Block Watch Seminar, June 9

The Olympia Police Department will hold a Block Watch seminar on Monday, June 9, 5:30 – 6:30 pm at Olympia City Hall.

Block Watch is a simple, effective method of getting neighbors to talk about safety and preventing crime. It is one of the most effective and least costly ways to prevent crime and reduce fee. Block Watch fights the isolation that crime both creates and feeds upon. It forges bonds among residents, helps reduce crime and improves relations between the police and the communities we serve.

Attend this seminar to learn about the Block Watch program and how it can help our neighborhood focus on safety. Hear tips and strategies from Block Watch members who have successfully tackled drug houses, crime trends, sex offenders and squatters.

NOTICE OF
2014 CAPITAL CITY MARATHON
MAY 18, 2014

Please factor the Capital City Marathon into your morning plans on Sunday May 18th. Our event is large enough that it could affect your mobility at times on Sunday morning. Depending on where you live on the race routes, it is conceivable that your ability to get somewhere or to return home that morning might be impacted.

The marathon run begins at 7:00 a.m., the half-marathon begins at 7:45 a.m. and the five-mile run begins at 8:00 a.m. You can go to the Capital City Marathon website to look at the course map to find out where your house is on the course.

The vast majority of marathon runners will finish between 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Most half-marathon runners will finish by 10:45 a.m. The five-mile race will be done by 9:30 a.m. Those attending churches located along the race courses may be delayed due to runners on the road depending on the time your service begins and ends.

We have volunteers and local law enforcement directing traffic to ensure runner safety and to keep vehicles moving safely. We try to minimize the inconvenience but be aware of the event and please be patient.

Thank you in advance for your tolerance and patience on race day.

Jim Lux, President and Course Safety Coordinator, Capital City Marathon Association
