Guadalupe County burn ban takes effect, caution is advised Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – The Guadalupe County Commissioners Court has recently approved a 90-day burn ban for the unincorporated areas of the county. The action comes as the Keetch-Byram Drought Index, or KBDI, continues to climb across the region. The KBDI is a scale used to measure drought conditions and the potential for wildfires, ranging from zero to 800. A reading of 500 or higher is considered a threshold in which restrictions such as burning come into play. Patrick Pinder, Guadalupe County emergency management coordinator and fire marshal says the county’s current KBDI reading has surpassed that
threshold, making conditions very dangerous. “Fire departments are busy and so what this is — is just to implement the burn ban effective for 90 days. Currently in Guadalupe County, we’re at 629 on the KBDI. Bexar County is at 550, Comal County is at 585, Gonzales is 646, Hays County is 580 and Wilson is 626. Several counties around us have started to implement those burn bans,” said Pinder. Officials say those who violate the order which went into effect on Sept. 2, could face a criminal penalty. They say the Class C misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of up to $500.

Navarro ISD wraps up budget process (Geronimo) -- The Navarro ISD 2026-2027 budget process has officially wrapped up. As part of that process, the district announces a lower property tax rate and a balanced budget for the upcoming fiscal year. The approved budget overall includes $40.6 million for the General Fund, $2.2 million for the Child Nutrition Fund and $12.2 million for the Debt Service Fund. Navarro ISD Superintendent Dr. Mandy Epley says the school board approved a total tax rate of $1.1687 per $100 of property valuation. She says that’s down from the 2025-26 tax rate of $1.2228. “As we make plans with our budget, we are very much in a mindset of respect for our taxpayers. And so, to be able to ultimately lower that tax rate from last year was something we were very pleased to be able to approve and to approve a budget that was a budget that was not in deficit is also something we are extremely proud of,” said Epley. Epley says the new rate includes $0.6687 for Maintenance and Operations and $0.5000 for Interest and Sinking, which covers principal and interest on district debt, including the district’s new 2026 bond issue. Epley adds that the overall reduction was driven by a $0.0541 decrease in the Maintenance and Operations side of the tax rate. “We were able to go ahead and pass the 2026 bond, which allows for those expanded buildings as we manage our growth. It does take our INS tax rate to the maximum 50 cent, but we had that rate last year as well. And so, we kept our promise of not increasing that rate,” said Epley. The balanced budget includes the district’s previously approved compensation plan, which provides a 3 percent general pay increase at the midpoint for all employees. The plan also includes increased health insurance contributions and substitute pay parity. Meanwhile, Epley says the district is also considering its future by conservatively ensuring future positions – such as the 38.5 new staff positions that are included. “So as we watch our projections, we are mindful of needing to have class sizes that are appropriate for student learning. And as we monitor that growth
of the population, we are not only looking at that class size ratio, but we’re also looking at expanded programs. I do have reserve positions that the school board has approved, but we will not release those unless those students come to the district and then that position is necessary because that funding from the state allows us to be able to go ahead and hire an additional teacher. So, it is very tightly tied to that increase in enrollment,” said Epley. Epley like other district officials say she appreciates the district’s financial team which was able to develop a sound plan despite a number of challenges associated with legislative and budgetary changes. “I am very proud of the work that our school board and our district have done to be able to have a budget come forward that is not in deficit. We are very cognizant that the taxpayers are making sacrifices in paying their taxes and do that to make sure that we have a quality district. And so, as we look at our expenses, we’re putting those dollars where it is going to impact students the most,” said Epley. Additional information on the budget can be found on the district’s website.

