Guadalupe County emergency officials applaud the effectiveness of social distancing down of the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas. As Governor Greg Abbott shared earlier this week, reports indicate a plateau of cases and a dip in the number of positive tests being reported each day.
Guadalupe County working on planned approach to recovery, the transition back By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Although it's fight against COVID-19 remains strong, the fight to recover and transition back into full operation is already talk on the table for Guadalupe County officials. As they await Governor Greg Abbott's outlined plan to reopen the state, The Guadalupe County Commissioners Court on Tuesday shared their own thoughts and plans for recovery and transitioning back.
Many, including those here in Guadalupe County, are attributing this change to the results of social distancing which has been taking place along with the mandated Stay Home, Stay Safe orders Patrick Pinder, the implemented across the Guadalupe County state. Emergency Management

Officer, says the county is now faced with juggling the two efforts. The first to put a stop to the spread of the virus and the second to begin looking at how reopening will and should look for Guadalupe County. "In the future, we are kind of waiting on to see what the governor is going to say. That's kind of what we are
waiting on to see what he is going to do to kind of transition everything back. That's kind of the feel that everyone wants to see -what the governor is going to do so hopefully, this week we will get an idea of what his plans are for getting Texas back to the way it was before COVID-19. Currently, we are working on the recovery side of this. Obviously, we have been geared up and doing the response side. We want to start looking at the reopening side of this and how we are going to work with local jurisdictions, small businesses and kind of encourage the community once we start phasing out of COVID-19 to start getting back out -- how we are going to do that? What is that going to look like? Obviously, we don't want everybody to flood the stores and get back to 100 percent like they were right away -- once we lift all these orders," said Pinder.

County leaders encourage continued practice of social distancing
APPLAUD, continued from page 1
show its impact but believes social distancing, in the end, will have been the best tool used in this fight.
"Some cases around us, Bexar County has 772 cases, Comal has 37, Hays has 82, Guadalupe County hit 50 cases, Gonzales County had two cases, Medina has 13, Wilson has 11 and Caldwell has six. Out of the cases here in Guadalupe County, we have more recovered than we do active so that is good to see. The numbers coming in from the state are not high. We had the one high day of 11 but we've been averaging less than five so one to two. I did talk to the state a little about it, for the region, they only 10 positive case for our region so that's a good sign that the social distancing is working," said Pinder. Pinder says unfortunately, there are no numbers to
"We are still recommending the CDC and DSHS guidelines (for) social distancing. It's one of the things that seems to be working in our county and I think that's one thing that a lot of municipalities around us -that's working so it's one of the things that I want to keep pushing to the public," said Pinder. During a news conference earlier this week, Abbott stated that if this trend keeps up, then they'll indicate that the state is headed in the right direction. Pinder shared details about the effectiveness of social distancing during Tuesday's regular meeting of the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court.
County officials realize recovery of COVID-19 pandemic will be just as important RECOVERY, continued from page 1 Pinder says when the time comes for things to be lifted, it is the county's responsibility to ensure that safety is the underlying denominator behind all efforts being put into place. "I want to talk to some of these big businesses, talk to some of these jurisdictions about putting some small restrictions in like not 100 people go into a store, 50 people to go into a store for a week and just kind of gear up and just make sure that we are not flooding the stores and trying to limit the spread of this and keep it low," said Pinder. Commissioner Drew Engelke says he is grateful for the county's efforts to analyze its own efforts and put into place a recovery phase. He says it is a demonstration of control as well as hope. "I'm just glad to see that we are looking into a recovery phase part of the project here. We are all working together. It's been an experience for all of us I think. I've said it before, the Guadalupe County team, all of you have come together, have worked
very well and are patient, have used common sense. I think everybody's working together through this but it's really good to see that on your PowerPoint - what you said -- light at the end of the tunnel. So, let's not get excited and overwhelmed about that. We still need to stay the course and follow the social distancing. I still witness people doing that but I do also feel and see a sense of anxiety in people. We are ready to get back to normal but we just need to stay the course a little longer. I think we will be great. Let's not go backwards. Let's move forward. Homeschooling is challenge from personal experience. I've got a first grader and a fourth grader so again, kudos to those parents, the grandparents anybody who is helping with homeschooling, small business owners, stay the course. We are doing what we can as a community to support you but again, I think in the end, we are all going to be stronger for it," said Engelke. Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher says the key thing for everyone to remember is in order for things to return back to normal, there must first be healing. He says that's why things such as gloves, masks and social distancing will have to continue strong even into the recovery phase.
"As we try to transition from this, in response to the recovery section, to try to get things back open and transition away from these stay home orders and having more interaction with community members and the public even if it is not required, I think it's going to be recommended at some point, widespread, for folks as that initial interaction happens to take precautionary measures like wearing masks, wearing gloves -- some of those things to help speed up the process because if everybody is reluctant and says 'well, we just want to go back to normal and jump back into it and be around everybody,' we could be right back in the same situation in a matter of a few weeks. I think if we do it in a systematic and pragmatic way of opening things back up with governor's direction, local support, with planned measures that we can get recommendations out to the public to be safe and still practice some of those things, don't go wild and still go out only for necessary and essential things but like you said, maybe wear a mask when you go out. Nobody is laughing at anybody because they are wearing a mask. Make a point to go out,
make your own and get creative and do it as a family and go out. I mean it's protecting yourself, each other and the more people that do that now, the faster we can have places back open and businesses going on," said Kutscher. Kutscher says while he doesn't think the wearing of mask or other protective wear will be mandated, they will be key to making sure that the spread of COVID-19 doesn't return for a community. Kutscher says why everyone especially local businesses are hanging on the edge for the governor to roll out his plan for reopening up businesses, he wants the businesses in Guadalupe County to know that they have the county's full support. Personally, Kutscher is hoping that the governor comes out this week and provides at least a two week transition period for reopening the state. He says because it looks like Texas is entering a plateau of COVID-19 cases, he believes there can really be a planned approach to helping everyone get back on their feet especially the local business community.

