Headlines:  The Civil War End Date in 1865 /  Well Discovered By Old Jail Museum / F.O.R.’s Joanna Merrill Wins HR Award / Volunteers Needed To Deliver Flowers To Moms /

 

It’s Friday May 9th. 

And it was on this date in 1865 that President Andrew Johnson issued a proclamation declaring armed resistance in the South is virtually at an end.  This is the commonly accepted end date of the American Civil War.

 

Hey if you look behind the old Kendall County Jail from Blanco, you’ll see some wonky barricades protecting a small space along a new path of newly buried powerlines from the IT building  to the power center/ generator next to the old county courthouse.  Turns out when they were digging the trench they discovered a well. 
Here’s Special Projects Director for Boerne Mr. Paul Barwick.

Paul Barwick said there’s been some talk to encapsulate it, drop a light down in it, and build it back up, like what you see inside the Free Roam.

 

Congratulations to Joanna Merrill, she is the City of Fair Oaks Ranch’s Director of Human Resources and Communications, for being awarded the Texas Municipal Human Resources Association Lone or Almost aLone Ranger of the Year!  She’s a rock star…she helped launch the Police Cadet program, overhauled outdated policies, revamped the City’s website, and lead a citywide compensation study.  Congratulations Joanna Merrill.
