MEMORIAL CHANGE OF DATE

The short memorial and dedication for Renald Ferrevecchio originally scheduled to take place after this Saturday's (March 3), It's My Park Day has been rescheduled. The new date is Saturday, March 10th at 1 pm (Brentwood Park). This change is due to the Ferrevecchio family's desire to attend the ceremony.

As mentioned before, we'll be meeting just under the new, beautiful Purple Martin Birdhouse. The ceremony will be short and sweet; please come out and show some neighborly love.

The route will be the same as it was last year, which means that Brentwood will be right in the heart of the action. We are located at approximately the 20 mile mark of the course. This is a great opportunity for our community to come out and cheer on the participants as they come closer to reaching their individual goals. It is also an occassion for traffic and access issues.

BOLO from APD


"Here is the public BOLO (be on the lookout), that has previously been sent out in a press release, on an indecent exposure that occurred on Christmas Day, Dec 25th, in the same area as the New Year's Eve Attack. I hope this BOLO is seen everywhere and passed around all the neighborhood sites that we can get it to. It includes a specific description of the exposure suspects shirt worn on Christmas day. Someone out there knows this guy and we need to get to that person. This is a case that the public will absolutely be needed to help us solve it.

I think if someone knows this guy, they need to see this bolo with THIS SPECIFIC INFORMATION. Thanks for any help can give in getting this out, I hope to see it EVERYWHERE. Thanks very much for the help!!!!" --- APD Lt. Eveleth
