This note was posted online by Schulenburg Superintendent Julie Motomura: “Early (Friday) morning as school was beginning, a hitlist was found by two staff members at the junior high in one of the classrooms. Law enforcement was immediately contacted by administration, and the responsible party was identified. At this time, that person is in the custody of law enforcement. Our staff acted swiftly and handled this matter appropriately. We would like to thank the Schulenburg Police Department for responding immediately and assisting us in ensuring our campuses are secure. Please know we will continue to be diligent in all our practices to keep our students safe while they’re at school.

My daughter and son-inlaw, Jodi and Scott Miller, invited me to travel with them to Minnesota as a birthday gift and to look at the turning of the leaves. We flew out of Austin on Sept. 28 arriving in Minneapolis/ St. Paul in the late afternoon and after renting a car we drove to the town of Albert Lea in the middle of the southern part of the state. It was beautiful with flowers everywhere and we spent several days visiting. We also spent some time at other towns along Interstate 90.
