The Kelso’s to lead annual Guadalupe County Fair Parade Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
2026 Guadalupe County Fair gates officially open KWED Listener Appreciation Night set for tonight Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Fair gates officially open today for the 143rd Guadalupe County Fair and PRCA Rodeo. Today also marks KWED Listener Appreciation Night at the rodeo. KWED along with a number of partnering businesses worked hard this past week to ensure that as many people
as possible were able to pick up their free rodeo tickets. As of Thursday morning, KWED only had a limited amount of tickets still available. Free KWED Listener Appreciation Night tickets can also be picked up today at GPS and Murdoch’s Fair, pg. 3
(Guadalupe County) -- A longtime Guadalupe County family with deep ties to the rodeo and fair community will lead this year’s Guadalupe County Fair Parade. The Guadalupe County Fair Association has named the late Rodney Kelso and his wife, Sylvia Kelso, and the Kelso Family as this year’s parade marshals. The honor comes as Rodney and Sylvia Kelso --- also stock contractors --- are being recognized as 2027 inductees into the Rodeo Cowboys of South Texas Hall of Fame. Gail Damerau of the Guadalupe County Fair Association says the honor is a perfect way to recognize the Kelsos’ many years of service to the fair, rodeo and the community. “They have just been such a part of the fair for so many years,” said Damerau. “We felt
like this was really exciting and something special to be able to honor them and have the Kelso family kick off our parade.” The Rodeo Cowboys of South Texas organization was formed to recognize South Texas rodeo individuals age 60 and older. According to the fair association, the organization honors people from a variety of areas of the rodeo industry, including rodeo directors, cowboy artisans, rodeo photographers, empty-saddle honorees, bullfighters and stock contractors. The 2027 induction event is scheduled for March 20 at the Mesquite Hall in Adkins. Sylvia Kelso served as president of the Guadalupe County Fair in 1991 and 1992 and was a member of the fair’s board of directors from 1980 through 2008 -- a total of 28 years. Parade, pg. 3

Seguin baby makes final five in first round of national ‘Baby of the Year’ contest Voting urged from Seguin community Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- It looks as though it’s up to Seguin to let the rest of the world know that it is home to the Baby of the Year. Local Baby --- Isabella Grace Ramirez is currently in the running for a national “Baby of the Year” title, and her family is asking the community to help her make it to the next round. Isabella Grace has been selected as one of the top five babies in her group for the online contest, which is being presented in partnership with Celebrity Jessica Alba along with The Honest Company, Variety and Baby2Baby. The online contest has been underway for about a month and during that time --- Isabella has gone from being among 40 babies to now being one of the top five finalists. Her mother, Adrianna Ramirez, says the family first learned about the contest from Isabella’s Aunt Tanya Thomas, who sent them the information on Facebook just a few days before the entry deadline. Since then, the family has been following along closely. She says Isabella had been holding the No. 1 spot until Tuesday, when she began moving between first and second place. “Besides her being the cutest baby to all of us in our family. She’s so funny. She is the happiest baby. She’s always smiling, laughing, making people smile in the store, and she’s just happy, and she is the first grandbaby and the first great grandbaby in the family,” said Adrianna.
For the Ramirez family, the contest is about more than a cute baby photo. Adrianna says it helps raise money for Baby2Baby, a nonprofit that provides children in need with essentials such as diapers, clothing and other necessities. “It’s free to vote every day, so you don’t have to donate. But if you do donate, you’re helping babies across the country with diapers, clothes, and necessities that babies should have access to,” said Adrianna. The ultimate prize for the winning baby is $25,000, a national advertising campaign with The Honest Company and recognition in the magazine Variety. The deadline to vote online is this Thursday at 7 p.m. The finalists from each group will then move on into another round. According to her family’s contest profile, “feeding time is a favorite, especially since she recently started eating purées. She also enjoys her chicken teething toy, contact naps, being held, playing with her walking crab toy and two-stepping with her dad.” In addition to her mom Adrianna, an RN who works in the birthing center at Guadalupe Regional Medical Center, the six-month-old is loved by her father, Izaiha, an electrical apprentice who has been busy constructing facilities in the Navarro ISD.

