BY MAURICIO SEGURA PHOTOS COURTESY OF ALAMEDA COUNTY FAIR 1912 was filled with an abundance of memorable events. The Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg, Fenway Park opened its doors as the new home of the Boston Red Sox, The Republic of China was officially established, pro hockey was born with the first Stanley Cup going to the Quebec Bulldogs, The Beverly Hills Hotel began its run as the pink castle to the stars, and Edgar Rice Burroughs published "Tarzan of the Apes." In October of 1912, the Alameda County Fair began offering fun, food, laughter, and good times to countless generations of families, getting better and better each year. “My grandmother remembers strolling through the fair in the late 1940s,” says Desirea Guardia of San Ramon. “She's come back through the years with her kids, us grandkids, and this year she'll be there with my new baby, her great grandchild. The Fair, and maybe Disneyland, are the two main things that I can say join each of our generations in a common bond. The years pass, but we have those two places tying all of our lives, regardless of age, together.” continued on page 32 INDEX It’s a date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA) Board of Directors voted on June 7, 2012, to authorize VTA's General Manager to execute a $45,040,277 contract with RGW Construction, Inc. for the Mission/Warren/Freight Railroad Relocation (MWT) Program improvements. Five bids were submitted and RGW submitted the lowest responsible bid, which came in at 29.6 percent below the Engineer’s Estimate. The MWT Program improvements in the City of Fremont include widening Mission Boulevard (State Route 262) to three lanes in each direction from Interstate-880 to Warm Springs Boulevard and constructing Kato Road on/off ramps, relocating Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) freight tracks, depressing Warren Avenue to separate it from the UPRR freight tracks and the future BART tracks and install new railroad, maintenance and BART bridges where both rail systems cross over the two roadways. Construction is anticipated to begin in July 2012 with completion by January 2015. The project, a joint effort by the City of Fremont, Alameda County Transportation Commission and VTA, will enable frequent BART service in the future, increase safety and reduce traffic congestion in the area. The MWT Program contract is funded by a combination of Federal, State, Alameda County, City of Fremont and Santa Clara County 2000 Measure A funds. VTA advertised the MWT Program contract on March 30, 2012 and accepted bids on May 4, 2012. Contractor pre-qualification was required for the contract. After an extensive bid review process, VTA staff recommended awarding the contract to RGW Construction. RGW has performed work for VTA in the past, including the State Route 152/State Route 156 and US 101/Tully Highway Interchange projects. For more information, visit www.vta.org

SUBMITTED BY IAN PEREIDA-PERRY PHOTO COURTESY OF SHANTI BALARAMAN Pavan Raj Gowda, age 12, a student at Glenmoor Elementary School in Fremont, is a winner of Action For Nature’s 2012 International Young Eco-Hero Award. Gowda was honored for educating and influencing other youth. In 2009 Gowda started Green Kids Now, Inc. He did so because he observed people mistreating the planet and wanted kids to take action. Gowda put up flyers and advertised to get the word out and so far over 1,000 kids have pledged to help the environment. He feels information sharing is extremely important and says, “We do not have to waste time reinventing the wheel.” He works with principals and with the Green Kids teams at each school to show other kids how to take action and bring them the opportunities they need to implement their ideas. Recently, Gowda planned “A Green Kids Conference” which had over 800 attendees and he is now planning another. His radio interviews are heard by over 150 classes in Australia and around the world. The subjects covered relate to climate change/global warming, reducing waste, energy use, effects on plants and forests, food choices, water, air quality—and much more. The author of two books, sold on Amazon.com, Gowda plans to reach out to more organizations for partnership and financial grants so that he can reach more youth. He hopes that the programs and services of Green Kids Now will continuously evolve to meet the needs of schools and communities. For more information, visit http://greenkidsnow.org/ Every year since 2003, Action For Nature (AFN), a U.S.-based non-profit, has recognized young people ages 8-16 who are taking important steps to solve tough environmental problems. Youth from countries around the world send in their stories and explain their work. A panel of judges including experts in environmental science, biology and education determines the year’s winners.

The Bookworm
Field Tested
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and she never goes anywhere without a book. She lives on a hill in Wisconsin with two dogs and 11,000 books.
by Emily King In a normal weeks’ time, you get many applications from many job-seekers. That’s no surprise in any economy, but what caught your eye this week was that the number has soared. Veterans are returning to the civilian workforce in waves, and they’re reaching out to you for employment. Fortunately, you might have a place for someone with military experience but making room on the payroll isn’t all you’ll need to do. In the new book “Field Tested” by Emily King, you’ll learn how to keep the best employee you may ever have. Every year, and particularly now, tens of thousands of military personnel leave their old jobs to join the ranks of civilian workers. You’d love to tap into a veteran’s discipline, that can-do attitude, and the training that comes from working for everybody’s favorite Uncle. But there are things you need to do before you post a Help Wanted ad. There are considerations on both sides of the desk, and preparation is key. First, understand that most employees don’t leave a job, they leave a manager. Managing properly for retention, therefore, is what you ultimately want. Since the average veteran goes through three jobs before acclimating to civilian workplaces, it’s to your advantage to anticipate the challenges that will come with transition. At issue is that the military is a very different kind of business than the one you have in the civilian world, and you can’t make assumptions. Your new hire may never have had to negotiate for salary or benefits. He or she may be unaccustomed to a more casual, less-regi-
mented office with unique relationships between employees. Office hours are gentler. Even the uniforms are different. So what can you do for your new hire to help with what amounts to a diversity issue and a “culture clash.” How can you keep him or her working for you? Arm yourself with an understanding of what your employee is leaving behind and how it affects thinking. Make sure he or she knows what the job entails, how departments work together, and what is expected. Don’t assume anything. Pair a new employee with an established coworker who is a veteran, too. Check in often and keep the doors of communication wide open. You’ve seen the posters and ads reminding you to hire a veteran. Does it really have to be this hard? Author Emily King has studied this subject at length and she says that it could be, but that knowledge is essential for “[A]nticipating and heading off challenges…” I liked that King, who has a passion for this subject and has “committed” herself to ensuring that veterans are prepared for civilian workplaces, gives employers lots of tools for keeping those challenges in perspective. I also appreciated the first-hand accounts from veterans who’ve made the transition. Be aware that this book is occasionally repetitive, may feel like baby-steps at times, and is nowhere near reading-lite. Still, if you’re eager to strengthen your business in a relatively easy way, “Field Tested” is a book you’ll salute. c.2012, Amacom $29.95 187 pages

