3A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 2016 Peer-to-peer hotline is a lifeline for troubled youth A resource for suicide prevention, substance abuse By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian When talking about behav- iors hinting at harmful or even suicidal thoughts, Melissa Margaret said she prefers to see them as invitations for help rather than warning signs to stay away. Margaret helps operate YouthLine, a peer-to-peer youth suicide hotline through Lines for Life, a suicide and substance abuse prevention group. She and other mental health professionals, educators, par- ents and family members with concerns gathered Monday at Astoria Middle School to talk about how to best reach those struggling, amid a reported uptick in students harming themselves and thinking of suicide. Be attentive “The key as a parent … is to notice a change in behav- ior,” said Emily Moser, who manages YouthLine. Parents need to be atten- tive toward their children and understand their regular behaviors, Moser and Marga- ret said, and be willing to ask when they notice something is amiss, even in the face of anger and pushback. Parents at the meeting whose children had attempted suicide shared their own initial frustration in trying to respond, and how communication and breaking through the stigma of mental illness was key in help- ing their children. According to the Trevor Project, an LGBT crisis sup- port group, members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and ‘The key as a parent … is to notice a change in behavior.’ Emily Moser manager, YouthLine transgender community are about four times more likely than their peers to attempt sui- cide. Jeralyn O’Brien, chair- woman of the Lower Colum- bia Gender Alliance and Q Center in Astoria, said the best way to help is to provide sup- port and avoid judgment. Ask the question “All the research shows is that the best thing you can do is ask the question,” Moser said of asking whether some- one is thinking about suicide. Detective Nicole Riley of the Astoria Police Depart- ment touched on the lack of resources for people having mental health issues, such as a shortage of hospital beds lead- ing suicidal subjects to stone- wall until they get out. While resources are limited, Moser said, “we need to look at what we can do before they go to the hospital,” adding that with at least 95 percent of calls to YouthLine, a person’s crisis is de-escalated without the help of police or a visit to a hospi- tal. She and others said under- standing mental health and moving past the stigma is key to responding to those in need. Members of Lines for Life and other organizations will meet again at 6:30 p.m. both tonight and Wednes- day in the library of Astoria Middle School — 1100 Klas- kanine Ave. — to talk about how to help those dealing with self-harming and suicidal behaviors. Oregon GOP eliminates superdelegates Associated Press SALEM — Oregon’s Republican Party has changed its rules to elimi- nate superdelegates, meaning more delegates could go to the winner of the state’s May 17 primary. Until now, the state party’s top three leaders were able to support any candidate at national conventions, regard- less of the primary results, The Bulletin reported. But the party approved a rule change during a Medford meeting last week that will require its leaders to vote according to the primary results. If there is a contested con- vention, Oregon’s Republi- can leaders will have to vote according to the peoples’ wishes during the ¿rst two rounds of voting. “Whoever gets the most votes will probably get the three of us,” said Bill Cur- rier, one of the three for- merly unbound delegates and the chairman of the Oregon Republican Party. The rule involves just three of the 2,472 delegates attending the GOP’s July convention in Cleveland, but that could make a difference in a tight race to amass the 1,237 delegates need to win. Businessman Donald Trump is currently leading the Republican ¿eld with 742 pledged delegates, while U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has 516 and Ohio Gov. John Kasich has 143. Oregon made the change at the behest of the Repub- lican National Committee, which is hoping to avoid can- didates lobbying to win over unbound delegates. That hap- pened in 2012, when former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul’s sup- porters won over unbound delegates from former Mas- sachusetts Gov. Mitt Rom- ney, the eventual nominee. “We wanted to make it the same. We’re no different. We all have a vote. We wanted to conform to the same rules that the rest of the dele- gates did,” said Donna Cain, another formerly unbound delegate and the state party’s national committeewoman. Scappoose man ¿ned for discharging paint into river The Daily Astorian WARRENTON — The state Department of Environ- mental Quality ¿ned Donald Salvey of Scappoose $19,243 for allegedly discharging paint and paint chips to the Skipanon River at the Warrenton Marina. On Sept. 23, according to a release from the state, workers under the direction of Salvey were observed grinding and sanding paint from the hull of the vessel Henrietta W and painting the hull while the ves- sel was moored in Warrenton. Observers saw paint and dried chips in the water around the vessel, and workers cleaning paint from paint roller brushes in the mooring basin.

MARX The Daily Astorian CANNON BEACH — Marlene Laws doesn’t care what voters think about legal marijuana in Oregon. But she does want people to come out and vote against cannabis dis- pensaries in Cannon Beach. If Laws and others on a new committee can round up 140 signatures, the initia- tive could make its way to the November ballot. If the initia- tive should succeed with vot- ers, cannabis sales would be off limits in the city. “I just want it to go to a vote, so we know the will of the people if they want a shop in Cannon Beach,” Laws, a lifelong resident, said. “Six- ty-three percent voted to legal- ize it. But that does not mean they want a shop in Cannon Beach. This is why I want it to come to a vote. So we can know for sure if people in Cannon Beach do want a mari- juana shop in Cannon Beach.” Laws and her husband, Gary, have joined Cannon Beach residents Jeremy Ran- dolph, Nancy Gaisson and Molly Edison on a commit- tee to bring the matter back to voters. Last Tuesday, city council- ors declined to bring a call for a council vote that would have banned recreational and med- ical marijuana sales within the city. Despite a motion by Councilor Wendy Higgins to read the ordinance by its title, Mayor Sam Steidel, Coun- cilors George Vetter, Melissa Cadwallader and Mike Bene- ¿eld declined to second it. Without a second, a subse- quent motion to ban cannabis sales was never considered, in effect opening the door for the licensing of dispensaries. Randolph, a former prose- cutor in Lewis County, Wash- ington, is the chairman of the committee and Gary Laws is R.J. Marx/The Daily Astorian Jeremy Randolph is chairman of a committee to bring a vote to prohibit marijuana dispensaries in Cannon Beach. the treasurer. Marlene Laws said Mon- day she sent papers to the state to form a committee and open a bank account to develop an initiative to vote. Papers must be ¿lled out before signatures can be collected. The ordinance before the City Council sought to ban cannabis dispensaries, pro- cessing sites, wholesalers and retailers, an opt-out option offered to Oregon cities. Since the councilors took no action last week, those who oppose the sale of cannabis in Cannon Beach have the option to bring it to the voters. City elections of¿cial Col- leen Riggs said the petition could ask for “anything.” “Until they actually write it out, we don’t know what they would like to put on the bal- lot,” Riggs said. If signatures are properly veri¿ed, it may or may not go to a vote in November, she said. “There are a lot of differ- ent options.” When the initiative is pre- sented, City Council members will have the option to adopt the initiative, reject it or take no action, If the initiative is rejected or no action taken, the initiative would come before the voters, Riggs said. to put the boat in a dry dock for painting.
