Partner agencies come together for the protection Happy Independence Day Texas! of children in Guadalupe County Toast to Texas, book signing among today's events Signing ceremony helps activate protocols for keeping kids safe

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

"The work that they do at this Children's Advocacy Center is paramount to the investigations that we do in getting preparations that are victimizing our children off the streets and in jail where they need to be and getting the victims the services that they need so that maybe they are victimized.

They are never going to get over it but the services that they can provide them will help them recover," said Hugghins.

Seguin Police Chief Terry Nichols says ever since his arrival to the department, it was very evident that there was a partnership that worked here in Guadalupe County.

By Cindy AguirreHerrera (Seguin) -- When a child finds themselves a victim of abuse or neglect, there is no question as to what the adults in this community have to do.

Law enforcement officials plus a mixture of other children advocates recently joined together for special MOU and MDT signings.

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) and

Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) were spearheaded and hosted by the Guadalupe County Children's Advocacy Center. The MOU expresses the will of all parties or intended common line of action when a child is hurt in this county.

Among those on hand for the signing ceremony was Cibolo Police Chief Bryan Hugghins. Hugghins, says as the city of Cibolo grows, so

does the number of difficulties that are reported within that community. He says that why it's important to have the agreement -- an agreement that can provide the necessary services to those children and their families. He says the agreement allows the advocacy center and all parties involved to get the services to kids when they need it and not have to worry about things being postponed or put off.

"We have all of our agencies working well together both from the enforcement side, the prosecution side and also the advocacy side. Things like today, it give us a blueprint on how we need to operate to make sure we are all on the same page because ultimately, we want justice for victims and make them whole again and things like this make that happen, " said Nichols.

Seguin ISD gets update on potential loss in property value due to lake dewatering issue

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- The "sky is not necessarily falling." Those were the words used by Seguin ISD School Board President Cinde Thomas-Jimenez, as she helped to sum up a presentation by the district's Chief Financial Officer, Tony Hillberg, who recently discussed the potential impact that a drop in lakefront property values could have the district's funding. That potential impact is based on the level of threat that the Seguin ISD faces in regards to the possible dewatering of area lakes.

Texas school districts rely heavily on local property tax collections and state funding to remain in operation. Hillberg's presentation to the school board this week came in response to the recent release of a study by the Guadalupe Appraisal District, which discloses a potential decline in lake-front property values.

The study concluded that "reduced lake levels associated with potentially failing damns could result in a 28 percent decrease in the value of certain lakefront properties.

But Hillberg says recent legislative changes, such as House Bill 3, have been put into place to help stabilize the financial impact that this kind of drop in values could have on Texas school districts.

district had experienced a current year value loss of about 30 percent, for all property and not limited to lake-front property, the district would expect local tax collection effort of about $24 million. In this example, the state would contribute $37.7 million to achieve the calculated needed revenue of $61.7 million for the General Operating Fund.

Hillberg says it is not likely that valuations will be much different than what is currently being reported, because the valuation snapshot is taken on the first of January.

"So any impact with lake dewatering valuation decline is likely not going to happen until or if it happens at all -- obviously that's going to be if there is any dewatering but if it happens at all, it would be potentially by next January which would impact the 21-22 school year so where we are right now in the budgetary process -- the snapshot has already been taken and like I said, we will know those preliminary values in April of this year," said Hillberg.

Hillberg also reminded the school board of the district's conservative approach toward finances, which has allowed the district to build a healthy fund balance.

This week's presentation by Hillberg to the school board is just the first of many as he says he hopes to keep the district on top of all the latest in the lake litigation battle between lake property owners and the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority. The court process is still underway with an anticipated trial date set for October.

"One of the things that we have come to really realize over the last few months is the beneficial impact of HB 3, House Bill 3 on school funding when it comes to fluctuations in local property values regardless whether the values go up or down. The state has changed the formulas and is putting forth virtually dollar per dollar to get to a certain part of revenue per student for any given school district," said Hillberg.

