Bravo! Finally an extremely important topic that our town needs to address.
This problem is consuming all that it touches. Property, Savings, Families, Lives, nothing is safe from the Opioid Epidemic. I witness the harm this causes on a daily, almost hourly basis as an Officer and our town is not safe from it. Thank you for raising this topic and highlighting how it relates to our town.
Paul Salopek about his “Out of Eden Walk” started in 01/2013: “[…]they ask whether I am crazy or super-human. What I tell them is it is neither a crazy plan, nor is it difficult. Once you get over the initial adjustment period of two to three weeks, your mind and body adapts to this exercise. It not only becomes easy, but is also joyful and addictive. Walking is indeed addictive.” (on http://www.dw.com)
