PROGRAM:
President Brian presented Detective Sergeant Jeffrey Toth from the Austintown Police Department D.A.R.E. Program.
Sgt. Toth introduced Rotary to the new program by the Austintown Police Department to collect outdated over the counter and prescription drugs for proper disposal.
This is Officer Toth's 22nd year with the department, with the last 10 in the D.A.R.E. Program in schools. Last spring, Detective Sergeant Jeff Solic, in conjunction with Chief Paul Gavalier, enlisted Toth's aid to help with the drug disposal program. Drugs that are thrown into our water system or tossed out are a danger to children and animals and are very hard to get rid of in water treatment plants.
The last Wednesday of every month from Noon until 3 p.m., Toth will collect and sort drugs to be incinerated. They can be dropped off at the Police Station on Ohltown Road in Austintown. The program had to be approved by the DEA and the Green Team was asked to help with documentation and witness the disposal. Persons dropping off the drugs can be anonymous if they prefer and don't even have to get out of their car. Needles and syringes are not included in this program. The program will continue until further notice.
The invocation and pledge were led by Toby Mirto.
