PINELLAS COUNTY — Nar-cotics detectives will hold "Opera-tion Medicine Cabinet" to highlightthe problem of prescription drugabuse on Saturday at various loca-tions in Pinellas County.

According to statistics, pre-scription drugs are the number oneabused drug in the United States,now surpassing all other illicitdrugs. Nine people die daily in theState of Florida due to prescriptiondrug abuse.

In Pinellas County, prescriptiondrug overdose is the leading causeof accidental death after automo-bile crashes.

In order to address this issue,the Pinellas County Sheriff's Officeis participating in a multi-countycollaborative pharmaceutical take-back day aimed at reducing pre-scription drug abuse and keeping aclean environment.

"Operation Medicine Cabinet" isscheduled from 10:00 a.m. until2:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 30,2009. Pinellas County will have atotal of four drop-off locations. Twowill be located in the Sheriff's Of-fice jurisdiction and two in the St.Petersburg Police Department ju-risdiction.

The operation will give resi-dents a chance to bring unused orexpired prescription medicationsto various locations in their com-munity for safe disposal.

"Operation Medicine Cabinet" isone way that the community canactively reduce prescription drugabuse by removing the source fromtheir homes.

"If we do not take active steps toremove the prescription drugsfrom the home, they will end up inthe hands of the kids. Sixty-fourpercent of kids between the ages of12 and 17 who use prescriptiondrugs obtain them from the medi-cine cabinet at home," LieutenantRobert Alfonso, of the NarcoticsUnit, said.

In addition, the program pro-vides a safe way of destroying thepharmaceuticals through incinera-tion. By burning the pharmaceuti-cals as opposed to flushing or send-ing the medication to the landfill,polluting the environment can beavoided.

Thousands of delighted onlookers watched as 44 carefully placed explosive chargeswere detonated to blast holes in the hull of the decommissioned military ship "Gen.Hoyt S. Vandenberg" at 10:24 a.m., May 27. It took just one minute and 54 seconds forthe "Vandenberg" to slip below the water's surface and settle right-side-up, on the seabottom, at a site about 7 miles south-southeast of Key West, in 140 feet of water, in theFlorida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.

ST. PETERSBURG — The TampaBay Rays and Manager Joe Maddonagreed today on a three-year contractextension. The contract extendsthrough the 2012 season. Financialterms were not disclosed.

“Joe’s approach and demeanor areexemplary,” said Rays PrincipalOwner Stuart Sternberg. “He is a keymember of our organization’s leader-ship, and I expect that together, wewill continue to build upon what wehave achieved thus far.”

Rays Executive Vice President forBaseball Operations Andrew Fried-man added: “Joe Maddon is a leaderon and off the field, and he sets thetone for our clubhouse. Just as wehave focused on keeping our on-fieldtalent here long term, it is no differentwith our on-field leadership. Our con-tinued success will come from stabil-ity both on and off the field, and hav-ing Joe here long-term is an importantpart of that stability.”

“This is where I want to be, withthe Rays organization. I can’t imaginebeing anywhere else or workingalongside anyone else," Maddon said.“On the personal side, it’s very grati-fying in terms of what it means for myfamily and me.”

Maddon was named 2008 Ameri-can League Manager of the Year afterhe guided Tampa Bay to the AmericanLeague championship in his third sea-son with the team. The Rays’ 97-65record shattered the club record forwins by 27 and represented a 31-gameimprovement over 2007, the third-

greatest increase in A.L. history.Maddon joined Atlanta’s Bobby

Cox as the only managers in majorleague history to advance to the post-season the year after finishing withthe majors’ worst record. Cox steeredthe Braves to the 1991 NationalLeague Pennant after they finished inthe cellar in 1990.

Maddon was also named 2008Manager of the Year by The SportingNews, USA Today and the NegroLeague Baseball Museum.

The Rays improved their win totalin each of Maddon’s three years asmanager, improving from 61 wins in2006 to 66 in 2007 to 97 last season.Maddon’s 247-285 (.464) managerialrecord and his 146-118 (.551) mark atTropicana Field are best among Raysmanagers all-time. On April 21, Mad-don became the first to manage 500games for the Rays. Among the 30current major league managers, he istied with Detroit’s Jim Leyland as the10th-longest tenured.

Maddon came to the Rays in 2006after a 31-year career in the Angels’organization where he spent most ofhis last 10 seasons as manager MikeScioscia’s bench coach.

During the offseason, the charita-ble-minded Maddon has establishedan annual week-long event in whichhe purchases, cooks and serves holi-day meals to needy individualsthroughout the Tampa Bay area. Mad-don served more than 1,000 meals at"Thanksmas" in 2008, the third year ofthe program.

Aki tears ACL, out for seasonST. PETERSBURG — The Tampa

Bay Rays announced second basemanAkinori Iwamura was placed on the15-day disabled list and will have sea-son-ending surgery to repair a tornACL (anterior cruciate ligament) inhis left knee. The injury occurredwhile turning a double play in theeighth inning on Sunday’s game atFlorida Marlins.

Left-handed relief pitcher BrianShouse was also placed on the 15-dayDL, with a left elbow strain. Left-handed pitcher David Price was re-called from Durham (AAA) and willstart tonight’s game in Cleveland.The Rays have also selected left-handed relief pitcher Randy Choate

from Durham (AAA).Iwamura, 30, was batting .310 in 44

games this season with 13 doubles, 16RBI, eight stolen bases and a .377 on-base percentage. Since joining theRays in 2007, he has compiled a .283average in 319 games with 64 dou-bles, 13 HR, 98 RBI, 145 walks, 28stolen bases and a .356 OBP.

Shouse, 40, is 1-1 with a 3.77 ERAin 19 games for the Rays. The leftyspecialist has held left-handed hittersto a .235 average this season (.188heading into yesterday’s game) and.213 for his career.

Price, 23, made eight starts forDurham, compiling a 1-4 record and a3.93 ERA (34.1-IP, 28-H, 20-R, 15-

ER, 18-BB, 35-SO). In his most re-cent outing, Sunday vs. Rochester, hethrew 5.0 scoreless innings of no-hitball, with nine strikeouts and twowalks. He entered the 2009 seasonranked by Baseball America as theNo. 2 overall prospect, and top pitch-ing prospect, in the game. Price wasselected No. 1 overall by the Rays inthe 2007 June Draft out of VanderbiltUniversity.

In 2008, Price jumped from VeroBeach (A) to the majors in his firstprofessional season and made his bigleague debut less than four monthsinto his pro career. He made one startand four relief appearances for theRays after his call-up, compiling a 1.93

ERA (14.0-IP, 9-H, 4-R, 3-ER, 4-BB,12-SO). Price made five relief outingsin the 2008 postseason and was onthe mound when the Rays capturedthe AL pennant. In doing so, he be-came the quickest top overall JuneDraft selection to play in the WorldSeries.

Choate, 33, was 3-0 with a 3.72ERA in a staff-high 21 appearancesfor Durham this season. He owns acareer 5-7 record and a 4.64 ERA in196 major league relief outings in allor parts of eight seasons with theNew York Yankees and Arizona Dia-mondbacks (2004-07).
