Elderly couple succumbs to injuries sustained in house fire Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(San Marcos) -- A structure fire in northern Guadalupe County has claimed the lives of an elderly San Marcos couple. Patrick Pinder, the Guadalupe County emergency management coordinator and fire
marshal, says the fire broke out in the 5000 block of Cedarside Street at around 12:15 p.m. Saturday. He says upon arriving at the scene, it was reported that the residents Robert Fox, 78 and Janet Mahanay, 69, were unaccounted for.
While York Creek firefighters worked diligently to control the blaze, San Marcos Fire Department crews made entry through a window and located the couple in the living room. Fire, pg. 2

(Seguin) -- Early voting for the May 4th election in Texas ends today. Locally, there are two major issues on the ballot for some voters. The Navarro ISD is asking voters to consider approval of a $120 million bond issue. The bond projects include the construction of a new elementary school. It also calls for new athletic facilities, including new football, baseball, softball, and tennis facilities. Navarro ISD Superintendent Mandy Epley, speaking recently on KWED's Saturday Topic program, says the projects were all recommended by the district's facilities committee and are designed to deal with the rapid growth that's coming to the Navarro ISD. “We have a demographer that works with the district. He reports to us quarterly and we're able to see how new subdivisions are coming in and how that may impact us as far as new students and new families being part of the Navarro ISD. So, in our third quarter report, he gave
us an estimate that we would see in five years approximately 3,960 students. So currently, we see a record high of 2,438 students. So obviously (there is) growth there, but I think the number that prompted us to really look at a facilities planning committee, for the next 10 years, was the 10 year projection of over 6,000 students (coming) to the district,” said Epley. Epley says the district is trying to share the facts behind their decision to place the bond on the ballot. She says it's now up to the voters to decide if this is a worthy investment to make into the district. Voting, pg. 2
