Stroke Professionals Look at Disease Processes That Impact Stroke Risk

Do you have the tools to prevent stroke? If you’re not sure, plan to attend a free upcoming talk that will highlight simple ways to reduce your risk of this deadly disease. “Many times people don’t realize that common conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes, greatly impact a patient’s overall risk for stroke,” says Washington Hospital’s Stroke Program Medical Director Ash Jain, M.D. “The good news is that stroke can be prevented in as many as 80 percent of cases.” continued on page 16

Make sure stroke doesn't catch you by surprise. Talk to your doctor about an assess- ment of your risk factors including high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol issues and smoking habits. To learn more about how disease processes like diabetes and hy- pertension impact stroke risk, and how to lower your risk of stroke, attend the up- coming free stroke seminar focusing on prevention. The class will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3, in the Conrad E. Anderson, M.D. Auditorium located at 2500 Mowry Avenue in Fremont. To register, call (800) 963-7070 or visit whhs.com.

he back-to-school season is an exciting time, but it can Talso cause anxiety for some children - and parents too! Prepar- ing in advance can help your child feel more confident and have a more positive school experience. Here are six tips from California State PTA (Parent Teacher Associa- tion) for helping to calm jitters during the start of school. Re-assure your child. Anxieties and concerns are normal. Many children will experience these feelings at the start of the school year. Encourage your child to talk openly with you and with teachers about concerns or worries they may have. Point out the positives. Starting a new school year can be fun. Your child will see old friends and/or meet new ones. The first week of school offers a chance to learn about new things and pursue interests. Reinforce with your child the power of learning. Prepare ahead. Have your child pick out the clothes he or she plans on wearing to school the next day as this will save time and stress in the morning. Encourage everyone in the house to go to bed early and get up 15 to 30 minutes early so they’re not rushing around in the morning. Allow enough time for a good breakfast, and make arrangements for your child’s lunch. During the first week of school, find out what additional materials your child may need (pencils, folders, etc.) and make arrange- ments to provide those. Remember: local nonprofit groups and PTAs often can help with some of these supplies, if needed. Encourage safe traveling to and from school. Find another child in the neighborhood with whom your youngster can walk or bike to school, or ride with on the bus. Briefly review some basics of safe walk- ing and biking. If you feel it is appropriate, drive your child (or walk) to school and pick him or her up on the first day. Plan for special needs. If your child requires medication, treat- ment or has special needs, talk to the school administrative staff, then talk to your child about how those needs will be handled at school (what time to go to the office for medication or what foods in the cafe- teria to avoid, etc.). Prepare for emergency situations. What should your child do if you are late picking them up, or if no one is home when they arrive home? What should your child do if he or she feels picked on while at recess? Talking in advance with your child and having a plan will help minimize panic and stress. PTA connects families and schools, and can help kids and parents feel welcomed at school throughout the year. For more back-to-school tips for parents and information on the importance of family engage- ment, contact your local PTA or visit www.capta.org. Telephone scam

SUBMITTED BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW

As football season draws near, the Newark Cougars got a good test of their readiness in a scrim- mage contest with the Amador Valley Dons (Pleasanton) on Fri- day, August 23. The Cougar offense showed up quickly as they were able to spread out the Don defense creat- ing holes in the line, allowing Cougar runners to use their speed. Offensive power allowed the Cougars to choose between many options which will serve them well in Mission Valley Ath- letic League (MVAL) play. Both teams showed promise in this preseason contest and were impressive when the defense was tested in the backfield. Newark showed heart as they fought hard for every possession; this could be a good season for the Cougars.

Youth Center St. Anne’s gets SMART

SUBMITTED BY MYRLA RAYMUNDO

It all started when a woman attending the 8 a.m. Mass fainted. Mellie von Giese, a parishioner and nurse came up with the idea of creating a medical group at St. Anne. She reasoned that since many parishioners are doctors and nurses why not organize them to help in this kind of situation? That was the beginning of S.M.A.R.T. (St. Anne Medical Action Response Team). St. Anne Catholic Church of approximately 5,000 family members headed by Pastor Geoffrey Baraan is now ready to help if med- ical emergencies arise. Workshops on Health Awareness will be presented to parish- ioners periodically. The first workshop was held June 22, 2013. SMART members include: Mellie von Giese, Coordinator; Dr. Claire Segui; Dr. Noel Panlilio; Dr. Dante Dizon; Dr. Karen Segui; Rachel Romero; Zeny Morales; Jovita Marquez; Dr. Michael Viernes; Fanny Panlilio; Estella Dacasin; Gloria Ramos Page 32 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE August 27, 2013

Every year, on the third Saturday in September, people join to- gether at sites across California to take part in the State’s largest volunteer event, California Coastal Cleanup Day. In 2012, over 65,000 volunteers removed nearly 770,000 pounds of trash and re- cyclables from California’s beaches, lakes, and waterways. Families, friends, coworkers, scout troops, school groups, service clubs, and individuals come together to celebrate and share their appreciation of California’s fabulous coast and waterways. The event is part of the International Coastal Cleanup, organized by the Ocean Con- servancy, which is the largest volunteer event on the planet. In honor of the 30th annual California Coastal Cleanup Day, the City of Fremont will be hosting cleanup events at seven differ- ent locations on Saturday, Sept. 21 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. If you are interested in participating, please pre-register at www.Fre- mont.gov/CoastalCleanupDay to guarantee a spot. Drop-in partic- ipants are also welcome; however, some locations may be full at the time of arrival. Please note the City does not allow anyone under the age of six to participate in this event. For more information please contact the Coastal Cleanup Day Coordinator at [email protected] or (510) 494-4570. Page 34 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE August 27, 2013
