		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES Special Report NEWS ANALYSIS It almost seems like ancient history in the long battle over opioid drug abuse in Cecil County to see newly disclosed federal statistics on the flood of painkiller pills from 2006-2012, when more than 36 million pills were dispensed in the county—or enough to supply 51 pills to each and every resident per year. But new data showing the extent of the avalanche of drugs dumped locally is still shocking, even as the drug crisis has moved to a new battleground, waged on needle-strewn streets and using anti-overdose nasal sprays aimed at saving the lives of those now addicted to heroin and fentanyl. The Washington Post waged a long freedom of information court battle to obtain records from a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) database, covering all opioid pills dispensed between 2006 and 2012, including the names of the manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies that delivered the opioid pills, such as oxycodone and its brand-name version, OxyContin A Post team created its own searchable database, broken down by states and counties, from the DEA data that was released last week. The Post reported that its team sifted through nearly 380 million transactions and analyzed shipments [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wearing a mourning band around his Sheriff’s badge to honor the sadly growing roster of recently murdered law enforcement officers across the nation, Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams warned the Cecil County Council on Tuesday that despite gains in preventing fatal overdoses and heightened enforcement efforts against drug traffickers, there are “scary” trends in the illegal drug world that could worsen the drug abuse problem in the county. Compounding the problem has been a time-lag in “trend” and “threat assessment” information from federal agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), that makes data available long after police on the streets are seeing quickly shifting patterns in illegal drugs sold by dealers. “The trends change so quickly,” Adams said, and a growing threat is fentanyl—a powerful opioid and anesthetic that dealers are mixing with heroin&#8211;that had previously bypassed Cecil County. But in 2015, there were 7 fentanyl drug deaths in Cecil County—a sharp increase from the 1 death recorded in 2014 and zero deaths in the county due to fentanyl in 2013. So far this year, there has already been 1 fentanyl-related death in Cecil County during the first four months of the year, according to new state health data [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A CECIL TIMES SPECIAL REPORT The state Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners has fined A Buddy for Life, which handles animal control for Cecil County under a more than $2.25 million contract, for operating its rented animal shelter in Elkton without a required state license for a year. The state panel also imposed fines and license sanctions involving drug laws against Mindy Carletti, a Perryville veterinarian who provides services and has financial ties to the Buddy group. Meanwhile, a dog, “Brittany”&#8211; that mauled a woman providing the Buddies-owned dog with a temporary foster home and that killed her pet Chihuahua with such violence that its eyeball flew out of its socket&#8211; was recently offered for adoption again by the group in online postings without mentioning the pet’s death or the violent attack on the woman. And in its latest financial reports to the county, the Buddies have found yet another fiscal gimmick to try to justify the $60,000 a month the county gives the group: claiming IRS car usage reimbursement rates for use of a personal vehicle for business purposes. But the county owns the two trucks it bought for the Buddies, who only pay $1 a year each to [&#8230;]]]></description>