That, again of course, is only if an agreement isn't reached before that date by all the parties involved.

Part of potentially rectifying the issue and helping to dissolve the level of threat against the Seguin ISD and those lakefront property owners has been the possible creation of other water control and improvement districts along the Guadalupe River and those hydro electric lakes (WCID). The WCID would allow the lake residents to tax themselves in order to raise the necessary money for the replacement and repair of the dams.

The district needs about $61 million in this current fiscal year to cover its operation expenses. In his explanation to the school board, Hillberg states for "example, if the

As reported earlier this month, the entire 100 page study on lakefront property values released by the appraisal district is available for public viewing at guadalupead.org.

Seguin ISD Superintendent updates families on the potential threat of coronavirus in local schools

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) --- Although the risk is low at this time, the Seguin ISD is reminding parents that the school district is keeping its own eye on any potential threat of the coronavirus. In a letter to the public, Seguin ISD Superintendent Dr. Matthew Gutierrez states, "Recent media reports on the coronavirus in the United States have raised questions and caused concern. I want to assure you

that Seguin ISD is actively monitoring this situation through proven and trustworthy sources: the Region 8 health departments, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

These health officials believe the risk to our school community is low at this time."

Based on the current information, Gutierrez says health officials are recommending that local communities and schools take the same steps to protect against coronavirus as they do take to prevent the spread of everyday illnesses like the common cold or the flu: Those steps include: - wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and Dr. Gutierrez also provides links to the most water are not available, use an alcoholrecent updated information from the CDC based hand sanitizer. on the virus here in the United States.

- avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

- avoid close contact with people who are sick.

- Stay home when you are sick.

- cover your mouth and nose with the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze.

- clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Dr. Gutierrez adds and reassures the public that teachers, school nurses, and staff are all working carefully to encourage these same simple preventative measures just listed.

The letter can be found on the district's website at seguinisd.net.

Agencies team together to provide justice, healing for children

PARTNER, continued from page 1 justice process that much eas-

Guadalupe County Sheriff Arnold Zwicke says the partnership among the various entities just ensures that kids are the priority.

"It just makes it a whole lot better operation, investigation wise, partnering with the prosecutors to make better cases.

It's just better for the citizens of Guadalupe County and it's another cooperative effort that our law enforcement does to keep Guadalupe County shining," said Zwicke.

Guadalupe County Dave Willborn says the agreement is one of the most crucial tools that the county has as far as fighting violence against children. He says when everyone does their part, it makes the

ier.

"The work that the volunteers and the employees of the children's' advocacy center do is crucial. Not only do they provide assistance when it comes to investigating the cases and prosecuting the cases but also, helping the children through all their problems by counseling and any other additional services that they offer. I think they are an invaluable tool for prosecution of these such cases," said Willborn.

Christy Williams, the executive director of the Guadalupe County Children's Advocacy Center, says she explains this county wide effort as the tool that activates the system that protects and helps keep children safe.

nately, not everyone in the half the battle so we really state operates like those here bring together people and netin Guadalupe County work them in organizations and departments and network "There are 72 children advo- them so we do need to mobicacy centers in the state of lize because a child has been Texas.

"We all agree that we are going to work together to do these cases. That we are not going to be in our silos. We are not going to be doing things without communicating with each other because we want to build strong cases so that kids can be safe and they can be protected and they can be heard and they can have a voice and when we work together, there is less burden on the child. There is less burden on the family and there's honestly, less burden on the team for coming together with a case that actually makes sense because all of the pieces have hopefully been brought to the table," said Williams.

We’re looking forward to meeting you!

Letter to the Editor Dear Guadalupe County Residents,

In just a couple of days you will be given the opportunity to truly make a difference. On March 3, 2020, the voting polls in Guadalupe County will open and once again. The American people will be allowed a privilege that few others in this world are granted….the opportunity to vote.

As a people, we choose who serves us! On this day and on this ballot, you will find two candidates who are asking for the opportunity to serve as your Sheriff.

