Building Beyond Seguin: Schneuker \ joins Greater SATX Team
Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- The city of Seguin is losing a big piece of its economic development team. Seguin Economic Development Director Josh Schneuker, who also serves as the executive director of the Seguin Economic Development Corporation, is leaving to take a new job in San Antonio.
Schneuker says this is a bittersweet moment for him, but he felt like this opportunity was right for him. He’s heading to Greater SATX to become its senior vice president of economic competitiveness.
“They’re the regional economic development organization, essentially tasked with helping grow not only the economy in San Antonio and Bexar County, but also helping grow the regional economy. That does include Guadalupe County, Seguin, (and) Schneuker, pg. 2

Investigation continues into electrocution of area man
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Marion) -- A line worker died Thursday afternoon after an apparent electrocution while working high above the ground near Wetz Street in Marion.
According to officials, emergency crews were dispatched to the scene following reports of an injured worker.
Upon arrival, first responders determined that the situation required a technical rescue due to the hazardous conditions and elevation — approximately 175 feet off the ground.
Additional assistance was requested from the Schertz and Cibolo Fire Departments, who joined Marion Fire and EMS in the complex recovery effort. CPS Energy also responded, helping to secure electrical hazards at the site to ensure the safety of rescue personnel.
Despite extensive efforts, authorities confirmed that the male worker sustained fatal injuries from the incident. His identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
The incident remains under investigation.
Missing man found dead in Schertz
(Schertz) -- The search for a missing man has ended in tragedy. According to the Schertz Police Department, Zacharias Stallings, 19, was found deceased Thursday afternoon in a field near Schwab Road and Interstate 35.

felt was best for my career (and) best for my family. I’m still excited that I’ll get to still work with Seguin in some capacity in my new role over in San Antonio,” said Schneuker.
The city of Seguin has a long history of successful economic development projects. The city boasts a large manufacturing base, and other sectors of Schneuker, pg. 3

the economy have also been growing. Schneuker has been a big part of that growth and development over the last decade. He says they’ve been able to accomplish a great deal during that time.
“I’m really proud of all the growth that we’ve had on the industrial side of things. Tejin, or CSP, was really the first big project that I got to work on here in Seguin and really kind of in my career... on my own. To see that project announced by Governor (Greg) Abbott himself, and being able to tour that facility and see all the people that work there now -- (it’s special to) know that I had a role in bringing that project to fruition and help create jobs for people and new opportunities. That’s something that always, I think, kind of sticks with me,” said Schneuker.
Schneuker has also helped to usher in new growth in the retail and housing sectors in Seguin. The two often go hand in hand. He says as more people move into the area, more retailers are then looking to tap into this growing market.
“Seeing the growth of the retail base, especially over the last several years here, and knowing that we’ve got a lot more in the pipeline, this is really (special). I think it’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to new retail in Seguin. I’m really excited about that. Obviously, Tuesday being at the Chick-fil-A ribbon cutting (was also special). I came here 10 plus years ago and (Chick-fil-A) was the number one ask at that time, and to know that I helped play a role in bringing that to Seguin really feels rewarding,” said Schneuker.
Schneuker says he’s also proud of the work that they’ve done to help bring a new Texas State Technical College, or TSTC, campus to Seguin. He says workforce development is vitally important to the companies that are doing business here, but it may be more important for families in the area. He says the training available through TSTC can transform lives.
“I’m a big believer that education can provide so many new opportunities for folks. In some cases, it can help end the cycle of generational poverty for individuals. And knowing that we’re bringing an institution like TSTC to Seguin that is going to be able to really provide opportunities for residents (and) for businesses by offering people training for those skill sets and for those certifications, that will allow individuals to enter into high demand and high wage career pathways. It is something that really means a lot to me. My hope is, over the next five years, I’ll be back here in Seguin and see that that campus start to kind of come together and really see the benefits of something just so incredible that will impact the lives of so many people and so many businesses in our community,” said Schneuker.
Schneuker says he’s grateful for his time in Seguin. He says there’s an incredible partnership here that has allowed economic development to flourish in this community.
“A lot of people always tell me, thank you for this project or that project. And the first thing I think about is, it’s not me. I can’t do this on my own. I’ve been incredibly fortunate over my time here in Seguin to work with some really incredible people. I remember when I started here, and I took over as the director. To be honest, I was scared. I was nervous. It’s a big role. I was 26 years old at the time when I walked into that position. And, you know, the fact that we had so many people here that were just willing to lend a helping hand, help guide me, help educate me on things that were really kind of out of my wheelhouse at that time -- it was just phenomenal,” said Schneuker.
Schneuker credits his team here in Seguin for much of his success. He says it shows how much can be done when everyone is working toward the same goal.
“I’ve been so fortunate to have such an amazing team within the EDC here my entire time. Working with folks like, you know, Ashlyn Read, who was our former workforce
development manager, to our team here today with Brittney Watson and Jessica Dersen; and our deputy director Alora Wachholz. They’re just top-notch professionals and they help continue the positive momentum that we’ve got right now. They ensure that we don’t miss a beat. And then there’s also the city staff. When these projects are happening in the pre-development phases and even in the construction phases, it’s a full team effort from so many different city departments to ensure that we’re paying close attention to getting these projects processed and across the finish line as fast as possible. That goes to our planning department and our planning director Pam Centeno, our engineering department with Melissa Reynolds, the attorney’s office, and city management, including former city manager Doug Faseler, and now Steve Parker. They are all tremendous professionals,” said Schneuker.
Schneuker says he knows that Seguin will continue to prosper, due in large part to those partnerships that have been developed over the years.
“There’s a lot of moving parts and it takes a full team to bring these deals to fruition. And so, without all of our partners working together focused on kind of that true North Star -- we wouldn’t see the success we have today. So, I’m just incredibly grateful to those partnerships and those relationships that we’ve been able to cultivate over the past several years,” said Schneuker.
Schneuker’s new job with Greater SATX will allow him to continue to promote this region for economic development projects. Greater SATX works hand in hand with partners across 10 counties in the San Antonio area. Its goal is to help create a regional community where businesses can flourish, where innovation is encouraged and supported, and where residents in the region can dream big.
The city of Seguin is now beginning its search process for its next top economic development official.

