It’s Wednesday May 20th. 

And born on this date in 1908 - the star of It’s A Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, and Harvey - American Oscar Winner Jimmy Stewart.   And here in our Boerne Radio Birthday Club Happy Birthday to Cassie Luycx, Michele Lacey, Kriss Abigail who’s handy with a knife as a Wild Game Butcher, and my friend Dee Dee Lake - a wonderful author and consultant for Authors.

I’m Baron Wiley. 

How about that gulley washer last night - downtown Boerne got an inch and half and Fair Oaks Ranch got 2 inches with more on the way.  Boerne ISD is keeping an on that for our Graduation Ceremonies.

36 students made Boerne ISD history on Tuesday as they graduated with both their Highschool diplomas and associates degrees. 2026 is the first year that a cohort of PTech students is graduating, meaning students enter the workforce or college with at least a certification in health sciences. 

And some graduates are getting recognition and funding this week thanks to the Boerne Chamber of Commerce. Over the past three weeks, they have awarded $14,500 to nine outstanding students from Boerne and Comfort Independent School Districts. We don’t have the time to say first and last names, so you know who you are: congratulations to Kaitlyn, Julia, Isabella, Tatum, Kaydence, Simon, Robert, Cade and Victoria. 

After more than a decade on television, and 18 years as an online show, “Goodtaste with Tanji” is coming to an end.  Boerne resident and Host Tanji Patton announced this will be the show’s final TV season after 11 years on air across Texas and beyond. Patton says she’s actually shifting focus to a higher calling going all in with “Goodtaste for the Soul” with more inspirational stories and using her voice for Him.  She also said she’ll continue the food and wine content online. She thanked viewers, supporters and sponsors including our Wild Birds Unlimited here in Boerne,  as she begins what she calls an exciting new chapter. 

Two lawsuits filed by individuals who reported being injured in the August 2024 bleacher collapse at the Kendall County Fairgrounds have been settled. The plaintiffs, Garret Daley and Lindsay Ward said that they suffered serious injuries when the structure collapsed, trapping them underneath the debris. The legal action sought compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and asked for punitive damages.
