📰 News we're reading
• Popular Boerne lake closed indefinitely — here's why (mysanantonio.com) — Boerne City Lake and City Lake Park remain closed indefinitely after recent Hill Country flooding pushed the reservoir to 140% capacity and still eight inches above its limit. City crews are repairing damage and cleaning up debris, and officials say the park will reopen only when it’s safe, following deadly regional storms that spared Kendall County but hit nearby communities hard. 
• Tony Parker's massive Texas mansion just got a major price cut (lmtonline.com) — A luxury 53-acre Anaqua Springs Ranch estate just outside Boerne, once listed at $20 million, is now on the market for about $11 million. The longtime home of former Spurs star Tony Parker has seen multiple price changes and national attention, including a month-long Twitch streaming campaign that showcased the property’s massive waterpark and sports facilities.
• A sneak peek at Baylor's Class of 2030 (baylor.edu) — A Champion High School graduate from Boerne, Juliana Long, is highlighted among Baylor University’s incoming Class of 2030 for earning All-Star honors at Baylor’s Summer Debate Program and excelling in basketball and academics. Her volunteer work in the San Antonio area and plans to double major in finance and economics showcase how Boerne students are making their mark beyond town.
