Despite an injury that caused him to miss three important election functions in a row, Mike Zuccolillo is still in the race for Paradise Town Council, running against incumbents Jody Jones and Scott Lotter.

Zuccolillo was part of an effort to take supplies to Weed, which sustained severe fire damage. Last Monday, while attempting to unhitch the supply trailer, the trailer came loose and its tongue fell on his right leg causing a compound fracture above the ankle.

Emergency crews showed up and he was taken to Feather River Hospital for treatment.

His first thought was whether he was going to be in a cast for the meet and greet.

"The firemen were laughing at me because I kept asking, 'Am I going to make it (to the event)?'" Zuccolillo said.

He didn't make it to the meet and greet and didn't have surgery until the next day, which was when the League of Women Voters scheduled its candidate forum.
