GloTell it on the mountain

Although Chancellor Wendler announced it on the Cap Miller Show on WJPF radio on Thursday, the local papers still haven't picked up on it -- not even a mention in the SIUC News Service top stories.

It's a major weapon in the battle against methamphetamine manufacturers -- particularly those who steal fertilizer from farmers. The solution may cause users to turn pink -- from more than embarassment -- as reported in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

A press release on Royster-Clark web site states: "According to research by Southern Illinois University Carbondale, GloTell™ is safe agronomically and environmentally. The product is currently available, easy to use, and affordable. GloTell is a patent pending product and will be sold and distributed exclusively by Royster-Clark Inc. as a result of an agreement with GloTell Distributors LLC.

Royster-Clark Inc. President G. Kenneth Moshenek stated, “Royster-Clark is proud to offer GloTell™ as one solution to a problem which has plagued our industry for many years. With the assistance of U. S. Representative John M. Shimkus (IL-19), Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and SSCI, Inc., research necessary for our company to focus on developing technology to inhibit methamphetamine production has been possible. We understand the enormity of the methamphetamine problem in the United States today and Royster-Clark pridefully partners with the developers of GloTell™ to create a solution.”

The fact that the GloTell story has not made it to 60 Minutes, 20-20, or the like is evidence that the extent of the problem (i.e. exponential proliferation of meth lab seizures) is not recognized by many urban dwellers. The large media caters to the majority, and 90% of the people live in 10% of the land mass. This drug is unlike any other drug introduced to an unsuspecting public....the addiction rate is 97% after the first use, and the recovery period (wall period) can be up to 5 yrs. Anyone who has investigated its effects cannot help but conclude meth is evil and was born in hell. May God help us if the trend continues....typically, one meth cook trains ten others...the fact that this solution came about from private individuals, with no financial help from the government, is almost unbelievable...someone finally said "enough is enough" and actually did something. May God bless these courageous warriors.

Doesn't it cause one to wonder what prevents our state and national governments from MANDATING the use of the Glotell product. This is surely a "no brainer". Another mystery...why doesn't law enforcement demand its use? Job security??
