CITY SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DRUGS

Editor:

I recently purchase a home in Williams Lake around the 1100 block of
North Second Avenue and I am wondering how it seems like everybody in
the neighborhood are aware of the drug dealings that goes on except
the police.

I spoke with a local and he pointed out to me the culprit homes and it
certainly gives true meaning to the name "drug stores." A parade of
teens can be seen, especially on weekends, in to buy drugs. I always
say that if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

So, who is assisting these businesses and turning a blind eye to the
situation? Don't the elders of the community have children that they
are allowing this criminal activity to prosper? If you don't stop the
crime, you become part of the crime, a conspirator. Drugs is like
cancer, it spreads and is deadly. We should all work towards stopping
it before it reaches close to home. Then it's too late. My father
always says: "Play with fire and you will get burned." So why is
Williams Lake playing with drugs?
