CDC study projects large increase in rates of diabetes-related eye diseases.
As reported by MedPage Today Monday, HealthDay (12/9, Preidt) reported that, according to a study published in the Dec. issue of the Archives of Ophthalmology, "The number of Americans with diabetic retinopathy is expected to increase from 5.5 million to 16 million by the year 2050." Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "analyzed data from the 2004 National Health Interview Survey and the U.S. Census Bureau to predict the number of Americans with diabetes who will have diabetic retinopathy, vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts in 2050, when the country's population is expected to be 402 million." The investigators also predicted that vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy cases "will increase from 1.2 million to 3.4 million," and that "cataract cases among whites and blacks age 40 or older with diabetes will increase 235 percent." In addition, "glaucoma cases among Hispanics age 65 and older with diabetes will increase 12-fold."

Play it by Ear Bunco Tournament
Last night was ELC's (Ellensburg Lions Club) first ever Play it by Ear Bunco Tournament. I don't have a final total yet, but between tournament tickets, donations, and the raffle we brought in over $700! We had eight full tables rolling away, with some hot hands rolling lots of Buncos. Thanks to all ELC members for helping to make this a very successful event.
F-1 Zone Chairman David Heath hopes luck is with him tonight. On the other team, Ellensburg Lion Bob Titus is hoping not :)
It's Terrace Heights vs. Ellensburg!
Two players modeling the very hip Bunco hat.
The tournament winning players: Jennifer Johnson (Most Losses), Naches Lion Paul Kauzlarich (Most Wins), Audrey Wedin (Last Bunco), and Linda Brennan (Most Buncos). All four chose to donate their prize money to the brand new Ellensburg Lions Club Hearing Project Fund.
