The first two stores built in East Enterprise were built by Daniel Heath JR a revolutionary war veteran from Mass.He built one for himself and one for his daughter angeline across the road where riemans store used to be She sold dresses and dry goods His father Daniel Heath came to America when he was young settled in Mass. where some of his 17 children were born. Daniel Heath who settled near East Enterprise donated the land for New Liberty Cemetery and his home place was the property where the oaks family used to live I think Riemans own it now He then moved to the west of East Enterprise and started a town Allensville named after his son Allen William Heath who got killed in the war of 1812 East Enterprise had the first newspaper in the county ran by Daniel Heath who owned the first printing press. East Enterprise Had a really nice park at one time. The last living owner was Paul Dean Lockwood (Chocky) as he was called. He donated the land to the East Enterprise Fire Department The park was a home for many years to the East Enterprise Ohio County fair. Having upwards of 6000 visitors a day during the fair. The Heath GAR lodge building used to stand on the NW corner of the intersection in town it was torn down to make a parking lot. It was named after Daniel Heats son who died in the war of 1812 so east Enterprise has been here longer than Indiana has been a state lol A lot of the oldest houses are being bought by the amish and torn down and now the state will get the rest of the town due to HWY 101 being brought through it. A real shame so much history will be lost. There isa real estate developer trying to buy up everyones homes along the route of the Highway. I assume to get rich. I wish the state would go a little east of the town and preserve whats left of it It has a lot of history as does Allensville a very famous surgeon was from Allensville. There used to be a sign there telling about him. sources: Fred Lockwood Lifelong resident about 2/10s of a mile from the house he was born in and a history book in Rising Sun Library which now may be in the museum in Rising sun. Its a shame the county doesn’t seem to care about East Enterprise It has a lot of rich history as does Allensville Indiana also. The very first post office in East Enterprise was also run by Danie Heath in part of the store across from Daniel Heaths store most recently was called Riemans grocery but used to be Angeline Heath Lockwoods dry goods store. Jennie Lockwood ran the store. Where S N S grocery is now used to be Brunners Hatchery and Fred Lockwood worked there as a young man long before there were social security taxes He and Opal A, Scudder were married July 28th 1915 and lived in the same house their whole married life of 73 years. It is a shame that all the old people are gone and so many city folk and amish are there now so it is quite different than it used to be. I wish the fire dept would open up the park again. It used to have 80 acres deemed a park Im sure it isn’t that big now, so you see East Enterprise was quite the place to be in its hey day. It used to have 3 drs in town Fred and opal borrowed Dr Jonas Halls buggy to go to Vevay for ice-cream on their wedding day. The Brown family used to have a feed mill out 250 a piece. It burnt down many years ago and was a meeting place for all the old farmers of the area. The little white house and big red barn just to the south of the water town belonged to Fred Lockwoods parents Oliver Perry and nez Ricketts Lockwood. It was moved there on logs by teams of horses from the sallie lockwood farm where I think the Johnsons own now There used to be a very nice home there but I think Mr Johnson tore it down when he bought the place many years ago The house on the north side of S N S Grocery was built by Samuel Lockwood many years ago it was the telephone exchange in the 60s then they built the new exchaned across from the park/fire dept. THERE USED TO BE A PLASTIC MOLDING PLANT CALLED pmc A lot of ppl fred knew worked there including his great great grandson. They have their stray animal shelter there now I was surprised since you can see the contaminated ground in aerial pictures of the site. Fred Lockwoods great granddaughter wrote and book of poetry in 1974 It was called Truckstop Tales. It is out of print now . It was mostly love poetry. She was a good poet.

What are the DOT drug testing requirements?

In 1991, the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act created the following DOT Agencies which established drug and alcohol testing regulations to ensure that aircraft, trains, trucks, and buses were operated in a safe and responsible manner. As an employer or individual operating in a "Safety Sensitive" position, it is important to understand how these regulations impact you.

49 CFR Part 40 (commonly known as part 40) explains:

  • How drug and alcohol testing is conducted
  • Who is authorized to participate in the drug and alcohol testing program
  • What employees must do before they may return to duty after a drug and/or alcohol violation

Each DOT Agency and the USCG have specific regulations that cover:

  • The agency's prohibitions on drug and alcohol use
  • Who is subject to comply with these regulations
  • What type of testing is required
  • When testing is required
  • Consequences of non-compliance

FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) amended its rule that would establish requirements for commercial driver's license employers and individuals with regards to the drug and alcohol clearing house which will take affect on January 6, 2020.

