Rep. Tammy Rowan, says an official language would not only save taxpayers money but bring various cultures together. Her bill was heard last month by a legislative committee, which will decide next month whether to officially endorse it. Regardless, Rowan is free to introduce the measure during the 1998 Legislature, which begins in January.

Its a model I wish others would follow, he said. I As part of the community-oriente- d policing program that Lay-to- n uses, Bowker is in a three-yea- r specialized position, focusing on crime prevention in problem areas. The idea is to get to know areas and people better, informing them of crime prevention and helping them to keep an eye out for themselves. ; As for the community council and mobile watch patrol, Bowker said, its a great way to clean up Dodge and try to keep Dodge clean. He said that if ev- eryone embraced it, Layton would be far better off. With a significant drop in vandalism and pranking, the impact of Neighborhood Watch has been positive. The area is a safer and friendlier place to live in, Drake said. Sponsoring the training for the Community Emergency Response Team, the council will be starting their fourth training session on Sept. 10, which runs for seven weeks. The objective of CERT is to teach residents how to handle a chaotic situation when police officers and firefighters become overloaded during a disaster. With about 50 people now trained, their goal is to have at least one trained per- son on every block. The benefits of the training classes are twofold because not only are residents trained, its also a means of getting neighbors together. We have been put in arenas that have allowed us to develop relationships that would not normally cross our paths, Drake said. The Community Council also sponsored a blood drive, and a bike safety rodeo where they sold helmets for $5. The council plans on sponsoring a gang awareness conference, a drug and alcohol seminar and a strengthening families seminar. We have a lot of good resources right in our neighbor hood, making it possible for us to sponsor an event and then hold it at our school, Hyde said. Council members include Steven Mendez, Rob Bramhall, Zimmerman, Bob Weaver, Diana Arnold, Sallee Drake, Brad Drake, Brian Hurst, Tammy Todd, Kathleen Anderson, Gary Cook, Pam Open-shaScott Quinney, Holly Wellard, and Kathy Hyde.

As a volunteer for the Parent Patrol at Sunset Junior High School, Hardy monitors the halls and other areas of the school to ensure students are in class. At first Tamika was a little apprehensive about having her dad hang out at school, but then kids started coming up to her, telling her that they had met her father and he was cool. In an atmosphere that is the students territory. Hardy said its fun watching the kids interact with each other. No matter what your kids tell you is going on, when youre there watching you get an extra point of view, he said. Their fathers involvement has a huge impact on his daughters, Kathy said. Knowing that they can depend on him gives them a lot of personal reinforcement. Sometimes I feel low on the totem pole, Kathy said. But seeing the end result is worth it and he always makes up for it to me.
