Riders take break in Petersburg Mike Russell and Mike Evans stopped in Petersburg on Monday at about noon to catch their breath and re- check their route. The two Terre Haute residents are spending the next few days riding around southern Indi- ana. The pair drove to French Lick on Saturday. On Sunday, they rode to Jasper and then Monday, headed to Petersburg. Evans said they hoped to go near the Illinois state line and then circle back on a more southern route to Jasper. "We ride about 50 miles a day," said Russell. After a day's ride, they stop and camp overnight before heading out on the road the next day. Russell makes custom steel bike frames under the name Mike's Metalworks.

National Institute on Drug Abuse. Baumgart and Pike Coun- ty Deputy Sheriff Jared Sim- mons both said there have been a few arrests in the last five or so years for possession of heroin, but it is starting to show up much more often in the county recently. Pike County Prosecutor Darrin McDonald said it has been a big problem in Wash- ington, Vincennes and Evans- ville, but seldom showed up here until recently. "It (fentanyl) is very dan- gerous. Just a few grains of it can kill you," said Baumgart. He said when people use her- oin that is laced with fentan- yl, they don't know how much is in it. He said it attacks the involuntary nervous system, causing the involuntary mus- cles that make you breathe shutdown. He said victims of it just stop breathing. Deputy Simmons said meth users in the area are switching to heroin because it is cheaper than meth. He also said the us- ers want it to be laced with fen- tanyl, but it is extremely dan- gerous. He said some want the heroin laced with fentanyl be- cause it a better high, but it is much more dangerous, be- cause it is so strong. "They are used to using meth and they don't know how much they can use compared to meth. The same amount of heroin can kill you." Chief Baumgart stressed if people see a family member with it, they should call po- lice because it is so danger- ous, the likelihood of an over- dose is high.
