It’s Monday January 26th. 

And it was on this date in 1932, when America was deep in Prohibition, that after Prime Minister Winston Churchill crossed a New York City street and was hit by a car, Dr. Pickhardt prescribed him alcohol for the pain with a minimum requirement of about 8 ounces especially at meal times, and that the quantity is naturally indefinite.  Churchill was also known for his cigars as well…and lived to be 90.  Never give up…never give in.

On Saturday was the Greater Boerne Chamber of Commerce Awards Dinner at the Cana Ballroom with an earlier start time to beat the freeze.  Your new business of the year was our friends at The Boerne Life, Your non-profit of the year is the Boerne Blaze, Jeremy Affeldt at Free Roam is the Business Man of the Year, Patty Mainz is the Business Woman of the Year with the opening of Mainz Meat Market and the Black Rifle, Singing Water Vineyards is your business of the year with under 50 employees, and Powered by Synergy with over 50 employees.  

And as today is sunny and bright, many businesses have decided to close their doors today as ice is still on the roads with overnight freezing.  Waste Management has determined that they will not be collecting trash and recycling today, but will resume with normal operations tomorrow. Boerne ISD, as well as Comfort and Bandera ISD’s have decided to use a snow day. Kendall County Offices will also be closed, including Boerne City offices.   The Library is officially closed today but the warming station inside is still open through 7pm with hot coffee, cocoa, and soup…plus coats, hats, and gloves.  Good ol’ H-E-B adjusted their hours today - 10am to 11pm. 

The Boerne ISD report shows zero violent crimes committed on campuses as announced at the last Board meeting. On top of this, the district displayed no criminal activity of any kind and received an A in their 2024-2025 school year Texas Academic Performance Report. 

Kendall County’s bid to become a dark sky community received a boost last week- the Hill Country Alliance just rewarded the effort with funding from its Night Time Preservation fund. The HCA named 14 recipients for its second year of funding-Kendall County will use the money to establish sky quality monitoring and enhance outdoor lighting, as well as educate the community on the benefits of night sky preservation.
