Texas Governor announces latest business deal in Seguin during trip to Japan

Groundbreaking for new manufacturing plant set for Tuesday on Interstate 10

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- Groundbreaking plans are already in place tomorrow for the construction of a new composites manufacturing facility in Seguin.

The announcement of the Continental Structural Plastics or CSP plant was made on Friday in Japan. On hand to do the honors in Tokyo was Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Abbott says CSP, a Teijin Group Company, is a world leader in lightweight composite technologies, including glass and carbon fibers, thermoplastics, and thermosets.

Abbott says the project will create 200 new jobs and more than $65 million in capital investment.

"I am proud to welcome Continental Structural Plastics to the Lone Star State, and look forward to the important role they will play in the Texas success story," said Governor Abbott. "Thanks to their investment, Texas will continue to lead the way in job creation, innovation, and economic prosperity."

Helping shed more details behind this business deal for the city is Josh Schneuker, executive director of the Seguin Economic Development Corporation. Schneuker says first off, Continental Structural Plastics should not be

mistaken as being part of Continental Automotive already here in Seguin. Instead, it's the first Texas facility for the company which largely operates facilities in the Midwest/Mid Atlantic area.

"CSP is actually headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan and they are going to be building about 200,000 square feet of manufacturing space on the SEDC's property directly in front of Niagara Bottling so if you have driven by there in recent days, you've probably seen a substantial amount of construction underway already. They were very eager to get started but they actually are going to be manufacturing pick up boxes at that facility primarily supplying some of their customers in the San Antonio area like Toyota and they also have other customers throughout Texas that are in the automotive industry and throughout the southeast as well," said Schneuker.

Schneuker says the CSP deal with Seguin was announced at the end of last week's visit in Japan by the governor. He says the visit was dubbed as a mission trip in which the Governor brought an array of Texas business leaders to the table for possible future negotiations with Japanese companies. Schneuker says he too was honored to be among the cast of Texas leaders.

Today marks deadline for park survey City of Seguin looking to surpass new goal of 1,500 surveys by midnight a different direction.' That will be coming out over the course of the next two or three months. There will be a preliminary draft released and we'll get some public input on that," said Jones.

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- There's only a few more hours for you to chime in on what you'd like to see in the city's park system. The city's park survey will wrap up today at midnight. Throughout the month of September, the Seguin Parks and Recreation Department has been promoting the 20 question online survey.

angelpest.com 830.379.3277

“We’ll get those little devils!”

MIRACULOUS PRAYER Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for favors.

This time I ask you this very special one (mention favor).

Take it dear Jesus and place it within your own broken heart where your father sees it, then in your merciful eyes it will become your favor, not mine. Amen.

Say this prayer for 3 days, promise publication and favor will be granted.

Jones says having a goal of 1,500 completed surveys is not much to ask for especially when the city includes a population of 30,006 people. He says this effort is all about making sure everyone's opinion counts.

As today's deadline nears, Jack Jones, the director of the Seguin Parks and Recreation Department, says the city has increased its overall goal for completed surveys in hopes of collecting as many ideas as possible.

"Today is the deadline at midnight and so we are currently at around 1,279 or so surveys returned and we are hoping for one more push for a possible 1,500 surveys returned to us," said Jones.

In June 2019, the Seguin City Council unanimously approved the selection of Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to develop the Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Spaces Master Plan Update for the City of Seguin. Jones says since then, Stantec staff has worked closely with the parks and recreation department in rolling out this survey. He says the overall idea behind the survey is to pull together the needs and wishes of the public.

ples of how this process works. He says the projects were included in a 2005 city master plan and implemented several years following the approval of a bond issue. After today, Jones says the real work begins.

He says they want to hear what types of amenities or facilities they would like to see or what programs they'd like for the park's department to host.

Jones again shares how Park West and the Splash Pad are perfect exam-

"Of course, there are going to be things that really really are needed and there's things that are less needed and so you basically put together a list of priorities one down to 20 or 25 or 30.

So, there's going to be a lots of analysis coming in to us by our our consultants at Stantec and they'll put together the recommendations from the survey and then, we will release that to the public in the form of kind of a draft master plan and we'll start getting some input on that. Okay, here's the results of the survey. Here is the direction that we are going in and give folks an opportunity to (say) 'we like were you are going' or 'no, we need to go in

"People are genuinely happy to participate in this survey given the numbers that have returned to us already.

