Proud to be a former federal emergency response official with FEMA, and currently with the Red Cross, Boy Scouts, and Ohio Emergency Management Agency.
So yesterday I attended a workshop, "Street, Script and Synthetic - Addictive and Deadly", presented by Stephanie Siete, director of Community Education at Community Bridges. She gave us a greater understanding of the harrowing and growing opiate addiction in our communities. I also got to sit with my friend Max Miguel, who I had dinner with (and our wives too) just last week at Sassi's Italian restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona. The presentation was so good that I suggested today at a meeting of the board of the Phoenix Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists that we ask Ms. Siete to speak at one of our meetings.
