(Seguin) – Although the COVID-19 pandemic put a hold on a lot of things, it did not put a hold on the ability for one local group to make the dreams of four local families come true.

In an incredibly detailed and orchestrated plan, the volunteers of the Guadalupe Valley Habitat for Humanity late Friday afternoon managed to surprise the families with the news that they were selected as the newest homeowners for the non-profit organization.

Navarro ISD looks to officially hire superintendent finalist during tonight’s special meeting

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(Geronimo) – The Navarro ISD Board of Trustees tonight is expected to officially hire and welcome its new superintendent of schools. The school board last month unanimously approved a lone finalist in its search to replace current Superintendent Dee Carter.

During the end of that search process, the school board selected Wendi Russell to the position.

Although Russell was named the finalist, the district according to state law could not officially hire Russell until waiting at least a total of 21 days. That waiting period has now

obviously arrived allowing trustees to take action during tonight’s special meeting.

Russell currently serves as the interim superintendent for Pecos Barstow Toyah ISD located in West Texas. Russell is a 30-year veteran in the field of education and is originally from Sherman located in North Texas. In addition to Pecos, she has also previously served as an assistant superintendent in VanAlstyne ISD. The special meeting gets underway at 6 p.m. today in the Navarro Junior High School Library.

Guadalupe County Commissioners to meet during regular meeting

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(Seguin) – The Guadalupe County Commissioners Court is set to provide its latest update on the local response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The members of the commissioner’s court will not only hear about the positive cases being reported and the available testing in the area but will also get an update on those businesses who have begun to operate as part of Governor Greg Abbot’s Open Texas plan. Restaurants, retailers, movie theaters and malls were among the list of businesses that could begin operating under a limited capacity.

That first phase of the plan was rolled out on Friday.

The county's emergency management office has been working steadily since day one to provide as much information as possible to the public.

The meeting begins at 10 a.m. today in the Guadalupe County Courthouse. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting will be conducted via video conference, and the public can access the meeting by visiting: https://www.co.guadalupe.tx.us/commcourt/granicus.php.

Local families share appreciation for being selected for new home

HABITAT, continued from page 1

Madeline Zwicke, the executive director for Guadalupe Valley Habitat for Humanity, says each of the families, who all this time have been working toward being selected, were simply told to park in front of the Habitat Store on West Court Street and wait in their vehicles until someone came out to talk to them. Thinking it was simply a plan for social distancing, the families waited patiently. That is until, the store’s front doors opened with Zwicke sharing the great news of their selection and as members of the family selection committee followed behind carrying balloon bouquets placing them onto the hoods of their cars.

Zwicke says the honks, the clapping, the yelling and the tears of joy that followed all made the hard work worth it.

"There's a lot that goes into processing our applications. We review all the financials.

We do background checks. We do home visits and each time, we have interactions with the families, they keep saying 'oh, I'm so surprised you are still working on the applications during this time. We figured we wouldn't have an answer until like June or July because of COVID-19.' Our family selection committee, they are really the heartbeat of all of this. We just all got together and we said no, it's important to provide these families hope right now at this time and so we are going to keep working through processing all of these applications and so this committee, they have just done such a phenomenal job with just staying on top of it. We had four different Zoom meetings which were pretty intensive in the last month in a half just to get everything lined up for today. So, we called up the families and we told them that we need them to come in to sign more paperwork and to answer some more interview questions. But as you know, that's not the case. We are about to tell them that they are future

Zwicke again says she is thankful to the family selection group for working remotely or however it could to ensure that the application process continued during these uncertain times. She says each of these families will soon begin to invest their own 200 plus sweat equity hours into the home building. This latest batch of builds for the local chapter will be homes number 30 to 33. Habitat volunteers remind the community that the homes are not given to the families but instead are sold to them through no-interest loans. The Habitat for Humanity organization works to provide low-income families with a descent place to live. The motto is to give “A Hand Up, Not a Handout.”

