ay in and day out, 24 hours a day, Washington Hospital’s nurses are Dthe caregivers patients see most frequently and the ones providing continuing care to help patients recover and heal. Recognizing this, on May 9 Washing- ton Hospital is celebrating National Nurses Week with special events for the hospital’s more than 750 nurses. Washing- ton Hospital CEO Nancy Farber and As- sociate Administrator and Chief Nursing Officer Stephanie Williams, along with other hospital officials, will host a series of teas to honor the nurses during their shifts. “Washington Hospital is very proud of its nurses and what they accomplish in patient care and patient safety,” Williams said. The achievements of nurses who have received advanced degrees or certifications during the past year will be highlighted with posters placed on their nursing floors. The posters will show a photograph of the nurse and list the nurse’s achievements during the past year. Williams added that most Washington Hospital nurses have bachelor degrees in From left to right are Washington Hospital nurses representing numerous Hospital departments: Trina Odani, BSN, RN; Lisa Travis, BSN, RN-C; Cheryl Bernal, RN- nursing and have specialized certifications in BC, MSN; Maria Lourdes Limqueco, RN; Janet Aileen Peralta, BSN, RN; Marie David, BSN, RN; Dexter Hermosura, BSN, RN-BC; Jaspal K.

Questions for Dr. Maish should be emailed to Ask the Doctor at: [email protected] Surgery for Snoring and Post-Nasal Drip Allergies Dear Doctor, My husband snores terribly. He has tried over-the- counter fixes that don’t seem to help. He wants surgery done to remove tissue from the back of his throat but I am nervous about it. What would you recommend?

Dear Reader, Most snoring is due to Obstructive Sleep Apnea or OSA. This can be (but is not always) a result of extra tissue in the back of the throat that sags over time. Before proceeding with surgery, I suggest that your husband see a sleep specialist in order to be properly evaluated. The specialist will be able to determine the cause of the OSA and recommend the best treatment.

Dear Doctor, I have a lot of post-nasal drip. It is very bothersome and constantly need to clear my throat. I have seen many doctors who just recommend Claritin and other medications that don’t seem to work. I need help!

Dear Reader, Post-nasal drip is a troubling symptom and can be a result of many different things, which is why it is often not diagnosed clearly. There are a few recommendations I can suggest: First, make sure you are not taking any medications that could be causing your post-nasal drip. Second, ensure your home and work environments are humidified with cool moist air. Third, avoid nasal sprays and other medications that go directly into the nose as these can often worsen symptoms. Fourth, get checked to be sure you don’t have GERD, or reflux disease. Lastly, see an allergist to have a thorough allergy testing done. Most post-nasal drips result from allergies in the environment as well as household products and detergents.

Niles Discovery Church will celebrate the completion of its new home at the corner of Niles Blvd. and Nursery Ave. with a community open house, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., and a service of dedication at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 17. The public is invited for refreshments, crafts and balloons for children, live music including the Montecito Brass Band, and building tours. The Rev. Doctor LaTaunya M. Bynum, Regional Minister of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Northern California-Nevada, will be guest preacher at the dedication service, which is also open to the public.

In addition to flowers and allergies, there’s something else that happens every spring in Fremont and the Bay Areakittens! That sounds like a great thing, but there are more kittens than pet rescues and shelters can easily manage. Kittens cannot be adopted until they are big and old enough (2 pounds and 8 weeks) to be spayed or neutered.

There are two ways people can help: 1.) Foster kittens through your local shelter or rescue Phase 1 (up to 1 pound & 4 weeks old) — bottle feeding every three hours care; the only way to save those kittens is to get them into foster care as soon as they arrive.

California Nursery Historic Park cleanup

SUBMITTED BY JACOB LEE

On Sunday, April 26, the World Mission Society, Church of God in San Francisco carried out their Worldwide Environmental Cleanup Campaign at Fremont’s California Nursery Historic Park. Approxi- mately 120 members gathered to clean and garden the park. All volunteers joyfully cut branches, trimmed trees and planted to beautify the park. Every year, over 2,500 churches around the world participate in the Environmental Cleanup Cam- paign to help communities in various ways. As God has taught us, “It is more blessed to give love than to receive.” All the church members would like to say to the Fremont Community, “We love you!” Page 20 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE May 5, 2015

Tri-City Stargazer MAY 6 – MAY 12, 2014 BY VIVIAN CAROL For All Signs: It is common that I write a particular phrase: your planetary ruler. Astrologers have used this expression forever related to a condition of sun signs. Each sign has a planet in the solar system that represents it. In today’s digital world, the planet is analogous to an avatar. The planet’s travel symbolizes the conditions through which an Aries or a Libra is traveling this week, month or day. It so happens that some planets, such as Mercury or Venus, act as avatars for more than one sign. This week Venus, the permanent planetary ruler (avatar) of both Taurus and Libra, is moving into the sign of Cancer. So for the next 4 1/2 weeks Venus will also act as a temporary avatar for Cancerians. As the planets move through any given sign, they make easy or challenging aspects to other traveling planets in the zodiac. Thus conditions are smooth or rocky for a time. Think of it like a monopoly board. Once the game is rolling, certain properties that are owned by other players will become costly as the avatar (your board piece) intersects them. Other properties offer free passage or an opportunity to purchase.

SUBMITTED BY LIFE ELDERCARE

Do you remember 1975? A gallon of gas cost 44 cents, a brand new car was under $5,000, the Vietnam War ended, and Sony introduced Betamax (Beta-what?). And, LIFE ElderCare was founded. A feisty lady named Virginia worried back then about her frail, older neighbors. They didn’t eat well, and it was wrecking their health and ability to age in their familiar homes. She arranged to get prepared meals from Washington High School, and with some friends, delivered the foil-wrapped plates to elders in need. Forty years later, we’re pretty much doing the same thing; Tri-City neighbors taking care of each other. We started with just Meals on Wheels, but all of our programs - Friendly Visitors, VIP Rides, and Fall Prevention - were created due to other needs we saw when those meals were delivered every day. This year we are helping almost 1,000 seniors age and thrive in their own homes. The need for our community-based services is, of course, growing along with our aging nation, so join us. If you haven’t yet volunteered or donated, do it! It’s great work. All of us can be neighbors helping vulnerable neighbors. Thanks to each of you!
