Prop 1 on Nov. 4 ballot gains more local support as TSTC plans major Seguin campus
Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- One of the amendments on the state’s constitutional amendment election ballot is getting lots of support from local business leaders in Seguin. Proposition One calls for the creation of an endowment that will provide a better funding mechanism for Texas State Technical College (TSTC). TSTC already operates a small campus near the New Braunfels Municipal Airport, but has plans to relocate and build a much larger campus on Highway 46 in Seguin.
Chester Jenke, president of the Seguin Area Chamber of Commerce, says Proposition One would give TSTC a better way to access the funding that it needs to help students get trained for their future careers.
“Proposition One is Senate Joint Resolution 59, which created the opportunity to create a constitutional amendment that creates a permanent technical institution infrastructure fund. That’s a long phrase for saying it creates an endowment using the general fund, which is money that’s already there-about $850 million. TSTC gets to use those, for lack of better terms, interest off of those funds to create new programs and to fund programs that are already in place,” said Jenke.
The approval of Proposition One would streamline their efforts to get funding for capital projects, like the one that’s planned here in Seguin.

Tuesday’s Made in Seguin Day gave students a firsthand look at local career opportunities
Darren Dunn
(Seguin) -- A large group of area high school students got a firsthand look at what their futures could hold -right here at home.
The Seguin Economic Development Corporation (SEDC), together with local school districts, hosted the annual Made in Seguin Day on Tuesday as part of National Manufacturing Month.
Students from Seguin, Navarro, and Marion high schools -- along with students from Southwest Preparatory and the Mercer Blumberg Learning Center -- spent the day touring 12 Seguin manufacturing plants, including AmeriTex Pipe & Products, Alamo Group, Caterpillar, Cavco Texas, Central States Manufacturing, CMC Steel Texas, Hexcel Corporation, Niagara Bottling, Rave Gears, Schaeffler, Texas State Technical College (TSTC), and Tomball Controls.
The program was designed to show students the wide range of skilled, high-tech, and well-paying jobs available in their own community, especially for those not planning to go straight into college or the military and who will be looking to start their careers immediately after high school.
Cavco Seguin Plant Manager J. Layne Womble said that they the program is importnat, and it helps students learn more about the opportunities that exist here in the Seguin area.
“Cavco Seguin is always focused on the youth of Seguin and providing a long-term career path for anyone interested. We have hired many Seguin High School students that are still with us and building their career. As an individual that began his career immediately after high school, I can tell you that you can build a career that is satisfying and provides well for you and your family. All you have to do is apply yourself, learn the craft and contribute to the team effort selflessly,” said Womble.
Seguin’s manufacturing base includes more than 8,400 jobs, one of the highest per-capita totals in the nation. Organizers said the experience opened eyes and changed futures by helping students discover local career pathways in areas like robotics, welding, and engineering.
Now in its seventh year, Made in Seguin Day continued its mission of connecting students with opportunity -and strengthening the city’s future workforce by showing them that great careers can start right here at home.
Texas Attorney General sues Johnson & Johnson over Tylenol, citing autism risk claims
(Austin) -- The state of Texas is suing the makers of Tylenol.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday repeated claims made by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying that use of the pain reliever by pregnant women “leads to a significantly increased risk of autism and other disorders.”
“We’re suing Johnson & Johnson for the distribution of Tylenol without disclosing the potential side effects,” said Paxton.
The lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson alleges that Tylenol -- known generically as acetaminophen -- was marketed as safe for pregnant women and claims the company violated Texas consumer protection laws.
“For decades, Johnson & Johnson willfully ignored and attempted to silence the science that prenatal and early childhood exposure to their acetaminophen products can cause Autism and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children. Despite being well aware of this fact, Tylenol was marketed as a completely safe pain medication for pregnant women, violating Texas’s consumer protection laws. The considerable body of evidence demonstrating these dangers was recently highlighted by the Trump
TSTC, continued.
“Currently, they have to go back to the legislature every two years and ask for dollars and cents to do some of these larger projects that they may have, such as possibly the Seguin campus located at Highway 46 and Cordova Road. So, this kind of creates a little bit of a shortcut, if you will, to get those funds into their hands to where they can react to those technical changes and that technology that’s happening today. which may be old technology in two years down the road when they finally get the approval from the legislature to do that. So, it’s a winwin for all,” said Jenke.