Talking with TLU basketball alum Thomas Verm hospital social work counselor in Houston hospital in Houston, which basically makes me one of the front-line counselors working with the patients at our facility.

We are often the first mental health professional that the patient meets, and much of our work is crisis management. For nearly the last two years, I have been working with cancer patients who are struggling with Lymphoma or Myeloma."

*Interview originally published by the Development and Alumni Relations office at Texas Lutheran University.

For more information about supporting Texas Lutheran University, please visit www.tlu.edu/giving or call (830) 372-8030.

(Seguin) - Thomas Verm played four years for the men's basketball program at Texas Lutheran and won a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship with the Bulldogs in 2015. Verm was the starting center of the TLU squad that went from a last-place finish in the SCAC in 2013-14 to a first-place finish, a conference championship, and an NCAA Tournament appearance in 201415. Verm played in 89 career games for the Bulldogs, and he scored 492 points and grabbed 277 rebounds.

"We see a wide range of patients from young to old, and the variety of patient backgrounds is endless.

You could probably imagine how stressful being diagnosed with cancer is. It has become a pervasive presence within our homes and families. Many of us know someone or are related to someone who has been treated for cancer. I have had several family members die from a cancer diagnosis, and have several family members still working with doctors on their disease. This issue is very personal to me, and I have found passion in working with it."

Social Work Counselor Thomas Verm '15 shares what it is like to be on the front lines working at a hospital in Houston.

"I am a social work counselor at a

Former TLU hoops standout shares hospital social work insight VERM, continued from page 4 "Recently, I have been asked to step from an outpatient role to an inpatient role within the hospital. This was done to prepare for a future influx of COVID-19 patients within the next few weeks as the disease continues to spread, according to predictions. Right now, we are focused on our patients and our staff as we always are, and our policy is constantly changing to meet the safety needs of both parties."

How are you doing?

"I'm doing fine! Of course, this whole situation is stressful for everyone involved, but I happen to have great support in my colleagues as we tackle the difficult issues together. I believe it would be harder to be at home because I'm so social. I've been doing my best to eat better, pray more, and give myself time to clear my head. The best thing I have done to help myself is to think about things I'm grateful for as I get ready for bed. It helps me sleep, and relaxes me from stress accumulated throughout the day."

How has your work load changed?

"In the days before COVID-19, I would respond to the needs of my patients as assigned by doctors in our clinic. On a normal day, I am responsible for 60-80 patients a day. That would mean, of those patients, anyone feeling: high distress, depression, anxiety, death ideation, or suicidal thoughts would be on my case load.

This would usually lead to about 7-10 referrals a day, with some days leading to higher numbers."

"As part of institutional initiatives, we have reduced the number of patients we are seeing face to face in the outpatient setting.

This has put the patients I am now responsible for around 30, with about half of them seeing their doctor by video conference or telephone call. This has unsurprisingly led to lower numbers of people seen per day, but since then I have been assigned to the inpatient blood cancer floor of the hospital. I share it with a few other social workers, but those floors are emptying now to boost hospital capacity."

How has your daily routine changed? Are there new protocols?

How have you been personally affected by COVID-19 outside of a work setting?

"There definitely are new protocols. My usual attire for work would normally include a dress shirt, slacks, and dress shoes.

Now we have taken measures to ensure that our clothes can be more easily washed. This means I now come to work in a cloth polo shirt or a t-shirt with jeans. My dress shoes have been replaced with tennis shoes so I can wash them more often. We have banned ties so that we don't have any cloth sitting or brushing on the tops of surfaces. We have discontinued using lanyards, so our ID badges do not do the same. Otherwise, we are constantly adjusting to quickly moving targets to try to make sure that we reduce any spread or contamination as much as possible."

"I think it has just caused some extra stress and worry. I have been taking my steps a lot more personally as someone who isn't told to stay home every day. I don't know how I could console myself if I picked up something at the hospital and exposed someone I love to something they would have otherwise had no contact with. I take that very seriously, so it's just been myself and my wife at the house. I like to visit my family often but haven't been able to do that."

