The dark looking buds which I didn't have a lot of hope for last week have opened to these beautiful, bold red flowers at the corner of the house. Great way to start a new week. - LW Comments | Permalink Over 60lbs of prescription drugs processed

The National Prescription Drug Take Back program is sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration with a goal of removing opioids and other medicines that are unused from our community's homes, where they are vulnerable to misuse, theft, or abuse by family members and visitors including children and teens. In just four hours, over 60 pounds of pills were collected by the Adair County Sheriff's Office. These pills, held here by Sheriff Josh Brockman, will be properly destroyed. This will also reduce the risk of ground water pollution, which can result when pills are flushed. Comments | Permalink ACSO, ACEMS, and ACJE help dispose of prescription drugs

Sheriff Brockman's Office was assisted by members of the Adair County EMS and the Adair County Judge Executive, who all came by to help collect and sort the medicines. The Sheriff's Office extends a huge "Thank You" for their help and "Thank You to the community" for making the day a success.