Matadors stay in playoff hunt with victory over Wagner
Chris Austin
(Converse) -- Needing a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, the Seguin Matadors got the job done in taking down Wagner, 42-27, on Friday night at D.W. Rutledge Stadium in Converse.
The Matadors snapped a three-game losing streak in District 13-5A to stay within one game of the final playoff spot in the district standings with two games left in the season. Seguin will have a chance to move into that final spot or even move up to the third spot in the next two weeks.
The Mats scored two touchdowns in the first quarter sandwiched around a Wagner score to take a 14-6 lead after the first quarter. Corey Dailey scored Seguin’s first touchdown on a two-yard quarterback keeper, and DJ Luckey ran one in from two yards for the other score.
A little over four minutes into the second quarter, Thunderbird running back J’Anthony Joyner-Price pulled Wagner to within one at 14-13 with a 47-yard TD scamper. Seguin would respond less than a minute later when Dailey hooked up with receiver Elliot Weaver for a 62-yard TD pass to put the Matadors ahead, 21-13.
Seguin linebacker Damian Garcia recovered a Wagner fumble at the T-bird 43-yard line with 3:37 left in the half, and the Mats would later score a touchdown off the turnover when running back Ian Moreno ran with the ball to the end zone from five yards. The TD put the Mats ahead, 28-13, at the half. After putting up 162 yards in their first
two drives, Wagner was limited to just 34 yards by the Seguin defense on their final three possessions of the half.
In the third quarter, the Thunderbirds scored following a Matador turnover. Dailey was intercepted in the end zone on the opening drive of the half, and Wagner would cap an 80-yard drive with a one-yard Joyner-Price TD run to pull within 28-19. Again, the Matadors would take about a minute to respond on their next drive when Dailey hit wide receiver Daniel Pinon in stride for a 71yard touchdown pass down the right sideline to put Seguin up, 35-19.
The Thunderbirds got within one score on the first play of the fourth quarter. Joyner-Price scored on a six-yard run, and the two-point conversion brought Wagner to within 35-27. Neither team would score for the next 10-plus minutes.
The Matadors put the last points of the game on the board with a 15-yard Dailey touchdown run with 1:14 left in the game. Seguin safety Marcus Troy came up with an interception with two seconds left to end the next Wagner drive, and the Mats would kneel out the clock.
Seguin (4-4) improved to 2-3 in district with the victory, while Wagner (3-5) fell to 2-3. The Matadors trail Boerne Champion and New Braunfels, who are tied for third in the district at 3-2. Earlier in the season, Seguin lost to Champion by seven while the Unicorns beat the Chargers by
The Matadors play at New Braunfels next week and would have to beat the Unicorns by at least five points and then beat MacArthur in the final week to clinch a playoff spot. The Mats would then get the four seed in a tie-breaking scenario if Seguin, Champion, and New Braunfels end up tied for third place at the end of the season. The Matadors would move up to the third playoff spot with at least a nine-point win over the Unicorns and a victory over MacArthur in the same three-way tie scenario.
In a milestone moment on Friday, Seguin quarterback Corey Dailey moved into the top five all-time in career high school passing yards in the San Antonio area. The senior needed 182 yards to pass former Boerne quarterback Rashawn Galloway for fifth place. Dailey finished the night with a season-high 377 yards, giving him 8,625 for his career.
The all-time leader in career passing yards in the San Antonio area is former Steele quarterback Chad Warner with 9,439. Dailey needs 815 yards to pass Warner and become the all-time San Antonio area career passing yards leader.
In games for other area teams on Friday, Navarro won their second straight District 13-4A game with a 48-27 win at Smithville, and Marion dropped their first District 13-3A game of the season in a 40-33 home loss to Ingram Moore.

