Homemaker opens up front porch stand in Wichita Falls

A Wichita Falls woman aims to bring the community together by means of her new small-business porch stand, Shugarshoo Home Goods . The front porch stand is self-serve and open for business 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday at the corner of Rhea Road and Blankenship Street. According to owner Kayla Crane, the business started off in July 2024 as a way of earning extra income. She began attending the Downtown Wichita Falls Farmers Market on Saturdays, but her business steadily became something bigger as the demand grew. In April, Crane opened up the self-serve porch stand, which offers customers another avenue to purchase her made-from-scratch products. "In our opinion, everything in the world is getting kind of lackadaisical, and commercial, and everything is made cheaper with seed oils, and it's all about making a dollar," said Crane. "Everything we do, we do with the best ingredients we can that makes reasonable sense to also be able to turn a profit." Crane said her products do not use vegetable or canola oil, and she only uses real butter. The caramel, toffee and puddings used in the cookies or treats are made from scratch on the stove.

Capital murder trial begins in Wichita Falls for Matison Preville

The capital murder trial of Matison Preville is underway in 89 th District Court in Wichita Falls. Testimony began Nov. 9 in the trial of the man accused of killing his former girlfriend, Keren Martinez Ballesteros, in June 2025. Ballesteros' body was found in a field near the Cashion community. Suspects are considered innocent unless convicted beyond doubt in a court of law. A police affidavit filed in the case said autopsy results showed Ballesteros had suffered two blasts from a shotgun, one to the torso and another to the head. The affidavit said police had been alerted by a friend of the woman on June 17 that Ballesteros had been missing since June 14. The friend said Ballesteros was supposedly on her way to Preville’s home in the Mustang Village Apartments in Wichita Falls when she was last seen. The affidavit said cell phone data police obtained showed Preville’s phone had traveled the same route as Ballesteros’ phone and had been at the field where Ballesteros' body was found. Preville, now 22, was originally charged with murder, but a second affidavit filed in the case escalated the charge to capital murder because investigators believed he had kidnapped Ballesteros before

Study reveals unhealthy profile of Wichita Falls residents

A study of Wichita Falls' collective health conducted by Blue Zones LLC claims residents of the city have high rates of tobacco use, are physically inactive, have poor diets, suffer from high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and are obese. The numbers are in comparison to national and state figures as well as communities that participate in Blue Zones initiatives. The findings were revealed in a virtual forum conducted online Nov. 9 by Blue Zones LLC, a for-profit company headquartered in Edina, Minnesota. United Regional Health Care Systems sponsors the Blue Zones initiative in the city. URHCS CEO Corey Edmondson said in August Blue Zones considered coming to Wichita Falls “because we are one of the most unhealthy counties in Texas.” The study, available at bluezoneswichitafallsreport.com claims Wichita Falls adults have high rates of diabetes and depression but comparatively low rates of cancer. The company also says that, without intervention, medical and lost productivity costs will increase by $11.7 billion over the next decade.