Matadors Look for Fresh Start as District Play Opens Against Manor Reilly Chestnut
SEGUIN — Two difficult weeks have put Seguin through plenty of adversity to begin the Gary Gutierrez era. Friday night offers the Matadors something considerably more important: a fresh start. Seguin returns to Matador Stadium Friday at 7 p.m. to host the Manor Mustangs in the District 13-5A Division I opener for both teams. The Matadors enter district play 0-2 after losses to New Braunfels and Hays, while Manor arrives at 1-1 under first-year head coach Peter Hopkins. The records, Gutierrez emphasized, no longer matter nearly as much as what begins Friday. “There are teams that are 2-0 right now that will not have an opportunity to be in the playoffs,” Gutierrez said. “There are teams that are 0-2 that will be district champions.” Seguin’s goal now is simple. “Our goal is to be 1-0 in district.” Getting there will require the Matadors to solve an offensive problem that Gutierrez has repeatedly boiled down to one word: consistency. Seguin has scored seven points through its first two games, falling 38-7 against New Braunfels before being shut out 54-0 at Hays. One source of that inconsistency has been unavoidable. Seguin started sophomore Avery Franklin at quarterback in the opener before having to turn to Matthew Hoblin last week when Franklin was unavailable. Now Franklin is back. “Week one we started one quarterback, and then week two we started a different quarterback,” Gutierrez said. “Not because we wanted to, just we had to. That was the situation we were dealt. But [Avery’s] back, so we’re back together.” That could be a significant development for a Seguin offense still trying to establish its identity. Gutierrez, however, appears less concerned with finding one player to transform the offense than getting all 11 players functioning together. The Matadors have yet to establish sustained offensive rhythm through two weeks. Against Manor, Gutierrez wants Seguin to move the chains, control possession and prevent the Mustangs’ athletes from receiving additional opportunities. That becomes particularly important because Manor has already shown what it can do when its offense gets going.
The Mustangs opened the season with a 30-14 victory over Elgin before being held to a field goal in a 14-3 loss to Manor New Tech last Friday. Like Seguin, Manor is adjusting to a new head coach, with Hopkins taking over the program this year. “They’re in the same situation in terms of they’ve had a coaching change,” Gutierrez said. “During the season they’re finding their way like we are. We’re both in Week 3 together as we’re learning each other.” That makes Friday an interesting meeting between two programs attempting to find their footing under new leadership at the same time. Gutierrez expects Manor to challenge Seguin with its athleticism, particularly on the ground. His defensive objective is to take that strength away and make the Mustangs find another way to consistently move the football. “Manor is known for having athletes throughout their history,” he said. “Containing their run game, forcing them to throw the ball will be a point of emphasis defensively.” Seguin has found some encouraging signs defensively despite the difficult start. Gutierrez specifically pointed to John Hernandez and Nathan Walter as two young players who have begun establishing themselves during their first varsity seasons. More important to Gutierrez than their production, however, has been the way they have approached their work. “They’re leaders,” Gutierrez said. “One thing about them is they’re consistent. They’re good kids, and their consistency is what’s leading them to get better and better and better every week.” That word — consistency — connects almost everything Gutierrez wants to see Friday. Consistency at quarterback. Consistency moving the football. Consistency against Manor’s running game. Consistency through the inevitable changes in momentum. And, perhaps most importantly for a program undergoing considerable change, consistency in how Seguin responds when something goes wrong. “Games are like roller coasters,” Gutierrez said. “You have your roller-coaster ride of momentum up and down. Pushing through the down moment, if momentum turns away from us, finding a way to fight to get it back.” The Matadors have already experienced plenty
of those down moments. They turned the football over multiple times against New Braunfels before allowing 54 unanswered points at Hays. Through two games, Seguin has been outscored 92-7. Yet none of those 92 points count toward the district standings. Friday begins the portion of the schedule that determines whether Seguin reaches the postseason, and Gutierrez believes the difficult first two weeks have revealed something about his young team that a pair of comfortable victories might not have. “We’ve learned that we can count on each other through thick and thin because we’ve been through some thin,” Gutierrez said. “My belief systems and our belief systems haven’t changed and are not going to change.” The district opener also carries additional significance because it falls on Sept. 11, exactly 25 years after the terrorist attacks of 2001. Gutierrez said he still remembers where he was that day and views Friday as an opportunity to recognize both those who were lost and those who have served the country since. “It’s a great day to honor who we are as a country and who we’ve lost at that tragic moment,” Gutierrez said. “It’s also a day to honor our men and women who serve our country, and who have served and who will serve.” For Seguin, the football portion of the night comes down to whether two weeks of lessons can finally become four quarters of execution. Gutierrez said the Matadors have produced one of their better weeks of practice, particularly with an improved tempo. Now he wants to see that translate across offense, defense and special teams. “The biggest thing I want to see is kids playing extremely hard together and putting together with consistency everything we’ve practiced,” Gutierrez said. “Just putting it all together from special teams to offense to defense. “I think we have a great opportunity to really show that this week.” After two weeks of learning, changing lineups and absorbing adversity, Friday provides the Matadors their first opportunity to show it when the games count toward November. Kickoff: Manor (1-1, 0-0) at Seguin (0-2, 0-0), Friday, Sept. 11, 7 p.m., Matador Stadium.

FDNY Union Heads Accuse City Of Lying About 9-11 Air Quality (New York, NY) -- Union heads representing New York City firefighters say lives may have been saved and more precautions would have been taken had city officials revealed results of toxic air quality tests soon after the 9-11 terror attacks. Jim Brosi, the president of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association says city officials lied when they said the air was safe and failed to prioritize proper safety equipment during cleanup. Brosi was reacting to the release of new documents showing the air was toxic and asbestos was still being detected up to ten months after the attacks. Union heads say had city air quality tests been provided soon after 9-11, it would have led to earlier diagnoses and treatment of 9-11 related illnesses. Ebola Cases In Congo Tops 66-Hundred (Geneva) -- Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo have now topped 66-hundred with more than 32-hundred deaths. That’s according to the World Health Organization which says the DRC needs five-thousand more workers as the deadly disease continues to spread across the country. The outbreak remains uncontrolled despite an influx of humanitarian funding, personal protective equipment and new health centers. Vaccine trials are underway for this relatively new strain of Ebola, called Bundigbayo. Right now there are no effective treatments. Florida Health Officials Investigate Possible Dengue Fever Death (Tampa, FL) -- Florida’s Health Department is investigating what could be the first dengue fever-related death in the Tampa Bay areas in about a century. The family of 80-year-old Gay Small says she contracted the disease, which is spread by mosquitoes, and died five days later. Her daughter says it feels very unfair because her mother worked hard to stay healthy by walking and eating right. Hillsborough County has 59 confirmed cases of locally-acquired dengue, far more than any other Florida county. County officials have stepped up mosquito spraying and are urging residents to use repellent and cover arms and legs. Healthy Pregnancies Rely On More Than Good Prenatal Care (Detroit, MI) -- Healthy pregnancies rely on more than good prenatal care. During this Infant Mortality Awareness Month, Dr. Tara Walker, a nursing professor at Wayne State University says optimum outcomes involve looking at the whole person. She says access to nutritious food, reliable transportation, stable housing and financial security all impact the health of a mother and her baby. Dr. Walker says healthcare providers need to take a holistic approach, asking questions about what’s going on in a pregnant woman’s life and connecting her, if needed, to the right resources.
