A RUN FOR ALL OF US
Red Cross seeks recruits
for disaster training
By Brenna Visser
Cannon Beach Gazette
For those in Cannon
Beach who want to help
in the event of a disaster,
the American Red Cross is
looking to recruit.
Police Chief Jason
Schermerhorn and Amer-
ican Red Cross Disaster
Program Manager Jenny
Carver present a Red Cross
recruiting event 5:30 p.m.
April 27, at the Chamber of
Commerce in the hopes of
educating individuals of the
services and opportunities
available to volunteers.
The event was inspired
after a series of storms in
October threatened the area.
Carver, who was in Cannon
Beach to promote the event,
remembers trying to reach
out to Red Cross volun-
teers in Cannon Beach, but
said she realized there were
none at that time.
“It spurred a conversa-
tion,” Carver said.
Those who attend will
learn about sheltering, di-
saster preparedness and
disaster action team pro-
grams, Carver said.
Anyone can come into it
with any level of commit-
ment, Schermerhorn said.
“We have lots of small
incidents in this area, and
it’s great to pull from any
resources you can,” he said.
“The more people you have
trained, the great pool you
have to draw from.”
Red Cross volunteers of-
ten work closely with other
disaster preparedness like
the Medical Reserve Corps
and CERT, and having vol-
unteers familiar with multi-
ple skills can serve as asset
during a disaster, Schermer-
horn said.
“Some CERT members
may not be needed in a mo-
ment, but could help in a
sheltering capacity, for ex-
ample,” he said.
No matter the situation,
joining means joining a
group of people who have
a heart for helping the com-
munity, Carver said.
“A prepared community
makes a resilient communi-
ty,” Carver said. “The more
families who are trained,
the better of the community
will be.”
Carver also said to ex-
pect a training in sheltering
the first weekend of June.

‘Marilyn’s
Red Hot Chili
Peppers’ to
recall beloved
resident
By Eve Marx
For Cannon Beach Gazette
Marilyn Halbrook will be
leading the 2017 Relay for
Life of Clatsop County if not
in body in spirit. As in-memo-
riam grand marshal at the July
8 event, Halbrook, a former
Seaside resi-
dent who lost
her long battle
with cancer in
2016, will be
remembered
by family with
a team in her
Marilyn
Halbrook
memory.
“Her fami-
ly is coming from all over to
celebrate and honor Marilyn at
this year’s relay,” said Laura
Parvi, the event chairwoman.
The opening ceremony
pays homage to Halbrook’s
fight.
On July 8-9, at Astoria
High School, Relay For Life
of Clatsop County 2017 takes
place as part of the interna-
tionally recognized Relay For
Life, the signature fundrais-
er for the American Cancer
Society. Relays For Life are
staffed and coordinated by
volunteers in more than 5,200
communities in 27 countries.
These events bring commu-
nities together to remember
lost loved ones, honor cancer
survivors, and raise money for
the American Cancer Society.
This year’s theme is “Who is
your superhero?”
“Your superhero could be
your mom you lost to cancer,
your Dad who is fighting the
battle, or maybe your super-
hero is Batman,” Parvi said.
“It doesn’t matter who your
superhero is, we want to cel-
ebrate them all at this years
relay.”
Clatsop County’s Relay
For Life was started in 1994
by Parvi’s father-in-law, Kay
Bredleau.
“Kay was part of a prostate
cancer support group when he
was approached by the Amer-
ican Cancer Society about
starting the Relay in Clatsop
County,” Parvi said. “Kay
was passionate about helping
others, and as a prostate can-
cer survivor, he did not want
his children or grandchildren
to go through what he and his
wife, Evelyn did.”
Parvi got involved with Re-
lay in 1994. Halbrook, a can-
cer survivor, joined in 2000.
“We got to know each oth-
er,” Parvi said. “She was so vi-
brant and outgoing and funny

and she always gave her whole
heart to the relay.”
Two years ago Halbrook
was at the relay wearing a
crown and a purple boa, Parvi
recalled. “Last year was the
first year she couldn’t partici-
pate. She always worked with
survivors; even when she was
going through chemo, she was
always at the meetings and so
engaged.”
Halbrook died Dec. 1, with
the request at her death the
people give to the Relay. Her
great-niece, Ashtyn Routh,
is in charge of a team called
Marilyn’s Red Hot Chili Pep-
pers, raising money in her
memory.
“We chose that name for our
team because Marilyn always
made chili for our family on
the eve of all our holidays and
big events,” Routh said. “Mar-
ilyn was our family matriarch.
She always took on the big
jobs. She didn’t like small plate
things. She liked big plates.”
Parvi is a cancer survivor
herself. “Surgery fixed mine,”
she said. “I’m a nurse at Co-
lumbia Memorial Hospital. I
see the effects cancer and che-
mo and radiation have not just
on the person but their entire
family.”
To sign up for a team, call
503-440-3497 or 503-298-