Clifton was born on December 7, 1931, in Seguin, Texas, the son of Herbert and Bessie (Miman) Micheli. He attended local schools and graduated from Saegert High School in 1950. In his early teens he worked part-time for Max Rank Sheet Metal and during World War II he worked part-time at Wuest’s grocery store sacking sugar, flour and other rations in one pound packaging. He also worked part-time at the family business, Micheli Plumbing. After attending college at Texas Lutheran College, Clifton joined the Air Force.

Just as the caterpillar reaches the end of its quiet journey only to emerge with wings, Charity has completed her earthly chapters and transitioned into lasting peace. On September 22, 2026, Charity Calderon Fernandez passed away at the age of 51 in San Antonio, TX. To those who loved her, this loss is not a permanent conclusion, but a metamorphosis – the freeing of a gorgeous soul from its earthly bonds. Born on January 7, 1975, in Seguin, TX, to Juanita and the late Steven Calderon, she captured their hearts at first sight. Her greatest joy was the life she built alongside her loving husband, Albert Fernandez. Together for almost two decades, they shared laughter, quiet comfort, and a love that weathered many storms. Albert never left her side. Through every hard day of her illness, he was her caregiver, her protector, and her constant companion, right to the very end. His devotion to her was as fierce and loyal as hers was to him. Though Charity has left Albert behind in this earthly life, the bond between them remains unbroken. While he is left to navigate a world that feels significantly darker, Albert will anchor himself to the precious memories and the enduring love they so generously gave each other. Among those left to navigate the emptiness of a world without Charity is her deeply devoted mother, Juanita Carrillo Calderon. The bond between them was fierce, and woven through 51 years of laughter, phone calls, and an unconditional love. Janie will carry the shattered pieces of her heart until they are together, again. She holds firm in the knowledge that Charity is now with her beloved Dad in Heaven. One can only imagine the tears of joy, as Steve took her hand, and whispered softly in her ear, “Welcome Home, Mama,” as they walked hand in hand down the streets of gold, for eternity. Charity lived a life of grand adventure, embracing the beauty of different cultures while residing in Germany, and capturing unforgettable moments during her visit to France. Her ultimate dream came true during a breathtaking pilgrimage to Rome and Vatican City, a journey that filled her heart with peace and awe. Along with her husband, Albert, their adventurous spirits took them from the bustling streets of New York, Chicago, and Boston, to the scenic coast of San Francisco, the familiar warmth of New Jersey, the calming landscapes of Kentucky and the natural beauty of Canada. Together, they created memories never to be forgotten. Charity’s absence leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of all who knew her, including her little sister and lifelong best friend, Stefany Calderon. From childhood secrets to the understanding of adulthood, their bond was a testament to the unbreakable connection shared by sisters lucky enough to have one another. The challenges they braved together and the foundational love they held for each other will remain alive, always. It is a light that not even death can diminish. One of the most tender bonds Charity shared was with her beloved feline son, Rome E. He was her shadow on difficult days, and her comfort when she needed it. He was her source of pure, endless love. She remains with him in his quiet purrs and gentle gazes. The family pledges to surround
THU. October 8, 2026
Rome with the same love and care his mom gave him. Charity embraced the relationship she had with her brother-in-law, Jaime Fernandez, Jr, her sister-in-law, Sharon, their son, Eric Mabry, his wife, Ashley, her father-in-law, Jaime Fernandez, Sr, and her late mother-in-law, Magdalena Fernandez. Holding the family up through this unimaginable heartbreak are Charity’s adoring aunts and uncles: Maria Pierce (Martin), Dora Luera, Bobby Calderon, Nick Carrillo (Velma) and Joe G. Carrillo (Loretta). Though the void is immeasurable, Charity’s spirit will be carried forward by the ones who grew up alongside her; more than just family members, she leaves behind a tribe of cousins and friends. Each of us know that it was not only her father waiting for her at the gates of Heaven, but her beloved grandparents, Teodora L. and Jose M. Carrillo, and Guadalupe L. and Inocencio Calderon, along with the aunts, uncles, cousins and friends, who no doubt wrapped her in their embrace. None more so than Barkley Hercules, her canine son. We know he ran straight into her arms and smothered her with kisses. Charity lived her life as a reflection of her name, giving entirely of herself to comfort and lift those around her. While our hearts ache at the empty space left behind, we take comfort in knowing that Charity’s spirit has taken flight, entirely unbound, beautifully transformed and eternally free. Pallbearers: Brent Carrillo, Carlos Miranda, Jr, Jason Carrillo, Jon T. Pierce, Daniel Pierce, Travis Pierce, Miguel Carrillo, Jr, and Corey Calderon Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will leave this life. The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. —Job 1:21 Visitation Thursday, October 8, 2026 Palmer Mortuary & Cremations 1116 N Austin St, Seguin, TX 78155 5:00 - 8:00 pm (Central time) Rosary Thursday October 8, 2026 Palmer Mortuary & Cremations 1116 N Austin St, Seguin, TX 78155 6:30 - 7:30 pm (Central time) Mass Friday, October 9, 2026 Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church 409 W Krezdorn St, Seguin, TX 78155 10:00 - 11:00 am (Central time) Interment Friday, October 9, 2026 Holy Cross Cemetery 17501 Nacogdoches Rd, San Antonio, TX 78266 12:30 pm (Central time)

