Brown County PRESS Legal Notice DEADLINE
Thursday 10:00 A.M.
the number on leading cause of overdose deaths. Fentanyl-related deaths continued to rise sharply until 2017 before starting to decline in 2018. 15 percent of the deaths were attributed to psychostimulants, which includes methamphetamine. Local law enforcement and drug treatment professionals agree that meth use has spiked significantly in the past two years, both locally and statewide. “What we are seeing on the treatment side is a lot more meth abuse than heroin at this point,” said Brown County Board of Mental Health and Addiction Services Director Deanna Vietze. Also weighing in was Brown County Drug and Major Crimes Task Force Commander Justin Conley. “From a law enforcement perspective, we have seen a huge shift from heroin use to methamphetamine use. That has been building for the past couple of years,” Conley said. “We interdicted two pounds worth of methamphetamine off the streets of Brown County in 2018. In 2019, that number climbed to just under six pounds.” Conley said that the trend toward meth and away from heroin seems to be accelerating. “Starting in 2017, the people that are overdosing with methamphetamine in their system has gone way up. By the end of 2018, those numbers were much higher than they were a year before. We have successfully taken off some large drug trafficking organizations in the county that have contributed to that, but we still have more work to do.” Vietze said that treatment options are also working to reduce overdose deaths. “I know that Talbert
House has more people on medication assisted treatment than we have had in the past, so there is a lot more awareness about treatment options. It’s just getting individuals to admit that they have a problem and asking for help,” she said. Vietze also credited the greater availability of Narcan to save the lives of those who have overdosed on opioids, education efforts and the availability of a needle exchange program in the county. “They had 216 unique visits with 3699 needles exchanged. That means folks are not reusing needles, which makes the liklihood of overdose or infection higher,” Vietze said. Conley also gave credit to the treatment community in the county for the reduction in overdose deaths. “I believe that some of the programs in the county for rehabilitation are helping reach people who need help. Our quick response team has been extremely successful in helping people,” he said. Vietze and Conley both said that the expected the number trends shown in 2018 to continue into the 2019 numbers when they are released next year by the ODH. “The numbers are always behind, but I have seen some preliminary numbers from 2019 and I believe they are down from 2018. I know we have had a lot fewer calls for overdoses than we have had in the past,” Vietze said. From the law enforcement side, Conley said “Based on what we are seeing, we expect another slight increase in methamphetamine use this year. I don’t expect an increase like we saw last year, but I don’t think we are at the cap of that issue yet.”
Father Kammerer CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6
We took to giggling ourselves and gently reminded him that he was still alive. “Well,” he said shaking a finger at us. “I’m entrusting you all to make sure they change it when I am no longer of this mortal plane!” The last time I saw him was last year in his home in Waynesville. He was as proud of his collection and his work as ever, having retired from teaching in 2016. He might have left the classroom but the classroom never left him. It was like being back in American Government, listening to the same enthusiastic stories, and getting a refresher on all the imparted wisdom from nearly a decade ago. He was delighted a former student of his would be watching over his library. He was kind enough to pretend he remembered me, but he’d had my mother and my grandmother before me in class, so I can’t fault him for forgetting a face. “You’ve read my book?” He asked in a way that wasn’t really a question. He didn’t wait for an answer but grabbed one of his own copies of his autobiography. He flipped until he found what he was looking for and pointed. “There is my favorite part. If you get nothing else out of this little book, remember that.” The section about the library read: “It is my hope and desire that students of the future will view the art items, replicas, daggers and all else I used in class and gain some information from this collection. Perhaps some future history professor will make use of them. I hope too that they will take from the shelves my books that I so loved and gain some light of knowledge and
enrichment in their lives. And just perhaps, this or that rare professor or student will stop for a moment and wonder about the man who acquired, owned and used them.” Father, nearly every day I walk into the Chatfield library, your library. It is quiet and still in the morning, but bustling with student’s laughter and camaraderie by noon. They study and they goof off at the tables in the ‘new’ section of the library and like all good students, they ask questions. They ask for help finding books. They ask about the artifacts already housed in a glass-doored shelf in the addition. They ask who the guy in the portrait over the circulation desk is. Others will say that should be obvious, that’s Fr. Kammerer, didn’t you read the sign? They wonder and they learn new things every day, and they keep me on my toes like we did you (and you did us). I promise you Father, that they will keep wondering about you, and that the students you taught won’t forget your lessons. And I promise to change the sign. -Emilia Knisley, ‘13 Manager of Library Services, Chatfield College Fr.
