BLAZING TRAILS AAUW encourages young women to enter STEM-based fields BY DEBRA ESKINAZI
W
ith just as many teenage girls as boys being top consumers of technology, it’s a wonder more young women are not pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)-based professions. A 2015 Pew report on “Teens, Social Media & Technology” revealed that tech consumption rates of young girls surpass boys in areas of social media, while gaming rates are higher for young boys. Why, then, are there far fewer female graduates of STEM-based programs? And even fewer young women entering STEM-based careers? Marie Wolbach, a retired medical sociologist, has been working to respond to that problem for decades. ➝ 6 SEPTEMBER 22, 2017

HIGH ACHIEVERS From 10 camps in California to 12 camps nationwide—Tech Trek has sent more than 12,000 girls through its science program since 1998.
6
A member of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) since the mid ’70s, Wolbach worked to create Tech Trek—a weeklong summer science camp for young girls entering eighth grade. As a mother of seven, Wolbach first discovered the disparity between STEM-based programs for girls when she sought out science-based programs for her own children. While she had no problem finding science camps for her sons, the Palo Alto-based Wolbach was at a loss when it came to equitable learning options for her daughters. In 1998 Wolbach and AAUW of California pioneered the first Tech Trek experience—inviting 100 young women to participate in the weeklong campus experience at Stanford University. The idea for the program fell right into the mission of the AAUW, which, for more than 100 years, has worked to address social, educational, political and economic issues affecting women. Tech Trek teacher and Gilroy resident Nancy Fohner, Ph.D., says
it all began when the AAUW came out with a report (“Shortchanging Girls, Shortchanging America,” January, 1991) indicating girls lose interest in tech and science-based learning after seventh grade. “Marie’s idea was to do three things.” says Fohner “To bring the girls to a college campus; To meet other girls who are interested in math and science and form lifelong friendships; To be exposed to science a career.” Fohner says she views the campus experience as one of the most effective parts of Tech Trek. Fohner, a seventh grade science teacher at Peterson Middle School in Santa Clara with a Ph.D. from Cornell in biochemistry and nutrition says that although she has only 15 contact hours with the girls during their weeklong stay, they are plugged into many different experiences during their stay. “The rest of the time they are having classes on personal budgeting, astronomy, talks from Pixar, women chemists and women engineers.” says Fohner. “It’s a mix of lecture and
hands-on. They even have a women’s professional evening, where they talk to women about all different types of fields the girls get incredible exposure.” Fohner’s own daughter, Alison, was part of the first group to attend Tech Trek in 1998. Alison, who holds a Ph.D. in public health genetics from the University of Washington says that while she was earning her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biology at Stanford there were at least four other girls from her Tech Trek. “I hadn’t seen them in years and we still remember each other from that one week,” says Alison. Alison acknowledges she had experiences other kids may not have and says she was lucky to have parents who prioritized science and creativity. “I had a lot of exposure to that type of thing when I was a kid,” she says. Today, the program selects 80 underserved students to attend each session—girls who may not have had this experience otherwise. Each year the local AAUW
branches raise funds for the program and work with local school counselors and teachers to nominate the high-achieving participants. Three girls are chosen from Gilroy and eight are chosen from Morgan Hill. “The Wildflower run really helps Morgan Hill bring in $25,000 a year for [Tech Trek],” says Nancy Fohner. Gilroy’s branch, which is older and smaller, says Fohner, holds an annual fall membership luncheon to raise funds to send the girls to camp. “It’s all they can do to raise that $3,000—they feel very strongly about being able to support those girls,” says Fohner. Connie Rogers, Gilroy’s AAUW publicity chair, says the luncheon always helps to get new members and raise funds, but she says this year it’s special. “We always have a really good speaker at this lunch,” says Rogers. “It just happens that this year it is the woman who founded the Tech Trek program.” Director of Stanford’s Tech Trek

have passed through the program, there are some standouts, including one local Gilroy student named Rebecca. “In Gilroy we try to choose girls who would really benefit from the program,” says Fohner. “One year I recall a daughter of a migrant laborers who worked with B&T Farms in Gilroy—she ended up attending Stanford”. Longtime Tech Trek chair, Margie Enger also remembers Rebecca and says they do try to follow the young women and see where they end up—recalling that when Rebecca returned from her summer program at Stanford she said that was the school she was going to attend. “And she did go to Stanford and she graduated,” says Enger. “They also seem to have gained a sense of confidence,” says Enger. “One mother said she was so worried about her [daughter]. She was so bashful and shy and when she came back she was the liaison between the city and school for a community service project ➝ 8

for seven years and co-director for two, Wolbach supervised Tech Trek as it grew from 10 camps in California to 12 camps around the country. Wolbach has received various accolades for her tireless social work, earning the Classic Woman by Meredith Publishing Corporation in 2013 and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Medal for Public Service, part of the Jefferson Awards Foundation, in 2015. In addition to these two national awards, Wolbach will be honored in October with the annual Angel Award given by the Kiwanis Club of Palo Alto. Now, nearly 20 years later, the volunteer-driven program continues to inspire. Former attendees often find themselves participating as junior counselors, dorm mothers or camp directors. “We were hoping it would expand to more states,” says Fohner. “It’s expensive and I think Marie’s estimated she’s reached over 12,000 girls since 1998. It would be great to reach more.” Of the more than 12,000 that

