2024: A look back at the year in Salado

December 30, 2024 by Tim Fleischer

By Tim Fleischer, Editor-in-Chief

Saladoans were in the path of totality of a total solar eclipse, broke ground on a new high school and stadium, saw a parade featuring the Clydesdales, found out that Sirenafest is moving to Belton, elected a new mayor and two new aldermen and found out that the Village is broke with a $1.4 million deficit budget.

The community also saved an historic old church and moved it to a new location on the grounds of the Salado administrative building.

These are a few of the highlights of the year 2024.

Main Street building lost to fire

December 21, 2022 by Tim Fleischer

Bell, Coryell approved for $1 million to develop Habitat Conservation Plan

November 22, 2022 by Tim Fleischer

By Tim Fleischer

Editor-in-Chief

“It’s not a matter of ‘if,’” Bell County Judge David Blackburn said last week, “it’s a matter of when they are found and what the impact will be when they are found.”

Judge Blackburn was talking about what he calls “creepy crawlies.” These aren’t the cute teddy bears or the American Eagle or other species that have been saved from extinction.

Local man seeks bone marrow transplant for multiple sclerosis

September 21, 2022 by Tim Fleischer

By Tim Fleischer

Editor-in-Chief

Walt Tollefson needs our help.

The long-time Saladoan is seeking a specialized treatment not currently available in the United States to halt the progression of the multiple sclerosis that he was diagnosed with several years ago. The treatment is a bone marrow transplant that utilizes the patient’s own hematopoietic stem cells rather than the marrow of a matching donor.

In layman’s terms, the hematopoietic stems cells are harvested from the person and  are used to restore the normal hematopoiesis of the patient after that patient has been exposed to high dose chemotherapy delivered to aim immunosuppression.
