SUBMITTED BY MUSIC AT THE MISSION

nding its season with a bang, Music at the Mission presents its E final concert, “Vienna,” on Satur- day, May 31 at the historic Old Mission San Jose Church in Fremont. Celebrating the staggering influences and far reaching musical traditions of which Austria’s iconic city Vienna has been witness to, Music at the Mission will feature Bay Area chamber musicians, violinist Karen Shinozaki, violist Chad Kaltinger, cellist Michael Graham, and pianist Aileen Chanco in a tour de force program of works by Brahms, Mozart, and Schoenberg. Starting with the 18th century through the 20th century, this program aims to draw the audience into the irre- sistible charm of Europe’s musical capi- tal. The Mozart “Piano Quartet in G Minor” is a piece that is contrapuntally complex, with imitative writing shared between all the instruments.

Board meetings can be serious business and not the most entertaining evening entertainment. But once a year, Alameda County Water District (ACWD) takes a break during its May meeting to introduce winners of the annual poster and slogan contest. “Water Guy” ACWD Public Informa- tion Supervisor Frank Jahn, who spends many hours visiting area classrooms to promote conserva- tion and appreciation of our most precious asset, puts on a suit - which, according to him, is his one and only annual appearance in such attire – to become Master of Ceremonies. In its 17th iteration, over 120 teachers, students, family and friends, representing 40 schools and 167 classrooms – grades 1-6 in public and private schools - attended the award ceremony on continued on page 16

SUBMITTED BY AVANTHI KANMATAREDDY

Fremont Art Association is announcing a unique opportunity to learn Oriental Brush Painting from accomplished artist Ming- chien Liang. The classes will be held at the FAA gallery every Thursday from June 5 to June 26 and on July 10. The class will not meet on July 3rd because of the Fourth of July weekend. Cost per class is $25. With the pliant brush and sensitive paper, this high art form calls for the union of the technique that masters the brushstrokes, the artistic sensibility, and imagination. Brush painting can be

calming and therapeutic on one hand and highly expressive, charged with emotions on the other. We will begin with building up the basic technique through “the four gentlemen” - orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and plum - to learn how to use the brush and create values from ink and water. Then various ad- vanced techniques, subjects and styles will be introduced. Ms. Liang is an artist of representational style in Chinese and Western medium. She is also an art historian with an M.A. in art history from the University of Massachusetts and special- ized in Chinese art. Liang’s more than twenty years of teaching experience includes instructing Oriental Brush Painting at Worcester Art Museum and teaching East Asian Art History at Wheelock College and the College of the Holy Cross. Cur- rently she works and teaches art in Ichen Art Academy and in her own studio in Fremont.

“As nurse navigators, we help guide patients through their cancer treatments from diagnosis through follow-up care,” Kellen explains. “Es- sentially, we act as advocates for our patients.

A BART station agent is being hailed as a hero by the mother of a young man with autism who became separated from a group taking BART on an outing with a day program for people with disabilities. John Buitrago was on duty as a station agent at the Pittsburg/Bay Point Station on May 7 when a dispatch came from BART Police saying that the 24-year-old man with autism did not get off the train at Walnut Creek with the rest of his group, and asking agents to be on the lookout for him. The mother, Stephanie Jacob of Pleasant Hill, said she was worried sick about her son, Ben, who is developmentally disabled and autistic. “I was afraid I might never see him again,” she said. “He is very unobtrusive and non-verbal.

continued from page 1 Students recognized by water district for posters and slogans

May 15, 2014. More than 1,770 students submitted en- tries. Thirty-nine students from schools in Fremont, Newark and Union City were honored for their creativity, producing posters and slogans reminding residents of the importance of using water wisely. Winning entries appear in ACWD’s 2014-2015 Water Conservation Calendar. ACWD Board of Directors President Paul Sethy spoke of the historic occasion of the meeting. He said the first ACWD board meeting was held 100 years ago on May 11, 1914 and gave a brief history of the district as a water conservation effort by citizens to preserve and protect this precious resource for current and future generations. The Grand Prize winner is Mary Zhu, Grade 6, of Warm Springs Elementary School whose poster appears on the cover of the ACWD Water Conservation Calendar. Receiving her certificate and prize with teacher Mr. Michael Bass, she was reminded by Mr. Sethy that she might want to coach her teacher about how the prize money could be used… maybe a party for her class? Teachers of winning poster and slogan contestants are congratulated by ACWD Public Information Supervisor Frank Jahn For more information about Alameda County Water District and winning entries, visit: www.acwd.org Shreya Nandyala * 4th Grade * Chadbourne Elementary Water can make you slip and fall, but save it because it’s Grand Prize Winner School shared by all.

