Driver accused of letting students smoke pot on school bus Shavonne Potts February 28, 2014 Brian Overcash LANDIS — A Rowan County school bus driver remains in jail today after Landis Police say he allowed students to smoke marijuana on the bus. Police say it wasn’t the first time he allowed students to smoke on the bus. Brian Davis Overcash, 30, was charged with four counts of misdemeanor contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The incident occurred Feb. 20 after Corriher-Lipe Middle School assistant Principal Matt Krome contacted authorities. Matthew never told Mike and me that he was using heroin—he didn't want to hurt us. But we figured it out because he had been acting sluggish, losing weight, staying out all night. I insisted that he enter a rehab center, and I let him come back home when he came out a month later. But he started using again. The professionals told us that if your child is using drugs he has become the drug: He is no longer your child, and he no longer has a home with you. So I locked him out when he was 20, which was the hardest thing I ever had to do. He was in and out of rehab for the next 14 years. And even though Mike and I had been divorced for ages, we went through a lot of it together with him. We saw doctors and counselors and attended Al-Anon meetings. We got a crash course in drug abuse. One thing we learned was that Matthew had started using drugs when he was only 10. We were living in the San Fernando Valley then ... I had no idea that one of our neighbors was growing pot - smoking it with the kids --- in the neighborhood. They were hippies with money who probably thought what they were doing was cool. For what they did, I'd happily kill them. I think marijuana can be extremely addictive, especially if the child starts smoking early and has a genetic predisposition to addiction. It puts him on track to use more powerful drugs to avoid facing life. Mike and I had alcoholism in our families—his grandfather, my aunt and uncle. Still, that didn't make us more alert to Matthew's early drug use. And by the time we found out, it was too late to save him. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20136550,00.html

Should've posted this ... Tragic Waste By Frank Swertlow 03/11/2002 The phone call that Barbara Eden had dreaded for years came at 3 a.m. last June 26: Her only child, Matthew Ansara, was dead of a heroin overdose. Six hours earlier, police had found Ansara, a 35-year-old actor and amateur bodybuilder, slumped over the steering wheel of his truck at a gas station in Monrovia, Calif. At the time of his death, he was playing the part of an inmate in the upcoming prison thriller Con Games. "He won a lot of battles," says Eden, 67. "But he lost his personal war."
