City of Seguin
Hosting Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Day
Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – The city of Seguin is finally giving citizens the chance to get rid of those items that can’t go into the regular trash can.
Jennifer Sourdellia, the public information officer for the city of Seguin, says the city is offering a one day drop off location for a variety of household hazardous waste items.
She says the Hazardous Waste
Collection Day is set for this Saturday in the Seguin Coliseum parking lot.
She says the collection day will operate similar to the city of Seguin’s Spring and Fall Clean-Up Days. But again, this time, it’s to collect those difficult, hazardous and hard to recycle items found in our homes.

Spring Break 2025 officially kicks off today with the opening of the splash pad at Seguin’s Park West. The splash pad is free and will operate daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The splash pad will remain open through mid-fall.
Shoppers encouraged to drop a few items in the basket for the Christian Cupboard
(Seguin) – The next time you head to the grocery store, you might want to consider donating to the Christian Cupboard.
That’s because Seguin’s local food pantry is in dire need of a few items.
Today’s urgent shopping list includes pinto beans, rice and
spaghetti noodles. Volunteers say they are in desperate need of these items especially as they prepare families for next week’s Spring Break.
The non-profit organization says it’s also in need of plastic shopping bags.
Donations can be dropped off at the Christian Cupboard Mondays
through Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Non-perishable food donations can also be dropped off 24/7 utilizing its donation window located on the north side of the building.
The Christian Cupboard is located at 516 N. Camp St.
Calling all women: Habitat for Humanity to host Women’s Build event this weekend

Executive Director Madeline Zwicke says the organization will host the uplifting event to not only raise awareness but to inspire future generations to achieve the dream of homeownership.
Zwicke says she hopes all women join them this Saturday for the event – an event that falls perfectly with the celebration of International Women’s Day.