However, before you go to the polls to cast your vote for Sheriff, I felt it necessary to write this letter to you to tell you what I’ve come to know about your current Sheriff, Arnold S. Zwicke.

My name is Dawn Caddell. I have lived in Guadalupe County all of my life. I love living here and I love the people here. I have had the privilege to be employed at the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office for the past 30+ years. I serve in the position of Administrative Assistant to the Sheriff. While working in this position under the administration of Sheriff Zwicke for the past 19+ years, I felt the need to tell you about the man himself.

Working alongside of him on a daily basis, I have come to know Sheriff Zwicke and what he stands for.

Let me begin by saying that Sheriff Zwicke’s opponent says that 20 years is long enough for a Sheriff to be in office. I must tell you that the rapport that Sheriff Zwicke has with other Texas Sheriffs is phenomenal. I have witnessed him communicate, correspond, and work alongside many other Sheriffs, Chiefs, and other law enforcement officials.

If you stop and think about it, the amount of time a Sheriff serves his county speaks volume as to the status of the office he holds.

The Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office rates exemplary in the mission they’ve sworn to uphold.

I personally worked with Jimmy Harless when he was employed at the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office. I was there when he was hired and I was there when he left.

Since the beginning of my career at the Sheriff’s Office, I have been witness to eight re-elections for an incumbent of this office.

I want you to know that in all of those re-elections there was never this type of campaigning to where an opponent used the untruthful tactics that are currently being used to smear our Sheriff.

Not to mention the negative statements made about the employees of the Sheriff’s Office.

I must say that I am very disappointed in Mr. Harless for having

Dear Voters,

On the March 3rd ballot, you will be making a decision for Sheriff of Guadalupe County. You have two choices: You have the incumbent Sheriff that has dedicated his life to public safety having served in both Fire/EMS and Law Enforcement for the past 45 years. He has 27+ years of Law Enforcement experience to include 19+ years as our Sheriff. He continues to improve the services of the Sheriff's Office with many programs such as a Mental Health Unit, a Narcotics Team that is second to none, a License and Weight Unit combating the big truck problems, a SWAT/Negotiations Team, a state certified Training Facility, an Animal Control Unit that has maintained a 91% redemption rate average for the past 5 years. A jail that has been in good standings with the State of Texas bringing in almost $36 MILLION DOLLARS in revenues since he took office in 2001. He is a Sheriff with experience in dealing with high profile cases, major crimes, and natural disasters such as flood-

run this type of campaign.

About our Sheriff: Arnold Zwicke has always done what he has said he will do—there have never been any surprises with him and you can count on anything he says.

He is a man of integrity, a man who can be trusted, and who will demand equality, integrity, and accountability from all who work in his office.

He has proven his ability to effectively manage and communicate with his officers as well as other law enforcement agencies and officers in order to provide the necessary services to this community.

He has always presented himself as professional and personable to people of all walks of life.

He is friendly and outgoing to everyone; man, woman; young and old alike.

Arnold Zwicke has been the same professional, helpful, and kind individual in every encounter that I’ve ever witnessed. He has always been very accessible to all and continues his open-door policy to the citizens he serves as well as the individuals he employs. Sheriff Zwicke is a leader whose knowledge about the operations of an effective Sheriff’s Office is unmatched. He runs his office with transparency and with clear expectations of what it means to serve the citizens of Guadalupe County as a Sheriff and Sheriff’s Office. In addition, he is a steadfast and loving family man who understands the morals, values, and challenges it takes to support and guide a family and others through difficult times.

He readily transfers his supportive view of family and individuals to those that work for him.

Having brought the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office into the twenty-first century, Arnold Zwicke has modernized his office with much needed updated equipment and training and continues to do so by working closely with the Commissioner’s Court.

He is responsible for budgets in excess of $24,000,000 and he presents to Commissioner’s Court conservative budgets, only asking for what he truly needs to provide you, the citizens of Guadalupe County, fair and effective law enforcement. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to meet your Sheriff, then you already know that it only takes a few moments talking with him to understand his deep and enduring commitment to our community.

