RSS STUDENTS CRAFTING A COOL ANTI-METH SLOGAN

Walking through the high school last week, you might  have noticed
posters advertising a chance for teens to  write an anti-crystal meth
slogan unique to Revelstoke.

The way it worked was that you would write your  anti-crystal meth
slogan on a ballot and put it into a  submission box. After all the
submissions have been  entered, Karley Trauzzi and her crystal meth
task force  are to decide on the winning slogan.

The winning slogan will be printed on a black or white  rubber
wristband. These wristbands will be distributed  throughout the community.

"Once I get them, they'll be everywhere," Karley  Trauzzi said about
the distribution of the wristbands.  "Most of it's just for free.

"There's a chance that we might sell some because we're  making them
our own, so there's no copyright on them.  It'll be fundraising for
future anti-crystal meth  functions."

She also explained her reasoning behind allowing teens  to create the
slogan: if teens take part in creating  the wristbands, then logically
they might be more  likely to wear them.

Teens and adults alike need to know about crystal meth  and how
dangerous it is, and an interesting, creative,  and interactive
project like this seems to be a good  way to do it.
