Diwali is perhaps the most sacred and joyous festival of all in Hinduism. There are many reasons to celebrate it and the folklore that accompanies it. As a celebration of victory of good over evil, worship of Lakshmi, goddess of wealth, and an occasion for families to gather and enjoy feasts, buy new assets or enjoy fireworks, Diwali is an exciting occasion for young and old alike. It is also known as “Festival of Lights.”

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] How safe is it to take expired medication and what to do with unused medicines Dear Doctor, I have a cabinet full of expired medicines. Is it safe to take them?

Dear Reader, Most medicines are given an expiration date well in advance of the time they lose effectiveness. It is difficult to know, however, exactly when that medicine is no longer good. Taking expired medication may delay treatment and allow illness to progress. Although there are no adverse health effects from taking expired solid medications, there may be some risks in taking expired liquid and gel medications.

Dear Doctor, What should I do with my expired or unused medicines?

Dear Reader, There are many places where you can drop off your expired or unused medicines. Many pharmacies, hospitals, and doctor’s offices now have depositories. Flushing or pouring expired or unused medication down the drain is not recommended as it contaminates the drinking water. For your convenience, Washington Hospital and Washington Township Medical Foundation (WTMF) provides permanent drop-off sites at the following locations: • Washington Hospital Main Lobby, 2000 Mowry Avenue, Fremont • Washington West, Community Health Resource Library 2500 Mowry Avenue, Fremont • WTMF at Nakamura Clinic 33077 Alvarado Niles Road, Union City • WTMF at Newark 6236 Thornton Avenue, Newark • WTMF at Warm Spring 46690 Mohave Drive, Fremont Mary S.

Symptoms:

Symptoms of Ebola virus infection may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to the virus, but the average length of time before symptoms appear is 8 to 10 days. Symptoms of Ebola infection may include: • Fever greater than 101.5°F • Severe headache • Muscle pain • Weakness • Diarrhea • Vomiting • Abdominal (stomach) pain • Unexplained hemorrhage (bleeding or bruising)

Prevention:

There is no FDA-approved vaccine available, as yet, for preventing Ebola virus infection. If you travel to or are in an area affected by an Ebola outbreak, make sure to do the following: • Practice careful hygiene. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer and avoid contact with blood and body fluids. • Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids (such as clothes, bedding, needles and medical equipment).

Family Giving Tree (http://www.familygivingtree.org) is in urgent need of warehouse space from November 24, 2014 - January 9, 2015. The space will be used to process donations of gifts to the organization’s 24th annual Holiday Wish Drive which will serve approximately 70,000 low income Bay Area children this holiday season. “As the economy has improved, the access to available warehouse space has decreased,” says Family Giving Tree COO Tim Morris. “The delivery of Holiday Wish Drive gifts by host organizations begins on December 8, so the need to acquire space is quickly becoming urgent. We need a facility of at least 100,000 square feet with extensive open floor space, restrooms, lighting, electrical outlets and a loading dock.” According to Morris, additional “nice to haves” are a vehicle drive through area for drop-offs and pick-ups, offices that can be secured and a separate break room for staff, but the critical need is for the warehouse space itself. Family Giving Tree provides complete liability insurance, security, references and widespread media promotion of its donors. Any location within Silicon Valley is ideal for the Holiday Wish Drive warehouse. That area is defined by North San Jose through Palo Alto and North 880 through Milpitas, Fremont and Newark. “We urge any company with sufficient empty space to contact us as soon as possible,” says Morris. “They may contact me, Tim Morris, at [email protected] or (408) 946-3111, extension 200, or Pro- gram Manager Al Galan at [email protected] or (408) 946- 3111, extension 228.” Detailed information is also available at www.familygivingtree.org.

The Santa Clara County Agricultural Commissioner, in cooperation with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is beginning an extensive survey in response to the detection of Asian citrus psyllids (ACP) in the City of San Jose near Kelly Park. This is the first detection of ACP in Santa Clara County and the Bay Area. The ACP was detected in a residential neighborhood near Phelan Avenue and Roberts Avenue in San Jose. Treatment activities will be carried out on all citrus plants surrounding the sites where the insects were trapped. Residents in the treatment area will be notified in advance of any activity. Additionally, an increased number of traps have been deployed and a visual survey is ongoing on the surrounding properties in an attempt to determine if there is an infestation. “The Asian citrus psyllid is a dangerous pest of citrus,” said Joe Deviney, Santa Clara County Agricultural Commissioner. “We’re working to determine the full extent of this infestation so that we can protect our state’s vital citrus industry as well as our backyard citrus trees. We want to emphasize citrus is safe to eat and the disease is not harmful to human health. Working together we can prevent the harm this invasive species can cause.” Residents in the area who think they may have seen the pest are urged to call the Pest Hotline at 1-(800) 491-1899.

