Internationally Acclaimed Pianist Performs at Ohlone College

Fremont, CA—With a distinguished career as a concert pianist and recording artist in both classical and jazz traditions, Paul Posnak brings his internationally recognized improvisations and incisive rhythms to the Smith Center at Ohlone College. Posnak is noted for playing repertoire that mixes twentieth century American music with European romantic classics. He is also well known for his creative improvisations and note-for-note transcriptions of the great American jazz pianist-composers of the 1920s and 1930s. The Washington Post describes his performance as playing “with respect, and passion, readings that are as notable for their musicality and their artistic integrity as for his pianism.”

A child prodigy, Paul Posnak’s concert pianist career began at the age of eight with a scholarship from Julliard Preparatory School of Music. He later earned his doctoral degree from Julliard and won the Loeb Prize, Julliard’s highest award. He gained national recognition for his performances in multiple venues, including the White House and Supreme Court. Posnak has worked with many world-renowned vocalists, including Luciano Pavarotti and performed with many of the world’s leading orchestras and chamber ensembles. In addition, he is also a professor of keyboard performance and director of the accompanying chamber music program at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music.

Paul Posnak is no ordinary concert pianist. He is a musical delight and adds a creative twist to familiar piano compositions! Tickets are available online or at the box office. Please visit www.smithcenter.com, or call the Smith Center Box Office at (510) 659-6031 for more information.

Ohlone College Trustees Select Redistricting Plan at Board Meeting

Fremont, CA—Ohlone College Trustees voted to change the way voters will elect trustees to positions on the Board at last night’s board meeting. The changes will begin to take effect as early as the next Board election in November 2012.

Under the current election plan, seven trustees represent two areas. Five trustees come from the City of Fremont and a small portion of Union City (comprised of nine voter precincts in the southern end of Union City.) Two trustees are elected from the City of Newark. However, based on new data from the 2010 Census, redistricting is required to give more equal representation to voters based on current population.

In the plan selected at last night’s Board meeting, the District will be divided into two areas, which are divided East/West by 880. Residents of Area 1, which includes all of the City of Newark and the western portion of Fremont and Union City, can elect two candidates to the Board of Trustees. Residents of Area 2, which includes the remainder of Fremont and Union City that lie east of 880 can elect five trustees. Candidates must reside in the area from which they run, however, voters from both areas may vote for all candidates running, regardless of the area in which they live.

Ohlone College Appoints New Trustee

Fremont, CA—The Ohlone College Board of Trustees appointed a new member to fill an empty spot vacated by the retirement of former trustee Nick Nardolillo on October 30. The new Trustee is Ann Crosbie, a resident of Fremont since 1996, who is very involved with education and volunteer organizations in the community. She has served as a board member for the Fremont Education Foundation, Music for Minors II, and StarStruck Theatre, and as the Education Committee Chair for the League of Women Voters, Fremont, Newark and Union City.

Ann describes herself as the daughter of educators and an education advocate, locally and at the state level, having donated her time on several local education committees in Fremont. She is the parent of four school age children, including one who has just completed a semester at Ohlone. Ann is currently working on her teaching credential in secondary education and her Masters degree in teaching. She works part time as a substitute teacher in the Fremont schools.

The Board advertised for applicants to the position and received 14 applications. Three of the applicants dropped out, so eleven candidates were interviewed at the meeting. After three rounds of balloting, Ann emerged as the choice for the new interim Trustee. She will hold this position until the elections in November 2012 where the position will be opened to the voters to decide.

Ms. Crosbie joins the seven member Board of Trustees of the Ohlone Community College District. The Board meets on the second Wednesday of the month with additional workshops as needed. The yearly calendar, agendas, and archived minutes of the meetings are available on the Board’s web page at www.ohlone.edu/board.

Ohlone's STEM Awareness Day Builds Education in the Sciences

Fremont, CA - Hoping to spark greater interest in the sciences, especially among high school students from underrepresented populations, Ohlone College hosts the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Awareness Day at the Ohlone College Newark Campus. Each year a different high school is selected to participate in the annual event. This year 50 students from Newark Memorial High School students will attend. Students are placed into teams of twelve, and participate in a variety of hands-on activity sessions in the fields of Chemistry, Engineering, Biotechnology and Information Technology. Students receive a certificate of attendance and compete to win prizes and get to take their projects home with them. The goal of STEM Awareness day is to inspire the students to explore Ohlone College's STEM Pathway Program.

The STEM College Prep Curricular Pathway program at Ohlone College prepares both middle school and high school students for entry into one of the STEM pre-baccalaureate degree programs offered at Ohlone College. The program gives students the opportunity to take courses in high school while receiving college credits, many of which will transfer for credit at both California State University and the University of California systems.

