New Department of Human Services Facility opens

The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) cut the ribbon on a new building in Brookings on August 5, 2024.

The new Brookings building will help the south coast community by bringing together many ODHS programs in one place. This means people won’t have to travel far from Brookings and nearby areas.

People will have one place to sign up for critical beneﬁts like SNAP, Oregon Health Plan and childcare. They’ll also be able to meet someone who can talk through options for an aging loved one or for someone with a physical disability looking for work. All of these services will be available at the new Brookings location.

“This new building will improve access to our services

New teen club starting courtesy of local Lion’s Chapter

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Curry Coastal Pilot

The Lion’s Club of Brookings-Harbor announced a new community initiative for the area’s teenagers. The Leo’s Club is a new group that the Lions hope will turn tomorrow’s leaders into today’s good Samaritans.

“This club encourages leadership, opportunity, teamwork, and community involvement,” states the Lion’s Club announcement.

The club will be participating in community outreach and upkeep with activities like beach and park clean-ups, service for local seniors, and a revival of the Teen Hangout, a monthly teen meeting that unfortunately had to halt.

“The Lions have Leo’s groups throughout Oregon, well nationwide, but we didn’t have one here in Brookings, so we decided to start it with some of the kids from the Teen Hangout. So we have 10 now that have joined, and we need 13 for a an ofﬁcial charter, so we’re having this recruitment afternoon,” said Marianne Baxter, Lion and advisor for the Leos.

That ﬁrst meeting will take place Saturday, September 7th, from 2-4 p.m. at the Chetco Community Library’s Forest Room. All local teens from ages 13-18 are welcome and encouraged to come make new friends and engage in uplifting the community.

The projects the Leo’s have planned are all decided on by the group of teens, themselves. Learning essential skills along the way, Leo’s Club members will get

Asbestos exposure may concern Oregon veterans even today

BY CRISTINA JOHNSON Guest Column

The U.S. military resorted to asbestoscontaining products throughout the last century as WWII demanded accessible materials for military equipment. Asbestos was abundant in the markets and became the material of choice for the military industry. All ﬁve branches of the armed forces used these durable products due to their fair price. It resulted in many service members being exposed to asbestos, especially veterans of the Second World War, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The growing number of toxic exposure cases among our veterans today underlines the health risks they assumed, in addition to the challenges of service. Many of them now have fragile health and may have to deal with severe asbestos diseases linked to their military years.

Asbestos contaminated most military bases throughout the state

Asbestos’s heat and corrosion resistance was favored in all industries, including the military, and nobody considered asbestos dust a health threat. It is why the risk of developing asbestos diseases remains a concern for all veterans who might have asbestos ﬁbers in their lungs, including those in Oregon’s veteran community and Curry County’s veteran population. Although all the military applied asbestos, the Navy

BY STEVE LUNDEBERG Guest Article

Safeguarding places to hang ten and shoot the curl is an opportunity to simultaneously mitigate climate change, fuel tourism and help surrounding ecosystems, new research has shown.

“There is a growing conservation movement regarding coastal areas that host surf breaks,” said Jacob Bukoski of Oregon State University, one of the study’s co-authors. “Earlier research showed that surf breaks tend to be biodiversity hotspots, but no one had looked at the stocks of carbon held within these ecosystems – carbon that could drive climate change if disturbed and lost.”

In study published in Conservation Science & Practice, Bukoski and collaborators identiﬁed more than 88 million tonnes of “irrecoverable” carbon in the land-based ecosystems surrounding 3,602 surf breaks around the globe.

Surf breaks, nearshore areas whose special mix of coastal and seaﬂoor characteristics creates waves surfers crave, are often found in or near ecosystems that are conservation priorities, such as coral reefs and mangrove forests.

Irrecoverable carbon is deﬁned as carbon stored in nature that, if lost, could not be replenished within 30 years. Carbon sequestration is a key component of climate change mitigation.

Bukoski, a faculty member in the OSU College of Forestry, stresses that the study did not take into account the signiﬁcant, but harder to quantify, carbon stocks in the marine portion of surf break areas.

The scientists looked at 28,500 square kilometers of watersheds that drain into surf areas. Their analysis showed that more than 17 million tonnes of irrecoverable surf break carbon are found in places categorized as key biodiversity areas but lacking any kind of formal protection. Just 3% of surf breaks are both formally protected and in a key biodiversity area.

