For Robertson County Judge Jan Roe, the rennovation has been a passion and labor of pride. Combined ef-forts with the Robertson County Commissioners have brought the courthouse back to the people of Robert-son County.


Melissa FreeMan | robertson County news

The Historic Jail which is located on the courthouse square was also ren-novated to house adult as well as juve-nile probation.

Maybe it’s a reflection of the Texas spir-it—Texans tend to glorify government that’s close and personal, government they can touch and influence. So, historically (and es-pecially since the Civil War and Reconstruc-tion), Texans have built big and beautiful courthouses and hired famous architects to make sure they were not disappointed.

Robertson County went with the trend in 1881—hired the courthouse architect and sent its house of government soaring into the blue skies above Franklin. In the 1920s, the Courthouse needed remodeling and more practical heads must have prevailed. The result was an attractive enough building, but following the alteration, the “soaring”

effect was gone—the 5 towers, a tall one in the center and four to mark the four corners, were removed. The sweeping, arched, two-story windows were replaced with much shorter, more practical ones. Inside, the building no longer sported a two-story tall, undeniably grand courtroom. The County needed the office space and couldn’t afford big open ones.

By 2007 the renovation was long over-due. Officials were praying that the a/c units and central heat would last through each budget cycle (both had leaks that couldn’t be stopped for long), county officials had run out of space (“We were on top of each other,” says County Judge Jan Roe), and the idea of returning the courthouse to its original grandeur had already been proposed by retiring Judge Fred Elliott. The seed had been planted, the Courthouse square designated an historic site, so renovations needed to be” historic-looking.” To a county used to pinching pennies flat, the task looked daunting.

Enter Judge Jan Roe and a slate of new

commissioners. Judge Elliott had managed to get the

reconstruction plan drawn up for a faction of the usual cost--$30,000 as opposed to a typical cost of over $100,000—but the grant proposal to the Texas Historical Commis-sion including the plan had been turned down.

In truth, a return to the 1880s structure with more courtroom space than office space was actually even less practical in 2007 than it was in the 1920s—office needs had probably more than doubled by then. The solution? Return the exterior to 1881 but modify the inside to look like the period, but with space for county administrators—some of them, at least. To make room for the rest, the County decided to build an Annex mim-icking in appearance the 1920s structure—made of the same materials and connected to the reconstructed historic courthouse—and reconstruct the historic jail to house juvenile and adult probation.

During historic courthouse reconstruc-tion, the Annex provided space for some

Texas Courthouses are legendry. Tabletop books are produced about them, tourists visit them, and counties brag about them.

county offices; others like Robertson County DPS and the probation offices were housed in buildings around the square.

Seven years later, Roe and her commissioners got it done. Almost all county officials and law enforcement entities are housed in the courthouse, its an-nex, or the historic jai—all on the square. Offices are spacious and well-appointed, the Annex sports a state-of-the-art Emergency Management Center which will probably become a training center for law enforcement and emergency management entities across the region—it’s that high tech— all done in time and under budget. The high tech equip-ment came from grants awarded after 9/11; much of the furniture, interior doors and windows, etc., were reused in different loca-tions. “We’ve been careful to spend county money wisely,” said Roe.

To many, including Roe, it seems like it was “meant to be,” as if a perfect plan came together. First, in 2007, Roe and a panel of new commissioners came into office—people who were energetic and had not been worn down by the demands of public office. Next, the County came into money—lots of natural gas money. When unanticipated and unbudgeted revenues came in, they were saved to cover con-struction costs.

The County made modifi-cations to Judge Elliott’s plan and ran with it. Roe adds that County Clerk Kathy Brimhall contributed much of the his-torical research essential to the plan. One question that remains unanswered is, “Did the origi-nal courthouse have a clock it its central tower?” The single courthouse picture isn’t clear enough to answer the question. Some residents who swear that it did claim they remember it. That was pre-1924—not impossible to

remember but we’re talking 90 years. The commissioners’ court decided to go with the clock.

But back to today--in seven years, the County went from 19,500 square feet to 43,000 square feet of space and its court-house soared into the skies again.

