Tristan Fortner and his brother and sister Kyleigh and Hunter had been talking about Blanco needing a snow cone stand for a long time. It took them by surprise that they would be the ones to be Blanco’s newest and quite possibly youngest-owned business, Cardinal Cones.

Westcott began meditation when she was asked by a friend to attend a meditation class.
Anyone who has been reading my column for very long probably already knows I have a real problem with exotics. Previously, on a trip to the Texas Coast and South Texas, I saw, again, the problems presented by many invasive plant species. Most people in the Edwards Plateau, and most of the rest of Texas for that matter, are aware of the exotic, invasive grass, King Ranch or KR Bluestem and it is a problem most all landowners have to deal with or just live with.

On Father’s Day, a 24-year-old Blanco man took his girlfriend swimming at Pedernales Falls State Park, but when he dove into the water, he struck a rock, injuring his spinal cord.
That means when he gets home from the hospital later this week, he’ll be in a wheelchair, but his family couldn’t afford to have a ramp built to their mobile home.
Happily, the ramp-building team in Johnson City not only was able to build the ramp and larger front porch at the home, but also delivered the ...
