It’s Thursday January 8th. 

And some big Boerne Radio artists were born on this date starting with the King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley born in 1935, David Bowie was born in 1947, and Robby Krieger  - surviving member of the Doors turns 80 today.  And some more Boerne Rock Stars celebrating a birthday - Ellie Maxwell who’s with a great non-profit called 1 Hope for Kids, MS Warrior Lauren Blacklock, and Hunter Beaton - the founder of another powerful non-profit called Day 1 Bags.  Happy Birthday indeed.

Tomorrow morning you will notice that the area around Champion High School has a few more law enforcement officers and first responders than their typical SROs. This increased activity is part of a planned scenario-based training exercise.  The program is called Campus Guardian Angel which is a drone-based school safety system partnering the police with a school campus to confront and degrade active shooter threats.   City Park and surrounding roadways will be closed prior to and during the training.

The Boerne Star spoke with Fire Marshall Brady Constantine to get the breakdown on any emergencies on New Year’s Eve. There were no major incidents that night, and only 6 total fires that were quickly put out. All departments were fully staffed and worked well into the night, but didn’t see much action. 

And some more winners from the Kendall County Jr. Livestock Show. Trent Berny took the crown for Champion Market Steer exihibitor. Yesterday sheep and goats were presented, and Penny Weldon was named Champion Wether Doe Exhibitor, Rosalinn Kneupper won it for the Angora Goat category, Riley Kidder is your Champion Commercial Ewe Lamb exhibitor, and Will Thomason is the Reserves Commercial Ewe exhibitor.
