Early voting now underway
Elections administrator reminds voters of a few changes
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Early voting is underway for the next two weeks throughout Guadalupe County, and for the first time, ballots can also be cast at the county’s brand-new Elections Office on State Highway 123.
The newly opened facility at 3251 N. State Highway 123 is now the official site for both early voting and Election Day voting.
Guadalupe County Elections Administrator Lisa Hayes says she wants voters to take note of the change to avoid any confusion.
“We have our new elections office. We have moved. We are over at 3251 N. State Highway 123 so there will be early voting and election day voting here. There will not be any early voting or election day voting at the old office. Another department has
moved in there. So, they will not be having voting there,” said Hayes.
In addition to the new Elections Office location in Seguin, seven other early voting sites are open across the county, including Texas State Technical College in New Braunfels, Christ Lutheran Church in Seguin, the Seguin ISD Administration Building, Cibolo Fire Station #2, Redemptive Grace Ministries in New Braunfels, the Elections Office Annex in Schertz and Marion ISD’s Tondre Room.
The November 4 election includes 17 constitutional amendments on every ballot. Hayes says depending on where they live, voters may also see local races such as cities, schools and water districts.

Guadalupe County recognizes the importance of its manufacturing community
(Guadalupe County) -- Recognized as a regional powerhouse in manufacturing, Guadalupe County has officially proclaimed October as National Manufacturing Month 2025.
The proclamation, approved Tuesday by the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court, brought together economic development officials and representatives from major manufacturers across Seguin, Schertz, Cibolo, New Braunfels and surrounding communities.
Thanking commissioners for their support was Josh Schneuker, executive director of the Seguin Economic Development Corporation.
“I want to take a moment to thank the county for its ongoing support and partnership in fostering economic growth. You have all created an environment where manufacturers can grow, innovate and succeed. We want to thank the commissioners court for recognizing the importance of manufacturing month and for your continued support of the businesses that make Guadalupe County one of the leading manufacturing regions in the state,” said Schneuker.
Schneuker says companies are not only thriving but are choosing to reinvest in Guadalupe County.
“Manufacturing continues to serve as the foundation of our local economy and the driving force behind our region’s success. Today, more than 9,800 people are employed in manufacturing across Guadalupe County. When you look at the broader San Antonio metropolitan area, Guadalupe County alone accounts for 15 percent of all manufacturing jobs within the region – a powerful reflection of the role our local manufacturers play in driving regional economic growth and innovation.

20th annual Pecan Fest to feature Seguin’s showcase of small businesses plus big flavor
(Seguin) -- Over the past two decades, Pecan Fest has grown into a can’t-miss event for local and regional makers and food vendors, and with more than 140 artisan booths and 18 food vendors, Central Park will be the place to experience it all on Saturday, October 25.
Among this year’s vendors and event sponsors is Guadalupe Trading Co., a local success story that began at Pecan Fest just over six years ago. Owned and operated by Nick and Katy Rozell, the business has grown from a family woodworking booth into Seguin’s hometown general store and gift shop. Now located at the corner of Highway 46 and Court Street, the shop proudly showcases the work of more than 60 local makers, bakers, and small-batch producers.
“Guadalupe Trading Co. actually began with our family woodworking business, I SAW the SIGN,” said Katy Rozell. “In those early days, we were just testing the waters at small private markets — then came our first Pecan Fest, and everything changed. We signed up for two booths filled with cutting boards, signs, and stove covers, and the community’s response was
overwhelming. That’s when we knew God had a bigger plan.”
The Rozells credit Pecan Fest as a turning point in their journey. “Looking back, it wasn’t just an event — it was the moment everything started to click,” Rozell shared. “It gave us the confidence to grow and the connections that helped shape who we are today. To think it all began at Pecan Fest — and now to stand here as this year’s Nuts About You sponsor — it’s humbling, full circle, and such an incredible blessing.”
While Guadalupe Trading Co. will be at Pecan Fest, shoppers can also visit their store six days a week, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fest, pg. 3

