“Charlie Chaplin Days” 2015 edition will be a special weekend in the historic district of Niles. On June 6th and 7th, we celebrate Mr. Chaplin who lived and worked here exactly a century ago, creating five films that were shot on location in our little hamlet. Anyone who has read about Charles Spencer Chaplin knows he came from poverty. His parents worked in music halls patch- ing together an existence. His father was an alcoholic, his mother mentally unstable. But when things were okay, they were entertainers on the stage, singing. continued on page 44

Local physician worked with Los Gatos-based company to develop new procedure

p to 18 million Americans have trouble with obstructive sleep Uapnea (OSA), according to estimates from the American Association for Respiratory Care. OSA is a potentially serious, chronic condition that occurs when a person’s throat muscles relax during sleep. As a result, the airway closes partially or completely and breathing stops and starts repeatedly—up to 100 times a night. With OSA, the brain and the rest of the body may not get enough oxygen. A person may also snore loudly and feel tired and sleepy the next day, even after they’ve had a full night’s sleep. Statistics show that up to 7 percent of men and up to 5 percent of women in the U.S. experience daytime sleepiness associated with OSA. If left untreated, OSA can lead to serious health problems, such as high blood pressure, stroke, heart failure, diabetes and depression. Experts also believe it affects a person’s ability to carry out everyday activities and contributes to an increased risk for car crashes and accidents at work, as well as poor performance at school. The most common non-invasive treatment for moderate to severe OSA is con- tinuous positive airway pressure or CPAP. But, CPAP only works if the patient uses the device regularly while sleeping. Studies have shown up to 40 percent of CPAP The FDA has approved a new minimally invasive procedure to treat obstructive sleep apnea.

Dear Doctor, What would you recommend as a pick-me-up at the end of the day? I have stopped drinking coffee and am trying to stay away from sweets, but I have such low energy in the late afternoon. Please help!

Dear Reader, It can be difficult making it to the end of the day espe- cially when you have been used to chemical aids like caf- feine. Some alternatives include: taking a brisk 15 minute walk, listening to energizing music, squeezing a lemon or an orange (aromatherapy has shown to boost our mind), looking at a cute picture, or chewing gum. Sneaking in a 10 minute midday nap will also help curb your afternoon blahs.

Dear Doctor, I notice that when I drink my coffee with sugar I get an extra kick. My wife told me I am experiencing a sugar high, but I thought that was something only kids could get. Is there really such a thing?

Dear Reader, Science has shown that there is no direct effect of sugar on the behavior of children in the form of a sugar high. However, it has been shown that too much sugar during breakfast can lead to a lower attention span and higher levels of adrenaline in some people. 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.

Washington Hospital To Offer Free PVD Screenings on June 6

“When someone has PVD, the first line of treatment is to make lifestyle changes to lower the person’s risk factors,” says Dr. Jain. “Exer- cise is key, even though patients with PVD may not be inclined to exercise because of pain in their legs. Other lifestyle changes might include stopping smoking, controlling your blood pressure, improving your diet and managing blood sugar levels if you have diabetes. Vari- ous medications to control blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes also may be useful.” If lifestyle changes and medications do not control a patient’s PVD, other treatments may be appropriate. For patients with pronounced PVD, treatment might include angioplasty, a non-surgical procedure in which a “balloon” is inserted to open up blocked arteries. Wire mesh tubes called stents also can be inserted non-surgically to keep arteries open. If the condition is more severe and the person has dis- abling pain, surgery might be considered to open up blocked arteries or to replace the blocked portion of an artery. “The bottom line is that a simple cramp in your leg when you are walking may be related to other conditions that need to be diagnosed and treated,” says Dr. Mehigan. “Early treatment of PVD could not only help ease the pain in your legs, but it also may save your life. We want to help you and your primary care physician to understand and improve your overall health condition.” If you are interested in the free sonogram leg screenings for PVD on June 6, you must sign up in advance by calling (800) 963-7070.

