Volunteers sought for crisis hotline
GLADSTONE
—
The
Clackamas County Com
munity Action Agency is
seeking volunteers it w ill
train for a county crisis
hotline it plans to start
operating in November.
The trainees w ill be
prepared to handle anything
from transportation or food
problems ail the way up to a
suicide
attem pt,
said
Richard Craig, CCA coor
dinator.
The agency is looking for
about 40 volunteers to be
trained especially to handle
the critica l calls. Application
deadline
is
Sept.
25.
Applicants w ill be trained
during October and w ill start
working in November
Clackamas County does
not have what Craig calls a
“ psychological safety valve”
within reach. Residents must
now call Portland numbers
for help, and assistance
takes longer when coming
from Portland than it would
from Gladstone where the
center would be, Craig said.
The agency is looking for
persons 18 years or older who
have a desire and ability to
“ tune into the caller,” and
know available community
services, he said.
In the training course,
persons from the CAA’s
information w ill review local
services, and represen
tatives from rape advocate
and suicide prevention will
teach trainees how to handle
the critica l calls including
rapes, wife beating, suicides
and drug calls.
The volunteers w ill be
taught effective listening and
communication skills so they
can handle serious calls
when callers may not want to
talk, Craig said.
“ But the fact they called
indicates they want to talk,”
he said “ Deep listening
brings those kinds of things
out ”
already in operation ‘‘ I don't
see anything negative about
it.”
The agency plans to
operate two lines and put two
volunteers working on each
four-hour shift Volunteers
w ill be asked to work two
four-hour shifts each month.
The agency plan received a
positive reaction from John
Renfro, Clackamas County
Sheriff
A line in Clackamas
County might aid some
persons who m ight be
charged for long-distance
phone calls made to Portland
hotlines, Renfro said
‘ ‘ The m ore resources,
opportunities, and help, the
better,” Renfro said of the
proposed line and others

The hotline would be a
benefit by adding workers to
handle crisis situations, he
added.
‘ ‘There are more op
portunities for more people
to deal with those things if
there is a service like that,”
he said

Book offers home advice
A new bulletin on how to
; protect a home against decay
; and insect damage has been
; published by the Forest
A Research
Laboratory at
Oregon State University.
The 26-page publication
was prepared by Theodore C.
Scheffer and Robert D.
• Graham, both forest product
• researchers at OSU.
Included is information on
early detection of decay and
• insect damage, home in-
• spection and prevention and
co ntrol of damage. A
checklist
of
specific
precautions to help prevent
serious decay or insect
damage is also included
The Oregon Department of
Veterans’ Affairs estimates
that 40 percent of Oregon
houses three years or older
are suffering from hidden rot
and points out that increased
use of insulation is causing
more moisture damage. To
save energy and avoid rot,
Graham emphasized the
need for a ground cover and
year-round ventilation of
crawlspace, good ventilation
in attics and the importance
of not insulating walls of
existing homes.
Copies of the bulletin,
“ Protect Your Home Against
Decay and Insects,” are
available free from the OSU
