County receives approval for new criminal justice grant
Continued from Page 1A
The sheriff said the county’s
benefit from the program would
be for the personnel entering the
data and the person coordinating
the activity.
Stewart told commissioners
they are also asking for a second
grant concerning DWIs. He said
funds from the grant would pay
salaries and operating expense of
the vehicles. The county will be-
nefit mainly from the reduction of
DWI-related accidents, plus the
fines and court costs.
The sheriff said he felt the
county could not obtain the
second grant without the first.

idea, a decision was made to hold
a weekend of free entertainment
and education programs focusing
on POW IA issues. It will begin
with gates opening at the ballpark
at 11 a.m., followed by an
opening ceremony at noon with
Vietnam Veteran Marcus Leddy
performing his original brand of
country blues. Other entertain-
ment will include rock and roll ar-
tists Bert Ownen and the band Go
For Broke and a candlelight vigil
and bonfire in honor of POWs
and MIAs at 7:30 p.m.
Area veterans’ organizations
will be marching in the Fiestas
Patrias Parade at 10 a.m. in
downtown Houston on Saturday.
MacArthur High School’s Mac-
Jazz Band will kickoff the after-
noon entertainment at 12:30 p.m.
at DeLeon’s Ballpark.
Marcus Leddy, a California
based musician, will perform at
1:30 p.m. Leddy, who entertained
at the California Memorial, will be
performing some Vietnam-era
and original music. He will also be
performing at the breakfast at the
Double Tree hotel in Houston on
Friday morning, at the flag raising
deremony on the steps of Hous-
ton City Hall and at the opening
ceremony.

“That’s not going to happen
this year, because we’ve got the
key,” Johnson laughs. “What we
really need now is for the general
public to come out.”
Johnson who is a double am-
putee for the Vietnam experience
says that only one percent of
Americans went to Vietnam.
* “We’re a tight little family.” John-
son says. TAW wants the other
99 percent to come out and join
them in the healing process and
to let others know “It ain't over till
we’re all home.”
To reach DeLeon Ball park
take U.S. 59 north to the East
Mount Houston exit. Follow East
Mount Houston east to Forest Ac-
res Drive and head north on
Forest Acres Drive to DeLeon’s
Ballpark. For further information
call (713) 360-0080.
Commissioners took no action on
the request during the meeting.
Stewart also reported to com-
missioners the county was awar-
ded a criminal justice grant for the
county area drug task force. The
amount of the grant was $53,571.
He said the county received
$90,000 from this grant last year.
“I feel like this has been very
beneficial in our efforts to arrest
drug dealers in Liberty County,”
Stewart said. “We’ve arrested
probably over 100 and we’ve pro-
bably got another 40 or 50 that
we can arrest just about any time.
This is quite expensive. In the
Liberty operation, we spent
$26,000 just on that operation
alone.”
According to Stewart, the
county applied for a grant of
$70,000. He said Galveston
County was awarded a grant of
over $100,000 which reduced all
other allocations. Commissioners
voted to accept the criminal jus-
tice grant.
Assistant County Attorney Mike
Stafford reported to commis-
sioners on the county’s indigent
health care contract with the Un-
iversity of Texas Medical Branch
at John Sealy Hospital in Galves-
ton. Stafford said this contract is
the same as that negotiated last
year.
“I can report to you that it’s the
same contract at the same price
and same terms and conditions,”
Stafford said. “I’ve also talked to
Donna Burt (of the Liberty County
Indigent Health Care Program) to
see how it worked last year. She
reports that things worked very
smoothly. It’s a good contract. It’s
very beneficial to the county.”
Commissioners voted un-
animously to approve the cont-
ract.
Commissioners then con-
sidered awarding bids for the
county’s annual audit. Bids were
received from only two accoun-
ting firms. One was from Wiggins
and Smith in Liberty and Hereford
Lynch of Cleveland.
Precinct 4 Commissioner Bob
Martin suggested the county emp-
loy the Cleveland company be-
cause Wiggins and Smith “have
doing it so long they might be
over-familiar with it.” Precinct 2
Commissioner Lee Groce echoed
Martin’s suggestion. Martin then
made a motion the county employ
Hereford Lynch to conduct the
annual audit. Commissioners
voted unanimous approval of the
motion.
County Auditor Harold Seay
reported to commissioners the
county is now going over its bud-
geted amount on general fund re-
venue. He said they are about
$56,000 over with two more
months of fees and revenue
coming in. ^
County Treasurer Winn Skidr-
more told the panel all funds re-
ceived by the county in August
totaled $1,216,529.11. She said
general fund deposits were.
$608,423 and disbursements,
were $790,731, which resulted in
a fund balance of $1,329,667. In-
terest earned during August was,
$23,565.22, she said, and total in-
terest earned for the fiscal year is
$242,189.