Manufacturing, continued.
Schaeffler, Aisin, Alamo Group, ITM (Innovation Technology Machinery) – I think we have Xerxes here as well, CMC Steel Texas amongst others call Guadalupe County home. These employers continue to invest and expand and create high quality jobs to sustain families and strengthen our communities,” said Schneuker.
Schneuker also spoke on the importance of talent development. He says a strength of this community is emphasizing the preparation for the next generation of skilled workers.
“Manufacturing Month is also about looking ahead
and preparing the next generation of talent that will keep this industry strong for decades. Through partnerships with our local school districts, the Texas Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education, Texas State Technical College – we are helping students develop the technical skills and hands on experience needed to thrive in advanced manufacturing careers,” said Schneuker.
Representatives from several local manufacturing firms and members of area economic and industrial development associations were also present to mark the occasion. Schneuker says the gathering was a show of unity from a sector that continues to “define much of the county’s economic identity.”
Fest, continued.
“We don’t bring the exact same products our makers already have in their own booths — it’s important to us that everyone shines,” Rozell explained. “Instead, we focus on bringing everything ‘pecan’ and everything local — a little sampler of what you’ll find in our store.”
Come to Pecan Fest ready to shop, but don’t forget your appetite. This year features more food trucks than ever, serving everything from savory classics to sweet pecaninspired treats. Participating vendors
include La Diáspora 787, Sugar Rush, Travlin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck, Any Wich Way, Just Like Mama’s Soulfood, Sip’n Sisters, Masshole Lobster Truck, Xtreme Smoke Wagon, Pulling Smoke BBQ, Dona Kika’s Tacos and Gorditas, Dirty Burger, Sweet Rentals, Tha Dog, and Wiggle Waggle.
Adding even more excitement, this year introduces the first annual Food Truck Throw Down, where participating vendors will compete for the title of Best Pecan-Inspired Dish, offering a delicious new way to celebrate Seguin’s pecan heritage.
From artisan booths to food trucks, from family traditions to local pride, Pecan Fest promises to be a true reflection of Seguin’s spirit, all made possible thanks to the support of generous sponsors, including Guadalupe Trading Co., Pecan Country Chiropractic, Beck and Beck Buick GMC, GVEC, Renewal by Andersen, Academy Sports + Outdoors, and Schertz Bank and Trust.

Voting, continued.
“We’ve got 14 different ballot styles for the voters in our county to choose from. They don’t actually get to choose any ballot they want. They get the ballot style for the districts in which they reside so there’s going to be some voters that just have constitutional amendments on their ballot. There’s going to be some voters who have a water district and school district and constitutional amendments, but across the board, everyone should have the constitutional amendment. There’s 17 of those so if voters want to do a little research ahead of time and look at their sample ballot on our website or stop by our office and get a sample ballot, they can do some research and some studying ahead of time because there are 17 of them. It might take a little while standing at the voting machine, if they don’t look ahead,” said Hayes.
Hayes says to eliminate any issues; she reminds voters to come prepared.
“They need to bring a photo ID. A Texas driver’s license is the easiest one but military ID, license to carry, passport and things like that work too. They need to make sure they are not wearing any political gear. No T-shirts for their favorite candidate or campaign, no hats, no buttons, no bumper stickers. None of that is allowed within 100 feet of the polls. We do have distance markers out there that will say ‘there is no electioneering from this point on,’” said Hayes.
Voters heading to the polls will also notice a change to Texas law concerning cell phones. Hayes says this is one major change she wants all voters to know.
“There has been a change in the law now. Voters are allowed to have their cellphones on and out within 100 feet of the polls – so while they are standing in line, waiting for their turn to vote – if there is a line – they can be using their cell phone. They just can’t be recording anything. No taking pictures and then once they go into the voting room, then they have to have their cellphones put away. So, I think that will make things a lot more pleasant for the voters that do have to stand in line. As always, we are trying to avoid lines, but we know that sometimes lines happen and now the voters will actually be able to be on their cellphone while they are outside or inside wherever they are standing in line, so I think that’s going to be a lot better for the voters,” said Hayes.
Hayes says opportunities to vote early will be in place for the next two weeks. She says an election voting schedule can also be found on the elections office website at co.guadalupe.tx.us.
“Early voting starts today 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and it’s all this week through Friday. Then Saturday, the hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday is 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and then next week Monday through Friday, it’s 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and early voting ends on Oct. 31 and then election day is Nov. 4,” said Hayes.
TLU Football Moves to 2-0 in SCAC Play with Senior Day Shootout Victory Over Hendrix
Bryce HayesTLU Sports Information
SEGUIN, Texas — A game that saw a wild flurry of offense ended in dramatic fashion as Texas Lutheran came back to win 50-48 over Hendrix with no time remaining Saturday afternoon and improve to 2-0 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) play.
Saturday’s contest marked the third-highest scoring conference game in SCAC history and the highest scoring game since 2010.
The two teams combined for 15 scoring drives, 1,005 yards of total offense (549 for Hendrix, 456 for Texas Lutheran) and 49 first downs. Despite the mass amounts of explosive plays, Saturday’s contest still came down to the game’s final moments as Ja’Mare Nichols (San Antonio/Roosevelt) caught an out route for a touchdown on an untimed down to win the game to complete the comeback victory.
Special teams proved to be crucial as every point counted on Saturday, kicker A’Jean Augustine (Houston/Lamar) made one of his two field goal attempts and all five of his extra point tries.
Reece Deitrick (Austin/Canyon) was 19-for-33 passing with 301 total yards (287 passing, 14 rushing) and five touchdowns (four passing, one rushing). Ja’Mare Nichols was his favorite target on Saturday as the San Antonio native had a career day, leading the receiving corps with six catches for 153 yards and three touchdowns – all career-highs. Nichols’ three touchdown performance are the most touchdowns in a single-game for a Bulldog since Jekovan Holmes in 2016. Weston Guzman (McAllen/McAllen) had a strong day out of the backfield with 86 yards rushing and a touchdown.
Marvin Farris (Rosenberg/Lamar Consolidated) led the Texas Lutheran defense with 12 tackles, including 2.5 for a loss and a sack as well as a blocked extra point. Troy Tomaselli (Castroville/Cornerstone Christian) and Owen Garcia (Austin/Connally) tallied eight tackles each with Garcia collecting one of four TLU interceptions on the day. The four interceptions tie the program record for interceptions in a game and marks the third straight season TLU has had a four interception game. With his fourth quarter interception, senior Marec Square (Houston/Lamar) moved into the top ten of TLU’s DivisionIII history in the category with five career interceptions, including four this season. Justin Navarro (Edinburg/Robert Vela) and Anthony Ortegon (Deer Park/Deer Park) finished with five tackles each with Ortegon recording his third sack of the season.
After falling into an early 13-0 hole and an interception by Tyler Littleton (Irving/MacArthur), a three-yard touchdown pass from Deitrick to Tory Brooks (Hillsboro/Hillsboro) got the Bulldogs on the board. The Bulldogs would respond to another Hendrix touchdown with a 64-yard connection between Deitrick and Nichols. A 10-yard rushing touchdown from Deitrick
gave TLU their first lead late in the first half but the Warriors would get on the board one last time to take a 26-21 lead into the locker room.
Texas Lutheran would score on five of their eight possessions in the second half, starting with a four-yard rushing touchdown from Brooks and a 57-yard receiving touchdown from Nichols.
A 10-yard rushing touchdown from Weston Guzman tied the game 41all early in the fourth and Augustine’s 35-yard field goal gave TLU a 44-41 lead with 6:53 remaining. A 78-yard connection for a SCAC record tying 7th passing touchdown from Hendrix quarterback, Jacob Buniff, with 31 seconds left could have been a dagger but the Bulldogs were able to execute a successful two-minute drill to put them in position to win the game.
A 27-yard connection between Deitrick and Lavonta Henry (San Antonio/Madison) moved the ball to the 36-yard line with 16 second left before Deitrick found Brandon Wells (San Antonio/Brennan) for his third catch of the day with four seconds remaining. Deitrick looked to find his favorite target, Caleb Camarillo (Gonzales/Southside) as time expired but despite the pass being broken up, TLU was given an untimed down for one last shot to win it due to pass interference in the end zone, placing the ball on the four-yard line. Deitrick rolled right and found Nichols to send the TLU faithful home happy.
Prior to Saturday’s game, Texas Lutheran honored its 20-member senior class.
Texas Lutheran continues SCAC play next Saturday as the Austin College ‘Roos travel to Seguin to serve as the Bulldogs Homecoming opponent. Kickoff is set for 4 PM. The game will be broadcast on FloCollege along with KWED 1580 AM with Chris Austin on the call. Saturday Texas Lutheran Athletics will also induct four new members into the TLU Athletics Hall of Fame: former TLU Baseball head coach Greg Burnett, former TLU Softball player Ashley Jacobsen ’15, and former TLU football twin quarterback/wide receiver duo Brett and Cameron Peavy ’14 in a halftime ceremony. Texas Lutheran will also recognize the 1975 NAIA National Championship team and the 1975 AIAW Volleyball National Championship teams for their 50th anniversaries as well as Athletics Wall of Honor recipients, former TLU President Dr. Stuart Dorsey and his wife, Michelle Dorsey.

