COVID-19 might impact city’s holiday event

By Darren Dunn (Seguin) -- The city of Seguin is trying to figure out if some popular holiday traditions will be allowed to return this year. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the Fourth of July festivities in Seguin this year. Things like Freedom Fiesta, the fireworks show and the Fourth of July parade were all canceled to try to prevent the spread of the virus.

Parks Director Jack Jones says the city is facing a similar decision with the Lighted Holiday Stroll Parade, plus the city’s Cocoa Sip & Stroll and the North Pole Stroll events all to be held in December in downtown Seguin. See HOLIDAY, page 2

Council members discussing plans for holiday parade, stroll

HOLIDAY, continued from page 1 The Seguin City Council met last week to begin having some of these discussions about the upcoming holiday season. Jones told the council that staff is still moving forward with plans for the events, but they need to be prepared for whatever the situation calls for at that time. “I think we are in a position like we were when we talked about the July Fourth Parade. The council made a position. Things were looking good, let’s just proceed but let’s keep an eye on things. If things get bad, we can always just cancel or make other alternatives. I think we are in the same boat. Things are looking good. Things are getting better out there but we are still three months away,” said Jones. Jones says some things are beyond the city’s control, but he says they want to be prepared to host some sort of holiday events for the community, even if that means things will have to be modified to try to keep people safer. “We’ve been planning. People are asking. We are prepared to move forward but we are also prepared to go a different direction as well. I’m not sure what direction we are going to go. You could do some things. Some things you can’t do. It just depends on what the governor

is doing and what’s happening with COVID out there, with the parade. We have about 80 entries typically. We got the bands. We’ve got the high schools involved so that’s another layer – that’s to be determined and they may not be allowed to do anything off campus. It’s pretty restricted even on campus,” said Jones. Jones says not as many people show up for the Lighted Holiday Parade in Seguin. The crowd is significantly smaller than what you normally see during the Fourth of July parade. But he says there’s a big difference. He says the density of people crowded into Central Park is much, much higher for the holiday events that officially kick off the Christmas season in Seguin. He says that’s one of the challenges they have in putting on their normal event this year. “The big thing about the stroll is you gather in Central Park. Everybody is together. You have the whole block full of people, lights up, all the Christmas trees, the music, everything, it’s all in Central Park and so a bunch of people are there. It’s shoulder to shoulder. That’s the concern if we are still fighting COVID,” said Jones. Even if their plans have to be modified, Jones says there are still some traditional things that they can still do this year. He says they may just need to shift things around in some cases.

“In the Central Park area, you have about 18 businesses and folks that are doing Christmas trees and that can happen no matter what. You have a Christmas tree contest, decorating and all that stuff but the parade entries, we haven’t gotten too much interest in it yet but we haven’t really put it out as much either. We can certainly start making phone calls and telling folks, ‘hey, we are going to try this but keep in mind, we might need to do Plan B. Plan B might be aesthetic. People drive around and everybody goes to maybe Max Starcke Park East, maybe Seguin Events Complex and do kind of a drive by,” said Jones. The council liked the idea of a static Christmas display being put up somewhere, which would allow people to stay in their cars as they drive by and see the holiday lights. Councilman Jeremy Roy says he supports anything that helps to mitigate the spread of the virus, especially when you consider the fact that we will also be in the middle of flu season. Roy, who at his day job, has gotten to see the tragedy of COVID-19 first hand. Roy is the director of pastoral care at Resolute Health Hospital in New Braunfels. Roy says we can still celebrate Christmas, but some of those public celebrations might look a little bit differently this year. See HOLIDAY, page 3

