Seguin seeking to be the town for a HGTV Home Town Takeover contest

Community to gather for video nomination project this Saturday

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(Seguin) -- Seguin apparently wants HGTV to come in and takeover "our town." In their quest to capture the attention of Ben and Erin Napier of the hit series Home Town, residents this weekend will rallying in front of cameras in hopes of having the couple choose Seguin for its upcoming series "Home Town Takeover."

Takeover Citizens will be gathering this Saturday in hopes of being selected for HGTV's Home Town Takeover project featuring Ben and Erin Napier of the hit series Home Town. The contest is looking to spruce up multiple buildings in one lucky town. The citizens will gather for a special video to be submitted with an application from Seguin.

A Central Park gathering for all Seguin residents has been scheduled for this Saturday afternoon in downtown Seguin.

The purpose behind the gathering is to help capture on video exactly why Seguin deserves to be selected for the upcoming television project. The nomination and video project is being spearheaded and produced by local videographer and Seguin resident Denise Crettenden.

Crettenden says with the support of dozens of other interested folks, the work to have Seguin selected for what HGTV is calling "the biggest renovation project ever" begins this weekend.

Seguin looks to host Home Town Takeover Community Rally this weekend HGTV, continued from page 1

who love Seguin to come down and just be a part of it. Part of it is just numbers. We just want to show the people, show the enthusiasm and just show that we would be a great pick for this program. I think it would be great to get that many people who love Seguin in one place. We are going to get some great video of that.

We may get little interview snippets with people individually but mainly just a video of this crowd of people who are enthusiastic about their town," said Crettenden. "But, what we'd like to do this weekend with the rally is show the enthusiasm that people have for our hometown. We want to show them that we would be a great place for them to come and make the show. We are a small town but we have a big heart and we want to showcase that this weekend."

"There's a husband and wife and they have been redoing their town in Mississippi, their hometown and now, they are looking for another small town somewhere else in the United States to do so similar things in and so, they are looking for towns under 40,000 in population. We fit the bill for that and who maybe need some sprucing up in their historic district and some of the different descriptions of this program say they are looking for a mixture of homes and commercial businesses, public spaces -- they are looking for interesting architecture or historical things, things that they can really get in there and make a difference on it. I think we fit the bill for that. When I read the description, it just screamed Seguin to me. I think we are about to have quite a bit of population growth here and I would love to see us really working to keep our downtown -- the interesting small place that it is and a vibrant center for retail and restaurants and all kinds of things -- just a place where people really want to go," said Crettenden.

Crettenden says this weekend's video, however, is only the first step in getting the recognition that Seguin deserves.

"We have to give a description of our town. We have to send some pictures but one of the main things that they wanted was a video. So, there's going to be aspects of where we are going to take a little video tour of Seguin. We are going to look at some of the properties that are success stories and also some things that we think will be a great project for this show," said Crettenden.

See HGTV, page 3

Crettenden says although she will be behind the camera, the project is Seguin's and encourages everyone to show their support and be a part of nominating the city.

HGTV wants to makeover a small town

HGTV, continued from page 2

Although the city meets all the criteria for the nomination, it's the uniqueness of the town that Crettenden hopes will help seal the deal for HGTV producers.

Seguin looking to be chosen

of Seguin and its Seguin Main Street Program only reaffirms that the nomination is a community project.

Excited that citizens have come out to show their support is Main Street Director Kyle Kramm.

Kramm says just having citizens come together is a win for Seguin.

"I think part of it is just the heritage of Seguin. We've been here for so long. We have such an interesting mix of people that I think that makes us unique (and) the fact that we really have invested in our historic district.

We've invested in our downtown and we do have those success stories and it would be interesting for them that we are not starting from scratch. We are not starting from square one. We have gone a certain distance with this and we can show how far we've come and this would just be the icing on the cake. This would be getting us to the finish line of really revitalizing that part of town and something that also might entice the producers of the show is we do have some really interesting architecture. We have some really interesting history behind some of the buildings and we have some groups who are already working on some of buildings and some things downtown and so I think that mix makes us perfect for this show and I would just love to showcase what is beautiful about Seguin for the whole country," said Crettenden.

