It’s Wednesday January 21st. 

And it was on this date in 1957 that someone got a big break when she won a talent contest on TV’s Aurthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts…the song she sang was Walkin’ after Midnight and the winner was Patsy Cline.   

And in Boerne it’s Fernanda Balli’s birthday - she may have taught you Spanish at Boerne Middle School!  Happy Birthday Fernanda!  And if you have a birthday coming up let us know when you take our music survey at boerneradio.com.

The big news this week in Boerne and Texas and the country is the winter storm heading our way. The City of Boerne is getting prepared. The Streets department has prepped Salt Trucks to deploy this weekend, specifically focusing on ice-covered bridges and roadways. Water, gas and electric lines have also been “winterized”-crews inspected these lines with infrared technology to identify areas susceptible to icy conditions. Tree branches above lines have also been trimmed, bathroom facilities have been secured and water mains turned off. 

 If you find yourself without power, the Patrick Heath Public Library will serve as a warming station this Saturday and Sunday.  The Cibolo Farmer’s Market has also been preemptively canceled in response to the inclement weather. 

The Kendall County Commissioners Court voted this week to accept a $1 million grant from the Texas Water Development Board for flood warning systems. In September, the Texas Legislature approved more than $50 million in funding for flood warning systems and flood mitigation projects for counties affected by floods in July. Although no Kendall County residents died in the floods, nine of the missing bodies were discovered here, so the state wanted to ensure that each county was accounted and taken care of.
