Cleveland youth wins
national celebrity search
Gregg Jeffcoat of Cleveland has just become one of two new faces for
Twenty X, a Wrangler jean product that is taking the teenage world
by storm. Gregg was selected from 200 young hopefuls in the second
annual nationwide Twenty X Celebrity Search at the National High School
Finals Rodeo in Farmington, NM - and in the finals competition held
there July 22, he was chosen as the male "new face". Kylie
Rabalais of Tioga, LA, was deemed the female Celebrity Search winner.
According to an official press release on the Celebrity Search event,
Jeffcoat's life may "change dramatically", as he will have
the opportunity to be featured in everything from Twenty X ads and
product hang tags to the new Twenty X-sponsored TV reality show, "Rodeo
High". The show, aired only on The Outdoor Channel on Mondays
and Wednesdays, features rodeo action filmed at National High School
Rodeo Association (NHSRA) competitions. See next week's issue of the
Liberty County News for the full story.

government, history, infrastructure, education, quality of life issues,

Designed not only to educate, but to attract new businesses to the
area, the site includes incentives and information developed and presented
by the Economic Development Corporation of Cleveland. The site is
worth a visit - check it out at www.clevelandtexas.com.
Friends of Downtown Cleveland to host
Pro-Cleveland Rally
Next Tuesday evening, July 29, at 6 p.m. at Austin Memorial Library,
the Friends of Downtown Cleveland Committee is hosting a public forum
to address issues such as Cleveland's quality of life, structured
planning, and the economic advantages of zoning. The Committee will
present a Zoning Proposal to the public, asking for community input
on what residents would like to see happen in various areas of town
for future land use and economic development while protecting Cleveland's
history, identity, and residencies. The controversial subject of manufactured
housing is expected to be addressed, but other issues will include
new construction; future housing developments; and what is required
to attract new businesses, restaurants, and retail outlets to Cleveland.
"We want the public's ideas and opinions," says Mike Heilers,
committee member. "When we make a formal presentation to city
government officials, we want it to reflect the community's thoughts,
not just those of a few people."
