Dear Doctor, I had surgery a month ago to remove my gall- bladder. Do I need to worry about exposing my fresh scars to the sun or can I wear a bikini?

Dear Reader, There is a small but increased risk of getting skin cancer in fresh scars within the first year. The best thing to do is to cover your scars completely with clothing or a Band-Aid. If you must expose your skin to the sun, dab visible drops of sunscreen on the scars so that they are completely covered.

Dear Doctor, Our neighbors have a pool with a diving board. Is this safe for my children to go on?

Dear Reader, Although severe injury can occur from diving board accidents, most accidents occur from diving off the side of the pool. I would advocate teaching your children about water safety including the hazards of diving from the side of the pool and off the board. A well-supervised diving board is safe as long as there is limited spring to either the board or the base.

Yet the glass in your home is arguably among its most important features, di- rectly impacting the structure's overall energy efficiency and livability. Well-maintained, operational win- dows and skylights provide abundant natural light and passive ventilation, and models are available that maximize insu- lation values as well. If you've been over- looking the glass in your home even while you've been looking through it, take a moment to reflect on its condi- tion, and whether it's helping you save energy or costing you money. How windows work in your favor The advantages glass brings to a home may seem obvious, but a deeper look re- veals just how important it really is. Over time, homes have become much more energy efficient - which is good for the environment and your wallet - and better windows and skylights have a lot to do with that improvement.

Drama camp students rehearse for Friends of Children with Special Needs’ “Toy Story.” 30,000 feet of lawn replaced in Union City parks

SUBMITTED BY LAUREN SUGAYAN

Union City has planted new native trees at the San Andreas Park and the surrounding areas as part of an Alameda County Water District grant to remove lawns and replace them with drought-tolerant plants. The City removed 30,000 feet of under- utilized lawn in preparation for the new trees. These native, drought-tolerant trees will not require supplemental watering after a few years of drip watering. Drip watering systems, installed throughout the City over the last few years, are an alternative to the standard lawn sprinkler and are considered to be a controlled and efficient system of water distribution. This is all part of a continuous effort by the City’s Public Works Department to promote water conservation efforts and drought-friendly landscapes, even long before it became a State mandate. In fact, the City has won multiple awards for replacing a total of 300,000 square feet of underutilized lawn over the last five years. More recently, they received the Eagle Scout’s Water Master Award for being leaders in the Silicon Valley Area as it re- lates to water conservation. The City aims to lead by example in an overall effort to en- courage residents to transition their yards to more drought-toler- ant landscape. These measures have already saved thousands of gallons of water each year and reduced the loss of plant life in Union City due to the drought. Residents can get more involved by visiting the City’s website, www.unioncity.org, to learn about ways to conserve water at home. Also, Alameda County recently launched “The Drought & You” website to provide people with facts about the Drought, re- sources and tips on how to conserve water (http://www.acgov.org/drought/).

For All Signs: Saturn, planet of reality, is semi-square to Pluto. I mentioned this aspect in July, but it continues for some time to come.

Perhaps you some- how caught between two sets of conflicting rules. There is a sense of immediacy about it as though the work you are doing could make or break your life. You may have been feeling a clear need to reduce your footprint in the world by elimination of stuff.

Tesla’s loss triples in 2Q as it lowers delivery forecast

BY DEE-ANN DURBIN AP AUTO WRITER

DETROIT (AP), Tesla Motors’ upcoming Model X SUV cast a long shadow over the company’s second-quarter results. Tesla’s net loss nearly tripled to $184 million in the April-June pe- riod as it invested in tooling and factory capacity for the new SUV, which is scheduled to go on sale next month. The Palo Alto, California, maker of electric cars also lowered its ex- pectations for full-year sales because it’s not confident suppliers will be able to meet its production goals for the Model X in the fourth quar- ter. It now expects to sell between 50,000 and 55,000 Model S sedans and Model X SUVs this year, down from a previous target of 55,000. “We do think that it’s going to be quite a challenging production ramp on the X,’’ Tesla CEO Elon Musk told analysts on a conference call Wednesday. “We only want to deliver great cars, so we don’t want to drive to a number that’s greater than our ability to deliver high- quality vehicles.’’ SUBMITTED BY BOLDLY ME Candlelighters, Fremont Police Association, Cargill, Tesla’s shares fell $18.13, or 6.7 percent, to $252 in after-hours PHOTO BY BECKETT GLADNEY Dutra Enterprises, Royal Ambulance, Dahn Yoga, Fre- trading following the release of the earnings report. mont Flowers, Fremont Association of Management Musk later mused that the Model X could be “the hardest car to Boldly Me would love for you to come join us, Employees, Well Chosen Words, Robson Homes, build in the world.’’ Its tricky features include unique side doors that play at the water park, and celebrate you!
