It’s Wednesday, September 3rd. 

And its national United States Bowling League Day - A game that used to be an outdoor sport called 9 pin, until Connecticut banned the game of 9 Pin to curb gamblers in 1841.  So, the gamblers added a pin and moved the game indoors to circumvent the law.  According to the documentary I saw, bowling is thought to have been played in prehistoric times.  (Flintstone FX)

The Boerne Police Department is currently investigating a fatal crash that occurred on Sunday just after 2am in the 300 block of Herff Road, which is just north of the Cibolo Center for Conservation. This was a single-vehicle crash, where the driver veered into the median and hit a tree.  Although police enacted life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Michelle Van Stavern.

The City of Boerne - breaking ground this morning on Northside Community Park on Adler Road.   The nearly 40-acre, $16.5 million project will feature an all-abilities playscape, multi-use sports fields with lights, a dog park, pickleball courts, a splashpad, and other amenities. The park will serve as a gathering place for the more than 700,000 people who visit Boerne’s green spaces each year. 

The South Texas Blood and Tissue Bank is in dire need of Type O blood after labor day weekend. The holiday took a serious toll on supplies, so all blood types are needed. However, Type O negative is the most important because it is the universal donor and can be given to anyone in an emergency, and Type O Positive can be given to most positive blood types. If you can give, visit southtexasblood.org/give.
