By MATTHEW PERRONE AP Health Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — A panel of government health advisers said Friday there’s no clear evidence that a harder- to-crush version of the painkiller OxyContin designed to discourage abuse actually resulted in fewer overdoses or deaths. The conclusion from the Food and Drug Administra- tion advisory panel comes more than a decade after Purdue Pharma revamped its blockbuster opioid, which has long been blamed for sparking a surge in painkiller abuse begin- ning in the 1990s. In a series of non-binding votes, the FDA experts said that the updated OxyContin appeared to cut down abuse via snorting and injecting, compared to the original drug. But panelists overwhelmingly ruled that data from Purdue and other researchers did not show that the reformulation curbed abuse overall or led to fewer overdoses. Above, Steve Abbett, an eighth-grade Language Arts teacher, focuses on virtual students for a moment during his lecture on Sept. 2. Below, Amy Rusu, sixth-grade writing teacher, asks virtual students to give her a thumbs up if they Panelists said the shortcomings were due, in part, to the understand the assignment.

Someone asked me if I was going Saturday’s Sub to write a book. “Hmm. Hadn’t thought of that,” I replied, “but it kinda feels like I already have.” They were referring to my recent series of articles and at least one other Saturday essay about the early years of what is now Bi-County Services. Another chapter was added during this past week after Marvin and Kae Mark Miller Taylor from Monroe reached out to share their story about getting the workshop services going in the mid-1960s. There have been other phone calls, several emails and Phil and Carol Fosnaugh found an enlightening 1966 article in the Berne Witness that hopefully will lead to other articles from the early ‘60s. Glenna Plummer shared her experiences as a bus driver for the Southern Wells schools in the 1970s. She would pick up about a half-dozen students on her route and then meet an Adams County bus in Linn Grove and then take them all to Vera Cruz —usually about a dozen or so, she believes. She’d reverse that route each after- noon. One day, she thinks it was in the late 70s, the Vera Cruz teachers were shorthanded and asked her to spend the afternoon as a teacher’s aide. It became a regular, volunteer position she gladly filled for several years. She brought up a name I recognized— Noel Reed was the school’s leader then and also a pastor of a Decatur D.C.’s football team can look to church. Glenna knew the Fosnaugh family well and verified that Diane Fosnaugh was the object of teasing which Congress for its new name began the trail of events that resulted in the school’s Washington’s NFL team, until recently known as to an executive branch bureaucrat, the CDC opening, as shared in earlier entries.
