Manchin
Senator Joe Manchin (D-
WV) applauded the passage of a
comprehensive opioid bill out of
the Senate Health, Edv.cation,
Labor and Pensions Committee.
The .Opioid Crisis Response Act
of 2018 includes nine provisions
that Senator Manchin has pushed
to help end the opioid epidemic.
These include the reauthorization
of funding, particularly for hard
hit States like West Virginia,
efforts to improve communication
between patients and medical
professionals, funding to expand
access to treatment, and provisions
to strengthen the FDA's response
to the opioid crisis, improve youth
prevention efforts and encourage
the use of prescription drug
monitoring programs.
"I applaud the passage of this
comprehensive opioid legislation
out of the Senate HELP Committee.
Not only will this bill make sure
our government agencies are
coordinating their efforts, which
is long overdue, but it includes
solutions to help reduce the indirect
damage this crisis has caused to
children, families and communities
in our state. This bill does not
include everything that we need
though. When this bill comes before
the full Senate, I will be working
to include mandatory prescriber
education on the dangers of opioid
abuse and addiction, full inclusion
of the Legacy Act to ensure quality
care coordination, and inclusion
of the LifeBOAT Act to create a
permanent funding stream for
substance use disorder treatment
centers. West Virginia is ground
zero of the opioid epidemic, and I
have been working to make sure
that solutions important to fighting
this crisis in West Virginia were
included in this bipartisan opioid
bill," Senator Manchin said.
The Opioid Crisis Response Act of
2018 is bipartisan opioid legislation
that will improve the ability of the
Departments of Education, Labor,
over 30 scholarship funds within
the Hinton Area Foundation.

his Provisions
and Health and Human Services
(HHS), including the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), the
National Institutes ofHealth
(NIH), the Centers forDisease
Control and Prevention(CDC),
the Health Resources and Service
Administration (HRSA), and the
Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), to address the" crisis,
including the ripple effects of the
crisis on children, families, and
communities, and improve data
sharingbetween states.
Senator Manchin championed
the following provisions that were
included:
Opioid funding for hard hit
states: Reauthorizes and makes
improvements to the State
Targeted Opioid Response (STR)
program to help states better fight
the opioid epidemic, including
updates to the formula. Similar to
the Opioid Response Enharrcement
Act (S. 2437) and Targeted Opioid
Funding Act (S. 2125), which
Senator Manchin has cosponsored.
Improving communication and
information sharing between
medical professionals and patients:
Includes language to better
facilitate quality coordinated care
for individuals with a history of
substance use disorder treatment,
but does not go far enough.
Includes Jessie's Law, which
passed as part of the FY18 omnibus
spending bill.
Touches on the Protecting
Jessica Grubb's Legacy Act (S.
1850) by requiring HHS to provide
materials for . training medical
professionals in the safe sharing of
substance use disorder treatment
records, but does not solve the
underlying problem regarding the
need for access to treatment records
for coordinated care that would be
solved by passing the Legacy Act.
Improving Access to Treatment
and Recovery: The bill establishes
a grant program to create
comprehensive opioid recovery
centers in hard hit communities. .
Senator Manchin introduced
the LifeBOAT Act to establish
a funding stream to fund efforts
"to provide and expand access to
substance use disorder treatment
and recovery. To pay for this
treatment, this bill would establish
a 1-cent fee on each milligram of
opioid in a pain pill. Including the
LifeBOAT Act would strengthen
the bill's efforts to improve access
to recovery services.
Improving FDA Response to
the Opioid Crisis: Strengthens
the FDA's response to the crisis
in several ways including by
supporting the development of
non-opioid pain treatments and
by pushing the agency to do more
to consider the risks of drugs that
may be misused or abused.
Senator Manchin-has pushed
for research funding for non-opioid
pain treatments through NIH, the
VA, and other federal agencies.
Senator Manchin sent a letter
to the FDA urging them to review
all opioid medications to take into
account the public health risks of
these dangerous drugs.
Examining Opioid Prescription
Limits: Requires the Secretary of
HHS to issue a report on limiting
opioid prescriptions.
Senator Manchin is a cosponsor
of the Opioid Addiction Prevention
Act of 2017 (S. 892), which would
limit initial opioid prescriptions for
acute pain to no more than 7 days.
Improving Youth Prevention
and Recovery Services: Includes
grant funding to strengthen youth
prevention and recovery services,
particularly in schools.
Senator Manchin has pushed
for increased education on the
dangers of opioids, particularly for
youth. His successful amendment
to CARA targeted resources to
consumer education and his

BARNS OF SUMMERS COUNTY- west virginia Heritage
An extract from the book for your enjoyment
By Phyllis Campbell Whitley
MARTIN BARN ON SHANKLIN'S FERRY ROAD AT BOZOO
Hobert and Ola Clowers were
living at their farm in the Bozoo
community when his uncle, Stanley
Ferguson, built their barn for them
in the late 1930's.
The Clowers' sons George Edward
and Virgil cut bull pine trees on the
farm for the structure. Hobert's
brother-in-law Obie McClaugherty
set up his sawmill at the property
and sawed all the lumber.
Large peach and apple orchards
surrounded the barn. The fruit was
stored in the barn and people came
from surrounding communities to
purchase the fruit.
After the Clowers, a family
named Lemon owned the farm.
Called "Cloverdale Farm", it'was
then owned by Howard and Ruth
(Hinkley) Burgess,
The farm then passed on to Cecil
and Pauline (Burgess) Martin,
the current owners of the farm on
Shanklin's Ferry Road (Forest Hill
District).
Local lore indicates the
community got its name when a
group of citizens was selecting a
name for their new post office.
The post office department
rejected their first choice of
"Chestnut Hill" as there was
already a post office of that name
in the state.
Ensuing meetings could not.come
to a consensus for a name. One of
the committee members became
frustrated and said something like,
"my bozoo is up".
The group took this to be his
choice and submitted the name. The
postal service accepted the name as
no other place in the United States
claimed it.
