WEEKEND EDITION

Community remembers Seguin BBQ standout Ty Machado

(Geronimo) -- As family and friends prepare to celebrate the life of Ty Machado this weekend, many across Seguin are remembering a young man whose talent, determination and love for barbecue earned him recognition far beyond Texas.

Ty Joseph Machado, 24, and a 2020 graduate of Navarro High School passed away on May 24, 2026.

Those who knew him best also remember a young man whose passion for competition barbecue opened doors to opportunities across the country.

Long before he became known as a talented pitmaster, KWED Radio and the Seguin Daily News had the privilege of sharing Ty’s journey with the community. Listeners and readers followed his rise through the barbecue world as he competed against some of the nation’s top cooks while still in his early teens.

One of the highlights came in 2018 when the then-16-yearold Navarro High School student competed in the World Food Championships in Orange Beach, Alabama. Facing nearly 1,500 chefs from around the world and

competing against seasoned adults, Ty earned an impressive seventhplace finish in the Steak Division, making him one of the youngest competitors in the field.

Ty’s presentation of ribeye steak tacos showcased not only his culinary skills but also his pride in his family, culture and heritage. His success at the championship was one of several accomplishments that helped establish him as one of the country’s rising young barbecue talents. Over the years, he collected numerous accolades, appeared on Food Network and earned multiple world championship titles before the age of 16.

Free Fishing Day set for this Saturday across Texas

(Austin) -- Texans and visitors can fish without a license during Texas’ annual Free Fishing Day on Saturday, June 7.

The event allows anyone to cast a line in public waterways across the state without purchasing a fishing license. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department says the day is designed to encourage people to enjoy the outdoors and introduce new anglers to the sport.

TPWD officials encourage experienced fishermen to bring family members and friends along to share their knowledge and love of fishing.

The department also offers several resources for anglers, including fishing tutorials, information on local lakes and rivers, urban fishing locations, state park fishing opportunities and special events at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens.

While no license is required on Free Fishing Day, officials remind anglers that fishing licenses help fund conservation efforts, fish stocking programs, habitat improvements and public fishing access projects across Texas.

BBQ, continued.

While his barbecue achievements brought him national attention, those closest to Ty say his greatest gifts were his kindness, friendships and the joy he brought to those around him.

Concert, continued.

More information about Free Fishing Day and fishing opportunities throughout the state is available through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and at TakeMeFishing.org.

Anglers planning to fish in federal waters should note that a valid fishing license is still required for the private recreational red snapper season, which opened May 22.

Most recently, Ty worked for Encompass Services as a crew chief, surveying across the country.

A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 6 at Living Waters Church.

Navarro ISD CFO testifies before Texas House Committee on Public Education

Neuhoff urges relief on complex school finance calculations

(Geronimo) -- Navarro ISD Chief Financial Officer

Paul Neuhoff testified on June 1 before the Texas House Committee on Public Education, advocating for Texas school districts facing severe hardships due to increasingly complex state funding calculations and skyrocketing operational costs.

The hearing, chaired by State Rep. Brad Buckley (R-Salado), was called to review the implementation of House Bill 2 (HB 2)—a sweeping public education finance bill passed last year—and its direct impacts on school districts, teacher recruitment, and special education programs.

As reported by KXAN in the article “8 billion given to Texas public schools: Lawmakers revisit the funds” (by Dylan McKim and Eden Shimanek), lawmakers on both sides of the aisle questioned the Texas Education Agency (TEA) during the hearing regarding why numerous school districts that were promised increased revenue under HB 2 actually lost funding. KXAN noted that State Rep. Jeff Leach (R-Plano) stated the financial estimates, or “runs,” provided to lawmakers when they voted on the bill were inaccurate, adding that the legislation ultimately “hurt” some of his local districts.

Testifying on behalf of Navarro ISD and the Guadalupe County Education Coalition (GCEC), Neuhoff brought 32 years of school finance experience directly to the panel. Speaking with KXAN, Neuhoff highlighted how the compounding layers of state legislation and unpredictable variables, such as shifting homestead exemptions, have made drafting local school budgets nearly impossible. “It has become more complicated as the legislature has added on more layers and more additions,” Neuhoff explained.

