Update Wh-chu-wiini (4) July 31, 2009 Of Four Corners Interest Youth PhotoVoice Exhibit and Discussion The Dragon Youth Project of San Juan Basin Health Department invites the public to a photography exhibit and discussion on health issues among Bayfield teens on August 5th from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Bayfield Town Hall. The La Plata County EPIC Team is a Bayfield youth-led team concerned with helping their peers make healthy choices. EPIC will be presenting on their recently completed Photovoice project. Photovoice is a method of research that engages a community by giving cameras to the people living within that community — whose voices are not often heard — so that they may identify and represent community issues concerning them through photographs. The Bayfield project focused on adolescent health including access to health services and teen pregnancy prevention. Please join us at the Bayfield Town Hall, August 5, 2009 from 6-7:30pm. Light refreshments will be served. For more information contact Kendra at (970) 247-5702 ext 225 or kendra@sjbhd.org.

Solix Biofuel Plant/Alternative Energy • from page 1 two-acre site in southwestern Colorado, on land provided by Solix’s partner, Southern Ute Alternative Energy, and is integrated with two other Tribal companies. These companies are providing valuable inputs needed for growing algae in the form of natural gas, CO2 and produced water to the Coyote Gulch Demonstrations Facility. Solix has plans to expand to more acres of production at the Coyote Gulch location in the near future. In addition, as the site expands, the Coyote Gulch Demonstration Facility will provide new jobs to the Durango area in southwestern Colorado. Southern Ute Tribal Council members recently visited the Fort Collins facility. “Renewable energy is vitally important to the future of our Tribe and the nation. We believe that algae has great promise as a fuel for the future,” said Southern Ute Tribal Council Chairman, Matthew Box, “moving this facility into production is a key milestone to future success.” Contributing to this new era of algal fuel production makes Solix an alternative energy industry leader. “Solix’s technology responds to the strategic imperatives of the new energy economy, namely renewable sources of energy, diversification from petroleum-based fossil fuels and job creation. We are excited to be creating a viable alternative energy source to petroleum-based fuels and new jobs in the process,” said Rich Schoonover, Solix’s chief operating officer. Solix and Southern Ute Alternative Energy are working to finalize plans for providing an August tour of the facility for all interested Southern Ute Tribal Members. More details about the coordination surrounding this event will be made available in early August. About Solix Biofuels Solix Biofuels, Inc., based in Fort Collins, Colo., is an alternative energy production technology company with emphasis on supplying low-cost, scalable photobioreactors that will enable the global production of biofuels using microalgae as a feedstock. Solix, spun out of Colorado State University, is an intellectual descendant of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Aquatic Species Program, which started in 1978 to explore ways to produce biodiesel from algae. In early 2006, Solix was created to continue this work, with a goal of creating a commercially viable biofuel that will help solve climate change and petroleum scarcity without competing with global food supply.

July 31, 2009 Mahni-gey-knee (5) Health Healthy Perspectives: “Types Of Arthritis” by Dr. Matthew Clark, MD Southern Ute Health Clinic By definition, arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints. Joints includes parts of the body where two or more bones come together- including the shoulders, knees, back, neck, hips, and so forth. Joint pain is one of the most common symptoms of arthritis. For others, stiffness may be a common symptom. Arthritis comes in many different varieties. Generally, arthritis is divided into two major categories: degenerative arthritis and inflammatory arthritis. Degenerative arthritis is also known as osteoarthritis and it often results from the “wear and tear” activities of living. For most persons, this form of arthritis begins later in life, usually in the 6th or 7th decade. Yet for some with prior history of joint injury, degenerative arthritis can occur earlier in the affected joint. Osteoarthritis occurs when the soft, lubricating, and shockabsorbing surfaces on the bones begin to wear away. This material, known as cartilage, is also found in pliable parts of the body such as the nose and ear. As it begins to wear down at the bone surface, the bone itself may become exposed inside the joint. This often leads to inflammation and resulting pain and stiffness. Persons with osteoarthritis may experience “gel phenomenon” where joints become stiff with rest but “limber up” quickly during physical activity. The treatment of osteoarthritis is often geared toward rehabilitation of the affected joint through muscle strengthening exercises. Inflammatory arthritis syndromes differ from osteoarthritis in that they are often due primarily to inflammation in the joint. These syndromes include conditions such as Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and gout. These conditions often produce a swollen, hot, red joint that is tender and very stiff. Inflammatory arthritis typically produces swelling of the lining of the joint, also known as the synovium. This may result from the action of the immune system. These conditions can be diagnosed through a combination of symptoms, physical exam findings, and testing of either blood or joint fluid. The initial treatment of inflammatory arthritis is geared toward reduction of joint inflammation through use of either nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications or steroids. However, for most of these conditions, specific medications geared at suppressing the inflammatory process can also be used. These medicines target the particular part of the immune system responsible for joint inflammation. Persons with chronic pain, stiffness, and/or swelling of the joints should seek medical attention for evaluation of arthritis.

