Or your car antenna. Or wear on your jacket. Columbia Gorg e Chil- dren’s Advocacy Center (CGCAC) is raising aware- ness this April in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month in a variety of ways: With blue ribbons, training seminars, and the group’s annual fundraising event. On April 4, Boy Scout Troop 282 helped tie blue rib- bons — the nationwide sym- bol of child abuse prevention — around trees lining Oak Street, as well as delivered baskets of ribbons to busi- nesses located there. Ribbons were also distributed to Safe- way, Rosauers, Providence and Columbia Gorge Family Medicine, Columbia River Bank, Key Bank, US Bank, CenterPoint Bank, and the Hood River County Court- house. Debi Baskins, CGCAC Di- rector, encourages all com- munity members to pick up a ribbon and wear it this month to show support for victims of child abuse, and as a reminder that abuse oc- curs in every community. “We want to bring an awareness that this is hap- pening, that people need to watch for it, to pay attention to protect our children,” she said. Spring for kids tonight CGCAC is hosting its fourth annual Spring for Kids fundraiser April 18 at Springhouse Cellar Winery, 13 Railroad Street, from 6-10 p.m. The event will include live music by The Groove Project, wood fire pizza by Focolare Pizza, and silent and live auctions — several gift baskets have been donat- ed by local businesses, as have four Disneyland Park Hopper passes, a weekend rental at a beach house, and gift certificates to museums, the zoo, restaurants and movie theaters. Tickets are $20 at the door or by calling 541-436-2960. CGCAC is taking the Blue Ribbon Campaign a step fur- ther this year by offering Darkness to Light training on what will most likely be a monthly basis. Funded by a grant from the Ford Family Foundation, the training pro- gram — called Stewards of Children Sex Abuse Preven- tion Program — will teach adults what to look for and how to prevent abuse. “National statistics show that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys experience sexual abuse before the age of 18,” said Baskins. “I know that shocks a lot of people, but if we talk to our friends, family and neighbors, we will find that, unfortunately, that sta- tistics are true in too many circumstances.” The previous focus on “stranger danger” doesn’t ef- fectively stop abusive situa- tions, she added, because 90 percent of abuse comes from someone the child already knows. Darkness to Light was cre- ated in 2000 with the mission of “reducing the incidence of child sexual abuse through public awareness and educa- tion,” Baskins said. “We be- lieve that learning the facts about childhood sexual abuse helps prevent it.” The first class was held April 15 at 6 p.m. at the Hood River Library. While the training is free, registration is required as space is limit- ed; call Michelle at 541-806- 0901. Those who cannot at- tend this training will have other opportunities in the next 36 months, said Bask- ins, and are invited to check the Darkness to Light web- site (www.d2l.org) for addi- tional dates and times. The program is not appropriate for children. Funds raised support the center’s work in Hood River, Sherman and Wheeler coun- ties, and is sponsored by A Kidz Dental Zone, Cardinal Glass, Columbia Gorge Fam- ily Medicine, DelCarpine Au- tomotive, Providence, and the Johnson/Grizzle family. HOW TO HELP S we e t Pe a P r o j e c t : Cameron Teems, RNC-OB, Family Birth Center nurse at Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital, has orga- nized a collection of new baby blankets for the Sweet Pea Project. Blankets collect- ed will be given to parents as part of the hospital’s perina- tal loss program. Blankets must be new. Homemade blankets are wel- come, but must be made from flannel, fleece, cotton or other similar material.
