When the odds seem formidable, the success is all the sweeter. 

Thursday evening, Marla Luckert, Chief Justice of the Kansas Supreme Court, hailed the efforts of the Allen County Drug Court to help curb drug and substance misuse disorders. 

“You are changing people’s lives,” she said at a dinner intended to celebrate her presence. “We have all heard about the parable of planting a mustard seed and that it takes time to develop. Your perseverance has paid off.” 

“These people going through the Drug Court program have not had an easy road. Getting through Drug Court is tough. Many people drop out. But those who finish the requirements end up changing the direction of their lives.
