Called SNAP (Say No and Phone}, the program has proved very successful in the United Kingdom; it encourâ€" ages students to report drug related crimes to the local Crime Stoppers. Waterloo Regional Crime Stoppers is the first in Canada to test the program, which is being launched at three schools â€" Waterlooâ€" Oxford District secondary school in Baden, St. David Catholic secondary school in Waterloo and Jacob Hespeler secondary school in Cambridge â€" in January 2001. Locally, the program will involve _ police, _ Crime Stoppers, school adminisâ€" tration and student counâ€" cils. Its goals are to raise drug awareness â€" among â€" high school students aged 14 to 19 and give the students the By Lee Ann WareRMAN For the Chronicle message that is acceptable to say no to drugs and pass on information about users and sellers. explains Doug Sheppard, police coordinaâ€" tor for Waterloo Regional Crime Stoppers. In _ the past, _ area teenagers have not calléd Crime Stoppers or the police to report crimes. But propoâ€" nents are hoping SNAP will change all that. "The combination," says Sheppard, "of effective eduâ€" cation about drugâ€"related issues and the Crime Stoppers method of reportâ€" ing information will empowâ€" er our local teenagers to be confident enough to refuse the daily pressures of drug use, while motivating them also to get information to the police via Crime Stappers about those who are involved in the drug trade in and around their schools and elsewhere." Sheppard says that the three schools were chosen because they wanted a good crossâ€"section _ from _ the region, not because drug use is higher there than at other schools. "It‘s a regionwide proâ€" gram and we had to choose three â€" test _ pilot â€" sites, Waterlooâ€"Oxford just hapâ€" pens to be one of them." said Sheppard, adding that wâ€"O principal Brian Rainville heard about the Garbage and recycling collection delayed by one day As Christmas and New Year‘s holidays fall on Monday this year, both garbage and recycling colâ€" lection days will be delayed by one day during the twoâ€" week holiday season.

"This is an excellent proâ€" gram," says Rainville, "and this is a good opportunity to fight drugs not only in our school but in the whole region, in the entire commuâ€" nity." Brian Derry, the student council _ coâ€"president â€" at Waterlooâ€"Oxford, agrees. "It is not only the adminâ€" istration that is pushing for this," Derry told those attending a recent press conference at Wâ€"O . "It‘s the students as well. The majoriâ€" ty of students support this program and a lot of us are fed up with drug problems as well." Derry, who is currently in his OAC (fifth) year at Wâ€"O, says drug use is much more prevalent at the high school now than it was when he was in Grade 9. "It‘s a small group of stuâ€" dents that are using the majority of the drugs, but it‘s affecting the larger group.