SUBMITTED BY JOE LONSDALE

There were two elementary school chess team championships held in the United States in May 2015. The weekend of May 9-10, the USCF (United States Chess Federation) held its annual Elementary school chess championship at the Grand Old Opry Hotel in Nashville, TN. This is the “official” chess championship and for the second time in three years (also 2013) and the third time in seven years (also 2009) MSJE (Mission San Jose Elementary of Fremont) won the National Elementary School Chess Championship. There was also a Yes2Chess national elementary school chess championship held in May. Yes2Chess is a not for profit organization based in the UK (United Kingdom) that is dedicated to increasing the use of chess in schools. It is not as prestigious as the USCF championship, but instead of playing for a trophy the players play for an all-expenses paid trip to London to be the US representative and compete with teams from seven other countries for the international championship. The four teams in the Yes2chess finals were Nest A with an average rating of 1537, Nest B, 1655, and IS 318 with an average rating of 1758. Both Nest teams and IS 318 were from New York City. The fourth team was MSJE with an average rating of 1771. Nest and IS 318 have both won USCF National titles. They are part of the very strong New York City scholastic chess program. The New York teams played at the famous Marshall Chess club in Manhattan. MSJE played in Don Pans’ (David’s dad) home. MSJE drew the first round with IS 318. Meanwhile Nest B beats Nest A 4-1. MSJE was paired with Nest A in round two and beat Nest A 3 1/2 to 1/2. The result of the round two Nest B versus IS 318 match was a 4-1 win by Nest B! This is a shocker. MSJE thought IS 318 was their major competition, but now Nest B had two wins and MSJE had a win and a draw. Also they have scored 8 points against the two teams that we scored six points. It all came down to the last match Nest B versus MSJE. If Nest B wins or draws the match, they go to London. If MSJE beats Nest B, we would go to London. Round three gets off to a good start. MSJE is looking very good on board one, where David Pan had a strong position. Also, both Annapoorni on board 4 and Leo on board 5 are ahead material and seemed certain to win. Rishith seems to be in a tough fight in board two. David wins giving MSJE the first points. Leo moved his rook to take a knight and announced checkmate on board five when the rook stopped short of the knight and his opponent got a simple checkmate. Leo was devastated the position was very simple and the only move was checkmate. The rules on mouse errors are very clear. The move and the loss stand. Shortly after this happened, Annapoorni won on board four. Then on board two the opponent of Rishith had a mouse error and goes from a very strong position to a lost position. Rishith pushed home the win and MSJE has a victory and a trip to London. Kevin was way ahead on board two. MSJE tries to keep the celebrating to a minimum until Kevin checkmates his opponent. Kevin wins and we won the last match 4-1.The MSJE Chess team is going to London!

SUBMITTED BY BRIAN KILLGORE

A trio of 5th-graders at Forest Park Elementary School in Fremont decided to utilize their school’s Open House on May 19 to lend a hand to victims of last month’s earthquake in Nepal. Spearheaded by students, Amani Shah, Farha Shaik, and Sara Pham, Forest Park organized a “kindness” fundraiser, placing collection jars in each classroom during the Open House to encourage people to donate to the cause. In just the one hour of the Open House, Forest Park students, staff, and parents contributed $1,825 to UNICEF. One 1st-grader was proudly seen showing his teacher the change he had taken from his own piggy bank to be part of the kindness drive.

The Hayward Area Recreation and Park District’s Douglas Morrisson Theatre in Hayward is proud to announce it largest ever donation, a gift just under $960,000, from The Leggo Family Trust. Kathleen Leggo, who died April 2, 2002, served as the Dou- glas Morrisson Theatre’s property master for 18 years. Her portion of the Family Trust was allocated to the Hay- ward Area Recreation and Park Dis- trict for the benefit of the Douglas Morrisson Theatre. Nancy McCullough Engle, who served as the Artistic Director of DMT from its beginnings until her retirement in 2010, said of Kathi Leggo, “Kathi Leggo graced our theatre on stage and off for twenty years. As Property Master, she bestowed her creativity, style, craftsmanship, irrepress- ible good humor and panache on over 100 productions.” “The Hayward-Castro Valley area is well-positioned to support a regional theatre, and gifts like these that will make it possible for the Douglas Mor- risson Theatre to continue its growth in that direction,” said Managing Director Terry Sullivan. The Douglas Morrisson Theatre is planning a special event acknowledging Kathi Leggo’s bequest in the coming months.

