• Boerne City Lake jumps nearly 10 feet (boernestar.com) — Boerne City Lake has surged nearly 10 feet after recent heavy rains, but Boerne Utilities customers are still under Stage 2 water restrictions. City staff say the higher lake level improves summer recreation while reminding residents that the lake is also a key part of Boerne’s water system. Locals can track current levels and rules on the city website. 
• Boerne rep addresses Dark Sky conference (boernestar.com) — Boerne’s environmental program manager recently highlighted the city’s dark-sky work at a regional conference in Fredericksburg, sharing how local ordinances and lighting upgrades help protect night views. Leaders from across the Hill Country compared strategies for reducing light pollution and keeping star-filled skies visible. The collaboration underscores Boerne’s growing role in regional conservation efforts that shape how our community lights homes, businesses and public spaces.
• San Antonio woman indicted, accused of Medicare fraud scheme (expressnews.com) — Federal prosecutors say a San Antonio hospice owner has been indicted in a multimillion-dollar Medicare fraud case tied to ineligible hospice claims. In a related civil matter, a Boerne physician agreed to pay a settlement over allegations that her practice billed Medicare and TRICARE for an experimental injection product not covered by those programs. The case underscores ongoing federal scrutiny of health care billing across our region.
