Around Town...Cleveland
w on the Grow
Have you noticed that
folks have a different kind of
attitude around Cleveland as of
late? There was a clean up and
fix up Saturday campaign at the
Cleveland Schools, where over
125 parents, students and teach-
ers volunteered time picking up
trash and sprucing up the cam-
puses.
And if you were out
around town Saturday, Novem-
ber 7, you noticed a bunch of
folks working at cleaning up
garbage, weeds and trash along
Washington Street. This group
of approximately 140 or more
were from local churches. They,
too, are concerned about the
image of Cleveland, especially
that along Washington Street
because of the number of vehi-
cles traveling that route daily.
Their concern is not lim-
ited only to trash and the like but
also the run down vacant build-
ings along the route as well as
other substandard and hazard-
ous buildings.
It's great to see this kind
of volunteerisrti and pride being
displayed with actions instead
of just talk. And this is not the
end of their work. The next tar-
geted street is highway 321 or
Houston Street from Washing-
ton Street intersection on out to
the high school and the city lim-
its.
These people are asking
that more of our town's people
jump into the campaign and do
everything possible to helpclean
up the town and keep it that way.
Don't throw your fast food wrap-
pers and drink cups out of cars.
Don't throw bottles or other trash
out on the streets and parking
lots. Rather, take it to a nearby
trash container (there are many
around town) or take it home
with you and dispose of it prop-
erly. They are asking property
owners to get out and mow your
property, trim back limbs, pick
up unsightly garbage and trash
and if you have an old vacant,
run down building, why nottear
it down. Who knows, there may
be someone passing through
Cleveland that might want to
buy some property if it looks
enticing and clean.
A group of 60 or more
citizens attended the Novem-
ber meeting of the Cleveland
City Council to advise that they
were here to help the City clean
up and also asking that the City
Ordinances regarding such
things as abandoned junk cars,
vacant lots grown up with
weeds, old run down buildings
and the like, be enforced.
Additionally, guide-
lines concerning the removal of
tree limbs, leaves, brush, and
other debris not categorized as
household garbage, will be put
into effect beginning January 1,
1999. (See related story else-
where in the Paperboy).
Meanwhile the City has
undertaken the task of remov-
ing the many different signs
from utility poles while at the
same time asking individuals
and businesses not to place any
more signs on these poles as
they will be removed by city
and state officials. Yet, some
garage sale signs continue to be
placed around town each week
due, possibly because some
folks haven't gotten the mes-
sage yet. Also, as some individ-
uals comply with not placing
signs on the poles, there is an
increase in the garage and yard
sales signs on stakes, being
placed along street right-of-
ways. These too are illegal and
citizens are asked not to place
these signs on city and state
streets and highways.
The previous political
season brought on an outbreak
of many political signs, but most
of these were placed on private
property, which is not covered
by City Ordinances. A few were
placed on public property but
many of these were removed by
the city and state.
I think what we need is
a centrally located bulletin board
where folks can go and post
information about garage and
yard sales. Then those persons
interested in obtaining informa-
tion on such sales would know
to go to that location and read
the latest notices.
Another attitude change
I have noticed is the turn out for
fund raisers. The recent MHMR
Fish Fry, the Eastern Star Tur-
key and Dressing Dinner, and
the Soup Luncheon at the First
United Methodist Church were
well attended.
Another positive item
in Cleveland started from a
meeting of four or five local
ministers and some youth lead-
ers which has grown a new be-
ginning of the Cleveland Min-
isterial Alliance. They meet
monthly for breakfast and a pro-
gram by some special speaker.
The members of the alliance
will be working on various pro-
grams and community needs
throughout the year in an effort
to bring more unity to Cleve-
land. Additionally, the Ministe-
rial Alliance is attempting to
reach every minister in the area
to get them involved in their
work.
Yes...things are looking
up in Cleveland. Let's all pitch
in and do our part in making
Cleveland a great place to live
and work.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE - Members from several area churches were cleaning'
up the trash and generally ‘sprucing up’ along Washington in downtown Cleveland!
on Saturday in an effort to improve the image of Cleveland. More clean-up days are
planned at a later date. If you want to be involved, contact the pastor at your local
church to see if your congregation is involved in this worthwhile project.