Theater Review BY JESSICA NOËL FLOHR Love and a sense of belonging are universal human desires. These timeless themes are played out before us in literature and life. In The Member of the Wedding, the 1946 novel by American writer Carson McCullers, fiery tomboy Frankie Addams discovers just how difficult these desperate longings can be. McCullers adapted her novel for the stage within a few years of publication. Sixty-two years later, the play has become a hidden gem. Some have considered the story to be McCullers’ masterpiece. Set in a tiny southern town in 1945, the plot gracefully interweaves the themes of adolescence, sexuality, racism, and belonging to something larger than oneself. Frankie Addams, the central character, is a twelve-year-old girl in the liminal space that is early adolescence. The transition between childhood and adult life is an especially difficult time. In the opening of the novel, Frankie is described as a “member of nothing in the world.” Her mother died when Frankie
was born. Her father is a busy shop owner. Frankie spends much of her time with the family cook, Berenice Sadie Brown, and her six-year-old cousin, John Henry. Too old for childhood
games and too young for the local girls’ club, Frankie struggles to find her place. When her older brother and his new fiancée come into town for their wedding, Frankie falls in love with the bridal couple and plots to run away with them. Katy Hidalgo, a Hayward local making her debut with the Douglas Morrisson Theatre, is exceptional in her role as Frankie Addams. Her energy on stage ig-
nites Frankie’s passion for life. Hidalgo’s physical expression draws the audience into young Frankie’s dramatic frustration with being excluded from becoming a third wheel to the bridal couple. As a foil to Frankie, fifth grade Ruby Buckwalter plays the tenderly mocking cousin, John Henry. She is a very talented young lady. Parallel to Frankie’s exclusion is the separation Berenice is subjected to. This is post-Civil War, pre-civil rights Georgia. Racism permeates the landscape. Though Berenice is the central family figure and substitute mother, she is only viewed as the hired help. She stays in the kitchen during the wedding—a servant and not a guest. Alexandrai Bond brings wonderful warmth to this dark and humorous story. Her honeyed voice captures her listeners’ hearts when she sings, “His eye is on the sparrow.” In addition to the top notch performance from the actors, scenic designer Jenn Scheller and Lighting Designer Matthew O’Donnell have created a delight for the eyes! The scenery is deceptively simple: a cutaway of the family home and the backyard tree. A country landscape fills the backdrop and the lighting perfectly follows the timing and mood of the scenes. While sitting in a quiet theater in Hayward, one is magically transported to a peaceful
Georgia summer evening in the midst of World War II. The Douglas Morrisson Theatre (DMT) is truly a treasure. Tucked away in the Hayward hills, one would never suspect such a lovely theater hidden among the twists and turns. Keep an eye on the side street signs, as the turnoff for Ruby is easy to miss. The exterior is unassuming, but the heart of the theater is superb. The DMT is the perfect middle ground between the intimacy of smaller venues and the anonymity of larger scenes. The Member of the Wedding, playing throughout the month of June, is part of this season’s theme of “Family Portraits.” Shows remaining in the season include Doug Wright’s Grey Gardens and Arthur Miller’s All My Sons. Take a detour and come by the DMT for a memorable evening!

SUBMITTED BY BART ADDRESS
BART customers, who responded to a survey, overwhelmingly prefer the new vinyl seat covers on trains compared to the fabric seats, validating the decision to outfit 100 more train cars with the easier-to-clean material. A random sample of more than 1,200 customers found that three-quarters prefer the new seat covers and 93 percent rate them as “Excellent” or “Very Good.” When asked if BART should install more seat covers because vinyl is easier to clean, 90 percent responded favorably. More than 50 cars have the new seat covers and 100 are expected to be re-fitted by the end of July. By early 2013, 200 train cars should have the new seat covers. If customer feedback continues to be positive, an additional 100 cars will be fitted. Customers can conduct their own “tush test” by looking for a train car with the “New Seats on Board” decal near the door. Cars with the new seats include posters that give customers directions on how to provide feedback. The new seats are 100 percent American-made and are expected to last seven to 10 years compared to the threeyear life expectancy of the fabric seats. The cost of installing vinyl seats in 200 cars is about $1.9M but in addition to being a hit with customers, the new seats will help BART reduce the $600,000 annual dry cleaning cost required of the fabric seats.

rian, Brittany Ann Farr and Olivia Sara Joshua Stein. Both students gave their presentations at the graduation ceremony in the school’s gym. Valedictorian, Brittany Farr, the youngest of four Deaf siblings, attended CSD since preschool. Her
parents relocated to Fremont from New York City so their Deaf children could get their bilingual education (ASL and English) at CSD. During her high school years, Brittany served as a peer advisor leader, student body government officer, academic bowl team member, volleyball team member, math tutor for the elementary school students, yearbook editor-in-chief, actress in school plays, etc. Brittany also appreciates learning and loves learning new things that enhances her academic experience.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
BY JESSICA NOËL FLOHR Parenting is a challenging job. Mothers and fathers worry constantly about the little ones in their care. Is this the best school? Should the children play a sport? What’s the best way to parent after a divorce? These are just a few of the questions parents wrestle with every day. The old adage, “it takes a village to raise a child,” has never been more true. With the ever-changing face of modern families, parents need of a community of support to help them through the many challenges of the child-rearing years. Tanuja Bahal, executive director of the India Community Center (ICC) in Milpitas, saw such a need among ICC members. She used this inspiration to start a radio show addressing the unique situations South Asian parents struggle with in raising their children. Bahal shared the concept with writer and mother Vidya Pradhan and the show, Parent Talk, began in October 2011. “A lot of us are young parents with young kids and Tanuja thought it would be good to do a show for the Indian community,” said Pradhan. Since its inception, Parent Talk has addressed topics such as parenting children with special needs, the effects of divorce on kids, post-partum depression, nutrition, homework, discipline, and many others. Parent Talk is in its infancy but is growing steadily. Because the show tackles some hard topics, callers sometimes feel hesitant to contribute. Pradhan and Bahal feel that it is vital to bring these issues out in the open. Pradhan says, “Through the show, I’ve met very talented service providers throughout the Indian community. They do really stellar work in the community and are highlighting things that we don’t talk about.” The radio show is a natural extension of the India Community Center’s educational endeavors. The
ICC has always been host to many educational and children’s events. Yearly summer camps have been extremely popular and three students from the program’s table tennis team recently qualified for the London Summer Olympics. Later this summer, the ICC launches its Preschool Program, with a special focus on intergenerational curriculum involving the seniors active at the ICC. Parent Talk was intended as a tie-in to this new program as a means to better serve the parents in the community. Pradhan feels that it is very challenging for South Asian parents to avoid getting caught up in excessive competition, especially in the Silicon Valley. There is tremendous pressure to ensure that students are at peak performance, participate in the best extra-curricular programs, and get into the best colleges. It’s easy for difficulties to get swept under the rug. Thankfully, Parent Talk is making it easier for these issues to be addressed in the open. Pradhan says, “These things are more common than you might think. There’s no need to be embarrassed. There is support; there are solutions. Don’t be afraid to speak out.” This month Parent Talk is focusing on the transition from high school to college. The Saturday morning show will discuss a different aspect of college life and getting into college each week. Guest speakers will address eating healthy while in school, living independently, handling finances, and how students can deal with stress. Listeners can tune in from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on 1550AM, Radio Zindagi, or listen live through Radio Zindagi’s Facebook page. Shows are archived online at http://www.indiacc.org/parenttalk.