"We have also begun a no visitor policy to reduce foot traffic and exposure in the hospital. This has been difficult for our patients and families, as they are separated during many procedures, appointments, and admissions."

How are your patients?

"Our patients are needing a higher level of attention now. Cancer patients, especially, can be at higher risk of complications due to COVID-19, and many of our patients are stressed about being able to socially distance when they must be in a waiting room or in a room with several members of a medical team. Some of our care has been transitioned to other local hospitals so that patients do not have to travel as much to get medically necessary treatment. I think they are taking it one day at a time like many of us, but we are always available to help them process."

Have you seen a difference in people when you interact with them? Whether that's patients, coworkers, friends, etc?

"Not much outside of the patients themselves. Everyone is trying to be more proactive in washing their hands, cleaning their work area, and taking reasonable precautions. The biggest difference is that folks just want to talk at a distance now. Even my neighbors will say hey from across the street, but I try to respect everyone's space when I can. Overall, I have still been able to keep up with folks over the phone, which hasn't changed much!"

Can the public help out with COVID-19? If so, what do you suggest?

"Absolutely! Reduce any traveling outside the home unless it is for something essential like food or medical care. Try to limit having to buy/use surgical masks and N-95 masks at this time so that medical institutions can remain in stock as they work with COVID-19 patients. Listen to our medical professionals. If you have symptoms that parallel with COVID-19, try to use telehealth if it is available to you, if it is not an immediate medical emergency. This way a medical professional can safely assess whether you need to be tested."

What do you want to share with TLU alumni & friends?

"A big thank you to all that are first responders, essential staff, and those in medical professions. You all have made this process as smooth as possible, and I hope you know how much your contributions matter.

A special thank you to Texas Lutheran University's Psychology Department for building my interest in mental health, and for helping me build a great foundation for engaging with evidenced-based theory!"

"For everyone who has been affected by this virus, know that you are not alone. Many of us are struggling with this time in our history, and we will be made stronger for experiencing it. Keep providing support to the people in your life that need it whether by phone, text, video chat, or prayer!"

Trump Thinks A Coronavirus Vaccine Will Come Soon President Trump Talks China, Coronavirus (Washington, DC) President Trump predicts a coronavirus vaccine is on the horizon. At a Fox News townhall, Trump said he believes a vaccine will be available by the end of the year. Trump admitted that he would rather have therapeutic treatments for the respiratory illness. He touted the hope that the drug remdesivir [[ rem-DESS-eh-veer ]] could treat coronavirus. It's being fast-tracked for FDA approval after a study showed it could hasten recovery from COVID-19

(Undated) -- President Donald Trump is talking about the coronavirus and China at his town hall on Fox News. He chided the country for preventing people from traveling throughout China, but not from traveling internationally. Trump said China has done the world a disservice by not allowing the U.S. or the world in to investigate the beginnings of the virus. He says China made a "mistake" and tried to put it out like a fire, but wouldn't elaborate on what the mistake was.

Trump Vows To Protect People After Shutdowns End

Pence Admits He Should've Worn Mask To Mayo Clinic

(Washington, DC) -- President Trump believes people can be protected while going back to work after coronavirus lockdowns. At a Fox News townhall, Trump recognized that some people are afraid to go back to work, while others are very eager. The President said the country needs to protect those who are at risk while the economy gets running. He said maybe those who are at risk should still abide by restrictions. He also said demonstrations against state's stay-at-home orders have been "meaningful."

(Washington, DC) -- Vice President Mike Pence is admitting he was wrong for not wearing a mask during a visit to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota last week. At a Fox News townhall, Pence explained that he didn't think it was necessary to wear one considering how often he's tested for coronavirus. However, he said he should've worn one anyway. Wearing a mask is meant to prevent the wearer from transmitting the virus to others.

Pence later wore a mask when visiting a ventilator plant in Indiana.
