any teens dread the question, M“What are you doing after high school?” as it is indeed a scary, unknown time for young graduates. The options seem endless, and it can be difficult figur- ing out the right path. A Fremont-based nonprofit is on a mission to help teenagers figure out the next big steps – on teens’ own terms. In 2007, Kathy Laidlaw, a seasoned professional with a background in marketing, customer service, and hospitality, was asked to speak to a “Family Living” class about giving excellent customer service. Instead of exclusively customer service techniques, students wanted to hear about landing an interview or how to dress and prepare for an interview – even how to get their girlfriend’s mom to like them. The need for such resources and information inspired Laidlaw, and she and the “Family Living” teacher, Ruth Bauer (Fremont Unified School District’s Health Department Chair), began collaborating on creating presentations that help teens navigate and prepare for the next steps after high school, continued on page 7

This is an ongoing column in which Dr. Mary Maish answers your health-related questions. Questions for Dr. Maish should be emailed to Ask the Doctor at: [email protected] Summertime Fungal Infections

Dear Doctor, I have a big toenail that looks as though it is about to fall off. Do you think I have an infection?

Dear Reader, Summertime toenail infections are common. These are usually due to a fungus infection from a less then sterile nail salon, so if you are relying on salon sterility you are bound to get an infection eventually. The best way to avoid this is to invest in your own set of pedicure tools and sterilize them yourself at home in boiling water for 90 seconds after each pedicure. In the meantime, you can remove your toenail and apply a topical over the counter fungal cream and a healthy new nail should be on its way.

Dear Doctor, I have tried every over the counter product for athlete’s foot and nothings seems to work. How do I get rid of it?

Dear Reader, Athlete’s foot is another common summertime foot dis- ease usually caused by contact with fungus in a swimming pool area or locker room. The best way to treat athlete’s foot is to avoid getting it! Wear footwear at all times in any pub- lic pool or shower. You should wash your footwear each week with a little bleach and remember to wash your feet with soap and water after visits to public pools or showers. If you do contract athlete’s foot, most over the counter medicines applied regularly will take care of it though it may take several weeks (or months) to fully eradicate. Adding foot powder to your shoes will also help. If this fails, then a trip to your doctor for oral medicines is the next step.

Mary S. Maish, M.D. Dr. Maish is a board certified thoracic and general surgeon. She holds a Master’s degree from Harvard University and completed her thoracic surgery training at Baylor/MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. Dr. Maish currently serves as the Chief of Thoracic and Foregut Surgery at Washington Township Medical Foundation and is on the Medical Staff at Washington Hospital.

Tri-City Stargazer AUGUST 5 - AUGUST 11, 2015 BY VIVIAN CAROL

For All Signs: Jupiter, planet of expansion, remains squared off with Saturn, the planet of contraction. I wrote about this combination last week. It is important in the larger scheme of things, so I am pointing out this challenging aspect again. It really won’t be over until after May of 2016. Historically, Jupiter/Saturn squares point at recessionary trends. Saturn carries greater weight, so its symbolism of tightness, coldness, and maintaining structure will almost always win in the world and in our psyches. Jupiter is optimistic and willing to take risks, but Saturn is fearful of change or the powers that be. If you are contemplating a risky venture, you will probably fare better after this cold season is over. If you must proceed, then do so with a cautious eye and cover your bets as carefully as possible.