What were Roe’s and the commissioners’ greatest chal-lenges over that 7 year period? “Getting the Annex finished,” said Roe without any hesitation. Apparently, the County’s out of town contractors did not put the Robertson County courthouse annex high on their priority list. Getting people to come and work was difficult for both Roe and construction manager/liaison Jim Hanks. “It just drug,” said Roe.

With historic courthouse contractor J. E. Kingham out of Bryan, it’s been entirely different. Kingham has done what he said he would do, when he said he would do it.

Getting Mr. Hanks was fortunate as well. Franklin ISD recommended him and he’s a local fellow so he had a stake in the project

The last two steps in the current project were altering the annex offices to house law enforcement (the SO, constables for precincts 1, 2, and 3, DPS and emergency management) and completing the historic jail reconstruction. With the trea-surer, county auditor, judge and offices directly answerable to the judge (they share with third floor with her), and DA’s suite in the historic courthouse, the County was able to alter the vacated an-nex basement and second floor to house its law enforcement enti-ties. With alterations like bullet proof walls and glass and secured entrances, law enforcement and emergency management moved in. Some walls had to be re-moved but in most cases, doors were simply moved to create new office spaces.

Returning to the historic courthouse, one of the biggest beneficiaries was the District/County Attorney’s suite. Take the Victim’s Advocate’s office for example. Cindy Wallace not only has her own space but also a play room for kiddos coming out of abusive situations. County Attorney Coty Siegert’s office is spacious and attractive--all secure with staff behind locked doors.

And here are two bonuses that might not have been antici-pated. First, there’s the County vault that had been shut up for decades. It took three construc-tion companies to get it open, but what they found is an historic treasure. The vault features floor to ceiling brass drawers, gold leaf labels, and doors and shudders that are literally heavy as lead. The shutters take a muscle man or a machine to move. It’s a priceless step back in time.

And speaking of steps back, that’s exactly the feeling one gets in the old jail. It’s repainted using the original colors (believe me, you don’t see that particular blue any more) and still features some of the original iron doors and door bars. Seeing the front porch and balcony above, one envisions Matt Dillon or some long-legged sheriff sitting on the porch, lean-ing back in a chair, and resting his boots on a rail.

What’s next? The County plans to move its Election Center out of the mobile home it occu-pies and either built or purchase another building, and possibly built a justice center. For now, the County will complete the courthouse grounds landscap-ing, construct and place rep-lica benches, and complete the historic display area on the east lawn featuring items collected from the courthouse and jail. On April 7, the fountain—a replica of the original—pumped out water again. Nice touch.


He also knows how to give a customer a full meal at a very reasonable price. If you’re passing through Hearne between 6 a.m (the breakfast specials are good too) and 9 p.m., and your wallet feels flatter than your stomach—Po-tato Shack is your solution.

Perrone opened the Hearne Potato Shack in August 2013. He received a warm welcome, but after a month or so, the report went out that quality had suffered. So Lee returned and took over the store himself.

Perrone also added break-fast to the menu and some mornings, the counter area is as packed as a can of Vienna

sau-sage. The word on the street now is that one can get an ample breakfast for a good price.

Business is coming back, quality has come up, and Po-tato Shack is one of the only local restaurants that deliv-ers. Lee will bring the food himself.

Potato Shack potatoes come stuffed with all kinds of good things. The chicken fried steak potato is a favor-ite. The Buffalo wings potato has Buffalo chicken meat, homemade ranch dressing on

the side, butter, and cheddar cheese. The BBQ potato has chopped beef, butter, ched-dar cheese, chives, and sour cream—sound like a meal? One can get potatoes with tra-ditional stuffings like cheese, bacon, sour cream and chives. Fillings can include chicken in grilled or fried form, and a variety of cheeses and sauces. Fajita meat—beef or chicken with the grilled onions and peppers-- can top a potato. And at lunch—one can get a big potato with big toppings for $5. Perrone also sells a host of appetizers, either half or whole orders, a variety of drinks and Blue Bell ice cream.

In addition to the lunch special, one can get the Friday special -- $3.99 per potato—or the regular dinner special of $12.99 for two potatoes and

two large drinks.

A family of three can be satisfied

with that one. I know from experience.

Perrone has plans for the future. He is working to secure a beer license and when he does, he plans to have crawfish boils on Saturday. He wants to add outside seating and ex-pand his catering service. He can handle large orders.

