College Drive Keene to North Main Street in CleburneIn an ongoing effort to

improve safety and relieve congestion, the Texas Trans-portation Commission ap-proved $28.5 million for the expansion of U.S. 67 to a four lane highway. This project completes the U.S. 67 Bypass

expansion around Cleburne for a total of $58.8 million in safety and mobility improve-ments in recent years. The completion of U.S. 67

is an extremely important project for the citizens of Johnson County, said Johnson County Judge Harmon. The new roadway will enhance

the ability for our citizens to travel in a much safer mode and will reduce the travel time. I would like to express my appreciation to TxDOT for their determination to finish this roadway for our citizens.Lone Star Civil Construction,

Inc. was awarded the project that will widen the existing

highway to a four lane divided highway. The project will stretch along U.S. 67 from SH 174 to BUS 67/SPUR 102. Construction is estimated to begin fall 2013 and be com-pleted by summer 2016.This important project is the

last of three projects that im-proves the U.S. 67 Cleburne

bypass to full capacity, said Brian Barth, Interim District Engineer. We appreciate our partnership with the Regional Transportation Council of the North Central Texas Council of Governments that secured funding for this project.This $28.5 million project is

the final phase for widening

U.S. 67 around Cleburne. The first $12.8 million U.S. 67 widening project from Nolan River Road to just east of SH 174 was completed in April 2011. The second $17.5 mil-lion U.S. 67 widening project from Nolan River Road to Business U.S. 67 was com-pleted in December 2012.

Bypass Construction to Begin in November

17 yr old Audrie Marie Strickland a junior at our Wanda R. Smith High School died late Saturday night after being hit by a car on highway 174 in Joshua. The accident occurred at

about 9:25 p.m. in the 500 block of South Broadway Street, Highway 174. Aud-rie Strickland died at Texas Health System’s Harris Meth-odist Hospital in downtown Fort Worth at 11:55 p.m. after being CareFlited from the scene of the accident. According to Marty Strick-

land, Audrie ‘s father, Audrie was on her way to visit a friend via her favorite mode of transportation, her bicycle,

and was headed westbound on Cooper Lane from her home to cross South Broad-way Street and was hit in the intersection. Burleson Fire Department

responded on mutual aid and assisted with the CareFlite helicopter. Keene Fire Marshal and Burleson Fire Fighter, Jake Hopps, was on the Burleson Fire Truck and was unaware of the identity of the victim. Students and staff gathered

Sunday night at 7pm in front of the Keene High School to participate in a candle light vigil. Keene High School principal, Sandy Denning gave a few remarks and Pas-

tor Jennifer Scott had a very touching prayer. The students sang several songs then Pastor Alonso gave a heartfelt talk. Candles were lit and displayed in memory of Audrie. Some students spelled her name with the lit candles. The Strickland family re-

ceived visitors from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday at Rosser Funeral Home in Cleburne. Services for Audrie will be

conducted today at 4 p.m. in the Keene Seventh-Day Adventist Church, with burial in the Keene Memorial Park. Pastor Geraldo Alonso II will officiate the service.

Keene High School Student Killed In Joshua Accident

Students of KISD gather with staff and teachers to remember Audrie

On Thursday evening the Keene ISD held on an open house for all three campuses of the district. In conjunc-tion with the open house, first year superintendent Ricky Stephens, inaugurated the first community-wide hot dog feed. It was Ricky Stephens inten-tions to get as many people to come visit the district’s schools and teachers, whether they had children enrolled or not. It worked. It was estimated that over 1400 people came, ate and visited the district’s campuses. The current school board

members along with several staff members served over 1900 all beef hot dogs and over 300 “vegetable” hot dogs to the visitors that night. In addition to all the hot dogs eaten almost 950 snow cones were served in front of the Keene Junior High. After the food and the report cards were handed out the cafetorium was the site of the candidates forum. Not many specta-tors stayed to listen to the 10 candidates that were able to be present. Tom Kimbrow, mod-erated the forum with the help of Peyton Stephens. Robert Bischoff, Judy Miles, Donnie Beeson, Edgardo Perez, Geri Montgomery, Patricia Miers, Sheri Hadley, Gary Heinrich, Evamarie Erazo and Michael Nightingale were the candi-dates that appeared. Mary Ann Hodges and Duc Webber were not able to attend.
