It’s Wednesday April 1st. 

And it’s National Volunteer Month encouraging you to thank a volunteer or be a volunteer as part of President George H. W. Bush’s 1000 Points of Light campaign in 1991.

It’s also National Autism Awareness Month, National Parkinson’s Disease Month, and April Fool’s Day.  

I’m Baron Wiley. 

It’s also National Child Abuse Awareness Month, and the City is getting together for a special Breakfast on April 15th at St. Helena’s Episcopal Church.  They are calling it the North Region’s Blue Breakfast as Boerne Police Chief Perez, Sheriff Al Auxier, and Judge Katherine McDaniel are some of the leaders speaking and you are invited to this free Blue Breakfast.  You must RSVP by today when you email Hollye Pickett at Hpickett@sjrctexas.org.   And if you need that address again, it’s in the news blog at boerneradio.com.

The Texas Division of Emergency Management will conduct a statewide test of public warning systems tomorrow sometime between 10 am and 12:30 pm. This drill is designed to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of emergency alerting systems used to notify the public during disasters and emergencies. This is only a test, so you will not need to do anything in response. 

And an update on the shooting in Comal County on Monday. The teacher that was injured in the shooting has not been identified, but the Comal Sheriff has confirmed that she is stable. It has been confirmed the still unnamed shooter brought a .357 revolver from home, and had been failing multiple classes before the event.  It has also been confirmed that there was no School Resource Officer on Campus at the time of the shooting, with no information on why this was the case. 

Phase 1 of the Adler Road Improvement project is well underway, leading to significant changes for drivers and pedestrians. Construction crews will be shifting traffic to completely new sections of roadway and sidewalk at Currey Creek beginning today, allowing crews to begin working on the north side of the road. Before this change occurred, crews encountered an unforeseen obstacle- an old water well. The City worked with the Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District to ensure all regulatory requirements were met before capping the well. Construction around Currey Creek is expected to wrap up by early summer.

And by The River Road Drive-Thru Siesta. — the only place in Boerne where you don’t have to get out of your truck to relax. Just roll up to River Road and Herff, we’ll string a hammock between two cedar posts, and you can take a quick nap before the light turns green.

Ask about the ‘Siesta-to-Go’ combo — includes that hammock, a sweet tea from the gas station, and a basket of tots from the Longhorn.

The River Road Drive-Thru Siesta — traffic is temporary, naps are for now.

Have a happy April Fools Day.
