S USAN AYERS WALKER OF ATHERTON unabashedly calls herself “The Gadget Queen.” And given her decades-long career in leadingedge technology, it seems only right that she would stay on the lookout for the latest hightech tools to create an efficient environment in which to live, work and play. Over the last several years, the same curiosity, determination and innovative spirit that fueled her successful career also has led her to issue a challenge to Silicon Valley: Grow up. She has — and she’s done so in the company of some 78 million of her fellow baby boomers, who now range in age from 42 to 60. But though baby boomers remain the population’s largest demographic, Silicon Valley is still designing its gadgets and working tools for 12- to 26year-olds, Ms. Walker says. “And that doesn’t help me with my cell phone — I can’t see the damn buttons.” Ms. Walker has done more that just challenge the Valley, where she logged in countless working hours in years past. To encourage and support high-tech companies’ efforts to develop products designed to help the aging remain active See SILVER AND BOLD, page 31 October 11, 2006 ■ The Almanac ■ 29 Private & Secluded Setting!

Through the company, Ms. Walker and her business partner, Mike Sarfatti, have worked to match up high-tech companies with venture capitalists for product research and development, helped the researchers put trials together to test the products, and helped educate consumers about what’s available to help them or their aging family members. At SmartSilvers’ Web site, smartsilvers.com, you can find tools and devices ranging from a talking prescription pill bottle that tells its owner what’s inside and when to take the medication, to “bionic” gloves to help people with arthritic hands continue to do things such as gardening or everyday tasks. There are home health monitoring systems, a device that allows the user to send and receive e-mails without a computer, cell phones for the hardof-hearing or equipped with a diabetes-monitoring system, a voice-responsive remote control for your television, and programs to improve mental agility. Some of the products cater to people on the younger end of the “50-plus” population that Ms. Walker supports through SmartSilvers. There’s a heartrate monitor that slips into a sports bra, and “high-tech clothing” that lessens the impact of women’s hot flashes — a label called “Hot Mamas’ Pajamas.” “We go out and find products, then educate people on (their) availability,” Ms. Walker says. “We hope to stimulate people to say, ‘Maybe I can take care of myself if only I can remember to take my medication,’ or use some of the other assistive gadgets and devices that are out there.” Heading the parade Born in 1946, Ms. Walker is at the head of the parade of baby boomers marching toward their 60s. She naturally considers herself a likely consumer of some of the products she supports and promotes, but her interest in her chosen work developed years ago. “I had to intervene in my parents’ lives (because of their failing health) fairly early on — they were in their 60s,” she explains. The experience opened her eyes to the realities and uncertainties of aging long before many people have to consider them. “I realized at a fairly early age: That’s going to be me somewhere down the road.” As time went on, she found her- self being tapped into as a resource for friends who had to intervene with their own parents as their health declined to the point they couldn’t remain independent. These experiences led her to her present role as an educator and an advocate for innovative solutions to problems traditionally encountered by the aging body. In addition to her work with SmartSilvers Alliance, Ms. Walker also writes for the AARP magazine as a freelancer. In a recent column for the magazine — one that appeared in similar form in the Almanac earlier this year — Ms. Walker wrote of the baby boomer generation: “... (G)iven a choice, we would prefer to stay out of managed care as long as possible and will look seriously at technology to help us maintain that independence, our health, mobility and quality of life.” She says the insurance industry needs to wake up to the benefits of emerging high-tech products that let people take a more active role in monitoring conditions and their overall health. She wants insurance companies to offer coupons for discounts on such products and lower rates for people using them. SmartSilvers, she says, is a champion pushing such policies in addition to supporting development of technologies to benefit the aging population. “Nothing ever happens without a champion,” she says.

For the future... Father and daughter, Tetsu Ishihara and Tomiko Ishihara of Menlo Park, both play cello for the Peninsula Symphony.

Her father, Tetsu Ishihara, advises Japanese businesses on how to bring products into the United States. But when the workday ends, the two are swept into another world altogether, the center of which is the musical instrument they are both devoted to: the cello. The Menlo Park father and daughter have spent considerable time in recent weeks preparing for the Oct. 13-14 concerts to be performed by the orchestra they hold chairs in, the Peninsula Symphony. The two share “a common understanding of music from playing the same instrument,” says Mr. Ishihara, a native of Japan. “Playing music helps people get together very closely,” he says. “Music is joy beyond the Nursery, Kindergarten and 1st Grade Open House Saturday, Nov. 4, 10:00 - 11:30am.

