    logo_MATForceVerde Valley AZ (April 15, 2014) – A Dump the Drugs event will be held on April 26th at 6 locations county wide, including Cottonwood, Sedona, Camp Verde, Prescott, Prescott Valley and Chino Valley.  MATFORCE and area law enforcement are joining with the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Campaign to gather and safely dispose of unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medication.

    20140415_Dump-the-Drugs-Over recent years, MATFORCE Dump the Drugs events has collected many thousands of pounds of unwanted medication.  The results are promising.  Prescription drug abuse among our youth fell from 24% in 2010 to 18% in 2012 (AZ Youth Survey).

    Properly disposing of unwanted medication keeps potentially dangerous drugs from getting into the wrong hands. Among youth who report abusing prescription pills, 30% say they took the pills right out of their own homes.  Safe disposal also keeps drugs from getting into our water systems.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
