Chicagoetry: The War Of The Rainbows
By J.J. Tindall
The War of the Rainbows
I miss the war

when I could sleep.
They would kick-box
across the horizon
like giant pairs of bowl-legs.

Substance Abuse Prevention Month – Reaching Teens
By Prevention First
October is National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, which focuses on the role substance abuse prevention plays in promoting safe and healthy communities.
Underage drinking, non-medical use of prescription drugs, and illicit drug use take a devastating toll on our families and in our communities, exacting more than $740 billion annually in costs related to crime, lost work productivity and health care.
“Stopping substance abuse before it begins can increase a person’s chances at living a longer, healthier and more productive life,” said Karel Homrig, executive director of Prevention First. “An excellent way to stop abuse before it starts is to work with teens. The teenage brain is very ‘plastic,’ just as it was in early childhood. This means it transforms, grows, and learns more fluidly than the adult brain. The experiences a teen has shapes their life as an adult.”
