Red Ribbon Week
Continued from front page
At 2 p.m.,
Thurs., Feb. 7,
1985, Camarena
opened his desk
drawer, put both
his badge and pistol
inside, and closed it.
He would need nei
ther for a simple
lunch date with his
wife, Mika.
Winters in Guadalajara get far
from cold and it was a sunny day
when Camarena walked out of the
consulate. He walked to his pick-up,
switched off the burglar alarm, and
unlocked the door.
According to the Drug Enforce
ment Administration's (DEA) recon
struction of the event, Camarena
never made it into his truck. Five
men advanced upon him from be
hind. One threw a jacket over his
head and the others grabbed his
arms and legs. He was shoved into
a beige Volkswagen Atlantic, and
taken away. Nobody but his kidnap
pers ever saw him alive again.
One month later the remains of
Camarena were found 70 miles from
Michoacan, Mexico. He had been
beaten, tortured and eventually
murdered.
The DEA lost one of its best agents.
Mika Camarena lost a husband. And
three little boys lost their father.
But Camarena's legacy wasn't lost
on anybody, and thus began the Red
Ribbon Campaign. Although origi
nally just a grassroots movement led
by concerned parents and teachers
who were tired of the violence and
destruction caused by drugs, the
movement became official in 1988
when Congress proclaimed October
23-31 Red Ribbon Week. Since then
the Red Ribbon has been embraced
Grand Ronde students were all smiles
as they participated in the Red Rib
bon March and made signs that spoke
out against drug abuse and violence.
as the symbol for drug intolerance
in schools, work and neighborhood
communities.
Many schools and businesses na
tionwide have taken up the philoso
phy of the Red Ribbon. The Polk
County Commission on Children
and Families and Polk County Pre
vention Services broadened the pro
gram this year by asking local busi
nesses to display red balloons along
with a poster, telling Camarena's
story and make drug awareness bro
chures available to their customers.
The following businesses partici
pated in the Red Ribbon March
awareness program this year:
Abby's Pizza, Burgerville of
Monmouth, Chemeketa Community
College of Dallas, Dallas Chamber
of Commerce, Dallas Floral, Mendi's
Pizza in Independence, Monmouth
Independence Chamber of Com
merce, Polk County Board of Com
missioners, Polk County Human
Services, Rick's Place in Monmouth,
Roth's in Independence, Safeway of
Dallas, and WAL-MART of Dallas.
