DRUGS: TAKE BUSINESS TO SHOPS THAT CARE

Dear Editor,

I couldn't help but recognize that concerned parents were getting
nowhere with local store owners who carry sell rose tubes which
subsequently become crack pipes [Glass pipes worry parents, Nov. 25,
Langley Advance].

Your article said that letters and even flat-out requests by those
concerned were being ignored by retailers.

I would like to offer a solution to those worried about those stores
within our communities: if everyone were to stop supporting those
markets, it would be awfully difficult for the owners to ignore their
bottom line.

I am the owner/operator of a convenience store in the Langley area,
and offer and invitation to those concerned to shop in an environment
where crack pipes are not welcome. There are many of us in the Langley
area, and I'm sure that all of us would welcome your business.
