talking thirteen years ago, but when we switched
it to August, there was nothing in August.
There used to be nothing in August. Yeah.

time for a bit of real history with
Bushwacker Bruce. Right. Hey, Kat. Good day, mates.
Bushwacker Bruce here, and welcome to this week's
bit of real history for your knowledge pleasure.
Did you know that president Jimmy Carter was
exposed to radiation stopping a meltdown?
(17:23):
It's true. And here's the story. In December
1952,
the NRX reactor at Chalk River Laboratories in
Ontario
suffered a partial meltdown in hydrogen explosions.
The event caused radioactive fuel rods to rupture
inside the reactor core and led to a
spill of radioactive water.
A team of US and Canadian service members
were assembled for the cleanup, and as a
(17:44):
28 year old nuclear expert in training for
the submarine program, Carter was among the few
people in the world cleared to enter a
damaged nuclear reactor. He was assigned to lead
the team of 22 men tasked with disassembling
the reactor.
Because of the extremely odd radiation levels, workers
could only spend ninety second intervals inside the
reactor core. To prepare, the team practiced extensively
(18:06):
on a full scale mock up of the
reactor built on a nearby tennis court.
During his turn, Carter descended into the reactor
and was exposed to about a year's maximum
annual radiation dose in just over a minute.
Well, the mission was a success, and the
rebuilt reactor was back in operation within two
years. However, the radiation exposure had a personal
cost for Carter and his team. The radiation
(18:27):
exposure he and his team received was an
estimated thousand times higher than modern safety standards
would allow. This experience gave Carter firsthand knowledge
of the dangers of nuclear power, which would
later influence his approach to energy policy as
president.
Well, if you enjoyed this week's bit realist
with yours truly, Bushwacker Bruce. Till next time,
always keep it real.
(18:54):
There you go. Yeah. So he went through
it, so he knew what he was talking
about. Yeah. No kidding. Personal experience. That's right.
Yeah. Yeah. Heck of a way to get
personal experience. Yeah.

Yeah. One of these days, he might care.
Unfortunately,
I want him to be a scout more
than he does at this point right now.
Yeah. Because I wanna get involved and have
some fun with it, you know, and everything.
I know. Yeah. Because I was a boy
scout. But, you know I guess you could
just volunteer and give him, like, you know,
a fear of missing out. Oh, yeah. You're
just like, well, you know what? You don't
wanna be a scout? I'm just gonna go
volunteer. There you go. Monday night's bite. Oh,
(23:28):
hey. You know?
That's that's a good idea, actually. But it's
like, yeah. It's just kind of a bummer.
I was hoping he would, but I'll I'll
talk him into it eventually here. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. There you go.
Hey. Speaking of the blood drives, American Red
Cross, Curry County blood drives, the need for
blood is constant, and sometimes that needs becomes
critical. That's why the American Red Cross needs
you to make an appointment to give blood.
You can call +1 800
(23:49):
or visit redcrossblood.0rg.
Give something that means something. Give blood. There
you go. And I guess you can get
it set up to go to the at
the at the hospital. Right? Or whatever the
heck here? I I'm not sure what you
Wait. Where would you get it if you
were doing it? Where wasn't it one of
the places like the, Elks or at the
library? Oh, to donate blood? Yeah. Yeah. I,
honestly
number, what would happen? Well, if they if
(24:11):
you call that, they're gonna connect you to
whatever, blood drive event is is coming up
and get you scheduled for an appointment. Okay.
Okay. Okay. For your schedule I was curious
how to work. That's convenient for you to
get to. Swaying. Okay. Yeah. But, these blood
drives are are frequently they're, they're, you know,
community organizations that are hosting volunteers from the
Red Cross and staff members from the Red
(24:31):
Cross who come in and bring in their
equipment and and collect blood because we don't
have, like, a Red Cross outpost here. Like,
they they come from the valley,
over here to do that. And, then they
the reason they come as regularly as they
do is because so many people in this
community are are really generous in donating those.
Oh, good. Yeah. Mhmm. Very cool. Yeah. Oh,
sweet. I I I'm just curious about that.
Yeah. Who who comes or what do you
(24:51):
do when they call? That's perfect. Good. I
got that. Yeah. So they just connect you
to the closest one. Right on. Very cool.

(02:09):
more like I said, in August, when we
changed the Pirate Festival I mean, this is
talking thirteen years ago, but when we switched
it to August, there was nothing in August.
There used to be nothing in August. Yeah.

