Indecent Exposures at Local Businesses
On Thursday, March 27, 2008 there were three incidents involving what
we believe to be the same suspect that exposed himself  in or around local businesses. The suspect stood outside the front windows of two businesses and waited for female employees to see him. He dropped his jeans to his knees/ankles and fully exposed himself. In another incident he approached two female employees as they left through the back door of the business and asked them “How are you doing?” and “What
are you doing tonight?”  These incidents occurred between 8:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. The suspect changed from jeans to burnt orange sweatpants between two of the incidents. The incidents occurred on Mainstreet, Lincoln and Parker Road at small businesses.

Suspect:
White mail, age 18-30, height 5′8-6′0, normal build, short brown hair,
scruffy goatee, long sleeved gray, white or tan shirt, blue jeans or
burnt orange sweatpants.

Increased patrols will be conducted in areas identified as likely
target areas by the Parker Police Department. However, individual businesses
should advise their employees of the situation and suspect
description. If you witness an indecent exposure event please call 911
immediately.

Coaches, Hello, My name is John Hart and I am one of the assistant coaches for the Cyclones baseball organization out of Parker, for 10 U. We are a new team this year with players from Castle Rock, Parker, Franktown, Lone Tree, and Aurora. Primarily comprised of 9 yr olds playing up and early 10 yr olds. Most of the boys have come from competitive level AYL teams, including my son. We are playing AYL 10U and tournaments, I am contacting coaches for two reasons, one would be to extend the offer of scrimmages if any teams would be interested (obviously great practice and learning for the boys), and two is to see if anyone(coaches) know of any 9-10 yr olds that need a team, we need 1 ball player to round out our roster, as a couple of our boys are not available to play Sundays due to religious preferences. So we would be shorter on Sundays for tournaments, but would entertain a kid playing just league, just tournaments or tournaments and league. So if you would like to scrimmage or would know of any kids needing a team, feel free to call me or have them call me direct on my cell @ 303-434-5711 or You can also reach Warren Jablonski @303-435-1983. I look forward to meeting you all. We wish you all a wonderful season and hope to see you out on the ball fields.

Best regards !!! Take care!

John

Spring into fitness at Parker Recreation

Warm weather is right around the corner, and people’s attention is  turning toward favorite outdoor activities including cycling and golf. Parker Recreation is offering several programs during the month of March that will help prepare you for the upcoming seasons.

Parker Recreation’s Two Hour Cycling Challenge got such a positive response for February that the Fitness Division scheduled three additional dates for March. During this two hour spinning class your instructor will take you on a journey simulating a ride through Colorado’s scenic high country. Riders should come early to set-up and be ready to ride the full two hours. Bring extra water and snacks, plus a towel or two!  You may also want to bring an extra jersey.

Two Hour Cyling Challenges are scheduled on Sunday, March 2, Sunday, March 9 and Saturday, March 15 from 10:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. at the Parker Recreation Center. Riders may sign up in advance by calling 303.841.4500 or by stopping at the front desk. These rides are included in your membership or daily admission fee.

For golfers, core strength and balance are the keys to a controlled, powerful, consistent swing. Parker Recreation is offering a Core Strength for Golfers class March 3 to 24. The class meets Mondays for four weeks from 4:45 to 5:45 p.m. at the Parker Recreation Center. Instructors Tim Kilduff and Becky Baron will use resistance training, fitballs and Pilates techniques to build your core. Cost for this course is $44 for Parker residents, $49 for non-residents. Participants may register online at www.ParkerRec.com. Click the online registration button and search with keyword golf.

For youth who want to get in peak performance condition for spring or summer sports, or who just want to get in better shape, Parker Recreation has two sessions of Youth Sports Conditioning starting the first week of March. Kids ten to 12 years old will work with personal trainers twice per week for six weeks to improve their speed, agility, core strength, balance and flexibility. Sessions are from 4:30 to 5:15 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, or on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Cost for Youth
Sports Conditioning is $40 for Parker Residents, $45 for non-residents. Register online at www.ParkerRec.com, using youth sports conditioning in your keyword search.

Totally informal, impromptu, and spontaneous!

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one’s life.
Crucial

Because of recent abductions in daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do

in an emergency situation…

This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, everyone you know.

After reading these 9 crucial tips, forward them to someone you care about.

It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :

The elbow is the strongest point on your body.
If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,

DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.

Toss it away from you….

chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse.

RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy.

The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will.
This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS!)

The predator will be watching you, and this
is the perfect opportunity for him to get in
on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go.

AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF,

repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you.

If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it . As soon as the car crashes bail out and run.

It is better than having them find your body
in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor,and in the back seat

B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their victims
by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

C.) Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side.. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back
into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs.
(Stairwells are horrible places to be alone
and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN!

The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then,
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP
It may get you raped, or killed.

Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played
on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often
asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard
a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her “Whatever you do, DO NOT
open the door.”

The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over.

The policeman said, “We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.”

He told her that they think a serial killer
has a baby’s cry recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby’s cries outside their doors when they’re home alone at night

Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door
for a crying baby —-
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America ’s Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana

I’d like you to forward this to all the women you know.

It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle.

I was going to send this to the ladies only,
but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need
to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better to be safe than sorry..

Everyone should take 5 minute to read this. It may save your life or love one’s life.