Jay Carl Crowell, age 74 of Seguin, formerly of Luling, passed away on October 3, 2026. Jay was born on January 20, 1952, in Luling, Texas to Ople Liddie (Colwell) and Marion Holmes Crowell. A devoted husband, father and grandfather, gifted athlete, successful businessman, community servant, and loyal friend, Jay lived his life with determination, strength, and a personality that was unmistakably his own. From an early age, Jay had an exceptional talent for football. His ability on the field earned him multiple opportunities to play college football, with offers from programs including Notre Dame, the University of Texas, Texas A&M University, and West Point, among others. Ultimately, Jay chose the University of Houston, where he proudly played left guard for the Houston Cougars and had the opportunity to play in the Bluebonnet Bowl. But one of the most important moments of Jay’s life happened long before college football. While still in high school, Jay was working at a gas station when he met a young woman named Joyce. From that day forward, Jay loved Joyce. The two married in 1972, beginning a life together that would span more than four decades. After college, Jay and Joyce moved to Seguin, where they began their family and welcomed two daughters, Dana and Kristen. Throughout his career, Jay worked for several banks and savings and loans and was also a highly successful real estate agent. He was intelligent, driven, and very good at what he did. While working at First National Bank in Luling, Jay started the first discount brokerage in the San Antonio District. Of all his professional and community accomplishments, one held a particularly special place in his heart. Jay took the liquid assets of McNeil Cemetery and invested them with the goal of securing its future. Because of his work and foresight, the cemetery became semi-perpetual—an accomplishment of which he remained extremely proud. Jay also believed strongly in giving back to the communities he called home. Over the years, he served as President and Vice President of the Luling Chamber of Commerce and served with the Luling Watermelon Thump Association, McNeil Cemetery Board, Luling Economic Foundation, Luling Golf Association, Luling Volunteer Fire Department, and Seguin Volunteer Fire Department. He also competed on the Pumper Race Team for the Seguin Fire Department. Jay was a member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church.

