Boyle TAKING A STAND I applaud Coun. Catherine Ferguson for her stand on drug paraphernalia being sold in an East Beach market. I was surpised the first time I saw their showcase filled with drug pipes. Unfortunately, my surprise turned to anger when the manager was rude and dismissive in his refusal to remove or at least relocate the items to a less prominent part of the store. I have made it a point to take my business elsewhere. The added exercise and my personal protest make me feel much better. J. Boyle White Rock - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