Students generally begin the STEM prep program in their sophomore year of high school, taking science classes such as Biotechnology, Biochemistry and a class that prepares them for successful studying for college courses. The students enrolled in the STEM program receive supplemental instruction from teacher aides, take tours of industry companies, and are offered mentorship opportunities with professionals in the biotechnology field. Once students graduate from high school they are better prepared to enter a college level degree program in the sciences. They may choose to continue their studies at Ohlone College for one additional year and earn a Certificate in Biotechnology. From there they can enter the workforce, or to continue their studies earning higher-level degrees.

Ohlone College Presents a Seventeenth-Century Classic Comedy with a Modern Twist

Fremont, CA—The original Servant of Two Masters, a 250-year old Commedia dell’Arte farce, features Truffaldino, the wily servant around whom all the comic madness explodes. Oded Gross and Tracy Young’s modern twist gives a timely and youthful edginess to Servant that looks like it was ripped from today’s headlines. Ohlone College’s Theatre Department presents three weekends of Servant of Two Masters, beginning November 4.

Goldoni’s original story depicts a hapless servant who, broke and hungry, finds himself in the service of two masters, penetrating the love lives and official affairs of two households, dodging one while narrowly averting disaster with another, and managing to outwit them all.

Gross and Young’s adaptation places the Goldoni farce within a second story, that of a down-on-its-luck theatre department, struggling with budget cuts and rolling blackouts, (broke and hungry!), struggling to tell the comic tale of Truffaldino despite all the challenges. They don’t quite “Occupy Ohlone” to make their point, but the characters will dazzle the audience with the struggles of living by their wits as their wallets fail, keeping their humor and humanity about them.

For tickets and information, please visit the Smith Center website at: http://www.smithcenter.com, email the Box Office at: boxoffice@ohlone.edu or call (510) 659-6031.

Learn to Recognize the Weapons of Fraud with Noted Psychologist Dr. Anthony Pratkanis

Fremont, CA—Discover the secret influential tactics of con artists, quacks, psychics, and the power of phantom dreams. Based on his extensive research on the social-psychological drives used by con artists, Dr. Anthony Pratkanis discusses the psychology of influence and how to protect ourselves from fraud. His lecture includes commonly used tactics, the reason people fall prey to them, and how we can learn to recognize “flimflam” to protect ourselves from weapons of fraud used as means of persuasion. An expert on marketing and consumer behavior, Dr. Pratkanis says “Propaganda works best when we are half mindless, simplistic thinkers trying to rationalize our behavior and beliefs to ourselves and others”.

Dr. Anthony Pratkanis earned his Ph. D. from the renowned social psychology program at Ohio State University and is a popular Professor of Psychology at University of California Santa Cruz. He is the founding editor of the scientific journal Social Influence and co-author of Age of Propaganda: The Everyday Use and Abuse of Persuasion and Weapons of Fraud: A Source Book for Fraud Fighters. He currently works with AARP and civic groups and has recently testified in front of the US Senate on preventing economic fraud crimes as well as countering propaganda of terrorists and dictators. He has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, NBC, in the New York Times and many other media outlets. His research was recently featured on (and censored by) the Discovery Channel.

World Renowned Spanish Brass will Entertain with Dynamic Range

Fremont, CA—One of the most lively and innovative musical projects on the international scene, Spanish Brass, world renowned for their unsurpassed performances and eclectic repertoire, is sure to entertain audiences this October at the Smith Center at Ohlone College. The quintet caters to all musical tastes, performing a wide-ranging program from J.S. Bach through Dixeland, including original music composed for the ensemble.

Spanish Brass consists of Carlos Grau (trumpet), Manuel Ortega (horn), Juanjo Salvador (trumpet), Sergio QuirÓs (tuba), and Indalecio Manrique (trombone), who together have developed a unique sound and creative collaborations. The band formed in 1989 and by 1996 they won the First Prize in the “Ville de Narbonne” (France) International Competition for Brass Quintets; the world’s most prestigious event of its type. Since then, they have traveled worldwide.

The ensemble is also known by the name “Spanish Brass Luur Metalls.” “Luur” is a Bronze Age ancestor of modern brass instruments, and “Metalls” translates to “brass” in the Valencian language of their home region in Spain. Spanish Brass has recorded multiple CDs, with their latest, The Best of Spanish Brass, released in March 2009.

Noted brass musician Philip Jones says, “To listen to a performance of Spanish Brass…is to experience a blend of Latin temperament, brilliant technique and outstanding musicality.”

Don’t miss this great performance at the Smith Center at Ohlone College. Tickets are available online or at the box office. Please visit www.smithcenter.com, or call the Smith Center Box Office at (510) 659-6031 for more information.
