Seguin City Council approves resolution opposing GBRA's plan to drain lakes By Darren Dunn (Seguin) -- The Seguin City Council is joining the growing chorus of voices taking a stand against a plan to drain area hydroelectric lakes. Council members on Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution opposing GBRA's plan to drain lakes McQueeney, Placid, Meadow Lake and Gonzales. They would join lakes Dunlap and Wood, which are already at lower levels due to spillgate failures at both lakes. GBRA has made it clear that the lakes, which are formed by hydroelectric dams on the Guadalupe River, need to be lowered to prevent any more dam failures and to keep the public safe.

The council approved the resolution which raises concerns about the economic impact the move would have on the community. Prior to the vote, the council heard from a few residents who live along Meadow Lake, inside the Seguin city limits. Sydney Burton serves as secretary for the newly formed Meadow Lake Nolte Dam Association (MLNDA). She told the council that all of the lakes are special and should be spared the dewatering process. Burton says she wanted to remind the council that while all the lakes should be protected, Meadow Lake represents a unique and beautiful part of the city of Seguin. See RESOLUTION, page 2

Seguin invited to listen to former NFL player, Academic Heisman winner By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Seguin) -- The words "the brain" and "the legend" go hand in hand especially when it comes to talking about what many say is "arguably the most unique and well-rounded player in NFL history." Texas Lutheran University tonight is officially kicking off another year of prestigious speakers and special performers with John Urschel, former All BIG-10 Conference offensive lineman at Penn State and former offensive guard/center for the Baltimore Ravens. Ashlie Ford, TLU director of marketing and communications,

says Urschel is no doubt legendary in everything he has and will continue to accomplish. "John Urschel is the first speaker in our annual Brown Series of Cultural Events. He will be here tonight. He is a former NFL player with the Baltimore Ravens and he is also a mathematician so he is somebody that has been in so many different areas and when he was at Penn State, he was actually the recipient of something called the Campbell Award which is known as the Academic Heisman and that's given to college football players who possess the best combination of academics, community service and on field performance so he is really somebody that we think our students will identify with because one third of our students are also athletes so he understands what it is like going

Urschel graduated from Penn State in four years with both an undergraduate and master's degree and all while maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA. He also published multiple papers in prestigious mathematics and scientific journals, taught two undergraduate math classes, and anchored the offensive line, starting every game of his junior and senior years.

City of Seguin officially takes stand against draining of local lakes RESOLUTION, continued from page 1

“We’ll get those little devils!” 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 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. Never known to fail. M.M. & G.C.

"The economic impact should be something we are all concerned with and I think your resolution will be one more tool in our toolbox to address this problem that we are trying to overcome. It's going to impact every business segment in our county," said Mueller.The city wasn't alone on Tuesday in its effort to prevent the lakes from being dewatered. The Seguin Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors also presented its own resolution in opposition to GBRA's plan for the lakes. Chamber President Kendy Gravett read their resolution to the council. The document laid out some of the chamber's main concerns with the current plan.

"Meadowlake, in particular, is so very special. It's really the heart of Seguin. It has been touted in numerous publications as a draw to our great city. It offers public access for fishing, swimming, canoeing and kayaking. It's advertised in publications statewide as being on the Texas Paddling Trail and it's a drawing card for our chamber of commerce and visitor and convention folks to bring in more business and more visitors to our precious town," said Burton. Burton and her husband, Rodney, operated Vogue Shoes in downtown Seguin for decades, and she told the council that she believes the draining of the lakes will negatively impact the local economy. She says its impact will be much more widespread than some may think. "Rodney and I know the effects this crisis will have on retailers especially mom and pop ones like ours throughout the city. We don't have to tell you how this situation affects the health of our economy. All types of businesses will suffer and therefore all of their employees as a consequence -- not to mention the loss in property tax and sales tax revenue to the city, schools and county. That knowledge is why you are here today to step up and send a message to GBRA and that you want to save Seguin. We want to envision a course of continuing forward in building a strong city and community not going 10 steps back as a result of a forced crisis. We so appreciate your commitment to the citizens of Seguin and look forward to working with you and other partners to solve this emergency," said Burton.

