Guadalupe County shares latest information on lifting of mask ordinance By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – Not only does Guadalupe County have to fall under Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s threshold for active COVID-19 cases but it also has to hold steady on that decline if it wants to seek his permission to do away with the masks. That’s the latest update provided to the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court by Patrick Pinder, the Guadalupe County emergency management coordinator.

“Here’s the breakdown of the jurisdictions. New Braunfels has zero active cases. Cibolo has four active cases. Seguin has four. Schertz has three. Marion has one. The unincorporated area of the county has seven so a total of 19. I know people are going to see that active number at 19 and they are going to
say ‘oh well, the governor said under 20, we can remove the mask order so I did find out that you have to be under 20 for 30 days before the governor’s office will even consider removing the mask order. So, tomorrow that number could jump back up once again so we are not at that point yet but
Milk mustaches
we will continue to monitor the active cases and I’ll brief the court when we have reached a point where I think we can submit that letter from the county judge to try to lift that mask order if the court wishes,” said Pinder. Pinder says new reporting changes that have been thrown in recently by the state have made seeing that downward trend more difficult. See MASK, page 3

Record number of entities to use local elections office for November election Elections office sees increase in mail ballots Lake McQueeney and Lake Placid WCID’s.
Hayes says much of the work for her office has also been with the interest in mail ballots. She says staff has been working steadily to keep up with the demand and their return.
By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) – Election day may be November 3 but for the people behind the scenes, the work is now. That’s according to the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court who gave praise to its elections office for the work that is being put into making sure that this year’s November election is not only smooth but also safe and secure. Not only has the Presidential, General Election, generated plenty of interests from voters but the number of entities requesting a spot on the ballot is more than ever. That’s according to Lisa Hayes, Guadalupe County Elections Administrator. “This year, it’s a little bit different because normally, we have about nine entities that end up contracting with us. We start off with 10 or 11 and then most of them cancel. We actually have 16 entities contracting for November, so we have a lot of ballot going on there. We have a 19-inch paper ballot. Some ballot styles are only one side. Some are two depending on the ballot style but we’ve got a lot of entities having elections for this November so we need to get these joint agreements signed and sent off so it’s been a busy year,” said Hayes. Those 16 entities contracting with the elections office include the cities of Seguin, Schertz, Selma, Marion, New Berlin, New Braunfels, Staples along with the school districts of Seguin, New Braunfels, Marion, San Marcos CISD, Navarro and Nixon Smiley CISD. Others on the list are Green Valley Special Utility District, Crystal Clear Special Utility District and Lone Oak Farm Municipal Utility District. Officials say of course, the local lake associations who want to become a Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) are also part of the list this November as they look to become a funding source for the repair and restoration of their respective bodies of water. Those entities include Lake Dunlap,
“We’ve had tremendous mail ballot business. Normally, we do about 4,700 mail ballots. I ran the numbers this morning, so I can tell you this, we have mailed 6,750 ballots right now so far. We had 780 back yesterday returned – 69 people walked them in and the rest of them mailed them in. So, I’ve got people at the counter just accepting hand delivered mail ballots which with the governor’s extension of early voting, the voters can do. The response has tremendous and having to add those candidates to the ballot this last week, we had everything ready to mail. We had to make a change, pull everything, reprint, extend it all out again. Friday, we heard that a federal judge said we needed to add straight party back to the ballot. The state asked for a stay. We got a temporary stay yesterday afternoon. We may have to redo everything all over again. I don’t know but we’ll make it work because that’s what we do. It’s not our fault. It’s not the voter’s fault. We are just going to make it work but the voter interest in in this election is tremendous as we would expect in a presidential. I just think COVID has added a whole other level with the larger than normal number of mail ballot requests,” said Hayes. Thanks to a pair of elections held earlier this year, Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher says the Guadalupe County Elections Office has already illustrated its safeguards against COVID-19. He says on top of an already popular election, he is proud of the efforts that have gone into keeping voters safe at the polls. “I think all of the efforts that you and your staffed have made to make it safe for people to come in person to vote and have contactless interaction. It’s very seamless. People grab a Q-tip. They don’t have to touch the machines. They throw it away. That was genius because it’s a very simple and inexpensive way for people to be clean and safe. They come in, vote. They don’t have to around a bunch of people and touch stuff that everybody else has touched. So, I want people to have that confidence. It’s not only in the security of the system because of all the work that you do with IT and all those things to keep things completely separate from the outside world but also let the public know that they can be confident that it is a very clean and separate process when you go into vote now. It’s very quick. You don’t have to be around a bunch of people or touch everything everybody has touched so show up and vote. The last day to register to vote is Oct. 5 and then early voting starts on Oct. 13 so it’s right around the corner. People need to know those dates,” said Kutscher. Sample ballots for the Nov. 3 election can be found on the election page at co.guadalupe.tx.us.

