Be Careful with Fireworks in Parker!
Summer is finally here and the 4th of July is just around the corner! With the extremely high fire danger this year, the Town of Parker would like to educate residents about the hazard of fireworks and remind the public that most fireworks are illegal in the Town limits. “Safe and sane” fireworks are permissible on private property. ALL fireworks, however, are prohibited on public property (including the street) and vacant land.
“Safe and Sane” Fireworks include:
• Fountains
• Wheels
• Spinners
• Illuminating Torches
• Dipped Sticks
• Sparklers
• Snakes and Glow Worms
If you plan to set off fireworks outside the Town limits, please keep fire danger in mind and take the following safety precautions:
• Avoid fireworks that are leaking powder, appear to be old or show any signs of mishandling as they may fire unpredictably.
• Avoid fireworks that appear to have been wet and then dried.
• Keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children.
• Never leave young children alone with an open flame.
The Parker Police Department will be patrolling the Parker area looking for illegal fireworks usage. Fines of up to $600 may be given for each offense.
For more information on fireworks regulations, please call the Parker Police Department at 303.841.9800. We appreciate your help with keeping Parker safe!
Downtown Parker Library and Cultural Arts Facility
Downtown Parker Library and Cultural Arts Facility
The Town, Douglas County Libraries and Douglas County School District RE-1 recently completed an initial study regarding a proposed Library and Performing Arts Facility in Downtown Parker. The facility would be located west of Town Hall on the south side of Mainstreet.
This study confirmed that there were potential local and regional users for a Performing Arts Center in the Town of Parker. The facility could seat up to 700 people and may include classrooms, meeting spaces and/or black box space. The Performing Arts Facility would share the site, and potentially a building with the Parker Library, which would move from its current location.
Along with the site plan and demand parameters, the study included an initial estimate for the capital costs and the operating costs.
The Town and its partners have now begun the second phase of the project which will further refine the site plan and business plan, including refined cost estimates. Perhaps the most important aspect of the next phase is studying funding options for this facility.

The Parker Recreation Center will be closed for annual maintenance the week of July 2-9.
The Recreation Center closes for one week each year to resurface the gymnasium and aerobics floors, repair the parking lot and perform more intensive cleaning. The pool will be drained and cleaned. Activity room floors will be re-tiled and the walls painted. Staff will also clean and check equipment so that patrons are not inconvenienced while the facility is open. Several of the tasks which must be performed involve harsh chemicals or malodorous fumes, so the public must be kept out of the facility for the week.
Recreation staff plans the annual closure for the slowest time of the year for the center, while the weather is nice enough to take your workout outside. Recreation class registrations will be accepted by mail only during the closure. The closure does not affect H2O’Brien Pool.

Parker Colorado Fall soccer and roller hockey registration is July 11
Fall soccer and roller hockey registration is July 11
Parker Recreation’s fall soccer and roller hockey registration lottery will be held from 1-7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 11 at the Parker Recreation Center. Fall soccer and roller hockey seasons begin Aug. 7 and finish Oct. 7.
The kinder soccer program will be held outside at the new field south of Prairie Crossing Elementary in the Auburn Hills subdivision. “We’ve had a lot of parent interest in outdoor soccer for preschoolers in the past, but never had an available field,” says soccer program coordinator Emily Pieper, “With the new field available at Auburn Hills, we finally have field space and can run up to three kinder games at the same time.” The move outdoors will take advantage of Colorado’s lovely early fall weather and give the kinder program more room to grow with the community. The athletics division has geared up for the move outdoors by purchasing smaller nets and balls for the young players. The kinder program is for boys and girls ages 4-6. Teams will have a one hour combined game and practice per week on Friday evenings or Saturday mornings. Focus is on fundamentals and fun in this introductory league where every child plays at least half of each game. Team fees are $55 per player for Douglas County residents, which includes a game shirt.
Youth soccer is for kids grades one through seven. Six year olds in kindergarten may play in either the kinder or youth program. Child’s grade for the 2006-2007 school year will determine grade classification. Coed soccer teams will have one hour long practice plus a game each week. Games and practices are held at either Stroh Ranch Fields or Challenger Park. Team fees are $70 per player for Douglas County residents, which includes a team shirt.
Fall youth roller hockey leagues are open to boys and girls grades two through 12. Parker Recreation will also offer a new Mighty Mite program for players age five through first grade. Teams in both programs have one practice plus one game per week. Every participant will get to play at least half of every game. Practices will be Mon. through Thurs. evenings at the Parker Recreation Center rinks. Games for kids up to eighth grade are on Saturdays at the Parker rinks. Grades nine through 12 play games on Saturdays or Sundays in Parker, Aurora, or Englewood. Makeup games for all grade levels may be played on Sundays. Full protective gear is required for all players. Team fees are $70 for both programs, including your team jersey.
To serve as a volunteer coach for either kinder or youth soccer, please call Emily at 303.805.3271. To volunteer as a roller hockey coach, call Ryan at 303.805.3262. Either of these staff members is happy to answer questions about the Parker Recreation Department’s youth athletic leagues. The Parker Recreation Center is located at 17301 E.

