—ie Walmart stocking Koolaid & Crystal Lite in their liquor department during current renovation. Complaints to store received response on 5/11 that it is corporate policy and they will move it after reno is complete June 15. However, after our meeting, received a call from local management saying they decided to be “a store of community action” and were moving it despite corporate policy.
• Summit IV: Sept 15. Input, funds/budget?—consensus is to focus on a Youth Summit
with UAD and other drug info; utilize as much free programming as possible, even repeating Robin Stampʼs Internet safety. Sandy offered SRO officer for breakouts. Recommended invitees: student council officers, teen court participants, at risk nominees. As a “school sponsored program” absence would not be counted, according to Linda Morrow. Further discussion will be undertaken by a committee effort. Dave Clark suggested co-sponsorship by PLAAD & Show Low Coalition.

• ME Office—now under new management and moved from Health
Department to Sheriffʼs Office. Remains active in community education but Brock Bevell is not on staff so Greg is “flying solo” and needs to slow down external programs for the time being. April 22, 6 presentations were conducted for Snowflake High School seniors.
• ME Statistics: April yielded 3 alcohol related deaths (2 motor vehicle, 1 long
term use); 2 drug ODs, both Rx. Averaging about 5/mo drug/alcohol related deaths. Overall, 90% of drug deaths are Rx (methadone, oxy, alcohol) 75% are prescribed to them and stockpiled, or taken from someone else in household who has Rx
• PLADD—Dave Clark—BRHS forming 12 step group with Dr Chris Butler,
aiming for weekly meetings through school year and summer. Needs assistance with program. Rx abuse is rampant at HS, a lot of Percoset & steroids. Many anonymous calls about users. A parent group is essential for involvement. Community Bridges will look for way to work with PLAAD to help.

Does pick ups and interventions.
• Barbara Bruce noted White Mountain Regional Medical Center is still doing detox but
has dismissed Dr David Greenberg, the addictionologist, and the psychiatric nurse due to budget issues. Don Goodman continues to be the Detox contact.
• Chris Rodencal noted a cyclical upswing at Summit Healthcare ER for heroin OD/
Detox, with 4-5 weekly presenting in ER. 3-4 months have passed and H is back again, across the board—teens, adults, equal opportunity. She also noted frequency of dual diagnosis. Federal courts have temporarily suspended the Arnold v Sarn that mandated service for mentally ill so they are being curbed. Yavapai Countyʼs Womensworld is offering 90-day programs for dual diagnosis patients with referrals through Community Counseling. Final note, SafeHouse needs food which can be delivered to Butterfly Boutique in Lakeside.

Carolyn Holiday now in charge of Adult Drug Court which has 18 participants, double the participation.

presentation to the Board of Supervisors which includes a $1,000 donation to NCDP if the budget is funded. “If the vote is unsuccessful, it is going to turn our community on its head.there will be thousands of community layoffs. The roles we should be playing will be challenged. Oct. 1 is deadline for taking 200 medium/maximum convicts into our pre-sentence facilities/jails. Mr Jayne acknowledged Greg Cardita and the Medical Examinerʼs office for thinking outside of the box for their function and expanding into community education programs.
