FIGHTING CHILD ABUSE
Blue Ribbon Campaign
continues to shine light
By TRISHA WALKER
News staff writer
It’s time to tie a blue rib-
bon around the ol’ oak tree.
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. Blan-
kets of all sizes can be
dropped off through April 17
in the hospital lobby; look for
the collection barrel. For