People want to know or they want to tell us what they want to see in Seguin Parks and Recreation between now and the next 10 years. What do we want? What do we need? You see the excitement. You see people genuinely happy to give their input with all the shares and likes that we are getting on our social media and of course on the KWED social media. It is just seems like it's taken off, this survey and the excitement is building.

So now, after this is done tonight at midnight, then we get to see the results and that is really going to be exciting of what people have told us," said Jones.

A link to the survey can be found on the KWED/Seguin Daily News and the Seguin Parks and Recreation Facebook pages. Individuals can also use a mobile device to scan a QR Code on the 2019 Parks Master Plan webpage found on the city's website at www.seguintexas.gov.

A trip to Toyota World Headquarters was also in order for Seguin’s Economic Development Director and other Texas partners who were invited by Texas Governor Greg Abbot to participate in the Texas Japan Business Mission trip in Tokyo. Courtesy photo.

PLANT, continued from page 1 "The governor was accompanied with members of his economic development staff from the state office. Also the Texas Economic development Corporation was there and then the rest of the group was made up of local economic development organizations. We had representation from Dallas, San Antonio, San Marcos, pretty much all over the state. With us having the announcement at the tail end of the trip, we were invited to come along and be a part of that. It was a great opportunity for us in Seguin because we were able to meet with corporate folks actually at the Toyota World Headquarters, different Toyota suppliers and we are going to get right back to work and try to keep new investment, new job creation growing in Seguin," said Schneuker.

According to Schneuker, the company was also the recipient of a Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) grant totaling $783,750. He says a TEF helps define the proposed salaries for the various jobs. In this case, Schneuker says CSP has estimated its average salary at $45,000.

Schneuker reports that CSP is also known for "over delivering" when it comes to its proposed wages.

"One thing that really kind of excites us about this project is that it is a Texas Enterprise Fund Project and really what that means is the wages for this project have to meet or exceed the county average annual wage in order to even be considered for Texas Enterprise Fund designa-

tion by the state. So, we are very excited. We want to create jobs in Seguin but we also want to create well paying jobs in Seguin and I think this is going to be a company that is going to really go above and beyond what they've promise. They have manufacturing facilities in other communities and we are very excited just the involvement that they have in other communities. What they give back, that is really the grand slam for us if we can create new jobs, new investments, well paying jobs and then also that company that gives back to the community and makes it a better place, it really makes this all worthwhile at the end of the day," said Schneuker.

Schneuker says this is an exciting time for Seguin. He says this is the second Japanese business deal to be struck up in recent months for Guadalupe County.

"There are so many Japanese businesses that have started making substantial investments in Texas and recently with the Toyota expansion announcement in San Antonio and then very close to us off Interstate 10 within the city of Cibolo is another Japanese company called Aisin AW that will be building a manufacturing facility there so we've just seen a pretty significant influx of investments by Japanese companies and Seguin is really blessed to be a beneficiary of this project working with a Japanese based company and gaining new investments in our community," said Schneuker.

Steve Rooney, CEO of Continental Structural Plastics, says his company couldn't be more pleased with the support that it has received from the state of Texas.

Jun Suzuki, president and CEO of Teijin Limited, also applauds all efforts and looks forward to beginning operations.

"Continental Structural Plastics will play a key role in the future of our important Composites Business Unit, and we truly appreciate the cooperation we have received from the State of Texas to support CSP's continued growth. We look forward to a long and mutually-prosperous relationship with the State of Texas and the Seguin community," said Suzuki."

Local leaders are also speaking out on this deal. Seguin Mayor Don Keil says he welcomes this latest manufacturing partner for Seguin.

"Seguin's strategic location, skilled workforce and pro-business government make us an attractive option for businesses looking to expand. We are extremely excited to announce this project and look forward to a long and mutually-beneficial relationship with Continental Structural Plastics," says Keil.

Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher is also thrilled about this added economic boost along Interstate 10.

"We are delighted that Continental Structural Plastics has selected the City of Seguin and Guadalupe

County to build their new manufacturing facility. This project will help create excellent employment opportunities for our residents and help grow our economic base. We are proud that they have chosen to do business in Guadalupe County," said Kutscher.

Schneuker says not only will the new company create more jobs, but it will help with the city's efforts in retail recruitment.

