The issues of controlling anger
Q: I have to admit that my temper gets the best of me. When my husband or kids push my buttons, I just “let it out” (with words, not violence). That’s how my parents lived and how I was raised. Is there any way I can change? 07/05/2022 12:00 AM

Let’s face it, some of the news from the past few weeks has been pretty crummy, including the Uvalde school shooting, the Jan. 6 hearings and the GOP platform in general. Many of us still need time to process our feelings. 07/01/2022 12:00 AM

Next week, we observe Independence Day, an opportunity to celebrate all the liberties we enjoy in this country. Of course, there are different types of freedoms – such as financial freedom, which can open the doors to many other opportunities. 07/01/2022 12:00 AM

Increased safety and security
Boerne ISD, along with the Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch police departments and the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, recently agreed to assign each BISD campus with a designated School Resource Officer beginning in the 2022-23 academic year. The collaboration is in an effort to strengthen safety and security measures at all Boerne ISD facilities. The announcement was made during the June board of trustees meeting and recognition was given to the three local law enforcement agencies at that time.

I-10 road work to alter traffic
As part of the ongoing Interstate 10 frontage road work, the Texas Department of Transportation announced on Thursday that the contractor is progressing into the last stage of construction for the new Highway 87 bridge. That, in turn, necessitates transitioning the I-10 mainlane traffic from the current location to the segment that is currently a work area closed to traffic. 07/01/2022 12:00 AM