Mexican Mafia member found with hundreds of credit card numbers, drugs
grams of narcotics, a firearm plus hundreds of credit cards and numbers not in his name. The Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit says Ricardo Zamora, 51, was arrested just after 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 23 at the home located in the 400 block of W. Cedar Street.
Ricardo Zamora By Cindy AguirreHerrera (Seguin) – A local man is behind bars after a search warrant at a local home led to the seizure of several
Investigators say Zamora is a confirmed Mexican Mafia
gang member who was in possession of 34.17 grams of heroin, 41.15 grams of methamphetamine, 3.74 grams of marijuana, and a handgun. Additionally, investigators were able to locate multiple debit cards that were not in his name and over 500 credit card numbers inside his home. Zamora was arrested and booked into the Guadalupe County Adult Detention Center. Zamora is charged with
the manufacture and delivery plus possession of controlled substances, unlawful possession, use identifying information and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. The Guadalupe County Narcotics Unit is composed of narcotics investigators from the sheriff’s office, Seguin Police Department Special Crimes detectives, and Cibolo Police Department narcotics detectives.
County gets latest COVID-19 update
MASK, continued from page 1
“Currently, we have 3, 875 total cases. Nineteen of those are active, 622 cases are still pending. There’s been 43 deaths reported to our office. Last week, GRMC reported four hospitalized patients. They are still running an average of one but at that time last week, there were four in the hospital. We have 3,767 people who have recovered from COVID and then the To Be Determined (TBD) category, there are still 46 people in that category. We did get some information from the state yesterday on that To Be Determined, they are starting to classify those folks as recovered so you’ll start seeing our recovered number going up a little bit to be reflective of the current numbers from the 1,600 that were added last week. So just giving you an idea of
what we are seeing in the county,” said Pinder.
Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher says of course, any decision in moving forward will be done with the respect of all municipalities within the county. “The first thing that we would do is have further conversations with all the mayors to make sure because you’ve got high concentration, population within the municipalities and to find out how those folks will be impacted by that and I was going to bring this up again today -- I think we just need to continually talk about that active case number, the continuation, what that average is looking like and if we are creeping right around that, I think the public is still going to have an interest in removing that,” said Kutscher.
Kutscher says although residents have expressed their own thoughts in moving forward, he hopes to continue to lead in a direction that is best for everyone.
“I think we all like we talked about a couple of weeks ago want to go back to some type of normalcy. But at the same point, I had a few people call saying that no matter what the numbers are, they want to leave them on. So, still very divided as a community and the thought on that, some people are going to think these numbers are so low because we’ve kept all of these restrictions on but I think we need to continually communicate to the public, it’s about personal responsibility. The government can tell you to do a lot of things but the people wearing masks right now have chosen themselves to take that direction and wear a mask whether the state, the county or city tells you you should. If you feel like
that’s protecting your family, the community, then you can do that whether we tell you to or not. I want people to be mindful of that. We’ve got an election coming up. Tensions are high, all this stuff going on but we’ve done a very very good job as a county, as multiple communities within a county, working with each other, putting those divisive kind of conversations to the side as a whole coming together saying how can we do the right thing to protect all of us,” said Kutscher.
Updates on the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to be provided during each regular commissioner’s court meeting and every Tuesday and Thursday via the county’s website. Those numbers can also be found on the county emergency management office’s Facebook page.

(Geneva) -- The World Health Organization is announcing it will make 120-million rapid coronavirus tests available to low and middle income countries. The W-H-O says the plan is not yet fully funded and 600-million-dollars is needed to make it happen. W-H-O Director-General Doctor Tedros Ghebreyesus [[ TEDrohs GEH-bree-ay-suhs ]] said this will enable the expansion of testing, particularly in areas that do not have lab facilities or enough trained health workers to carry out tests. He added that they have an agreement with seed funding, but they still need the full amount of funds.
