    logo_MATForceVerde Valley AZ (April 27, 2015) – A “Dump the Drugs” event will be held on Saturday, May 9th, in Lake Montezuma at the Beaver Creek Adult Center.  MATFORCE, the Beaver Creek Community Action Team and Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office are helping sponsor this event.

    The Beaver Creek Dump the Drugs event gives local community members a chance to safely dispose of unwanted prescription or over-the-counter medication.    Thirty percent of youth report they get pills to abuse right out of the family medicine cabinet.  Proper disposal of unwanted medication will help keep potentially dangerous drugs out of the wrong hands and from getting into our water systems.

    Merilee Fowler, MATFORCE Executive Director, said, “Prescription drug abuse is a national epidemic.  But locally we are making progress.  Prescription drug abuse among youth is down by 36.8% since 2012, according to the most recent Arizona Youth Survey.  Thank you to all who take the time to safely dispose of unwanted medications.”

    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.