Experience and training in public safety and law enforcement are essential for the success of any Sheriff, and Sheriff Arnold Zwicke certainly has a lengthy and remarkable list of credentials

ing and tornadoes. He is a Sheriff that has lowered the crime rate while the population as increased dramatically. He is a Sheriff that has donated his time and money supporting many great causes in our county such as our youth, the elderly, the schools, the churches, all of which make Guadalupe County a better place to live. He is a Sheriff who has brought many worthwhile programs to Guadalupe County such as RadKidsinteracting with our school children, The Santa Sheriff Program, Relay for Life Team, and many, many more.

He is a Sheriff who led the campaign to build a new Children's Advocacy Building and has since been asked to help build a new Guadalupe County Family Violence Shelter. He is a Sheriff who sits on many boards and committees to help make Guadalupe County a great place to live. He is a Sheriff who has reached out to partner with many different agencies; local, state, and federal law enforcement, to reduce crime.

He is one who works with Commissioner's Court

proving his qualifications in these areas.

But in my opinion, it is his passion for building strong, positive relationships between the Office of the Sheriff and our broad and diverse community that demonstrates his greatest strength. His drive to partner with our communities, schools, churches, and other very important programs prove of his abilities to work alongside you and me to make Guadalupe County a safer place to live and raise our children.

Arnold Zwicke is a Sheriff that stands behind and supports the men and women of this Office. He has 27 years of public service, with 19+ years of those as your Sheriff of Guadalupe County.

He is a lifelong citizen of Guadalupe County, and forever a civil servant. He stays true to his roots. He is a Christian man and his service as Sheriff has been exemplary.

So when you go to the polls, I ask you to take a moment and think about what it really is you want in a Sheriff.

Do you want to not only feel safe but also be safe?

Do you want a huge effort placed on eliminating drugs in Guadalupe County?

Do you want our children and senior citizens to matter in Guadalupe County?

Do you want a Sheriff who is fiscally responsible with your tax dollars?

Do you want a Sheriff who is accessible to the people he serves?

Do you want a Sheriff who is honest?

Do you want a Sheriff who will protect your family as if it were his own?

Do you want a Sheriff who is the most qualified to serve you?

The Office of Sheriff is an increasingly challenging position in our modern world. Arnold Zwicke has the energy and genuine interest in the people he serves. His honesty, his wonderful wife and family, his dedication to the law, his openness to all ideas, and his outstanding credentials in law enforcement make him a candidate that all of us, Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Independents, can support.

This is such an important race and those of us who count on a professional, experienced, and responsive Sheriff’s Office need to really consider this before casting your vote.

Fellow citizens, there is only one QUALIFIED candidate for Sheriff and that is ARNOLD ZWICKE. Thank you for your time,

to keep Guadalupe County safe. I could go on and on about what the Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office has done and continues to do for the citizens of Guadalupe County.

OR, We can vote for a person that has no real life experience in leading and managing an agency of that size. One who is not sure of what he wants to do in life. One who cannot remember how many years of actual law enforcement he has. Is it 27, 23, 33 or 17 years? He has used all these numbers during his campaign. One who does not have hands on experience in dealing with major crimes. One who does not understand that everything he is promising is already in place at the Sheriff's Office.

EXAMPLE: What I find amazing is that he claims to sit on the local mental health board and never knew the current Sheriff sits on the Mental Health Executive Board and has partnered with Bluebonnet Mental Health in starting a Mental Health Unit in 2014 with funding from BBMH. He has NO experience operating a County Jail, and has never mentioned the Jail in his campaign.

He has run down our Animal Control Unit until he

Dawn Caddell saw the statistics that show the Animal Control Unit meets the requirements of a NO KILL Shelter!

He is a candidate that uses a High-Dollar politician consultant who thrives on using Washington style gutter tactics to persuade votes.