"It's been something that we've already been having discussion with retail brokers. I know it's news that a developer in San Antonio is going to be doing a project over at 46 and C.H. Matthies that we anticipate breaking some of the first portions of that project - breaking ground before the end of the year and we are using this and some of the other developments that are taking place in the area to really sell Seguin. All the activity that is happening here is that this is a really solid place to really make an investment and if you are in business, Seguin will get you a really good return on that investment and we are just excited to continue working and continuing to grow Seguin," said Schneuker.

Schneuker says the SEDC has worked for nearly a year on securing this project.

The building is expected to be completed in 10 months. The actual operation for the facility, however, won't be until December 2020. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday at 2050 8th Street near the corner of Rio Nogales Dr.

PRAYER TO ST. JUDE May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adorned, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever.

Sacred Heart of Jesus pray for us St. Jude worker of miracles, pray for us.

St. Jude helper of the hopeless situations, pray for us.

Say this prayer nine times a day by the 8th day your prayer will be answered. Say it for 9 days.

It has never been known to fail.

Panthers survive tough test from Giddings, head into bye week undefeated (Geronim) - Navarro takes a perfect 5-0 recoxrd into the open weeek of its 2019 football schedule after staving off a scrappy Giddings bunch 46-32 in the the final non-district game of the season Friday at Erwin-Lee Field.

The Panthers trailed in a game for the first time this year when Giddings running-back Chad Adams scampered into the end zone from 10 yards out with a little more than four minutes left in the fourth quarter to put the Buffaloes in front 32-29.

Jean "MoMo" Sims came up with his third blocked extra point of the game after the touchdown, and Myles McCord returned it the length of the field to the opposite end zone for two Navarro points to leave the deficit at 32-31.

Navarro reclaimed the lead, 39-32, on the ensuing possession when Euler Deleon broke multiple tackles for a 20-yard touchdown run, his fourth of the night, and followed it with a two-point conversion run. Giddings still had three minutes to work with and moved the ball to its own 45 yard line on the next drive, but Navarro linebacker Brody Whitson knocked Buffaloes quarterback Alex DeLaTorre out of bounds on a fourth down play to give possession back to the Panthers.

Sophomore quarterback Nick Billings broke loose up the middle for a 35-yard touchdown a few plays later to put the game on ice.

"It was what we needed," Blount said of the tightly contested game. "We knew it was going to be a tough game coming in. They matched up well with us. They did an awesome job of stepping up right when we needed it. We got a stop when we needed it there at the end, and were able to punch it in." The game didn't start with the look or feel of a close contest. Navarro held Giddings without a first down and forced punts on the Buffaloes first two possessions and jumped out to a 14-0 lead with touchdown runs of 41 and 46 yards by Deleon in the first quarter.

Giddings came storming back to tie the game at 14-all with a quarterback sneak from a yard out by DeLaTorre and a 46-yard touchdown from DeLaTorre to Gage Jahne, followed by a twopoint conversion hook-up by the same two players, but the deadlock only lasted a few seconds.

McCord sprinted pass 11 Buffaloes with the ensuing kick return for an 83-yard touchdown, Whitson tacked on a two-point conversion run, and Navarro was back on top 22-14 midway through the second period.

Adams found a crease and raced away from the Navarro defense for a 45 yard touchdown on the next Giddings possession. Panthers nose tackle David Reyna stuffed the two-point conversion attempt at the one-yard line to preserve a 22-20 lead that held through halftime.

Navarro engineered its longest drive of the night to start the third quarter, chewing up nearly seven minutes of clock to march 75 yards and build a 2920 lead with a six-yard Deleon scamper and Sebastian Sneed PAT kick.

Giddings responded with its own methodical drive, marching 65 yards and pulling within three, 29-26, on an Adams run in the waning seconds of the third period.

Sims blocked the PAT kick to keep the Panthers in front by three heading into the final stanza.

The blocked kicks by Sims kept three points off the board for Giddings, while the long returns for a touchdown and safety by McCord produced eight Navarro points for net swing of 11 points on special teams.

"It was big, and it was something we worked on

all week," Blount said. "I knew it was going to be a tight ballgame, and we told them all week special teams was going to be the difference. We were able to get a kickoff return, got a two-point off them blocked, and it was awesome."

Deleon finished with 156 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 14 carries, lifting his season totals to 801 yards and 13 scores through five games.

Billings ended up with 71 yards and the one late score on just six carries.

Navarro survived a Giddings offensive effort that produced 379 total yards (177 rushing, 202 passing) on the night. The loss dropped the Buffaloes' season record to 1-4.