Saturn will remain in the last degrees of Scorpio until it moves forward into a two-year transit through Sagittarius. This planet is the taskmaster, the judge or the teacher. He was in Scorpio between Oc- tober 2012 and December 2014. While in the sign of Scorpio, the world was made conscious of debt in whatever form that is. This is not only money. Sometimes our debt is measured in time or energy. With this summer’s last transit into Scorpio, the consequences of dangling debt materialized in our laps. It is time to handle whatever we owe.

“I’m honored to join the Ko- rean Consul General to present this prestigious award to 48 Korean War veterans and their families in the East Bay,” said Swalwell. “This award represents the appreciation of two grateful nations for their service and sacrifice.” The Ambassador for Peace Medal began as a special memento for Korean War veterans who returned to South Korea through the “Revisit Program.” It has since expanded to veterans who cannot travel to South Korea. To be eligible for the award, the veteran must have served in country during the Korean War from Left to right: Korean Consul General Han Dong-man, U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell (CA-15), June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953.

Titans bow out of postseason play SUBMITTED AND PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW

A great season came to an end on May 26th as the John F. Kennedy Titans were eliminated from North Coast Section play by the Cowboys of Livermore. The vaunted Titan offense never showed up although they did put together six hits. Although the Titans put the first run on the scoreboard in the third inning, the Cowboys charged back and scored nine runs in the fifth to take control, adding an additional four in succeeding innings.

EARTHTALK® FROM THE EDITORS OF E - THE ENVIRONMENTAL MAGAZINE Missing Using DNA to conserve wildlife

Dear EarthTalk: How are scientists using DNA to conserve wildlife? — Jake Summerlin, Newark, NJ

Traditionally, conservation biologists have relied on field observation and sample and statistical analysis to help them understand the dynamics behind species loss, but today genetics is taking on an increasingly important role in helping quantify the biodiversity around us and even save some threatened species. According to researchers at King Saud University who reviewed various DNA analysis technologies used in wildlife conservation for the Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences, the newly emerging discipline of conservation genetics has proven instrumental in creating better management plans for so-called “genetically deteriorated” wildlife populations. “Accurate classification of these threatened species allows understanding of the species biology and identification of distinct populations that should be managed with utmost care.” They add that DNA analysis can be instrumental in preventing illegal hunting and poaching and “for more effective implementation of the laws for protection of the endangered species.” Conservation genetics is particularly useful for clarifying whether a particular wildlife population needs special protection as a genetically distinct sub-species. According to Susan Haig of the U.S. Forest Elbert Doniel Kirby Jr. Service, conservationists are using DNA analysis to determine kinship lineage in selecting which individuals to reintroduce to a population for recovery. “DNA sequencing procedures ... allow for identifi- Age 23 cation of parentage, more distant relatives, founders to new populations, unidentified individuals, population structure, effective population size, population-specific markers, etc.” reports Haig, adding Last Seen: May 23, 2015 that the result is more sophisticated information crucial to setting species recovery priorities. One way genetics is being used is to help endangered African cheetahs. “The 10,000 that are left Description: share 99 percent of their DNA between individuals,” reports biologist and blogger Christina Smyth, adding that the low genetic diversity makes the cheetah population highly susceptible to disease and ex- 5’ 10” tinction. “By using genetic analysis to look at how closely related individual cheetahs are, cheetah breeding projects are able to breed selectively as an attempt to reintroduce genetic variation back into the population.” 165lbs Another favorite example of Smyth’s is how geneticists are helping estimate past population sizes of whales to help manage and conserve current populations. “They are using current levels of genetic di- Brown Hair versity along with known mutation rates to look at what the whale population was like before whaling.

Amble through the Adobe Gallery to experience story, spirit, and sensations via imagery, floating silk, clay and stone sculp- tures, alternative photographic prints, evocative paintings and assemblages in the “Inclinations” exhibit. Opening May 28, the exhibit features six accomplished Bay Area artists: Doyle Wegner (San Leandro), Lynne Prather (Oakland), Alani Taira (Hayward), John Ascher (Hayward), Dorothy Gantenbein (Fremont), and Katie Parquet (Mill Val- ley). The 58 pieces on display include painting, drawing, floating silk sculpture, (almost) life-size clay torsos, mixed media, recycled materials, photographic images (printed on hand-coated watercolor paper, photo transfer on vintage Japanese paper), and stone sculpture. “People have said my art is dreamlike or mysterious.
