Ipswich Police to Host Prescription Drug Take Back Day and Touch-a-Truck Event

IPSWICH — Chief Paul Nikas is pleased to announce that the Ipswich Police Department and Ipswich Aware are teaming up to host a Prescription Drug Take Back Day and Touch-A-Truck event later this month.

The day of events promises to bring together the community to get up close and personal with trucks and public safety vehicles, as well as receive vital information and resources about expired and unwanted prescription drugs.

When:

Saturday, April 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Where:

Ipswich High School, 134 High St.

Who:

  • Ipswich Aware, a multi-disciplinary collaborative of key stakeholders throughout Ipswich working to address the issue of drug addiction in the community
  • Members of the Ipswich Police Department and other town leaders

What:

The Ipswich Police Department will be providing safe and secure prescription drug disposal for all members of the Ipswich community.

At the same time, Touch-A-Truck brings your child’s favorite public safety and construction vehicles to life so children can learn about local police, fire and emergency services while exploring real-life fire trucks, ambulances and police vehicles.

“This event has become a tradition for us, and I look forward to seeing as many families as possible,” Chief Nikas said. “We think it’s great to combine a fun, family-friendly event with important work providing a safe way for residents to surrender their unwanted and unneeded drugs to ensure those potentially deadly and addictive medicines don’t end up in the wrong hands.”

National Drug Take Back Day, which is organized by the Drug Enforcement Administration, is designed to provide a safe, convenient and responsible way to dispose of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications. Residents should note that liquids, needles or sharps will not be accepted.

Studies show that many abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, many Americans improperly dispose of their unused medicine, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away – both potential safety and health hazards.

ROCHESTER — The Rochester Schools are pleased to announce that students at the Creteau Regional Technology Center have chosen the center’s new logo from a series of student-designed entries. 

Creteau Tech students entered a logo design contest with a mandate to create an image that best represents the school and its wide variety of career technical education programs.

Students voted on the logo they liked best, with junior Emily Johnson’s CTE Tree of Knowledge emerging as the favorite. Junior Emelia Lamie’s CTE Shield earned second place, while senior Esther White’s CTE Depth of Knowledge design earned third place.

Johnson was awarded a $100 gift card, while Lamie and White each received $50 and $25 gift cards, respectively. They were chosen from among 38 entries.

 

“Each of the designs were great representations of Creteau Tech’s programs, and I’m confident that Emily’s design will represent the school for years to come,” Superintendent Mike Hopkins said.

“Creteau Tech provides our students with so many opportunities to earn real world experiences and develop practical skills,” Mayor McCarley said. “The logo design contest is a great example of the type of opportunities available to students, and I want to congratulate everyone for exercising their creativity.”

The winning logo will be transformed into a digital image and placed on display next month.

Raynham Fire Department to Provide Free Smoke Detectors and Fire Safety Tips to Seniors

RAYNHAM – Chief James T. Januse is pleased to announce that the Raynham Fire Department will once again make smoke detectors available to seniors at no cost.

Through its Senior SAFE (Student Awareness of Fire Education) program, Raynham Firefighters are actively working to educate seniors in town in order to help them protect themselves and their homes from fire. Raynham Firefighters are available to conduct home inspections, test smoke alarms and install new ones free of charge for residents over the age of 65 thanks to the program, which is funded by a federal grant.

Members of the department will present essential fire safety techniques to senior groups at the Raynham Senior Center and Saint Ann’s Catholic Church, and they will also visit with residents at the Pine Hill Estates to ensure homes there have working smoke alarms.

The educational sessions and home inspections will continue now through the summer.

“Fire prevention and safety are core elements of our role in the community,” Chief Januse said. “I want to commend Lt. Jeffrey Kelleher for his commitment to this program and ensuring that we’re doing the very best that we can to protect our residents.”

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), having working smoke alarms reduces the risk of dying in a fire by 50 percent and, on average, three out of every five fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. In addition, individuals over the age of 59 are among the most likely to die in a fire, according to the NFPA.

Anyone with questions should call the Raynham Fire Department at 508-824-2713.
