The Oregon Depart- ment of Veterans Affairs encourages everyone to support suicide awareness on Sept. 22 in recognition of the 22 veteran suicides that occur across the nation each day. In Oregon, two people die each day by sui- cide and one in five victims of suicide is a veteran.

Hot dogs and all the fixings and Tillamook ice cream will be provided by the Morrow County Vet- erans Services. Music will be by The Jagerbums. Ev- eryone is invited to attend, veterans and non-veterans. A second suicide awareness event will be held at the Port of Morrow Riverfront conference cen- ter on Oct. 27 from noon to 4 p.m., with music provided by Steven K and the Boun- $2,750 ty Hunters. The Morrow County Veterans Services will serve a spaghetti dinner with salad, bread and Tilla- mook ice cream. RSVP to mcvets@co.morrow.or.us by Oct. 12 to secure a meal. Veterans are at risk for suicide for all the reasons a non-veteran might be, such as coping with the effects of aging, legal problems, exposure to bullying behav- ior, relationship problems or financial stress. Additionally, veterans may be dealing with lin- gering effects from their military service, difficulties with readjusting to family roles and civilian life after discharge, and underly- ing mental health and/or substance abuse issues ag- gravated by their military service.

Parents will be contacted to set up confer- ence times. “We have found that beginning the year with open lines of communica- tion has really helped all parties involved,” stated principal Matt Combe. “Parent’s want to know how to best help their stu- dent and this has helped start a positive six year rela- tionship with our school and staff,” stated head teacher Greg Grant. Junior high is such a drastic change in routine and environment, it is important to reach out to parents and students to develop relationships.
