After 22 years of service, a longtime employee of Caldwell County was victim to a “Reduction in Force,” this morning, despite what she called promises that she would be moved to another position within the government.
The Commissioners Court voted 4-1 this afternoon to enact a “reduction in force,” terminating the employee, who has worked for Caldwell County for 22 years. Her termination date was chosen as June 30, 2013.
Having heard information about the plans to terminate her position, which was rendered obsolete when the Commissioners entered an 1115 Waiver agreement with Seton last year to manage Indigent Health Services, Rhoda Chavira accused the Court and County Administration of not communicating with their employees, and said she had no idea that the termination of her position was coming.
“What happens to me now?” she asked in a tearful statement to the Court before their final vote. “I was promised that I would have a job… why should I have to retire in another county? Why can’t I retire here?”
Find out the reasons for the reduction in force, and other details about today’s meeting in this weeks’ Lockhart Post-Register, on newsstands on Wednesday.

The group stopped for a few minutes at Kreuz’s Market, where community members and students, including the LHS Air Force JROTC, Cheerleaders, Roaring Lion Band and Lionettes had gathered with flags, posters and other gifts and goodies to show their support for the men and women that serve this nation in uniform.

In connection with the annual Warriors’ Weekend, several busloads of recovering wounded soldiers will be visiting Lockhart on Friday morning.
On their way to an all-expense-paid fishing trip in Port O’Connor, what is estimated as three busloads of wounded American veterans will be passing through Lockhart between 10:30 and 11:15 a.m. on Friday. They will be traveling SH130/Highway 183 from Killeen, before passing through to Luling on their way to Port O’Connor. Their itinerary includes a brief stop at Kreuz’s Market, expected between 10:45 and 11 a.m.

Officers from the Lockhart Police Department and Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office will be participating in an escort for the soldiers, and the community is invited stand by the side of the highway with flags, signs of support and other mementos to show support and appreciation for the men and women who have put themselves in harm’s way to defend American ideals across the world.

Though the current itinerary shows arrival in Lockhart at around 10:50 a.m., past trips have run early, and event organizers have asked that the community gather, whether by the roadsides or in the parking lot at Kreuz’s Market, by 10:30 a.m. to ensure they are on hand for the welcome.

The Warriors’ Weekend fishing trip is sponsored by Warrior’s Weekend (www.warriorsweekend.org) and is designed to build morale and support for servicemembers injured in the line of duty.

Mr. Hernandez is survived by his mother, Juanita Hernandez, of Luling; a daughter, Angela Hernandez, and a son, Julian Hernandez, Jr., both of Luling; a sister, Olivia Espinosa, of Lockhart, five grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Recitation of the Holy Rosary was planned on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 in the chapel of the DeLeon Funeral Home. Funeral Mass was scheduled at 10 a.m. on Thursday May 16, 2013, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

In a continued effort to address pay scale for County employees, the Caldwell County Commissioners reviewed plans on Monday morning to add nearly $500,000 to the Caldwell County, in the second tier of a five-year salary scale implementation.

The raises amount to 20 percent of the difference between the employees’ pay during the 2012 fiscal year, and the salaries proposed in a salary survey completed by the Human Resources Department last year. Under the proposal, all county employees, except those still in a “probationary period” are expected to receive pay increases during the next fiscal year.

In addition, the Commissioners considered setting the salaries for all county elected officials, most of whom are set to receive pay increases of around $2,100. Those salaries, also, are being adjusted in accordance with last year’s salary survey.

For details about the proposed pay increases, pick up this week’s Post-Register, on newsstands Wednesday evening.

Born in Hughes Springs, Texas on April 29, 1922, she and her twin brother, Roy, were the youngest of 15 children raised on a farm by their parents, Lena and Charles Hull. Though growing up on the farm was hard, Joy was always surrounded by the love of her parents and older siblings.

Married for 59 years to the love of her life, Alfred Maurice Wigginton, Joy had one son, Fred David Wigginton.

During World War II, Joy worked for Sheffield Steel in Houston making parts for ships, and later worked for many years as the office manager for a Houston orthodontist.

A 1991 breast cancer survivor, Joy is preceded in death by her husband, A.M. Wigginton and grandson, Fred David Wigginton, II, as well as all of her siblings: brothers, Archie, Willie, Otha, Bun, Sam, Clyde, A.B., Buddy and Roy; and sisters, Clara, Nola, Gladine, Lottie Faye and Lena Mae.

Joy is survived by her son, Fred, and his wife, Karen, of Canyon Lake, Texas; grandchildren, Emily Wigginton, of San Marcos, and Jason Wigginton, of College Station; and a host of nieces and nephews.

She was a Joy to all her family and friends with her beautiful smile, her unending love, and her profound devotion to her Lord through her commitment to the Baptist church.

We will miss you, MaMa, but will always be surrounded by your love. We want to thank Hope Hospice of New Braunfels for their many months of caring and support.

Graveside Services will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 16, 2013, at the Martindale Cemetery, with the Rev. Jerry Bullock officiating.
