    Verde Valley News – Please join us for our next Mental Health Monday program via Zoom which will take place on November 28th, 2022, 10:00 to 11:30 AM, and will focus on Opioid and the Brain. BCBSAZ Health Choice’s Opioid and the Brain Training was created to help educate members, family members and the community on the effects of opioid use on the brain and the treatments available. It helps explain the desire for continued use and the complications of withdrawal. The training provides up to date Arizona and nationwide statistics along with information on addiction risk factors.

    This important and valuable discussion led by our speaker Veronica Welch, who has been working in Behavioral Health in northern Arizona for over 24 years. Her current position of Office of Individual and Family Affairs Manager allows her to build partnerships with individuals, families, and stakeholders to promote recovery, resiliency, and wellness. As a person with lived experience her desire is to increase the voice of members and families in areas of leadership, service delivery and decision-making committees. She advocates for members and families to have service environments that are supportive, welcoming, and free of barriers. She promotes wellness and whole health care for individuals.

    The opioid epidemic has impacted Veronica on a very personal level involving losses of multiple family members and friends over the past 4 years. Her goal is to help educate people about opioids and bring a compassionate understanding of the affects they have on the brain and behaviors.

    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.
