ittle do many of us know that our beloved East Bay L contains one of the most haunted locations in the country. At the end of the island that is Alameda, the U.S.S. Hornet floats meditatively in her dock. Only the occasional drum beat of the tide against her hull, the whines and complaints of seagulls, or the passing of a ferry disturbs what is now a public museum housed within an aircraft carrier.

This is an ongoing column in which community physicians answer your health-related questions. Questions should be emailed to Ask the Doctor at: [email protected] Dear Doctor, Are there specific conditions that can be helped by improved diet?

Dear Reader, The answer is a resounding, YES! For example: • Consuming adequate amounts of probiotics (e.g., yogurt, cultured milk, sauerkraut, kimchi) can help support the intestinal microbial environments of most adults. • A diet high in vegetable intake and low in sugar can potentially help reverse squamous cell cancer of the lung. • Gout can be prevented by the regular intake of about 20 tart cherries per day. • Cholesterol’s HDL and LDL levels can be dramatically improved by converting one’s diet entirely to a plant-based diet; or a diet that emphasizes minimally processed foods from plants with modest amounts of fish, lean meat, low-fat dairy and red meat (only sparingly). Eating too much white rice though, can elevate LDL and negate the good effects of a plant-based diet. Stephen Zonner, DO

Chabot College football Football SUBMITTED BY MATT SCHWAB

Chabot College freshman defensive lineman Aaron Andrews, a Granada High-Livermore graduate, had three sacks and 3.5 tackles for a loss in the Gladiators’ defeat to host Modesto on October 30 in a North- Valley Conference showdown. Andrews moved into the state lead in sacks with 13 and in tackles for a loss with 19.5. He was a bright spot on a tough night for the Gladiators (3-5, 2-1) in a lopsided 52-7 loss. The Pirates, who fell to Chabot in overtime the previous two years, scored 31 points off Chabot turnovers this time. Chabot saw its three-game winning streak snapped, while Modesto won its fourth in a row. Chabot’s Nohea Keahi, a sophomore linebacker, leads the Gladiators in total tackles with 75, averaging 9.4 a game (No. 12 in the state).

With the cold weather season approach- ing many people in the Fremont area will likely need a place that offers protection from the elements. The Compassion Network Cityserve, is planning to open an emergency warming center soon after Nov. 17. The center, lo- cated at the Fremont Senior Center, will be open during the winter months every time it rains or the temperature drops below 40 degrees. The group is seeking volunteers to help set up the center and operate it during in- clement weather. Volunteers will be asked to help keep the center clean, make or serve food and gather supplies needed for the cen- ter. Food donations also are needed. People who would like to volunteer or learn more about the program should plan to attend a mandatory meeting on Monday, Nov. 14 at the Fremont Senior Center.
