17 February 2016: West Virginia, like a lot of places in the country, is struggling with an drug epidemic, especially here in the Eastern Panhandle. Martinsburg has even earned a depressing nickname: "Little Baltimore." Not a day goes by that I don't see some story about an overdose. It's overwhelming and so very sad.
So I was quite grateful for this event held on campus yesterday. The judges who were there were all clearly moved by this problem and open to new ways to help. If people like them can help lead the way, maybe we can make some progress.
