Kindness From Case Memorial Foundation Inc. is a Texas non-profit corporation organized in the fall of 2018 to honor and memorialize the life, legacy and acts of kindness shown by Case Robinson to those around him. This foundation grew from the funds that were so graciously donated in his memory by the community.

Case was a fifth-grade student at Fairfield Intermediate School who died on Sept. 10, 2018, at the age of 11, as a result of a UTV accident. Although Case is now with God, he left many fond memories for those who knew, loved, cherished and

befriended him.Case loved video games,

baseball, shooting sports and had played little league football with the Fairfield organization. After Case’s passing, Freestone County pulled together to pay respect to and to honor this child in a manner which has not been seen in many years.

Throughout Case’s brief life he was a joy and inspiration to those around him. He never met a stranger and lived life to the fullest. He often came home from school informing his parents, Regina and George Robinson, of a new child at school who had become his friend. He

always spoke of how much he enjoyed his teachers and fellow classmates.

As a way for Case’s legacy to be continued, the foundation was formed. One of the foundation’s goal is to continue with community involvement on behalf of Case. Through annual scholarships, and other acts of a charitable nature, Kindness From Case will continue the legacy of kindness left by Case.

To help fund scholarships, the foundation is holding a golf tournament Saturday, July 27, at Tri-County Golf Course at the Vineyards. See below for more information.

Help keep seniors cool this summer

In other business, commissioners offered non-contractual support to Ed Schwille regarding an application for structural repair work to watershed site 16A, located outside of Coolidge. Schwille explained that an inspection by Natural Resources Conservation Services revealed repair would be necessary for the worn-down, north-facing front toe slope of the site.

“The structure is over 50 years of age, and the proposal is an application to repair the front slope, which has melted down to an angle,” Schwille said. “The wave action is getting into the front slope of the dam embankment itself, but this repair would improve the life of the structure. They would replace it with rock and riff-raff on top of it.”

He explained that should the application be approved for structural repair work, NRCS would cover 95% of the cost; up to 4% would be covered by state funding; and the county would be responsible for remaining cost, which could fall anywhere between 1 and 4%. Estimated cost for the project was projected between $255,000 and $295,000.

Although the application in itself is non-binding, Duncan expressed some qualms with agreeing to contribute to the project until the cost is more clearly defined, but expressed willingness to try and plan the cost into a future budget when more information is known.

Commissioners voted to endorse the application for the project without committing financially at this time.

The court also held a brief public hearing regarding the proposed partial closure of Limestone County Road 171 near Coolidge. Road and

Bridge Administrator Jerry Herin provided some context, explaining that shortening the unpaved, sand road by about 2,000 feet would benefit a few citizens and have no impact on a large majority of county residents. Allen Miller and Elaine Wyatt voiced support for the closure, as it would prevent unnecessary but frequent turnarounds at the site of their second home. With no further comments on the closure, the public hearing ended, and the court approved the partial closure of LCR 171.

Annual bids for fiscal year 2020-2021 have closed, and the court approved the following:

Janitorial Bids: Talley Chemical Supply and Renco;

Pest Control Bids: Mexia Pest Control;

Road & Oil Bids: Bryan & Bryan;

Limestone Base Bids: Conners Crushed Stone, Frost; Crushed Stone Co., Helmcamp, and Knife River;

Steel Culverts Bids: Wilson; and

Diesel Bids; Unleaded Bids: Fikes Wholesale.

The court voted to re-open bids for Sand, Contract-Hauling, and Bridge & Lumber, as none of those categories received bids. Carter Ranch LLC was awarded hay-cutting rights for Limestone County Detention Center, and Limestone County Parks 2 and 3.

In other matters the court:Approved the consent agenda;Took no action on enacting a

County Burn Ban;Accepted the retirement of

LCSO K9 Jack;Approved utility line

agreement for City of Kosse to bore an additional waterline; and

Approved budget transfer #466 (Road and Bridge); decreasing contingency of $300,000 by $56,00 to use for bridge materials and shop uniforms.
