Cidery: Call recently put out for a

Station with fermenta-

He recently put out a call for
a restaurateur interested in
subleasing a kitchen inside
the cidery, similar to The
Woods, a tasting room in
Seattle with food provided
by a food cart turned brick-
and-mortar restaurant. He is
stressing fast and fresh food,
wanting to largely avoid pub
grub staples like burgers and
fries.
“It’s for someone who
knows how to manage the
margins of food,” he said.
“Because if you’re doing
farm-to-table or something
really specific like that, the
margins are a lot less.”
In the basement beneath
the former Deja Vu,
Towsey-French is planning
an unticketed theater for up
to 49 people showing clas-
sic movies. Not charging
for tickets or playing newer
movies makes the licensing
for the venture affordable,
he said.
“We’ll run a week of
(Alfred) Hitchcock, a week
of David Lynch, that kind
of stuff,” he said. “Just hav-
ing something where you
can go down into it and
Clatsop
Community
Action, which offers a num-
ber of services and hous-
ing programs, often catches
homeless people in the mid-
dle of a dark place. When
people come in to use the
agency’s phone, casework-
ers have overheard con-
versations where they talk
about committing suicide,
or the subject will come up
in routine case management
interviews and assessments.
“We see a fair number
and immediate interven-
tion is really needed,” said
Elaine Bruce, the group’s
executive director.
Sometimes a homeless
person they’ve been work-
ing with will come in one
day looking really bad,
Bruce said.
“We ask them if they’re
OK because you never
know what has happened
to them out in the commu-
nity. Homeless people can
get victimized a lot … Peo-
ple are kind of scared of
homeless people, but actu-
ally they’re the ones that get
victimized.”
If someone appears to
be seriously contemplat-
ing suicide, the agency’s
first step is to contact Clat-

it’s a dark, warm and cozy
lounge area. Grab some
cider. Grab a popcorn.”
Towsey-French’s pre-
ferred location connects
via a stairwell on the main
floor and basement with
the Norblad Hotel. Caru-
ana has been renovating
and expanding the number
of hotel rooms to 17, along
with a nearly equal number
of monthly rentals.
“It’s kind of the perfect
marriage between those
two businesses and loca-
tions,” Caruana said of
Reveille.
The departure of The
Harbor, the region’s advo-
cacy group for victims of
sexual and domestic vio-
lence, to the former Snow
& Snow law firm near the
Clatsop County Court-
house left Caruana with
several empty storefronts.
Besides Reveille, he’s close
to bringing in the offices of
the Lower Columbia His-
panic Council on Duane

grated mental health center,

mobile crisis team. But the
crisis team serves the entire
county and may not have a
crisis worker nearby. In that
case, the first responder is a
police officer, who can drive
the person to the hospital to
wait.
‘Lost’
Alan Evans, the direc-
tor of Helping Hands, which
provides re-entry and sub-
stance abuse treatment pro-
grams to the homeless,
believes an internal poll of
the nonprofit’s clients would
reveal that most of them
have contemplated suicide
at some point.
“There’s not a road that
leads to our door,” he said.
“You come to us or get sent
to us because you are lost.”
It’s a struggle Evans
knows personally. He grap-
pled with suicidal thoughts
and made several suicide
attempts earlier in his life
when he was homeless,
dealing with mental health
issues and addicted to drugs.
Because of the difficul-
ties inherent in such a life,
“in the back of people’s
minds, suicide is an option,”
he said.
For Evans, one of the
more crushing realizations
was the fact that he did not
have anyone to call. His
long history of problem-
atic behavior had eroded his
social support and pushed
people away.
One of the most import-
ant first steps organizations
like Helping Hands can
take with clients is simply
to listen, while at the same
time removing some of the
stresses of living on the
streets.
“Sometimes just offering
them an ear and a place to
live is just enough to make
that thought of suicide go
back in the mind,” Evans
said, adding, “We look at
how we can build a founda-
tion for a person to at least
give them the hope that
change can happen.”
Baker and others believe
most people are aware of the
services available to them in
Clatsop County. But Baker
said homeless people likely
face the same stigma, the
same reticence to seek help,
that nearly everyone expe-
riences when struggling
with depression and suicidal
thoughts.
“For all the things you
may think about when you
see someone who is home-
less, you’re still talking
about a human being who
may experience despair to
the point that they want to
end their lives,” she said.
Ducklings: During duckling season, be
on the lookout for ducks crossing roads
Continued from page A1
The Wildlife Center of
the North Coast takes in just
over 100 local ducklings
on average each year. The
partnership with Audubon
could send several hundred
more their way, said Pauline
Baker, rehabilitation coor-
dinator for center.
“We’re anticipating more
and more through June,”
Baker said.
The ducklings will be
released when they are
around 4 to 5 weeks old.
The ones that came from
Portland will go back into
their home watersheds.
For now, volunteers
place feather dusters in
the ducklings’ enclosures
— stationary stand-ins for
absent parents — and ferry
them to small pools so they
can practice swimming and
foraging.
During duckling season,
Herman warns people to
be on the lookout for ducks
crossing roads and to leave
nests alone.
“The best thing to do
with nests — even if they’re
in weird places — is to try
not to disturb them and
allow mom to take care of
them on her own,” she said.
Ginger Nealon
carefully loads the
ducklings into a
container before
moving them to the
swimming pool.
