It’s Friday July 10th. 

And with our chance for rain today, we’ll only get up into the upper 80’s here in mid-July today was the date that officially recorded the highest temperature in American history…it was in Death Valley California and the high there was 134 degrees….and take a guess on the year…was it 2019, 2013, or 1996.  Lock in your answer…and answer is - you all lose…the correct answer is July 10th, 1913.

And on that happy note, happy birthday right here in the Hill Country to Faith Palmer, Chris Bellow over at Brevity Coffee, Linda Bannister, Michelle Ryan, Pam Wise of Wise Investment Services,  and Shawna Verrett at City Wide Home Mortgage.  

You all share a birthday with Soul Singer Mavis Staples who is 87, Arlo Guthrie is 79, and Jessica Simpson who was born in Abilene Texas turns 46 today.

Also happy birthday to our original news girl Tanya McMeans.  “It’s another Hot Day in Boerne” – How Hot? – It’s so hot when you buy a Tootie Pie, by the time you get home it’s perfectly baked.”

Heads up…if you’re in the Bentwood, Cibolo Crossing, or Moss Rose area, crews from Boerne Utilities will begin trimming trees starting on Monday. 

Brentwood is the area around Boerne High School, Cibolo Crossing is south of Johns Road, and Moss Rose is around 474 and South Esser.

Crews will work each day over a four-week stretch, weather permitting, to ensure tree limbs stay a safe distance from power lines.  McCoy Tree Surgery, the contractors responsible for the work, will notify you if and when crews will need to enter to access trees along the electric lines and will notify you about a week in advance by placing a tag on your front door.

This spring, the community gave feedback on the historic Boerne High School wall on Blanco and Esser Road, which has been deteriorating for a few years. Based on that feedback, and taking into account structural needs, long-term planning and budget, the District is proceeding with the stabilization and repair of the wall. Once the repairs are complete, Boerne Highschool students, whether current or alums, will come together to repaint the historic signs. 

Lots to do in Boerne this weekend as Market Days is back in Main Plaza, DeVino Cellars has a ribbon cutting at their new location today at 4, Texas Treasures Fine Art Gallery is hosting their first Sound Sessions experience. Daniel Robinson starts at 2, and then at 5 it’s Three of A Kind featuring Konrad Wert, Clifton Fifer and Ashley Valero. The New York Times called Konrad Wert a “one man folk wonder”.  He’s good with a banjo, guitar, fiddle, and stomp box.  Texas Treasures Fine Art Gallery is on Main Street and Rosewood.

The Bergheim Fire department was dispatched early yesterday morning when smoke was spotted on the 200 block of FM 3351. By 6 a.m., fire crews were on the scene with the Kendall County Office of Emergency Management and TCEQ. There was no threat to the public, and crews cleared the area a little after 9.