Jay was tough. He was straightforward. You never had to wonder what he was thinking because, more often than not, he was going to tell you. He could be hard, and every now and then his honesty might offend someone. But Jay was Jay, and the people who knew him understood that. He was fiercely loyal, had many lifelong friends, and lived life on his own terms. Jay loved playing golf with his golf buddies, fishing, football, good music, and especially Elvis Presley. He was a great dancer, too, but his favorite dance partner was always Joyce. Family was an important part of Jay’s life. Like many families, not every relationship or every season was simple, but the love was still there. He loved his daughters, Dana and Kristen, and his grandchildren and great-grandchild each held a place in his heart. Jay was a fighter throughout his life, and he remained one until the very end. He faced cancer with the same toughness and determination with which he faced everything else. After a long and difficult battle, Jay lost his life to cancer, leaving behind the legacy of a life fully lived and people who loved him deeply. He will be remembered for his strength, his stubbornness, his loyalty, his accomplishments, his stories, his love of football and golf, his friendships, and the love he carried for Joyce throughout his life. Jay Carl Crowell was one of a kind. And to those who knew and loved him, there will simply never be another Jay. Jay is preceded in death by his wife Joyce, and his parents. Survivors include his daughters, Dana McNabb and husband Matt, and Kristen Johnson; grandchildren, Kendall Kabela and husband Brittan, Carson McNabb, and Kash McNabb; great-grandchild, Kaison Kabela; sister Nancy Kay Tiller and husband Leo; brother-in-law, Kenneth Sekula and wife Ibbie; numerous other loving family members and many friends. Visitation will begin on Monday, October 12, 2026, at 10 a.m. at St. John’s Catholic Church, 500 E.

proudest projects was the restoration of a 1966 Mustang. And while Ray always seemed to have something he was working on, he was just as likely to have a story to tell or a conversation to strike up- and once he got started, he could talk your ear off. Over the years, his interests included collecting and selling sports cards and comic books. Later in life, he turned his attention to growing produce and raising chickens, selling his goods at area farmers markets. He was an avid sports fan, had a deep interest in researching family genealogy, and could happily pass the time playing computer solitaire. Ray was preceded in death by his son, Timothy Christopher Reininger; his parents, Velma and Elmond Otto Reininger; and his brother, Delmar Wayne Reininger. Survivors include his loving wife, Deborah “Debbie” Reininger; daughter, Rayanne DuChane and husband Greg; sons, Eric Reininger and wife Erin, Michael Reininger, Joseph Reininger, and Thomas Reininger and wife Robbin; grandchildren, Kelsey, Shelby and fiancé Tristan, Garrett and partner Mia, Alissa, Connor, Sydney, Liam, Harper, and Blakely; great-grandson, Christopher; step-daughters, Jackie Lopez and husband Reyes, Jessica Arcega and husband Cain, and Jennifer Baerwald; stepgrandchildren, Brooklyn, Bruno, Gruene, Zara, Kaden, JJ, and Christian; as well as numerous other loving family members and a host of friends. Graveside services and interment with military honors will be held on Friday, October 9, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. at San Geronimo Cemetery, with the Reverend Jeremy Roy officiating.

The Reverend Thomas Charles Bruns, age 88 of Seguin, passed away on September 24, 2026. Tom was born on July 15, 1938, in El Paso, Texas to Florence Julia “Nina” (Wilson) and Joseph Louis Bruns. Tom was a graduate of the University of Texas and Virginia Theological Seminary. He was ordained at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Seguin. Always a Texas Longhorn fan, he took great delight in following the teams, regardless of
where he lived. He served as an Episcopal priest in Llano, Eagle Pass, Pleasanton, and Lockhart. He retired when stationed in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. After retirement, he and Martha moved to Seguin, where they enjoyed country living on acreage east of Seguin. They later moved to Mexico where he and Martha enjoyed retirement living in San Miguel De Allende. After a few years, they returned to Seguin and lived in the residential area established on land once owned by Tom’s grandparents. He was always proud of that fact and never failed to tell that to someone he had just met. He was an active Rotarian in all the communities in which they lived,

David Louis Vyoral, 74, of Seguin and Rockport, passed away on September 24, 2026. He was born on December 10, 1951, in Liberty, Texas, to Ruby Marguerite (Damek) and Eddie Louis Vyoral. David grew up with a natural talent for building, fixing, and imagining what things could become. From tinkering with cars and working on the farm alongside his father, David’s hands were always creating, restoring, and improving. David was a dreamer and a doer. At the age of 17, he drove his rebuilt Austin Healy cross country by himself. The year before he turned 30, he rebuilt a wellworn 25’ sailboat and singlehanded it across the Gulf of Mexico. He was eventually joined by his wife Ann, and together they explored the Florida Keys and Bahamas, as they began a life filled with travel, creation, friends, and cats. David was a proud graduate of the University of Texas, with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. His career took him from National Supply in Houston, Texas, to the Georgetown County Water and Sewer District in South Carolina, and back to Texas for his job as the Aransas County Road and Bridge Engineer in Rockport, each move offering new opportunities

