County-owned drone has set down in a new office EMA gives flying device to sheriff BY DAN CHURNEY Shaw Media A LaSalle County-owned drone has changed hands. Connie Brooks, director of the county’s Emergency Management Agency, told the county board’s public safety committee recently that her agency has given its camera-equipped drone to the sheriff ’s office. Brooks explained she obtained the drone with a grant a few years ago, to gather information during disasters, but the device needs two operators and her agency only has two employees. As a result, Brooks said it would not be practical during an emergency to use the drone. Further, neither Brooks nor Deputy Director Fred Moore are licensed to fly the drone, which is now required. Brooks said she decided to give the drone to the sheriff ’s office because the sheriff has a licensed drone pilot. She also wanted to keep the device in county service. In a June story in The Times, LaSalle County Sheriff Tom Templeton said his department has utilized drones a few times. Once was to search for a woman believed to be

The drone was borrowed from a deputy sheriff, who privately owned it. The other drone deployment was more spectacular. Last year, an armed Jeffery Sorrentino held off police from inside

his Peru home. Police were negotiating with him by phone, but the man’s cellphone battery was dying. A cellphone was attached to a drone flown above the home and was lowered on a line, where Sorrentino grabbed it through a window. He eventually surrendered.

LASALLE COUNTY

IN BRIEF

Opioid problem persists in county

Templeton elected to economic development group’s board

Almost 180 overdoses reported as of Dec. 20 SHAW MEDIA During the 1950s, about 50 to 60 people died on the roads every year in LaSalle County. To focus attention on the carnage, The Daily Republican-Times in Ottawa kept a running count on the front page. In 2017 in LaSalle County, there were 179 opioid overdoses, with 40 fatal, compared to 18 traffic deaths. To compare the totals for the other counties of the Illinois Valley, there were only three opioid overdoses in Bureau County and two in Putnam County in 2017. Statewide during that period, there was a total of 2,202 opioid overdoses. As of Dec. 20, 2018, 109 overdoses were reported in LaSalle County, with 32 county residents having died, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. A state spokeswoman cautioned these numbers could rise, because data from the second half of 2018

was still being reported. Keeping count of each opioid death on front page of a newspaper would be out of step with current attitudes, but other efforts are underway. After a slowdown a few years ago, the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Narcotics Team has come back strong, popping up all over the region to make drug busts. The agents then deliver defendants to the court system, where LaSalle County State’s Attorney Karen Donnelly has vowed to treat addicts with more subtlety. A chief component of her approach is drug court, to be followed by mental health court, although the two may prove to be almost interchangeable. Fewer people claim these days drug abuse is a moral failing. Instead, the view is taking hold that drug abusers need help, not handcuffs. A law that took effect Jan. 1 in Illinois will encourage police agencies, such as Tri-DENT, to

refrain from automatically putting users in criminal court, instead “deflecting” such persons into treatment programs and facilities. The law is called the Community-Law Enforcement Partnership for Deflection and Substance Abuse Disorder Treatment Act. The act gives funds to police agencies to develop deflection programs. “There is a benefit to get addicts into treatment and out of the criminal justice system. It will be difficult for participants, but the end result will be well worth it. We hope people are willing to better themselves through the resources we’ll offer,” Donnelly has said. The resuscitative drug Narcan also continues to pull overdose victims back from the brink, but nonetheless, opioids still cause deaths on a battlefield scale. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported almost as many Americans die each year in the United States from opioids, than died during the entire Vietnam War.

IN BRIEF LaSalle County traffic deaths decline in 2018 OTTAWA — LaSalle County traffic deaths dropped in 2018. There were nine crashes last year, in which nine people died in LaSalle County. In 2017 there were 18 deaths. In three of 2018’s deaths, the victims had alcohol and/or drugs in their systems, according to the county coroner’s office. In 2018, there were two other LaSalle County crash victims, who were taken to OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria, where they died; their deaths are listed with Peoria County’s figures. Since 2000 in LaSalle County, the highest number of deaths was 34 in 2007, with 11 the lowest in 2012. Livingston County had eight traffic deaths in 2018 and 10 in 2017. — Shaw Media
