Today in History
The Soviet Union inaugurates the “Space Age” with its
launch of Sputnik, the world’s fi rst artifi cial satellite. The
spacecraft, named Sputnik after the Russian word for
“satellite,” was launched from the Tyuratam launch base in
the Kazakh Republic. Sputnik had a diameter of 22 inches
and weighed 184 pounds and circled Earth once every hour
and 36 minutes, traveling at 18,000 miles an hour. Visible
with binoculars before sunrise or after sunset, Sputnik
transmitted radio signals back to Earth strong enough to
be picked up by amateur radio operators.

ADULTS: NAMI can teach you
how to help struggling teens
with your stories of survival
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
The Marion Polk chapter of
the National Alliance on Men-
tal Health (NAMI) is looking
for adult volunteers to share
their experiences with men-
tal health challenges at local
schools.
The new program is called
Ending the Silence. Volunteers
take part in training that will
prepare them to share their
personal stories about struggles
with mental health or loving
someone who does.
“For volunteers, it is a day-
long training and starts with
facilitators working with them
to tell their story. By the end,
they’ve had opportunities to
highlight different aspects of
their story for different audi-
ences, respond to questions
and do some roleplaying,” said
Brenna Bandstra, a NAMI
trainer and presenter.
Once
volunteers
pass
through the course, they are
paired with another regular
NAMI volunteer to visit local
classrooms.
“[Volunteering] is all peer-
based,” said Sarah Zecchini,
another NAMI trainer and
presenter. “We don’t focus on
clinical backgrounds, it’s more
about lived experience. As long
as you have lived with mental
health issues or loved someone
who has.”

NAMI is a network of men-
tal health advocacy, research,
support and education. It rep-
resents those living with major
depression, anxiety disorders,
schizophrenia, bipolar disorder,
obsessive compulsive disorder,
panic disorder, post-traumatic
stress disorder and borderline
personality disorder. Annual
membership is $40 per indi-
vidual or $5 for those with fi -
nancial need.
Zecchini discovered NAMI
when fi ghting her own battles
with mental health, she was in-
troduced to the group while in
recovery and volunteered to be
a presenter after making it to
a more stable place. Now, vol-
unteering with NAMI is one
of the tools she uses to stay
grounded.
“When I teach these cours-
es, I get to help people un-
derstand what it means to
deal with mental illness. It has
helped me normalize myself
and my own feelings. When
you are in that space, there is
no logic to the thoughts. When
I have to repeat what I went
through as a presenter, I have
a constant reminder that these
things can be handled with
responses other than fl ight or
fi ght,” Zecchini said.
Bandtra’s journey to be-
coming a NAMI presenter
started after the sudden death
of her brother who she saw
battle with schizoaffective dis-
order.
“[NAMI] gave me hope af-
ter my brother passed away and
it helps me be more supportive.
Every class I teach humbles me
and brings me down to earth.
It’s helped me be more aware
of what loved ones are feeling
and how I can help,” she said.
Other resources offered lo-
cally through NAMI are:
• Family Support Group
on the second and fourth Sat-
urdays of each month from
1-2:30 p.m. at Salem Hospital
on the sixth fl oor of Building
A. Family members and friend
of those with mental health
challenges are welcome.
• The NAMI Marion-Polk
Connection Peer Support
Group, a weekly 90-minute re-
covery support group program
for adults living with a men-
tal illness. The peer-led group
provides a place where people
learn from one another’s expe-
rience, share coping strategies
and offer mutual encourage-
ment. Meetings are held every
Monday from 5:15 to 6:45
p.m. at the Recovery Outreach
Community Center at 2555
Silverton Road N.E. in Salem.
• Family to Family, a 12-
week course for family mem-
bers of individuals living
with severe mental illness.
Presenters provide informa-
tion on the clinical treatment
of mental illnesses and teach
the knowledge and skills that
family members need to care
for themselves as well as their
loved ones.
• In Our Own Voice is a
90-minute interactive, multi-
media presentation by individ-
uals living with mental illness
that offers hope and provides
insight into the recovery pro-
cess. Presentations can be
scheduled in schools, work-
places or during community
gatherings.
“All the support programs
are evidence-based,” Bandstra
said.
“And the focus is on two
things: they are not alone and
this is what can be done,” add-
ed Zecchini.

issues and she has held key
leadership positions with the
League of Oregon Cities, the
Mid-Willamette Council of
Governments and the Salem
Keizer Metropolitan Planning
Organization.
“Her work directly con-
tributed to the development
of transportation and funding
packages, better League [of
Oregon Cities] governance
and increased intergovern-
mental cooperation,” said Sean
O’Day, executive director of the
Mid-Willamette Valley Council
of Governments, in a nomina-
tion form.
One of Clark’s peers, May-
or John McArdle, of Indepen-
dence, was effusive in his praise
of Clark’s statesmanship.
“Real leadership isn’t easy,
it often necessitates dealing
with very diffi cult, challeng-
ing issues, issues that others
prefer to ignore – not Mayor
Clark,” McArdle wrote. “She is
committed to doing the right
things. She operates with grace,
sensitivity, passion, the highest
ethical standards and is an inspi-
ration to others.”
Through her involvement,
Clark has worked to preserve
the home rule authority of cit-
ies in Oregon. Her efforts have
directly contributed to the de-
velopment of transportation
funding packages and increased
intergovernmental cooperation.
“This honor means so much
to me because it comes from
you, the people who know me,
who work with me and whom
I love and respect. People who
share a passion for serving all
people with dignity and re-
spect,” said Clark in her accep-
tance speech.
James C. Richards was a city
councilor for Bay City and was
the administrative offi cer for
Tillamook County. His many
years of involvement in inter-
governmental affairs serve as
a model for others and is the
standard by which nominees
are evaluated.
The League of Oregon Cit-
ies helps city governments serve
their citizens by providing leg-
islative services, policy setting,
intergovernmental
relations,
conferences and training, tech-
nical assistance and publications.
