Seguin Job Shadow Day gives students a close look at local careers By Darren Dunn

(Seguin) -- Local employers are giving students from Seguin, Navarro and Marion high schools a first hand lesson in how they do their business. Organizers say approximately 150 students participated in this year's Job Shadow Day, organized by the Seguin Economic Development Corporation, the Seguin Area Chamber of Commerce and the CTE programs at local schools. Each of the students got to pick one of

the job shadow opportunities available. Carlos Moreno, the owner of Lonestar Home Solutions, says the job shadow program is a good idea, and he was eager to have his company be a part of it. "Kids are our future and I think we need to continue to invest in them but specifically in our trade, construction. It seems that it is in a downward trend with kids maybe not thinking there's opportunities in construction or just a hands on approach

whether it's an electrician or plumber. We just wanted to open our business to really show them that there is a lot out there in the construction industry from estimating to design to actually installation of items but also to put ourselves out there because we are always looking for good high school students, college students to help take us to the next level as well," said Moreno.

room, which is the former Campbell Floors location on College Street. They also showed them how they take on design, renovation and construction projects.

Summer Knight, a senior at Marion High School, says she was surprised to hear just how many services were offered by Lonestar Home Solutions. She says the job shadow program allowed her to learn something new.

"I just wanted to see what kind of business they run because I'm more into business management and sales -- learning more about

Navarro High School Senior Jesus Vielma was the third student on the tour. He says the job shadow program will definitely help him to get prepared for the future.

floor design and all of that," said Vielma. Moreno says it was a honor welcome the students into his business. He says he wanted to show them what they do, but he says it was also important for them to understand that there are lots of opportunities available to them right here in their hometown. Moreno says he once stood where those students are now, and he thinks the job shadow program would have been helpful to him. SEEâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;JOB SHADOW, page 3

"I'm exploring job options and saw something that I thought I might be interested in so just came to see what exactly they are all about," said Knight. Javier Chavez, a senior at Navarro High School, also shared some of his thoughts on the program and his day spent at the business. "I'm kind of undecided still on what I wanted to do in the future and I just thought maybe give it a chance on the construction and remodeling and learn a little more about it," said Chavez.

"The reason why we are charging $1 for the hamburger is that it kind of represents our portion of what the farmers and ranchers get out of a hamburger. We get like 19 cents out of a dollar so that's the other thing we are trying to emphasize is that there is a lot of other people that are involved before it gets to your table a lot of times so we are just the producers and we are just trying to reach out and say hello," said Friesenhahn.

(Seguin) -- The purchase of soup in Seguin this weekend will help make a difference thousands of miles away. The Soup Soul fundraiser is an annual effort organized by members of WATCCH(watch), Inc., a non-profit organization founded by a set of caring individuals in Seguin. WATCCH stands for What About The Children Children's Home in Uganda, Africa. Linda Redix, the vice-president of the group, says money from the fundraiser goes to support the children's home that was created following a mission trip in 2011. She says since then, a number of children have been rescued and protected.

"But our children that are over there - our children that are orphaned -they don't have any family members.

The prices will be according to the size that we get and we will have cornbread also and desserts will be available with that at Arlan's Supermarket and Mr. Lopez has always been so wonderful with letting us have our fundraisers there," said Redix. Redix says this weekend's soup sale also serves as an awareness effort and to help better share the group's future plans with the Seguin community. "They can also learn more. We'll have photographs there with us. We will have information, pamphlets about what we have done, what we are seeking to do in the future. We have just such great plans for these children and for the organization but we are taking baby steps but we are growing and we have had just such tremendous people that have supported us and who sponsored us over the years," said Redix. The Soup Fundraiser will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Arlan's. The grocery store is located at 1231 E. Kingsbury St.

KWED/Seguin Daily News helps provide students with a road map to the future JOB SHADOW, continued from page 1 "I took a different path. I went into an engineering degree and then I kind of felt like man, this is not what I had a passion for and then I got into the construction, remodeling so I feel like if these kids are kind of gravitating toward a certain degree, we can show them that there is so much more in construction so I applaud them for taking on the construction but now, they are really starting to see that there are other options there inside the construction industry. It's not just the installation of things but there is designing, management things like that," said Moreno. Over at the Seguin Police Department, two Seguin High School students were getting a major lesson in law enforcement. Demarcus Harris says he thinks he would like to become an officer, and being there at the police station was an eye-opening experience.

I'm already a sexual abuse advocate and I just wanted to build on top of that and be able to put more experience in the world cause I want to make sure our community is safe and that they know what is going on and so this is my way of trying to do that," said Medrano. Mike McCann, Seguin PD Lieutenant for Administration, was in charge of helping the students get the most out of their experience at the police station. He says this kind of outreach is important to the Seguin PD. "We always want to support our community outreach especially with the youth and the younger generation. It's a very high priority of ours to be transparent. A lot of people don't understand why we do what we do and if we can explain to them and educate them, they might not agree but at least they understand and so we can work together," said McCann.

"I didn't know there is a lot of things in here like in this building. There is so much stuff. So much McCann says helping these students get evidence. There's a lot.

Our student was Cheney Stephenson, a senior at Seguin High School. Stephenson, in fact, helped to gather some of the information for this story. He later spoke about his experience during his day at KWED Radio. "I found it really exciting and interesting to come and really look into the field that I wanted to pursue later on in life and I was actually accepted into a RTF (radio, television, film) major so, being able to see this from the radio perspective, it was something that I actually hadn't had a chance to do and being able to come here today and getting that experience was really interesting, really fun," said Stephenson.

Coronavirus Death Toll Tops Two-Thousand With 75K Cases

You Can Get Coronavirus More Than Once

(Beijing, China) -- The coronavirus death toll has now topped two-thousand. Almost all of the fatalities are in China with more than 75-thousand people infected worldwide. In China, where COVID-19 originated, four cities are desperately trying to stop the spread by sealing off entire communities and banning cars from the roads. As for a vaccine, that's still about 18-months away.

(Beijing) -- Medical experts say that once someone gets the coronavirus and recovers, there's a chance they could get it again. A director at a hospital in Beijing said Wednesday that a protective antibody is created when people are infected. That can keep people from getting sick again, but in some people, the antibody doesn't last long, opening the door to relapse. So far more than 75-thousand people have been diagnosed with the virus, most in China. Over 21-hundred deaths have been reported.

New Coronavirus 20 Times Deadlier Than Influenza (Beijing, China) -- China's CDC says their studies show the new coronavirus is 20 times deadlier than influenza. COVID-19, as it's now called, has a mortality rate of about twopercent, compared to one-tenth of one-percent for seasonal flu. MERS, another coronavirus, had a 35-percent mortality rate when it appeared in 2014. The mortality rate for SARS, yet another coronavirus, was nine-and-a-half-percent during the 2003 outbreak. But Chinese health officials say COVID-19 is much more contagious than these other coronaviruses which is why it's already led to more deaths than MERS and SARS.
