Headlines:  Camels Arrived In Texas in 1856 / Last Day of Early Voting / Water Quality Report Available July 1st / f

 

It’s Tuesday April 29th

 

And it was on this day in 1856 that a shipload of camels arrived at a Texas port.  They were driven by land to Camp Verde in Kerr County and arrived there on August 27th.  Secretary of War Jefferson Davis had urged Congress to bring the animals from North Africa to help the army in its Indian operations. Ultimately the experiment failed. Handlers found the animals smelly, and hard to control plus they spooked the horses. 


Today is the last day for early voting in Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch. You have until 7 pm today at the Kendall County Courthouse Annex on Fawn Valley here in Boerne, and the Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department at 7286 Dietz Elkhorn. 

 

And looking way ahead, starting July 1st, Boerne Residents will be able to view the City’s Annual Drinking Water Quality report online. This report contains important information about the source and quality of your drinking water. If you do want a paper report delivered to your home instead of the online report, you can call (830) 248-1538.

 

And leading the class of the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame for 2025 is Cyndi Lauper along with other inductees, Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Outkast, Soundgarden, The White Stripes, Salt-n-Pepa and Warren Zevon… not making the list again is Iron Maiden.

 

Boerne ISD is proud to share that five of their elementary schools have been named Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase Schools. Curington, Herff, Kendall, Fabra and Fair Oaks Ranch have been named for the 2024-2025 school year. This honor is awarded to campuses that demonstrate excellence in building a culture where students feel safe, connected, and engaged.   And what school failed to make the list?  Iron Maiden Elementary.

ADA Compliance Survey

 

Headlines:  Wings Wins Oscar in 1929 Shot In San Antonio / ADA Survey In Boerne / Boerne Earns Tree City USA For 15th Year In A Row / Weather: 60s – 90’s for next 2 weeks / Bring Your Rare Coin Collection To Great Southern Coins in Boerne

 

It’s Friday May 16th. 

 

And on this date in 1929, the first Academy Awards are hosted in Hollywood and the Oscar for Best Film goes to Wings - which starred Clara Bow and a young Gary Cooper.  It was a World War 1 story that remains the only silent film to win best picture.  The other interesting thing is that the film was shot on location at Kelly Field in San Antonio, Texas.

 

The City of Boerne is currently conducting a public access survey. This year marks the fourth in the ADA Transition Plan, and wants to know if you’ve seen an improvement so far and what still needs to be done. The survey is designed to help Officials locate areas of most significant concern to the public and help provide better access throughout our community. You have until June 15th to complete it, and can find a link in our news blog at boerneradio.com. 

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Boerne-ADA-Transition-Plan 

 

Since 2010, the City of Boerne has planted almost 2,000 trees and even gave trees away back in November…and that’s why last week the City of Boerne was once again recognized as a Tree City USA Community, marking its 15th consecutive year. The Arbor Day Foundation honored the Boerne Parks and Rec department for their commitment to effective urban forest management.  To qualify for Tree City USA status a city must maintaining a tree board, check - have a tree care ordinance, check - spend at least $2 per capita on urban forestry - check - and host an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. Check-check.  For the record there are over 35,000 cities and towns in our country…3,600 have earned this status putting Boerne in the 10% bracket in the county…just saying.

 

Weather wise - Looks like upper sixties in the morning and lower 90’s in the midday is the forecast for the next couple of weeks. No real rain forecasted for the next several days.  Remember to not only keep yourself cool but your pets as well.  Stay hydrated, uses sun protection…and it says hear to keep listening to Boerne Radio,

 

Boerne Radio News is delivered to you by the Boerne Star…and our new sponsor on Boerne Radio - it’s Great Southern Coins - they’ve been here over 10 years there on North Main just past School Street on the left …if you inherited a coin collection from a parent or grandparent -and you’d just like to know what is that Silver Dollar is worth or that Liberty Gold Coin sitting in that drawer…wouldn’t it be nice to find out it worth $1000 bucks…well - call Great Southern Coins - make an appointment and find out - the appointment is free…and please tell them you head about them on Boerne Radio - the number is 888-409-83-44 for Great Southern Coins.com

Headlines: Champions wins quick game 1 over Sharyland / Rangers beat Astros in First Meeting / Proposal submitted to rename SAT airport ‘Gregg Popovich International Airport’

Friday 5/16

This is Boerne Radio Sports, I am Esteban Serrano… good day sports fans. 

