Vaccines Help to Protect Against Serious and Sometimes Fatal Diseases

With the start of school just around the corner, it’s time to think about your child’s immunizations. There are a number of vaccinations that need to be up to date before children can enter school in the fall. “Parents should review their child’s yellow vaccine card with their pediatrician to determine if their child needs any additional vaccinations before they start school,” said Dr. Swetha Kowsik, a Fremont pediatri- cian who is a member of the Washington Hospital medical staff. “Now that many health care providers have transitioned to electronic medical records, in- cluding the Washington Township Medical Founda- tion, even if a parent has misplaced the card, the records are often retrievable.” Vaccines offer safe and effective protection against diseases like diphtheria, smallpox, polio, measles, and influenza (flu). They work with the body to protect it from diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. They do so by helping the body build up antibodies that stay in the bloodstream, ready to fight the germs if you come in contact with them.

Swetha Kowsik, M.D., a pediatrician with Washington Township Medical Foundation, urges parents to stay current with their chil- dren's vaccinations. Vaccines are scientifically proven to prevent dis- eases that have caused so much harm and pain to children throughout the years. If you don’t have a regular pediatrician, you can find out where to get your child vaccinated by calling Wash- ington Hospital’s Health Connection hotline at (800) 963-7070.

Fremont Continues to Rethink City Government with Launch of New Digital Property

Website and Blog Reflect Fremont’s Business Vision

The City has identified street striping improvements that should help reduce delays and improve safety on Scott Creek Road and Kato Road during peak commute hours. This change is in response to the current and upcoming construction projects in the south end of Fremont related to the BART extension to Santa Clara County. For a little more than a year, the intersection at Warm Springs Boulevard was striped with one westbound through lane from Scott Creek Road to Kato Road and two left turn lanes from Scott Creek Road to southbound Warm Springs Road. The striping has now been modified to change the outside left turn lane into a second through lane which will double the amount of traffic that can get through the intersection onto Kato Road during each signal cycle. It is expected that the change will reduce the queue of cars in the outside lane of Scott Creek Road in the morning. In case cars continue to back up on Scott Creek Road or Kato Road during Be a part of a city on the move. Last week, the City launched a new web- this ongoing construction, the City will also be striping “KEEP CLEAR” areas on westbound site dedicated to Fremont’s business stakeholders.

Unfortunately, I was now perfectly positioned to become the next lightning strike fatality. My hike had started routinely enough two days earlier when I had picked up my wilderness permit at the ranger station. “Be sure to keep your food in a bear resistant canister at all times,” the ranger reminded me. “Bury your poop at least six inches under- ground and carry out your used toilet paper,” he continued. In other words, standard wilderness etiquette any con- scientious backpacker follows. For most of that day, the trail was hot, dry, and dusty. Water sources that should have been reliable were nothing but dry creek beds, forcing me to ration the water I had begun the day with. By late after- noon, my mouth had grown parched, my water bottle now empty.

minerals. Zucchini also contains an assortment of nutrients including vitamins A, C, and K, potassium, magnesium, and folic acid. Together these can help reduce blood pressure, support the immune system, and lower the risk of certain cancers, heart attack, and stroke, making zuc- chini the perfect vegetable for any wholesome meal. Although the festival is centered on zucchini, there will be numer- ous other forms of entertainment to suit everyone’s interests. Arts and crafts booths highlighting the work of dedicated Bay Area artisans will be at the festival including displays of beaded jewelry, hand-woven bas- kets, pottery, quilts, and handmade soaps. Local organizations and businesses will also have booths sharing information about their prod- ucts and services. For younger visitors, a special area called “kids town” will offer rides, games, play areas, and other kid-friendly activities. The main stage hosts live entertainment by local musicians both days. Enjoy some great zucchini, spend time with family and friends, and make some unforgettable memories during this year’s “Hayward Zucchini Festival.” Make sure to support your local festival, artists, and musicians to keep this wonderful event going for many more years to come!

Sons In Retirement is a nonprofit public benefit corporation for retired men. SIR Branch 59 is one of over 100 SIR branches located throughout Northern California meets at noon on the third Thursday of each month at the Newark Pavilion. Every meeting features a guest speaker from the community. Speakers have included college professors, police officers, retired SF Giant and 49er players, and even the editor of TCV. Twice a year the meeting is open to spouses – the May sweetheart luncheon and the December Holiday Luncheon. The goal of Branch 59 and all other SIR branches throughout Northern California is to provide an av- enue for men to have fun in their retirement years. Activities in- clude golf, bowling, walking, computer club, sports, bridge, reading, and much more. Two of the more popular activities are bowling and golf. Members bowl once a week and participate in about 20 tournaments a year. Tournament days usually begin with a breakfast meeting followed by travel to the tournament, sometimes as far as Reno. Some branches allow women to join them in bowling. SIR branch 59 is NCGA certified and plays golf weekly at Sunol. They attend state tournaments about seven times a year. To find more information about the SIR golf group, visit their website at www.sirstategolf.com. The golfers travel to Reno, Las Vegas, Solvang, and the Monterey area for their tournaments. The standard format is scramble, but there is also individual play and 2-man best ball. Ladies (with NCGA handicaps) have a sep- arate tournament at the state tournament, always a scramble for- Greater Tri-City Summer Concerts mat.

Hayward student selected for Junior Giant scholarship

SUBMITTED BY ANNA STOCK-MATTHEWS

Dedicated to top performance on and off the field, the Giants Community Fund sponsors Annual Education Day at AT&T Park to honor outstanding participants of the Junior Giants program. Using baseball as a common denominator, Junior Giants is dedicated to empowering young people. Outstanding participants of the program who have been selected to receive a Harmon and Sue Burns Scholarship will be honored on August 11 during a pre-game home plate ceremony. Among them is Leonardo Macedo of Hayward. Each year, 10 eighth-grade Junior Giants participants and scholars are chosen to receive the $2,500 scholarship based on their leadership skills, character, academic potential and program involvement. Prior to the pre-game ceremony honoring the scholars, the scholars and their families will hear from San Francisco Giants Alum and Special Assistant J. T. Snow about the importance of education. Macedo will receive his scholarship after graduating high school and completing the program. City of ServiceUC Fremont SUBMITTED BY CITY OF UNION CITY
