KWED helps outline answers to questions about going back into the classroom By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(Seguin) -- Earlier this week, Seguin Radio KWED and the Seguin Daily News teamed up with the Seguin ISD to help answer a few questions about remote learning and to help illustrate what that day would look like for students this fall. Today, we take a closer look at the expectations for those students and families who choose to return to school for face to face learning. We’ll also take a look at the efforts being made to help keep kids safe while learning. Again, helping to provide parents and guardians with all they need to know about making the right decision for their student is Sean Hoffmann, Seguin ISD chief communications officer. Hoffmann reminds families that these and all other questions that they might have are available in the Back to School Blueprint document found on the district’s website, SeguinISD.net. The Seguin ISD along with the radio station and SDN hope that this bullet list featuring some of your questions will hopefully help your family better decide between starting the school year at home or at one of the campuses. Topping the list of questions is one that involves things bright and early in the morning. Hoffmann says the safety measures put into place at the very beginning help to set the tone for the rest of the day.

n addition to checking each student’s temperatures at the door, what else can parents expect as students make their way into the school building during the morning drop-off? “As the students arrive at school on day one or day 10, it’s again going to be different. Students who are on the bus, as they get to school for drop off, they will have a specific entrance. We are also looking at having entrances

for our walkers and for our car riders, so we are trying to separate those entrances, so students are not congregating as they are entering the school building. As students walk in the school building, they can be assured that the staff has taken self-screening protocols before they’ve entered the building that day. Our teachers and school staff will not show up to school if they are sick and if they have any type of COVID symptoms. Again, we are relying on our parents to ensure that their students do not have COVID symptoms, have not been exposed and are coming to school,” said Hoffmann. See CLASSROOM, page 2

ave there been any creative and innovative ideas by teachers to provide social distancing within the classroom? Hoffmann says while the ideas are there, many of them won’t be put into place until closer to the first day. “When we have better numbers and know from school to school what our enrollment is going to look like, we will have a better idea of what those classrooms are going to look like as far as accommodating our students. But again, our classrooms are going to look good. Our teachers take a lot of pride in them and I’ll reiterate, there will be hand sanitizer in our classrooms and the desks and chairs will be distanced to maximize that space between the students,” said Hoffmann.

hat should parents and students know about masks, shields or any other protective gear and how can they begin addressing those expectations at home? Hoffmann says masks, no doubt, will be the most obvious difference that students will notice. “Everyone will be required to wear a mask in Seguin ISD schools beginning this fall with the school year. We will be able to provide some of this protective gear for our students. We are looking at purchasing masks so that students have access for one and have that personal item. Again, parents are probably going to have to wash that mask at home everyday or trade it out with one that the family provides but again, that expectation is going to be there. We realize it’s going to be a challenge especially with our younger children. They have been out of school since March. While they are at home, they might not be wearing masks when they are within their homes or outside playing. So, it’s going to be an adjustment and part of that training process where our campus staff is going to be working with the students letting them know why that mask is important and encouraging them to wear that equipment throughout the school day. Obviously, there are going to be individualized cases that we will look at and evaluate for certain groups of students when it comes to that mask having to be worn. During P.E., which we will have, we will be getting our students outside during the school day and during that time while they are outside on the playgrounds playing, they will not be required to wear a mask. As they transition in and out of the school building to go to P.E., that mask has to be on,” said Hoffmann.

hat types of safety measures have been included to ensure that teachers also remain safe and healthy? Hoffmann says health and safety are priority across the board at every campus. “This is going to be an adjustment for our teachers as well. Obviously, they are going to have a heavy responsibility in instilling these safety protocols with our students and enforcing them with our students but while they do that, on top of the day to day learning, that is going to be taking place, we want our teachers to be healthy as well. We want them to be in school. We want them to be able to do their job and we want them to have the tools to do that job effectively and to minimize their exposure to COVID as well. So again, the safety guidelines that are in place at each campus are not only for our students but they are there for our teachers,” said Hoffmann. See CLASSROOM, page 3

hat types of steps would the district want parents to take daily to further ensure safety and good health for their child? Hoffmann says efforts of keeping kids virus free will have to begin at home. “With these changes to the school day, I’m thinking a lot of the parents are going to see changes to the morning routine of getting their children ready for school or possibly having a checklist for the evening prior to ensure that the children have their protective mask to ensure that their children are well. It would be great if your parents would check temperatures before their children go to school each day but definitely asking them – just engaging them and asking them how they are feeling, being cognizant of whether or not family members who may have been exposed to COVID-19 or situations where students while they are not in school may have been somewhere and possibly been exposed to it. So, while we want our children in school, we want to make sure that they are healthy when they are there and if they are not feeling well, then that’s reason to keep them at home and have those symptoms looked at a little further,” said Hoffmann.

