Correlations in rapidity space are presented for identified ${\pi }^{\pm }$ and $K^{\pm }$ in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation at 29-GeV c.m. energy. Short-range $\mathrm{KK}$ correlations indicate local flavor compensation in the hadronization process. Long-range $\mathrm{KK}$ and $\pi \pi$ correlations prove that the initial partons carry flavor. In addition, we observe significant $K\pi$ correlations as a result of heavy-quark decays.
