Air Travel and Feeling Bloated and Pregnancy Cravings

Dear Doctor, I notice that when I fly I feel bloated. Am I imaging this?

Dear Reader, You are not imaging this! The lower cabin pressure that occurs as the airplane ascends allows the gases in our body to expand, which makes us feel bloated. The best remedy is to keep fluids flowing in and out throughout the flight and to wear comfortable clothing!

Dear Doctor, I am 4 months pregnant and have had some pretty strong cravings. My OB doesn’t believe that there is any science to this. Is he right?

Dear Reader, There is no hard science to understand why women get such strong cravings during pregnancy. However, most scientists believe that it is a way for the body to communi- cate its needs such as calories (for example, craving choco- late) or nutrients like calcium (craving ice cream). Some women also experience aversions during pregnancy. For example, the distaste for bitterness during the first trimester is thought to provide a natural aversion to alcohol and other toxic substances that would affect development. This sensation becomes less strong as pregnancy moves along.

Induz, a Bay Area non-profit focused on comprehensive education including global learning and the arts partnered with the Fremont Cultural Arts Council and Fremont Main Library to provide its eleventh year of “Passport to World Arts” for children. The results of a successful completion of its eleventh year were shown at an exhibition at the Fremont Main Library on Friday, June 19. During the eight week program, each week, 35-55 participants “traveled” around the world using a passport stamped with a visa, to explore geography, culture and arts, past and present. With a healthy dose of imagination, program leaders provided information and the children let their creativity take it from there. For example, at one meeting, ancient Egyptian art was explored that, although figures are shown in profile, a full eye is exposed to the viewer and in some instances combines a human and animal figure. Participating children explored the concept with enthusiasm and creativity that, as Ray Mitra of Induz said, “Tran- scended boundaries.” For more information about Induz and its programs, visit: www.induz.org

If possible, save enough money to do the whole project at once, so you get maximum bang for your buck. Speaking of money, what is your budget for this project? Is it realistic?

SUBMITTED BY BRIAN KILLGORE

Each year, Irvington High School’s (IHS) soon-to-be-retired Home Economics teacher, Sue Paulsen, encourages her Parent and Child- hood Development students to make baby blankets for Project Linus - an organization that provides homemade blankets to children in need. This year, Mrs. Paulsen and her students completed 21 flannel patchwork baby blankets for this worthy cause. Thank you to all IHS students for their time and generosity and especially to Mrs. Paulsen for leading the effort. Visit www.projectlinus.org for more information.

Tri-City Stargazer JULY 1 - JULY 7, 2015 BY VIVIAN CAROL For All Signs: For many weeks this summer, Saturn will be semi-square to Pluto. Whatever is corrupt must be exorcised or transformed under this influence. This battle will be occurring both globally and individually. Two very important clean-ups have occurred during June: The House of Rep- resentatives stopped the fast track of the dark Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, which favored corporations; and the Federal Communica- tions Commission is once again in charge of broadband, which does not allow huge corporations (Pluto) to block or slow streaming to the public. There will no doubt be a huge fight over each of these because corrupt people will not give up easily. This aspect will likely bring a major pushback on the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling. Many people in the public eye will be exposed for their deeds.

BART service disruption next two weekends SUBMITTED BY BART DISTRICT

BART is encouraging travelers to plan ahead and to find alternate means of transportation across the Bay during two upcoming closures of transbay train service. BART will close the West Oakland Station and will not run trains between West Oakland and Embarcadero stations the first weekend in August and during Labor Day weekend while we repair a critical section of track near the Transbay Tube. BART will offer lifeline bus service between 19th Street in Oakland and the Temporary Transbay Terminal in San Francisco, but the buses are intended only for those who have no other options. There will be no additional charge for the bus. The bus bridge will cause 1 to 2 hour delays for some customers. During the shutdowns, train service within the East Bay and within the West Bay and the Peninsula will be more frequent than during a typical weekend. Dates and times of the track closures are as follows:

August 1-2: From end of service Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. September 5-7: From end of service Friday and all day Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Page 20 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE June 30, 2015 June 30, 2015 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE Page 21