Click on “View/Download Documents, forms, etc.” The Kidney Corner: “Phosphate” by Dr. Mark Saddler, MD Durango Nephrology Associates Phosphate is a dietary nutrient which is necessary for optimal function of many cell processes, energy production by cells, and for healthy bone formation. It is present in many different foods, and dietary deficiency of phosphate is rare. Foods that are particularly high in phosphate include dairy products, meat and beans. It is particularly high in cola drinks. There is some evidence that, even in people with normal kidney function, excessive intake of phosphate can cause problems with bones. However, it is kidney disease patients who are at particular risk from high phosphate levels. Under normal circumstances, phosphate in the diet is easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, helped by the presence of vitamin D. When the kidneys are healthy, excess phosphate is easily removed by the kidneys, so it’s unusual to see abnormally high phosphate levels in people with normal kidneys. However, when kidney function is impaired, phosphate overload occurs quite frequently. The excess phosphate causes a decrease in the calcium available to make new bone and sets a cascade of events in motion, affecting several hormones that worsen the bone problem. Worse still, the high phosphate levels lead to deposition of calcium in areas of the body where it can cause harm. For example, calcium deposition in blood vessels results in the vessel walls becoming thick and stiff, contributing to cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and decreased perfusion of vital organs. Calcium deposition in the skin and subcutaneous tissue can also cause a very painful and life-threatening condition called “calciphylaxis”. So it’s very important to avoid phosphate overload in patients with kidney disease. The most important way to try to do this is by reducing the amount of phosphate in the diet. As anyone who has tried to lose weight by dieting knows, it’s difficult to change dietary habits! But this change is crucial for kidney disease patients with high phosphate levels. To make matters more complicated, kidney disease patients often need to try to maintain their protein intake while limiting phosphate intake. Dairy products and cola drinks are usually the main issues to avoid; for others, peanuts can be a the culprit. A trained kidney dietician can help to individualize a diet plan for kidney disease patients with high phosphate levels. There are also medications which can help avoid absorption of phosphate from the diet. These medicines bind the dietary phosphate in the gut at the time; so they have to be taken with meals to be effective. Unfortunately, they can be difficult to take-for one thing, patients have to remember to have the medicine with them every time they eat! Some are not very potent and necessitate taking several tablets with each meal (some patients complain that by the time they have taken 5 or so phosphate binders before their meal, they’re not hungry any more!), and others may have stomach side effects. For patients on dialysis, an increase in dialysis time can help with phosphate control by removing more of the phosphate with each dialysis treatment. Cooking Fire Safety Recipe for Safer Cooking: Follow these tips to protect you and your family when in the kitchen. Whether stirring up a quick dinner or creating a masterpiece four-course meal, here’s a recipe for safer cooking you need to use daily. To Prevent a Cooking Fire in Your Kitchen • Keep an eye on your cooking and stay in the kitchen. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of cooking fires. • Wear short or close-fitting sleeves. Loose clothing can catch fire. • Watch children closely. When old enough, teach children to cook safely. • Clean cooking surfaces to prevent food and grease build-up. • Keep curtains, towels and pot holders away from hot surfaces and store solvents and flammable cleaners away from heat sources. Never keep gasoline in the house. • Turn pan handles inward to prevent food spills. To Put Out a Cooking Fire in Your Kitchen • Call the fire department immediately. In many cases, dialing 911 will give you Emergency Services. • Slide a pan lid over flames to smother a grease or oil fire, then turn off the heat and leave the lid in place until the pan cools. Never carry the pan outside. • Extinguish other food fires with baking soda. Never use water or flour on cooking fires. • Keep the oven door shut and turn off the heat to smother an oven or broiler fire. • Keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. Make sure you have the right type and training. • Keep a working smoke alarm in your home and test in monthly. Safety Tips for Using Turkey Fryers • Never place the fryer on a wooden deck or porch or in a garage or carport. • Leave at least 2 feet between the fryer and the propane tank. • Use the right amount of oil.