Luedke
Maxine Skotnik Luedke passed away peacefully on October 22, 2025 in Seguin, Texas due to complications from dementia. She was 93 years old. She was born in West Columbia, Brazoria County, on August 9, 1932 to Joe Will Skotnik and Malinda Dora Mazek.
She was the next to youngest of six children: four girls and two boys.
She was just a few days old when an unnamed Hurricane hit Freeport and she spent the night under a mattress with her mother for safety in their small wood frame house.
Growing up she was a tom-boy spending her time outside climbing trees and playing with her brothers. She was called “Cotton Top” by her family members because of the blonde hair she had as a young girl. As an adult, her family nickname was “Mackie”.
After graduating high school, she moved to Taft to live with one of her sisters and her husband. Shortly after, she started working at the local Dodge Car Dealership in Sinton and later on worked at the Dr. Pepper bottling plant in Sinton.
In 1952, she met the love of her life, Leonard John (L.J.) Luedke, who was working for the federal government in Sinton and they were wed on August 15, 1953. They had two sons, Jeffery and Mark. They were wed for almost 62 years until L.J. died in 2015.
After the birth of her first son, she dedicated all her energy and love to raising her two boys. She and L.J. were very supportive of their sons through all of their academic, social and athletic activities.
When her sons were teenagers, the family bought a boat and spent many enjoyable days on Lake Mathis. Her boys spent many summer days water skiing and the family spent time fishing for whatever was biting that day.

They lived together in Sinton for 42 years from 1953 to 1995. In 1996, she and L.J. moved to Seguin to be closer to their sons and escape the threat of hurricanes of south Texas. She and L.J. thoroughly enjoyed their final years in Seguin. They lived in a subdivision with wonderful neighbors. She was active in Emanuel’s Lutheran Church.
After they moved to Seguin, she enjoyed making day trips to the family farm property in Wilson County. She never hesitated to put on her gloves, snake chaps or rubber boots to do her share of work. She always willing to chop down brush/weeds or mow grass. She also enjoyed catching fish the pond.
Maxine, like all of her siblings and mother, was hard-working. She was in constant motion. She was also very giving and would give you the shirt off her back.
As a woman of faith, she served her church. As a Mother, she loved, supported, and was an active participant in the lives of her two sons. As a wife, she deeply loved her husband.
In heaven, I know she is shedding tears of joy when the Lord receives her as one of his good and faithful servants and when she is reunited with her late husband. We shall miss her very much. She is preceded in death by her parents; her three sisters Loraine Koenig, Josephine Carter, Irene “Pearly” Trentham, and two brothers Joe Skotnik, Jr. and Johnny Skotnik.

Millions Of Brown Eggs Recalled Over Salmonella Risk
(Walnut Ridge, AR) -- More than six-million brown eggs are being recalled nationwide over a salmonella risk. This action comes after the FDA found multiple salmonella strains at a Black Sheep Egg plant in Arkansas. The company has voluntarily recalled the eggs which were distributed between July 9th and September 17th. The recall involves 12-count and 18-count packages with “Best Buy” dates ranging from August 22nd to October 31st. The FDA says some of the eggs were repacking by other companies, including Kenz Henz in Texas, under different brand names. Consumers are being warned not to eat or serve recalled eggs and wash hands, utensils and kitchen counters thoroughly with hot, soapy water after handling raw eggs.
New Drug Can Help Reduce Chances Of Death From Prostate Cancer
(Undated) -- Results from a clinical trial show a new drug can increase the chances of people surviving advanced prostate cancer. The trial shows adding the drug enzalutamide to hormone therapy brings down the risk of premature death by more than 40 percent in patients whose prostate cancer had returned. This was just published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The trial involved men who have already undergone surgery or radiation therapy. Researcher Dr. Stephen Freedland says hormone therapy alone has not improved survival rates, so the findings are a real game changer.
Nearly One In Five Urinary Tract Infections Linked To Contaminated Meat
(Oakland, CA) -- A new study shows that nearly one in five urinary tract infections in Southern California is linked to contaminated meat. Kaiser Permante did the research and found that the highest risk of foodborne e coli strains were in chicken and turkey. Women and older men were especially vulnerable to foodborne UTIs with people in low-income areas having a 60-percent greater risk than those who live in wealthier communities. UTIs are among the most common infections found worldwide.
Study: Key Coral Species ‘Functionally Extinct’ Off Florida Coast
(Tampa, FL) -- Two key coral species are now “functionally extinct” off Florida’s coast. That’s according to a new study published in the academic journal Science. The study reveals a marine heat wave in 2023 caused two of the Florida reef system’s most important coral species to almost completely die off. “Functional extinction” means the species impacted, staghorn and elkhorn coral, no longer exist in numbers large enough to fill their role in the ecosystem.
