Still no leads on the theft and vandalism of Road and Bridge equipment that happened in Center Point along Elm Pass Road.…the equipment was left there for just one night, and thieves stole batteries, parts, and a critical control panel valued at $6000 from the county’s only chip spreader. Officials say the specialized part could take months to replace, delaying chip seal work on several roads. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office. 

In Fair Oaks construction is scheduled to resume this week on the new 500,000-gallon ground storage tank at Water Plant 5. Residents nearby might see increased traffic, equipment deliveries, crane operations and just general construction noise. Tank assembly is expected to continue through early July, followed by piping, electrical, and instrumentation work, and final disinfection before the tank is placed into service in the Fall.  

Tomorrow is the National Day of Prayer and in Boerne, the day will start with the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast at Las Guitarras on Main Street, with the blowing of the Shofar, worship led by Cross Mountain Church, a message from Mayor Frank Ritchie, and prayers from local pastors.  Then at 11:45 in Main Plaza, First Baptist Church will lead in praise and worship, Senator Donna Campbell will read the Governor's Proclamation, Commissioner Andra Wisian will pray for the county, Sheriff Al Auxier will pray for First Responders, with more local leaders and teachers praying for our churches, non-profits, our kids, and our businesses.  

You can see all the details and get tickets for the breakfast at Boerneprays.org.
