While it is important for people to know about contami- nants in shellfish, it is equally important to keep shellfish on the table. Health officials con- tinue to encourage everyone to eat a variety of shellfish as part of a healthy diet. “Because eating shellfish and other aquatic species can be an important part of a healthy diet, we want people to continue eating shellfish,” said toxicologist David Farrer, Ph.D., of OHA’s Public Health Division. “If they plan to con- sume soft-shell clams, we just recommend they remove the siphon skin before eating them.” To learn more online about why fish is good for you and get information about fish con- sumption advisories in Oregon, visit www.healthoregon.org/ fishadv.

BG Club sports meeting set The Boys and Girls Club of Western Lane County will be holding its 2015-16 sports sea- son kick-off meeting on July 22, at 6 p.m., at the Teen Center, 1601 15th St. Volunteer coaches are need- ed for tackle football, flag GOLF Ocean Dunes from 1B coast had the most arsenic; clams on the south coast had the least arsenic; clams on the central coast were in between. Those planning to eat soft- shell clams with siphon skins intact should review the OHA’s recommended meal limits, which are available at www .healthoregon.org/fishadv. The advisory does not include other species of shell- fish. In addition to soft-shell clams, DEQ tested Olympia oysters (a native species of oyster), California mussels, and purple varnish clams, and determined these species are not of concern. The tests looked for a wide range of potential contami- nants, including other metals such as cadmium, mercury, and selenium; chlorinated pesti- cides like DDT and chlordane; polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); dioxins and furans; tributyl tin; and brominated flame retardants (polybromi- nated diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs). None of these other contam- inants were present at high enough concentrations to pose a public health risk. Public health officials say that since the arsenic contami- nating the clams is naturally occurring, the advisory is like- ly to be permanent. By issuing the advisory, health officials hope to increase S CORES & S TANDINGS football, fall soccer, cheer squad, volleyball, basketball, spring soccer and softball. Referees also are needed.
