Paterson, DON'T GIVE UP Dear Editor, Re: Front Page October 18, 2006 Our world would be a much better place if more people stood their ground and let the criminal element know that they should stop their activities or move on, preferably the second option. This town is so small it's difficult to understand why we can't rid our neighbourhoods of drug dealers and pedophiles, etc. However, it's impossible to explain it to our children and grandchildren, who should assume theirs is a safe environment in which to be growing up. I applaud the persons involved in this protest and those who had their names printed in the paper. Irene M. Paterson, Port Hardy - --- MAP posted-by: Elaine
