Red Ribbon Week Say No to Drugs Poster Contest
San Andreas, CA...October 23rd through October 31st is Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon week is a drug awareness program held annually during the month of October. The Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney’s Office, and other county departments participate by hosting a coloring contest for students in grades 1st through 8th. Each year the theme of the poster changes. This year the theme is “Celebrate Life. Live drug-Free.” Posters should be submitted within student’s school by Tuesday October 25th.
This year’s poster contest theme follows the 2019 Red Ribbon Week theme of “Send a Message. Stay Drug Free”. This poster contest was created locally in 2015 to incorporate alcohol and drug discussion with creative expression and increase participants’ self-esteem. The contest has been on hold since 2019 due to changed school schedules and attendance resulting from the pandemic.
The contest is presented annually by the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office, Calaveras County District Attorney’s Office, Angels Camp Police Department, and the Calaveras County Office of Education. Thank you to all of the students and schools who participated.
THE RED RIBBON CAMPAIGN™ AND ENRIQUE KIKI CAMARENA
Since its beginning in 1985, the Red Ribbon has touched the lives of millions of people around the world. In response to the murder of DEA Agent Enrique Camarena, angered parents and youth in communities across the country began wearing Red Ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to raise awareness of the killing and destruction caused by drugs in America.
Enrique (Kiki) Camarena was a Drug Enforcement Administration Agent who was tortured and killed in Mexico in 1985. When he decided to join the US Drug Enforcement Administration, his mother tried to talk him out of it. "I'm only one person,” he told her, "but I want to make a difference."
On Feb. 7, 1985, the 37-year-old Camarena left his office to meet his wife for lunch. Five men appeared at the agent's side and shoved him in a car. One month later, Camarena's body was found. He had been tortured to death.
In honor of Camarena's memory and battle against illegal drugs, friends and neighbors began wearing red satin badges. Parents, sick of the destruction of alcohol and other drugs, had begun forming coalitions. Some of these new coalitions took Camarena as their model and embraced his belief that one person can make a difference. These coalitions also adopted the symbol of Camarena's memory, the red ribbon.
In 1988, NFP sponsored the first National Red Ribbon Celebration. Today, the Red Ribbon catalyzes to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities. Since then, the campaign has reached millions of U.S. children and families. The National Family Partnership (NFP) and its network of individuals and organizations continue to deliver his message of hope to millions of people annually through the National Red Ribbon Campaign™.
Event occurs on 10/23/2022 from All Day to .

Last Saturday there was a major event called the Witches Walk. Is it true that this event occurred without a permit? It had potential for a disaster for many reasons. The organizer for this event is ALREADY advertising for next year. I am just asking did this Witches Walk have a permit?

It's sad to see how many in the greater community like to take pot shots at Murphys, the only economic bright spot in the county.

If you are a business owner, you have the right to sell when market conditions tell you to. Actually, you have the right to sell whenever you want to having been the person who shouldered all the legal responsibilities and expenses of running a business. Not happy? Stop the "soulless" comments and purchase it yourself.

The comments coming from the left the so called for the people, by the people is shocking because they claim to care about everyone. Another prime example of the two faced hypocrisy of the Democratic Party.

What important economic, infrastructure, social security, or Healthcare Bills have you seen come from the GOP in the last 3years?
Last year of Trump's chaotic depressive term was spent covering their a$$ with voters.
Freedoms lost include abortion rights, voting rights, and social reforms.
These last 2 years have been spent trying to recover from covid impacts. Education, Healthcare, violence on the streets, economic depression. These were results of the do nothing impact of DJTRUMP.
Throw in the foreign intervention tactics of Trump, and you have a lot of manure to turn into compost.
Trump's liking of foreign dictators prove where his alliances lean. Money talks is a mantra of Trump.
Trump cared nothing about the average American. Holding rallies is his only skill. A skill directed at dotards that swallow hook, line, and sinker.
Frickin dotards.

More like FUKING retarded libtards!
Open borders, rising gas prices, food shortages, highest inflation in history, rising crime rates, out of control homelessness… Looks like to me every year a dumbacrap is in office their the ones trying to solve the problems they created in the first place.

It would be especially meaningful to see more posters of what alcohol abuse does to relationships and families in Calaveras. Hope a few of the kids draw those.

As a lifelong resident of Murphys, I would like to enjoy where I live. but now with every weekend hosting some event I find it hard to find peace. Can't even take my kids to the park or the store or ice cream or pizza without having to stand in line. Ever wonder what its like to drive through down town Disney? My favorite part is all the trash out in front of the rentals and up and down main street. Residents are just as important as the businesses if not more so. We are the ones that live and die here.We are the ones that make the community.The Murphys community club seems to be made up of business owners so I say change the name and call it what it is. Don't worry your gentrification is almost complete.When the people that work here can no longer live here, what do you have? Downtown Disney baby. Cant wait for the 20$ hot dogs and the bun cost extra;)