Tips for Spring Break Adventures at Texas State Parks
(Austin) -- Spring Breakers who waited until the last minute to plan an outdoor adventure, don’t fret; Texas State Parks still have day-use and overnight availability for anyone still looking for an outdoor adventure.
“Spring is a special time to get outside, with warmer temperatures and blooming wildflowers — parks are perfect places to experience both,” said Tara Humphreys, director of interpretation for Texas State Parks. “We are excited to welcome visitors and showcase our parks and encourage every Texan to ‘take a walk on the wild side’ and visit a Texas State Park.”
Here are some tips from TPWD staff to make your Spring Break visit to a Texas State Park one for the books:
Reserve passes online: Day passes and overnight camping reservations can be booked in advance for any Texas State Park though the TPWD website. Through the online portal, you can narrow your search by city, activity and even by site. If you want to bike, hike or fish, look for parks with day passes available (up to 30 days in advance). For overnight camping, search the “Camping This Weekend” tab to see which parks have sites open for the upcoming Friday and Saturday.
Check the weather: Texas is notorious for wacky weather, so be sure to check the forecast before hitting the road. Spring storms can sweep in unexpectedly. We recommend having a backup plan in case Mother Nature throws a wrench into your outdoor plans.
Wear proper clothing: Flip-flops may be comfortable, but they aren’t the best option for long walks on the trail. Rangers recommend wearing sneakers or boots for hikes. Don’t forget the sunscreen, insect repellant and plenty of water. It’s important to drink at least 16 ounces of water every hour to prevent dehydration. Bring enough for your four-legged family members, too!
Participate in a park program or activity: Park staff will be hosting many guided activities during spring break, including bird walks, kayaking tours, archery 101 classes, arts and crafts, yoga in the park and cooking demos, just to name a few. A complete list of activities can be found on the TPWD calendar page. Looking for a specific activity?
Waste, continued.
Residents can drop items off from 8 a.m. to noon in the Coliseum parking lot.
Sourdellia says there will be employees to help unload the items from vehicles. She says although the service is free, it’s only available to those residents who live within the Seguin city limits.
She says residents will need to bring a picture ID or utility bill with a current address to verify residency.
Hazardous waste items being
Check the “Activities” page for recommendations.
Visitors will also have many other activities to choose from outside of the scheduled programs, including geocaching, the Junior Ranger Program and strolls on the trails. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or want to try fishing for the first time, we encourage you to take advantage of the free fishing at state parks (no license required). And what better time to do that than during spring break when the white-bass run is going strong?
Visit somewhere new: With 88 Texas State Parks located throughout Texas, there are plenty of things to see and do. Take a chance and explore a new park or a part of the state that you have yet to experience. Still looking for overnight reservations? Many unique state parks such as Big Bend Ranch, Davis Mountains, Goose Island, Martin Dies, Jr., Monahans Sandhills, Possum Kingdom and South Llano River have campsites available for the next two weeks.
Download the app: Did you know there is an app to help you enjoy all our state parks have to offer? Download the official Texas State Parks Guide app on the Apple App Store or from Google Play to access park maps, stay up to date on events, read park announcements and more.
To get started in your planning visit the Texas State Parks website.
accepted are herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, pool chlorine, drain cleaner, hydrogen peroxide, gasoline, lighter fluid, paint thinner, stains, muriatic acid, bleach, oven cleaner, paint, automotive fluids and filters, lead-acid batteries, electronics and dozens of other items.
Although there are many items being accepted, Sourdellia says there are some exceptions.
Prohibited items include ammunition, explosives, biohazardous waste, pharmaceuticals, radioactive waste, and tires.
The hazardous drop-off is only for residential use — commercial and business waste will not be accepted.
A link with a complete list of items being accepted can be found on the city of Seguin’s Facebook page. The list is also being made available on the city’s website.
The Hazardous Waste Collection Day, again, will be held from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday.
The Seguin Coliseum parking lot is located at 950 S. Austin St.
Habitat, continued.
"To us, we just can't think of a better way to celebrate being a woman than being out on a build site uplifting a family of seven through homeownership. We are going to be doing exterior painting and putting together some cabinets for their kitchen. No experience is necessary. So, we are going to have our construction leads on site so women of all walks of life, all ages 14 and up are welcome to come out and to just come learn a few things about the job site and celebrate being a woman and being strong and contributing to our community," said Zwicke.
Zwicke says there will be plenty of pink that morning around the build site. She says the color was inspired by this year’s theme “Women Who Hammer Down Barriers.”
"We are going to be supplying t-shirts -- our Women Build pink t-shirt -for the first 50 volunteers that sign-up. We will be decorating hard hats. There is a link to sign-up. You can go through our website, or you can look on our Facebook page. The link is posted and so we are asking that all volunteers sign up in advance so we can prepare," said Zwicke.
Zwicke says this event is all about women uplifting women and helping them reach their goals and potential.
"In our Habitat pipeline, over 80 percent of the families that we serve are single household and families that are raised by single mothers and so I think it's just very very important that we help these single moms through homeownership and that we uplift them, and that homeownership is just the foundation of making everything else possible for them," said Zwicke.
Zwicke says she hopes that women will grab their friends and family and come out to be a part of the event. She says volunteering with Habitat is always a humbling experience.
"I'm from Seguin. I grew up here. I was born and raised and I was raised by a strong woman that taught me the importance of giving back to our local community and you know, that is just something that I always carry with me and we are going to building as I mentioned for a family of seven and this woman has been working so hard to provide a home for her five children, four of which are her daughters and so her daughters will be on site on Saturday and I know that this is an experience that they will take with them the rest of their lives and I think that them seeing their parents become homeowners shows them that there is really nothing that they can't accomplish in life," said Zwicke.
The event gets underway at 7:45 a.m. Saturday at 1600 Sunset Street.

Alaska, England, and several bases throughout the United States. She enjoyed her visits to Hawaii and Germany in the 80’s while visiting her son and family. Germany was her favorite; she was fluent in German and had a wonderful time talking with the locals she had the pleasure of meeting. She thoroughly enjoyed life and was a great cook, but baking was always a “favorite passion” of hers. She had a keen sense of humor and was quick to joke with those around her. She was always surrounded by laughter and is now surrounded with her husband and all of those who preceded her in death.
When she was around 95, she heard on TV that some woman drank a shot of whiskey every day and that is why she had lived so long. So, she decided to try it. Mind you, this coming from a woman who never drank whiskey and never drank much alcohol in her life except an occasional beer or wine. So, her doctor gave the nursing home a prescription to have a daily shot. This became the joke of the nursing home about her and her whiskey. Mind you, it was a good thing, and she did not really like how whiskey tasted, but she always said it was good for her pain. What pain? She only talked about pain when she talked about whiskey!
Visitation will begin on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at St. James Catholic Church in Seguin followed by the Recitation of the Holy Rosary at 10:30 a.m. and the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m. with the Reverend Stanislaw Fuik officiating.

