YORK COUNTY, SC (WBTV) - A little boy who inspired his community in York County has passed away.

The family of Gavin Jones asked people to send cards to their 9-year old.  He had an inoperable brain tumor.  They were hoping to break the Guinness World Record for receiving the most cards. 

Word spread across York County in a very grass roots way.  Community groups got in on the act.  Neighbors and family and friends posted things online and helped spread the word.

Thousands of people responded by sending a card in the mail.  WBTV's newsroom sent one as well.

Gavin died over the weekend.  Some numbers on Facebook today put the number of cards he received at 15,000.  Not a record, but certainly an outpouring of support by all accounts.

Fort Mill, SC- The Fort Mill Town Council approved a proposed wholesale water purchase agreement with the City of Rock Hill during a special called meeting Monday night.

This agreement is a result of more than two years of negotiations between the Town of Fort Mill and the City of Rock Hill. Upon execution of the agreement, the Town of Fort Mill will cease efforts to construct its own water treatment plant on the Catawba River and will continue purchasing water from the City of Rock Hill as a wholesale customer. 

The new agreement will replace an existing agreement between the two municipalities which was set to expire in 2014. The new water purchase agreement will have a minimum term of at least 30 years.

FORT MILL, SC (WBTV) - In Fort Mill they have Strawberry Bread, Strawberry Slushies and yes a strawberry shaped tilt awhirl, all ready for this weekend's South Carolina Strawberry Festival.

While everyone is enjoying all the berry goodness, Ron Edwards at Springs Farm in Fort Mill is trying to protect the festival's name sake from the heat.

"We've had some crazy weather as you well know," said Edwards.

Just two weeks ago Edwards at had to cover his berries to protect them from a late season frost.

Luckily the plants endured the cold temperatures, but now they have to survive the other end of the temperature spectrum.

"I'm hoping that this is just a three day spell and it'll cool back off," said Edwards.

Edwards says Strawberry plants don't like high temperatures above 90, for several days in a row.

To beat the heat, Edwards has a plan he's used for years.