"You know Main Street doesn't always need to be the driving force but we can always partner with people to make things happen and that's really what we are looking to do here is partner with this group of volunteers and that way, we can preserve our historic architecture and still make the improvements to some of our buildings around the square and in our downtown district that still needs a little bit of love still," said Kramm.

Like Crettenden, Kramm says he too is hoping for a full house this Saturday afternoon in downtown Seguin.

"Hopefully, it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes and it's going to be a gorgeous afternoon to be in downtown Seguin so why not take advantage of that and just have some fun and just show the support that you have for Seguin," said Kramm.

The Home Town Takeover Community Rally in Central Park will get underway at 2 p.m.

Saturday.

Participants are encouraged to wear their Seguin and community pride if possible.

Crettenden says she's especially excited to have the city's full support in pursuing this nomination.

Vela beats buzzer after Twitero steal to lift Seguin boys over Harlandle in OT (Seguin) - Joseph Vela banked in a transition runner as time expired to give the Seguin boys basketball team a 61-59 overtime win over San Antonio-Harlandale in Tuesday's District 26-5A clash at Goldie Harris Gym. Harlandale had the ball with a chance to set up a potential game winning shot with 10.58 seconds to play.

The Indians dialed up a high screen-androll for point guard Chris Benavidez out beyond the three-point line, Seguin's Gerrit Twitero came up with a steal when Benavidez lost control of his dribble, and Twitero fired a pass downcourt to Vela on the fast break.

Vela caught it with three seconds to play, dribbled toward the lane, and softly dropped the winner in off the glass from a step beyond layup range.

Coronavirus Death Toll Rises

FDA Warns Purell To Stop Claiming It Can Eliminate The Flu

(Beijing) -- The death toll from the coronavirus in China has passed 100. China's health officials say at least 106 people have died from the respiratory illness. Thousands of others have been infected. The disease has found its way to the U.S. with five confirmed cases so far. Dozens of people are being tested for the illness, but the CDC notes the coronavirus hasn't spread through human-to-human contact here. All of the U.S. patients were recently in the area of China where the outbreak is centralized.

(Akron, OH) -- A popular hand sanitizer is being warned to stop saying it can fight off the flu. The FDA says Purell's claims to help eliminate the flu, MRSA or Ebola are unproven. It sent a warning letter pointing out the claims basically compare over-the-counter sanitizer to prescription drugs. The products at issue include Purell's advanced gel along with the gentle and free foam. The FDA says these products are commonly sold for schools and offices.

US Monitors Dozens For Possible Coronavirus Infections

CDC: More Than Half Of Flu Cases Hitting Kids, Young Adults

(Undated) -- U.S. health officials are monitoring over a hundred people for the coronavirus. The CDC said dozens of people are still undergoing tests to see if they've come down with the respiratory illness. Five cases of the disease have been confirmed in the U.S., but those people had all recently visited China, where the outbreak is centralized. So far, there haven't been cases of human-to-human transmission in the U.S.

(Atlanta, GA) -- The CDC says more than half of flu cases this season are hitting children and adults under 25.

It estimates there've been more than 15-million flu illnesses this season with 82-hundred deaths. Fifty-four children have died of the flu including two students at the Utah Military Academy. Flu is widespread in 35 states, plus New York City and Puerto Rico.

Timothy “Tim” King Hartzog, Sr.

Tim served as a rigger, stuffing parachutes for himself and fellow guardsman. After his training brought him back to Texas, Tim began working for his brother Wayne, in the family grocery store in Lockhart, TX, for what would be a 30 year career in the grocery business.

Shortly thereafter, Tim met and fell for Lois Marie Groeschel, who he married on June 21, 1970, going on to have two sons, Timothy King, Jr. and Terry Keith.

After a few years in Lockhart, the family would move to Luling, TX in 1972 where Tim would run another family grocery store and raise his family.

When he wasn’t working, Tim enjoyed being outdoors, whether doing yard work, fixing anything and everything – whether his, friends or neighbors’ stuff - fishing, as well as an unending passion for golf, which consumed almost every afternoon throughout his retirement. If not for a lifetime of obviously defective putters, Tim would have approached being a scratch golfer.

Beyond his outdoor endeavors, Tim loved his wife Lois of 49 years like no other.

He could and would do anything

to make sure she was cared for and truly was the most precious gift of his life. For many years, they took an annual trip together with Tim’s mother, brothers and spouses, taking them to destinations around the world, having 30+ years of pictures and memories of great times together.