“If we are making plans to do something really creative, to make things safer and to mitigate the risks, otherwise, I think I would have to be against it. But I don’t know why I have to explain but you all know. I work at a hospital. I saw a tremendous amount of tragedy, loss of life, one of my dear friends, a physician, is now on a lung transplant list and fighting for his life because he took care of COVID patients and the impact it has on healthcare, nurses, doctors and communities, I can’t get behind anything that is not going to go to great lengths to keep our community safe. Even if the numbers are low cause -- they are low thank God. It has made going to work a little bit more normal. But it was not normal for a very long time and I don’t want to go through that again,” said Roy. The city is having this conversation at a time when the COVID-19 numbers are stagnant or generally trending lower, and hospitalization rates are also down. City Manager Steve Parker says they will continue to watch the numbers,

and come up with a plan that keeps the community safe, while also allowing some version of Seguin’s holiday favorites to continue.

hold the event. He says it’s something that they will likely need to decide soon, because they have some deadline approaching.

“We continue to look at the numbers. To be honest, the numbers we state are completely unreliable. They change daily. There’s no reliance on that but we do continue to keep close contact with the hospital. I had a conference call this afternoon. They are still averaging less than one patient per day. They do have four people in the hospital which is a little bit of an uptick. It wasn’t the uptick we were expecting with Labor Day weekend and the schools coming back with sporting events and things like that so that’s a really good thing but it is something we will have to continue to monitor,” said Parker.

“So, we can’t really wait until Nov. 17 to cancel things – like we are already behind in placing the order for mugs because of the fact that we are not sure how many to order. We had already said we were going to do 800 which is 200 less than last year. Now, we are talking about knocking it down to 500 just because if we are not able to have the event, we don’t know how many people are still going to want to purchase the mug. So, the mug is the largest expense of the year for us,” said Kramm.

The parade isn’t the only event that will likely be impacted this year. Kyle Kramm, director of the city’s Main Street program, says that the downtown stroll events, like the popular Cocoa SipN-Stroll will likely have to modified in some way. Kramm says they may just sell the mugs, or find some other way to

Staff will continue working on its plans for this year’s holiday events. They will balance the need for the community to come together and celebrate the holidays, while also making sure that whatever is done is done so safely. The issue will be brought back to the council on November 17, and that’s when the determination will be made if the events can continue, in some form, this year or not.

Grand Opening! Matadors break in new stadium with dominant win over Cedar Creek

(Seguin) - Marques Washington took an option pitch from Micah Rodriguez with 6:29 left in the first quarter of Friday’s season opener and sprinted six yards into the north end zone for the first ever varsity touchdown at the newly rebuilt Matador Stadium. Seguin never looked back in 48-2 romp over Bastrop-Cedar Creek.

give Seguin possession at the Cedar Creek 23-yard line. Bush and offensive coordinator Ben Norton dialed up a trick play on the next snap. Senior receiver Tristan Moreno came in motion from left to right, took the handoff, and tossed a 23-yard touchdown pass to Kai Seidenberger. Garrett Stiles’ third PAT kick put the Mats up 21-0.

“A long time coming,” Seguin head coach Travis Bush said. “Not just the stadium itself, but being able to be out here every day and watch it being built, and see the process. Then of course the spring and summer we’ve had, and really not knowing what the future holds. But extremely proud of these guys. I told them probably in 21 years of coaching, it’s the proudest I’ve ever been of any group. From what they’ve done, how hard they’ve worked since March, even through the quarantine, coming back in June, not knowing what the future holds, but they didn’t flinch at all. They’ve been working their tails off, and it paid off tonight.” The Matadors pushed the lead to 14-0 with John Michael Mata’s three-yard to cap a 13-play, 80-yard drive with 9:46 in the second quarter. Michael Cornelius recovered the ensuing pooch kickoff to

Washington scored his second touchdown from five yards out to punctuate an eightplay, 86-yard drive with 3:23 in the second quarter, and the margin swelled to 28-0.

Ian Box blocked a Cedar Creek punt on the next possession to set up first-andgoal for Seguin at the Eagles’ four-yard line. Rodriguez found Allen Martinez with a touchdown strike, but Cedar Creek blocked the extra point. Davin Winston returned the blocked kick to the opposite end zone, and the Matadors led 34-2. Seguin had a chance to add more points in the closing minute of the half, but a Rodriguez interception ended the first empty possession of the evening.

