    logo_MATForceVerde Valley AZ (October 9, 2019) – Accidental opioid drug overdoses kill hundreds of Arizonans each year.  MATFORCE and area law enforcement hope everyone will help reduce this epidemic by bringing unwanted medication to Dump the Drugs on Saturday, October 26.   The event is being held in partnership with the DEA’s National Take Back Day.  Medications can be disposed of at one of eight locations throughout the county, including: Cottonwood, Sedona, Camp Verde, Clarkdale, Prescott, Prescott Valley and Chino Valley.

    Dr. Leon Cattolico, MATFORCE Board Member said, “Proper disposal of outdated and unused prescription drugs saves lives. Disposing of unwanted medication keeps these potentially dangerous drugs from getting into the wrong hands and also keeps medications from getting into our water systems.”

    In the greater Prescott area, prescription and over-the-counter medications can be dropped off between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM at the following locations:  Prescott Police Department, 222 S. Marina Street, Prescott Valley Police Department, 7601 E. Civic Circle, Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office Williamson Valley Substation, 4155 West Outer Loop Road, Prescott and the Chino Valley Police Department, 1950 Voss Drive.

      Why not a location in the Village of Oak Creek? Many of us don’t like to get out on the roads on the weekend because of the tourist traffic. I have a bag of prescription drugs I would like to dispose of. Thanks.

      You can drop off drugs 24 hours a day at Sedona PD lobby. Pick a safe time when traffic is slow. Simple instructions are on the drop box.


    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