As heard here on Boerne Radio, the 5A regional semifinals between Champion and Sharyland got underway from Corpus with Game 1 last night… With a runner on in the bottom of the first, an error on the Champion defense at the plate got Sharyland their first run. The game started at 6:55 and we were in the 5th inning by the 8 o’clock hour… a hidden ball trick attempted by Sharyland almost worked, getting the Champion player Patrick Hall at 3rd… I’ll let Bobby Stautzenberger explain it:

Audio: Hidden Ball Trick

Yep, a big no-no, you can’t do that… And then the bad luck seemed to continue for Sharyland. Tied at 1 now at this point and a dropped routine flyball was the result of Champion’s lead-taking run the next inning and the batter is Sawyer Smith…

Audio: Passed Ball, Champion Scores

And this is how it ended…

Audio: Grizzafi final out

Sawyer Smith the pitcher had 5-consecutive shutout innings… a huge factor… and the Chargers take game 1, by a score of 2-1. Game two is today at 5 and coverage starts at 4:45… can the Chargers close it out and head to the regional finals next week? Find out today here on Boerne Radio. 

The Rangers and the Astros meet for the first time this season in Arlington to commence the Silver Boot Series. Rangers take game one of this weekend series with a final score of 1-0. With this win, Texas’ Bruce Bochy passes Sparky Anderson for 6th-most wins all-time as an MLB manager. The series will continue tonight through Sunday.

How does ‘Gregg Popovich International Airport’ sound? San Antonio Councilman Manny Pelaez submitted a formal request to City Council this week to officially rename the San Antonio International Airport to honor Gregg Popovich, and it is claimed to be a reminder of the legacy he has left in the city as the longtime Spurs coach.

Explosion at Camp Stanley Kills One.

 

 

 

Headlines:  BBB Today at 28 Songs at 4pm / It’s National Peace Officers Memorial Day / Explosion At Camp Stanley Kills One / School Board Says 3rd High School 10 Years Off / Construction Continues On Fair Oaks Parkway / Welcome Great Southern Coins to Boerne Radio.

 

 

 

And by 28 Songs Brewhouse and Kitchen - that’s where we’ll be from 4 to 6 today for our Boost Boerne Business Networking event - with thanks to Olde Town Plumbing, Realtor Nova Stevenson and Clearview Bookkeeping  - and special thanks to Performance Food Service who’s bringing the chicken wings.

 

It’s Thursday May 15th. 

And back in 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and it’s still National Police Week. If we don’t say it every day, thank you to our Boerne Police Department, and our Kendall County Sheriff's Office.  We also remember our heroes in Law enforcement who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty - Sheriff Edge in 1948,  Sheriff Kuebel in 1971, Trooper Kurt David Knapp in 2004,  Community Supervision Officer Russell Dean Salazar in 2019, and Deputy Carlos Ramirez in 2019.

 

Yesterday morning at approximately 10am there was a fuel tank explosion at Camp Stanley, off of Ralph Fair Road. A US Army Joint Munitions Command spokesperson confirmed the free-standing fuel tank exploded and injured Andrew Libby who was immediately taken to the hospital where he later died. The incident is currently under investigation. The spokesperson said “We deeply regret the loss of life that occurred today” and that safety remains a top priority for its employees and the community.  Steps will be taken to help prevent future incidents.

 

In the Midweek edition of the Boerne Star, Jeff Flinn reported on the Boerne ISD Board of Trustee’s meeting where it was decided a third high school would not be necessary for at least another 10 years, and there was talk of renovating Boerne Middle School North. Facilities planning committees hinted at reusing a building for a Career and Technical Education Center. 

 

And for our Fair Oaks listeners, the City didn’t quite complete micro seal treatment on Fair Oaks Parkway, so don’t be surprised by traffic and continued delays. They will most likely finish the project today, but be careful if you go through the area.