hat do I need to know about transportation whether my child walks or is a car or bus rider? Hoffmann says whatever mode of transportation a family chooses, the district is ready to accommodate students as safely as possible. “We will have bussing available. Their temperatures will be checked before they get on the bus. As they get on the bus, hand sanitizer will be used by students as they get on the bus and as they get to school for drop-off, we are asking our parents to strongly consider walking with their child to school or taking their child to school in a vehicle. Obviously, at this point in time, we are wanting to minimize the number of bus riders. Again, trying to keep students distanced and not congregated but we definitely understand that there are those students – their only option is to ride the bus. We’d rather have them on the bus going to school then sitting at home if they want to be in that classroom environment and as our students are on a school bus, they will be expected to wear a mask,” said Hoffmann.

WWW.SEGUINTODAY.COM

hat is the district’s expectations for parents with kids of all ages? Hoffmann says launching a new school year will definitely be a team effort. “Safety, preventive screening and mitigation for COVID-19 are going to be big. It’s going to be new. There will be a lot of hand sanitizing. There will be a lot of training of our students during the first weeks of school. It’s just going to be different and we are asking for everyone’s patience. It’s going to take everybody’s involvement and everybody’s help. It’s going to take a parent working with their children at home to let them know the importance of wearing a mask at school, the importance of them practicing social distancing while in the classroom and in the hallways and washing hands and hand sanitizing so it’s going to be a different year. It’s going to be a different beginning. We realize that but again, it’s going to take everybody’s help,” said Hoffmann. hould parents be flexible and ready for any changes that might need to happen? Yes, Hoffmann says the answer is and will always be “yes!” “Students will be provided a device. It’s unfortunate but we realize that our students may be in school one day and forced to be learning remotely from home the next day -- should we have to shut down a classroom due to a student or staff member having the virus. So, again, we are going to have to shift and adapt on a dime in those instances in which we are going to have a teacher going remote and our students going remote and getting that remote system established with those kids,” said Hoffmann. Again, additional answers for all questions regarding remote learning are available on the Seguin ISD website at seguinisd. net. You are asked to click the Back to School button to navigate through the Blueprint resource that has been made available. Parents in the Seguin ISD have until Wednesday, Aug. 19 to decide whether their child will register for online classes or if they will be returning to the classroom. The first day of school is Tuesday, Aug. 8.

TLU’s DeAnna Hernandez among conference-level nominees for 2020 NCAA Woman of the Year Award

(Seguin) - From a program-record pool of 605 school nominees, Texas Lutheran University’s DeAnna Hernandez is one of the 161 college student-athletes that have been named conference-level nominees for the 2020 NCAA Woman of the Year Award.

Hernandez and Trinity University’s Abby Holland previously were named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference’s Co-Woman of the Year and were the SCAC’s nominees for NCAA Woman of the Year. Today, the NCAA officially acknowledged the conference-level nominees for NCAA Woman of the Year. The nominees represent student-athletes from 21 different sports spanning all three NCAA divisions. Of those nominated, 59 nominees competed in Division I, 39 in Division II and 63 in Division III. The NCAA Woman of the Year program is rooted in Title IX and has recognized graduating female college athletes for excellence in academics, athletics, community service and leadership since its inception in 1991.

Hernandez makes conference-level cut for NCAA Woman of the Year honor

HERNANDEZ, continued from page 4

runs. She posted an on-base percentage of .451.

Conferences can recognize two nominees if at least one is a woman of color or international studentathlete. All nominees who compete in a sport not sponsored by their school’s primary conference, as well as associate conference nominees and independent nominees, were placed in a separate pool to be considered by a selection committee. Four nominees from the pool were selected to move forward in the process with the conference nominees.

“DeAnna Hernandez is a tremendous example of what TLU Athletics is all about,” said Texas Lutheran Athletic Director Bill Miller. “She is an outstanding student and a great player. She is the epitome of a winner. TLU and the TLU Athletics Department are very proud of DeAnna and what she has accomplished. National championships are won with players like her on the team.”