Free Drawing Classes Held in July
Parker artist offers free drawing seminars and exhibition
Artist Tadashi Hayakawa is offering a free four-part drawing workshop during the month of July at Parker’s Mainstreet Center, 19650 E. Mainstreet. The workshops coincide with an exhibition of Hayakawa’s drawings in the Mainstreet Center Gallery. The gallery show opens with a public reception on Wednesday, July 12 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Classes will be held July 13, July 16, July 20 and July 23. Parallel classes will be offered, one for youth ages eight and older and one for adults. Kids’ classes will emphasize bringing creativity into their drawing. Kids will experiment with different drawing mediums and learn how professional artists work. Adults will study basic techniques of pen, pencil, charcoal and wash drawing, but will be encouraged to introduce personal expression, creativity and feeling into their work. Students may attend all or just some of the workshops, and all skill levels are welcome. Classes are 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Mainstreet Center, 19650 E. Mainstreet in downtown Parker. Students should bring a sack lunch.
To register for the drawing workshops, call the Parker Recreation Department at 303.841.4500. The workshops are free, but pre-registration is required so that the instructors can adequately plan for the classes.
Hayakawa is an internationally known artist whose work has been shown in galleries and shows around the world. The drawing exhibition, July 12 through 23, will feature several pieces shown at the Peace Exhibition at the Nagasaki Museum of Art in Japan in 2003 and 2004 and one piece which will be shown in the International Art Festival this coming September in Los Angeles. The exhibit will illustrate how diverse the field of drawing is. Hayakawa’s large works, miniature works, abstract, realist, serious, casual, final products and preparatory sketches will all be shown. He will also use prints of Picasso, Miro, Ben Shahn and Gorky to show how these famous artists use drawing as a foundation for their work.
Work of other area artists will be shown alongside Hayakawa’s drawings. Students from Ponderosa High School, Mountain View Elementary and Academy of Art all contributed pieces. Parker Artist Guild members Barbara Wilson, Beth Appleton, Claire Hovlihan, Betty Arndt and Ervin Bradley will also be guest artists. Workshop students are encouraged to view the exhibit prior to attending class.
A native of Tokyo, Hayakawa left Japan at 19 to travel to the United States to study art. He earned an MFA from the Otis Art Institute in 1969. His professional focus gradually moved to more commercial endeavors and business pursuits. At age 50 he realized that he missed his creative life and returned to drawing, painting and creative experimentation. For the past 13 years, his work has been gaining an international following. His artwork is featured at the 825 Art Gallery in Denver and Don O’Melveny Gallery in Los Angeles, and he exhibits in shows in Japan and Korea. His original artwork is in private and corporate collections throughout the world.
Hayakawa would like to thank the many people who made this exhibition and free workshop series possible, including Mainstreet Coordinator Cindy Galasso, Parker’s Cultural Coordinator Bill Meyer, artist Linda Ginsberg and the Parker Guiry’s store for donating the materials for the workshops

Stonegate Mammoth Tusk Display is June 14
Unveiling of the Stonegate Mammoth Tusk Display is June 14
The Town will hold an unveiling of the new museum-quality Stonegate Mammoth exhibit on Wednesday, June 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Parker Town Hall, 20120 E. Mainstreet. Representatives from Douglas County, the Town of Parker and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science will be participating in this celebration of Parker’s history. All visitors will get the chance to get up close and personal with the mammoth tusk and skull on display. Light appetizers and beverages will be served.
This project has been in the works for several years. On July 15, 2002, heavy equipment operators for the Terrabrook development unearthed the fossil remains of a mammoth while excavating for a road leading into the Stonegate subdivision. They quickly halted operations and worked with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to remove the preserve the remains.
The Museum transported the remains back to Denver and upon further investigation determined that Mammoths lived in the Parker area from nearly 1.5 million years ago to 11,000 years ago, when they became extinct. This Stonegate Mammoth is thought to have lived about 200,000 years ago.
Since the excavation, the Parker Mayor and Town Council, along with the Parker Landmarks Commission, have had an interest in showcasing this archeological find in Parker. Town employees were asked to work with the Museum to find a way to display the mammoth skull and tusk for future generations to enjoy. All entities worked together and the museum-quality exhibit was coincidently erected at Town Hall in May during Colorado Archaeology and Historic Preservation Month.
Town Council also hopes that local school groups, volunteer organizations, Town visitors and anyone else will stop by Town Hall during regular business hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday to visit the exhibit celebrating Parker's history.
