CENTRAL From Page 1-A Members of the task force * Tuesday night talked about ways to get parents involved and prepared conflict resolutions which they hope can'’get to the root of teen problems. "If guns are out there, we want to stop them before a tragedy oc- curs,” said Jean Thrift, who is co- ordinating the program with volun- teers representing a broad segment of the community. "Although the task force is fo- cusing on guns, we hope that kids will use the stickers we are dis- tributing at the schools and use the Crimestoppers hot line," she said. "Kids are afraid to report their friends because they fear retalia- tion," said Thrift. "The hot line is one way they can do it without fear." CITY From Page 1-A said that the city must get its re- serves back up and is water/sewer fund stand on its own.

This is the first year of imple- mentation of the school based ac- countability program. School im- provement plans are ongoing at each school.
