The NOPE Task Force of Palm Beach County (Narcotics Overdose Prevention & Education) will conduct a forum for parents the 31st (not this Monday but next Monday) at 7 pm in the West Boca High School auditorium.
The event is sponsored by the PTSAs of Loggers’ Run Middle School and West Boca High.
While West Boca News likes the idea of such a forum, we do not agree with the NOPE legislative agenda. Their efforts to increase federal control of prescription pain medication will do nothing to protect our kids. Current controls already cause serious difficulties for people with genuine medical problems.

Stabbings Near Corner of Glades and Boca Rio
Update: Titus Lebrun Arrested for Murder at Jimmy the Greek
West Boca News received reports from readers of a major incident that happened around 8 pm near the corner of Glades and Boca Rio. From the “tweet” above, you can see that two patients were taken to a trauma center, probably Delray.
One reader called and said he saw approximately eight police cars and at least one ambulance. Another said:
Something going on glades close to the turnpike next to dunkin donuts. Had a guy down in the street across in hand cuffs and multiple cops, fire, ambulance everywhere. Looks like he ran from dunkin
A third reported:
Multiple stabbings by the jewelry exchange according to a friend of mine who heard it go off on his scanner.
We will update our readers when we learn more.