Trump To Make IVF More Accessible
(Washington, DC) -- President Trump is unveiling a plan to make in vitro fertilization more accessible. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump said his plan will allow Americans access to the most popular fertility drugs at reduced prices, saying Americans have been paying 700 times what other countries pay. Trump also said his administration will make IVF treatments less expensive for couples. He made the announcement alongside Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other officials. Making IVF more accessible was one of Trump’s campaign promises.
California Launches Affordable Insulin
(Sacramento, CA) -- California will launch its own affordable insulin in 2026, making it the first state to sell the medication directly to consumers. Starting in January 2026, insulin pens will be available for no more than 55 dollars for a pack of five, averaging eleven dollars per pen. Governor Gavin Newsom says pharmacies in the state can buy the insulin pens for 45 dollars. The initiative is part of Newsom’s CalRx program which aims to lower prescription drug costs. The program began in 2019 through an executive order by Newsom to not only lower drug prices but create price transparency. Newsom says the program is also working to remove the middleman and lower costs for other necessities like diapers and inhalers like Albuterol.
Some Dead Dolphins Show Signs Of Alzheimer’s Disease
(Coral Gables, FL) -- Some dead dolphins are showing signs of Alzheimer’s-like disease. A study of the brains of 20 bottlenose dolphins that washed ashore along Florida’s Indian River Lagoon had high concentrations of a deadly chemical called cyanobacteria. Experts say that the chemical is scarring their brains in a way that resembles the brain of a human patient who has Alzheimer’s. Cyanobacteria is found in blue-green algae blooms and are highly toxic to brain regions related to memory, thinking and communication. The toxin levels are extremely high during peak algae season.