having been a club president more than once. While in Pleasanton, he was an active volunteer in the fire department and held the City of Pleasanton position of Fire Marshall. Tom is preceded in death by his son, John Burgwin Bruns and his parents. Survivors include his loving wife, Martha Bruns; son, Thomas Meade Bruns of San Antonio; daughters, Melany Head of Austin, and Maria Miller and husband Jonathan of Leander; proud grandpa to Alan Miller and Dillon J. Head; twin brother, Joe Bruns and wife Sue Ellen “Sudy”; sister, Dorothy Bauer and husband Sydney; numerous nieces, nephews, other loving family members and a host of friends. A memorial service celebrating Tom’s life will be held on Thursday, October 8th, 2026, at 10 a.m. at St. Andrews Episcopal Church with The Rt. Rev. Bishop Angela Cortiñas and the Reverends Stephen Shortess and Karen Morris officiating. A reception will follow.

to restore homes (and one big commercial building). He traveled when he could—always drawn to the water wherever he went. David and Ann retired in Seguin, where he embraced his final dream of transforming an old house overlooking the Guadalupe River into a home with a garage big enough for all of his tools and room to play pool with his friends. He poured the same care into their retreat on Salt Lake in Rockport, where they went to watch the sun rise whenever they could. David never stopped building, fixing, helping, or telling people how they should do things. David is survived by his wife, Ann (Holzschuher), his sister, Jeanette Calhoun, nephews, Brian (Lisa) Calhoun and Bradley (Angie) Calhoun, and niece, Ashley (Carlos) Seckler, along with honorary nieces Thea Setterbo and Katie ( Jeffrey) Goodall. He also leaves behind his “harem” - a group of strong women who lent unending support to David and his wife. In lieu of flowers, David would want you to donate to NPR or a charity of your choice, root for the Texas Longhorns, or vote for Eric Norman (Guadalupe County) and James Talarico (Texas).

WHO: No Further Signs Of Infection At Russian Plague Research Lab (Switzerland) -- The World Health Organization says there are no further signs of infection in Russia at the Irkutsk Research Anti-Plague Institute of Siberia. It’s after a researcher at the facility, reportedly died from pneumonic plague. Russian authorities said no cases of the disease have been recorded in Irkutsk, according to Reuters. The scientist was a woman in her late 20s, according to the WHO. Authorities are working to confirm whether pneumonic plague did cause her death. NY Gov Hochul Declares State Of Emergency Over Measles Outbreak (Albany, NY) -- New York Governor Kathy Hochul is declaring a state of emergency over measles in the state. There are more than 100 cases this year, with most of them in rural areas. The emergency declaration is aimed at bolstering the state’s response to address measles. That includes expanding the number of vaccine administrators which now includes paramedics, pharmacists and midwives. Health officials say those getting sick are mostly unvaccinated with Hochul saying no one should get seriously ill or die from a vaccine-preventable disease. 12% Of Cancer Diagnoses Are Linked To Infections (London) -- New research out of London shows that about 12-percent of cancer diagnoses are linked to infections. The study, published in the journal The Lancet Oncology, says that’s about two-point-three-million cancer cases worldwide, accounting for one in eight cases. Cancer experts say some of those cancers can be prevented by getting vaccinated against certain infections, like those associated with cervical cancer, gastric cancer and liver cancer. Others can be prevented through screening and prompt treatment of the infection such as Epstein-Barr virus which raises the risk of certain head and neck cancers. Cases of Enterovirus On The Rise In Northern California. (San Francisco, CA) -- Cases of enterovirus D68 are on the rise in Northern California. The virus, which usually causes mild cold symptoms but can lead to a rare polio-like illness in young children, are rising in the Bay Area. Levels are high in Palo Alto, Napa, southeast San Francisco, and San Rafael, according to virus trackers. EV-D68 usually appears in summer and fall. The rise comes as cold and flu season started early in San Francisco, with the city recently reporting its first flu-related death.