Panthers rally back from 17 down in home win over Buffaloes (Geronimo) - Navarro treated its home crowd to a fourth quarter for the ages Friday night by erasing a 17-point deficit with three late touchdowns to stun Giddings 21-17 in the final non-district game of the 2020 football schedule at Erwin-Lee Field.

Ortiz broke up the shutout with a five-yard touchdown run to make it a 17-7 game early in the fourth quarter. Navarro recovered the ensuing onside kick, and Ortiz broke loose for a 34-yard touchdown to pull the Panthers within a field goal at 17-14. Ortiz intercepted a Giddings deep in Navarro territory on the next possession with a little more than five minutes to go.

Brody Whitson capped Navarro’s time consuming drive with the winning touchdown in the waning seconds, and Sebastian Sneed drilled his third straight PAT kick to complete the game’s scoring.

Navarro takes a 2-2 record into this Friday’s District 14-4A-Division II opener against ManorNew Tech. Kickoff at Erwin-Lee Field is set for 7:30 p.m.

SEGUIN, continued from page 4

Rodriguez added a 12-yard touchdown pass to Alex Concepcion and called his own number on a read option for a four-yard score to build the final margin in the third quarter. Sophomore defensive end Jayce Cardenas forced and recovered a fumble on a sack of Cedar Creek quarterback Brock McLaughlin to set up the second of those touchdowns. Box, Cardenas, Mata, Martinez, Evrin Contreras, and the rest of the Seguin defensive front consistently harassed McLaughlin and wreaked havoc in the Eagles’ backfield. Bush thoroughly enjoyed watching All-District defenders Mata and Martinez find their way into the end zone as part of the Matadors’ red zone package on offense.

A Seguin defensive unit comprised of backups stifled Cedar Creek’s best scoring opportunity of the night with a fourth down stop deep in Matador territory late in the game. “To see our second and third defense stop their ones on fourth down was pretty exciting for those guys,” Bush said. “They had fun.” After dropping consecutive season openers to San Antonio-Antonian in 2018 and last year, the Matadors take a 1-0 record and momentum into the 108th Guadalupe River Bowl against storied rival New Braunfels.

“Those are great athletes, and we’ve got to use them on both sides of the ball, especially down there on the goal line” the coach said. “So they did a great job. It was fun to get them in the end zone as well, and then to get a lot of guys in on defense.”

“We haven’t started fast the past couple of years, and we like to schedule good people in non-district, and they came out and got after them early,” Bush said. “Defensively, held them every series. Offensively, went down and scored every series. We were able to start fast on them, and get a lot of guys in the game in the second half.

Reserve running-back Jerivan Contreras and fullback Michael Martinez didn’t score touchdowns, but they provided some tough yards between the tackles to help keep the offense moving.

Trump: Redfield Made Mistake With COVID Vaccine Timeline

(Washington, DC) -- President Trump says the CDC director “made a mistake” when talking about a timeline for a coronavirus vaccine. Trump told reporters Robert Redfield put out “incorrect information” about when a vaccine could be available to the general public. Redfield told a congressional hearing earlier Wednesday that probably wouldn’t happen until the middle of next year. But, Trump thinks Redfield “misunderstood the question” and was “confused.” The President has insisted a vaccine would be ready “very soon” and distributed to the public shortly after.

McConnell Says Fewer Youth Using E-Cigarettes

(Washington, DC) -- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the number of young Americans using e-cigarettes has dropped by one-point-eight-million since last year. That’s according to a 2020 national youth tobacco survey from the FDA and CDC. Speaking on the Senate floor, McConnell explained it’s due in part to a bill passed last year. In December, President Trump signed the Tobacco-Free Youth Act, a bipartisan bill which upped the minimum age to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21. He says it hasn’t taken long to see the effects of their legislation.
