The Sheriff's Office
received this car after a drug
arrest by the Georgia State
Patrol, LaGrange Post 2 on
January 6, 2000.
Troopers stopped the 1997
Ford Cobra on 1-85 for speed-
ing and after issuing a cita-

After receiving consent

ers found suspected marijua-
na and methamphetamine,
along with a bottle of valium
pills, inside the car.
The car was seized by the
State Patrol and two subjects

Troup County Drug Unit
interviewed them.
The vehicle was confis-
cated with assistance from

used by our D.A.R.E. Officer,
Corporal George Cotton to
show his fifth grade D.A.R.E.

Here are the winning stu-

Program at Hogasnville

• Hi, my name is Ashley and
I am a D.A.R.E. student. I first
started D.A.R.E. in August. So
far I've been in D.A.R.E. for five
months. I am going to tell you
why you should not do drugs,
violence, and join gangs.
I le the D.A.R.E. program
very much. I feel very com-
fortable in D.A.R.E. I feel as if
we are all special in our own dif-
ferent way. I really think
D.A.R.E. is wonderful for fifth
graders. It shows us respect for
ourselves. It also gives us a high
self-esteem.
D.A.R.E. has taught me a lot
of things like why you should
not do drugs and other no good
stuff. I learned that if you are
crazy enough to do alcohol, mar-
ijuana and other drugs, it can
cause a lot of damage, like: loss
of memory, cancer and the one
that really stands out is death.
In D.A.R.E., I also learned that
the value of life is more impor-
tant than money, TV, rings,
shoes, and cars. The Role-
Models helped me a lot when
they said, "You can be anything
you want to be if you don't do
drugs.".
It is important to stay drug-

free because you will live
longer. You will be able to reach
your goals and make your
dreams come true. I think, if
you do not do drugs you can go
to college, get a good job, and
take care of your family.
I wrote this paper because
I want people to know why they
should not do drugs and vio-
lence. When you get in the fifth
grade and have D.A.R.E., you
will know a little about D.A.R.E.
I will graduate from D.A.R.E.
on the 18th of December. I
earned it and I worked hard. P.S.
Don't do drugs! ! ! Thank you.

• This paper will be about
what I learned through the
D.A.R.E. program in my fifth
- grade school year.
I feel the D.A.R.E. program
has helped me in many ways. It
has taught me to say "NO
THANKS" to drugs and alcohol.
Officer Cotton taught me about
gangs and other types of vio-
lence. He has also taught me the
many different ways in which
to recognize how someone will
try to trick you into buying sub-
stances that are harmful to your
body.
I have learned the "8 ways
to say NO." Some examples are:
Walking away, cold shoulder,
and saying "NO THANKS." My
learning these examples and
more, have helped me to recog-
nize signs that will allow me to
make healthy "decisions for
keeping my body drug-free, and
by controlling my actions to
keep down violence.
Staying drug-free and vio-
lence-free is important to my
future. I want to make good
grades, have many friends, go
to college, and have a
ful career. In my future,
is no room for drug
The purpose of this
was to give my view on
have learned from
feel very good about my
to stay drug-free and
free. I think my future
bright because