The FMCSA Clearinghouse is a secure online database that will allow employers, the FMCSA, State Driver Licensing Agencies, State Law Enforcement and individual CDL operators to access real time important information about a CDL Driver's drug and alcohol program violations and the ultimate goal of this database is to enhance safety on our Nation's public roadways.

The Opioid Overdose Crisis

Every day, more than 130 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids. The misuse of and addiction to opioids,including prescription pain relievers, heroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, is a serious national crisis that affects public health as well as social and economic welfare. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the total "economic burden" of prescription opioid misuse alone in the United States is $78.5 billion a year, including the costs of healthcare, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement.

  • Roughly 21 to 29 percent of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them.
  • Between 8 and 12 percent develop an opioid use disorder.
  • An estimated 4 to 6 percent who misuse prescription opioids transition to heroin.
  • About 80 percent of people who use heroin first misused prescription opioids.
  • Opioid overdoses increased 30 percent from July 2016 through September 2017 in 52 areas in 45 states.
  • The Midwestern region saw opioid overdoses increase 70 percent from July 2016 through September 2017.
  • Opioid overdoses in large cities increase by 54 percent in 16 states.

In the late 1990s, pharmaceutical companies reassured the medical community that patients would not become addicted to prescription opioid pain relievers, and healthcare providers began to prescribe them at greater rates. This subsequently led to widespread diversion and misuse of these medications before it became clear that these medications could indeed be highly addictive.3,4 Opioid overdose rates began to increase. In 2017, more than 47,000 Americans died as a result of an opioid overdose, including prescription opioids, heroin, and illicitly manufactured fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid.1That same year, an estimated 1.7 million people in the United States suffered from substance use disorders related to prescription opioid pain relievers, and 652,000 suffered from a heroin use disorder (not mutually exclusive)

AI Overview

Understanding DOT Drug Testing

DOT drug testing is a regulatory requirement enforced by the United States Department of Transportation to ensure that operators and safety-sensitive personnel in the transportation industry are compliant with federal drug-free workplace laws. This testing applies to millions of transportation professionals across various sectors, including aviation, trucking, railways, public transit, and pipelines.

Regulated Entities and Individuals

  • Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers: Includes anyone operating commercial vehicles that require a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).
  • Aviation Professionals: Applies to pilots, air traffic controllers, flight attendants, and aircraft maintenance personnel.
  • Railroad Operators: Covers those who operate trains, prepare vehicles for service, and dispatch operations on the railway.
  • Public Transit Workers: Encompasses bus drivers, mechanics, and any staff responsible for the safety of public transport operations.
  • Pipeline Operators: Includes individuals involved in the operation and maintenance of pipeline facilities.

What Substances Are Tested?

The DOT drug testing program focuses on several major classes of drugs:

  1. Amphetamines and Methamphetamines
  2. Opiates, including heroin, codeine, and morphine
  3. Cocaine
  4. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), found in marijuana
  5. Phencyclidine (PCP)

Procedure of DOT Drug Testing

The testing process is standardized to prevent tampering and ensure consistent results:

  • Sample Collection: Urine samples are collected under strict conditions to ensure that they are not tampered with or substituted.
  • Screening Tests: Initial screenings are conducted using immunoassay techniques. If a test is positive, further confirmation is required.
  • Confirmation Tests: Confirmatory testing using more precise methods like Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) confirms the presence of specific drugs.
  • Review Process: An MRO reviews confirmed positive results to determine if there is a legitimate medical explanation before reporting the result to the employer.

Implications of Non-Compliance

Non-compliance with DOT drug testing regulations can lead to significant consequences:

  • Removal from Safety-Sensitive Duties: Employees testing positive are immediately removed from their safety-sensitive duties.
  • Rehabilitation and Return-to-Duty Testing: Before returning to duty, employees must undergo an evaluation by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), complete any prescribed treatment, and have negative results on follow-up tests.
  • Employment Consequences: Additional consequences may include job suspension, termination, or other disciplinary actions based on the employer’s policies.

DOT drug testing serves as a critical safeguard in the transportation industry, promoting a safe and responsible work environment while ensuring public safety and compliance with federal regulations.
