veterans Day events and take time to recognize veterans and their families for their service and sacrifices. The Veterans Outreach Center will continue the celebration with a free Chili Pachanga Cook-off on Thursday, Nov. 12, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at 205 E. Weinert St. in Seguin. The event will feature veterans and first responders competing with their favorite chili recipes. Twelve agencies will be offering free samples, and attendees will have the opportunity to vote for the Chili Pachanga prize winner. The observance of Veterans Day will also continue throughout the community with the annual Veterans Day Ceremony slated for Nov. 11.

And then also something that’s near and dear to us is we’re all animal lovers. And so Seguin Snip Squad is another big one that we love to support,” said Allen. As for the $2,000, Allen says she plans to reinvest it back into the community. The Brick Seguin encourages local nonprofits interested in being supported to contact the business to discuss possible opportunities such as participation in its Give Back Tuesday. The Brick Seguin is located at 736 E. Kingsbury St.

A man of family and faith, Burton was a devoted Christian. He and Pat were active members of Cross Church in Seguin, Texas.

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,

NY Sees First Measles Death In 30+ Years (Albany, NY) -- New York is reporting its first measles death in more than three decades. Health Department officials say the victim was a child in Lewis County, northeast of Syracuse. Officials say there have been 178 measles cases in New York this year. Reports have suggested the case may come from Amish or Mennonite groups. There are large numbers of both in Lewis County. Common Pesticide Linked To Increased Risk Of Parkinson’s (Los Angeles, CA) -- A common pesticide is being blamed for an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. Researchers at UCLA studied chlorpyrifos and found long term exposure resulted in a two and half times higher chance of someone developing Parkinson’s disease. Experiments also show the pesticide interferes with the brain’s ability to remove damaged proteins. Chlorpyrifos was banned for residential use in 2001 but is still used in agriculture. Potential Choking Hazard (Bethesda, MD) -- Once Upon a Farm is recalling all flavors of its Tractor Wheels Organic soft-baked bars due to a potential choking hazard. The FDA says the product “forms a dry, sticky mass” when chewed that becomes difficult to dislodge doing “back blows and the Heimlich maneuver.” The organic baby food company says they will reformulate the product, and are working with the FDA to notify families and “make sure affected products are removed” from stores. A full list of states and territories impacted by the recall can be found on the Once Upon a Farm recall page. Avocado And Mango Help With Heart Health (Chicago, IL) -- A new study shows eating Avocado and Mango can help with heart health. The study done at Illinois Institute of Technology shows having an avocado and a cup of mango every day for eight weeks improved blood vessel function and blood pressure without seeing weight gain. Researchers did an experiment involving people who ate the two foods for eight weeks compared to another group that was on a similar diet but without those foods. One of the lead researchers says this reinforces the power of food-first strategies to help reduce cardiovascular disease risk.
