Swimming pool permits required in city of Seguin By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
can become "a safety issue." She says that's why the permit process also requires an enclosure.
(Seguin) - Before cooling off in your swimming pool at home, you might want to make sure that you have the proper permit. The city of Seguin's Code Compliance Department is once again reminding families to secure their permit for any above-ground or in-ground pool or spa. Jennifer Sourdellia, the public information officer for the city of Seguin, says Article 8 of Chapter 18 of the city's ordinance addresses swimming pools and spas.
"Everyone is wondering why we require a permit -- it's for safety reasons. We also require a 48 inch fence or enclosure be around the swimming pool also because summer in Texas is really really hot and we wouldn't want anyone's child accidentally wandering into someone else's yard and getting into a pool and falling in and possibly drowning. We definitely want to keep people safe and keep our citizens safe and all the children safe," said Sourdellia.
"I'm just going to let everyone know that this permit process is not something new. It has been around and in existence for a while and it has also been written in our city's ordinance for quite a long time. We understand that with the wave pool not open in the summer that some of our residents may be considering installing in ground or above ground pools and yes, a permit is required for any pool that is two foot or deeper. This also includes hot tubs and spas," said Although many might argue or question the permit, Sourdellia. Sourdellia says an unsecured swimming pool or spa
According to city officials, it should be noted that insurance "may not cover accidents or damages if swimming pool does not meet code." They suggest that each resident also discuss their swimming pool with their insurance provider. They say in the end, each resident having a swimming pool 24 inches or deeper is responsible for being safe and in compliance. Those wanting to know how to obtain a permit or who may have additional questions are asked to contact the city's permits department at 830-386-2230.

Vital Statistics Esperanza Ortiz Vasquez

“hope” in English. They did this “in hope” she would survive. Esperanza was born in San Antonio,TX on June 26 1930. Anacleto’s occupation took the family from Texas to Mexico and back to Texas but somewhere in there she met her future husband, Jesus Vasquez. She married “Chuy” and in time, had four children. When Jesus was killed in an auto accident, Hope became a widow with four children under the age of 10. She had always had a strong faith, but now it was time to employ her name with full force. Hope began a very very hard life of being a widow with no job, a one room house next to her father-in-law, and an education that ended in 3rd grade with which to raise four children. But she was not alone. She had her husband’s cousins nearby, her sister Velia in San Antonio and brother Rodolfo in Seguin. She thanks all of them for helping her raise her kids. She never has taken credit for herself but gave the glory to God for sending her help. Always strong in faith, Hope was active at her church, Virgen de Guadalupe Catholic Church. She was active in The Angels of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Cursillista group and the Guadalupanas as well as a long-time member of The Apostolic Movement of Schoenstatt.

U.S. Death Toll From COVID-19 Surpasses 100,000 (Baltimore, MD) -- More than 100-thousand people in this country have died from the coronavirus pandemic. Johns Hopkins University researchers say nearly one-point-seven million Americans have tested positive for COVID-19. Worldwide, five-point-six million people have tested positive and more than 352thousand have died.
Biden Reacts To 100K Coronavirus Deaths In U.S. (Undated) -- Joe Biden says 100-thousand coronavirus deaths in the U.S. is a number that should never have been reached. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee released a video on social media after hitting the milestone Wednesday. He called it one of those moments in history that will be "forever fixed in each of our hearts as shared grief." Biden blamed the Trump administration for the high death toll, noting one study that found acting just one week sooner would've save thousands. Biden has been very critical of the White House over its response to COVID-19.

Fauci: Hydroxychloroquine Not Effective Against Coronavirus
(Washington, DC) -- The nation's top doctor on infectious diseases says hydroxychloroquine [[ HIGH-drox-ee-klor-eh-quin ]] is not an effective treatment for COVID-19. Dr. Anthony Fauci [[ FOW-chee ]] became the first member of the Trump Administration to make that claim. President Trump has been promoting the anti-malaria drug for weeks as a possible treatment. Trump said that he's been taking it to keep from being infected. Fauci told CNN the scientific data is clear. However, he stopped short of calling for an outright ban of the drug.
Gottlieb: Unlikely There's A Vaccine For Masses This Year
(Washington, DC) -- Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb thinks it's unlikely there'll be a COVID-19 vaccine available for the masses this year. Dr. Gottlieb told CNBCthe nation will have to go through another cycle of virus outbreaks in the fall. He said a vaccine might be available on a limited basis, and then if one city has a large-scale outbreak. Dr. Gottlieb predicted that by the end of the year, drug companies should be able to produce the tens of millions of vaccines needed and begin vaccinating people in 2021. He said the challenge with this virus is that it appears at least one out of five people who contract it are asymptomatic.