BY TIONA SMITH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ALAMEDA COUNTY LIBRARY FOUNDATION
T
he mission of the Alameda County Library is to ensure all county residents have access to basic educational resources and services—regardless of income level. To that end, we offer a wide range of programs that encourage learning and exploration at all stages of intellectual development. Importantly, these programs are free and provide educational opportunities that many low-income students could otherwise not afford. One of our most valuable and requested educational services is the library’s Homework Center Program which operates out of seven Alameda County Library branches and provides free homework support and tutoring. The end of the school day can be a distressing time for young students with homework to do and no safe place to go. For that reason, Alameda County Library established homework centers where students can safely and productively spend their afterschool hours.
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
Our centers provide students with computers, school supplies, textbooks and online educational resources. Most importantly, dedicated volunteers give individualized academic attention, including homework assistance, reading and math tutoring, English language instruction and more for those who need the help. During the 2011-2012 school
year, homework centers accommodated 15,000 student visits. To continue our Homework Center Program and other free educational services, the Alameda County Library increasingly relies on partnerships with civic-minded businesses and organiza-
tions who embrace our mission. One local partner of note is the Fremont Bank Foundation, which recently awarded the Alameda County Library Foundation a $10,000 grant to ensure our homework centers will continue during the 2012-2013 school year. The significance of this grant, and similar financial gifts, is immense because it helps maintain free educational services for children at the library. State funding for libraries and other public services continues to decline, but the need for access to basic educational resources and learning opportunities has never been greater. As a result, investments from local partners, while always important, are needed now more than ever. As Alameda County Library looks to the future, our relationship with the Fremont Bank Foundation serves as a model for the type of partnership we hope to foster with more Bay Area businesses. For 12 years, the Fremont Bank Foundation has partnered with us as a natural extension of its deep commitment to the health
Page 19
and well-being of Alameda County communities. In addition to funding a variety of specific educational programs, the bank’s Foundation has funded a community resource library at many of our main branches and supported capital campaigns to build new branch locations, including the Castro Valley Branch. By taking a holistic approach to our partnership and investing in programs, resources and infrastructure, the Fremont Bank Foundation has helped Alameda County Library expand services, putting them within reach of more residents. Local partners who support our work help ensure that income and location are not prohibitive barriers to basic educational opportunities. What’s more, they promote the prosperity of local communities now and in the future. That’s because a library is more than a building or a catalogue of books. It’s a world of exploration and growth where lives are truly changed. At Alameda County Library, we see that change every day in the faces of children who experience the wonder of discovery and the joys of learning. We are grateful for all those who give of their time, money and energy to make our work possible. Working together, we will continue to give all students of Alameda County a chance to succeed.

Valle appointed as District 2 County Supervisor SUBMITTED BY GUY ASHLEY The Alameda County Board of Supervisors appointed Richard Valle on June 11 to serve as the County Supervisor for District 2 for the next five months. Voters will go to the polls in November to elect a successor to Nadia Lockyer, who resigned as District 2 Supervisor in April. Valle, a former City Councilman for Union City, took the oath of office immediately after the Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 in favor of his appointment. Alameda County Registrar of Voters Dave Macdonald administered the oath of office.
SUBMITTED BY RENEE SNYDER The graduation ceremony for the fourth class of St. Rose Hospital’s FACES for the Future Program will take place on June 14, 2012 at the Hayward City Hall Rotunda.
FACES for the Future is an innovative youth mentoring program that was instituted at St. Rose Hospital in 2007 to motivate and prepare underrepresented high-risk youth for careers in all areas of the health profession.
“After some difficult months, today is a very good day for District 2,’’ said Nate Miley, President of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. “This Board agrees that Richard stands out as someone who will immediately bring very strong leadership to District 2 and the vibrant and very important communities that the district represents.’’ Valle said he was eager to get started in his new post. “We are going to do some great things in District 2,’’ Valle said. “And we are going to carry that faith and that effort throughout Alameda County, to do the very best we can.’’ County Administrator Susan S. Muranishi said Valle will be challenged im-
“FACES brings high school students, who live in our community, to our campus, providing them with an opportunity to work alongside our health care team,” reports St. Rose Hospital’s COO/CNO Mariellen Faria. The grant funded program through State Street, The Hayward Rotary, Oakland Raiders, California Endowment and the City of Hayward is unique in many ways but primarily through its partnership with the Eden Area Regional Occupational Program (EAROP), Hayward, which provides a pathway for students to apply for the FACES Program.
mediately as he will be asked to sign off on an Alameda County Budget for FY 2012-13 that must be finalized by July 1. A proposed budget containing a series of program reductions to close an $88.1 million budget gap has been presented to the Board of Supervisors. Valle will serve as District 2 Supervisor until the November 6 General Election, when voters will be asked to elect a candidate to serve out the existing term through 2014. District 2 includes the cities of Hayward, Newark and Union City; the northern portion of the City of Fremont; and a portion of the unincorporated community of Sunol.
“What I took from the FACES program was learning how to work with different people and cultures and how to effectively respect their values and beliefs,” said Carmen Esquivel, a Tennyson High School and FACES graduate whose GPA has increased from 2.79 to 3.25 since joining the program. All 12 FACES students have demonstrated a dramatic increase in their GPAs and each student plans to attend college next fall. “St. Rose staff and patients have inspired me to be in the medical field and follow my dream of becoming a radiology technician,” says Genesis Ortiz.
rrr
The FACES program is a two-year commitment at the end of which each graduating student receives a scholarship. Senator Ellen Corbett and Assemblymember Mary Hayashi will also recognize each of the students at the graduation ceremony. In addition to EAROP, other FACES collaborations include Cal State University East Bay, Chabot College, La Familia Counseling Service, Hayward Adult School, Alameda County Public Health and Mentoring in Medicine.

