Plate Tectonics (How We Got Where We Are)
By Jay Temple
Have you heard about “Pangea?” How hundreds of millions of years
ago all the major continents were crammed together into one? Well,
our speaker will explain to us how the continents have shifted into
their current location and the dynamics at work. He will also show us
how land masses move and what happens when they crash against one
another.
Jay Temple has a BS from Rice University in geology and an MS in
geology and tectonophysics from Texas A&M. During his 20 year
career he has performed geological and geophysical studies
throughout the US, as well as Canada, Mexico, Central and South
America, and has taught classes in geology, astronomy, physics &
electronics. He is currently an educational consultant for the Space
Foundation and a consulting geologist for Anglo Ashanti Gold
Company.

Branch Meeting Saturday, May 5
EDUCATING ALL
GIRLS
Once again we will be holding our annual
elections in May at the beautiful Flying Horse
Clubhouse! This will also be our last branch
meeting until next September.
We will have two dedicated and dynamic speakers for
our program: Dee Beaudette, CEO of Peak Education,
and Beth Roalstad, Executive Director of the
Women’s Resource Agency, including the InterCept
program. Both the Peak Education and InterCept
programs operate out of Harrison School District,
helping disadvantaged girls to pursue advanced
degrees, so both ladies are doing wonderful things for
a population of girls that really needs that extra hand.
Both of these speakers have had extensive business
careers before turning their efforts to helping girls
succeed.

Education and

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE: The first week of March brought the sad news of the deaths of two of our members, Mary Eiber on March 1
and Joan Sharp on March 7. We will miss them both, and our condolences go out to their families.
I received the following message from national, and want to share it with you in case you get one of these
calls: You may be hearing inquiries from members within your branch about receiving calls from AAUW. These are
legitimate calls that provide crucial fundraising for AAUW’s programmatic activities. AAUW has actually done
telemarketing for years to renew memberships. Last year we tried using it to raise funds and were able to raise enough to
provide more than 20 scholarships for college women so they could attend NCCWSL. Since AAUW members have been
responsive to telemarketing we are raising much needed funds this year for our other programs. We are also taking this
opportunity to survey members in regards to what AAUW programs interest them the most. We hope that by gathering
this data we can deliver relevant material in areas that our members are passionate about. The UCCS student affiliate group led by Dr. Aditi Mitra hosted our February 25 meeting on campus. We had a
good turn-out of members and guests to hear Meryl Runion talk about Intergenerational Communications.
Thanks to all who made that event happen. International Women’s Day at the Pioneer Museum on March 8
was another opportunity to connect with other women’s organizations. Alice Borodkin was entertaining as well
as inspiring, and the food from Blue Sage was great. Zonta honored Betty Edwards for her work to end Human
Trafficing.
April brings us lunch at Glen Eyrie on the 14th, a showing of Miss Representation on April 22, and the state
meeting on April 21. Our final program for the year (and the annual meeting) will be May 5 at Flying Horse.
Details are elsewhere in this newsletter, so I just want to encourage you ALL to attend these events!

Local History Day
On February 25 Jan Condit, Susan Bydalek, and I judged the History Day junior exhibits at Colorado College and chose two winners, based on criteria consistent with the mission statement of AAUW. This year's theme was Revolution, Reaction, and Reform (any or all of those characteristics could be displayed). From a large number of worthy exhibits, we chose two. Our choice for a group entry was WW II Army Nurse Corps by Peter Wardell and Emaleigh Mann. They depicted why women joined the war effort and how they served and contributed to victory. Two of their memorable visual techniques were the use of an historic recruitment poster and a hand-crafted camouflage cover/ceiling for their exhibit. The individual winner, Madison Sholly, assumed the persona of Mary McLeod Bethune. In 1904 Ms. Bethune started a boarding school in Daytona Beach with just five Black female students. All of the equipment was homemade as Bethune had only $1.50 in her pocket. That school is now the Bethune-Cookman University. Ms. Bethune became the first
African-American woman to head a federal agency (a division of the National Youth Agency). The two $25 cash prizes were awarded Saturday afternoon at Shove Chapel by Kathy McBride. We are grateful to the members and board of our Branch for providing the funds for this activity that gives positive community exposure for AAUW, rewards scholarship, and recognizes women's accomplishments.

