Boerne, TX, May 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Four Boerne destinations were crowned “best of” in the 3rd annual Texas Travel Awards. Launched by the publishers of Austin Monthly, San Antonio Magazine and Texas Music, the awards were created to celebrate the top travel destinations and attractions across the Lone Star State.
Boerne-based attractions were selected as winners in four categories: Hill Country Mile won Best Destination Social Media Account | Small Market, the “Wild Bill” Hickok sculpture was named Best Instagrammable Spot | Small Market, The Kendall was named Best Hotel | Small Market, while statewide honors went to Boerne City Lake Park for Best Lake.
“Boerne is truly a special place, and we are thrilled to again have some of our beautiful destinations recognized by the Texas Travel Awards,” said Danny Zincke, Assistant City Manager. “This year’s award-winners are amazing—and just four of a million reasons to come spend time in Boerne.”
Boerne, located just 20 miles northwest of San Antonio, offers a variety of modern, historic, and unique hotels and rental properties along with plenty of activities that make it the perfect destination for a day trip, weekend getaway or days-long vacation.
About the winners:
The Hill Country Mile is a 1.1 “Texas-sized” mile of unique shops, restaurants and galleries running through the historic heart of downtown Boerne. The colorful storefronts and historic buildings bring feelings of nostalgia, but the Mile’s offerings are anything but antiquated. With more than 80 shops and restaurants offering a one-of-a-kind experience, it’s no surprise Country Living Magazine named the Hill Country Mile one of the “Top 25 Small Town Main Streets in America.” Find more at www.hillcountrymile.com and follow along on Facebook and their award-winning Instagram account.
“Wild Bill” Hickok Sculpture: This bronze sculpture by local artist Erik Christianson, and sculpted in Boerne’s Texas Treasures Fine Art Gallery, depicts a life-sized rendition of the folk hero lounging on a park bench, creating the perfect photo setup for guests. Wild Bill’s skills as a gunfighter and scout, along with his reputation as a lawman, provided the basis for his fame, making for a fun history lesson and tale to share with your photos. Find “Wild Bill” on Main Street, in…

BLUE BELL, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apr 19, 2023–
Committed to creating a greener, more sustainable planet on Earth Day and every day, BrightView (NYSE: BV) – the nation’s leading commercial landscaping company – reaffirms its industry leadership by focusing on three key environmental priorities as it designs and maintains the best landscapes on Earth:

- Greener Fleet: By deploying more battery-powered mowers and hand-held tools, as well as adding electric and hybrid vehicles, BrightView will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase use of renewable energy sources. Last year, BrightView invested in over 1,000 new pieces of electric equipment and added 400 hybrid or electric cars and trucks.
- Water Conservation: With many regions experiencing drought conditions and local governments enacting water restrictions, BrightView offers superior irrigation management services to clients, including smart irrigation controllers, turf conversion, and xeriscaping to better ensure water efficiency and conservation. Xeriscaping, a landscaping technique that uses plants appropriate to the local climate, can reduce water use by 60 percent or more.
- Ecosystem Preservation: Every year, BrightView plants tens of thousands of trees, shrubs, and grass as part of its best-in-class landscaping work. In 2022, BrightView partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 300,000 trees. These plantings help revitalize the ecosystem, while cleaning the air, filtering water, and sequestering carbon.
“As landscaping stewards, operating in an environmentally-friendly manner is the keystone to BrightView’s core business beliefs,” said Andrew Masterman, BrightView President and Chief Executive Officer. “We take great pride in setting the industry standard to ensure future generations benefit from our responsible way of how we serve our customers and communities where we live, work and play.”

WILMINGTON — On Monday night, the Select Board received presentations from Elderly Services Director Terri Marciello and Veterans Services Director Lou Cimaglia before they went through their communications and approved various requests.
Elderly Services Director Terri Marciello reported that programs are back in full swing at the Senior Center during the week, with over 100 seniors attending programs daily. She invited Case Manager Laura Pickett to speak to the recent programs for Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Pickett mentioned their series of programs focusing on Alzheimer’s and dementia from August through October of 2022 educating residents on things like warning signs of dementia and understanding dementia behaviors. These brought in 35-40 people each time. She said that she appreciated the chance to increase awareness of the senior center’s services.
Pickett also shared some upcoming events including a session on healthcare proxies and power of attorney on June 1 and a session on the dementia experience on June 6. These will address some of the physical and emotional hardships of those struggling with dementia.
There is also an ongoing caregiver’s support group that meets at the senior center, for which they had recently started up a volunteer program of support with home visits.
Marciello went on to name some of their popular activities such as wood carving and groups playing chess, cribbage, and cornhole. They are starting up a Civics 101 class and resuming Coffee with a Cop. The senior center had just concluded a tax program with volunteers from AARP to service residents. She invited anyone interested in being a home-delivered meal driver to reach out to the senior center.
Chair Judy O’Connell said that she looked forward to even further expansion of services with the new senior center being created.
Marciello replied that she was glad to provide intergenerational programming. She’s also looking for more connections for volunteering opportunities with Wilmington’s schools, not just at the high school. O’Connell told Marciello that they could come back at any time with more updates.
Veterans Services Director Lou Cimaglia informed the board about funding made available to the town to create a World War II memorial. Through discussion with Town Manager Jeff Hull and Director…
