Veterans Resource Fair set for this Saturday Community invited to donate gently used medical equipment for Project MEND (Seguin) -- Veterans and their caretakers are encouraged to mark their calendars for this year's second annual Guadalupe County Veterans Resource Fair. The fair is scheduled for Saturday at the American Legion Post 245. After last year's successful event, organizers say they have called upon even more partners to help provide veterans with the equipment and services that they deserve. In fact, this year, the entire community is being urged to also do its part by donating gently used medical equipment to be repaired and refurbished for distribution to veterans throughout the state of Texas. It is also being asked to share the information about the resource fair with the veterans in their lives whether they be family, friends, employees, neighbors or co-workers. Marisela Gonzales, the county's Veterans Service Officer, says this year, the event is being hosted with the help of the Seguin Veteran Ministry and American Legion. She says all types of services will be made available from ordering their D-D-2-14 or sign-
ing-up for transportation. "What we want to do is anyone who is a veteran or who knows a veteran or is a family of a veteran, we definitely invite them to come. We want them to come because whether it's one table we go to, whether it's multiple tables or whether it's just come and being together and having that community in-

volvement and just getting to know each other, its good. Things are always changing with the VA and things are changing with non-profits and it's important to get that information out to our veterans so they're empowered if they need any services, where to go, who to speak to," said Gonzales.

Guadalupe County SO Cold Case Unit seeks information on 27 -year-old murder case (Seguin) -- The 27 year anniversary of the death of a Seguin woman has prompted another look into her murder case. Sgt. Robert Murphy, of the Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office special investigations/cold case unit, say on Aug. 18, 1992, deputies responded to the area of FM 775 and Partnership Road for a report of a body lying beside the roadway. They say when they arrived, deputies found Toni Ann Ackerman, 26, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds lying in the bar ditch on the side of the roadway. Murphy says Ackerman was still alive, but succumbed to her wounds before she was able to give any inforToni Ann Ackerman mation on who her killer might have been. "It was a rural part of the county. It was at 775 and Partnership Road which back in 1992, we had far fewer people in the county so it was even less traveled than it is today and a passerby actually found her and drove back home and called 911 because cell phones weren't really available back then so they had to use actual landline telephones to make the phone call," said Murphy. Ackerman had been last seen on Kingsbury Street in Seguin near the R&R Grocery store on that Aug. 18. She is described as having been 4 feet 11 inches tall and weighing about 105 pounds. She had blue eyes, and brown hair. At the time of her death, she was wearing black boots, a red skirt, and a purple top. Murphy says the woman was a long-time resident of the city of Seguin at the time of her death. The Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office is asking for help in finding the killer or killers responsible for her death. Murphy says they would like to bring closure to the family of Toni Ann Ackerman -- a family who has spent these last decades looking for an answer. See COLD CASE, page 3
