Guadalupe County looking to fill County Court at Law Judge position By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(Seguin) -- Do you want to be the newest judge in Guadalupe County? Following the recent retirement announcement, by County Court-at-Law 2 Judge Frank Follis, the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court is inviting interested individuals to submit their applications for the position. Guadalupe County Judge Kyle Kutscher says the appointment will be to fill Follis’ unexpired term of March 1, 2021 to December, 31, 2022. “What we are talking about doing is basically asking those interested individuals that wish to seek the appointment for that unexpired term to basically fill out an application, a questionnaire to go through and basically apply for the job. The commissioners court will

then receive those, review those applications, narrow it down to, depending upon the number of interested individuals, maybe three or five or maybe a few more. We’ll just see how it goes and then interview those individuals and have discussions. As commissioners court, we’ll go through that process just like we did for constable in precinct 1, county judge back in 2012 so like I said, we’ve been through this process a couple of times,” said Kutscher.

judges in a situation where they had to give opinions on the types of cases that they may be hearing and where they can cause problems later on. So, we tried to eliminate some of those things but at the same point, this is a very important appointment. We wanted to have a good understanding of a individual applying for that judgeship so we wanted to be thorough and it’s going to take a little bit of time for individuals to go through but again, we think there’s going to be quite a bit of interest and we wanted to have all the information we could going into it,” said Kutscher.

Kutscher warns that although lengthy, the application is designed specifically to ensure that the best candidates are considered for the position. While the paperwork and job description are clear “We are talking about 30 for the judgeship, Kutscher plus questions that the says the salary will still state of Texas uses on need to be hammered out judicial appointments.

DPS opens first of its kind inspection facility in Seguin

By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera

(They) can actually go down in the pit,” said Nordloh.

(Kingsbury) – Safer big rigs will be hitting Texas roadways thanks to the grand opening of the most stateof-the-art truck inspection facility in the state. Five years in the making, the newly upgraded Seguin Inspection Facility on Interstate 10 East in Kingsbury is now well underway with several features designed to make the inspection of commercial vehicles easier. Chris Nordloh, who oversees the commercial vehicle enforcement program for the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), says the project was accomplished through an industry partnership that involved state, local and federal agencies. Nordloh says TxDOT designed the new facility and Guadalupe County built a four-lane-wide awning for trucks to pull under, screening commercial motor vehicles more quickly. He says this allows trucks that pass the screening to continue on their way while trucks with potential violations are pulled in for further inspection. “In addition to this, you’ll see a 90-foot platform scale. This is the only one in the state of Texas. This is the only one. Most of them are about the size of this one right here where you pull up one axle both the steer axle and both the drive axles and then we pull up the trailer and then we add all the numbers together and we do that and this one

Nordloh says another highlight of the Seguin Inspection Facility is $1 million in technology that helps detect in real time if a truck is following the law.

right here allows us to pull the 18-wheeler up at weigh the entire 18-wheeler at one time and the computer does all the work for us. It’s pretty cool. It’s the only one in the state of Texas. Guadalupe County bought this and had it installed so I want to thank Guadalupe County for your continued support,” said Nordloh. He says the new station also features a pit for DPS Troopers and inspectors to easily inspect brakes, linings, and other items in the undercarriage of an 18-wheeler. “Guadalupe County not just by diverting some funding that they had for a project here in Guadalupe County to develop the bypass lane, they also installed a four lane awning and in that fourth lane right there is an inspection pit and what that does it allows our inspectors and our troopers to actually go down kind of like when you go get your oil change and there is a pit underneath and that’s where they drain the oil.

“Behind you is a bypass lane and what that allows us to do is install streaming technology at the beginning of the ramp that weighs the vehicles in motion. You don’t have to stop them to get a general weight. It weighs them in motion. We have an over height detector so any vehicle that is over 14 feet, the maximum height of most vehicles, it’s flagged. If it’s overweight, it gets flagged. We have a USDOT (number) reader and a license plate reader so we can identify the motor carrier in real time with this equipment behind me so we know who the carrier is as they come through,” said Nordloh. A thermal imaging array can also look at a truck’s wheels and brakes for abnormalities. This ensures the safety of the commercial vehicle as it drives alongside millions of Texans each day. The upgrades to the facility will also now allow the inspection station to be operated at least 40 hours a week and operated by DPS Troopers and commercial motor vehicle inspectors.

