It’s Monday May 4th. 

And a lot of War related events happened on this date.

In 1776 Rhode Island declared its independence from Great Britain in the context of the American Revolution.

In 1865 the last major Confederate Army surrendered in Alabama

But the biggest war time event happened a much longer time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…

”May the 4th” be with you…It’s Star Wars Day. 

We also celebrate some Boerne birthdays!

Happy Birthday to our singer songwriter Noah Kurtis Nilsson , Larry Bernhard, Kathleen Alamillo, Hair and Scalp Care Expert Tammy Jordan, Barron Blevins, and Ron Zunker with the Pax Financial Group!  Happy Birthday to you guys on this May the 4th!  

I’m Baron Wiley. 

Saturday was election day and the results are in…in Fair Oaks Ranch two council seats were on the ballot.  Keith Rhoden ran unopposed for Place 2, while incumbent Johnathan Swarek earned 57% of the vote over Matt Reigelsperger for Place 6.  Here in Boerne in the school board races, Incumbent Kristi Schmidt ran unopposed for Place 6 and still received 3,055 votes, and Rich Sena was reelected to Place 7 with 62% of the vote - 2,415 votes for the incumbent over Michael Ethridge’s 1,452 votes. 

Boerne Radio caught Rich Sena after the election.

These results remain unofficial until the election is finalized by the county and canvassed by the school district next Monday. 

And some more results to report, according to the Raindrop app last week Boerne saw a little over 8/10s of an inch of rain in the last week of April and over an inch on May 1st  - for the year Boerne has seen 9.37” which is near the average.
