Questions for Dr. Maish should be emailed to Ask the Doctor at: [email protected] Adhesive Capsulitis and Carpal Tunnel Surgery Dear Doctor, I recently went to see my doctor for shoulder pain and after several x-rays he determined that I have adhesive capsulitis from an old sports injury. What exactly is adhesive capsulitis and what can I do about it?

Dear Reader, The shoulder joint is very complex, involving several bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The basic shape resembles a ball that sits in a socket. The capsule that contains the ball and socket is lubricated so that the ball moves smoothly inside the socket. If there is an injury to the capsule creating inflammation, it will heal by scarring. This then makes it difficult to move the shoulder joint around. Mild forms of adhesive capsulitis can be treated with physical therapy while more severe forms may require surgery to cut and remove scar tissue in order to loosen things up.

Dear Doctor, I have carpal tunnel syndrome and it was recom- mended that I have carpal tunnel release. I read online that this surgery can be done in a minimally invasive way. Is there any advantage to this approach or should I stick to the conventional surgery?

Dear Reader, Carpal tunnel can be treated many ways. If severe enough, it will require surgery for definitive improvement. A minimally invasive approach may limit your pain after surgery but it may also limit the ability of the surgeon to adequately cut all of the tissue. Ask your surgeon about his/her success rate with the minimally invasive approach and then make your decision.

SUBMITTED BY BIKE EAST BAY

Even though the weather threat- ened to rain on their parade, thousands of bicyclists participated in the Bay Area’s 21st annual Bike to Work Day celebration on Thursday, May 14, 2015. Recent years have seen an exceptional growth in the popularity of Bike to Work Day, as well as bike commuting overall in the East Bay. “Bike to Work Day is our favorite day of the year because we see so many people try biking for the first time. Once people try a healthy active commute, many change their habits to make biking to work, school or play a regular part of their routine,” said Renee Rivera, Executive Director of Bike East Bay. This year’s event took things to the next level by incorporating some advanced advocacy work in the mix. With three protected bikeway demonstrations in Berkeley, Castro Valley and Fremont, bicyclists experienced the next generation of bikeways in addition to riding to work. These temporary bikeways were created with remov- able street striping and barriers, simulating designs for potential permanent protected bike lanes. Bike to School Day in Alameda County was a success this year, with over 2,200 students bicycling, 460 scootering and 178 skateboarding. In Castro Valley, Bike East Bay’s local working group, Bike Walk CV, set up a second pop-up bikeway demo by the Castro Valley High School. Other participants include Castro Valley High School Principal Blaine Torpey and San Leandro Mayor Pauline Cutter. The City of San Lean- dro also saw a 20 percent increase in the number of bicyclists counted compared to last year.

At the May 5 meeting, the Board recognized and honored the James Logan High School Boys and Girls Wrestling Teams. The Logan girls’ team took the North Coast Section (NCS) championship for the third straight year and sent half a dozen wrestlers to the state championship. At the state meet, the team placed third, led by newly-crowned state champion, Vanessa Tria, fifth-place qualifier, Talissa Noriega, and sixth-place wrestler, Hayley Aguilar. The Logan boys’ team hosted the NCS wrestling meet for the first time in nineteen years. The team took fifth as a group led by freshman Aaron Perez, who pinned all opponents on his way to his NCS title. Also wrestling to success were Jacob Gomez (2nd place), Nico Blanco and Manavjot Singh (3rd place), Rolan Bautista (5th place) and Jhareli Bruce (6th place). Congratulations to coaches Robert Flores and Colin Malcolm for a job well done! The Board heard a presentation by Dr. Jose Lopez whose group had completed a comprehensive review of the District’s English Learner program. The group made recommendations that included the development of a new English Learner Master Plan, a needs-assessment to identify teacher skill-sets in English Learner literacy development, and an examination of its current efforts in communicating and engaging parents/guardians of English Learners, among others. At the meeting, the Board also approved a number of professional development contracts that support the training of staff in areas such as Aca- demic Parent-Teacher Teams, Reading Apprenticeship, and Math Studio.