TSTC provides real-world training that allows students to get into high-demand jobs across the state. Jenke says that’s why this is such a good investment for the state to make, and it’s why he hopes that voters will approve Proposition One.
“The number one thing that TSTC brings to the table is those technical courses that seem to be the
Administration,” stated a press release from the attorney general’s office.
However, the World Health Organization wrote last month that there is currently no conclusive scientific evidence showing a link.
“Extensive research has been undertaken over the past decade, including large-scale studies, looking into links between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism. At this time, no consistent association has been established,” said a statement from WHO officials.
Johnson & Johnson also maintains that the drug is safe for use during pregnancy.
gold star for all of those technical jobs, whether it be locally at CMC, Caterpillar, or whether it be on a statewide level when you’re talking about the Samsung folks and some of those folks up in the Sweetwater area that do those technical skills on energy projects. So again, I think the biggest takeaway that I got from having a conversation with the TSTC Chancellor, Mike Reeser, was that they have a 100 percent moneyback guarantee for their graduating students if they do not get a job in the field that they are trained in. And he put a cherry on top of that and said, ‘by the way, we have not yet had to refund a dollar of anybody’s tuition.’ So, that’s pretty successful and that’s pretty bold on their part to say, ‘I’ll give you your money back if you don’t get a job in that career field that we’re training you for,” said Jenke.
Jenke is not alone in his public support. The chamber’s board of directors has long been a supporter of this effort. He says it’s important for communities like Seguin and it’s
important for the people of Texas.
“The Chamber Board got behind this early, even before we knew that TSTC was planning a campus right here in Guadalupe County that would serve the region of Guadalupe and Como counties -simply because it provides technical training which puts dollars back into our economy,” said Jenke.
Proposition One is one of 17 constitutional amendments on the November 4 ballot. Early voting is currently underway and runs through this Friday.

New Menopause Drug That Targets Hot Flashes Without Hormones Gets FDA Approval
(undated) -- The USDA is approving a once-a-day pill that works without hormones to prevent hot flashes in menopausal women. The drug works by blocking the brain chemicals responsible for hot flashes. It becomes one of the first drugs that doesn’t use hormones to hit the market. While hormone therapy can be effective for some women, those with certain medical histories are advised against hormonal options. The drug is set to hit the shelves in the United States in November under the brand name Lynkuet.
NCAA Loses Concussion Lawsuit
(Orangeburg Co., SC) -- The governing body of college football is being ordered to pay millions in a concussion lawsuit. A jury said the NCAA must pay 18-million-dollars to former South Carolina State University player Robert Geathers [[ geh-thers ]]. The 68-year-old played in the 70’s and has trouble dressing himself and making meals. The South Carolina jury found the NCAA negligent in not revealing a risk it’s known about for decades. The NCAA has indicated it will appeal the ruling.
Study: Fitness Apps Undermine Motivation For Some Users
(London) -- A new study says fitness apps may be hurting your fitness journey. The British Journal of Health Psychology reported that researchers found people feel a lot of blame and shame when using fitness apps and these emotions can harm both motivation and health. The study analyzed nearly 14-thousand posts about five popular fitness apps on X. The apps were MyFitnessPal, Strava, WW, Workouts by Muscle Booster, Fitness Coach & Diet and FitCoach. Results showed that users reported shame at having to log unhealthy foods, irritation at notifications to log calories or reduce sugar consumption and disappointment at slow progress on targets set by the apps.
Divorce, Separation May Increase Kids’ Risk Of Psoriasis
(Linkoping) -- A new study says divorced or separated parents could triple the risk of a child developing psoriasis later in life. Researchers said the severe stress caused by changes in family dynamics might stress a child’s immune system in ways that add to their chances of the autoimmune skin disease. For the study, researchers tracked data on over 16-thousand children participating in a Swedish health study, noting stressful life factors at ages one, three, five and eight. Out of the 16-thousand, 121 were later diagnosed with psoriasis. Researchers found that kids had a tripled risk of psoriasis if they experienced a big change in family structure in the first year of life.