nna Poklewski Academy of Music announces a master class and concert by famed violinist and pianist Dr. Ayke Agus. A The master class, entitled “A Musical Collaboration,” will focus on violin and accompaniment for violin. The class is open to the public and will be held on Saturday, May 31 at 1 p.m. at the Academy of Music in Fremont. Admission to observe the master class is $15. The following day, a concert will be held on Sunday, June 1 at 7:30 p.m. at historic Mission San Jose in Fremont with proceeds benefiting Old Mission San Jose. Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. Dr. Agus is perhaps best known for her collaboration with violin legend Jascha Heifetz. As Heiftetz’s former violin student and his last piano accompanist, Dr. Agus offered numerous performances with Heifetz as well as with acclaimed Russian cellist Gregor Piatigorsky. She also helped to complete Heiftetz’s transcriptions of classical works for violin and piano. Dr. Agus is a member of the Pasadena Symphony and California Philharmonic. She teaches violin at Antelope Valley College and is a past faculty member at her alma mater, the University of Southern California. Her memoir Heifetz As I Knew Him, now in its fifth print- ing, was published in February 2001 (Amadeus Press) in conjunction with Heifetz’s Centenary Birthday Celebration. The 2011 documen- tary God’s Fiddler: Jascha Heifetz was based on her book. Appearing in concert with Dr. Agus is hornist Loren Tayerle, direc- tor of Orchestral Studies at De Anza College. Mr. Tayerle leads an ac- tive career as both a period instrument specialist and modern hornist. He has performed with numerous period groups including Philharmo- nia and Portland Baroque Orchestras, Houston’s Mercury: the Orches- tra Redefined, and American Bach Soloists, and he was a member of the Carmel Bach Festival Orchestra for 27 years. As a modern hornist Mr. Tayerle is a member of the Berkeley and Marin Symphonies and has performed with the San Francisco Symphony, San Francisco Opera and San Francisco Ballet Orchestras.

Myrna Wacknov will be presenting a 4-day workshop at the Fremont Art Association Gallery May 30 through June 2. This workshop is for those artists who are looking for a shift in their work from copying a photograph to interpreting an image in new and exciting ways. We will be working with our own faces but the ideas and techniques learned can be applied to any subject. Taking advantage of the amazing power of elec- tronic devices, we will take a self- portrait using an iPad or iPhone or equivalent device, learn how to SUBMITTED BY DIANE LEYS use the Photoshop app PS Touch to manipulate PHOTO BY JUREK ZARZYCKI the image in creative ways, and then transform some of those ideas into paintings.

Todd Elkin, art teacher, describes Danny as a student who strives hard to meet the criteria for a project, pushing the work further, and adding el- ements above and beyond the stated requirements. “This type of self-driven dedication bodes well for him as he develops his artis- tic practice.” Since 2010 Danny has volunteered as an assistant to the archery coach at Centerville Jr. High’s after school program. He has also volunteered at the San Jose Salvation Army. Upon graduation Danny hopes to work in the S.F. Bay Area’s Video Game Industry, or as a Professor of Art at the college level. Two Honorable Mention Awards for $1,000 each were also pre- sented. Jessica Zhang from Mission San Jose High School (MSJHS), plans to attend California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, CA. Plan- ning for a career in the arts, Jessica plans to focus on Animation at Cal Arts. Jessica’s volunteer activities include her participation in Relay for Life, designing and painting sets for MSJ theatre produc- tions, painting murals at MSJH, and volunteering at the Azevada El- ementary Reading Clinic for second graders. Jessica sings in the MSJHS Choir and has performed in Chinese Folk Opera. She plays piano, and likes to read. Edie Christensen, Jessica’s MSJHS art teacher states “Jessica is a highly motivated and talented individual. She often challenged herself by thinking outside the box and express- ing her own vision.” Shannon Lin, the second Honorable Mention Award winner of $1,000, is an Irvington High School graduating senior. Shan- non plans to attend Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg, Penn. where she plans to major in Business Administration with a specialization in Marketing or Graphic Media Management, with a minor in art or design. Shannon’s volunteer activities include counseling at summer camp, teaching English at a camp in Tai- wan, and after school tutoring at Weibel Elementary School. With an interest in psychology and the way in which people think, Shannon’s art work for this competition reflected the per- sonification of mental disorders. Shannon hopes for a career as an editor of a magazine in one of her areas of interest. In addition to the student scholarship awards, a $500 stipend for classroom art supplies has been awarded to the art teacher of the first place winner, Todd Elkin, from Washington High School.
