    logo_MATForceVerde Valley AZ (February 3, 2016) – MATFORCE and the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office announce the annual MATFORCE Youth Poster Contest. The 2016 theme is “Stand With Me, Be Drug Free.”

    Yavapai County youth, from age 5 to 18, are invited to enter the contest.  Winning posters will be used in official MATFORCE materials, such as school posters, prevention workbooks, website and for local or state media releases.

    20160203_MATFORCE-Youth-Poster-Contest-2016There are many cash prizes and ways to win. Two grand prize winners will be selected from the contest’s main categories:  grades K-6 and grades 7-12.  Each grand prize winner will receive $250.  Additionally, $25 Amazon gift cards will be awarded to the winners in each of seven other age categories. Honorable mention winners will receive a $10 Amazon gift card.

    Deputy Scott Reed, of the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, said, “I am excited about this year’s poster contest and the new theme of ‘Stand With Me, Be Drug Free.’  It is a powerful tool for the health of our children.  Asking others to ‘Stand By Me’ helps youth build their own peer group that strives to stay away from the harm of drug or alcohol use.”

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
