Health, addiction and law enforcement leaders gathered June 23 at a press conference called by U.S. Sen. Tom Carper to detail the negative consequences that health reform legislation in Washington would have for Delaware’s response to the addiction epidemic.
“The bills under consideration by Congress are inhumane,” said Dr. Karyl Rattay, director of DHSS’ Division of Public Health, at the gathering held at the New Castle County Public Safety Building. She said the reductions in Medicaid spending will mean fewer people will seek treatment for addiction. “People will suffer and people will die.” In 2016, 308 died in Delaware from overdoses, up 35% from 2015.
Sen. Carper said Medicaid would be cut by more than $800 billion over the next 10 years, cutting Delaware’s Medicaid budget by more than $2 billion. Medicaid is the largest payer of addiction treatment services, paying for 21% of all related care in 2014.
New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer said first responders have administered the opioid-reversing medication naloxone 1,135 times since he’s been in office. “But it only works if we have a health care system to back it up,” he said. New Castle County EMS Chief Larry Tan said, “Every day in New Castle there’s a race against time.” He said paramedics have four to six minutes to administer naloxone before someone who has overdosed suffers permanent damage or death.
Dave Humes, a board member of atTAcK addiction who lost his son, Greg, to an accidental overdose in 2012, said Medicaid is a lifeline to so many who have lost their jobs, their homes or their families to the disease of addiction. Of the health care legislation in Washington, he said, “Never have so few been so cruel to so many."
Bettina Tweardy Riveros, chief health equity officer and senior vice president for government affairs and community engagement at Christiana Care Health Systems, said 70% of the patients the health care system sees for addiction-related issues are covered by Medicaid. “Community partners like Connections and Brandywine Counseling provide ongoing treatment, medication-assisted therapy and other therapies to support these individuals,” she said. “Without access to Medicaid, that infrastructure is at risk of falling apart."

The debate over the Affordable Care Act (ACA) should focus on one goal: don’t harm people. But repealing the ACA without a replacement has consequences that will hurt people across the U.S., as we describe in our new report, "GOP's Waterloo? 10 Consequences of Repealing the ACA" available here: bit.ly/2j0m92J

Manistee County
Pleasanton Township
.
The residents of the western part of the Township, an area including most of the Canadian immigrants from Iona, were dissatisfied with the lack of an adequate public hall. In consequence a group of citizens met on February 3rd, 1880, with the following intent: "Whereas there has long been felt the necessity of a building or Hall, for public purposes in the township of Pleasanton, Therefore be it resolved, That we associate ourselves together as a joint stock Co. for the purpose of erecting such building and such Co. shall be known as the Pleasanton Union Hall Co., Said building to be located one mile west of Pleasanton Center."
.
In less than a month, one hundred fifty dollars were subscribed to the new Company and it was decided to commence construction at once. A building measuring 22 by 40 feet was agreed upon and Rufus Lumley was asked to provide additional specifications. He proposed walls 12 feet high sheathed on the inside and sided on the outside. Hewn timbers were used for the foundation but sawn joists and rafters were specified. Eight windows (each with eight 12 by 16 inch lights) were used, three in each side and two in the south end of the building. There was to be a single door in the south end.
.
It required at least two years to complete the building located in the southeast corner of section 17 on property leased for a hundred years from Seth Bailey. The building was far enough along by September 13, 1880 for the meeting of the Company to be held inside. At about the same time a dance was the first social event held in the new hall.
.
Early in 1882, the Company added up their expenses and found they had spent $331.43 on the nearly completed building. 100 chairs were ordered from Hannah & Lay at Traverse City for $35.42 with an additional $2.55 for freight by boat to Frankfort and $5.00 for drayage to the Hall. In the following year another $58.00 was spent to finish the building. Thus for a total of $432.40 the citizens of West Pleasanton had their public hall.
.
It appears Union Hall received very heavy use in its early years causing almost immediate abandonment of the old Congregational Church. Revival meetings as well as religious activities of three churches -the Methodists, the Congregationalists, and the Baptists - were held in the building. All township meetings were held there and the community social activity seems to have been centered at the Hall. Oyster suppers, dances, neck-tie parties, traveling and peep shows were held there. Organizations like the Grand Templars, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, the Democrat Club and the Republican Club all met in the Hall at various times. As time passed, the building saw less and less use until, in 1921, it was presented as a gift to the Township by the original Company.

Plan Japan have 'Raised their Hands to Support Quality Education for Girls.'
Globally, 1 in 3 girls around the world are denied their right to an education by the daily realities of poverty,
violence and discrimination. Not only is this unjust. It’s also a serious waste of potential with serious global
consequences.
Supporting girls’ education is one of the single best investments we can make to help end poverty. It will save
lives. It will transform futures. It will unleash the incredible potential of girls and their communities.
Over the next five years, Plan’s ‘Because I am a Girl’ campaign aims to support 4 million girls to get the
education, skills and support they need to transform their lives and the world around them.

“I know a planet where there is a certain red –faced gentleman.
He has never smelled a flower.
He has never looked at a star.
He has never loved any one.
He has never done anything in his life but add up figures.
And all day he says over and over, just like you: ‘I am busy with matters of consequence!’
And that makes him swell up with pride.
But he is not a man – he is a mushroom!”
“A what?”
“A mushroom!”
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