Hernandez became TLU’s second SCAC Woman of the Year honoree since the institution joined the conference prior to the 2013-14 academic year. Amanda Lochte, another TLU Softball standout, won the award in 2017. A senior outfielder from Sugar Land, Texas, Hernandez graduated from TLU in May with a 4.00 grade point average as a biochemistry major. Hernandez, the 2019-20 TLU Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year, was a four-year letter-winner for the NCAA Division III national champion Bulldogs. She also claimed TLU’s Junior-Year Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year award in 2019. Hernandez was named the 2019 Elite 90 Award Winner for NCAA Division III Softball at the national championship finals banquet. The Elite 90 award is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade point average at each national championship. In 2020, Hernandez was named the SCAC’s Elite 19 Award Winner for Softball.

“DeAnna has been a selfless teammate the past four years,” said TLU Head Softball Coach Wade Wilson. “She had an incredible career both on the field and in the classroom.” Away from the softball diamond, Hernandez was a four-time member of the SCAC Spring Academic Honor Roll, and she made the TLU President’s List in all eight of her collegiate semesters. Hernandez was a TLU Chemistry Grant award recipient in 2019, and she was the secretary of the TLU Black & Gold President’s Council for the 2019-20 academic year. She also served on the TLU Campus Activity Board, as a TLU Peer Mentor, as an organic chemistry research assistant, and as secretary and president of the TLU PreHealth Professions Club. “I will forever be thankful for the opportunities TLU has given me,” said Hernandez. “To the coaches who have pushed me to be better, to the teammates who have become my family, and to the professors who allowed me to succeed, you will always be a part of me, and for that I thank you.”

A 2019 SCAC First Team All-Conference selection, Hernandez was a career .340 hitter with a career on-base percentage of .412. She had 37 stolen bases in 42 career attempts.

The Woman of the Year Selection Committee, made up of representatives from the NCAA membership, will now choose the Top 30 honorees — 10 from each division — from the conferencelevel nominees. The Top 30 honorees will be announced in September. From there, the selection committee will narrow the pool to three finalists from each division. The NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics will select the 2020 Woman of the Year from the nine finalists.

In the Bulldogs’ national championship season, Hernandez hit .367, stole 17 bases, and scored 30

The Top 30 honorees will be celebrated and the 2020 NCAA Woman of the Year will be named this fall.

Hernandez and the Bulldogs were 19-1 and ranked second in the DIII when the 2020 season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump Announces Moderna Deal For 100 Million COVID Vaccine Doses

(Washington, DC) -- President Trump says the U.S. has reached a deal to buy 100-million doses of Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine candidate. At the White House, he said the agreement will help manufacture and deliver the immunization to Americans. Similar partnerships have been made with Johnson and Johnson, along with Pfizer and GSX. Moderna began the first phase three clinical trial last month. Trump cited tremendous promise on the vaccine front and developments are years ahead of schedule. He added the military is ready to distribute hundreds of millions of doses.

Dr. Fauci Isn’t Confident About Russia’s Coronavirus Vaccine

(Undated) -- The nation’s top infectious disease expert doesn’t believe Russia’s coronavirus vaccine is the real deal. Dr. Anthony Fauci [[ FOW-chee ]] took part in a discussion with National Geographic and said it’s one thing to have a vaccine, but it’s another for it to be “safe and effective.” The remarks follow Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement that they have the world’s first COVID-19 vaccine. Putin said the vaccine was put through clinical trials and it showed to be successful against the virus. It was reported, however, that Phase Three of trials were skipped which casted doubt from numerous health specialists.

925 Students, Staff At Georgia School District Are Quarantined

(Atlanta, GA) -- The coronavirus crisis is hitting a Georgia school district hard with 925 students and staff now in quarantine. Classes have only been in session a week and already there’s 59 positive cases. At least 19 schools are impacted in Cherokee County with one closing for the rest of the month. Teachers are required to wear masks when they can’t socially distance but not kids. The district has 42-thousand students and more than 30-thousand chose to return.

Young Vape, E-Cigarette Users Seven Times More Likely To Get COVID-19 Than Non-Users

(Stanford, CA) -- Teens who vape or use e-cigarettes are seven times more likely to get COVID-19 than non-vapers, according to a new study. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine said even using an e-cigarette once makes teens five-times more likely to get the virus. The study’s senior author Dr. Bonnie Halpern-Felsher said they were surprised to see such a significant connection between vape use and COVID-19 infection. She says they think the heightened rate of infection is due to lung damage and the ability of aerosol droplets to contain the virus.

