It’s Tuesday March 31st. 

And born on this date in 1955 is ACDC co-founder guitarist Angus Young making him 71 years young.   I thought he was older.  And on lead mom of the Partridge Family Shriley Jones is 92 - and to another Jones in Boerne, happy birthday Dyna Jones.

I’m Baron Wiley.

And while we celebrate local birthdays, another national day started right here in Boerne…this Saturday is National Handmade Day created, and celebrated everyday by Handmade on Main owner Amy Bierstedt.   She suggested the idea to the From Scratch Farm website back in 2017, it became official in 2018 and national companies like Jo-Ann Fabrics have embraced it every first Saturday in April since.   So we at Boerne Radio say make this Saturday the best day ever for Handmade on Main…and way to go Amy! 

Some upsetting news coming out of Comal County-yesterday morning there was an active shooter situation at the Hill Country College Preparatory High School in Bulverde. By 10:08 the threat had been neutralized, and most students were reunited with their parents after being transported to Bulverde Middle School. The shooter was a 15 year old male who fired at a female teacher-she remains hospitalized in San Antonio with no current update on her condition, and the student died at the scene. The school is closed today, and the investigation is ongoing. 

The City of Boerne is seeking your input on a draft of its Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. The plan provides a data-driven outline to reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries while improving safety for all users. Currently 73% of the crashes that occur in Boerne occur on 15% of the roadways, including South Main, West Bandera and around Main Plaza.   The link to that plan is in the news blog at BoerneRadio.com.

Hill Country Family Services has a new wishlist for the month of April,  highlighting the current greatest needs for the corner cupboard. This month they are asking for donations of canned salmon, dog food, kleenex boxes, rice, ranch style beans and small cans of coffee. But cash is where your dollar goes the furthest thanks to the food bank - $25 feeds a family of 4 for a week!  See what I mean at hcfstx.org.