Irrecoverable carbon density in surf ecosystems tends to be highest in the tropics and gets lower farther from the equator, with the exception of coastal forests in the Paciﬁc Northwest.

“Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests and temperate conifer forests combined to hold nearly one-quarter of the carbon we found,” said Bukoski, who collaborated with scientists from Conservation International, Save the Waves Coalition, California State University, Channel Islands, and Arizona State University.

Oregon ranks second among U.S. states in irrecoverable surf break carbon at almost 3.5 million tonnes. California, at just under 7 million tonnes, leads the way, and rounding out the top 10 are North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Washington, Virginia, New Jersey, South Carolina and Massachusetts.

Increasingly, surf breaks are being recognized as socio-environmental phenomena that can bring opportunity for sustained beneﬁts for local communities, the authors say. They point to the potential intersection of the surf tourism industry, valued at as much as $65 billion globally, and the carbon offset market, where credits are trading at a price of about $10 per tonne of carbon dioxide.

“Despite their high and multifaceted value, surf breaks and their surrounding environments face all kinds of threats, including coastal development, degradation of habitats, and impacts from climate change like rising sea levels,” Bukoski said. “When carbon-dense ecosystems are converted to other uses, they pump out large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Expanded conservation of surf ecosystems – both their marine and onshore components – could provide a range of beneﬁts in addition to biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation.”

Coastal estuaries, he explains, help with nutrient cycling, control sedimentation and act as nurseries for young ﬁsh.

Healthy upland ecosystems reduce erosion, which means better habitats and reduced illness risk to surfers because of improved water quality.

“Coral reefs shape surf breaks and provide ﬁshing grounds, offer non-surﬁng recreational opportunities such as diving, and protect shorelines,” Bukoski said. “And just as importantly, ecosystems associated with surf breaks are culturally and spiritually valuable to communities around the world.”

He notes that irrecoverable carbon constitutes only a fraction of the total carbon stored in surf ecosystems. Given resource and time constraints, irrecoverable is the type of carbon that should be prioritized for conservation, “but any carbon lost to ecosystem conversion will affect the climate.”

“Our results suggest a signiﬁcant opportunity for surf conservation to strengthen protection of climate-critical carbon stocks,” Bukoski said. “At the end of the day, we should be shredding waves, not ecosystem carbon.”

Crescent City Harbor District Seeks Proposals for Environmental Site Assessment

The Crescent City Harbor District is inviting proposals for a comprehensive Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and potentially a Phase II ESA for the 2.42-acre property located at 121 Starﬁsh Way, Crescent City, California. This assessment is a crucial step in evaluating the property’s suitability for future use.

The site, which was previously occupied by a boat repair facility for 46 years, includes a 9,000 sq. ft. repair building, a 1,000 sq. ft. shop, a 7,000 sq. ft. drainage basin, and a 135’ x 40’ synchrolift. The facility has been inactive for the past two years, and the site may have environmental concerns due to past operations including sandblasting, painting, and other maintenance activities.

Key Dates:

- Pre-Proposal Conference Call: September 9th at 11:00 AM. Dial-in number: (701) 802-5242, Access code: 3682930.

- Site Tour: September 16th at 1:00 PM (attendance required)

- Proposal Submission Deadline: September 30th by 5:00 PM

The scope of work for the Phase I ESA includes a records review, site reconnaissance, interviews, and the preparation of detailed reports. Depending on initial ﬁndings, Phase II ESA may involve soil and water sampling and laboratory analysis. Proposals will be evaluated based on completeness, qualiﬁcations of personnel, ability to meet scope requirements, and cost. The District reserves the right to extend or issue a new RFP for Phase II based on the results of the Phase I assessment. For more information or to submit proposals, contact Tim Petrick, CEO/Harbormaster, at tpetrick@ccharbor.com or visit the Crescent City Harbor District’s website. Contact: Tim Petrick

“They’ve already gotten a few projects they want to do. One of which is they want to go to all the senior centers in Brookings and Harbor to visit with the seniors and play games with them near Christmas. And they’re going to do some beach cleanups, and we’re hoping to coordinate with Manley Art Center to do an art project and a fundraiser based around it,” continued Baxter. Not to mention community service and

club involvement always look great on any job or college application. That said, the Lion’s Club’s annual scholarships will also give priority to Leo’s and those working with the organization.