Bernanke signals no imminent steps to aid economy BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP ECONOMICS WRITER WASHINGTON (AP), – Slumping job growth has alarmed some economists who fear the U.S. economy is in trouble. Ben Bernanke doesn't appear to be one of them. The Federal Reserve chief sketched a hopeful outlook in testimony to a congressional panel Thursday and sent no signals that the Fed will take further steps soon to aid the economy. Bernanke acknowledged that Europe's debt crisis poses risks to the U.S. financial markets. He also noted that U.S. unemployment remains high at 8.2 percent. And he said the Fed is prepared to take steps to boost the U.S. economy if it weakens. But he said Fed officials still need to study the most recent economic trends, including job growth. For now, Bernanke said he foresees moderate growth this year. He said he's mindful that all that could change, if Europe's crisis quickly worsened or U.S. job growth stalled. “As always, the Federal Reserve remains prepared to take action as needed to protect the U.S. financial
system and economy in the event that financial stresses escalate,'' he told the Joint Economic Committee. The Fed could buy more bonds to try to further reduce long-term interest rates, which might encourage more borrowing and spending. Or it could extend its plan to keep short-term rates near zero beyond late 2014 until an even later date. But most economists don't expect a major announcement at the Fed's next policy meeting June 1920, despite signals this week from some other Fed members in favor of considering further action. For one thing, long-term U.S. interest rates have already touched record lows. Even if rates dropped further, analysts say they might provide little benefit for the economy. They say it's unlikely that many businesses and consumers who aren't borrowing now at super-low rates would do so if rates declined a bit more. And Bernanke could face pressure not to pursue further stimulus before the November election because such steps could be perceived as helping President Barack Obama win re-election. “The Fed stimulative effects have really run their course,”
Obama's Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, argued in a television interview last week. John Ryding and Conrad DeQuadros, economists at RDQ Economics, said there was nothing in the testimony to “tip Bernanke's hand” before the June meeting of the Fed's policy committee. “Yes, the Fed chairman said the Fed stands ready to act if Europe poses a threat to the U.S. financial system or the economy,” they wrote in a note to clients. “However, he gave no specifics.” An early rally on Wall Street faded after Bernanke signaled no immediate further steps from the Fed to help the economy. The Dow Jones industrial average had been up as much as 140 points. It closed up about 46 points, or 0.3 percent. Many analysts are worried that the U.S. economy is suffering a midyear slump just as in 2010 and 2011. They're concerned in particular about the job market. From December through February, the economy added an average 252,000 jobs a month. But since then, job growth has slowed to a lackluster 96,000 a month. In May, U.S. employers added just 69,000 jobs – the fewest in a year.
Bernanke said the Fed is still assessing the most recent employment data. Like many economists, Bernanke suggested that a warm winter might have prompted some hiring that normally would have occurred later. That could have weakened hiring temporarily in the spring. If that's true, hiring might bounce back. Still, Bernanke said some of the winter hiring might have made up for excessive job cuts during the recession. If so, and if those companies have completed such “catch-up” hiring, then stronger economic growth might be needed to boost hiring, Bernanke said. “That is the essential question we will have to look at,” he told the panel. The government said last week that the economy grew at a sluggish annual rate of 1.9 percent in the first three months of 2012. Paul Edelstein, an economist at IHS Global Insight, said he thought Bernanke didn't seem alarmed by the weak hiring in May. “His view is that it isn't a sign” Edelstein said. Bernanke's message to financial markets, Edelstein said, was, “Don't expect anything drastic from the Fed at the June meeting.”
That said, if the Fed does announce some new action at its meeting later this month, Edelstein said the most likely step would be to extend a program, known as Operation Twist, that will expire at the end of June. Under Operation Twist, the Fed sells shorter-term securities and buys longer-term bonds. As with other Fed bond purchases, the idea has been to drive down long-term rates so that mortgages, auto loans and other consumer and business loans become more attractive. The Fed's policy committee has been split between those who favor doing everything possible to strengthen the economy and reduce unemployment, and those more concerned about inflation risks. On Wednesday, Janet Yellen, the vice chairman of the Fed, Dennis Lockhart, the head of the Atlanta regional Fed Bank, and John Williams, president of the San Francisco Fed bank, all suggested that the Fed might need to do more to provide support. “It is my belief that the Fed has done all that it can do and has perhaps done too much,” said Brady, vice chairman of the committee.

