Boost Boerne Business -National Wildlife Turkey Federation

It’s Friday May 29th. 

 

It was on this date in 1917 that the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was born.  And some more powerful people in Boerne celebrating a birthday today include Patrick Cohoon with Leger, Ketchum and Cohoon - and talk about power couple with Judge Kirsten Cohoon…newly married and new power couple and formerly Miss San Antonio Emma Faye Rudkin with Aid The Silent, and one more…happy birthday Dawn Adamek over at Boerne ISD in the Fine Arts Department…and the other half of power couple with Coach Chris.

I’m Baron Wiley. 

 

Congratulations to Letty Moncada for retiring after 22 years as a dispatcher at the Boerne Police Department. Her calm voice, professionalism and compassion will be missed by the force and citizens alike. Deputy G. Cardenas also just celebrated 5 years with the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office. He is a proud member of the Honor Guard, and ensures the safety and security of the courthouse every day. 

 

Bandera Electric Cooperative has been named one of the San Antonio Business Journal’s 2026 Best Places to Work.

BEC was recognized in the large employer category, with the final rankings to be announced at an awards ceremony in July.

The honor is based on employee feedback about workplace culture, training, retention, and innovation.

CEO Bill Hetherington says BEC’s nearly 150 employees are “the soul of the cooperative,” united by service to members and communities across the Texas Hill Country.

 

Did you hear about this?

After storms knocked out the power at the New Braunfels Utilities wastewater facility, more than 550,000 gallons of untreated wastewater flooded into the Guadalupe River. A utility lift station lost power between 1 and 4 in the morning on Wednesday, meaning wastewater could not be transported, eventually flooding the system. Cleanup began shortly after the flooding stopped, which included dirt removal and disinfecting areas where the overflow occurred. No residential areas needed to be disinfected, and the spill should have no effect on the drinking water. 

 

The Kendall County Commissioner's Court heard about a safety improvement project for the dangerous stretch on Highway 46 at their most recent meeting. The 6 year project would include adding turn lanes at seven intersections, a 4-foot centerline buffer and a barrier at Webster’s Curve. One of the more pressing matters is preventing crashes due to speeding and difficult turns- to deal with it in the meantime, TxDOT plans to install rumble strips along the centerline, adding warning signs and improving pavement markings. The short-term project is expected to finish in two years, while the final schematic design is projected to take up to six years, and funding has already been secured.

Headlines: Spurs force game 7, on brink of NBA Finals / 6 golfers tied through 1 at CSC

Photo: Yahoo Sports

Friday 5/28

Boerne Radio Sports- brought to you by the Carlson Law Firm and by Aligned Medical Billing Group - they help independent medical practices improve cash flow and increase revenue. They say If we can’t increase your revenue by 20%, then dinner is on us! Call Jamie Murray at (210) 307-7771. AlignedMedicalBillingGroup.com.

The best 2 words in sports- game. Seven. The Spurs in spectacular fashion did what they needed to do and played hard to force a game 7 Saturday. Game 6 last night was won by team work and possibly the St. John Bosco Salesian Sisters’ blessings on the team. Wemby had 28 points in the effort and was feeling himself- Spurs led the whole way through, and pushed out a final of 118-91. 

Now this means the series is tied at 3 games apiece. We head back to OKC on Saturday night for the decider. It’s a do or die game- if the Spurs win, they clinch their first NBA Finals berth since 2014. If they lose, this spectacular playoff run comes to an end. The keys to victory will be a near-perfect game- a good shooting percentage collectively, a big game from Wemby, Harper, and Fox, and disciplined defense like last night. If all that happens, I think we may be seeing the Spurs in the battle for the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Game 7 is tomorrow night at 7 on NBC.

And if you haven’t seen all the superstitions on social media- Spurs fans are relying on the predictions made two weeks ago by AirCorg on TikTok, who is a corgi that predicts sports events and series… got the first six games correct. And for game 7, his prediction is, the Spurs. Take that for what it is but he hasn’t been incorrect yet. 

Up in Fort Worth for the Charles Schwab Classic, and through round 1, you’re not going to believe this, 6 golfers are tied for 1st. 5 of those are Americans. No eagles recorded yet among those 6, but Ryan Gerard and Tom Kim of South Korea each have 8 pars. We’ll see who comes out of this in first place come Sunday.
