Truth Pharm to unveil mural during First Friday event
Truth Pharm recently completed a mural on the exterior of its building at 49 Pine Street in Binghamton.
The project was led by Truth Pharm's Arts and Aesthetics Lead and designer of the mural, Mia Hause.
The brightly colored image features three figures that represent activism, cross-generational collaboration, and healthy living, as well as flowers and insects native to the local area, representing living in harmony with the environment.
Truth Pharm aims to 'build a more just future' with new mural
With the help of community members, volunteers, staff, and Rainmakers, the project took around three weeks to complete.
The mural was made possible by a $2,000 grant from Ithaca Mural's Thriving Future initiative.
The mural will be unveiled during an open house as part of Binghamton's First Friday art walk. From 6 to 10 p.m., those in attendance can check out the mural while enjoying speakers and performers as well as Narcan training and refreshments. Hause will speak about the project as part of a Speakers' Jam at 7:30.

New drug called "flysky" is spreading throughout the Pittsburgh area, authorities say
A new drug called "flysky" has been spreading throughout the Pittsburgh region, and officials are warning that it can be deadly. In Fayette County over the last few days, there have been at least two overdose deaths from the drug. The drug, as it is sometimes labeled on bags sold on the street, is heroin laced with medetomidine, a tranquilizer used in veterinary medicine. Fayette County District Attorney Michael Aubele says that users need to be aware that this drug can be lethal. "My understanding is that medetomidine is a drug that is not affected by Narcan. So if you overdose on medetomidine, Narcan is not going to save you," Aubele said. Aubele says that anyone who may have a bag of flysky can turn it into authorities at several places in the county, including local police stations and the Crime Stoppers office, with no questions asked. He also says that not only are local and state police working to get these drugs off the streets, but that his office will prosecute those who are responsible for delivering these drugs into their community. "We want people to be safe. We want everybody to be alive and to be healthy. You just don't know what you are getting anymore on the street," Aubele added. Not only is this drug popping up in Fayette County and the Pittsburgh area, but it is also being seen in places like Philadelphia and Chicago. For more information on this substance, click here.

Mother, grandmother arrested in Santa Rosa after baby is exposed to fentanyl
Santa Rosa police arrested a mother and grandmother after an 11-month-old baby was exposed to fentanyl in their care, authorities said Tuesday. On Sunday, Shaylynne Watson, a 35-year-old Lake County resident, brought her four children, ages 11 months to nine years, to her mother's apartment on the 2000 block of Range Avenue, police said. Her mother was identified by authorities as 54-year-old Beverly Hansel of Santa Rosa. At one point, Watson's 11-month-old baby picked up some white substance Watson believed to be fentanyl, authorities said. When Hansel, who was with the three other children in another room, found out, she administered Narcan to the baby, authorities said. Neither woman called 911 to seek medical aid for the baby, police said. About five hours later, Watson brought the child to a nearby hospital, where a preliminary medical examination determined that the baby was exposed to fentanyl, authorities said. The baby was treated for fentanyl exposure and released from the hospital. Officers later executed a search warrant at Hansel's apartment, where they discovered an assortment of narcotics paraphernalia, pills, methamphetamine and black tar heroin, authorities said. Both women were booked into the Sonoma County Main Adult Detention Facility on suspicion of child endangerment. Hansel also was booked on a misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