Local Scholarship Committee
The several parts of the applications for our Local Scholarships have been arriving. The due date is March 31, and we have a very competent committee to judge the applications: Nedra Engleson, Char Gagne, Sandy Johannsen, and Gini Simonson. We will read the applications and grade them on Academic Excellence, Financial Need, Personal Statement, and Letter of Recommendation. As a committee, we will then discuss the candidates and choose the top six. We will interview these six women and select four to receive our $1,000.00 Local Scholarships with the remaining two to receive the runner-up $100.00 awards. I hope to be able to introduce our four Local Scholarship winners to you at our May meeting. In the February-March newsletter, I quoted from some e-mails that I had received from three previous Local Scholarship winners. Here are the comments of three more winners that also show the impact that our contributions have made on their lives:
Jennifer Guajardo, winner in 2009, wrote, “My academic life is moving along quite well. I graduated cum laude with my bachelor’s degree from UCCS in December 2011, and I am now in grad school at UCCS [but will change universities for a better fit for my future profession]. I changed my major from History, Secondary Education to Sociology partway through UCCS. I have realized that my true passion lies in helping other single mothers like myself with some kind of not-for-profit program designed to help them gain the assistance they need and ultimately obtain a secondary education. . . .Thank you for choosing me as one of your scholarship recipients. That award truly meant a great deal to me and helped me get through my first semester at UCCS [after graduating with very high grades from PPCC]. You are a wonderful organization full of amazing women. I am honored to have met you.”
Jennifer Evans, also a winner in 2009, wrote, “I graduated with a degree in Spanish Elementary Education in May 2009. I was married in June and moved to Wheat Ridge, where my husband is going to school at the Colorado School of Mines. I found a preschool teaching job in a low-income area in Lakewood and work with three-, four-, and five-year-old children. I absolutely love the children I work with! It is an honor to help them develop socially as well as
academically. Most of our families are Spanish-speaking, and I have been able to use my knowledge to communicate with parents and students. [Wherever my husband and I end up], I hope to continue positively impacting children. I would eventually like to return to school for ESL training or a master’s degree. . . .The scholarship I received from AAUW was immensely helpful. I wanted to be financially stable while completing my student teaching when I couldn’t work, and this scholarship helped me a great deal. I also did not graduate with an unreasonable amount of debt. Thanks to each of you who helped make my goals a reality.”
Michelle Glowczewski, winner in 2010, wrote, “I am planning to graduate in May! Your scholarship helped me tremendously in allowing me to be where I am today. After my freshman year I wasn’t sure whether I would be able to continue my course of studies here at UCCS because of financial need, but fortunately because of generous people like those in your organization I have received enough scholarship assistance to get me to graduation. . . .Thank you so much again for all that you have done. I am so grateful!”
Another winner, a brilliant older student and truly outstanding person, has had to quit midway through her master’s degree at UCCS and move to a lower altitude because of her husband’s health problems. Like many women, she has put her family first. She hopes to return to school as she has five years to pick up her studies where she left off. However, I know that she is still currently contributing to society with the knowledge that our scholarship helped her gain.
Please do remind any woman you know who is in her sophomore year at either UCCS or PPCC that our Local Scholarships can make a difference in her life. Application forms can be accessed at aauwcoloradosprings.org, at the scholarship websites of UCCS and PPCC, and in the Financial Aid Departments at both schools. Joann Oh, Local Scholarship Chair

