This is an ongoing column in which community physicians answer your health-related questions. Questions should be emailed to Ask the Doctor at: [email protected] Cholesterol levels

Dear Doctor, What affects my cholesterol levels the most? Is it red meat, fat, and eggs or sugars and carbohydrates?

Dear Reader, Your total cholesterol is a measure of all the cholesterol levels in your blood, including high-density lipoprotein (good HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (bad LDL). For years we were told that fat raises cholesterol and causes heart attacks but it has recently been proven to show that excess consumption of glucose (as found in sugars, breads, rice, fruit juices and soda) is the main culprit. With HDL cholesterol, higher levels are optimal (more than 45mg/dL) as it helps protect against heart disease. HDL levels are affected by exercise, moderate alcohol consumption and genetics. As we understand it now, although a low-level LDL (less than 100mg/dL, which is affected by the consumption of sugar) is optimal, lowering your LDL levels should no longer be the primary focus. Your overall cholesterol goal should depend on your age and other risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Speak to your primary physician to ensure you are following a heart-healthy physical activity regimen and diet.

FUSD students named 2017 National Merit Scholarship semifinalists

SUBMITTED BY BRIAN KILLGORE

Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) High Schools were again well-represented among the approxi- mately 16,000 National Merit Scholarship semifinalists for 2017. In all, 123 FUSD students, representing four of the District’s comprehensive high schools, were on the list, helping Fremont post the 3rd-highest num- ber of semifinalists (128) among cities in California – trailing only San Jose (224) and San Diego (167). “It is always exciting to see our students consistently perform well and represent the Fremont community in such a positive way,” said FUSD Superintendent, Dr. Jim Morris. “I thank all the students for their hard work and congratulate their teachers and families for their support in and out of the classroom.” Leading the way for FUSD was Mission San Jose High School with 84 semifinalists – the most of any school in California for the fourth- consecutive year. Irvington High School placed 19 students on the list, followed by American High School with 15 andWashington High School with five. After submitting applications demonstrating their ac- ademic record, community service, leadership, employment and hon- ors/awards received, FUSD students will join other semifinalists nationwide competing for 7,500 scholarships worth more than $33 million. Those selected as National Merit Scholarship Finalists will be notified in the spring. Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, ac- complishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference. Fourteen FUSD students were named 2016 National Merit Scholar- ship Finalists last year. Visit www.nationalmerit.org for more informa- tion about the program. Visit the District’s website at www.fremont.k12.ca.us, Facebook, or Twitter pages for more information about local semi-finalists. October 11, 2016 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE Page 7

Bill to improve Wireless Lifeline Service Program signed into Law

SUBMITTED BY TOMASA DUENAS

Assembly Bill (AB) 2570, a bill that will give guidance to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to improve the administration of the wireless California Lifeline Program (Lifeline) was signed into law by Governor Brown. The Moore Universal Service Telephone Act of 1987 directed the CPUC to develop Lifeline to provide basic telephone service at a discounted cost to low-income households. In January 2014, the CPUC ex- panded the program beyond just wireline service to allow wireless carriers to offer LifeLine service. “The en- rollment process for Lifeline has experienced problems with customers enrolling in multiple service plans within a short period of time or repeatedly switching among various services,” Assemblymember Quirk stated in explaining his reason for authoring the bill. “Failure to act and create more stability would put the program at risk of being eliminated,” he continued. In order to expeditiously begin to deal with existing problems in the program’s administration, AB 2570 requires the CPUC to adopt a rule regarding an enrollment freeze by January 15, 2017. In adopting a rule, the CPUC must consider that the enrollment freeze be for 60 days, but also include some period of time where an enrollee can terminate lifeline service without penalty. Lastly, the CPUC must also consider put- ting requirements in place that would enable the lifeline program administrator to provide more informa- Scan for our FREE App or tion in real time to providers about the enrollment status of potential subscribers.

