The City of Jackson has just adopted two proclamations regarding the month of September. The first recognized that September of 2008 is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. Vice Mayor Connie Gonsalves read the proclamation, which stated that substance use disorders impact 22.6 million people aged 12 or older in the U.S. The proclamation called upon “the people of Jackson to observe this month with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies supporting this year’s theme, ‘Join the Voices for Recovery: Real People, Real Recovery’.” Also, September 2008 will now be Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in Jackson. Council member Andy Rodriguez read the proclamation and presented it to Karen Crabtree,
whose husband successfully has beaten the disease. Crabtree provided the public with information on the cancer, including a group in San Francisco called the Second Opinion that offers free services on second opinions from a panel of five doctors. For anyone interested in that group, call 415-775-9956.
