MARTINSBURG — An aspiring anesthetist was anything but sleepy when she served Oct. 30 as an honorary member of the Berkeley County Commission.
Maya Nguyen, 13, of Martinsburg, sat among four of the commissioners, plus the county’s administrator and administrative assistant, as they listened to concerns from a property owner about a neighboring site he said is an eyesore for all living and working near it, and passing it on Winchester Avenue; staffing updates for the Berkeley County Emergency Ambulance Authority; and concerns about unwelcome activity at a private cemetery in the county.
