Guadalupe County elections administrator leaving for state position
(Gaudalupe County) -- After 18 years of service to Guadalupe County, Elections Administrator Lisa Hayes is stepping down to accept a new role with the Texas Secretary of State’s Office.
Hayes, who began her career with the county as a voter registration clerk, has spent the last decade leading the Elections Office. She will now serve as a Director IV in the state’s Election Division, where she will bring her experience in election administration, regulatory support, and educational program development to a statewide platform.
Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher says Hayes’ impact on local election processes has been incredible.
“Mrs. Hayes' strength, dedication, and passion for transparency and an efficient electoral process have
shaped every element of our county's ability to maintain the integrity of the voting process and uphold regulatory commitments while constantly seeking process improvements. While we are sad to see her leave, we are excited for her continued growth and proud Administrator, pg. 2

that she will be using her expertise to help counties statewide enhance their ability to administer elections with confidence,” said Kutscher.
Hayes says the move is bittersweet, noting how deeply she has valued her time serving Guadalupe County residents.
“It has been a great honor of my life to have been able to serve the citizens of Guadalupe County and be accepted as a part of this community. I am grateful for the trust and support from county leadership and employees who contributed to
the success of the Elections Office throughout all the challenges we have faced together. I am continually impressed with the passion the members of this community bring for quality elections, and I will miss our daily interactions,” said Hayes.
While she has had much success, she is most proud of the voter outreach efforts launched during her tenure.
“The voter outreach programs developed under my tenure have blossomed and matured into positive community forces to provide a window into the transparency, care, and excellence embodied in the election profession. These programs
would not have progressed so well and so smoothly without the members of Guadalupe County and the Elections Office team. Guadalupe County is a wonderful and vibrant area and I will miss working with the incredible members of this community and the Elections Office team on a daily basis. I am confident that the Elections Office will continue the tradition of excellence and great service to the community. Thank you, Guadalupe County,” said Hayes.
County officials say they are already working to fill the position as preparations continue for the upcoming elections.
sometimes you work through it easily and sometimes you don’t,’ said Ray.
Ray says the separation comes after months of rising concerns about negative interactions and public messaging that did not align with the sheriff’s office vision for collaboration and transparency.
Because he wanted the relationship to continue, he says he felt obligated to address those concerns about negative interactions directly. He says he did not want to sever ties, but to protect staff, maintain public trust, and reinforce the shelter’s mission.
“There’s a lot of historical relationships and there’s some hurt feelings along the way. Some of it is between our employees and some volunteer members in the group. Some of it’s the individual rescues themselves. There’s a lot of perspectives and like I said a lot of historical hurt feelings and that affects the day-to-day interactions sometimes. It’s really just because we’re people. And one person may not see an interaction the way another person saw the interaction. All you can do is sit down and talk about it. You can’t ignore it because if you ignore it, it just festers. That’s what we thought we were trying to do. It’s just like our daily lives. It’s like me talking to my wife or kids about some communication,
Also as mentioned, county leaders say the social media messaging used by Friends of Dogs in recent months also added tension. Ray says it did not have the solutions-driven approach that he expects from partners working inside a county-run facility. According to the sheriff, the goal was never to diminish the organization’s past contributions but to ensure the shelter’s public image reflects its ongoing progress and its commitment to saving as many animals as possible.
“We asked about the messaging to be more positive in nature. Again, you have competing perspectives in some regards. They would utilize the euthanasia and conditions of the animal shelter sometimes in order to prod adoptions because someone here is like ‘hey, these dogs are about to die. Euthanasia is going to happen today,’ and it creates that alarming effect and it probably did get people to come in and conduct adoptions but indirectly, it’s describing the sheriff’s office as the bad guy in all of this because unfortunately, we are the ones that have to carry out the euthanasia at times,” said Ray.