CAMPUS EXPERIENCE Each summer the AAUW sends girls entering eighth grade to a weeklong science camp at a local college. and a master of ceremony a talent show at Rutger school. She says her daughter realized, ‘You met other women and you meet other girls. All of a sudden it hit me that these people are as smart as me or smarter. A lot of people feel it’s ok to be a nerd. I’m not such a nerd. There are other people like me.’” When asked why the divide continues to persist, Fohner says she’s not sure. “I just don’t know,” she says. “The girls are capable they are super in mat. Their problem solving skills are great. It’s a puzzle.” A December 2016 article in the Economist.com suggests there remain unconscious biases around careers in tech. Perhaps it’s that young women are not readily recognizing the correlation between popular apps and services they make use of and STEM-related fields. Even something as wildly interesting to young teens and preteens as design or makeup. From the chemistry involved in makeup or perfume to engineering the perfect brushes or developing the next big app—the options for STEM-based careers are endless. Doctors, scientist, engineers
and designers do interesting things to make our lives easier every day. Both Fohner and her daughter Alison are still passionate about the program and its benefits. “At this camp you get seven days of immersive exposure to the breadth of things that people are doing with scientific concepts and how much it relates to life,” says Alison. Fohner highlights certain classes like a CSI class and a biology class—two she’s particularly passionate about. “I think they come home with an interest and a love for science,” says Fohner. “And, a definite interest in going to college and they’ve been exposed to a ton of very capable women.” Young women who are interested in being nominated for Tech Trek should see their counselor or science teacher. The American Association of University Women invites branch members, guests and Tech Trek students to join the fall membership luncheon with special guest speaker Marie Wolbach on Saturday, Sept. 23 at 11:30am at the Westside Grill.

or most of us wine enthusiasts we get a thrill at the mention of a newly released wine So upon hearing about Lion Ranch Vineyards and Winery’s newly released viognier, my weekend’s top priority was making a visit to their winery. Past the lion head fountain leading to the winery’s open-air tasting pavilion, I spotted a vendor selling exotic jewelry and heard the soothing sounds of a string duet. Mike Braxton, very friendly and knowledgable, was on hand to pour the tastings that day. The newly released 2016 Estate Viognier ($25) was everything I hoped for. Made from 100 percent viognier grapes using two different grape clones, the intoxicating aromatics
reminded me of a garden of sweet peas. For a moment, I wondered if I could just skip the rest of the tasting menu; only wanting to sip and savor this wine. Noticing my glass was empty, Mike poured me the next wine on the menu, the 2014 Lion’s Share ($23). Always a proprietary blend of five varietals, this is the first year that picpoul blanc has been added; giving the wine a lip-smacking sourness. The third pour, the Lioness 2016 Rose ($24), made in the Provence style, is an outstanding first effort for the winery. A 50/50 blend of grenache and mourvedre, it is a pale, rose gold color; bursting with flavors that hit all areas of the tongue. Sip this gem alone or with any warm-weather entrée.

chard, chayote, cilantro, collards, dill, fava beans, fennel, kale, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, mustard greens, parsnips, peas, radishes, spinach, and turnips can all be planted in September as seeds. You can also add Brussels sprout plants to your garden this month.
Planting your winter garden If summer plants are still producing, there is no need to remove them before planting the next season's crops. You can simply plant around them. In fact, established plants often provide protection from temperature extremes for seeds as they germinate. Since each plant has different irrigation and feeding requirements, be sure to read seed packets for that valuable information.
Get creative! Your edible crops don’t necessarily have to be grown in tidy rows or raised beds. Add lettuces and spinach plants to a rose bed for a nice color contrast. It also helps to reduce erosion and water loss. Herbs make excellent container plants that don’t mind drying out. Peas can be grown on trellising, netting, a fence, or even up a tree trunk! There are a surprising number of ways to integrate edible plants into your landscape while keeping it attractive and water-wise.
MILD WINTERS A wide range of vegetables grow well in the local, moderate climate.
Preparing for the winter grow season By KATE RUSSELL
S
Bed preparation As summer crops wind down, cut plants off at ground level, rather than pulling them out. This leaves valuable soil microbes and nutrients where they can provide for the next season’s crop. If you have access to aged
compost or manure, top dress or dig it into the garden beds. This improves soil structure and replenishes valuable nutrients. Top dressing simply means leaving the amendment on top of the soil to be worked in by worms, irrigation, and other natural processes. This is often a better choice due to the area’s heavy clay soil. Digging in clay leaves behind a smooth surface that dries to an impenetrable barrier. And, it's work!
Plant selection There is a wide selection of plants that thrive in our mild winters. The list includes artichokes, arugula, beets, bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower,
Keep watering The September month still brings some heat, so be sure to irrigate new and established plants regularly, until the rains come. While you’re at it, your big trees could probably use a deep watering to carry them through the last of summer.

