Dear Doctor,

Is there a rule of thumb for how many years it takes for your lungs to return to normal after quitting smoking? I have heard it is seven years for every year of smoking. Is this accurate?

Dear Reader, I am not aware of any specific time frame that would return the lungs back to their normal state of health after smoking. The amount of time and number of cigarettes one smoked would surely impact this as well. There are permanent changes that occur in the lungs with smoking that would not change over time and there are other changes that may be reversible. The actual time to halt or reverse these changes is unknown, but they begin as soon as smoking is stopped.

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month. If you are thinking of adding a furry pal to your family, please consider opening your home and heart to an older cat or dog waiting and hoping you’ll find them and take them home. Puppies and kittens are cute; however, older pets are just as affec- tionate and fun as these youngsters. Adopting an older pet comes with bonuses. Mature pets don’t require the constant monitoring that pup- pies and kittens do. Many are already house trained. Since mature pets are fully grown, you will quickly know things such as the pets’ person- ality, activity level, grooming needs, etc., making it easier to choose the right pet to fit into your family. Senior pets are often overlooked and the last to be adopted from shelters.

ecently, the Galindo-Higuera Adobe in Warm Springs received a R much needed floor renovation. The adobe, built between 1830-1840 and fully restored in 1978, is one of the last remaining adobe buildings from the Spanish-Mexican era in the Tri-city area. Located in Rancho Higuera Historical Park, the adobe building and grounds are owned by the City of Fremont. The Washington Township Museum of Local History (caretaker of the property) has worked closely with the Mission San Jose Rotary in the past, most often in regards to improvements to the adobe and park grounds.

Football Mariners move on

SUBMITTED AND PHOTOS BY MIKE HEIGHTCHEW

The Moreau Catholic Mariners moved to next round of the NCS (North Coast Section football tournament on November 11th by beating the Harker Eagles of San Jose 48-24 with an impressive performance on offense as they took control of the game right from the start and never looked back. The Mariner offensive line started things off right by opening holes for Jullen Ison as he had another great day with 248 yards and one run of 88 yards. With Ison drawing in the Eagle defense, the Mariner pass game opened up, keeping the Harker defense off balance. The Mariners defense also closed down the running game of Harker.

A great year for the John F. Kennedy Titans came to end as they lost to Eureka Loggers in NCS (North Coast Section) foot- ball tournament 35-48 on No- vember 12th. The Titans never stopped fighting to get back into the game as they scored touch- downs in the second and third quarters and tallied an impressive 21 points in the fourth quarter. A Titan win, however, was not in the cards; they could not close the gap as the Loggers scored more points in each quarter to earn the win. Junior High Softball Championship

Softball SUBMITTED BY EMILY BEAN

On October 28, Fremont Christian School’s Junior High Softball team prevailed in the BACAL (Bay Area Christian Athletic League) Championship game against Tabernacle. McKenna N. pitched six great innings to get the win for her team. She did not walk a single batter the whole game. Maleia C. was a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate and made three sparkling plays on defense. Second baseman Leia G. had two hits and 2 RBI’s, as did first baseman Keely C. Kamila R. and Kayla C. reached base three times, and scored twice. Annie Y. had three singles, and scored two runs. Samantha W. caught the whole game, and reached base twice. Taliyah H. walked and scored to start a big rally in the fifth inning. To start the fifth inning the score was 1-to-1, but Fremont Christian scored six times in the fifth to put the game away. Solid defense from Veronique V., and Daniel R. helped the ladies prevail! Congratulations to the Lady Warriors and their coaches Chris Gomez and Phil Woodman.

SUBMITTED BY MATT SCHWAB

The young Chabot men’s basketball team has 11 freshmen and two re- turners for the 2016-17 Season. Under new coach Aaron O’Brien, the Gladiators are preparing to play in the powerful Coast-North Conference, so the newbies will need to learn their lessons quickly in nonconference play. “We’re young and Chabot basketball player, sophomore Dalvin Guy we’re not tested,” said O’Brien, whose team hosted the Chabot Tipoff Tournament (Nov. 10-12) to open the sea- son. “And we play in one of the better leagues in California, probably best league in Northern California with San Francisco and Las Positas. They’re ranked 1 and 2. Foothill and Ohlone are supposed to be pretty good this year as well, so we definitely have our work cut out for us.” O’Brien, who spent the past eight seasons coaching Mt. Eden High in Hayward, says the Gladiators will lean heavily on sophomore Dalvin Guy. The squad has some talent in the mix. O’Brien knows his stuff. He guided Mt. Eden to a 27-6 overall record in the 2015-16 season, including a 9-0 mark in the WACC-Shoreline. He also coached at Ohlone; San Leandro High; the Quad City Thunder in the NBA developmental league; Holy Names College; and UC Davis. The Ukiah native also played and coached in Europe for a few years. In other sports news, the Chabot women’s basketball team split games to open the season, beating Mission 91-83 and falling to Foothill 58-55. De’Zire Hall had 19 points and 13 rebounds against Foothill. She also scored a team-high 26 points and had 13 boards against Mission. Tylore Bell had 20 points and nine assists.