BY JULIE PACE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO (AP), If you have $40,000 to spend, President Barack Obama's campaign has a deal for you. Write a big check, and you'll get you a picture with the president and a chance to swap political strategy with him – all while enjoying a gourmet meal at the lavish home of a Hollywood celebrity or Wall Street tycoon. And if you get the campaign even more money, you might just end up with a plum post as a U.S. ambassador or an invitation to an exclusive White House state dinner. Obama not your preference? No problem. Mitt Romney is offering donors perks that include everything from a private dinner with him to seats at the fall debates. Welcome to the world of high-dollar presidential campaign fundraising. Five months before the November election, both candidates are stacking their schedules with big-money fundraising events from coast to coast as they look to stockpile cash for the height of the campaign. On Wednesday, Romney was courting donors in Texas while Obama was holding four fundraisers in California that were expected to yield at least $4.6 million. Access to the most exclusive Obama events usually sets donors back a cool $40,000. That means the upper limits of campaign fundraising are reserved for a privileged few, given that the median household income in the U.S. was $49,445 in 2010, according to the Census Bureau. Some donors who paid the pricey tab for access to Obama fundraisers this year have been seated at exclusive dinners at the Los Angeles home of actor George Clooney or the New York townhouse of billionaire hedge-fund owner Marc Lasry. Next week, actress Sarah Jessica Parker will host a fundraiser with the president and Michelle Obama at her Manhattan home. The president typically kicks off the high-dollar events with a version of his
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE standard campaign speech. But the big perk for donors is the private questionand-answer session that follows. Sometimes the president grabs a microphone and fields questions from the center of the room; other times, he hops from table to table to hold small group discussions with his top fundraisers. And of course, there's a chance to take a picture with the president. While the press corps traveling with Obama usually is present for his opening remarks, the campaign kicks reporters out of the room before he starts taking questions. Republicans have hammered him for attending glitzy, celebrity-filled fundraisers while the economy is still struggling to fully rebound from recession. But the White House says wealthy donors are not the core of Obama's support. “President Obama has vast numbers of small donors who support his campaign,” spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday. “The fact that the president enjoys that kind of support speaks to what his policies are. He's out there fighting for the middle class.” The Obama campaign has held dozens of fundraising events where tickets run less than $40,000. But smaller donations come with fewer perks and far less direct engagement with the president. In San Francisco on Wednesday, a $5,000 contribution bought an opportunity to hear Obama speak at a 250person luncheon. But a $35,800 ticket gave 25 donors the chance to talk politics with the president at a private round-table event. Tickets to hear Obama speak at a 600-person gala in Los Angeles later Wednesday started at $1,250. A $2,500 ticket to the same event, also featuring comedian Ellen DeGeneres, guaranteed better seats. And a $10,000 ticket came with the chance to shake the president's hand and pose with him for a photo. Obama was to wrap up Wednesday's fundraising blitz with a private dinner for 70 people at the Beverly Hills home of “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy. Ticket price? $25,000. On the Republican side, donors can expect to spend a minimum of $2,500 per person to hear Romney speak at a reception. And those who make a $10,000 personal donation or
commit to raise $25,000 gain access to a smaller reception and a picture with the likely GOP nominee. Fork over up to $50,000 and a Romney supporter may get a private dinner with him. Romney's bundlers, who give the campaign all the money they collect from multiple donors, also are handsomely rewarded. Among the perks afforded to those who bundle at least $250,000 is access to the Republican convention, an election night event and a weekly briefing from the campaign. Bundlers who raise up to $500,000 also get access to the presidential debates in October. Among the most exclusive opportunities offered to Romney bundlers: a summer retreat in Park City, Utah, later this month. Presidential candidates can raise up to $50,800 from an individual donor as long as the money goes into a special fund that divvies up the proceeds among the candidate's campaign, his national party, state or local party committees and any other political committee. For some wealthy supporters, as well as bundlers, a seat at a fundraiser is just the start of what they're after. Big campaign contributions can often be seen as a down payment for future access to the White House or a role in the administration. Several top Obama donors from the 2008 campaign received ambassadorships, including posts in France, Spain and Switzerland. Other prominent supporters have been awarded positions on presidential advisory boards. Tens of thousands of dollars can also buy top donors invitations to swanky White House events. More than 30 bundlers made the guest list for Obama's recent state dinner for British Prime Minister David Cameron. Obama is hardly the first president to grant special status to big money donors. Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton both reserved seats at exclusive state dinners for supporters who made substantial financial contributions to their re-election campaigns. And if Romney is elected, he'll likely do the same, as well. Clinton said during his presidency that high-dollar donations bought supporters a “respectful hearing if they have some concern about the issues.'' But he said: ``Nobody buys a guaranteed result.''

hrill-seekers, the curious, sceptics and believers joined the Hayward Area Historical Society (HAHS) and the American Paranormal Research Association (APRA) on May 18 and May 19, 2012 at the Meek Mansion (Boston Road) and McConaghy House (Hesperian Boulevard) to review previous evidence of paranormal activity and participate in APRA-led investigations. Proceeds from the Voices from the Past event, supported by 41 visitors, will help maintain both historic properties. In return for access to buildings of interest, APRA charges nothing for its investigations and appearances at subsequent fundraisers hosted by local historical societies. The investigators bear all costs. Founded by Brandon Alvis to try and answer many personal questions, following the loss of a brother to cancer in 1995 and another to suicide in 2004, APRA’s ethos has not changed. “Although I’ve always believed in the paranormal, I used to satirize the investigative methods, findings and personalities of some in the field when I used to do improv comedy,” said Matt Goldman, an APRA field investigator. “I met Brandon and realized his goal is to find answers to questions we all have.” APRA staff members describe themselves as sceptics and attempt to explain away everything collected. Digital recorders detect electronic voice phenomena (EVPs) and infra-red cameras, images. Sound engineers, doctors and other experts analyze all data. The inexplicable is presented to the public with a brief explanation of how the material was collected and the location’s history. The audience decides if what they see and hear proves the existence of the paranormal. This purist approach has helped establish APRA as one of the foremost paranormal research organizations, nationwide, with an enviable catalogue of data. The May 2012 Voices from the Past event featured an episode of Haunted Discoveries, a documentary series produced by APRA, about Hanford’s Bastille, the former Kings County Jail which was built in 1897 and ceased housing inmates in 1964. Successive businesses in the building have all failed; the location is considered “cursed” because it is reportedly so haunted. Locally, there are no willing tenants. At the Bastille, Goldman was subjected to the Ganzfeld Procedure, a technique for mild sensory dep-

rivation (sight and sound) that was used in experimental psychology in the early 1930s and subsequently adapted for extra-sensory perception; real or imagined, he describes sensory changes and asserts he is not consciously attuned to such phenomena in daily life. Also, while peering over a parapet of the turreted, brick-andstone building, he felt an urge to jump; investigators detected a man’s voice egging him on, “Go ahead! Do it, boy!!” Ongoing investigations at HAHS’s historic properties over the past three years have yielded much of interest. In October 2011, in Meek Mansion’s children’s playroom, a male voice responded “Yes, I died in here” when asked “Please come as close to the red light [on the recorder] as possible.” More EVPs were collected in the same room on May 18, 2012. Fremont resident Stacey Santos asked “How are you tonight?” and a girl’s voice clearly replied “I’m great.” Another asked “How do you feel about so many people in the building?” “Fine,” said another child. The following evening was more dramatic. McConaghy House was not a happy home. One son, Archie, died in his room as a result of a farming acci-
dent. Daughter, Mary, never married and remained at home. The youngest son, John, passed away as a centenarian on July 6, 1972. In Mary’s room, someone asked if John was present. A man’s voice clearly states “Yes, look behind you.” Another asked if he knew he had died and how long ago; “Forty years,” he replied. A man’s voice says “I wish to meet the Lord” in answer to “Have you met God?” “APRA regards McConaghy House as one of the scarier properties,” stated Alvis. “One senses tension in the house, akin to entering a room containing residual anger just after an argument. This visit, however, has been different. Perhaps things are changing here? Nevertheless, this event has been very successful. “Most people are curious but fear the unknown. I’m no exception. No matter what the content of an EVP or camera footage, we must learn more and collect data,” he added, resolute in his quest to comprehend the inexplicable. “There are times when you sense a spirit is uncomfortable, such as the man’s voice reciting the Lord’s Prayer in angst on the second floor of McConaghy House. To avoid intrusion or crossing boundaries, we’ll end the EVP session and leave the building, out of respect.”
“Voices from the Past was exciting. Growing up in the area, knowing these properties, I had never considered them haunted or in a spiritual context. I didn’t expect to detect many things. Attending both nights has been amazing,” said Santos, whose boyfriend in San Leandro learned of the event from the Tri-City Voice Newspaper. “I’d certainly recommend attending to support the historic properties but the investigations were more than I expected.” Other historical societies have consulted HAHS about the organization, marketing and benefit of the Voices from the Past fundraiser. APRA visited Hayward four times before HAHS hosted its first paranormal investigations for the public in 2009. Most enquirers have yet to arrange investigations of their own historic properties. So, are the Meeks and McConaghys still in residence? Find out at the next Voices from the Past in October 2012. Contact HAHS Collections Manager Heather Farquhar at (510) 581-2516 for more details.