Tetsu’s wife, Mayumi Ishihara, is an accomplished pianist who introduced her daughter to music as soon as she could walk and talk. “I was 2 or 3 years old when I learned piano in Japan,” Tomoko Ishihara says. “When I was 10, I was exposed to the school orchestra and picked cello as my instrument.” She had considered violin, but “I liked playing cello,” she adds. “I wanted to be as good as, or better than, my father. I wanted to be unique.” Her mother helped for years by accompanying her on the piano. Ms. Ishihara also had several cello teachers, two in Japan. The first, she says, had a traditional European style; the sounds were rigid and difficult to play. She preferred her second teacher, who was “a lot more musical, lyrical, passionate.” It was Carol Reiss of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music who taught her basic technique and to whom she would return for lessons if she had the time, she says. See CELLO, next page A R T S C E N E Performance: ‘Viva L’Italia’ The Peninsula Symphony opens its 58th season with “Viva L’Italia” at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center on Oct. 13 and at the Flint Center at DeAnza College in Cupertino on Oct. 14. The concert, directed by Mitchell Sardou Klein and assistant conductor Geoffrey Gallegos, features guest artists soprano Sandra Rubalcava and baritone Daniel Narducci CELLO continued from previous page Now, she says: “Relaxation is a big part of why I do it. I also socialize with people from the symphony.” She is interested, she explains, in the different perspectives fellow musicians gain from playing their various instruments. At NASA Ames, she uses nanotechnology to try to recreate conditions the Mars rovers transmit to earth. “Mars is a hot topic,” she says. “All the elements for life are there.” Mr. Ishihara got his start with the cello in his high school orchestra in Japan. The visual element of music attracts him, he says, adding that the first concerto he played “was like falling leaves in autumn.” Both musicians cite a range of composers and cellists they admire and who have inspired them. Most exciting to them, Ms. Ishihara says, is the musical expression of cellist Yo-Yo Ma — from his interpretation of classical music to his “Silk Road” and “Soul of the Tango” recordings. “I’d like to do tango,” she says. “It’s a passionate way of playing.” Mr. Ishihara likes “Silk Road” for its “Oriental flavor.” He says he was excited to see the acclaimed cellist when he performed in San Francisco. “He’s not so heavy, but gives a strong impression to the audience. He’s Arts festival on Santa Cruz The 10th annual Fine Arts Festival returns to downtown Menlo Park Oct. 20-22 along Santa Cruz Avenue. The free event, sponsored by the Menlo Park Chamber of Commerce, will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

When father and daughter practice at home, they play “in different rooms, at different times. There are no great pieces for two cellos,” Mr. Ishihara says. So the only time they play together is in the symphony orchestra. Five years ago, the Ishihara family started, along with a neighbor who is a violinist, a group called the Dunsmuir Trio, named after the street on which they live. Mayumi Ishihara plays piano, and her husband and daughter trade off playing cello. Two or three times a year, they give concerts in their home to groups of about 20 people. “Live music is very different from recorded music,” Mr. Ishihara says. When playing with other musicians “new ideas emerge.” Mr. Ishihara first played in the Peninsula Symphony when he came to the area on business in 1989. But business took him back to Japan in the early 1990s. Since 1996, he has played with the orchestra consistently. His daughter signed on in 2000 while she was home for summer vacation from Reed College in Portland. Ms. Ishihara says she’s excited about the upcoming symphony concerts. “They will open with an Italian theme. It’s a great way to begin the season.” A Sacred Heart stages Neil Simon play Drama students at Sacred Heart Preparatory will stage Neil Simon’s “Fools” on two weekends, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 13, 14, 20 and 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the Campbell Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Sacred Heart Schools in Atherton. The comic fable is based on a traditional Ukrainian folk tale, “The Village of Idiots.” The play revolves around Leon Tolchinsky, who after landing a terrific job as a teacher in an idyllic Russian hamlet, arrives to learn of a 200-year old curse that makes every man, woman and animal born stupid. He also learns that he has just 24 hours to break the curse or he will become stupid as well. Why does he stay? He falls in love. Can he break the curse and get the girl? Find out. Drama teacher John Loschmann directs “Fools” with a cast of his students who include Dan Bathgate, Jen Bernard, Manuel Garcia, Maria Gibbs, Alisa Healy, Robbie LaRue, Casey Larwood, Kevin McFarland, Brianna Pogue and Jack Treseler. Sacred Heart Prep is the high school and one of three independent Roman Catholic schools located on the Sacred Sacred Heart photo/John Loschmann Senior Kevin McFarland portrays Leon Tolchinsky, the Russian teacher who falls head-over-heels in love with Sophia Zubritsky, played by Casey Larwood, in Sacred Heart Prep’s production of Neil Simon’s “Fools.” Heart Schools campus at 150 Valparaiso Ave. in Atherton.
