A2 Hood River News, Saturday, April 25, 2015 THE P orch Next Door’s ‘Table of Friends’ returns May 1 Get ready to know your onions at Table of F riends, T he Next Door’s annual benefit din- ner and dessert auction, May 1 with the theme, “Puttin’ On The Ritz” from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at Springhouse Cellars. Take yourself back to the Roaring Twenties with great food from Chef Mark Whitehead of Ahi’s Ohana Catering, and live music. For those so in- clined, get your Roar- ing Twenties beaded dress out of the attic and start practicing the Charleston. But if you’re not inclined, Ish Kabibble! You don’t have to be togged to the WELL DONE: Ink drawings by Kristina Cancel- mi (above) on display through April 30 at Dog River Coffee. These bittersweet observations on love and life employe images and words, including a lyric by the 1980s Scottish band Big Country. Cancelmi is the graphic artist for Full Sail Brewing. SCENE and Heard: A second-grader going to school in home-made high heels: tennis shoes, wood- en blocks, and duct tape … A casual survey of the new bike rack at Third and State suggests no takers yet by bicyclists mooring their rides, but one day last week they were just the right height for a run- ner stretching out using the in-ground hoop bars. (By the way, City Council agenda on Monday in- cludes closure of the public restroom located below City Hall, now that the new Third and State facility is open.) On the streets: Walking down Oak, give a mo- ment of thought to victims of child abuse when you see the blue ribbons tied to trees, benches and other places. It’s part of the April Blue Ribbon Campaign honoring victims of child abuse. The first annual Blossom Time window decorat- ing contest never really took off, but businesses in- cluding Doug’s and Sophie’s Alpaca on Oak Street deserve credit for filling their windows with flowers and garden implements and other symbols of spring. Maybe next year more businesses will let the Chamber know they’ve put up seasonal adorn- ments. — Kirby Neumann-Rea GET INVOLVED For details on table host- ing and sponsorship, call Carolyn Zuck at 541-436-0311. bricks to have fun. The thrill of the night is a live dessert auction, where friends hit on all sixes, bidding together to win ducky desserts made by incredible local bakers – all in support of vulner- able children in our com- munity,” said Carolyn Zuck of The Next Door. Tickets are $45, avail- able at Waucoma Book- store and The Next Door, 965 Tucker Rd. in Hood River. Hundreds of local fami- lies and children benefit from the services provid- ed by New Parent Ser- vices. However, every year dozens of families are turned away due to lack of funding, making this event especially impor- tant. “The goal of our home visiting program is to pre- vent child abuse. Child abuse prevention is a fun- damental first step in strengthening families and communities, pre- venting crime and reduc- ing violence,” said Julie Ryan, program supervi- sor. Nearly every social ill can be connected to child abuse or neglect, accord- ing to Ryan. The National institute of Justice re- ports that child abuse in- creases the likelihood of juvenile arrest by 59 per- cent and of adult criminal behavior by 30 percent. Additionally, the National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that two thirds of people in drug treatment were victims of child abuse or neglect. The di- rect financial impact of child abuse nationwide is estimated at $24 billion annually. Reece receives Ford Foundation scholarship The Ford Family Founda- tion of Roseburg, Ore., has recognized Parkdale resi- dent Kristin Reese with a Ford Community Fellowship award.

Each Fellow develops a work plan to explore, learn, and practice the art of com- munity building during their 1-3 year fellowship.

A resident of the Columbia Gorge area for 17 years, she has dedicated the last 15 of them to directing all aspects of a youth leader- ship program in Hood River County, Leaders for Tomor- row, which is a program of The Next Door. Reese is pilot- ing Leaders for Tomorrow this year at Wahtonka Com- munity School in The Dalles. “I believe we are called to create the community we de- sire,” she said. “I have had the good fortune to work every day for organizations and with people who have an inspired vision for the fu- ture.” Reese serves as advisor to the student Lions group, the Leos Club, and she is a famil- iar face at the Leos’ Can and Bottle Collections on the first Saturday of each month. She is a member of Hood River Lions and The Dalles Kiwa- nis clubs.
