Minnesota Community forum helpsMETH ALERT: Minnesota Community forum helps spread word on dangers of methamphetamine labs The fact that drugs may have been involved in the May 29 triple homicide in Pillager is enough for Linda Wilcox.
Wilcox, who lives across the road from the mobile home in the Big Water residential area where the murders took place, wants her neighbors to be more aware of possible drug activity and to report what they see to law enforcement officials.
That's why Wilcox attended a community forum on neighborhood methamphetamine labs Monday night at the Brainerd Elks Club. She wants to take the information back to her city and county.
"People need to be aware of this type of stuff and they need to call the authorities," said Wilcox.
The forum, attended by more than 50 people, was hosted by the Crow Wing County Department of Health and featured Deborah Durkin, with the site assessment and consultation unit of the Minnesota Department of Health.
Durkin has been traveling Minnesota spreading the word about the dangers methamphetamine labs pose, and lobbying for a comprehensive local response to lab cleanup.
Methamphetamine is a mixture of amphetamines -- commonly called uppers -- with any number of other chemicals used to create a new drug. It's growing in popularity because it is relatively easy to produce, easy to sell and is perhaps one of the most addictive narcotics being used.
Methamphetamine is made mostly from common household ingredients. When these ingredients are mixed and cooked together they make a dangerous drug and potentially harmful chemical mixtures that can remain on household surfaces for months or years.
In Crow Wing County, Minnesota last year about 40 methamphetamine-related arrests were made, and that number doesn't include many crimes related to the use and manufacturing of methamphetamine, including burglary, robbery and assaults, said Andy Galles, Crow Wing County Sheriff's deputy and Lakes Area Drug Investigative Division narcotics agent.
"We're seeing a huge influx, a lot of people coming from the Twin Cities and St. Cloud to cook," said Galles. "There's not a lot of people up here, they (methamphetamine manufacturers) think the cops are stupid, that they're not going to get caught. The truth is we're making a lot of arrests."
There is no state law requiring methamphetamine labs be cleaned up, though half the counties in the state, including Crow Wing, have ordinances in the works. Durkin said what's driving the ordinances is the injuries and health problems suffered by local law enforcement, emergency and other government personnel responding to methamphetamine labs.
Collaboration between county departments is critical in dealing with lab cleanup, said Durkin. She spoke with about 200 Crow Wing County professionals at two meetings earlier Monday.
"It's impossible to separate one agency from the other, that's the nitty-gritty message," said Durkin. "We've got to work together on this. This is not your average drug problem."
But the dangers don't stop with professionals.
Durkin has heard too many stories about people moving into a house that was once a methamphetamine lab, becoming sick and not knowing what to do. She wants the public to be aware of what a methamphetamine lab looks like and how they should respond.
"This isn't just a job for me, it's a mission," said Durkin, noting people exposed to drug residues even months and years after the lab is gone can experience health problems. "I feel strongly about it."
The problem is two-fold for Arlene Courneya. Both her home in Crosslake and another house in South St. Paul, Minnesota were next door to houses with methamphetamine labs in them.
"It's scary," said Courneya. "I want to find out how it's made, what to look for and if it'll be cleaned up. I'm very concerned."
Residents can do their part in combating methamphetamine. Durkin said people should be willing to talk to retailers who sell the precursors to methamphetamine, watch for methamphetamine waste products -- empty containers of lye, ammonia, antifreeze, ether, starting fluids, paint thinner, acetone, or alcohol; broken lithium batteries; packaging from over-the-counter ephedrine or pseudoephedrine cold pills among other things -- on the side of roads or in the garbage and insist on local cleanup ordinances and protection of children in homes in which the drug is being or was made. "Talk to those who make and maintain the laws," said Durkin.
People also should look for strange odors coming from a house, blacked out windows, vents in strange places, outside surveillance systems and traffic going and coming at all hours.
Anyone who sees something suspicious should call their local police or the Crow Wing County, Minnesota Sheriff's Department, Galles noted.