For those who might have been disappointed in the past or those who haven’t tasted a Potato Shack spud or break-fast, Lee says, “Give us a try!”

Lee Perrone has been in the potato restaurant business since January 1998, so he knows his spuds.




Junior Swonke takes pride in cus-tomer service first!

Junior Swonke received the “Best of Robertson County Tire Dealer” award for a reason—maybe sev-eral. J & S Tire Center is full service and they deliver.

Swon-ke has been in the business for 12 years in the same loca-tion—Highway 79 just west of Franklin—and during that time, he has built up an incredibly loyal customer base. One indica-tor of that loyalty is Swonke’s service area. It’s not just Frank-lin. He has customers in Rose-bud-Lott, Snook, Bryan/College Station, Madisonville, Norman-gee, and Jewett. That says a lot.

One reason for

that dedication is J & S will come to

you. They will change oil in your tractor in the field. They will come to your home to do the work or bring in your vehicle and take it back. That’s a god-spend for people who have a hard time fitting a trip to the shop into their work and after work schedules. Junior mentioned that his service man makes a lot of trips to the

schools, to the court-

house, to the title companies, and to other

local businesses.Those services are broad as

well. Battery dead? Call J & S. His crew changes oil, sells batter-ies (Interstate), and handles just about every tire brand—Cooper being first on the list. He sells car parts and, during my visit, he was looking at a tire pres-sure censor for Gaas truck out of Bryan.

Junior also sells from used tires, mostly the bigger sizes.

J & S is also known for its fast service and fair prices. Junior still puts his customers first.



will become increasingly evident to local farmers and ranchers as they explore what this multi-facet-ed, broad-range service company can do for them. Sanders is not just a feed store. Its goal is to provide ag produc-ers with everything they need to maximize their harvest and minimize the negatives often associated with modern farming and ranching—fertil-izer run-off and insecticide pollution.

Sanders established its lo-cal office in Hearne on Septem-ber 1, 2013, and immediately started improving the long neglected Zeig building on the corner of Hwy. 6 and FM 485. Location manager Mike New-ton thanks City Manager Pee Wee Drake and the city’s utility man, Terry Thomas, for their help in getting the business up and going. Sanders, which be-gan as a family owned business in 1953, has been serving the mid-south region, specifically the Mississippi delta, for over

60 years. Founder “Mr. Jimmy” Sanders was a local farming

legend.Recent-

ly, Sand-ers went nationwide when it became a subsidiary of Pinnacle Corpo-ration, founded by Kenny Cardell, former president and CPO of United Agricultur-

al Products, and began offering to its customers everything a nationally-based company can provide.

First, on site, the Hearne location offers seeds and chem-ical herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Seeds include cotton, corn, milo, soybeans, wheat, and watermelons. But with the chemical products come custom application. Sanders has agreements with local areal appliers, but it can also do something so high tech, it changes the face of farming and ranching as well as envi-ronmental control.

Newton describes specialty ag precision technology this way. Sanders technicians di-

vide a property into a grid and test the soil grid by grid. Then the company provides the fer-tilizer and application to fit the needs of each grid. That does two things. First, the farmer only buys the fertilizer he or she needs. Second, the soil gets the precise amount and balance it needs. And third, fertilizer does not run off into the Little Brazos or Brazos and create mounds of oxygen-sucking, fish-killing green algae down-stream.

Sanders’ OptiGro tech-nologies brochure describes it this way: “Soil sampling with web-based data analysis, accessible any time; variable-rate prescriptions for seed and fertilizer; pivot analysis post-season yield assessment.” Newton said that local farmers are already taking advantage of these high tech solutions. That makes sense because families that made the Brazos bottom their home in the 1920s, mostly Italian, came with techniques far superior to their predeces-sors’.

With reasonable weather, farmers are likely to recover the cost of testing in improved har-vests and lower fertilizer costs.

Preventing chemical run-off is another Sanders OptiGro goal. Newton mentioned lakes in the Waco area that became so polluted that area dairies had to move to west Texas. We

don’t want that to happen here, he said.

