It’s Thursday October 15th
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. 
This week is Free College Application week, meaning any Texas Resident can apply to undergraduate programs at any public college in the state at no cost.  Through the 18th, admission fees are waived for applications submitted through Apply Texas- last year, more than 260,000 applications were submitted.  Prospective students can utilize My Texas Future and the Direct Admissions program to streamline their college search, evaluate workforce needs and identify educational programs that fit their career goals.