and Liberty are approximately six
miles apart.
According to figures presented
by CVFD Chief Steve Wheeler,
the Cleveland firefighters make
35 percent of all fire calls in the
county. Wheeler's figures show
the Liberty Fire Department made
20 calls outside Liberty’s city
limits last year while the
Cleveland department made
more than 250 calls outside
Cleveland city limits. Liberty fire
equipment is not allowed to make
calls more than one mile outside
the city limits without permission,
according to reports.
“What it comes to,” said
Fireman Jerry Oliver, “is that we
are destroying our already old
equipment by going to these fires
outside of the city. We don’t want
to say no to those people out
there, but unless the county can
help pay for some of this equip-
ment we’re running to their fires,
we won’t have anything left to
protect Cleveland with.”
City Council agreed with the
firemen. Council woman Meta
Thomas said that while she
wouldn’t want anyone to be with-
out fire protection, “We can not
allow our equipment to be rurr
down to the point where the peo-

test and the Businessmen’s
Buddy Pickup Race.
“Area people who want to be in
the beard contest (enter clean
shaven) then later are judged the
most colorful, the ugliest, the best
looking, the scragliest.
“They have different
categories. It’s a fun contest. The
Beard Contest is judged October
14.
On October 18, 19, 20, and 21,
the Businessmen’s Buddy Pickup
Race will be held.
“This race is area businessmen
getting together in teams. One
person will ride a horse and the
other will stand on a barrel at the
other end of the arena. It’s a
timed event.
“When they start the clock, the
guy on the horse rides down to
the other end as fast as he can,
picks up the guy on the barrel,
and races back to the finish line.
“It sounds like a race but when
you have businessmen who
aren’t used to riding horses, it’s
mostly a rodeo. People fall off,
slide off, it’s more of a comical
type deal,” Rader said.
There will also be a quilt con-
test, horseshoe pitching contest,
barbecue contest, gospel singing
and a fiddling contest.
Those who win the horseshow,
the hay hauling, and the bar-
becue will represent the TVE at
the Houston Livestock Show-
The Forty-two Tournament
which fill the exposition hall, ac-
cording to Rader, will be held Oc-
tober 13.
On October 14 there will be a
baby parade anyone with children
kindergarten age or under can en-
ter, according to Rader.
“A lot bf people have floats and
(the baby parade) is as simple as
just — pulling little red wagons. If
the baby is little enough (mothers)
put a blanket in the wagon, kind
of decorate it up, and sit the baby
in a box and pull her through."
October 18 there is the day for
the Kiddie Trailride.
“This year one guy has a
wagon pulled by mules. They
have a bunch of wagons, go out
and get the kids, and then have a
trainride up to the rodeo grounds.
Kids of all ages can go and you
don’t have to have a horse,”
Rader said.
There is the Old Timers Cow-
boy Reunion on October 19.
“It’s people who’ve been invol-
ved in the events since the be-
ginning, or just a bunch of old
cowboys that get together (all old
cowboys are welcome).”
pie in the city are not protected.”
Chief Wheeler brought a map
showing the area encompassed
by distances from one to five
miles out from the center of town.
In effect, the resolution states
the county has 30 days to come
forward with needed funds, or
present the city with an accepta-
ble plan to do so, otherwise fire-
fighting and hazardous-material
equipment and personnel from
the city will not travel outside a
five-mile range from the center of
Cleveland. Firefighters asked for,
and received, an exception to the
rule which will allow the rescue
equipment to go outside the limit.

calf was taken from Charlie Mor-
gan’s stockyard on U.S. Highway
59 south of the city, authorities
report, and later evidence led
lawmen to believe a second calf
was removed from the stockyard
and a third reportedly shot once
in the head but left at the location.
“An intensive investigation by
(the sheriff’s department) led to
some persons who supplied
valuable information,” according
to LCSO Capt. Robert Dunn. As-
sisting Dunn and others from the
sheriff’s department were
Cleveland Police Department and
Texas Cattlemen’s Association
Ranger Larry Hryhorchuk. Detec-
tives with the sheriff’s office are
believed to have taken
statements from more than 10
persons concerning the case.
Arrested, according to the
sheriff’s office, were: Lumis Bris-
ter, 19; Ronnie Reese, 19; Mike
Thomas, 19; Chris Huffman, 17;
and J.D. Barnes, 25. Sheriff
Stewart said bond on each of the
individuals was set at $50,000.
Authorities revealed they expect
to make more arrests concerning
the case.
In a second, unrelated case,
sheriff’s deputies report using
bloodhounds to track two of three
persons arrested with the assis-
tance of Montgomery County
Sheriff’s Office deputies. The ar-
rests came Tuesday as deputies
acted on warrants issued by '
tice of the Peace Marvin Powell.^T

According to LCSO Capt. Dun.
the Stuard family (father, motl
and son) were evicted from
dwelling several months ago but1
reportedly returned to the housb-
at some later time.
Following an investigation, law'
officers located the suspects
staying in Montgomery County off
S.H. 105 not far past the Santa
Fe Railroad overpass approx-
imately six miles west of
Cleveland, according to Dunn.
The sheriff’s captain said he, De-
puty Leroy Hanel and Deputy Earl
McFarland, assisted by two Montt^
gomery County deputies, arrives^
at the location Tuesday in an ef-
fort ta serve warrants issued by
Judge Powell.
In addition to the Liber^^
County charges, Montgomery
County filed charges of evading
arrest on the two men and hind-
ering apprehension on the
woman, Dunn said.