Math essay contest winners announced SUBMITTED BY JOYCE BLUEFORD
The Math Science Nucleus is proud to announce the winners of the Dana Raimondi Math Program Essay Contest on “Why Math is Important.” Competing this year were 450 students from Maloney, Brier, Vallejo Mills, Blacow, Durham and Cabrillo, all of Fremont Unified School District (FUSD). Each school had an assembly that provided an opportunity for the students to meet Mrs. Raimondi and receive their prizes. Every child received a math puzzle and a first place winner for each class received an electronic maze called “Hexabug.” The Dana Raimondi Math Program started in 2007 to provide lower performing schools in math with supplementary handson math lessons emphasizing the importance of math. Most people agree that math is important but unfortunately, most students do not understand why math is important in science, engineering, building, plumbing, and many other professions. These lessons provide an opportunity to find out. Dana Ogden Raimondi, a resident in Fremont, funds this program through the Math Science Nucleus, a Fremont non profit organization. The program provides five hands-on math lessons throughout the school year that follow the sixth grade curriculum. Laurey Hemenway, Education Director is in charge of the program and coordinates the lessons and materials. Lessons allow students to apply newly acquired knowledge to hands-on activities such as compiling data about San Francisco Bay mollusks, learning about geometry by constructing 3-D models, and working on a mini dinosaur fossil excavation.
Through these lessons, students learn to use math as a tool for science. Students realize very quickly how everything involves math and that math is integrated into all the other subjects they learn in school, even history. They are surprised to find out that even the subject of math has a history. “Before I thought math was just for Dana Raimondi, her two daughters and granddaughters with Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski homework and money but I was very old life that goes back to anwrong.

BY JULIE GRABOWSKI London, England, will not be the only site of Olympic struggle and triumph this summer; hopes, heart, and determination will be beating just as strong at the Special Olympics Northern California Summer Games in Davis. Special Olympics Northern California is a free, year-round program that provides athletic opportunities in 12 sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. The program offers character and confidence building through training and competition with a focus on sportsmanship, volunteerism, and acceptance of all people. The first seeds for Special Olympics were planted in the early 1960s by Eunice Kennedy Shriver when she hosted a day camp for those with intellectual disabilities at her home in Rockville, Maryland. That simple day inspired hearts and minds and grew across states, resulting in the first International Special Olympic Games in 1968 at Soldier Field in Chicago, uniting over 1,000 athletes from 26 states and neighboring Canada. Special Olympics now has chapters in every state in the country as well as in over 150 countries around the world, with over
June 15, 2012
three million participating athletes. The Northern California chapter was begun in 1995 and covers from the Oregon border to Monterey and Tulare counties. More than 15,700 athletes from 175 schools compete in 154 competitions throughout the region, with the support of 14,370 volunteers and volunteer coaches. Financial support for Special Olympics is due almost entirely to contributions from individuals, organizations, corporations, and foundations. Law enforcement has long been a supporter of Special Olympics, raising funds and public awareness with various city agencies helping out each year by taking part in the Law Enforcement Torch Run.
The Torch Run is a yearround, world-wide fundraising campaign that raises millions of dollars each year ($42 million last year alone) through a variety of activities in order to sponsor athletes and send them to regional, national, and international games. The Fremont Police Department is just one of the many doing their part, raising over $8,000 from events such as Tip-a-Cop fundraisers held at Claim Jumper’s, Chili’s, and Strizzi’s restaurants. The department is looking to hold another event at the Elephant Bar in July. Approximately 3,000 officers will be carrying the Flame of Hope when it begins its journey north throughout our local communities, bearing it to its home at the Opening Ceremonies of the Special Olympics Northern California Summer Games at the University of California, Davis. The Newark Police Department receives the Torch from Milpitas on Friday, June 15, where it sleeps over the weekend before resuming its journey on Monday, June 18. Fremont PD has about 10 runners each year, and partners with the Newark PD to “create a greater spectacle of ourselves” according to Fremont PD Captain Clarise Lew. The Torch will be carried along a four-mile course beginning at the Newark Police Department (37101 Newark Boulevard ) at 7:15 a.m., moving down Thornton Avenue into the City of Fremont, up Paseo Padre Parkway to Decoto Road, where the torch will be passed to the Union City Police Department at Alameda Creek Parking Lot.
“The Torch Run itself is really about awareness,” says Lew. “The greater spectacle we can create, the better.” She emphasizes that it is not a race, but a run, and that they try to run as slow as possible, due to the fact that the longer they are out there, the more people will see and learn about Special Olympics. Runners will be accompanied by escort vehicles and banners for Special Olympics, unable to escape notice. Aside from fundraising, part of what the Fremont PD does is interact with the athletes. Lew says they have Special Olympic athletes at their fundraising events, have them walk or run alongside officers in the Torch Run, and officers attend the athletes’ events and present them with medals. “You really get to see the fruits of your labors,” says Lew of the involvement. “It really does make a difference in people’s lives.” Union City PD will handoff to Hayward PD at the Pep Boys parking lot around 9:30 a.m., BART PD will take the Torch at the Hayward Police Department and pass to ACSO at Castro Valley BART Station at 11:15 a.m. The Torch then transfers to San Leandro PD at Chili’s parking lot, moves to BART PD at the San Leandro BART Station, and around 2:30 p.m. is handed off to Oakland PD and DA’s office at Jack London Square. The Torch continues through Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, Pinole, Hercules, Benicia, Fairfield, Vacaville, and Dixon, ending at Davis on June 21. Come out and cheer the officers on their way and support Special Olympics! The Special Olympics Northern California Summer Games will be held at U.C. Davis June 22 - 24 and admittance to all events is free. For more information, or to make a donation to the Special Olympics, contact Captain Clarise Lew at (510) 790-6989 or clew@ci.fremont.ca.us.

