Headlines:  Burn Ban is Back For 2 Weeks / Goodwill Rejected By P&Z Commission / StayCation Contest Is Back at BoerneRadio.com /

It’s Wednesday July 9th. 

After the declaration of Independence was drafted by Thomas Jefferson, edited by John Adams’ Committee of Five, signed by representatives from 13 states, copies were made and it was on this date in 1776 - The Declaration of Independence is read to George Washington’s troops in New York.

While we’ve experienced so much rain, the Burn Ban is back on for the next two weeks.  The idea was County Judge Shane Stolarczyk’s as although many people want to get rid of the growing debris from the Guadalupe, teams need to search them as thoroughly as possible. Stolarczyk also said search teams, first responders, fire departments are at the county border now and will continue to be in and out within the next 10 days.  Let’s not give our first responders any more to deal with your own burn for just a couple of weeks.

The Planning and Zoning Commission has rejected Goodwill’s bid to move into the 16,000 square foot vacant property in the Live Oak Shopping Center on North Main. The commissioners heard advocacy for the nonprofit giant from the property owner and the project applicant but were ultimately swayed by the local thrift store owners and employees. They ultimately voted 6 to 1.  Now the item will go before the City Council for the final say.
