No Parents, No Entrance at New Hampshire Mall

April 20, 2005
When you're a kid hanging out with mommy and daddy isn't always peaches and cream, but if you want to shop at the Pheasant Lane Mall on Friday or Saturday nights you're gonna have to take them along. Two weeks ago, in response to recent "disorderly and disruptive" acts, the security at Pheasant Lane Mall started passing out flyers detailing the Simon-owned mall's "general code of conduct," according to mall manager Ginny Szymanski. From 6 p. m. to 9:30 p. m. on Fridays and Saturdays, security guards stand outside two mall entrances to make sure anyone under 16 has someone over the age of 21 accompanying them. "That's when we approach them and give them a copy of the code of conduct and ask the parent to come in with them," Szymanski said. She said the code - which outlines 13 rules governing acceptable conduct and clothing, among other things - will be enforced by security. Szymanski said the mall rules have always been intact and posted, though the fliers were printed in response to the large amount of teenagers loitering, not shopping, on Friday and Saturday nights. If kids are found to be disrupting the mall's business, Szymanski said they will be escorted to the command center to call a parent to pick them up. "We're not out to punish anyone," she said. "We're just trying to better manage the shopping experience. " Shoppers interviewed by The Telegraph weren't too excited by the recent enforcement of the code. "I feel as though if I want to drop my kids off, I should. They're responsible," said Leann Newcomb of Lowell, Mass. , who was shopping Monday with her 15-year-old daughter, Ashley. Ashley felt the same. "I can come here and I can be fine without my mom," she said. This problem with kids' isn't happening at all New Hampshire malls. Scott Payrits, senior marketing manager at the Steeplegate Mall in Concord, said kids come to his mall to shop, not to be menaces. "We do not have any sort of problem with disruptive incidents, especially with kids," he said. "We have very good public safety. We don't have the need for a children-specific code of conduct. " One of the rules at Pheasant Lane prohibits dress "commonly recognized as gang-related. " Szymanski said they don't have a problem with gangs, it's the attire that the kids are wearing -- long chains, studded bracelets and necklaces that can be used as weapons -- that are the problem. Leann Newcomb questioned the code. "They sell that stuff," said Newcomb. "How are they going to tell the kids after they buy that stuff not to wear it? Isn't that a violation of your constitutional rights?"

Pornography Raises Funds for Sick Children

April 15, 2005
Slain porn star's agent wants to donate proceeds from her final movie to local Canadian children's hospital. Twenty-three-year-old, Natel King, stage name Taylor Sumers, made her final on-screen appearance in a porn film titled "Lesbian Lover. " After being stabbed to death last year, King's agent, Stephen Sirard, wants to donate proceeds made from the film's sales to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. Sirard said lawyers for his FCF agency in California had asked the hospital if they could highlight the promised gift on the cover of their video, using wording like "all proceeds from the sale of this video go to Sick Kid's Hospital in Toronto. " But hospital spokeswoman Carol Duncan said she has not heard anything about the issue, and she declined to say how the hospital might react to a donation of this kind. "We have to send the issue to the ethics committee and the board of directors for consideration," she said. King, described by Sirard as "a porn star with principles," says King raised money for the hospital before she was murdered. King was stabbed to death in February 2004 after a photography shoot near Philadelphia. The photographer has pleaded guilty to murder and could face 25 years in jail.

Inmate Ran Off With The Warden's Wife

April 5, 2005
Authorities have arrested a convicted killer and located the wife of an assistant prison warden ten years after they vanished. 60-year old Randolph Dial was arrested at a mobile home in the east Texas town of Campti following a tip from the TV show "America's Most Wanted". He had been convicted of murdering a karate instructor in 1981. Investigators thought Bobbi Parker may have been taken against her will when she went missing August 30, 1994, but after being discovered working on a chicken ranch not far from where Dial was found, authorities say she doesn't seem interested in going back to her former life. The now 42-year old Parker and Dial have apparently been managing five large chicken houses near the Louisiana border, though officials cannot confirm the extent of their relationship over the past decade. Prior to his escape, Dial was confined to minimum security Oklahoma State Reformatory in Granite where he used his skill as a renowned painter and sculptor with a master's degree in art to run the facility's pottery program. He also enjoyed extended privileges outside of the prison, including using a kiln at the Parker's home garage. Bobbi Parker's husband, Randy, says he saw Dial working in the garage the day his wife disappeared. A note was discovered when Parker came home for lunch saying Bobbi had gone to the grocery store. Later, Dial was reported missing as well as Bobbi Parker. Bobbi Parker did call her mother in tears telling her she couldn't talk, but would be home soon. A second call was made to her mother a day later telling her to call home and tell her kids she loved them and would be back soon. It was the last time there would be any reported contact. Randy Parker, who was a deputy warden at the facility, is now the warden at the William S. Key Correctional Center at Fort Supply, Oklahoma. Upon being located by FBI agents, Bobbi did ask about her husband and two daughters, though she gave no indication she plans to return. Shelby County Sheriff Newton Johnson says, "As far as I know, she has no intention of leaving. She said she wants to stay on the farm and raise chickens. "