Kiwanis Club of Fremont beautifies shelter garden SUBMITTED BY SHIRLEY SISK

On April 11, members of the Kiwanis Club of Fremont and students from the Key Clubs of Washington High and American High Schools, sponsored by Kiwanis, set out to spend the day creating a complete makeover of the garden at Sunrise Village in Fremont. Sunrise Village is an emergency shelter that is part of the larger organization, Abode Services. After pulling weeds, and cutting back shrubs, students added a beautiful white stone path to a new fountain, planted flowers and shrubs, installed artwork on the walls and widened the pathway to the garden for wheelchair accessibility. The end result is a lovely tranquil outdoor setting for Abode residents and staff to enjoy. For more information on the Kiwanis Club of Fremont and volunteer opportunities, contact Zia Oboodiyat (415) 706-5164. May 19, 2015 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE Page 13

BY DAVID R. NEWMAN As any DIY homeowner knows, tools are the key to success. Having the right tool will make any project much simpler and easier, and can cut down on unneeded stress. There is a tool for everything these days, but many are too expensive for the average handyman (or woman). So what to do when your neighbor doesn’t have that stump grinder you were hoping to bor- row? Why, head to a rental tool company, of course! Above: Rotary hammer.

And while these places cater more to the industrial and construction fields, there are still plenty of options for the DIYer looking to save money on a tool that they might use only once.

Tri-City Stargazer MAY 20 – MAY 26, 2014 BY VIVIAN CAROL

For All Signs: The ongoing tension between Uranus (for the people) and Pluto (for the Plutocrats) is punctuated this week by transiting Venus, who is creating a triangle among the three. Venus is the goddess that rules money and cooperative agreements. Her presence in this group is likely to bring drama triangles to both individuals and the world at large. In a drama triangle there is a victim, a perpetrator, and a rescuer. Sometimes they alternate roles. For example, the rescuer in one scenario may be turned on by both the victim and the perpetrator, and his/her role evolves to that of the victim. Many families unconsciously fall into the drama triangle pattern. On the globe, previous agreements may be broken and/or negotiations may break down.

SUBMITTED BY GREG LOOMIS

Imagine clamping a building you designed onto a ‘shake table’ in front of a huge cheering crowd, to see if the structure will be standing after it gets hit by simulated earthquakes. Throw in some giant video monitors to broadcast the nervous energy, elation, and disappointment, across the arena, and you’ll understand something of what it’s like to be in a Tech Challenge. The 28th Annual Tech Challenge was held on the weekend of April 25 - 26, at the San Jose Tech Museum of Innovation. This year’s challenge, “Building Excite- ment: Seismic Engineering in Action,” drew over 2,400 participating students (600 teams) from around the Silicon Valley. The challenge was for each team to design and build a light-weight structure from simple materials, and then test the design on an earthquake simulator. Guidelines provided by the Tech Museum staff were very specific with rules for the maximum dimensions, construction, and how points would be awarded for concepts such as useable floor space and the load (weight) each structure could bear. Points were also awarded for how well structures resisted/absorbed the shock from the simulated quakes, as shown by lateral drift measurements. The teams documented their designs, materials, and processes, in engineering jour- nals which accounted for an additional third of their score.

SUBMITTED BY DIANA ROHINI LAVIGNE

On February 13, 2015, San Leandro-based Creekside Community Church hosted the 10th annual Valentine’s Dance for teens and adults affected by a disability. This event was selected by Life Chiropractic College West students as an opportunity for the student body to engage in a community service project. Thirty-two Life West students attended and helped in several ways, including greeting guests and providing dancing partners for attendees. Over 400 people attended the dance and enjoyed a special meal, a night filled with dancing, and great company.

She had hurt her back dancing. She was very upset because she wanted to keep dancing. I saw her crying and went over to cheer her up. I taught her some breathing techniques to calm her down,” shares Barbakoff. “After a few minutes with her, she decided that she couldn’t dance anymore and would head home. I was Hindus seek Diwali proud of her for knowing not to push herself too hard. She hugged me and said, ‘I love you,’ and I told her I love her too.

