The Red Ribbon Week theme adopted by Tehama County, "Fos- ter a Drug Free Healthy Lifestyle. Be Drug Free," highlights the hope that lies in the hard work and de- termination of the community to create a drug free environment. The week continues through to Monday. Tehama County Young Marines Walter Williams, Miranda Kain, Trevor Kain, Gavin Wilkinson and Vance Crane led the event by pre- senting the colors for the pledge of allegiance. Miranda Kain then spoke about how the Red Ribbon Week all began. The prevention week began in honor and remembrance of En- rique "Kiki" Camarena, an under- coveragentfromtheDrugEnforce- ment Administration who was ab- ducted in 1985. At this time he was very close to exposing a multi-mil- lion dollar drug pipeline to the United States. He was later mur- dered while undercover. Camarenadeathopenedtheeyes of many Americans to the dangers of drugs and the international scope of the drug trade, Miranda Kain said.

Zuccato moved on to stronger drugs and eventually noticed he was getting too deep into the life- style of a drug addict. He said he knew he needed a change.

Zuccato has been free from drugs and alcohol for six years.
