Dear Doctor, It seems as though every time we go on vacation, one of my children gets the stomach flu and passes it along to other family members. Can you suggest ways to prevent this?

Dear Reader, There are no scientific methods to prevent the stomach flu, but some ideas that may help if you have little ones include: covering their hands with mittens so items on dirty floors aren’t picked up and placed into the mouth, paying attention that siblings aren’t sharing food or drink, using hand wipes or antiseptic gel before and after every meal and bathroom stop, and cleaning toys and books often. There are also a variety of pro- biotics that promote intestinal immunity. A dose a day for a few days in advance of and during the trip may also help to ward off the evil bugs.

Shreya Ramachandran, an 8th-grade student from Stratford Middle School in Fremont, has been named among the finalists in the Broadcom MASTERS national middle school science and engineering competition, joining those who have made it in the top 30 from a pool of 2,343 entrants nationwide. Shreya’s research project entry was “The Effect of Soap Nut Grey Water on the Environment.” The Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering for Rising Stars) rewards 6th-, 7th- and 8th grade students who follow their personal passions in science or engineering at 300 regional and state science fairs and inspires them to continue their studies in math and science throughout high school. As the students apply project-based learning to the scientific method and the engineering process through hands-on challenges and competitions, they learn the 21st-century skills of critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity. The students will receive $500 and an all-expense paid trip to Washington, DC for the finals week competition from October 28-November 1. Finalists will present their research and compete in hands-on challenges for top prizes, including funds to attend a STEM summer camp, iPads, and the Samueli Prize of $25,000. Each finalists’ school receives $1,000 from the Broadcom Foundation.

ast week as I was catching up with cleaning for the coming holidays, I came across an old dust covered book, the pages L smudged and marked, the sign of a much-loved tale read and re-read in years past. There’s something special about real books that, however convenient, electronic versions just can’t offer—a magical bridge that can be touched, a link to cherished memories and times long gone. Those times are over in our home but it moved me to wonder what is offered today to children of all ages. I especially enjoy books that offer insight into the lives and realities of other species; insights that offer a message of shared compassion and kindness. My first choice was to first re-visit an old friend that sits on that dusty bookcase: ‘Kinship with All Life’ by J. Allen Boone; Paperback 1976. This 40-year-old tome still asks readers the question, “Is there a universal language of love, a ‘kinship with all life’ that can open new horizons of experience?” Is there a quality that exists within other species that we share? Many of us will answer this question with a surprised “Of course.” Unfortunately, the concept of communication with non-humans is often laughed at by those who have never experienced the richness of close association with the other beings of earth. good old USA. The Renegade horsepower and 175 lb.-ft. of roof panels are light and you can All it takes is a mind open to the wonderful gifts that are on offer: wears Jeep body styling, like the torque.

SUBMITTED BY ASHA MAKUR

Team Pixelbots, fourth and fifth grade students from various schools in East Bay, participated in the First Lego League qualifier tournament in San Jose on November 20, 2016. First Lego League (FLL) is a not-for-profit public charity designed to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science and technology, and to motivate them to pursue education and career opportunities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields. It encourages teams to have fun, take risks, focus and frame challenges while incorporating Robotics and service learning. Participants learn patience, flexibility, persistence, ethics, respect for others and their ideas, and the collaborative problem solving process. Pixelbots participated in the challenge for the first time and were one of the youngest teams. They worked together every week for about four months to program a robot to run consistently on the game table. They honed their robot building, programming and debugging skills; their robot scored very well in the tournament. Another part of the challenge was to identify and solve a real-world problem pertaining to interaction of animals and humans. They identified the problem of bird droppings on the sidewalk, that leads people to remove bird nests or find other ways to repel birds. In order for birds to co-exist with humans in the nests outside, they created a model that can be kept on the sidewalk and is easy to clean. The model was created using some household items and PVC pipes. Team members are Ansel Al-ahmedi, Ricky Fong, Justin Hwang, and Neil Makur. Coaches were Asha Makur and GS Hwang. Coaches mentioned that their proudest moments were when they watched team mem- bers come up with innovative ways to resolve conflict. Other than simple voting, they held long discussions and used games of bughouse chess to decide which idea should win. Page 16 WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE November 29, 2016

We also have the back issues archived The Milpitas Trojans lost the Central Coast Section Open Division Championship game with the Menlo-Atherton Bears 17-0 on November 25th. In a game that could have gone either way in the first quarter, three key plays took momentum from the Trojan attack; the Milpitas squad was never able to re- cover. However, the Trojans showed heart as their defense kept them in the game, giving up only 10 points in the first half and seven in the second. Even with the loss, the Trojans may still make it into the Nor-Cal State Tournament when matchups are announced.

SUBMITTED BY GENEVA BOSQUE, FREMONT PD

In the City’s efforts to address increased traffic congestion, new turn restrictions are being implemented to prevent regional cut-through traffic from using Fremont residential roadways. Two neighborhoods approved the turn restrictions that started November 14. These turn restrictions will be in place on Starr Street to Mission Boulevard and Old Canyon Road to Niles Canyon Road during the weekdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Additionally, the City has worked with Google and Waze to incorporate these turn restric- tions into their popular navi- gation applications.
