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

to college and playing football and then being in a real unique area where he was teaching grad school courses at Penn State while he was playing football there and then also when he was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens, he continued to pursue that but then he decided to actually leave the NFL to earn his Ph.D in Mathematics at MIT and he is still there right now," said Ford.
