Community to walk for a polio-free world Seguin Rotary Club to host walk this Saturday Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Seguin residents are encouraged to take a few steps toward changing the world this weekend. The Seguin Rotary Club is inviting families, friends and walkers of all ages to join its two-mile World Polio Day walk this Saturday morning beginning at the Seguin Schoolyard. The walk is designed to raise awareness of the ongoing fight against polio and support efforts to eliminate the disease worldwide. Rotarian Julie Leos says Rotary International has spent more than 45 years working toward that goal, and while significant progress has been made, she says the work is not yet finished. “We’re close, right? I think that’s the greatest thing about it,” said Leos. “We’ve reduced polio cases since 1988 since Rotary started working with this effort -just reduced cases around the world by 99.99 percent. So that’s close to 100. So we’re so close and we’re just really excited to be able to continue that effort.” Polio is a potentially paralyzing disease that primarily affects children. Although it has been eliminated from most of the world, she says it remains endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan, making continued vaccination and prevention efforts important to protecting communities worldwide. Leos says the event is open to everyone, regardless of fitness level, and participants do not have to complete the entire two-mile route to take part.
“Some people have said, ‘I’m going to bring my whole family,’ and bringing the kids and the strollers. Some people have said my kids will be asleep and so I can go and do a walk by myself. So it’s whatever you kind of need for yourself -- to be in community, to talk about something that’s bigger than ourselves here in Seguin,” said Leos. Participants will meet at Suburban Running & Recreation located at the Seguin Schoolyard with check-in beginning at 7:30 a.m. The group photo and walk will follow at 8 a.m. Saturday. The walk is free, and donations to Rotary International’s Polio Plus program will be accepted onsite. Through a partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, donations will be matched at a rate of $2 for every $1 raised. Leos says residents who are unable to donate can still make a difference simply by showing up and participating. “If people aren’t in a position to do that right now, their presence is enough,” said Leos. “So, just come out and be together with us.” Residents can register through the Seguin Rotary Club website at www.seguinrotary.org by locating the World Polio Walk flyer on the group’s Facebook page. Participants may also contact the Seguin Rotary Club at rotaryclubseguin@gmail.com. The Seguin Schoolyard is located at 225 N. Saunders St.
Matador Theatre Friday night brings Halloween fun and frights to SOLC Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- A little Halloween magic, a few spooky surprises and plenty of student creativity will come together Friday night as Seguin High School’s Matador Theatre program hosts its first Halloween Bash and Haunted Forest at the Irma Lewis Outdoor Learning Center. The idea came together through a partnership with the Outdoor Learning Center, where manager Pete Sylvius had been looking for an opportunity to collaborate with the school’s theatre program. Lydia Robles, Seguin High School theatre teacher, says the event
has resulted in giving students an opportunity to take their classroom creativity into a new setting and build an event of their own. The Halloween event will offer family-friendly activities beginning at 6 p.m., followed by a haunted forest experience starting at 8 p.m. She says the event is designed to give families an evening of Halloween fun while also showcasing the talents of Seguin High School theatre students. “We were able to put our heads together and we all got really excited about doing a Halloween event with
the haunted forest,” said Robles. The evening’s activities will include Halloween character meetand-greets featuring familiar favorites such as Peter Pan and Ariel, games, concessions and classic Halloween movies shown on a big screen. Families are encouraged to bring blankets and settle in for favorites such as “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” Guests also can enjoy s’mores around the fire pit and encounter Edgar Allan Poe, who will be walking around reading poetry and favorite Halloween stories.

Seguin’s Movies in the Park gets a seasonal twist this Friday night Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
That’s according to Jack Jones the director of the Seguin Parks and Recreation Department. He says families are being invited out to Max Starcke Park East -- this Friday night -- for a showing of the Disney-Pixar animated film Elio. Jones says the city is excited about offering a movie this October — a movie which was originally scheduled earlier this year but due to rain was postponed. He says the timing of the movie just adds to all the Halloween fun happening in the community. “Even though it rained out last March, things happened for a reason. We’re able to do, I think, a lot more stuff this year with it being Halloween and having it of course at Max Starcke Park, we love that venue. Looking forward to having everybody out this Friday,” said Jones. In addition to the film, Jones says families will get to take part in some pre-movie fun. Movies, pg. 4

William G. “Bill” Squires Jr. passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 15, 2026, following a long health challenge. Bill was a loving father, a dedicated educator, and a tireless contributor to his community. Bill earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physical education at Southwest Texas State University, and his PhD in exercise physiology and cardiac rehabilitation through Texas A&M University and Baylor College of Medicine. He was a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), certified as an ACSM Exercise Specialist and Program Director. He served as exercise testing director at the cardiopulmonary laboratory at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, where he did the crew pre-flight testing for STS-1, the first Space Shuttle mission. He returned to NASA in 1989 to work in the biomechanics laboratory, developing exercise countermeasures for the Space Shuttle program. From 1980 to 2017, Dr. Squires was a professor of kinesiology and biology at Texas Lutheran University, where he held the Dr. Fredrick C. Elliott Chair in Health, Fitness, and Nutrition. He also held adjunct appointments at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of North Texas Health Science Center.

In 2013 the Michael & Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living at the UT School of Public Health in Austin gave him its Texas Health Champion Award as part of Texas Obesity Awareness Week. He will be remembered for all of these accomplishments, but most of all for the many people he inspired and helped succeed in their own careers. Bill is survived by his children, William G.

LA HBCU To Open Medical School (New Orleans, LA) -- A historically-Black university in Louisiana is opening a new medical school. Xavier University in New Orleans will be opening the Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine in August of 2027. The school has just received accreditation and is now accepting applications for 50 openings. Ochsner will be only the 5th medical school in the U.S. at an HBCU. The school will be working with the Ochsner Medical Center In New Orleans, which has been named the number-one hospital in Louisiana by U.S. News and World Report for 15 years in a row. Chiropractor Offers Tips To Avoid Desk Job Aches And Pains (Cleveland, OH) -- An expert is offering some tips on reducing neck and back issues for desk jobs. Andrew Bang, a chiropractor at the Cleveland Clinic, says sitting for long periods with poor posture can result in aches and pains and tension. He recommends raising the laptop on a stack of books or box to make the computer screen at eye level and to think about a separate keyboard and mouse to help prevent the hunched over position. He also suggests getting up and moving once an hour. U.S. Fertility Rate Hits Record Low (Washington, DC) -- The U.S. fertility rate has hit a record low. New data from the CDC says for every one-thousand women in the U.S., only 53 gave birth last year. That’s down from 54 the previous year. It also found birth rates decreasing among younger women. The news comes despite attempts by the Trump administration to reverse the trend. Last year, President Trump was reportedly considering a proposal to offer five-thousanddollar “baby bonuses” to new mothers in the U.S. Exercise Among Cancer Survivors Results In Lower Costs (Atlanta, GA) -- A new study shows staying active after a cancer diagnosis helps lower healthcare costs for older people. The American Cancer Society looked at more than 12 thousand cancer survivors age 65 and older. The organization found the ones who increased their physical activity through walking, biking and dancing had lower healthcare costs compared to those who were inactive. One of the study’s authors says with the number of cancer survivors continuing to grow, identifying effective strategies to reduce healthcare costs is increasingly important.
