City airport under Voodoo’s spell
By LINDA GORDON
Advocate Reporter
CLEVELAND — In October
1988, the Cleveland Veterans of
Foreign Wars Post 1839 held an
air show to raise money to obtain
a retired aircraft to put on display.
Today, an F-101 Voodoo figh-
ter/interceptor sits dismantled on
two semi-trailers parked at the
Cleveland Municipal Airport.
“We had about 12 people from
Cleveland go to Wichita Falls,
(Texas), and spend two to four
days to take the plane apart and
bring it back,” explained Carl
Carden, Assistant Chairman of
VFW.
According to Carden, two local
trucking companies donated the
use of two tractor-trailers for
hauling the plane. All of those in-
volved donated their time to the
project.
The approximate 600-mile
journey did not go as smoothly as
planned. The trucks were permit-
ted to move only in the daytime.
The route was limited to back
roads and Farm to Market roads.

one on U.S. Highway 59 in Sheph-

Training for Outreach
By LINDA GORDON
Advocate Reporter
CLEVELAND — Cleveland
area residents, and anyone in-
terested, may attend the Family
Outreach Training Program for
May, given through the Texas
Department of Human Services.
According to Kelly Kelley, pre-
sident of Family Outreach, the
May training program “is to train
volunteers to be volunteers.”
May 5 is the first day of the
three-day series. From 8 a.m.
through to 5 p.m. there will be a
welcome to volunteers, Dynamics
of Children’s Protective Services,
Agency Brown Bag Luncheon, Ef-
fective Client/Volunteer Relations-
hips, Communication Skills, and
Wrap Up and Closing.
“We’re required to have so
many hours of training to be
volunteers,” Kelley said. She ad-
ded, 32 hours of training would
meet the requirement.
While there is a required num-
ber of hours of training needed to
become volunteers, there is no
set number of hours a volunteer
is requested to work.
“They (volunteers) can work
whatever hours they want to
work,” Kelley said. She added the
agency does ask volunteers for at
least two hours per week.
May 12, the second day of the
training program, will offer Family
Outreach Introduction, Ice
Breaker for New Volunteer,
Stressline, Lunch (Stressline
Volunteers), and Casework
(Casework Volunteers.)
Kelley explained Stressline.
“It’s where anyone in the com-
munity can call in and ask for
help.” According to Kelley, Family
Outreach covers the Cleveland
and Tarkington areas only.
“We have four active
(Cleveland) cases right now.
Then we have about 30 calls a
month, I’d say.” She adds calls
are annonymous.
May 19, the third day of the
program, consists of Child De-
velopment & Alternatives to
Physical Discipline, Lunch Paren-
ting classes, Child Care, WHO,

Attempted murder charges
filed after incident at school
By GLEN DODSON
Advocate Reporter
CLEVELAND - Kevin Demond Harrison, an 18-
year-old student at Cleveland High School, was ar-
rested Wednesday shortly before noon following an
alleged fight on the school campus in which another
Cleveland High student, Kevin Stanford, 18,
seriously injured, according to authorities.
Cleveland Police Chief Rick Foxworth said, “The
two boys got into an argument which eventually led
to a fight. It was during the fight that Harrison
allegedly hit Stanford in the head with a baseball
bat.”
Stanford was transported to Charter Regional
Medical Center and later transferred by Life Flight to
Hermann Hospital in Houston. Wednesday
afternoon, a spokesman at Hermann Hospital said,
1 “Stanford was in the emergency room with a head
; wound but was in stable condition.”
Cleveland Police first charged Harrison with
Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon. Later,
Wednesday afternoon, upon recommendation of
Assistant District Attorney Steve Green in Liberty, the
charge was changed to attempted murder. Bond had
not been set as of late Wednesday.
The incident was investigated by Detective Dolly
Dill and Officer Tom Yates.
Police Chief Foxworth also reported that Tuesday,
David Richard Bond, 31 from Porter, was arrested on
a forgery charge. His bond was set at $8,000. The
investigation of this case was handled by Capt.
Henry Patterson.
Also Tuesday, Fred Kennedy Chick, 20 of
Shepherd, was arrested and charged with
possession of marijuana following a routine traffic
stop. His bond was set at $5,000. Cleveland officer
Gary Parks had the Police Department's newly-
acquired drug dog in the patrol car at the time,
Foxworth said.
The dog reacted to the possibility of drugs in the
car according to authorities. This reportedly led to
“possible cause” search of the car where the
marijuana was allegedly discovered, Foxworth said.
Also working this arrest and investigation with
officer Parks was Assistant Police Chief Dan Cargill.
Chief Foxworth said “This is just the first use of
the newly acquired drug dog and that the officers
would be using the dog in more traffic stops.”

Double duty for court
By GLEN DODSON
Advocate Reporter
LIBERTY - The Liberty County
ommissioners Court met Monday
morning in what Pet. 3 Commis-
sioner Melvin Hunt described as
“one of the shortest meetings held
in some time.”
On the agenda, the Hull-Daisetta
Ambulance Service asked Commis-
sioners to appoint a board to over-
see their operation. Instead, Com-
missioners acted on motion and
voted members of th ■ court to the
board overseeing all ambulance
services in the county.
Pet. 2 Commissioner Lee Groce
said “the request was made be-
cause the Hull-Daisetta Ambulance
Service is part volunteer and part
paid and they wanted someone to
oversee the funding of the service.”
“Since the ambulance service is
subject to a monthly audit and they
have to come to the Commissioners
each month for review of their fi-
narlcial operation, the Commission-
ers Court felt there was no need for
an independent overseer. Instead
the Commissioners could do the
job.”
When asked how the Commis-
sioners could oversee the operation
of all ambulance services in the
county, Groce said, “This was pos-
sible because all services, including
Cleveland, receive money from the
county each year.”
In other action by Commission-
ers Court, a Committee for the
Recommendation of Job
Classification and Salary Ranges
for county employees was named.
Members of that committee are
McClelland, Liberty County Tax As-
sessor-Collector; Lee Groce, Com-
missioner Pet. 2; Harold Seay, au-
ditor; Joy McManus, district clerk;
Donna Burt, Administrator of Indi-
gent Health Care; and Kathryn Mar-
tin of the Liberty County Sheriffs
Department.
Commissioner Groce said re-
garding the formation of this com-
mittee that it's purpose would be
“to establish classification for all
employees of the county as well as
to establish a pay schedule based
on the job classifications.”
The committee's first meeting is
scheduled for Thursday morning in
Liberty. Commissioner Groce said
the committee “will probably meet at
least once a month for the next few
months.”