Nash John McElyea Nash, III passed away August 8, 2020 at the age of 70 in Seguin, Texas. John is survived by his loving wife of 37 glorious years, Teri MyCue Nash; his children John Nash, IV and wife, Laura; Amy Nash Dahlke and husband, Robert; Andy Nash and wife, Rebecca; Amanda Nash Robbins and husband, Bailey; grandchildren Emily and Tilden Nash; Jacob and Jade Dahlke; Casen, Whitley, and Elliot Grace Nash; and Baby Robbins expected in February. He was also survived by his sisters Naomi Nash Drummond and husband, Chuck; Martha Nash Bartlett and husband, Marty; sister-inlaw, Karen Gordon; step-mother, Connie Naugher Nash; Sue Hodges and husband, A. G., mother of John and Amy; sisters-in-law Judy Johnson and Merry Douberly and husband, Ed; brothers-in-law Jerry MyCue and wife, Carol; Scotty MyCue and wife, Jacque; numerous nieces and nephews; loving family members, and a plethora of loving friends. John was preceded in death by his parents, John and Polly Nash, sister Polly Anne Nash, his brother Kenneth Andrew Nash, inlaws Roger and Arline MyCue; brothers-in-law Jimmie Johnson and Dick MyCue. John was born on August 17, 1949 in Berkeley, California to John Nash, Jr. and Pauline Fawcus Nash. The family relocated to St. Louis, Missouri in the early 1960’s fueling John with a love for baseball and the St. Louis Cardinals. He later graduated from Lindbergh High School in 1967 and began classes at Central Methodist College. This is when John realized that school was getting in the way of his education and as he explained it, “I was working at the

restaurant too much to go to class. I was a terrible student.” Perkins Pancake House in the St. Louis area, as well as the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps Medic, kept him busy until 1978 when he moved to the Seguin area to help his parents manage the Greenery Station Restaurant off of State Highway 123. John didn’t like things not done so he finished college as a well-seasoned, non-traditional student in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree from Texas Lutheran University. Through the years, John kept his community fed by owning and operating several other restaurants in the Seguin area: Depot Cafe, River Shadows, Walnut Creek Diner, and Johnny Mac’s Bar and Grill. His ability to mentor the young minds is something that always seems to come up in conversation when speaking to others about John Nash. He loved telling stories, fishing and hunting with his family, managing his longhorns, talking to friends, and talking to strangers that would often become friends. It was known throughout that you better have some spare time if you ran into John.

John based his life on his faith, his family, and his friends. To quote John Wayne, his hero, “I’ve tried to live my life so that my family would love me and my friends respect me. The others can do whatever the hell they please.” That was you, John Nash. You were an icon to many. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to First United Methodist Church, 710 N. Austin, Seguin, Texas or the Geronimo Lions Club Scholarship Fund, 135 Oak Springs Drive, Seguin, Texas, 78155. You are encouraged to sign the guest book at www.treshewell.com. Arrangements are under the direction of Tres Hewell Mortuary, 165 Tor Dr., Seguin, Texas, 78155, 830-549-5912.

Priestly Ora Lee Priestly of Seguin passed away at the age of 99 at Silvertree Nursing Home in Schertz Texas.

He loved family vacations to Angel Fire, NM, Lake Amistad in Del Rio, TX, and the Texas coast. He often bragged about his kids and grandkids as “champions--every one of them.” To fulfill his faith, he was an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Seguin, serving as chief lawn man. To support his community, he was involved in the Geronimo Lions Club serving many offices (including the Lion King) as well as managing the First Friday Feasts each month. To continue his patriotic duty, he served as a boat captain at the annual Warriors’ Weekend in Port O’Connor, TX. John’s cremated remains will be enniched, in a private service, in the Columbarium at Knolle Chapel of First United Methodist Church in Seguin with the Rev. Cathe Evins officiating. A public celebration of his life is being planned at a later date.

Geraldine Stewart, and 22 Grandchildren.

She is survived by 2 daughters: Josephine (Marion) Dolford of Schertz, TX; Erma Galimore of Cibolo, TX; 2 sons: Charles and Howard Priestly of Seguin; 1 Daughter in love: Estelle Priestly of Converse, TX; 3 sisters; Ethel Luckey, Dorothy Luckey and

Due to Covid 19 restrictions a private service will be held Aug. 13, 2020 at 10 AM at Meadowlawn Funeral Home. 5611 E. Houston St. San Antonio,TX 78220.