Tri-City Health Center (TCHC) welcomed about 70 guests at its Open House held on Thursday, June 4, 2015 at the Liberty Street site in Fremont. Guests were welcomed by TCHC executive leaders and staff, and provided with tours of the center and information about the services TCHC provides. A ribbon-cutting ceremony also took place for the new Vision Clinic, which is located in the Liberty Street site. Housed with state-of-the-art equipment, the clinic provides eye exams and makes prescription glasses as well. The staff accepts patients with Medi-Cal health insurance, as well as referrals from other clinics. With one full-time optometrist and another one on-call, the clinic hopes to grow its staff in the long run. The Vision Clinic, located at 39500 Liberty Street, is open Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.tri-cityhealth.org or call (510) 770-8040 for From left: Tri-City Health Center CEO Dr. Zettie Page, Palo Alto Medical Foundation’s Alameda Division appointments.

SUBMITTED BY DAVE BAPTIST

The Moreau Catholic HS Dept. of Athletics has announced its replacement for long-time varsity girls’ basketball coach Jack Kennedy. Antoinette “Toni” West, former head coach at Cal State University East Bay and Las Positas Community College, will take the reigns for the 2015-16 season. West was most recently the Director of Operations for the Women’s Volleyball and Basketball programs at UC Riverside, having additionally served as head basketball coach at Shepherd University in West Virginia. “I’m excited to return to the high school level where I can utilize my experience in the preparation of student-athletes during the most important phase of their development,” West said. “Toni will be a great role model,” said Christine Krisman, Moreau Catholic Athletic Director. “Her passion and enthusiasm will create a great atmosphere for the basketball program.” Krisman noted that the task of replacing Kennedy, whose 24 seasons at Moreau included a 1992 state title, was a daunting one. But West’s vast experience at the college level made her an attractive candidate. “Her insight into the college-recruiting process will be invaluable to our athletes,” Krisman said. West’s coaching career began 21 years ago at Milpitas High. “I was extremely blessed that I quickly moved up in the collegiate coaching ranks due to my basketball knowledge and ability to recruit,” West said. “The opportunities I had extended my professional development, network, and teaching experience. More importantly, it increased my love for player development, and my desire to be home.” An East Bay native, West earned her MA in Health, Physical Education & Recreation at St. Mary’s and her BA in Communication Studies at San Jose State. West noted that Moreau Catholic is “a high school that values strong academics, athletics, and spiritual development in its students.” In addition to her coaching duties, West will teach classes in the Dept. of Physical Education.

SUBMITTED BY SUSAN HELMER

The vibrant colors of India, spontaneity of the people, textures found in fabrics and spices, architecture and sense of vibrancy in every corner of the country – have all stirred artistic passion in Durba Sen and helped to create a dynamic vibrancy on canvas! Color and texture weave through her imagination and feelings to render beautiful landscapes, still lives and vivid abstract art. Oil and acrylic are the mediums this artist prefers to use with a varied mix of textures to create her masterpieces. For Sen, canvas is a blank slate where she expresses her thoughts, feelings, emotions and views, and her journey through life! The public is invited to share in the spontaneous mix of colors and textures that define the work of this artist.

Durba Sen - East Meets West Artist Reception: Sunday, Jul 12 1:30 p.m. – 4 p.m. Exhibit: Saturday, Jul 11 – Sunday, Jul 26 Tuesday - 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday - 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday – 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday - 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fremont Art Association Gallery 37697 Niles Blvd, Fremont (510)792-0905 www.fremontartassociation.org

Langenbach (Fremont) will add one more accolade to to state her illustrious and colorful career – a piece hanging in the State Capitol. “Don’t Let This Be The Last Drop” is an assemblage association board going on display on the third floor of the Capitol and will run through September 2016. The art work was selected by State Senator Wieckowski (D-Fremont) to represent Senate District 10. The piece is part of a larger State Senate program to celebrate contemporary California and reflect the state’s rich diversity, culture, and its spectacular natural beauty. “Given the reality that the drought is not just a seasonal variance but part of a broader global climate change, Californians will have to come to the realization that there are long term ramifications from fail- ing to modify their personal water use.
