for guest speakers to join monthly Hamletmeetings, sent to [email protected]. Ideasdiscussed were programs/grants for privateforestland owners, earthquake preparedness,CPR, amateur/ham radio, well maintenance, areview of Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA)process, composting, educationalopportunities at CCC, and Clackamas DogServices.

One resident asked about Korner Park andwhether we should add a play structure.Attendees got a short history lesson of the“park” and how it came to be. Afterunderground oil tanks leaked, the County tookover the land, but it is maintained by the localcommunity (currently the Hamlet and BeaverCreek Telephone Company; formerly theBoosters did a lot of work to build andmaintain it). As it’s not an official “park,” the

community hasn’t treated it as such.

Every three days, an Oregon veteran takes hisor her life. According to the latest data from


the VA, Oregon veterans commit suicide at arate that is significantly higher than thestate’s general suicide rate. In Oregon,veterans represent only 8 percent of thepopulation, but account for 16 percent of thesuicides.

Veteran advocates across the state and nationare investing significant resources to addressthe issues believed to be risk factors forveteran suicide. Both nationally and in ourstate, data is informing the policy and fundingto address the core issues impacting veteransuicide. This data is also influencing how wedo outreach and the community partners thatare crucial to ending this crisis.

Taking a hard look at the data helps advocatesidentify groups with a high risk for suicidethat might otherwise be overlooked, like the

aging population (55 and older), which inour state, comprises 60 percent of veteransuicides.

“As a veteran, these numbers are deeplypainful to me,” said Kelly Fitzpatrick, newlyappointed director of the OregonDepartment of Veterans’ Affairs. “When wewere in service, our most basic instinct wasto protect the one on our right and the oneon our left, and those instincts don’t just goaway after we leave the service.”

Suicide has become a public health concernthat causes immeasurable pain amongindividuals, families, and communitiesacross the country. Veterans specifically,are committing suicide at a much higherrate than that of the general population.The VA estimates that the national numberof veterans who take their own lives is 22people every single day.

“Every single one of those 22 veteransmatters in infinite ways,” Fitzpatrick said.

“Every veteran matters. Each has served hisor her county and the impacts of their serviceare as unique as they are. Although veteransall gain great strength from serving ourcountry, it’s not surprising that many of usalso face challenges when reintegrating backinto civilian life. These challenges can easilylead to crisis, depending on the individual’sexperiences, support network (or lackthereof) and other factors.”

On average, 70 percent of veterans who endtheir lives never engaged the VA for services.Just as every veteran matters, so does everyaccessible wraparound service to address themyriad of risk factors that increase thelikelihood of a veteran taking their own life.Major risk factors include: a prior suicideattempt, mental health conditions, stressfullife events such as the loss of a major


relationship, job loss, the death of a loved one,and the availability of lethal means.

Veterans may have additional unique riskfactors from their service that increase theirlikelihood to commit suicide including aservice-related injury (mental and physical),and life transition from military service tocivilian life. Both of these factors, leftunresolved may increase their likelihood ofchoosing to end their life.

And this work is not happening only on anational level. Here in Oregon, Gov. KateBrown has made it one of her administration’stop priorities to end veteran suicide in ourstate, by taking concrete steps to ensure at-risk veterans have adequate access to care,housing and mental health treatment.

Veteran advocates need the community’s helpto raise awareness of veteran suicide and theresources that exist. Oregon veterans need toknow that regardless of the life circumstances,there is an entire community behind themwho understands and has the best expert helpand resources available to help them addressthe very real life issues they are experiencing.

“We must also work together to remove thestigma associated with asking for help,”Fitzpatrick said. “Military service membersundergo rigorous training to be self-reliant, sothe challenge of admitting you are facingsomething you can’t overcome on your own isoften harder for veterans than civilians. Otherveterans are key in this. Those who have facedmental health challenges can offer greatstrength and courage to veterans in crisissimply by being open and honest about theirown stories.”

Any veteran or person concerned for a veteranin crisis can call the confidential 24/7 National

Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Veterans PRESS 1. The NationalSuicide Prevention Lifeline website has crisisand longer-term self-care information forveterans, as well as information for friendsand families who are concerned for their lovedone, including finding support, asking for helpand stories from survivors of suicide attempts.

During the upcoming holidays, State FireMarshal Jim Walker is reminding Oregoniansto keep fire safety in mind when cooking andpreparing holiday meals. Cooking was theleading cause of residential structure firesover the past five years (2013-2017), causingan average of 19 percent of Oregon’s totalresidential structure fires. On average, thereare 533 cooking-caused residential structurefires per year. “By following a few fireprevention and safety tips, you can help keepyour family safer from the dangers of fire thisholiday season. “ says Walker.

Cooking safety tips:- Keep a close eye on what you are cooking,heat cooking oil slowly, and never leavecooking food unattended. If you need to leavethe kitchen, turn off the stove or set a timer.- Have a “kid and pet-free zone” of at leastthree feet around the stove and areas wherehot foods or drinks are prepared or carried.- Keep pot and pan handles turned inward onthe stove to avoid bumping them and spillinghot food.

If you have a cooking fire:- Always keep a lid nearby to smother smallfires. Smother the flames by carefully sliding


the lid over the pan.Turn off the burner anddon’t move the panuntil it is completelycool.- Never pour water on agrease fire; it cansplatter the grease andspread the fire.- When in doubt, getout! Call 9-1-1 after youleave.

Turkey fryer safety:- The OSFMdiscourages the use ofoutdoor gas-fueledturkey fryers that cookthe turkey in hot oil.The use of deep fatturkey fryers can lead todevastating burns,other injuries, and thedestruction of property.- The OSFM urges thosewho prefer fried turkeyto seek out aprofessionalestablishment, such asgrocery stores, specialtyfood retailers, andrestaurants, for thepreparation of the dish,or consider an “oil-less”turkey fryer.

Make sure you havesmoke alarms on everylevel of your home,outside each sleepingarea, and in everybedroom. Test smokealarms monthly andreplace them if they are10 years old or older.