Applications now available for those interested in replacing longtime judge JUDGE, continued from page 1 “So, one thing that hasn’t clearly been determined exactly yet is the pay of this position. We know exactly what it is for the judge that currently holds the position because of his years of service. I think it’s between $183,000 and $185,000. A new judge without the years of service will be somewhere around $157,000 to $158,000 without the supplements or the additional pay. So, I want to be clear that we don’t have that determination yet on whether it would be the pay of the current position because it’s the unexpired term. My recommendation would be with those judicial pay structures being so new, I doubt we’ll find any cases where this has taken place but we set out with this unexpired term to be filled that it be at the lower amount unless you get a judge that served, that had

years of service and appointment that qualified and justified based on what the legislature approved to make that pay whatever it would be,” said Kutscher. In laying out the process to fill the position, county officials on Tuesday also thanked Judge Follis for his many years of service to the county. They say with over 42 years of practicing law, they know that filling his shoes will be a difficult one. Applications for the County Court-at-Law 2 position are now available on the county’s website. The deadline to submit an application is 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13. County officials say they hope to decide on an appointment by December first if not by the end of the first week in December.

Seguin wins first two sets, can’t hold on in home loss to Boerne-Champion (Seguin) - Seguin was on the brink of its first District 26-5A volleyballl win Tuesday night, but Boerne-Champion rallied from an 0-2 deficit to hand the Matadors a five-set loss at Goldie Harris Gym. Seguin made the critical plays necessary to eke out 25-23 wins in each of the first two games. The Chargers ramped up their intensity and controlled the third and fourth 25-10, 25-11. The Matadors couldn’t reclaim momentum in the fifth and deciding set as Champion closed it out with a 15-7 win.

Reagan Rodriguez collected 23 digs, Ramon 15. Tresalyn Roberts made an impact at the net with three solo blocks and three block assists. Seguin is staring at an 0-6 district record with plenty of time to still make a move upward in the standings, but with a powerful Dripping Springs squad coming in on Friday. With five weeks gone by in the regular season and the mid-point of district play approaching, Stanley says its time for the team’s youth to stop being an obstacle.

“They came at us stronger, and our confidence level just completely dropped,” Seguin head coach Kristi Stanley said. “I told them it was like the first two games, we couldn’t do much wrong, and those third and fourth sets, we couldn’t do anything right. Our platform would be there, and the ball would shank off. Go up to attack, and it would hit our wrist. It was just a domino effect of one error after another, unfortunately, that we could not come back from.”

play like it.”

Taylor Bode and Kyla Ramon recorded six kills apiece. Reese Brittain set for 15 assists. Julie Kocian delivered three service aces.

Seguin (2-9, 0-6) hosts Dripping Springs at Goldie Harris Gym on Friday at 6:30 p.m.

“We keep saying that we’re young, but eventually we can’t have that excuse any more,” the coach said. “We’ve got people on the court that know what to do. It’s just having the confidence, and we talked about acting like your somebody. Get your shoulders back, act like you’re a big hitter, act like you’re the best defender instead of going out there and thinking, ‘oh, okay, we’re struggling right now, and this is where we are’. It’s anybody’s game any given night, and we’ve got to

Pfizer Plans To Include Children In Its Vaccine Trial

Global Coronavirus Cases Surpass 38 Million

(New York, NY) -- Pfizer plans to include children as young as 12-years-old in its trial for a COVID-19 vaccine. The F-D-A gave the drug giant permission to include younger participants in its clinical trial to see what effect the vaccine has on them and if its effective. It is one of a number of companies that are in the final stage of testing in hopes of having a coronavirus vaccine out soon.

(Undated) -- The global coronavirus case number is hitting another grim milestone. The Johns Hopkins University tally surpassed 38-million on Tuesday. Over one-million83-thousand people have died from the virus globally. The U.S. leads the world in both categories, and combined with India and Brazil, account for over half of the world’s case total.

Top Army Official Ends His Quarantine

Facebook Is Banning Anti-Vax Advertising

(Arlington, VA) -- A top Army official is ending his quarantine after being at a meeting with another military official who came down with the coronavirus. Army Chief of Staff General James McConville attended an in-person briefing Tuesday. He said he was cleared to come back to work and had been tested multiple times. McConville and many members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff went into quarantine after a Coast Guard admiral became infected.

(Mountain View, CA) -- Facebook is banning ads that discourage people from taking vaccines. The social media giant had refused to do so in the past. The announcement comes a day after the company said it would ban posts about denying the Holocaust was a real event. Last week it cracked down on Q-Anon conspiracies.
