The Buffalo Grove School Safety Partnership, in conjunction with Buffalo Grove and Stevenson high schools, will hold a community forum Thursday to address the topic of drug abuse in the area.
The event is part of a regional effort to increase the awareness and understanding of drug activity and its consequences to parents of high school age students.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 to 9 p.m. at the Buffalo Grove Park District's Alcott Center, 530 Bernard Drive, and will place special emphasis on heroin abuse.
Heroin and prescription drug overdoses throughout the area have become a widespread and persistent public safety problem that creates serious personal, social and economic consequences for adolescents, their families and the community.
"We're directing this at parents of high school students, upper grades," Buffalo Grove police Cmdr. Steve Husak said. "There have been a few overdoses and other issues that have been on the rise in the last year."
"The walls need to be put up," said Lisa Stone, a Buffalo Grove trustee who helped organize the meeting because of her concern about heroin use in the community. "It's the most powerful drug on our planet."
Stone said Friday that she would like to see Buffalo Grove become known as the No. 1 community in Illinois in the fight against heroin, as its Police Department is known as a leader in the fight against drunken driving.
The program will feature presentations by:
• Lake County Metropolitan Enforcement Group's regional drug task force
• Lake County Coroner's Office
• Lake County States Attorney's Office
• Northeastern Illinois Regional Crime Laboratory.
The public is invited, and can R.S.V.P at the village of Buffalo Grove Web site vbg.org by following the instructions on the community forum announcement, or by e-mailing Husak at shusak@vbg.org

The Angry Mandrel 2008 Memorial
~ Psalm 23 ~
The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
TAM ( the angry mandrel ) is a very special place. TAM is so much more then what is seen from the outside. TAM has become my saving grace this past year, as when my friends became strangers, these strangers became friends.
In honor of the forum members, family and friends we will be closed Sunday, Nov. 30th.
The forum will reopen Monday AM.
~ "May God Bless you all"
& "May God Bless you Chad Samson" ~ he did this for all of us a community of artists!
I don't know if a forum has ever closed before!