Jacy Robbins, president of Meadowlake Nolte Dam Association (MLNDA) Photo by Miriam Jones The economic impact on the city, Guadalupe County and the Seguin and Navarro school districts are a big part of the concerns raised by those who spoke before the council on Tuesday. Local businessman Paul Mueller, who is helping the effort to stop the draining of Lake McQueeney, reminded the council that the city does indeed have a small part of Lake McQueeney in its jurisdiction. Mueller says a comprehensive economic impact study is currently being conducted, and he says he expects it to demonstrate just how damaging it will be to drain the lakes.

"The lake systems in Guadalupe County are a vital and attractive natural resource and whereas, the lake systems in Guadalupe County have a substantial contribution to the tax revenue of our school districts, municipalities and county government and whereas the lake systems in Guadalupe County attract and benefit economic development efforts in our region," said Gravett. Gravett says they polled their membership before the board voted to approve the resolution, and there was overwhelming support from their members. She says they were clear that they wanted GBRA to have a plan in place before draining any of the lakes. Gravett expressed that the chamber's board and its members have resolved to be part of the solution moving forward, and they want GBRA to reconsider its current plan of action, which calls for the lakes to be drained on September 16.

Former Baltimore Ravens player John Urschel to speak in Seguin tonight an athlete and a scholar and he talks about his career after the NFL as a academic but also working with companies like Texas Instruments and General Electric. He's been featured in Rolling Stones, on ESPN, on HBO. So, he's somebody that I think a lot of audiences will find something appealing about and I bet there's a lot of people where his interest in areas intersect like theirs do," said Ford. On July 27, 2017, Urschel, nominated for Sports Illustrated "Sportsman of the Year" announced his retirement from the NFL after three seasons when The Baltimore Sun article reported about the Journal of the American Medical Association study on the prevalence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy in deceased players. Urschel is currently a Dean of Science Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology pursuing a Ph.D. in Mathematics with a focus on spectral graph theory, numerical linear algebra, and machine learning. URSCHEL, continued from page 1 Ford says he is the author of "Mind and Matter: A Life in Football," where he reveals the lesser-known passion for mathematics that inspired his double life as an athlete and scholar. "I think one of the things that stands out most about John Urschel is the

So, he's appealing to all kinds of audiences whether you are a NFL fan, whether you are really into math or physics, whether you have been following the effects of traumatic brain injuries on football players. He really, in his book 'Mind and Matter: A Life in Football,' he delves into all of those different topics and explains how he experienced them as

Ford says she hopes individuals and families come out to join TLU students for tonight's presentation. Again, she says Urschel kicks off another great schedule of presentations made possible by the TLU Jessie S. and Jack Harold Upton Brown Cultural Enrichment Endowment Fund. See URSCHEL, page 7

Business owners voice concerns on economic impact of dewatering lakes RESOLUTION, continued from page 2 "The Seguin Area Chamber of Commerce hereby finds that it is in the best interest of the chamber and its members to join in on the efforts along with all governmental, regulatory and impacted parties working together expeditiously to develop a long range plan with shared responsibility for preventing the collapse of our lakes and ensuring their revitalization," said Gravett. Adrian Davila, of Davila's BBQ, says his restaurant has loyal customers from the lakes and from GBRA, and he thanked them all. He walked a fine line when making his comments, but also stated that if the lakes were drained, it would not be a good thing for his business. "These things drastically would affect us because the lake and the business and those people -- they are a big part of our business and our strategy and that would really drastically affect (us). Even restaurants such as us rely on the tourism and I think bringing those people in and out of the community -- it's an oblivious big part of our community and a big economic impact would be severe," said Davila. The MLNDA group in Seguin may be new, but the group is growing fast. It held a public meeting on Saturday at the Seguin Public Library, and MLNDA President Jacy Robbins says they are grow-