Fremont Police Log SUBMITTED BY DET. WILLIAM VETERAN, FREMONT PD June 8 Officer Luevano was dispatched to a report of a grand theft that just occurred at the AM/PM (Fremont/Thornton). As the victim went inside the store to pay for gas, a male suspect entered his vehicle and stole an iPhone. The suspect was described as an adult male, with a beard, and wearing a white jersey with the number 23 on it. The suspect fled in a newer Caravan-type vehicle. June 9 Officers responded to a report of a strong-armed robbery in the area of Darwin/Fremont. The 76-year-old victim was walking home from church when she was approached by female who ripped a gold chain from her neck.
A residential burglary occurred on Trinidad Terrace. Entry via sliding patio door. Loss included electronics. Neighbors saw two Black adult males leaving the residence after the alarm sounded. At 11:15 p.m., Officers were dispatched to Pickering Ave & Canyon Heights Dr in response to a vehicle rollover collision where the driver fled.

BART police enhance crisis intervention outreach program SUBMITTED BY ERA JENKINS The BART Police Department has enhanced its Crisis Intervention Outreach Program by adding a liaison between the Police Department and mental health stakeholders in the Bay Area. This step ensures those, who suffer from mental illness or disabilities, are given the attention they need when on the BART system. A licensed mental health professional was recently added to BART's Crisis Intervention Outreach Program and reports directly to BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey. BART is focused on solidifying BART Police Department's mental health community outreach efforts to ensure BART Police personnel are properly trained to assist individuals with mental health challenges and work in partnership with others in the mental health community to make sure those who have
mental illness receive the help they need. "I am pleased that a Crisis Interventiontrained professional has been added to the BART Police Department staff," Lynette Sweet, BART Board Member and Chair of the BART Police Department Police Review Committee said. "Adding this service and expertise is yet another successful step for the BART Police Department in completing the NOBLE Report recommendation which states, ‘Expanding the list of courses in the Training Plan to include more courses in the communication, verbal judo, human diversity, handling emotionally disturbed persons, community policing, etc.’ This new liaison and training will help BART in our efforts to help those who are homeless, who don't have resources or may be suffering from mental illness or disabilities."

Newark Police Log
After responding to a domestic dispute at a residence on Ash Street at 9:38 p.m., Officer Taylor arrested Joaquin Almaguer of Newark. He was transported and booked at FPD Jail.
Any person with any information concerning these incidents can contact the non-emergency line at 510-578-4237. Information can also be left anonymously on the “silent witness” hotline at 510-578-4000, extension 500.
Phosphorous may have been on hot beach rocks in CA BY ROBERT JABLON ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES (AP), Beach rocks that caused a California woman's shorts to catch fire and severely burn her legs and hands appeared to be coated with phosphorus, but it was unclear how the flammable chemical got onto the stones found near a military base, authorities said Thursday. “We have never been aware of anything like this before,” said Denise Fennessy, assistant director of Orange County's environmental health division. Field tests indicated the phosphorus was found on two rocks from San Onofre State Beach that will be submitted to a state-certified laboratory for verification, Fennessy said. A naturally occurring mineral, phosphorus is found in oxidized form in rocks, but in its pure elemental form can burn when exposed to air. Phosphorous compounds are used in everything from flares to fertilizer. Coast Guard and fire officials, however, said they never heard of local beach rocks igniting.
“I spoke directly to the paramedic on the call,” said Capt. Marc Stone of the Orange County Fire Authority. “He's worked 27 years as a paramedic and specifically on the beach areas, and it's the first time he's ever seen anything like this.” The beach where the rocks were found is near the Camp Pendleton Marine base and an offshore island used as a live firing range. A nuclear power plant is also in the vicinity. Camp Pendleton spokesman Capt. Barry Edwards said there was no evidence that military training aids were involved in the discovery, but the base will cooperate with investigators if asked. Five other rocks became crosscontaminated with the substance, possibly when the chemical reaction occurred, Fennessy said. The children of the 43-year-old woman who was injured collected the seven rocks Saturday from San Onofre State Beach near the border of Orange and San Diego counties, a popular surfing beach nicknamed Trestles for its location near a railroad bridge.
AP WIRE SERVICE PASADENA, California (AP), – A newly discovered small asteroid has harmlessly zipped close to Earth – just as scientists expected. The 16-foot (4.88-meter)-long space rock,
The children took the rocks home. Hours later, the woman, whose name was not released, scooped them up from the floor of her San Clemente home and put them in the pocket of her cargo shorts, where they either caught fire or became hot enough to set fire to her clothing, Stone said. The rocks were small and smooth. One was greenish in color and another had rusty orange streaks, Stone said. “She actually had flames coming off of her shorts,” he said. “She did a stop, drop and roll maneuver ... that was unsuccessful because of the amount of heat coming out of her pocket.” The smoke set off smoke alarms and firefighters arrived to find her husband hosing her down with a garden hose to cool off her burns. She suffered third-degree burns to her leg, and she and her husband had second-degree burns to their right hands from trying to get the rocks out of the pocket, Stone said. The woman remained hospitalized.
discovered Monday, passed by early Tuesday at a distance of 8,950 miles (14,403 kilometers) from the Earth's surface. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which tracks such flybys, said the asteroid – dubbed 2012 KT42 – was the sixth closest asteroid approach. It was the second asteroid encounter this week. On Monday, another asteroid, measuring 69 feet (21 meters) across, flew by at a distance of 32,000 miles (51,497 kilometers).

