BOONE COUNTY DRUG PREVENTION COALITION IN THIS ISSUE: RED RIBBON WEEK ALCOHOL COMPLIANCE DARIN LAHOOD MEETING DFC GRANT YOUTH COUNCIL REBRANDED!
DARIN LAHOOD MEETING
RED RIBBON WEEK Red Ribbon week is a national event focused on educating and spreading awareness about substance abuse among youths. From October 23 to October 31, people will be showing their support with this years theme: ‘Be Kind to Your Mind’. Our mental and emotional well-being is just as important as our physical health. Keep on the lookout for local events happening during that week, and show support for Red Ribbon Week by wearing red!
ALCOHOL COMPLIANCE On August 17th, 2023, the BCDPC, in conjunction with the Counterdrug task force, Illinois State Police, Zone 2 Investigations Rockford, Belvidere Police Department and the Boone County Sheriff’s Department, conducted alcohol compliance checks on 27 on-premise retail businesses. Out of those 27, 12 of the businesses were not compliant and sold to an underage youth. One of the biggest factors when determining if a customer is underage is their ID. Always ask for an ID; appearances can be deceiving. Youths under 21 will have a distinctly different drivers license than someone that is 21 and older-their ID will be vertical, not horizontal. Furthermore, the date that they do turn 21 will be printed under their picture.
UNDER 21
COMPARE & CONTRAST: HOW MANY DIFFERENCES CAN YOU SPOT?
OVER 21
COALITION UPDATES
The BDCPC recently met with Congressman Darin LaHood, who serves on the Illinois Congress, representing the constituents of the 16th Congressional District. Congressman LaHood also serves on The Ways and Means Committee-the House’s oldest committee and has jurisdiction over all taxation & other revenue-raising measures, trade & tariffs, healthcare, and Social Security. Members of the BCDPC met with Congressman LaHood to introduce the coalition and our mission, and to educate Congressman LaHood on issues like substance abuse among youths.
DFC GRANT The BCDPC is proud to announce that they were awarded a competing continuation of the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Grant! This grant is awarded to local coalitions in hopes of establishing and strengthening collaboration among communities, and thereby reducing substance use in youths. The DFC hopes that by allowing communities to address their specific needs at a local level, various sectors can come together for a common goal: Reduce youth substance use. With the DFC Grant, the BCDPC can continue on with improving the quality of life for all in Boone County. Continued on Page 2

Byron Cooper 100 E. Grove Street, Poplar Grove, IL ph. 608-346-2999
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Byron Lee Cooper at the age of 75. Byron peacefully departed this earthly realm on October 13, 2023, in Jefferson, Ohio, surrounded by his loved ones. He was born on July 31, 1948, in Belvidere, Illinois.
ⰓⰕⰂⰦⰣⰻⰵ ⱐⱇⰂⰪⱂⱍⱍⱐⱘⱆⱆⱏ
Byron’s life was marked by a strong sense of duty & honor. He faithfully served his country as a member of the US Army for 2 years, defending the principles he held dear. Following his military service, he embarked on a fulfilling career as a skilled carpenter, leaving behind a legacy of exceptional craftsmanship.
No tricks, just treats!
However, Byron’s true happiness came from his role as a devoted family man. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Bonnie Cooper, whose unwavering support & love enriched his life. Byron cherished his children, Justin (Crystal), Chad (Winter), & Weston (Michelle); & took great pride in being a loving & nurturing grandfather to Kailey, Autumn, Gabriel, Arianna, Bianca, & Cataleya. He also leaves behind cherished memories for his siblings, nieces, & nephews.
Stop in now through 10/31/23 to pick a special prize. $5 match plays, double loyalty points, and more!*

Beyond his professional pursuits, Byron found solace & joy in simple pleasures. He had a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature, which he often explored through his love for travel. Byron also found peace & relaxation in the art of fishing, the tranquility of gardening, & the captivating world of sci-fi movies.
Byron was preceded in death by his parents, Vernon & Vesta Cooper; his twin sons, & his brother, Michael Cooper. Their memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who loved him. A celebration of Byron’s life will be held at The Hidden Aerie located at 116 W Locust St., Belvidere on November 4th, 2023 from 12 pm to 6 pm, providing an opportunity for family, friends, & loved ones to gather & pay their final respects. During this time, stories will be shared, tears shed, & memories cherished as we honor the impact Byron had on our lives. Byron Lee Cooper will be remembered as a man of integrity, a master craftsman, & a devoted family man. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. May he rest in eternal peace.
