Page 2. ILLUSTRATED PAPERBOY'. Wednesday. February 18. 1998
This is a first in a series
ofarticles concerning gangs and
racial problems in the Cleve-
land area. 1 urge everyone to
read these articles over the next
lew weeks. It is not the inten-
tion of these articles to scare
anyone but rather to bring to
you readers needed information,
not rumors.
In the past years, there
j have been scattered racial and
gang related problems in the
Cleveland School District. Re-
cently. the problem has been
increasing resulting in two
lights, particularly in the Cleve-
land Junior High School. A num-
ber of the students involved in
these fights have been removed
from school and placed in the
Hardin-Chambers Guidance
Center program in Liberty.
The difference between
the.se incidents and those in the
past is that the gang colors, signs,
emblems, racial slurs, threats
arid tagging has increased con-
siderably on campus. Teachers
have intervened in an attempt to
st$>p the fights.
Citizens, parents, school
officials, and police, concerned
iflout the problems of the past
ifljve become even more alarmed
a{‘ the increasing problem,
pursday afternoon, February
i. Cleveland Police Detective
I pm Yates. Sergeant Steve
Sumner. Sr.. Commander of the
Vjjbntgomery County Gang Task
Fcflrce. and Cleveland Junior
1 ligh Principal Richard Kreiner
irj|gt with male junior high stu-
dents in the school auditorium
Around Town - Cleveland on the Grow
to discuss the problem in an
effort to put a stop to it now
before it gets any worse.
Kreiner told the students
that he was concerned about the
growing problem and said that
the gang and racial problems
would not be tolerated on the
Cleveland Junior High campus,
no matter what the color of the
students involved. Kreiner ac-
knowledged to the students that
the majority of those in the au-
dience were not involved and
he praised them while urging
them to do everything possible
to help school officials to put a
stop to the problem.
In answer to one
student's question, Kreiner em-
phasized that the school cam-
pus was safe for students and
would remain so. He added that
the school was there for the
education of the students and
that no one was going to inter-
rupt that process.
Officer Yates and
Sumner let the students know,
in no uncertain terms, that the
Police Department was also
concerned about the growing
problem, not only in the school
but also in the community and
j ust what would happen to those
involved should the problem
escalate.
Concerned parents and
citizens have been on campus
volunteering time to assist the
teachers and administrators and
indications that security is also
being increased throughout the
town and surrounding area.
There has been an in-
crease in gang activity in the
Cleveland area within the last
year. Officer Yates has been
working closely with the
Montgomery County Gang
Task Force and in this meet-
ing, the officers told the stu-
dents that the Cleveland Po
lice Department and the Mont-
gomery County Gang Task
Force are prepared to work
together to address the situa-
tion as needed.
Junior High School
Officials held a meeting ear-
lier in the week with parents
to discuss the situation and
ask that the parents take a more
active role in helping put a
stop to the problem before it
gets out of control.
There have been a lot
of rumors flying around the
campuses and around town.
Many times rumors can cause
more problems than the truth.
Parents and students are con-
cerned about what is happen-
ing on their campuses. Some
are scared. I have been on the
junior high campus in recent
days as an observer and re-
porter and I was invited to
attend the meeting with the
students.
Also, I have attended
two educational programs in
the past year related to gangs
and gang activity.
In next week's column,
I'll look into the Cleveland
gang problem. I'll also dis-
cuss what can be done to pos-
sibly put a stop, or at least
slow down the growth of the
gang and racial problems.