Signing of this bill continues to improve access and affordability to the what is happening. We also have the program,” Assemblymember Quirk commented upon learning his bill was signed. back issues archived Website of Assemblymember Quirk, District 20: http://www.asmdc.org/quirk October 11, 2016 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE Page 9

SUBMITTED BY CARMEN MINCH

If it’s October it’s time again to celebrate nature and the abun- dance of wildlife at the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Fremont. As part of the annual National Wildlife Recognition week, the refuge is planning a bounty of free fun and educational activities on Saturday, October 15. Visitors will have a chance to get close up views of many of the birds, insects and other critters that live in the sloughs and mud at the center and contribute to our food chain. Visitors also will have a chance to enjoy a bike ride along the bay or take a relaxing stroll along the waterfront. Among the highlights of the day will be a duck stamp display program featuring Fremont resident Stacy Chen, who created the winning image used on the 2016-17 National Junior Duck Stamp sponsored by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services. Stacy’s colored pencil drawing shows a pair of Ross’s geese swim- ming in water. A limited number of the stamps will be available for purchase at the event and Stacy will be on hand to autograph them from 1 to 1:45 p.m. Proceeds from the stamp sales raise money for environmental education programs. Visitors also will have a chance to learn about and buy native plants at 10 a.m. at the Visitor Center. Other events include an in- troduction to nature drawing session led by children’s book illustra- tor Linda Knoll at 11 a.m. and a live bird show with representatives from Sulphur Creek Nature Center at 3 p.m. Admission to the center is free, but reservations are needed to participate in the nature drawing session and the twilight marsh walk and can be made by calling the center or visiting the website.

As the drought continues and summer comes to an end, you may be feeling frustrated with the dead grass, brown foliage, and overgrown weeds in your yard. But there are ways to bring your yard back to life. With water-efficient landscaping, you can con- vert your yard into a beautiful year-round garden that is easy and cost-effective to maintain. With sheet mulching, you can remove your lawn without using grass-killing chemicals and without spending a lot of money. You can then plant drought-resistant trees, shrubs, succulents, native plants, and grasses. Surround your plants with a 3-inch layer of bark mulch to help prevent water runoff and allow air and water to penetrate the soil.

To learn more about water-wise gardening, the Alameda County Water District (ACWD) is hosting a free workshop, “Gardening with CA Native & Drought Tolerant Plants,” on Tuesday, October 25.

Shanele Stires, who served as Associate Head Coach for the women’s basketball team at the University of San Francisco the last four years, has been named the new Head Coach at Cal State Uni- versity East Bay (CSUEB) by In- terim Director of Athletics Dr. Don Sawyer. Stires’ appointment follows the recent resignation of Molly Goodenbour. “I am excited to introduce Shanele Stires as the head women’s basketball coach at California State University East Bay,” stated Sawyer. “Coach Stires’ experience, background and commitment to student- athletes’ success well posi- tion her to lead and continue the program’s strong momentum over the last several years.” In her role as the Associate Head Coach, Stires was USF’s recruiting coordinator as well as the team’s pri- mary defensive coach. She was instrumental in the Dons’ recent success as the West Coast Conference champions in 2015-16 and NCAA Tournament qualifiers for the first time in 19 years. “This is a great University that attracts great student-athletes who have worked hard to establish a suc- cessful program and achieve the first conference championship and appearance in the NCAA Tournament last year. I look forward to working with the returning and new players to build upon this momentum in the years ahead,” said Stires. Stires received her Master’s Degree in Collegiate Athletics from University of San Francisco (2016), and holds a bachelor’s degree in social science from Kansas State (1995).

Georgi and the Rough week return to the stage at Mis- sion Coffee Saturday, October 15. R&B influenced by the Blues with a Rock flair, Georgi and the Rough Week have a wide range of music. Combining original songs with classic covers, this band has a style best described as hot! Singing for over 30 years, Georgi Sneckner Longboya’s vocals are sexy and guttural, like those of Janis Joplin or Tina Turner. Lead guitarist Roland Longboya has been playing guitar for over 30 years as well and brings over the top licks. Mike Tringali on bass brings strong background vocals and foundation, while Dan Lewis on drums with his beat and strong background vocals ties it all together. Founded by Sneckner Longboya and Longboya in 1996, Georgi and the Rough Week has played at many local events, including a Drivers for Survivors fundraiser show and twice at the annual Olive Festival, serving as headliners for this year’s fest on October 1. To say that Sneckner Longboya is a cancer fighter is a massive understatement. An 11-year survivor, she has ded- icated untold hours at a Pleasanton cancer clinic, helping, holding, listening to people going down the same road she went down. Wayne Brask spent four years on that road as well. For years she was there for others, and we thank them for the passion they bring to the stage and appreciate their support in the fight against cancer over the years. On a recent Facebook post, Sneckner Longboya said (510) 623-6920 that the Mission Coffee concert could be Georgi and the Georgi and the Rough Week www.georgiandtheroughweek.com Rough Week’s “final performance as a collective musical Saturday, Oct 15 http://www.braskhouseconcerts.com/ collaboration and otherwise collection of pretty fabulous 7 p.m. http://www.fremontcoffee.com/ players!