SCAC Senior Spring Sport Recognition and Reflection - Women's Golf
(Lawrenceville, Ga.) - The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference is recognizing and honoring all of its senior spring sport studentathletes who had their final seasons cut short by the COVID-19 outbreak.
This installment focuses on the seniors in women's golf. Represented among these 14 student-athletes are: 18 SCAC All-Academic selections 6 SCAC All-Sportsmanship selections 5 All-SCAC First Team selections 4 All-SCAC Second Team selections 1 SCAC Player-of-the-Year 1 SCAC Freshman-of-the-Year 2 SCAC Tournament Medalists 4 SCAC Championship titles 1 SCAC Elite 19 recipient 12 WGCA All-American Scholars
After the NCAA made the unprecedented decision on March 12 to cancel all winter and spring championships due to the coronavirus pandemic, the SCAC Presidents Council decided to indefinitely suspend all regular season conference and non-conference competition. Although the league held out hope that by only suspeding play a window of opportunity may present itself for an abbreviated spring season with some form of tournament play the following month, with the virus continuing to spread throughout the country which has caused campuses who had originally hoped to remain open to close for the semester, the 2020 athletics season has effectively ended for over a thousand of the league's spring sport student-athletes along with the careers of 100+ seniors. Though some of the league's student-athletes may take advantage of a blanket waiver that would grant an additional season of participation, the SCAC office is honoring and recognizing all of its spring sport senior student athletes.
The Texas Lutheran seniors recognized include Summer Swift and Kaley Martin.
Favorite memory as a SCAC student-athlete:
Summer Swift
The Texas Lutheran women's golf program's 2020 seniors
"One of my favorite memories is walking off the green to hug my mom, best friend, and coach, after winning a playoff for the 2018 Individual Conference Title. That tournament gave me reassurance that I was good enough to be on a collegiate team, and it sparked friendly relationships with my competitors. I am forever grateful for this conference and this team. Pups Up."
Supporting all area athletes!

Coronavirus Cases Over 582,000 As Of Monday Night
Wyoming Reports First Coronavirus-Related Death
(Undated) -- The coronavirus continues to spread around the U.S. Over 23-thousand-600 people had died from the respiratory illness as of Monday night. There were more than 582-thousand confirmed cases across the nation. New York accounted for roughly a third of those cases alone as it approached 200-thousand. On a positive note, the number of Americans who have recovered from the disease surpassed 44-thousand.
(Buffalo, WY) -- Wyoming is the last state to report a coronavirus-related death. Governor Mark Gordon announced the news via Twitter and says the resident had underlying health conditions. He says the state's first death due to the virus "serves as a grim reminder of the importance of following public health orders." The least populous U.S. state, Wyoming also has the fewest number of confirmed cases with 270.
Trump Says Country Could Reopen Ahead Of Schedule (Washington, DC) -- It appears efforts to get the economy going are heading in the right direction. President Trump told a White House briefing they are close to completing a plan to reopen the country, adding it could be done ahead of schedule. Trump says the plan, along with guidelines, will give Americans confidence to start returning to normal life. The commander-in-chief has been adamant about getting the economy rolling again as soon as possible. He has recently said America "wasn't built to be shut down."
Los Angeles Mayor Brings Update On COVID-19 Fight (Los Angeles, CA) -- Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti says folks in the city are doing their part to slow the spread of coronavirus. In a Monday afternoon press conference, Garcetti noted the 113 new confirmed cases of the respiratory illness represent an increase of less than three-percent from the day before. He said that single-digit percentage increase is a good sign, but he pointed out cases are still going up. It's the eighth day in a row that the rate has increased by single-digit percentage points. However, Garcetti also said there were 25 new deaths in Los Angeles County, bringing the total to 320.
