In the dark

Light should be a source of safety in times of danger, but the 56 blue light emergency phones adorning the Indiana University campus are just a distraction for police and a plaything for students. IU continues to install new blue lights with every new construction.

Untreated

Buprenorphine-naloxone, also sold under the brand name Suboxone, is an opioid, the same kind of drug that heroin and painpill addicts are addicted to. It's approved by the Federal Drug Administration to treat addiction, but critics argue it replaces one drug with another.

Captain Greg Butler swears in the Indiana University police cadet class during their graduation ceremony on August 15.

The cleanup man

Ryan Weaver, 39, is a firefighter in Frankfort, Ind. He serves 10 days a month. For another two he trains as a medic on a SWAT team. By nature he's a rescuer. However, he spends a majority of his time saving the rural victims and their property desecrated by meth cooking and use. Ryan's company, Bio-Recovery Specialists, offers, among many of its services, meth lab cleanup. The Indiana State Police places these houses on a list of condemned homes that require inspection and cleaning within six months, with or without home insurance as a safety net. Ryan and his employees offer them a helping hand. They are the compassionate faces behind a lucrative operation with 30 competitors in the state affected greatest by the drug.

Macabee was medically discharged earlier this year after being diagnosed with a conversion disorder, a form of post traumatic stress that causes him to convert extreme stress into physical tremors. Along with the stress of Combat memories and college classes Macabee also has the responsibilities of being a father to balance.
