INTERCONNECTED STORIES: Shannon Long wipes away tears after listening to an address by Matt Baker, right, a sergeant at the Oxford County Sheriff’s Department, who told students at a high school assembly in Jay about the daughter he lost to an opioid overdose. Shannon, who shared details about her own story at the event, has a unique connection to the officer: After his daughter’s death, Baker rallied to get supplies of Narcan, the drug used to reverse the effects of overdoses, into the hands of police officers in Oxford County. Shannon Long happened to be the first person in Oxford County that a police officer saved by using Narcan. Staff photo by Brianna Soukup
