When we consider the health care experts who treat and care for people in the hospital, we usually think of doctors, nurses, technicians and therapists. Another essential mem- ber of the health care team who sometimes goes unrecog- nized is the social worker. “Our role is important because we are often able to re- late to patients and their families in ways that are helpful for doctors and nurses,” explained Sophia Singh, MSW, SCSW, a social work case manager and crisis coordinator at Washington Hospital. Singh has been a social worker for seven years. “We connect with people to help them at times when they are most vulnerable,” she added. “Social work is a beautiful, yet challenging, profession—and very rewarding.” The National Association of Social Workers, the largest membership organization of professional social workers in the world, states: “Social workers are highly trained and ex- perienced professionals. Only those who have earned social work degrees at the bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral levels— and completed a minimum number of hours in supervised fieldwork—are professional social workers.”

At Washington Hospital, social workers are available to patients and their families in every patient care unit, including the Emergency Department. They offer help, counseling and support to a diversity of people with wide ranging needs, and are able to connect them to community resources they may not know about.

In honor of the 30th annual California Coastal Cleanup Day, the City of Fremont will be hosting cleanup events at seven different locations on Saturday, Sept. 21 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. What is Coastal Cleanup Day? Every year, on the third Saturday in September, people join together at sites across California to take part in the State's largest volunteer event, California Coastal Cleanup Day.

Families, friends, coworkers, scout troops, school groups, service clubs, and individuals come together to celebrate and share their appreciation of California's fabulous coast and waterways. The event is part of the International Coastal Cleanup, organized by the Ocean Conser- vancy, which is the largest volunteer event on the planet. If you are interested in participating, please pre-register at www.Fremont.gov/CoastalCleanupDay to guarantee a spot.

The 2013 Founding Sponsor, Fremont Bank, developed the tournament 29 years ago to raise funds for Ohlone Renegades Athletic teams, and has provided support for the tournament and to Ohlone College for many years. This year’s 29th Annual Ohlone College Golf Tournament, presented by FORM (Fremont Orthopaedic & Rehabilitative Medicine), is held on both the hill and valley courses of the Castlewood Country Club in Pleasanton on Monday, September 23, 2013. “This is our signature athletic event of the year,” said Chris Warden, Dean of Kinesiology, Athletics, and Newark Campus. “Our teams and coaches are gearing up for a great event. It’s an opportunity to thank the community for their strong support of our programs.” Pro- ceeds benefit the Ohlone College student athletic programs. The tournament is packed with entertaining activities and prizes including longest drive, “closest to the pin”, most accurate drive, and multiple Hole-in-One contests featuring prizes such as a $10,000 CD from Fremont Bank. In addition to a tasty lunch provided on the course, hospitality tents will keep players re- freshed throughout the day. The tournament is followed by the College’s Athlete of the Year awards at a special reception with an athletic basket raffle and silent auction opportunities. To register or for more information, please visit: www.ohlonecollegegolf.org. The tournament sold out last year and registration is now underway.

later his exam results were in and a procedure date was scheduled— August 13. The four days leading up to the procedure were uncomfortable. Fuss was given four injections of fil- grastim which increases the number of blood-form- ing cells in the bloodstream. “For those few days, it’s painful in the bones. It’s manageable, but it’s defi- nitely painful in your whole body,” Fuss shared. “It’s interesting because on different days I’ll feel pain in different parts of my body.” Once the injections were completed, it was time for Fuss to, again, travel. His PBSC donation procedure took place at Inova, a sur- gery center just outside of Washington D.C. “It was a four hour procedure,” Fuss de- scribed. “It’s unbelievable. You go in, lay down on the bed, a needle is put in one arm and another in the other arm.” The most painful part about the procedure was keeping his arms straight for four hours; other then that, the donation was pain-free. “I left the hospital bed after I finished the procedure and within 25 minutes, I was out,” Fuss said. Once the donation process is over, the stem cell bag is sent immediately to the recipient. Fuss has to wait about five months to hear if the patient’s body accepted his cells. After a year, Fuss and the recipient have an option to meet each other. “I’m really ex- cited,” Fuss said about the potential meeting. “It’s like a part of me, sort of.

Gridiron action begins for 2013 Fremont Football

SUBMITTED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW

Fremont Football is known as a great starting point for serious athletes and many who just want to have fun. For some, this action is a chance to be mentored by dedicated coaches prior to moving on to high school, collegiate and even professional careers. As the first day of full league play started on Saturday September 9, the action was fast as teams worked hard during the off season to understand offense and defense. All three divisions are up for grabs this year; the outcome is much too early to predict but two teams to watch in the National Division are the Bills and Steelers, each with a new passing attack this year. In the American Division, the Vikings and Patriots are starting strong. The Vikings beat the Bears 30-6, controlling the line with impressive defense. Keeping pace, the Patriots won big over the Jets 28-6. This promises to be another good year of football in the Fremont Football League. Come out and watch local football action.
