It’s Monday January 12th. 

And a couple of Radio icons share a birthday on this date…Rush Hudson Limbaugh born in 1951, and Howard Stern turns 72 today.  And some icons in Boerne celebrating today include Marianne Young, Sue Balcar, and Kay Caldwell!  Happy Birthday!

Champion Highschool underwent a scenario-based demonstration on Friday that showed attendees how drones can be utilized during critical events like mass shootings. Campus Guardian Angel, the company that develops the drones and pilots them in emergencies, would equip Champion with an estimated 60 drones if approved by Boerne ISD. These aren’t the average toys you can buy at Walmart-these machines are equipped with pepper-ball pellets, can break through glass and can fly at 40 miles per hour. The program also comes with an app for teachers to go live on video or text with a member of the offsite Campus Guardian Angel team. The demonstration was successful, but there is no official timeline for implementing the system in Champion or any other Boerne ISD school.

The Kendall County Republican Party has appointed a new chair after the leadership role was vacated by Jennifer Barreras-Rawls. Taking over the helm is Traften Werenskjold, a native Texan, veteran Army Aviator, and small business owner -one devoted to aviation called Down To Fly and Bandit Bin Cleaners. 

It’s Christmas Tree and Bulky disposal week, here are some reminders so your trees don’t get left behind. Trees must be out on the curb by 7 am on your normal collection day, and trees over 8 feet tall must be cut in two. Tree trunks must be less than 6 inches in diameter, must have all of the decorations removed and cannot be flocked. In the event there is an overwhelming number of trees needing collected, crews will continue to collect until everyone is served.
