This year's event falls along the same time as the school's recognition as a School of Distinction by the California's State Board of Education The board recognized the Spanish dual-immersion school and its staff for its improvement in academic performance in English and math plus the steady academic growth of its English learners San Luis Obispo County officials issued a boil water notice this week affecting the Five Cities area and Avila Beach Many of you reached out to our newsroom with questions about testing KSBY News spoke with the County Public Works Water Utilities Division manager who told us they test the water every week they conducted their routine sampling at the Lopez Water Distribution System on Monday and learned about the presence of bacteria in the water line a second test was conducted on Tuesday to determine if there was a false positive The county then notified the state division of drinking water which required the boil water notice on Wednesday “While it is a trigger for sending out the boil water notice it's an indicator it might not necessarily be dangerous itself but it's an indicator that something could be going on in the system,” said Nola Engelskirger Pop does what they call it in the industry That's what resulted in the boil water notice.” Engelskirger told me that county public works received a lot of calls on whether water filters were safe to use to remove bacteria She said commercial filters are not appropriate to use under the boil water notice “So we're using bottled water for our needs We're not doing any laundry until everything is back to normal.” Engelskirger says the state will be joining County Public Works on Friday for a full inspection of the pipeline to help identify the cause of the contamination For more information on how to prepare yourself and your family under a boil water notice, visit READYSLO.org. Some community members KSBY News caught up with in the Five Cities area voiced their opinions on the water boil notice that was issued on Wednesday “It was a little scary at first,” said Teri Booker One Pismo Beach resident told KSBY News the notice is an inconvenience but she has been able to boil water at her home We walked over to Pismo Brewing Company and spoke with a local resident who said she spent her Thursday morning searching for water so I had to go to multiple stores in order to find it,” said Teri Booker “And then I had to send my husband elsewhere to buy bleach KECY) - A proud day for San Luis High School as four standout Sidewinder athletes officially signed their letters of intent to continue their athletic and academic careers at the collegiate level After leading the Sidewinders on the soccer pitch captains Luis Garcia and Armando Favela both signed with community college programs He wrapped up his senior season with 13 goals and 6 assists earning 1st Team All-State honors and being named Region Player of the Year "Not what we wanted at the end of the season but personally being named player of the region and signing with Mohave He was recognized as the Desert Southwest Region Defensive Player of the Year after a standout senior campaign "These past four years have been a great journey Alizey Hernandez will take her talents to Nelson University in Phoenix after earning All-Region honors this season I've been wanting to do this," Hernandez said "[Phoenix] is definitely a lot bigger than here and I'm ready for that change." one of the most decorated baseball players in school history will continue his career at Cochise College The four-year varsity catcher has earned First Team All-Region recognition every season since his freshman year "It feels great and I'm ready to go and compete," Chavira said the practice program and the school's strong baseball history It's a great team and a great fit for me."

In 2021, kidney diseases were the ninth leading cause of death worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. People experiencing poverty or limited access to health care are disproportionately affected In the U.S., more than 1 in 7 adults has chronic kidney disease. That does not account for those with undiagnosed kidney disease Extended exposure to drought conditions coupled with inadequate water intake has been linked to kidney stones, acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease Dehydration, especially in outdoor workers who labor in hot or dry conditions is a known contributor to both acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease Acute kidney injury is characterized by a reduction in kidney function that is reversible Chronic kidney disease is kidney damage that is progressive and may not be reversible Studies in Florida and California have shown declining kidney health in agriculture workers as working conditions are becoming hotter and drier Outdoor workers in agriculture, forestry, mining, ranching and construction are susceptible to the effects of changing outdoor conditions coupled with physical labor. This combination exacerbates dehydration and leads to acute and chronic kidney disease our research team is involved in other projects aimed at addressing the health impacts of a changing climate One such initiative is the Mountain West Climate-Health Engagement Hub, which focuses on reducing exposure to decreased air quality. This includes the deployment of do-it-yourself air filters and development of low-cost, point-of-use water filters to mitigate exposure to the secondary effects of drought In the Centers for Health, Work & Environment multiple national and international studies are focused on agriculture workers These studies examine how heat, air quality and drought affect kidney, cardiovascular and mental health These broader studies aim to inform policy and interventions to safeguard the health of workers globally and particularly in regions most vulnerable to climate change The Research Brief is a short take on interesting academic work Katherine Ann James, Associate Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.
