TRIVIA TIDBITS
Father’s Day, when fathers are honored by their children, was first observed in 1908 to complement Mother’s Day. After a sporadic history, President Lyndon Johnson issued a proclamation in 1966 designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. In 1972, President Richard Nixon made it a permanent national holiday when he signed it into law.
LAKE AND RIVER
On June 15, Medina Lake is at 66.9 per cent capacity. The lake level is 1048.65 feet, which is down 15.55 feet.
The Medina River has a flow of 15.2 cfs in Bandera, running 3.53 feet deep at the gage.
