Parents Told to Talk to Kids About Prescription Drug Abuse; Medication Take-Back Day Is Saturday

Sheriff's Department officials discuss the growing problem at Aliso Viejo City Hall. Return drugs to police station for safe disposal.
The City of Aliso Viejo held a short presentation at City Hall Wednesday about the abuse and misuse of prescription drugs.
Deputy Darren Braham of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and Crime Prevention Specialist Margo Beauchamp engaged parents and the community in a discussion about being aware of the drug trends in Orange County.
An intimate setting of only 10 people, mainly women and concerned mothers, made up the crowd. Braham went through a list of illegal substances and how teens today are frequently selling and abusing prescription drugs.
He educated parents and guardians of the seriousness behind every pill, the causes and effects, what teens are using them for, how to look for symptoms, where teens are getting them from and how to prevent it. He encouraged parents and guardians to talk with their teens and take this issue seriously.
Wednesday’s presentation was to promote National Prescription Medication Take Back Day on April 28. Between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., residents can bring unwanted, unused and expired prescription medication to the Aliso Viejo Police Station at 11 Journey. It is free and discrete with drive-thru access. This event will be held rain or shine throughout the nation to dispose unwanted prescription medication the safe and correct way -- not down the drains or toilets.
According to the Office of Diversion Control, in 2011 the Drug Enforcement Administration collected more than 377,086 pounds of unwanted or expired prescription medication. There were 5,327 take-back sites throughout the nation. The DEA hopes to see an increase this year.
Look online for more information, or call 714-647-4133 for local drop-off locations to dispose unwanted prescription medication.

Oak Park in Aliso Viejo

Oak Park is located on Boundary Oak and is adjacent to several of our neighborhoods including
Memory Lane, Milano, Talavera, Canterbury and Pacific Grove. It is also just a short distance from Canyon View Elementary.
I love this park because it has lots of trees and little hills and reminds me of an old fashioned park where you can plop down with a blanket or chair and read a book, or people watch.
There is a pretty large tot area, one basketball court and several eating areas and benches to rest at.

Date is set for Dog Park Walk Thru.. May 12th

Aliso Viejo Community Association board members selected May 12 for the Aliso Canyon Community Park walking workshop—the proposed site for the city's first dog park.

Residents are encouraged to attend the workshop to give input and hear plans for the park from AVCA board and committee members.

AVCA President Ross Chun said the workshop is proposed to begin near the soccer field at the end of the Aliso Canyon Community Park. The actual location for the dog park has been discussed for the undeveloped area beyond the soccer fields, toward Aliso and Wood Canyon Park.

Do you have a dog that will enjoy this new park? I do!
