Rollery derby: ‘It’s a close-knit little family’
Continued from Page 1A
Elinor and Nea both said
the derby provides a release
for their pent-up energy, anger
and frustration at the end of
the week in a forgiving atmo-
sphere. Elinor, also a runner,
hopes to one day join a derby
team forming in Tillamook.
Driving the sisters each
weekend from Nehalem
is Tess Johnson, who, like
other parents, originally got
involved with derby through
Friday skate nights at the
Armory and the “Fresh Meat”
practices the Roller Dolls used
to put on for adults.
“It’s an awesome thing for
kids who don’t want to do any-
thing else,” she said. “They
get serious exercise. They get
their butts kicked.”
Stephen “Stevel Knievel”
Ero, the lone boy on the team,
said he’s unsuccessfully tried
to recruit other boys from
school, but enjoys the derby
nonetheless.
“It’s a close-knit little fam-
ily,” said Amanda Adams,
whose daughters, Amanda
and Ellie, both skate with the
junior team. “We each watch
out for each others’ kids.”

Roller derby skaters are encouraged to come up with their
own derby persona. One member of the Astoria All Star
Junior Roller Derby team went with a Harry Potter theme
and has dubbed herself Bellatrix.

ing force behind many of its
community efforts, doesn’t
allow any sort of bullying or
discrimination. Along with
derby, she teaches anti-bully-
ing and community volunteer-
ism classes for kids.
“You accept everyone for
who they are,” Koustik said.
“Teamwork and sportsman-
ship are my main goals, and
then derby. It’s awesome to
see these kids take the initia-

community that we’ve ever lived in’

arriving in Astoria in 2011,
Jones said, she had a gar-
den before the moving truck
arrived.
“It was the worst garden
I ever did,” she said, adding
she lacked the understanding
of how to grow in the chal-
lenging local environment.
Shortly thereafter, Jones
took the master garden-
ers training program, which
consists of more than 20
classes and an exam over
the winter. She now oversees
the training program, ensur-
ing a steady supply of master
gardeners.
Members of the Clat-
sop County Master Gar-
deners Association oversee
spring and summer plant clin-
ics at local farmers markets,
horticulture shops and the
Clatsop County Fair. Jones
is helping the association
get ready for a spring plant
sale fundraiser in May at the
fairgrounds.
Jones said the master gar-
deners each focus on their
own specialty. She teaches
gardening skills and healthy
eating habits, including a new
program called Seed to Sup-
per, through which Jones said
she hopes to take families
through the entire process of
growing their own food, pos-
sibly in one of the area’s com-
munity gardens.
“We also want kids
exposed to gardening as
early as possible,” she said.
“It’s been proven that kids
involved in community gar-
dens and gardening are
healthier eaters.”

Jones said part of her

a new kid and they just take
them under their wing without
me having to ask.”
Visser, a local Head Start
preschool manager who got
involved in derby with her
daughter, said the derby serves
as a confidence-booster. “This
is a resiliency factor for some
of these kids.”
Any kid wanting to get
involved in the junior derby,
regardless of skill level, can
come to a Saturday practice.
Koustik and the other former
Roller Dolls take kids through
basic skating to advanced
derby skills.
The Armory provides
rental skates, although Visser
“Even with our best
efforts, we were not able to
maintain the membership/
skaters needed to run a sus-
tainable charitable organiza-
tion for the purpose of playing
roller derby,” said a message
on the Roller Dolls’ Face-
book page announcing the
team’s and their nonprofit’s
dissolution.
Koustik said there is an
effort to set up an exhibi-
tion derby bout at the Armory
for the Astoria All Stars
later this spring with a coed
team from the Portland metro
area.
Visser, one of the Roller
Dolls’ last board members,
said there are plenty of peo-
ple who understand the value
of derby and want to keep
it going. She said the hope
is to eventually establish an
adult recreational league as a
precursor to returning derby
bouts to the Armory.
“They’re open to it,” she
said of the Friends of the
Armory. “There are a lot of
passionate skaters that are
open to it. It was just the struc-
ture of the nonprofit was really
hard for us to maintain.”
“There are other commu-
nities that have recreation
leagues, and we have such an
incredible venue. It can hap-
pen. It just needs to happen in
a different way.”

vided for those clients. But
nationally, 1 in 5 women will
be sexually assaulted in their
lifetime. One in 71 men will
be sexually assaulted in their
lifetime. A small percentage of
those are reported. Sixty-three
percent of all sexual assaults are
not reported.
Eight out of 10 cases are inti-
mate partners or someone they
know. The others are strangers.
It’s really prevalent in college.
Q: How do you find out
about a sexual assault?
We have a 24-hour crisis
line. We’re completely confi-
dential … the crisis line, just
calling in and getting informa-
tion and coming in in person
and even talking to us, telling
us their story and things like
that, that’s how we’re able to
help them.
I really just wanted to
emphasize that we’re always
here to hear a story, even if you
don’t want prosecution. I think
a lot of people are worried that
we’re going to talk to police.
Q: What else should people
know?
There is help. You’re not
trapped. There are people and
resources that can help. By tell-
ing your story, you’re not going
to be judged here. There’s no
victim-blaming. There’s noth-
ing but listening and trying to
help.
People who have been sexu-
ally assaulted are very ashamed
of it, and are afraid that people
are going to blame them. And I
think that’s a huge reason why
people don’t report things. By
the time they do, the evidence
is gone. The chances of any
prosecution or anything is obvi-
ously diminished.
