    Verde Valley AZ (December 21, 2011) – MATFORCE’s Pizza Box Topper Art Contest received 215 entries with a “Say No to Underage Drinking” message.

    Winners were chosen from four different age categories:  Madasin Farrow, from Coyote Springs Elementary School in Prescott Valley, won in the K–2 grade category; Abby Heydorn, from Accelerated Learning and the Boys and Girls Club of Northern Arizona in Cottonwood, won in the 3–5 grade category; Alex Espinoza, from Cottonwood Middle School and Boys and Girls Club of Northern Arizona, was named winner in the 6–8 grade category and in the 9-12 grade category, Breanna Butcher, of Mingus Mountain Academy in Prescott Valley, was chosen as the winner.

    Officer James Tobin of the Prescott Valley Police Department and Chair of the MATFORCE Underage Drinking Task Force said, “MATFORCE uses pizza box toppers to help spread a message against underage drinking.  This is the first year we asked youth to help design the flyer.  It was exciting to see all the entries and creativity.  It gave our youth a chance to personally create their own message about the serious risks and harm of underage drinking.  Thank you to all who participated in the contest.”

    Over the next few months, law enforcement departments from throughout the county will deliver the new flyers to area pizza stores. Participating pizza stores will attach the flyer to the top of their pizza boxes helping spread an anti-underage drinking message.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols

The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
