Sen. Chris Coons hosted a roundtable discussion on the opioid crisis with James Carroll, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, on Aug. 23 at UD’s Tower at STAR with more than 200 people in attendance. “The tragic reality is that the crisis has gotten worse,” Sen. Coons said. When he asked how many people in the room have been impacted by addiction, almost every hand went up. Highlights of the discussion, which included Public Health Director Dr. Karyl Rattay:
•Director Carroll: He said an estimated 20 million Americans need treatment. He supports medication-assisted treatment because “it keeps people healthy and alive.” He said his office will be bringing in insurers in September to talk about parity for substance use disorder treatment with physical health treatment.
•Dr. Rattay: She said DHSS sounded the alarm in 2011 when the first wave of the crisis hit with deaths involving prescription painkillers. The second wave involved heroin and today’s third wave – the deadliest so far – is driven by fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, that Director Carroll said is mainly manufactured in China. She said the key is connecting people to treatment. “How do we engage people in our (health care) systems … where they don’t feel stigmatized?”
•Dr. Sandy Gibney from Saint Francis: She and Lt. Governor Bethany Hall-Long have handed out 2,000 doses of naloxone to people in need across the state in targeted neighborhoods based on overdose trends. She has been advocating with fellow emergency departments to begin people who have overdosed on MAT right away and connect them to treatment through the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health’s Delaware Treatment and Referral Network (DTRN).
•Dan Maas with New Castle County’s Hero Help: Since the county started Hero Help, a referral-to-treatment for people who are suffering from addiction and have committed low-level crimes, the work with individuals and families has shown a lot of promise.
•Attorney General Kathy Jennings: She said her office is “diverting as many people into treatment as we safely can.” And getting naloxone into the hands of as many people as possible.
•Dave Humes with atTAcK addiction, who lost his son to an accidental heroin overdose: He said 79% of overdoses happen in a home and only 7% of those homes have naloxone. His goal is to get naloxone into more people’s hands.
•Rita Landgraf, director of UD’s Partnership for Healthy Communities: “This epidemic belongs to all of us.”

In a crowd driven nearly mad with blood lust and racism, these lone protestors are taking a stand against boxing itself.
Following Johnson's triumph wide spread riots took place in the US. Hundreds were hurt and 26 people killed. Most of the victims were black.

And whatever is done or said returns at last to me."...Walt Whitman

18 year old Gettysburg resident Daniel Skelly on the Confederate victory and Federal retreat the evening of July 1st, 1863.
When our forces were being driven back through the town in the afternoon, I went home feeling that everything was lost and throughout my life I have never felt more despondent.
One of the regiments of the Iron Brigade (I think the 19th Indiana) in falling back through town about 4 o’clock in the afternoon passed our house on West Middle street (the site of the present Kendlehart residence). As they turned into West Middle street from Washington street (at the Jacobs corner), one of the lieutenants was wounded in the foot but kept up with his regiment until he reached our house. He was unable to go any further. He came into the yard. Separating the Bowen house next door and ours, there was an areaway used by both or our families and at the Bowen house was an old-fashioned cellar door standing open. He took off his sword and pistol and sword belt.
He hobbled down with his belt and pistol and his them in the cellar and then came up to get his sword, when the Confederates came into the yard and made him a prisoner, taking his sword away from him. My mother, standing in our kitchen doorway, seeing he was wounded, asked the Confederates to allow him to come into our house and who would care for him. They allowed him to come and then continued in pursuit of our retreating forces. My mother took him into on of the inner rooms and kept him there without the Confederates (who afterward formed a line of battle in front of our house) finding it out. After the battle he was taken to one of the hospitals. In a week or more he was convalescent and came to see us on his way to join his regiment. He sent me over to the Bowen cellar to get his accoutrements and presented them to me saying that when he got to Washington he would a new outfit. We never heard from him afterwards, although thousands of veterans of this engagement revisited the battlefields for years after the conflict, hunting up friends who had ministered to them when they were wounded, or looking up the locations of their regiment during the battle days. They related many interesting incidents which occurred. But out wounded visitor of the first of July, 1863, never came back.
When I went out in front of the house about 7 o’clock in the evening the Confederate line of battle had been formed on East and West Middle streets, Rodes’ Division of Ewell’s Corps lying right in front of our house.
We were now in the hands of the enemy and in passing, I want to pay a tribute to these veterans of the Confederate Army. They were under perfect discipline. They were in and about our yard and used our kitchen stove by permission of my mother. The were gentlemanly and courteous to us at all times, and I never heard an instance to the contrary in Gettysburg.
We settled down quietly this night. There was no noise or confusion among the Confederate soldiers sleeping on the pavement below our windows and we all enjoyed a good night’s rest after the feverish anxiety of the first day’s battle.

"With the cost of rent driven up by gentrification, plus childcare, healthcare and other bills, $8/hour is not enough to survive in Oakland. Mayor Jean Quan says Oakland is “rising” but the lowest paid workers, who are more likely to be people of color and women, are left behind."