I think I'll have this thing done, especially
with the winter and everything. You know? And
I don't have events going on. I wanna
get it done before the events start happening
up again. So that's it right there. But
That's fair enough. Yeah. So that's all we
did there, and then we enjoyed the rain,
(03:35):
of course, when it and the time that
it was not raining.

that. It's good. Yeah. Weather. Yeah. You just
if you can watch it. Yeah. So far,
the weather thing has been pretty good, you

to me, I was telling everybody
if,
actually, October, we're in October, and we haven't
already been swamped, like, weeks of rain in
(03:57):
a row type thing. You know? Usually in
October time it starts starts running in October,

we're on par for the course for for
rainy Yeah. Rainy days coming in. Yeah. Yeah.
It's just kinda like spurting in, coming in
dispersing them towards the end. It'll start getting
a little weird probably. Yeah. But that's alright.

time for a bit of real history with
Bushwacker Bruce. Right. Hey, Kat. Good day, mates.
Bushwacker Bruce here, and welcome to this week's
bit of real history for your knowledge pleasure.
Did you know that president Jimmy Carter was
exposed to radiation stopping a meltdown?
(17:23):
It's true. And here's the story. In December
1952,
the NRX reactor at Chalk River Laboratories in
Ontario
suffered a partial meltdown in hydrogen explosions.
The event caused radioactive fuel rods to rupture
inside the reactor core and led to a
spill of radioactive water.
A team of US and Canadian service members
were assembled for the cleanup, and as a
(17:44):
28 year old nuclear expert in training for
the submarine program, Carter was among the few
people in the world cleared to enter a
damaged nuclear reactor. He was assigned to lead
the team of 22 men tasked with disassembling
the reactor.
Because of the extremely odd radiation levels, workers
could only spend ninety second intervals inside the
reactor core. To prepare, the team practiced extensively
(18:06):
on a full scale mock up of the
reactor built on a nearby tennis court.
During his turn, Carter descended into the reactor
and was exposed to about a year's maximum
annual radiation dose in just over a minute.
Well, the mission was a success, and the
rebuilt reactor was back in operation within two
years. However, the radiation exposure had a personal
cost for Carter and his team. The radiation
(18:27):
exposure he and his team received was an
estimated thousand times higher than modern safety standards
would allow. This experience gave Carter firsthand knowledge
of the dangers of nuclear power, which would
later influence his approach to energy policy as
president.
Well, if you enjoyed this week's bit realist
with yours truly, Bushwacker Bruce. Till next time,
always keep it real.
(18:54):

to do something to help give back to
the community you love. Hey. If you'd like
to help out your fellow human beings, then
Meals on Wheels. Hey. They're looking for you.
By delivering a hot meal to those who
are home ridden, you not only help someone
(21:23):
who's hungry, but you also bring a bit
of kindness into their lives, a friendly face
for them to see every day, and social
contact they may not have otherwise.
There are three routes that deliver hot meals
to about 60 seniors on a daily basis.
Each route takes about one and a half
hours. You can volunteer by the day, the
week, biweekly, bimonthly, even if it is just
one day a week, one day a month,
(21:43):
whatever works for you. Every little bit helps.
If you're interested in helping in this great
cause for the community, please contact Meals on
Wheels via the Checo activity center. (541) 469-6822.

out going, you know what? What can I
do? You know? And I mean, that is
something really cool to me. Really great way
to help. If I'm already so busy, if
(22:04):
my life wasn't already chaotic, you know, down
the line or whatever, I'm gonna do that
too. I think that's very nice to do
and everything I got. But if you're just
out there hanging out, man, hey.
Go Yeah. Meet some people. Yeah. Feed them.

another PSA here from the, Brookings Harbor Scouts
of America. They're scouting for new troop members,

accepting new scouts as well as adults interested
in volunteering. And scouts can join the troops
from fifth grade to age 17.

they're over 21 years old, can pass a
background check, and are willing to spend about
an hour and a half completing a youth
protection training course. They meet at Scout Hall
seven to 08:30PM
every Monday night except for holidays,
(22:46):

Yeah. One of these days, he might care.
Unfortunately,
I want him to be a scout more
than he does at this point right now.
Yeah. Because I wanna get involved and have
some fun with it, you know, and everything.
I know. Yeah. Because I was a boy
scout. But, you know I guess you could
just volunteer and give him, like, you know,
a fear of missing out. Oh, yeah. You're
just like, well, you know what? You don't
wanna be a scout? I'm just gonna go
volunteer. There you go. Monday night's bite. Oh,

That's that's a good idea, actually. But it's
like, yeah. It's just kind of a bummer.

how to work. That's convenient for you to
get to. Swaying. Okay. Yeah. But, these blood
drives are are frequently they're, they're, you know,
community organizations that are hosting volunteers from the
Red Cross and staff members from the Red
(24:31):
Cross who come in and bring in their
equipment and and collect blood because we don't
have, like, a Red Cross outpost here. Like,
they they come from the valley,
over here to do that. And, then they
the reason they come as regularly as they
do is because so many people in this
community are are really generous in donating those.
Oh, good. Yeah. Mhmm. Very cool. Yeah. Oh,
sweet. I I I'm just curious about that.
Yeah. Who who comes or what do you
(24:51):
do when they call? That's perfect. Good. I