Happy 100th Alameda County Fair!
In celebration of this hundredth anniversary, the Alameda Country Fair has tons of things planned. For starters, anyone over the age of 100 gets in for free. Pucker up them lips for the 100 second kissing contest, and for those hot Pleasanton days, a new white water flume ride will drench riders from head to toe. As always, horse racing is the highlight of the fair. And for just $35 extra per person, one can view the races in the terrace featuring a daily themed buffet, no host bar, and private wagering booths. “I'm not a gambler,” says Joyce Cash, “but it’s fun to watch the races and put a little wager in from time to time. On top of that, the food is amazing, and it’s shaded, which is great for the hot afternoons.”
Concerts are also a huge draw. This year, the amphitheater will be rocked by the likes of Tower Of Power, Salt-NPepa, Rick Springfield, America, The Temptations, and many more. However, there have been some changes in the concert format; there will only be one free concert nightly at 7 p.m., and it’s a first-come, first-seated affair. Overflow seating will be available on the lawn featuring a new jumbo-tron screen. What can be said about the food? There is something for everybody. And as one would expect (or perhaps, not expect), there will be an abundance of food not served anywhere else. If it can be dipped and fried, you will find it on sale. Add the typical fries, corn dogs, funnel
cakes, cotton candy, burgers, and BBQ and some people will find it difficult to wander around the rest of the fair. Rides, rides, and more rides… for years, children and adults alike have run around to get on their favorite rides. They change from time to time, but this year there are 48 to choose from. In between rides, attendees can check out some cool shows as well. The Jest in Time Circus features physical comedy, juggling, dog tricks, dueling toilet paper blowers, flying pizzas and more. Then watch and participate when master hypnotist Tina Marie puts everyone under her spell in a powerful, memorable, and full-filled performance. Photo and craft exhibits by adults and children are always on display in the pavilion. The County's Largest Classroom is an educational experience like no other. People of all ages will learn through countless exhibits and activities in subjects like music, math, science, agriculture, physics, cooking, robotics, and livestock production just to name a handful. And speaking of livestock, the petting zoo is a must see. “There is so much to do and see at the Alameda County Fair,” says Craig Peters of Lodi. “You imagine that you'll be able to just go and spend a few hours. Ya right! I find that I've had to go at least twice each year to see all the exhibits and special attractions. It's time well spent though. My entire family loves the fair.”
Alameda Country Fair June 20 – July 8 Tuesday – Thursday: 11 a.m. - 10 p.m. Friday – Sunday: 10 a.m. - 10 p.m. Fourth of July: 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. Carnival Hours: Tuesday – Thursday: 11 a.m. - close Friday – Sunday: 11 a.m. - close Fourth of July: 11 a.m. – close Alameda County Fairgrounds 4501 Pleasanton Ave., Pleasanton (925) 426-7600 www.alamedacountyfair.com

“Snow Leopard” by Daniel Lee
June 15, 2012
BY MELISSA KOSSLER DUTTON FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS When Tamara England-Zelenski applied to the Peace Corps two years ago, at age 57, she saw the assignment as a way to give back, travel and experience a different way of life. She thought her experiences in life and as a book editor might be an asset to the organization, which sends volunteers around the globe to promote world peace and friendship. “I had considered Peace Corps when I was in my early 20s, but I felt that I had no specific skills to offer, other than speaking French. I figured they wanted specialists and I was a generalist, so I never applied,” said England-Zelenski, of Madison, Wis. “And I am still a generalist, but one with a lifetime of experience in different areas and businesses.” As it turns out, England-Zelenski was just what the Peace Corps was looking for. The organization has begun recruiting older volunteers, recognizing their experience, maturity and commitment to volunteering. Also their sheer numbers: Baby Boomers make up about 25 percent of the U.S. population, and volunteer more than any other age group. In November, the Peace Corps announced a partnership with AARP, the advocacy group for people 50 and older. It's “a natural fit,” said Kristina Edmunson, deputy communications director for the Peace Corps. “Older Americans who serve with Peace Corps come with a wealth of life experiences, creativity and professional development that can help make an instant impact in a community overseas.” The average age of Peace Corps volunteers is still much younger: 28. Seven percent are older than 50. Older Americans can serve a traditional two-year period or take
WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE
part in the Peace Corps Response program, which offers shorter assignments. The Peace Corps expanded the Response program in January to include volunteers with at least 10 years of work experience and certain language skills. Older volunteers work on the same projects as younger volunteers – including HIV/AIDS education, teaching English as a second language, agriculture, environmental awareness and more, Edmunson said. “All Peace Corps volunteers, regardless of age, go through the same health, screening and suitability process,” she said. Beth Dailey, a senior advisor for AARP, said 60 percent of the organization's 37 million members engage in volunteer activities. Like the Peace Corps, Dailey said, “Volunteering is at the core of what we do.” Over the years, members have told AARP that they like donating time to worthy causes because it lets them contribute to their communities and stay busy. “They don't want to work full-time, but they still want to stay active in that community and give back,” Dailey said. Baby Boomers are the best-educated generation to retire from the nation's workforce, so they have a lot to offer in terms of talents and knowledge, said Dr. Erwin Tan, a gerontologist and the director of the Corporation for National and Community Service's Senior Corp program, a federal agency that engages seniors and others in service opportunities. England-Zelenski has a bachelor's degree in French and worked for nearly 20 years as a children's book editor. She decided to pursue the Peace Corps after her husband died of cancer in 2009. A year ago, the Peace Corps sent her to Armenia to teach English at a branch of Yerevan State University. Her professional career has been both a help and a hindrance in a developing country, she said.
“When one has had a successful professional life, accustomed to getting things done in a relatively efficient way, trying to do that in a developing country and in another language can be very frustrating,” she said. “Moderating expectations is pretty important.” Still, the rewards outweigh the frustrations, she said. She has enjoyed sharing a home with an Armenian family, conversing with young Armenian students and learning the country's culture. “There is a real gift in being able to step into another culture in a way that I would otherwise probably not be able to do,” she said. “Gratitude is a word that has driven much of this journey. Gratitude for what I have been given made me want to be of service. And being here, hoping that I am serving these students as they seek to improve their English, I am ever more grateful for this experience.” Bonnie Lee Black, who was 51 when she joined the Peace Corps in 1996, still savors the memory of her time in Gabon, Africa. “I never put it far out of my mind,'' said Black, of Taos, N.M. “It's still very much alive.” The former caterer loved teaching nutrition classes to young mothers and hosting cooking lessons in her home. She also enjoyed the camaraderie of the Peace Corps. “I didn't feel old and they didn't make me feel old,” she said. “We were all in this together.” Black, who wrote a book about her experiences, tries to encourage others to serve. “I hope and pray other people don't let themselves be sidelined,” she said. “Don't think it's over at 50-something or 60-something. The older we are, the more we have to give back.” ––– Online: http://multimedia.peacecorps.gov/mu ltimedia/50plus/index.html
