Anti-Drug Meeting

The drug problem in Patchogue-Medford..

The Anti-Drug Coalition meeting scheduled for April 4th at the Pat-Med library has been cancelled because some taxpayer funded agencies seem to think we don't need one... even though our young continue to die in record numbers without any signs of relief.

Until we get serious about inplementing the recommendations of the Suffolk Heroin & Opiate Advisory Panel and putting an end to the politics, nothing is going to change.

Maybe its time for our elected officials to re-visit the whole process including funding, to find out why we are failing. It doesnt have to be this way and parents are looking for our leaders to put an end to this health crisis destroying our youth and their families.

Hi Gina: about the Puppy in Eagle Estates...I saw a 'lost dog' notice posted on the corner ofRead More Buffalo and Jamaica Avenues (in Medford) a few days ago. Looked like a Golden or yellow lab, but we had already turned by the time I glimpsed it so I didn't get any real info. Could be the same missing dog, albeit a wee bit thinner? Might be worth checking out?