Cal State University East Bay (CSUEB) has earned a spot on the list of top 10 online hospitality management degree programs in the U.S. from the higher education experts at BestColleges.com. The program was developed by Melany Spielman, chair of CSUEB’s Department of Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism, who was commended for doing “an excellent job leading the program to success,” by BestColleges.com. CSUEB’s online program, which results in a Bachelor of Science degree in hospitality and tourism, was started at the request of hoteliers who needed educated managers for the thriving hospitality and tourism sector in the Bay Area, Spiel- man said. The hospitality content is guided by CSUEB faculty member Margaret Zeiger, who has more than 30 years of industry experience and 15 years in teaching. “Employers from San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and the entire state of California want to help employees earn their degrees, but they need them to stay at their jobs. Online education provides an excellent path to accomplish this challenge,” Spielman said.

Newark Memorial hosts badminton tournament

Newark Memorial’s gymnasium was filled with birds (also known as shuttlecocks) batted at amazing speeds and with the finesse and drama of other major sports. On May 16th, the North Coast Section Bad- minton Tournament occupied a central focus of singles and doubles action in one of the top world sports that is given little attention in the United States. Due to the influence of great diversity of people from all over the world in the Greater Tri-City area, popular sports in other countries are gaining notoriety locally. The skill and technical prowess required for quality Badminton competition was certainly evident at the Mission Valley Athletic League tournament. Final scores and standings were unavailable at press time.

Cal State East Bay junior Marquise Cherry has been named on May 13, 2015, a 2015 All-West Re- gion honoree by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFC- CCA). The Diamond Bar native earns All-Region recognition for his performance in both the Long Jump and Triple Jump this season as a member of the Pioneer men’s track and field team. On May 2, Cherry became just the second CSUEB New Address student-athlete in program history to capture a Cali- fornia Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Cham- pionship, taking first place in the Long Jump finals. His winning distance of 24 feet, 10 inches (7.57 meters) ranks as the sixth-longest in Pioneer history. Cherry also notched a podium finish in the Triple Jump, placing second at CCAA Championships with a leap of 47 feet, 7.25 inches (14.51 meters). Both marks are among the top five for all jumpers in the West Re- gion for the 2015 season. Kennedy remains undefeated

On May 12th, the John F. Kennedy Titans remained on top of the Mission Valley Athletic League (MVAL) by rallying in the fifth and sixth innings to maintain a stainless 12-0 record. Moreau Catholic Mariners were not an easy opponent, showing their defensive prowess and offensive power in the early innings with three runs in the second inning. But in the end, the Titans prevailed 5-4 by putting together nine hits scoring two runs in the fifth and an additional three in the sixth. The game was filled with outstanding defensive plays on the base paths and home plate. A later game on May 13th was a definitive victory for the Titans ending with a score of 12-1.

THEATRE

SUBMITTED BY SUSAN E. EVANS PHOTO BY TERRY SULLIVAN

The Douglas Morrisson Theatre (DMT) is excited to announce the final show in their 2014-2015 Journeys Season: Thornton Wilder’s vast absurd comedy about the human race, “The Skin of Our Teeth.” The play will have 15 performances, including one preview, May 21 through June 14 at the Douglas Morrisson Theatre in Hayward. Tickets are $10-$29, and are available through the Box Office at (510) 881-6777 or online at www.dmtonline.org. The 1943 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Best Drama, The Skin of Our Teeth is a timeless classic of the American stage, as wacky and moving today as it was over 70 years ago. Wilder’s archetypal Papa and Mama, George and Maggie Antrobus, have been married for a mere 5,000 years; they have two “perfect” children, Gladys and Henry, and a vamp for a maid.

Hsieh resolved to create a festival celebrating Asian-American heritage; the first event was held at the Guadalupe River Park in San Jose.