If you compare the two you will find that the consultant could not find anything to attack the current Sheriff on except that 20 years is too long to be in office, and we need a change.

I ask you to remember the last person who promised change; He damn near wrecked our country!!

Don't allow this to happen in Guadalupe County.

IF it isn't broke, DON'T FIX IT!!!!!

Please join me in voting for ZWICKE for SHERIFF! Thank you.

Becky Baker,

NorCal County Declares Health Emergency For Coronavirus

Ships In Pacific To Self-Quarantine Sailors Amid Coronavirus

(Sacramento, CA) -- Another California county is under a health emergency. It's where a woman may be the first in the nation to have gotten coronavirus locally. She wasn't exposed to anyone sick and didn't travel overseas. Solano County is also where hundreds have been quarantined at a military base. They were either flown out of China or rescued from a cruise ship in Japan. Health officials say the woman didn't have any connection to the base and they're now tracing who she came into contact with. At this point, California has 33 cases.

(Washington, DC) -- Some Navy ships are being ordered to stay at sea and self-quarantine its sailors. All ships that have made stops in Pacific nations will have to wait 14 days before returning to confirm no one has coronavirus. This comes as the deadly disease continues to spread globally. The fleet is headquartered in Japan, where about 50-thousand troops are stationed.

Coronavirus Cases Continue Rising In China, South Korea

(Washington, DC) -- Health Secretary Alex Azar [[ AAY-zar ]] says most Americans shouldn't worry about the coronavirus outbreak. At a White House event, Azar cheered President Trump's "historically aggressive" containment efforts. He noted that the situation can change and that Americans should be prepared for that. Azar went on to say that the President took quick action to restrict travel to the U.S. and was criticized for it. However, he said his actions have kept Americans safe and at the very least bought officials time to respond.

(Undated) -- More and more people are being impacted by the coronavirus around the world. Both China and South Korea reported hundreds of new confirmed cases on Friday, bringing South Korea's total over two-thousand. There are nearly 79-thousand cases in China alone. Around the globe, the death toll has surpassed 28-hundred. Each continent with the exception of Antarctica has confirmed a case of the illness.

Genevieve graduated from Marion High school then attended Texas Lutheran College.

She graduated in 1976 with honors- Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Education, specialization in History. She was a member of Kappa Pi Gamma sorority.

In August 1988 she received her Master of Elementary Education with a secondary concentration – Interdisciplinary Studies, Curriculum & Instruction from Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. Genevieve dedicated her life as an educator and mentor for young people.

Through her infinite amount of patience, she molded minds as a kindergarten teacher at Norma Krueger Elementary School in Marion for 41 years, with numerous Teacher of the Year awards.

Genevieve wanted to make a difference in education and life skills as a leader in Guadalupe County 4-H clubs.

Her love for the 4-H program began at the age of nine joining the Marion 4-H club and was a member for 10 years.

She accomplished numerous projects and received many awards culminating with the 4-H Gold Star in 1971.

As an adult Genevieve remained actively involved in club work for over 30 years, serving as manager in the Marion 4-H club; leader for the county food show, county clothing show, 4-H banquet, Clover Kids; member of

Guadalupe County Youth Livestock Show poultry division, and numerous other events.

Even while maintaining a full teacher schedule, Genevieve enjoyed being a parent and nurturing her son Kyle in his 4-H career.

As Kyle graduated from Texas A&M and started his own life, Genevieve took pride in coaching her great-nephews in their 4H endeavors. Since 2014, she has trained well over 100 4-H members in Guadalupe County in varying project areas, not to mention training other adult leaders to assist her with coaching so many teams.

In 2019 Genevieve and Mark attended the state awards banquet at Texas A&M University where Genevieve received the coveted Texas 4-H Salute to Excellence Award for her numerous contributions to 4-H and 4-H youth.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Guadalupe County Youth Show Scholarship Fund, the Marion School Community Scholarship or Guadalupe County Aggie Moms Scholarship Fund.