In his testimony to the committee, Neuhoff praised the creation of the Allotment for Basic Costs (ABC allotment), particularly its structure based on student enrollment rather than attendance, noting that operational costs do not change when attendance fluctuates. However, he stressed that current state funding is vastly falling short of real-world inflation.

While Navarro ISD receives just over $300,000 through the ABC allotment, the district spends roughly $1.5 million annually on essential operations that are entirely outside of its control. Neuhoff shared stark data reflecting the financial pressures local districts are under: Utility Costs: Navarro ISD’s utilities have surged nearly 60% since 2019.

Retirement Contributions: The district’s Teacher

since 2021.

Transportation Inflation: Last school year, Navarro’s average cost per mile rose to $3.92 before the recent spike in diesel fuel prices and an unfunded mandate to retrofit local school buses with seat belts that would cost the district over $500,000.

Neuhoff urged lawmakers to use the ABC allotment as a mechanism to shield schools from market pressures by either expanding the allotment to match true district needs or tying it to the Texas Consumer Price Index every biennium. He also noted it could provide a steady baseline to protect districts experiencing severe fluctuations in state “hold harmless” funding due to property tax revenue changes.

Julia Grizzard, Executive Director of the Bexar County and Guadalupe County Education Coalitions, commended Neuhoff’s testimony and his ability to field multiple questions from lawmakers regarding inflation and enrollment-based funding. Dr. Mandy Epley, Navarro ISD Superintendent of Schools stated, “By sharing Navarro ISD’s perspective on school finance and our willingness to be present to answer questions, we hope to forge relationships with the committee members in order to educate and prompt discussion as they consider their charges regarding public education and prepare for the 90th legislative session.”

Navarro ISD remains committed to working alongside state leaders to ensure school finance calculations are transparent, predictable, and fully equipped to support student success and teacher retention. Click here to watch the full recording of the hearing.

Flesh-Eating Screwworm Found In Texas

(Crystal City, TX) -- A flesh-eating screwworm has been confirmed in the U.S. The parasite burrows into the flesh of living animals, and was eradicated in the U.S. about 60 years ago. On Wednesday, the USDA said a screwworm had been detected in a three-week-old calf in south Texas. State and federal officials say they are working to contain and eradicate the infestation, and are enforcing quarantines in Zavala County where the parasite was found.

Kenyan Quarantine Unit Continues To Face Opposition

(Undated) -- The Trump administration is pushing for Americans exposed to Ebola to be quarantined abroad, but the proposal is facing mounting backlash. Plans for a 50-bed facility at a Kenyan air base has sparked fear that it could fuel infections in the East African country. However, President William Ruto is defending the proposal even after a Kenyan court extended its block on establishing the quarantine unit. The plan has also faced scrutiny from U.S. health experts who’ve issued an open letter to Congress arguing that the plan to treat exposed Americans abroad raises “profound clinical, ethical, operational, and legal concerns.”

Study Links Weight-Loss Drugs With Lower Breast Cancer Risk

(Philadelphia, PA) -- Weight-loss drugs are being linked to lower rates of breast cancer. A new study out this week looked at more than 100-thousand women over the past few years and found those who took GLP-1 drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic had a 30-percent lower risk of breast cancer. The researchers at the University of Pennsylvania point out, however, that the observational study does not prove that weight-loss drugs reduce cancer risk. The researchers are now seeking funding for a clinical trial on whether GLP-1 drugs can decrease breast cancer cases among high risk women.

Nebraska Governor Welcomes Release Of Hantavirus-Exposed Passengers

(Omaha, NE) -- Nebraska’s Governor is welcoming the release of five cruise ship passengers who were being held at the National Quarantine Unit in Omaha after being exposed to Hantavirus. They all remained symptom-free while being monitored at the quarantine unit, and were part of a group of 18 cruise ship passengers from the U.S. who arrived at the facility three weeks ago. Governor Jim Pillen said, “this is a positive development and the product of the ongoing partnership between the state of Nebraska, UNMC, and our federal health partners.” Pillen reassured Nebraskans that the passengers’ departures were carefully coordinated and posed no threat to public health.