ing because people care about these lakes, and not just people who live on them. Robbins thanked the city council for taking action to help stop the lakes from being drained. He says they are moving forward with the help of a large coalition of lake residents and stakeholders, who are working together to come with a short term strategy and a long term solution to the problems on the hydroelectric lakes. "We have a path forward. We want to work with you guys. Now, as that plan develops -- we have a path forward but that path forward can develop and change. We started talks with city officials and will continue those talks and hopefully, be able to solve this thing which I think we can," said Robbins. Lakes groups have been joined recently by a growing list of public officials, who are hoping that another solution can be considered by GBRA. The group includes prosecutors, law enforcement officials, and political leaders at the state, county and local levels. Meanwhile, GBRA officials have stated over and over again that it understands that this is not a popular decision, but they believe it is the only solution that guarantees that people are kept safe from the dams. GBRA says the dams, which are 90 years old, are unsafe and people should be out of those areas for recreation.

NYC Measles Outbreak Declared Over, Emergency Order To Be Lifted (New York, NY) -- New York City's measles outbreak is over. That's according to the City Health Commissioner who says two incubation periods have passed without any new infections. The city has had 654 confirmed measles cases, mostly in Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn, since the outbreak began last October. That prompted an emergency order requiring that people in those neighbors be vaccinated or face fines but that order is being lifted. More than 12-hundred measles cases have been confirmed in 30 states with more than 75-percent linked to outbreaks in New York City and Rockland County.

Non-Profit Group Pushes For Paid Leave For Expectant Moms In U.S. (Seattle, WA) -- A non-profit group that works for the well-being of mothers and young children around the world is trying to expand paid maternity leave in the United States.

Lucy Sullivan, the executive director of One-Thousand Days, says paid leave reduces the risk of C-sections and life-threatening complications for moms and babies. She says it's estimated that providing 12 weeks of paid leave in the U.S. would result in six-hundred fewer babies dying in America each year.

NYC And Federal Data Suggests Texting While Walking Not So Deadly (New York, NY) -- It appears texting while walking may be less deadly than some people think, at least along the streets of New York City. According to a report from the city Department of Transportation, since 2017 only two pedestrian deaths have involved cell phone use, and that's out of hundreds of cases. One victim was using their mobile device at the time of impact, while the other was bending over to pick their phone up. While the DOT does express growing concerns over texting-while-walking, they say there's little concrete evidence linking it to pedestrian injury or fatality.

I want to thank this community for supporting KWED the Seguin Daily News, and www.seguintoday.com. We greatly value your support, and it’s important for us to stop and say “thank you.” It’s an exciting time for our company. We’re pleased to announce a great change that’s coming to the Seguin Daily News. The SDN is getting a major upgrade. It’s going all digital on Monday, September 9. That means it will be available to you anytime you want it, wherever you are. You will no longer have to go hunting for a copy of the Seguin Daily News. It will be easily accessible to you via your mobile device, tablet or personal computer. We’ll be delivering our newspaper directly to you, and it will still be Free to you each day. There will be a number of ways to access our new all-digital Seguin Daily News, but the primary access point will be via our website, www.seguintoday.com. Once there, you can access the full version of the SDN, including all stories and ads. SDN advertisers will not only have their ads seen by our readers online, but our readers will also be able to click on links in the actual digital paper that will deliver those customers directly to the places where those goods and services are sold. Again, this major upgrade to the Seguin Daily News happens on Monday, September 9. If that date rings a bell, it should. September 9 is a special date for KWED, and for the Seguin community. In 1948, it was the day that KWED Radio first went on the air. In celebration of our 71st birthday, we are giving ourselves, our clients and the community this big gift -- an all-digital Seguin Daily News. For those of you, who think you are not very tech savvy, we will be heavily promoting “how to access the Seguin Daily News” information on the radio, in the SDN itself and online at www.seguintoday.com. I hope that you are as excited as we are about this digital upgrade for our very popular (AND STILL FREE) newspaper. The digital version is already available at www.seguintoday.com. Please go check it out for yourself, and flip through the pages. If you have questions, I’d love to hear from you. Call me at 830-379-2234. Sincerely,

Darren Dunn General Manager/Partner
