And it was on this date in 1951 that I Love Lucy premiered on CBS. The episode "Lucy Goes to the Hospital", which first aired on Monday, January 19, 1953, garnered a then-record rating of 71.7, meaning that 71.7% of all households with television sets were tuned to the program.  That record was only surpassed by The Ed Sullivan Show with Elvis’ first appearance.
I’m Baron WileyKendall County has earned a 2026 County Best Practices Award from the Texas Association of Counties for its partnership with the Bergheim Volunteer Fire Department.  The recognition highlights a part-time staffing program that supplements volunteers and helps move the department toward consistent, around-the-clock station coverage.  Bergheim VFD manages hiring, scheduling, payroll and training. Its long-term goal is a minimum four-person crew on duty 24 hours a day, which department leaders say will require continued planning and sustainable funding.  According to the department, it’s Kendall County’s first TAC award in at least a decade.The Boerne Star reported yesterday that Kendall County Commissioner Andra Wisian was recently honored for her completion of a voluntary advanced course of study on county government titled Commissioners Court Advanced Curriculum. Wisian received a certificate of achievement after completing 64 hours of course study, now representing a statewide organization with more than 1,200 active members.