The Panthers have two weeks to prepare for the District 13-4A-Division II opener against Llano, slated for Oct. 11 at Erwin-Lee Field, and hope to field a healthy team against the improved Yellow Jackets (4-1).

"We've got a couple of guys we're hoping to get back this week and get them back into the flow, get back working next week," Blount said. "This is the test that we needed. We got pushed to the limit. This is the best we've been pushed so far, and we get better from games like this."

Marion football outlasts Randolph in district opener (Universal City) - The Marion Bulldogs took Randolph's best shots early and late and managed to leave Universal City with a 31-28 win over the Ro-Hawks in the District 15-3ADivision I opener for both programs.

Zach Goodwin's late five-yard touchdown run proved the difference at the end of a game Marion trailed by as many as 14 and led by as many as 10.

Randolph put the Bulldogs in an early 14-0 hole with a three-yard touchdown run by Jaden Arthur and a 37-yard scoring strike from Jack Morrison to Maximus Hill in the first quarter.

Marion responded with 24 straight points from

late in the first quarter to early in the third to build a double-digit lead.

Goodwin hit Jacob Devora with touchdown passes of 16, 17, and one yard, and Juan Ortiz drilled a 36-yard field goal during that span.

The Ro-Hawks awakened to reclaim the lead with a short run by Morrison and a 34-yard fumble return by Arthur. The Bulldogs trailed 2824 entering the fourth quarter before rallying to win the game.

Goodwin finished 12-20 for 169 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. He also led Marion in rushing with 51 yards and the late score on 10 carries.

Ray Rayos chipped in with 44 rushing yards on 18 attempts, and Jayden Williams carried it eight times for 34 yards.

Devora coralled three receptions, all touchdowns, for a total of 60 yards.

Hutch Rabenaldt totaled 54 receiving yards on four catches. Samuel Montoya pulled in a 27-yard grab, and Dillon Blakely caught two passes for 17 yards.

Marion is 3-2 overall, 1-0 in district play, and rides a two-game winning streak into this Friday's 153A-Division I showdown with San Antonio-Cole at Veterans Stadium this Friday.

wooded and you will have broken limbs every time the wind blows. Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center had an interesting hackberry pro and con article on their website. Two experts debated the merits of the hackberry. The tree is very tolerant of growing conditions and has a large native range. It is important for wildlife because the berries are eaten by birds and its leaves are the larval food of butterflies and moths. On the other hand, they have heavy infestations of mistletoe, every seed sprouts and you will find them in all your beds, and falling limbs and trees cause constant clean up. (I can agree with this. I have spent much money the last couple of years having broken trees cut down and removed.)

Q: How do I tell the difference between soapberry trees and chinaberry trees? I have one or the other on my property and can’t tell the difference. I certainly don’t want chinaberry because they Q: I would like to plant some ornamental grasses in my landare so invasive. scape. What do you suggest?

A: The monthly e-newsletter from Texasinvasives.org had a nice article on the chinaberry tree in August. It gave a way to tell the difference between the two trees when they both have fruit. Chinaberry fruit remains opaque during the winter. Soapberry fruit are translucent. During the growing season, chinaberry leaves have a lacy look and a musky odor with lavender flowers in the spring. Soapberry flowers are cream colored. Chinaberry are certainly invasive and are found in many of our Seguin parks. The tree was introduced in the middle 1800s from Asia. The Texas Department of Agriculture will not let the tree be sold, distributed or imported.

Q: My hackberry trees are starting to split and fall. How old do they get in this area?

A: I found one source that said 20 to 30 years. However, remember that they are weak

A: My very favorite grass, particularly this time of year, is Gulf or coastal muhly (Muhlenbergia capillaris) which is a Texas native plant. It is a short grass, one and a half to two feet tall, and has pink fuzzy seed heads in the fall. It is absolutely gorgeous when the sun shines through it. I check my plants and the ones in the Park West pollinator garden frequently to see if they are in bloom yet. Another favorite grass, also a Texas native, is inland sea oats (Chasmanthium latifolium). This grows to two feet and has ornamental seed heads during the summer and fall. The foliage sort of looks like very small bamboo, but doesn’t have that nasty bamboo-like habit of taking over the world.

FYI: It is time for falling leaves again. Rather than throwing them away, mow them with your mulching mower. If you just have a few on your lawn, leave them in place. If you have a lot, gather the mowed leaves and use for mulch in your flower or vegetable beds or put in your mulch pile. Bags of leaves can also be taken to the nearest community garden.