Trump Talks Autism In Address
(Washington, DC) -- President Trump is saying his new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will address the alarming increase in autism rates. The CDC says one out of 36 children are now diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The rate was one in 150 twenty 20 years ago. Trump also talked about ending childhood cancer and about eliminating toxins and chemicals from the environment.
Heart-Attack Rates Climb As The Clocks Spring Forward
(Undated) -- When most Americans move the clocks forward for Daylight Saving Time, hospitals report significant spikes in heart-attack visits on the Monday that follows. That’s this coming Monday, after the clocks spring forward this Sunday. The exact reason isn’t clear, but experts think the lost hour of sleep plays a big role, disrupting the body’s natural rhythm. One way to combat the change is to start going to bed and waking up 15 minutes earlier, two to three days before the change.
Swearing Linked To Increased Pain Tolerance
(Keele, England) -- Swearing is linked to increased pain tolerance and here’s how we know. A 2009 study out of Keele University in England found that people who swear when experiencing pain had not only increased pain tolerance but also a decrease in perceived pain. The researchers carried out other studies over the years showing that using a real swear word showed decreased pain perception but not using a made-up word. The effect seems to also carry over in other languages.
Texas Company Creates Woolly Mice
(Dallas, TX) -- A company that wants to bring back the extinct woolly mammoth and other animals has created woolly mice. The genetically modified mice have big wavy hair that’s much longer than a normal mouse. Scientists with Texas-based Colossal Biosciences targeted specific genes to give the mice a woolly appearance. They looked at the woolly mammoth’s closest living relative, the Asian elephant, for guidance.

Q: How do I know when it is springtime?
A: Every area in Texas has a plant that leafs out early or blooms early. When I lived in Kingsville, we knew it was spring when the mesquite tree put out leaves. Around here the Wildflower Center lists early bloomers as bluebonnets, winecup, anemone, and salvia. Texas Highways adds phlox, pink evening primrose, Mexican plum, mountain laurel and red bud trees. You might be interested to go to wildflower.org and sign up for Texas Wildflower Central. They will send you sightings, updates and other information. For instance, the Wildflower Center has listed Gregg’s Mistflower (Conoclinium greggii) as 2025 Wildflower of the Year. Next time you are downtown, the Seguin Art League has some growing in their planter boxes. Also, the book store has mistflower growing along their side fence.
Doug Welsh’s Texas Garden Almanac adds other spring bloomers you might be interested in trying. He suggests that the best time to buy
these plants is now when they are in bloom so that you can see the color. He lists Carolina jessamine, Texas wisteria, Lady Banks rose, American smoke tree (Cotinus obovatus), Mexican buckeye, Mexican redbud, Eastern redbud and Texas redbud. My largest redbud died this past year and I suspect it was because of the deep shade. Since it was planted years ago, the surrounding trees had matured and completely covered the poor thing.
By the way, I love my Mexican buckeye (Ungnadia speciosa). It has lovely little pink flowers in the spring. The seedpods later on are quite striking. They have three lobes and contain 1 to 3 dark shiny seeds about half inch in diameter. The Wildflower Center quotes information from the US Forest Service Database that although the seeds taste like pistachio nuts, they are very poisonous. Rats who ate the seeds exhibited signs of neurological and organ damage and died within three weeks. In humans, seeds can cause dizziness, nausea, and abdominal discomfort. (The seeds are very
pretty, though, and have been used in the past as marbles. I suspect they have probably been used as jewelry also.)
Q: Is it time to fertilize my lawn?
A: As I mention every year, apply lawn fertilizer after you have mowed the grass twice. Welsh says that this confirms that the lawn is actually growing and is ready to use the fertilizer. In the fall, apply lawn fertilizer after the grass has stopped growing.
Q: I have planned my spring garden and am ready to plant. Have you started any plants yet?
A: Yes. I checked out what our local Master Gardeners were growing for their plant sale and bought an absolutely gorgeous tomato in a fourinch pot. It was a previous year’s Rodeo cherry tomato “Ruby Crush.” Of course, I also bought a pot of basil since you must have basil with tomatoes.
