75 pets die in Saturday night fire at Ponderosa Pet Resort
By KATHERINE ANTHONY
Don Richards and Pam McMillan were married on Friday, and so festivities with family and friends could continue uninterrupted through the weekend, they boarded their beloved Shelties — Bunny and Clyde — at Ponderosa Pet Resort.
The joyous celebration, however, turned into tragedy and heartbreak on Saturday night.
Bunny and Clyde, both just four months old, were among the 75 beloved pets that died in a fire at Ponderosa, 2815 North Austin Avenue.
Every animal at Ponderosa died in Saturday’s fire, Georgetown Fire Chief John Sullivan said at the scene on Sunday morning. There were 75 dogs in the facility.
“We were unable to save even one life in this building,” he said. “The conditions and the smoke allowed the situation to be not tenable — and that’s difficult for us to wrap our brains around.
“Our hearts go out to these pets’ families. This is a big deal when you lose an extension of your family.”

Parents ask GISD to take stronger stance on masking
District Covid-19 policies support personal freedoms
New cases in GISD by week
*data through Wednesday, September 25.
By NICHOLAS CICALE
On the eve of the new school year, Georgetown ISD residents Amy and Marv Varhley decided to withdraw their two students from the school district due to relaxed Covid protocols.
GISD officials released their new Covid-19 guidelines for the school year two days before the first day of class. Unlike last year, when masks were required and teachers enforced social distancing in the classroom and during other school activities, the district made masking optional in its policies.
Ms. Varhley said she didn't believe the updated guidelines would be able to keep students safe, especially compared to the stricter policies from last year and those of other nearby school districts.