Ray says it’s important to also note that while euthanasia is a reality, it’s not the ultimate plan for the sheriff’s office.
“We have different responsibilities, right? So we only have so much shelter space and there are constituents within the county that expect the sheriff’s office to respond when they call and say, ‘hey I’ve got a stray dog in my crops,’ ‘there’s dogs getting into my chicken houses,’ or ‘they’re barking outside the fence,’ and so they expect the sheriff’s office to respond. And we do. We seize those animals at times, so we have to have space and we only have so much space to go around. We strive to get those animals adopted, but unfortunately it doesn’t happen. I’ll tell you another side of this story that has not been told, is we are often –– often ––25 or 30 dogs over our max capacity. We have doubled the kennels to try and make this space go as far as we possibly can and we do not euthanize unless we just absolutely have to. But unfortunately, it is a reality in this. I wish we could get around it. I don’t know what that answer is,” said Ray.
The sheriff’s office released a statement Monday expressing appreciation for Friends of Dogs’ years of service. In fact, earlier this year, the sheriff extended a special thank you and recognition to the group for their committed dedication.
While he is disappointed in the group’s decision to not stay, he again emphasizes the shelter’s mission and its commitment to continued services.
The office is also exploring new partnerships such as inmate programs and a probation-based support system, all in coordination with the commissioner’s court to ensure responsible use of county resources. He also says since taking
office, he has made some significant changes one of which is designating a dispatcher for the shelter so those animalrelated calls can be funneled accordingly. He also noted that the shelter is now staffed continuously during business hours -- an improvement aimed at “preventing the missed adoption opportunities that sometimes happened when the front doors were unexpectedly closed.” Plus, plans and funding talks are already in the works for a possible future expansion of the facility.
“Unfortunately, we weren’t ready for them to depart on Monday. We met as a team that day to explore, where do we go from here? As of today, Sergeant Travis Caddell who is the supervisor out there, he’s been talking to veterinary clinics all throughout our community about how we pay for these rabies shots and the various vaccines. How do we do that? I told him that I will find the money somehow –– you tell me what it’s going to cost once a month. What am I roughly looking at? So, I’m waiting on those numbers. We’re working with other rescues throughout our community to set up spay and neuter clinics and adoptions. We’ve set up another Facebook social media page, which even before they decided to depart, we were already going in that direction. The Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office has always adopted out animals. This route, Friends of Dogs, has not been the only mechanism for adopting animals. You, me, anybody can just walk into the shelter and say, ‘hey can I go look at these dogs,’ and adopt one directly from the sheriff’s office,’ said Ray.
The county’s animal shelter located just north of the Guadalupe County Jail is open to the public Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. As of press time, the Seguin Daily News was unable to receive a comment from the Friends of Dogs organization.

NFL Legend Bernie Kosar Undergoes Life-Saving Procedure
(Cleveland) -- NFL legend Bernie Kosar says he’s “out” and “feeling good” after undergoing a life-saving liver transplant Monday at Cleveland’s University Hospital. The 61-year-old former Browns quarterback was hospitalized for internal bleeding while awaiting transplant surgery. Kosar, who’d been on the waiting list for more than a year following a cirrhosis of the liver diagnosis, underwent seven procedures to stop internal bleeding prior to the transplant. He shared a video from his hospital bed following the surgery, saying he’s “ready to enjoy the rest of the week,” as well as the rest of his life. The former football pro spent most of his NFL career with Cleveland before joining the Dallas Cowboys and, finally, the Miami Dolphins.
Wegovy, Ozempic Prices Lowered
(Plainsboro, NJ) -- The prices of the popular weight loss drugs Wegovy and Ozempic are being lowered starting today. Novo Nordisk, the maker of both GLP-1 drugs, announced the monthly cost for each of the two drugs is now 349 dollars. That’s down from 499 dollars for those paying out-of-pocket, rather than using insurance. Novo Nordisk said the new pricing is “part of a larger strategy to expand access.” The drugs will be available at their new prices at 70-thousand pharmacies, including those at Walmart and Costco.
Heart Percentile Calculator Gauges Long-Term Risk Of Heart Disease
(Chicago, IL) -- A heart percentile calculator is designed to help young adults gauge their long-term risk of heart disease. Cardiologists at Northwestern Medicine developed the online calculator which they say is a first-of-its-kind tool. It forecasts an adult’s 30-year heart disease risk and shows where they rank among peers. The hope is that this device will trigger earlier prevention efforts amid rising diabetes and hypertension rates in young adults. The calculator is free, is offered online and is based on American Heart Association prevention guidelines.
Ethiopia Confirms Three Marburg Hemorrhagic Virus Deaths
(Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) -- Ethiopia is confirming three Marburg hemorrhagic virus deaths. This Marburg outbreak was first detected in neighboring South Sudan. The deadly virus is a cousin of Ebola, produces hemorrhaging and originates in fruit bats. Like Ebola, Marburg spreads though close contact with the bodily fluids of people who are infected. The World Health Organization says without treatment Marburg can be fatal in close to 90-percent of people who contract the virus.
