“I think the more we can
have a dialogue about sexu-
al assault the better, so peo-
ple are more comfortable
addressing it and helping
people who are in a danger-
ous situation — giving that
support is so important,” she
said.

help by being positive role
models and showing “respect
and kindness, not violence.”
She said it’s important as
a community to reverse the
“rape culture” that exists,
such as blaming the victim
instead of the attacker, triv-
ializing sexual assault and
tolerating sexual harassment.

people who report sexual as-
sault are telling the truth, and

bring it forward.
“Very seldom is it a
stranger,” she said. “It is
usually a familiar person,
someone who is known to
the victim.
“It’s important to know
that regardless of what hap-
pens in a sexual assault, they
can heal from it. They may
feel ruined, but they can heal
from this and there are sup-
ports to assist in that, and they
can become stronger.”

Heart of Grant County is
another resource available.
Executive director Shelly
Whale said she and the other
staff at Heart are there to offer
support, and, if needed, help
their clients make a safety
plan.
Safety plans can include
emergency safe housing,
transportation to a nearby
shelter, and, under certain cir-
cumstances, they can provide
personal emergency items.
“Sexual assault is one of
the highest unreported crimes
that exists, and of the cases
that do get reported and actu-
ally go to court, only approx-
imately 5 percent get convict-
ed,” Whale said.
She said, if someone does
report a sexual assault, it is
important to listen and believe
them.
“At Heart of Grant County,
we absolutely love to be there
and offer inspiration, support
and encouragement,” she said.
“We want to encourage them
that we’ll be there. To navigate
through the system is daunting
— it’s a very exhausting thing
after already having dealt with
a crime. We listen and believe
and offer encouragement the
whole way.”

Heart of Grant County at 541-

ber is 541-620-1342.

Chris Camarena explains the city’s wastewater

Department of Agriculture Rural Development State
Director Vicki Walker and Community Program
Specialist LaDonn McElligott listen. A USDA Rural
Development loan and grant will allow the city
to upgrade the aging system without increasing
residents’ sewer fees.
“And it should have much
lower operating costs, so it
should eventually save the
city money.”
The city hopes to get the
project started this winter
when the groundwater level
recedes.