OBITS, continued

Dr. Kenneth Edward Tiemann

Dr. Kenneth Edward Tiemann (age 90) passed peacefully from this earth on January 22, 2020 at Brookdale Spicewood Springs Care facility in Austin after battling congestive heart and kidney failure.

Kenneth was born on a farm outside of Seguin, Texas, the second of 3 children, to William Edward Tiemann and Helen Marie Willmann Tiemann. He was baptized and confirmed at Emanuel's Lutheran Church in Seguin. He attended school at the historic "Tiemann School," one of the "original" turn of the century 1 room wooden framed school houses built in 1903 on land donated by his grandfather Theodore Tiemann.

The school is listed and plaqued in the Texas Historical Register.

Kenneth played high school football for the Seguin Matadors and upon graduation attended Texas Lutheran University (then College) in Seguin where he continued his football career for the TLC Bulldogs. This is where he met the love of his life, Charlene Ann Nelle, at the Varsity Inn (not a hotel, but a hang out for TLC college students).

Charlene and Kenneth had much in common. Both blue-eyed blond, good-looking of German-Lutheran descent and raised on small farms, they had a shared goal of succeeding in life and never returning to the farm. Kenneth, when asked about Charlene, said “I would have never had the courage to ask her out. She asked me out to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. And it was her idea that we

WWW.SEGUINTODAY.COM marry,” which occurred September 3, 1950.

Once Kenneth finished the 2 year college, he transferred to the University of Texas at Austin to study Pharmacy. Life was a struggle. There were stories about staying in a 1 room unheated sleeping porch, splitting 25 cent chopped beef sandwiches at the Student Union and only possessing 1 pair of trousers. Charlene worked at a bank while Kenneth finished his degree (1952) and then Kenneth worked at the Student Health Center (19551961) while Charlene finished her degree. He also earned his Master's Degree in Hospital Pharmacy (1959) during this time, and served in the Naval Reserves for 8 years, receiving an Honorable Discharge in March 1950.

Daughter Terri Lynn came in 1957 while during the same year purchasing their first home on West 49th ½ in Austin. 1960 proved to be an important year in their young lives. Scraping together money from parents and relatives, they purchased Hyde Park Pharmacy on Guadalupe Street from Bohls & Kuhn. Again another big year due to the arrival of their second daughter, Lisa Kathryn. Also, due to the "Veteran's Land Scandal" Kenneth & Charlene were able to purchase at auction 1,000 +/- acres of Guadalupe County land and justly named "The Big T Ranch."

The same year Dr. Tiemann began his almost 60 year career in the profession of pharmacy. While owning and operating a community pharmacy, he also directed pharmacy services at Brown Schools for Exceptional Children as well as the Westminster Hospital in west Austin. He served as pharmacy consultant to more than 30 nursing homes and extended care facilities.

Dr. Tiemann played a crucial role in developing early regulations of consultant pharmacy practice. He became a recognized authority on the provision of pharmaceutical service in nursing homes. He served his profession in scores of leadership roles, including presidencies of the Capital Area and Texas Pharmaceutical Associations, TPA Pharmacist of the Year, the APhA Board of Trustees, 2 committees of the National Association of Retail Druggists and president of the American Pharmaceutical Association.

In 1974 Kenneth rejoined the faculty of UT Pharmacy School as an adjunct professor and instructed students for many years in consulting and other clinical aspects of pharmacy practice. He was an early member of the Advisory Council of the Pharmaceutical Foundation, precursor to the current Pharmacy Advisory Council serving from 1963-1969. He is featured in the book “Pharmacy's Foundation in Texas: A History of the College of Pharmacy 1893-1976" listing his contributions to the College.

During all of his highly visible positions his steadfast message was “to preserve, protect and defend the profession of pharmacy". He was said to be “passionate in the love of the profession of pharmacy”.

In 1974 he was awarded he Daniel B. Smith Award- the highest honor the Academy of General Practice of Pharmacy that can be bestowed on a community practitioner. Said by AGP President Donald O. Fedder“Mr. Tiemann has established himself as a leader in the profession since his student days. His contribution to pharmacy practice and education, and his continuous service to organized pharmacy at the local, state and national levels leave no doubt that he is totally dedicated to the enrichment of the profession".

