It’s Thursday February 19th. 

 

Happy Boerne Radio Birthday to the legendary William Smokey Robinson Jr. who turns 86 today…and the singer Seal is 63.   American Astronaut Joseph Kerwin turns 94 - he went on a Skylab mission, and the first doctor in the US to enter space, and earned his flight surgeon’s wings in Beeville, and today lives in College Station.

And happy birthday to Boerne’s own Ryan Johnson, Chanelle Thompson a big supporter of Love Kendall County Kids…and Musician Mitch Stephen who wrote the song Sitting in Sisterdale!

 

Nearly 65 residents packed Bakery Lorraine yesterday for a City of Boerne meeting on traffic concerns along Oak Park Drive. Engineering and Mobility Director Jeff Carroll called it one of the largest community turnouts in recent memory. Boerne Police Chief Steve Perez and City officials discussed safety improvements, including possible mini roundabouts and lighted stop signs. Crews have already installed new red flashing stop signs at Frey and Oak Park. The City will continue reviewing feedback and plans a follow-up with residents in the coming months.

 

So after the All-Clear signal from Boerne ISD of a bomb threat yesterday, the fog lifted with dozens of schools across Texas with the same drama including Comfort High School.  They weren’t cleared until 2:12 in the afternoon.  Steele High School cancelled their classes.  Other districts include Uvalde, Schertz Cibolo, and Universal City.  And that’s just around here…the mass hoax went all up I-35 into Austin up to Dallas.  Making a false bomb threat is a serious federal and state crime.  Fines can be up to $10,000 and up to 5 or 10 years in prison for Federal offenses, as the investigation continues.

 

Last Friday Rusty Bubsy of the Hill Country Archaeological Association discovered a Flint Multitool at Sisterdale Sanctuary managed by the Cibolo Center for Conservation. Estimated to be thousands of years old, the tool features a scraping edge that could have been used on everything from root vegetables to animal hides.   A partial skull, possibly a feline, was also found in the floodplain near the base of the Escarpment at Sisterdale.