For farmers who are frightened by the initial cost of precision technology, Sanders offers “a selection of com-petitive, flexible farm financing and credit products, including operating and input loans via Farmline Finance.” It promises to evaluate applications quickly and confidentially.

Sanders is also committed to safety. As a member of As-Mark, the industry is committed to storing all chemicals safely. If something does happen, each employee has at his fingertips a color-coded list of who to call for what problem.

Manager Mike Newton and warehouse manager Matt Copora know Brazos Valley farming. Newton, a graduate of Texas A & M and longtime College Station resident, has been involved in Brazos Valley agriculture for over 22 years. As for Copora, the name says it all.

Said Newton, “We would like to continue the same fami-ly-oriented service [the Sanders family is famous for]. We want to be a member of the Hearne community.” He appreciates the way the city of Hearne worked closely with Sanders to make Hearne its Brazos valley location, serving farmers and ranchers from Robertson to Grimes County.


Mike Newton is fast becoming the go to man for local agriculture.

The significance of the Sanders Company motto, “Before Seed – Beyond Harvest,”


The old saying was that after the Hearne Walmart closed, you couldn’t buy clothes or shoes in Robertson Coun-ty.

The Walmart had forced the mom and pop stores out of business and then closed itself down, leaving the County bereft.

That changed when the dollar stores came to Hearne and then to Franklin, but if you lived in Calvert and Bremond, you still had to drive somewhere to cover yourself. Im-age the joy when Family Dollar announced it would open stores in both cities.

Cathy Grantham, manager of the Bremond store that opened in February, said that she has never experienced a welcome like the one she has enjoyed in Bremond. “I’ve opened three new stores,” she said,

but “the welcome I got in Bremond tops them all.”

At least one reason for the warm welcome is obvious—two others deserve a look. First, Calvert and Bremond residents were tired of driving for miles to get most items—especially in an emergency situation and with mounting gas prices. Second and maybe not so obvious, Cathy is a lady people like to buy from. She knew a lot of her current customers from the Marlin store she used to manage.

Cathy doesn’t mind talking to folks. And she enjoys the Family Dollar promotions. “Buy food,” she called out to customers last week-- Family Dollar was having a food-selling contest. Contests are fun, she said, and it was obvious the fun was spilling over to the customers.

Third, Calvert Manager Brian Davis pointed out that Family Dollar accessed the needs of the

community and stocked its shelves to meet those needs. Calvert-based county commissioner Keith Petitt believes they succeeded. After cruising around the store and look-ing at the items offered, Petitt was impressed. “This is such a boom for Calvert—for the growth of the town and the residents,” he said. Just looking at one isle, he noticed a lot of items residents are pleased to find close to home—items like pharma-ceuticals folks may need in a hurry.

Davis also mentioned EDLP—or Every Day Low Pricing—that makes Family Dollar competitive. On its own brands and nationally known ones, Family Dollar plans to offer prices that are easy on the pocketbook.

The Family Dollar corporation honored both Bremond and Franklin with managers with lots of experi-ence. Brian is new to Family Dollar but he’s managed an Albertsons,


Home Depot, and a Brookshires. At some point, he got tired of big city life and decided to come home to the Grosbeck area. In March, he signed on with Family Dollar and prepared to come to Calvert. The store opening was delayed a little—first by the need for extensive site work and then by a change in contractors. But on April 2, the store opened. The Grand Opening fol-lowed on April 12, and folks started shopping.

Grantham has a long history with Family Dollar, but the move to Bremond was a whole new thing. “The people have been so wonder-ful. I feel right at home. They did everything but give us a parade to make us welcome.”

Since it opened on February 20, the Bremond Family Dollar has done better than projected. On the day I visited, the lines at the counter were long, and as soon as Cathy checked out those customers, another line started to form.

It seems safe to say that Bre-mond and Calvert are excited to have Family Dollar in their neigh-borhoods.



They did and got quite a name for themselves. Twenty years later, they sold the store to Kimberly Tidwell who added a coffee house, and less than a

year later, a long-time employee of the sisters, Melissa Romas, bought it. Maintaining the qual-ity, trying out new recipes, and putting quality over economy-- “quality supersedes price” is what Melissa is all about.