The girls come in and have fun and the mothers say that they really enjoyed being with their daughters.” Discovery Day has been such a huge success in past years that AAUW voted it one of the top 10 programs in California that best pursues AAUW’s goal of “advancing equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research.” “In this camp, I try to find people who can come up with an interesting hands-on project that teaches some as- pect of math and science,” Keller said. “I put a big empha- sis on hands-on activities because a lecture and a poster will not engage young girls.” The entire program normally attracts about 70 attendees; activities are assigned based on the order registration forms are received.

All 5th and 6th grade girls should take advantage of this limited opportunity to expand their knowledge and curiosity in math and science.

Tri-City Stargazer OCTOBER 22 – OCTOBER 28, 2014 BY VIVIAN CAROL

For All Signs: This week begins with the New Moon eclipse in the sign of Scorpio on by Scorpio. A New Moon suggests new starts and beginnings. Potentially there will be the 23rd at 5:10 p.m. EDT. Scorpio is a sign of shared resources. These include money, new plans on the globe to share resources among countries. Since this eclipse is at 0 de- time, and energy that we share with one or more people.

How fast can one bag 4,000 lbs of potatoes? Eight staff members from the Ohlone College Tri-Cities One-Stop Career Center discovered this for themselves in a unique team activity while offering support to the community at the Tri City Volunteers Food and Clothing Distribution center located in Fremont. It was a humbling reminder of the lives the Career Center team may touch, without knowing it, through their service to job seekers as they worked alongside the regular dedicated volunteers and staff of the Tri City Volunteers’ organization.

Rachel Monaco, Tri City Volunteer Coordinator, shared how critical the volunteer help really is. Without the necessary hands to prepare bags for distribution, perishable food can potentially succumb overnight. To be sure, the voluntary effort counts for the community. In fact those 4,000 pounds of potatoes represent food for 450 families. Staring at two very daunting pallets of potatoes, the gloved-group quickly developed efficient assembly-line teamwork, sprinkled with a spirit of friendly competition. Within four hours, they were tired and proud, standing on now empty pallets. Often teambuilding means luxurious meals and entertainment as a reward, so the chance to reflect objectively on the community while enjoying the camaraderie of coworkers in a different environment was a special opportunity for the Ohlone College Tri-Cities One Stop Ca- reer Center staff. Come and meet our staff at the Ohlone College Tri-Cities One Stop Career Center Annual Fall Job Fair on Friday October 24, Ohlone College, Newark campus. Over 40 employers are expected and it is free to the public. Visit www.tricitiesonestop.com for details and the employer list.

Moments in the life of a School Resource Officer

BY JOHNNA M. LAIRD

The encounter resembled a moment from a movie. A police officer working downtown Hayward stopped a truant teen during school hours. The strapping six-foot one teen is asked why he isn’t in school and then for his parents’ phone number. Instead of cooperating, the boy mouthed off, with “I’ll give you the number. 510-##.” A seasoned officer, Patrolman Craig Fovel kept calm. He coun- seled the boy without incident into his car and transported him back to Tennyson High School. As he dropped the boy off into the care of a Hayward School Resource Officer (SRO), the student mouthed off again: “I don’t like her. She’s so mean.

They appreciate your help and advice. Not every time, but there are a lot of good outcomes. “So many young people have potential. Their talent is being wasted on the streets,” she says. “I feel very blessed that I have been involved in giving Devohn a chance. But in the end, it really wasn’t what I did or Craig did.

Players practice every day for two weeks, then participate in weekly games. The Fovels reasoned that baseball seemed a good way for Devohn to gain community service hours, get paid a little, and stay off the streets during the summer. “He’s a teen at risk. There’s the pressure of drugs and violence around him,” Cassondra says. They consulted him and he agreed to participate, although somewhat reluctantly. “I wasn’t too sure about it at first, but it was cool to work with the kids,” says Devohn. “It was fun.” What the Fovels didn’t antici- pate was the degree to which De- vohn would flourish.