Lindy Conter Receives League of Women Voters Award If an organization has the word “women” in the
title chances are that Lindy Conter will be
involved. Now she can count the League of
Women Voters among them. Conter has
received the League of Women Voters of the
Pikes Peak Region’s sixth annual Making
Democracy Work Award. Conter is involved in
many women’s organizations in the Pikes Peak
Region and was recognized for her hands-on
activism, making the community a strong and
vibrant place to live. Conter received the Award
Thursday, February 16th, at an evening
reception in Bemis Hall, Colorado College.
About 70 people were in attendance.
Conter’s community activism has brought
people together to address girls’ and women’s
issues in the community. With a focus on self-
sufficiency and education, Conter has strived for
fairness and equality.
Her collaborative efforts include: co-founder of
the Pikes Peak Women’s Coalition, organizer of
the first local Pay Equity Day event emphasizing
the need for federal legislation on equal pay for
women, and
organizing broad support for a Girls’ Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)
Program.
Conter is part of a number of additional
organizations and serves on several non-profit
boards. Some of these groups are the Colorado
Women’s Hall of Fame, Women’s Resource
Agency, and the Women’s
Foundation of Colorado.
In addition to these broader efforts, Conter tutors
individuals seeking citizenship and volunteers
for Pikes Peak Library District, teaching adults
English as a Second Language.
“Lindy Conter is a community leader, helping to
create equality regardless of gender or economic
status.
The League is pleased to recognize her
contributions toward making our community
stronger,” said Julie Ott, spokesperson for
League of Women Voters. Dee Vazquez Sabol,
2011 winner, presented the Award. She referred
to Conter’s tireless energy and
connections to “all organizations with the word
‘women’ in the title.”
Conter expressed gratitude, saying, “I would like
to thank the League of Women Voters for the
Making Democracy Work Award. The League
has been an important force in giving women an
equal standing in our community, and I feel this
award acknowledges the strong coalitions the
League has built with organizations that work to
ensure that women can reach their full potential
- from the vote through the
homes to the schools to the boardrooms and the
halls of government. I deeply appreciate your
recognizing all the efforts of the women in our
community and am grateful for this award.”
The League was pleased to co-sponsor this
award with The Colorado Springs Independent.
Nominating Committee Report
The nominating committee has been working
on formulating the slate of officers for the
2012-2013 year. We will be submitting our
recommendations to the board meeting in
March and to the Branch at the April meeting
at Glen Eyrie.

Ah,…TO BE A SCIENTIST…..
On Sat. March 10th, at the Pikes Peak Regional Science Fair, on the campus of UCCS, the Colorado Springs
branch of AAUW once again participated by rewarding young women for their efforts at the Fair. AAUW
recognized female scientists at both the senior high and middle school levels. Award winners were Shelby Pick
of North Middle School and Maislinn Helfer of Palmer High School. The winners each received a $20 gift
certificate to Barnes and Noble.
Miss Pick investigated what factors cause surfaces to unintentionally adhere to each other and how this causes
devices to not function properly. Her experiment, entitled :”Which metals can take the heat and which metals
will break under the pressure,” tested the materials strengths under heat and pressure stress. She was motivated
by this topic because she wanted to see how the top-performing materials compared to what was used in the
World Trade Center buildings which collapsed on 9/11.
In the “Environmental effects on Vibrio fischeri”” project, Miss Helfer explored the application of
bioluminescent properties of the unique bacterium to see whether V. fischeri can be used as an efficient
bioluminescent indicator for determining water quality. She tested water from the Fountain Creek watershed for
contaminants with this method. If she could get reasonable results to match more expensive testing, it would be
a more economical method for testing water quality in low socio-economic countries.
The Science Fair remains a crucial outlet for young ladies to demonstrate their science capabilities and garner
confidence and recognition. However, the number of total participants had really decreased this year. There
were only 20 total female participants (all categories) in the high school division, but this was 67% of the
participants! Only 4 of these ladies were in the physical sciences and engineering. The middle school division
was more equally divided in all classes – but still only had 3 females in the engineering category for 6th, 7
th and
8th graders.
In general, while the spectrum of original topics was not very broad, the enthusiasm for the scientific process
was still high and all the young ladies I spoke to gave interesting and informative presentations!