You can talk about the Burger Bar for a long time and not cover it all. It’s got some en-tries people can’t get enough of like the chicken salad fruit plate and the fried baked potatoes—

several varieties. The fried baked potato came out of a conversa-tion about how anything can be fried. And wha-la!

The coffee is simply the best in the county—at least this cof-fee snob thinks so.

The Burger Bar features burgers on some really tasty buns but the restaurant’s name is a little deceptive because its lunch and dinner items and daily specials are almost too numer-ous to mention. The catfish fillet dinner on Thursdays and Fridays packs in the fish lovers.

Sunday dinner after church is Romas’ busiest time, however. Recently, the Sunday special was grilled chicken, avocado salad and crisp corn. What’s crisp corn? Well, Melissa says, she learned all she knows about cooking from Tiny and Te-resa but admits to cruising the internet for interesting recipes. If she’s intrigued by one, she’s brave enough to try it out.

Guests can look for all kinds of sweet treats in the bakery display case—chocolate chip cookies and pineapple cake looked very appealing on the day I visited, and there’s always

Blue Bell in the freezer.But if a guest wants some-

thing that’s not exactly on the menu, he or she can ask. County Election Administrator Trudy Hancock says, “You can get what you want how you want it.”

Calvin Hooker of Camp Creek echoed that sentiment. He said as he bit into his burger that he appreciated the fact that the Burger Bar allowed an adult to get the junior burger. “I can’t eat a 1/2 pound burger,” he added. But those who can really ap-preciate an entire half pound of good beef can get it.

So if you’re hungry for a big burger or a smaller turkey burger, a 16 oz. rib eye steak or a cup of homemade chicken salad, a fried baked potato with chicken fried steak tenders or a fresh fruit bowl, you can get it at the Lone Star Burger Bar.

While savoring, look at Jeff Munson’s Texas-inspired mural which takes up much of the west wall—it’s a beauty.

The Lone Star Burger Bar is open 7 days a week, 7:30 to 2:00, Friday till 9 pm. It’s family owned and operated.


A familiar Franklin face behind the register, Melissa Romas.

The Lone Star Burger Bar opened in 1988 when sisters Tina Ely and Teresa Martin decided to offer good food to Franklin resi-dents.



One thing that still amazes Helen Groholski is that after years in the sausage business, she still loves it; in fact, she can’t imagine doing anything else.

Walking into Groholski’s grocery (now mostly sausage plant), one might assume she loves it for the delicious smells. Groholski’s smells like a sausage-lover’s dream. Or it could be love of Polish tradition—sausage being the basis of a lot of tradi-tional Polish food. But actually, it’s something else entirely.

“I’m a people person,” says Helen. “[Selling sausage], I get to see my old friends and meet new ones. It’s the spice of life.”

For 60 years, Groholski sausage has been a Bremond and Robertson County tradition. Everyone in the Groholski family has either made it or sold it. All four of Helen’s sons have

made it.It’s one thing people go to

Polish Days for—even if they have to travel 200 miles to get there. And Groholski’s will be ready. The days before the June 20-21 event, they will produce almost 1,700 lbs. of sausage. That’s a lot of grinding and smok-ing.

The family recipe was developed 60 years ago when Lee Groholski started up the sausage business. Sons Richard and Elzi kept the business going, and grandson K. L., with the help of Howard Vann, is grinding and smoking sausage today—in ad-dition to his school duties. K. L.,

former Rob-ertson County principal and superintendent (Bremond and Calvert) is a public school professional as well.

On a typi-cal weekend, K. L. and Howard produce about 300 lbs. of sausage for folks who make purchases on Friday and Saturday. In addition to the sausage, Groholski’s also sells cheese, summer sausage and bacon on those days, says Helen.

The sausage is wrapped in freezer paper and comes in several varieties: Hot and spicy or regular links, bun-size regular and hot and spicy, or pan sausage—regular and spicy.

All varieties are ground from

fresh pork shoulder, squeezed into natural pork casings, then hung in a smoker for several hours. How many? Well, said K. L. and Howard, “That depends.” They go by the color, not by time since times are variable. “We look for that good purple color,” said Howard. When the sausage takes on a purple tinge, it’s ready.

Though spices are added for the hot and spicy, Groholski sausage has no other additives.


Hard at work, turning out the links.