Dr. Tiemann continued his pharmacy practice and education earning his PhD in Healthcare Administration, lecturing students, etc. eventually selling Hyde Park Pharmacy to American Pharmaceutical Services. He continued to work as a nursing home consultant for APS until age 82.

The culmination of his professional career occurred in 2012 when Kenneth was honored and received the Legend of Pharmacy Award from UT College of Pharmacy. This award is given to persons whose contributions to the profession of pharmacy are "Above & beyond and considered legendary”. What a send off!

Kenneth never really retired. When he wasn't working – he was still working. He found time to be very active at his church- St. Martins Lutheran Church in Austin serving on numerous committees and eventually President of the Church Council. He was a distinguished alumnus at TLU, establishing a scholarship fund for theology stu-

dents. Kenneth was also an active alumnus and supporter of Longhorn sports, especially football - Hook 'em Horns!

He was an avid supporter of his girls, Terri and Lisa, through their school years and Camp Mystic years. He loved hunting trips, especially the annual trip to the Glass Mountains to hunt mule deer with his west Texas friends. He was honored to be a member of the “Straight 8” a group of 8 old friends in Seguin who would meet monthly to "Pontificate and prevaricate.”

By far, however, the majority of his life non-working/working time was spent with his wife of 68 years Charlene at the ranch. Having developed half of this land in Guadalupe County themselves (which was no small task) they enjoyed the other half immensely.

They raised cows (Piedmontese, Brahma, Black Angus, as well as Appaloosa Horses), they built Aframe cabins, rode horses, sold cows, hunted deer and dove, joined Adopt-A-Highway and “Jeeped around” on His & Her tractors.

Kenneth always told his girls they would find black gold (oil) under that ranch. What they did find was the dome of the Carrizo aquifer which is blessed with lots, and lots of sweet water. Instead of oil wells, Kenneth & Charlene developed this desolate, sandy land into very productive & commercially viable water wells.

For those of you who knew him, he could not converse very long without mentioning his family.

Daughter Terri followed in his footsteps graduating from UT Pharmacy School with High Honors. She went on to study medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and is board certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. Terri has a private Rheumatology practice in New Braunfels, Texas.

Like her father, Lisa is also a UT graduate – BSN, RN who worked in Houston 24 years as a Legal Nurse Consultant. Twelve years ago Lisa moved to Austin to care for Charlene & Kenneth as their health began to fail. During this period Lisa has been employed at St. David's - North Austin Medical Center.

Terri's son and #1 grandson William James “BJ” Steele III is

13 Chief Neurosurgery Resident at Methodist Hospital in Houston.

Charlene and Kenneth were their happiest cheering for their grandson at all of his many sporting events (baseball, basketball, track and most of all football) He and his wife Melissa Letsos Steele – BSN, RN added 3 great-grandchildren to the family- William James (Wills) Steele IV (4), Park Edward Steele (2) and Millicent (Millie) Letsos Steele (6 mo).

Kenneth lost his dear wife Charlene on December 11, 2018. He was also preceded in death by his parents, his brother Dr. William Herald Tiemann and his nephew Andrew Tiemann.

He is survived by his sister Helen Marie Kolb of Seguin, Texas, Daughter Dr. Terri Tiemann Meeks and her husband Charles Shannon Meeks of New Braunfels, Texas, daughter Lisa Kathryn Tiemann of Austin, Texas, grandson Dr. William James Steele III and wife Melissa Letsos Steele of Houston, Texas, their children William James Steele IV, Park Edward Steele and Millicent Letsos Steele. Also survived by nieces and nephews Drew and Margie Traeger, Kevin and Elizabeth Kolb, Steve and Malia Tiemann, Karen and Bill Blackwell, many loving cousins and a host of other family and friends.

The family would like to give special thanks to Connie, Cynthia, Olivia, Kimberly, and Cordelia for their loving care, compassion, and friendship as his personal care providers.

A visitation will be held at CookWalden Funeral Home on February 1, 2020 starting at 2:00 p.m. – 6100 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin Texas, 78752. A funeral service will additionally be held at St. Martin’s Lutheran Church on February 2, 2020 starting at 2:00 p.m., with reception to follow – 606 West 15th Street, Austin Texas, 78701.
