Close to Home: Drug Use in Your Community

Grant Frashier

Opioid drug use is expanding in rural communities.  There is a series of community forums being offered in Itasca, Northern St. Louis, Aitkin and Pine Counties in Minnesota to help find community based soluitions to the problem.  Host Grant Frashier attended the first meeting held in Keewatin and tgalked with Kelly Chandler with Itasca County Public Health.

Grant Frashier is an adventurous kind of guy. Not only does he produce the Close to Home segment where he takes us with him to historic sites and local events, he has been a lighthouse keeper in the Apostle Islands and has worked a buffalo roundup in the western Dakota badlands. He's also has a keen sense of good barbeque and beer. Grant can be counted on to bring tasty treats to staff meetings as well as provide one of the most unique laughs you've ever heard. One time? At a class reunion, Grant went unnoticed until an hour and half into it when he started laughing.