The Lion’s Club proper celebrated its 70th anniversary of service to Brookings-Harbor last year.

Established in 1953, the organization has provided opportunities to the community’s less fortunate through multiple local initiatives. Hearing and vision aid, the Kans4Kids recycling program, and the Flags for First Graders are just the start of the Lions’ commitment to bettering Brookings and Harbor.

exploited it the most. Thus, personnel onboard naval vessels built before the 1980s were at an exceptionally high risk of asbestos exposure. Even so, this fact doesn’t diminish the asbestos exposure risks of those serving in military camps throughout the U.S. Toxic contaminants represent health and environmental risks on military sites, and expo-sure to these hazardous substances is a severe issue requiring more attention, investigation, and, in most cases, immediate action after discovery. Oregon’s WWII history includes Fort Stevens, Camp Clatsop, the Tongue Point naval station, and Swan Island Shipyard, all part of the numerous military facilities Oregon hosted during the war. The state is home to Na-val Base Newport, a signiﬁcant U.S. Navy training and research center and one of the Navy’s oldest bases, which served as the which served as the central location for training and education in the

Asbestos exposure behind veterans’ deteriorating health Veterans worked and lived near asbestos materials while in the military, unaware of the danger they represented. Asbestos breaks into microscopic particles if disturbed, forming dust that lingers in the air for hours. It’s the white dust many veterans remember. These sharp-edged microscopic asbestos threads are easy to inhale or ingest, and once inside the body, they cause permanent damage to the tissue of major organs and generate life-altering diseases.

One of the most terrible aspects of asbestosrelated illnesses is the decades-long latency period between the initial exposure and the ﬁrst symptoms. By the time signs of

appear, the condition has already reached an advanced stage. While veterans may not have experienced health issues during their service, some of them have to deal with the effects of asbestos exposure when they are diagnosed with illnesses linked to it, like mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, or other severe respiratory conditions.

The ongoing struggle for well-being after asbestos exposure

Although many years have passed since the U.S. military used asbestos, veterans who were in contact with it during their service now have to ﬁght for their health. Many must accept that their asbestos disease will shorten their lives, as no existing treatment can reverse the damage done by asbestos. Today’s medical procedures can only slow the progression, relieve symptoms, and prevent complications.

With Oregon ranking 22nd in the U.S. for asbestos-related deaths, veterans should schedule periodic check-ups to

Timely detection is crucial in asbestosrelated diseases because it considerably improves treatment results and prolongs life expectancy. That is why former service members should proactively protect their health through periodic health check-ups, learn their legal rights, and promote awareness.

Going to regular health check-ups and, while there, being forthcoming with doctors about military service and potential asbestos exposure are vital steps. Inhaled asbestos fibers affect the lungs first, so veterans should undergo chest X-rays or CT scans and pulmonary function (breathing) tests. These noninvasive tests reveal any injury caused by the asbestos fibers and are reliable in diagnosing benign and malignant asbestos conditions.

Veterans who know they’ve served in an asbestos-contaminated environment or those who suspect they’ve been exposed during the military years should know their rights and options. Compensation

programs and legal avenues are available through asbestos trust funds and Veterans Affairs to help those harmed by asbestos exposure, and veterans need to be informed about these resources.

Former service members can help raise awareness by sharing their knowledge about asbestos exposure risks. Openly speaking about their experiences can facilitate passing vital information to others who fought for our country.

PACT Act helps Maryland veterans and their families In 2022, the 117th U.S. Congress enacted The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022, known as the PACT Act. The new law aimed to improve health care and compensations for veterans exposed to toxic substances and was also supported by Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley. The Act extends eligibility for V.A. health care for retired military members exposed to harmful substances during active duty and

provides veterans with the care and beneﬁts they deserve.

Thanks to this new law, approximately 3.5 million toxic-exposed veterans will be eligible for ex-tended V.A. benefits. Since the passage of the PACT Act, over 4 million veterans have been screened for toxic exposure, and nearly 350,000 US citizens have been approved for expanded benefits. In Oregon, approximately 9,000 veterans have filed PACT Act claims, and over 3,000 veterans received expanded benefits.
