Census population figures are final
Cleveland Advocate
CLEVELAND - Population
totals, as reflected by the final
results of the 1990 U.S. census,
aren't quite what local officials
hoped for although some figures
did increase.
Authorities with Liberty
County and most of its major
cities still do not agree with the
population count by the United
States Department of Com-
merce's Bureau of the Census,
but they do not plan to file law
suits to overturn the totals as
released last week.
Although the chief gain from
a higher census count would be
a large quantity of federal and
state funds, governmental rep-
resentation at the state and fed-
eral level is also at stake.
County officials and city man-
agement objected to the pre-
liminary census figures which
showed the county with a 10.73
increase and Cleveland with a
17.65 increase. After some re-
counting, both entities were
awarded an increase in the final
figures.
Cleveland still boasted the
largest population gain of any
major city in the county during
the past 10 years. The prelimi-
nary count placed the city with a

Burglary suspect arrested
CLEVELAND - Local citizens
are reminded to attend this
weekend's “Storm Rally” in sup-
port of the American troops in
the Middle East.
The Saturday afternoon
event has already peaked the
interest of local individuals,
many with friends and loved
ones participating in the Persian
Gulf conflict. Cleveland Police
Chief Rick Foxworth will serve
as master of ceremonies at the
rally.
Among the scheduled per-
formances will be a stirring
trumpet rendition of the Star
Spangled Banner and special
patriotic music sung by Bro. Tim
Holder of the First Baptist
Church. Speakers are to include
Ronnie McWaters, president of
the Greater Cleveland Chamber
of Commerce; Dorothy Carlton,
wife of City Manager Gene
Carlton; and Reuben Johnson,
disabled Vietnam Veteran.
A special, keynote speaker is
scheduled as well as possible
guest speakers.
The evening will be high-
lighted with a “light of hope” as
those in attendance light the
candles or turn on flashlights
brought to the event.
Civic and political leaders are
hoping everyone in the Greater
Cleveland Area will band to-
gether to show support for the
American military personnel
taking part in Operation Desert
Storm. It is also requested sup-
porters bring American flags.
The candle-light rally, sched-
uled for 6 p.m. Feb. 2, is to be
held at the Veterans' Memorial
Park next to Austin Memorial Li-
brary on Hanson Street.
See pages 6 and 7 in “A”
Section of today's Cleveland
Advocate for more information
on Operation Desert Storm.
CLEVELAND - Following a
Tuesday night break-in at
Northside Intermediate School,
police arrested a local man, ac-
cording to authorities.
Cleveland Police Chief Rick
Foxworth reported that the sus-
pects are alleged to have bro-
ken into the school and caused
damage in several rooms. They
are reported to have vandalized
a soft-drink machine, broken a
window in the cafeteria, dam-
aged the doors to several class-
rooms and written graffiti on
walls in several rooms, the chief
said.
Police arrested Todd Wayne
Coaliron, 18, of Cleveland.
According to Foxworth, police
also wanted to question Coal-
iron in connection with 30 bur-
glaries in Cleveland, including
Southside Elementary, Cleve-
land Junior High, Cessna Mo-
tors, Mid-City Motors, Puckett
Enterprises and Jack and Jill's
Restaurant.
In connection with the Mid-
City Motors burglary, he was
also wanted for unauthorized
use of a motor vehicle, Fox-
worth said. As of Wednesday
evening, Coaliron had been ar-
raigned for that charge and
bond set at $8,000. Charges are
still pending in the other bur-
glaries.

Drug arrests made
By JERREL FERGUSON
Advocate Reporter_
CLEVELAND - In one of two
unrelated cases, a routine traffic
stop by a Cleveland police offi-
cer this week resulted in more
than a speeding ticket, authori-
ties report.
According to Cleveland As-
sistant Police Chief Dan Cargill,
on Jan. 27 officer Mike Nettles
was working radar on the U.S.
Highway 59 bypass. Approxi-
mately 2 p.m., Cargill said, Net-
tles stopped a vehicle, with two
male occupants, for speeding
and other traffic violations.
After placing the two under
arrest, the assistant chief said,
Nettles searched the pair. In his
search, the officer is alleged to
have found one man to be in
possession of 86 grams of what
is believed to be powdered co-
caine, Cargill said. According to
Cargill, the other man was al-
leged to have possessed what
is thought to be a pipe for
smoking “crack” cocaine.
Arrested were Charles Ray
Williams, 43, and Franklin De-
lano Roberts, 46, both of Lo-
gansport, La. Williams was ar-
raigned by Municipal Judge
W.N. Taff and charged with ag-
gravated possession of cocaine.
Bond was set at $20,000. Ac-
cording to Cargill, Roberts is re-
ported to have pled guilty to
possession of drug parapherna-
lia and assessed a fine.
Williams was transferred to the
Liberty County jail Wednesday
evening.
In an unrelated case, police
arrested Danny Ray Ellis, 29, of
Cleveland Jan. 26, 1:34 a.m.
According to Police Chief Rick
Foxworth, Ellis is one of 19 per-
sons named in warrants issued
by Judge Taff Jan. 4. The arrest
of 14 suspects was reported in
the Jan. 8 edition of the Eastex
New-Shopper.
Ellis was arraigned by Taff
and charged with two counts of
delivery of cocaine. Bond was
set at $30,000 on each charge.

Attorney
resigns
CLEVELAND — Dayton at-
torney Mike Fielder last week
resigned from the Liberty
County Children’s Protective
Service Board, ending nine
years of service to that panel.
Board members, meeting at
Cleveland’s Charles O. Austin
Memorial Library, accepted
Fielder’s letter of resignation
with regret, according to Board
Chairman J. Brooks Hiller of
Dayton. Fielder’s term would
have expired in June.
Fielder’s letter of resignation
cited increasing business,
family and personal obligations
that led him to conclude that he
should resign from his seat and
as treasurer for the board. Hiller
said Fielder’s departure from
the board was a tremendous
loss for the panel and the or-
ganization.
Board Secretary Rita Greene
of Liberty was elected as the
new treasurer.
Deborah Wright of Cleveland
serves as board vice chairman.
Other directors are: Paula Al-
ders, Liberty; Ann Green, Har-
din; Dana Janczak, Cleveland;
Kathryn Mace, Dayton; Roy Saf-
fel, Liberty; Barbara Toler,
Cleveland; and Barbara Van-
Deventer, Liberty.