ON SENIORS
Technical revolution
AUTO-PILOT Technological advances including driverless cars and dial-a-ride are offering alternatives to getting around town.
SEPTEMBER 22, 2017
Transportation options for seniors
18
By CHERYL HUGUENOR
M
aybe it is a lack of imagination on my part, but I am still finding it hard to believe that we have driverless cars cruising around our streets and, apparently, driverless trucks may soon be joining them. I remain leery enough of these vehicles that I would probably need to sit on my hands to keep from grabbing the steering wheel. I found that I was not alone when I brought up the subject with our seniors here at Live Oak Adult Day Services. “No way would I get into
a car without a driver,” Mary states. “What if the car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Who am I going to call?” From the other side of the room someone yelled “Ghostbusters!” I do so enjoy the quick wit of our group. Carl had been a trucker and he feels that driverless trucks would be just fine, though. “They can back up with no driver error,” he says with an air of authority. Several of our seniors would be willing, even eager, to brave a car without a driver, feeling that it is an inevitable sign of progress. This topic made me think back
to Buddy, who was one of our very first participants when Live Oak Adult Day Services opened here in Gilroy in 1993. A sweetly confused retired shoemaker from Italy, Buddy arrived here each morning on Dial-a-Ride. Our staff members would take turns waiting on the corner for the Diala-Ride bus to pull over and we would escort Buddy to our front door. He was usually the only passenger on the bus, which probably explains why Dial-a-Ride has not survived in this area. Transportation options for seniors have not greatly expanded over the years, so maybe more creative solutions like driverless buses, taxis, and trucks might be helpful after all. I found out recently that the Live Oak center located in Willow Glen has a senior participant who arrives via Uber each day. His son makes all the arrangements and it is working out well. I also read about a new service called Go Go Grandparent, started by a young man who was frustrated trying to explain to his grandma how to use Uber. He cleverly came up with a ride program for seniors that does not require them to have a smartphone, special app, or even a cell phone; it works with a landline. It is personalized for seniors and seems to be popular. I am the technology-averse person a program like that is tailor-made for. As our discussion of driverless cars continued at Live Oak, I did find that more of our seniors were willing to embrace this wave of the future. I seem to be one of the spoilers. I think back to the day Claire arrived recently wearing a smartwatch. Her daughter called and they spoke through the watch, like out of an old Dick Tracy cartoon. If people who are several decades older than I am can embrace change, I cannot lag behind for long. Maybe I will be daring and try taking a photo with my phone this weekend.

RAD RIDES The 28th annual Taste of Morgan Hill brings more than 200 cars and an array of arts, crafts, music and food vendors.

Morgan Hill gears up for its annual fall event By GARY STOCKDALE
T
he streets of Morgan Hill will be rumbling this weekend with the Classic and Custom Car Show, part of The Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce’s 28th annual Taste of Morgan Hill weekend celebration. The Classic and Customs Car Show expects to draw 200 plus rides on Saturday and Sunday. Vehicles of any year or manufacture ranging from classics to late model cars and trucks will be on display. Dusty Perryman, Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce Car Show
chair, says he anticipates plenty of American classics and muscle cars as well as many late model and import vehicles. Everything from dragsters, open-wheel race cars, dune buggies and British classics will be on exhibit. According to Perryman, vehicles can range from pristine show cars, daily drivers, in progress projects or rat rods. Votes will be cast by car show participants and attendees for prizes awarded in six categories: best American, best import, best truck, best specialty vehicle, best hood ornament and the ‘vehicle you would like to take home’. First and
second place contestants will be awarded with handmade trophies. Beyond eye candy for car lovers, the Taste of Morgan Hill includes interesting attractions for all ages. The event, which usually attracts upwards of 50,000 visitors over the two days, is a fundraiser for the Morgan Hill Chamber designed to continue its programs and community outreach, says event director Sunday Minnich. The historic downtown streets will be lined with artisan craft booths, local wine and craft beers as well as food from local restaurants and gourmet food vendors. Live musical performances from two stages and a kid’s fun zone provide the action for little tikes. In her first year producing the festival, Minnich says there are some welcome changes to the event. “We’ve expanded our kids zone and added a kids stage,” says Minnich. “And, we’re doing an evening concert on Saturday night with Pacific Soul from 7-9pm.” Minnich says they’ve changed some of the layout and focused on bringing more quality arts and crafts to the festival. Artisans will be showcasing everything from mosaic fire pits and beautiful jewelry, clothing, pottery and skin care, even handmade handbags and art by photographers and painters. The South Valley Quilt Association and Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Center will also be offering shows to the public. The 28th annual Taste of Morgan Hill will be held on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 10am-7pm, with a street dance and concert from 7-9pm and Sunday, Sept. 24, from 10am-6pm. It all takes place on Monterey Road between Dunne and Main in beautiful, historic downtown Morgan Hill. Vehicle check for the Classic and Custom Car Show is from 6:159am at the Community Center at Church St. and Dunne Ave.
