Fentanyl a truly deadly addiction
In the mid-1990s, the fentanyl patch was created for chronic pain relief and since then, other forms of fentanyl, such as sprays and tablets, have entered the market.
On the street, it is sold in a variety of forms, including powders, blotter papers, and tablets mixed with other prescription and non-prescription drugs.
Fentanyl was designed to only be prescribed in cases of chronic or breakthrough pain, typically experienced by cancer patients. Doctors also occasionally prescribed it to patients with severe or chronic pain who had become tolerant to milder opioid pain medications.
According to the DEA, 1 out of every 10 teens reported using prescription pain medications to get high at least once in the last year. From 2004 to 2010, emergency room visits resulting from prescription medication abuse in children younger than 20 years old rose by 45%.3
Clearly, the lives of America’s teenagers are increasingly endangered when they unknowingly purchase counterfeit medications on the streets that contain fentanyl, since it can be fatal in frighteningly small doses.

Clearly, the lives of America’s teenagers are increasingly endangered when they unknowingly purchase counterfeit medications on the streets that contain fentanyl, since it can be fatal in frighteningly small doses.
Understanding what fentanyl is and how it lands in teenagers’ hands, then, is of utmost importance in protecting them from its dangers.
Perhaps most disturbing is the trend of teens abusing fentanyl and experiencing its treacherous effects on the mind and body.
Fentanyl analogues may be hundreds of times more potent than street heroin, and tend to produce significantly more respiratory depression, making it much more dangerous than heroin to users. Fentanyl is used orally, smoked, snorted, or injected. Fentanyl is sometimes sold as heroin, often leading to overdoses. Many fentanyl overdoses are initially classified as heroin overdoses
Death from fentanyl overdose was declared a public health crisis in Canada in September 2015, and it continues to be a significant public health issue. In 2016, deaths from fatal fentanyl overdoses in British Columbia, Canada, averaged two persons per day.
On Friday evening Butler Police along with Bates County EMS responded to a Fentanyl related overdose were 2 people were life flighted to Kansas City Hospitals. The two people are expected to recover.

Major rebuilding ahead at Frontier Village in Adrian
 |
| Several tractors and other machinery were damaged at Frontier Village in Adrian last week |
As seen by the photos, most of the carnage was contained to the low lying areas which mainly affected the miniature railroad- ripping up the track and damaging equipment stored in a building as well.
Members of the Western Missouri Antique Tractor and Machinery Association have kicked repair efforts into high gear and plan to have things restored and 'back to normal' as soon as possible.
There will be a work day this Sunday, August 6th starting around 9 am. Anyone that can help clean up brush, debris, trash, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
