Computer scientists returns to Armenia to create learning center http://armenianow.com/2003/january10/features/givingback/001.jpg Like thousands of others, Anush Najaryan left Armenia in hopes of making her life better in America. But unlike so many, Anush returned in hopes of making life better for those who may not have her opportunity. After study at the University of Missouri and University of Illinois in the United States, Anush established SpiTux School, a center where children learn computer skills. Upon graduating Yeveran State University, Anush won a Muskie Fellowship and took a year's post-graduate study in economics. She returned to Armenia in 1995 and returned, too, to work in a summer camp held each year in Spitak, organized by the Armenian Student Brigade, which Anush had helped run two previous years. In that same year she was accepted for study at the University of Illinois, one of the top institutions in the States in the field of Computer Science. Anush got a Master's degree in computer science and followed it with a PhD in mathemetics, giving lectures at the university to earn money for the doctoral program. It was there, too, she met and married Steve Shepherd. Upon completion of her PhD, Anush worked at Stratus Technologies computer company in Boston. The job provided a good living, which allowed her to fulfill her wish of helping the youth of Spitak. Last summer she quit her job, bought seven computers, network equipment, a laser printer a digital camera and other media equipment and moved back to Armenia to open the training center, in the heart of the earthquake zone. Shogher Amirkhanyan gave Anush space in the Shogher Children and Youth Center and gave Anush a place to live in her home and now the two-room laboratory is teaching children (and some adults) computer skills including website design, programming, animation and computer graphics. The center also publishes a children's newspaper. The 30-year old professional is modest about her ambitous and bold move. http://armenianow.com/2003/january10/features/givingback/002.jpg "I decided to create an amazing working place for myself, not grabbing someone else's work," she says. "There was no such a person who would like to be engaged with a work exactly like this." Anush also gives free lectures to the magistrates at Yerevan State University, in the Applied Mathematics faculty. "There already are lecturers at the university and they lecture well," she says. "But they are people who support family. At this moment I could afford not to work somewhere where there is salary." On November 29 SpiTux School (http://SpiTux.home.att.net) held its official opening, after having been in session since October 1. Pupils, their parents, lecturers from Yerevan's higher educational institutions, leaders of public organizations and Lori region's governor Henrik Kochinyan expressed their gratitude towards Anush. The department head of YSU Semyon Nigiyan said: "It seemed to us that benefactors should be very rich. But it turns out that it is enough to have a rich soul."

http://armenianow.com/2003/january10/news/politics/001.jpg A court in Yerevan dealt on Thursday another blow to Raffi Hovannisian's hopes to stand in the upcoming presidential elections when it effectively refused to certify that the U.S.-born former foreign minister has been an Armenian citizen for the last ten years. The widely anticipated verdict came in response to Hovannisian's appeal against the presidential administration's refusal to backdate his citizenship to 1991, when he first applied for it. The presiding judge, Saro Aramian, rejected Hovannisian's arguments that his repeated applications were unlawfully turned down by the current and former authorities until 2001 when he finally received an Armenian passport. He announced the decision after a long speech by Artashes Kakosian, a lawyer representing President Robert Kocharian. Kakosian claimed that there are no official documents in the state archives proving that Hovannisian applied for Armenian citizenship in 1991. He said the first such application was properly filed only in 1997. The ex-minister, who would be a major candidate in the February 19 elections, deplored the court ruling, saying that he will appeal it at a higher court. The latter is unlikely to overturn it, however. Under Armenian law, ten-year citizenship and residency in Armenia is a key requirement for the registration of presidential candidates by the Central Election Commission. Hovannisian's failure to secure an appropriate official document would almost certainly result in his exit from the presidential race. In that case, he will likely endorse another major opposition contender. Hovannisian maintains particularly close ties with two of them, People's Party (HZhK) leader Stepan Demirchian and Hanrapetutyun party leader Aram Sarkisian. His election disqualification would also lead the opposition to raise more questions about President Robert Kocharian's eligibility to contest the ballot. Kocharian, a former president of the unrecognized Nagorno-Artsax Republic, moved to Armenia in 1997 after being appointed Armenian prime minister. Immigration authorities have nonetheless certified that he has permanently lived in Armenia in the last 10 years. Copyright ArmeniaNow 2002-2003. All rights reserved.

Turning Milk into Gold By Rebecca Piro Bob Colombosian goes by more than one name. "Colombosian or Colombo - whatever," he says. "It depends who I'm talking to." Those who know the Argilla Road resident know that the name Colombo is not just a nickname or a whim. It represents the whole history behind Colombo Yogurt, a major yogurt distributor in New England. And it all began here in Andover, as is revealed in Colombo's latest advertising kick - a TV commercial starring Bob Colombosian. http://www.andovertownsman.com/news/20010816/FP_001a.jpg Bob Colombosian and his wife, Alice, have seen Bob's family yogurt company, Colombo, grow by leaps and bounds. Colombo's latest commercial, starring Bob Colombosian, features an "Entering Andover" street sign and has the town talking. The couple still live in town, and Colombosian's Andover contemporaries remember visiting his family's farm and trying the yogurt before it was ever sold in stores. Photo by Tim Jean "It started on a kitchen stove. There was a farm, a barn, a couple of cows," says Colombosian, gesturing across his backyard to a white house next door. That's where his parents, Rose and Sarkis Colombosian, started the first Colombo Yogurt plant in 1929. The Colombosians came to Massachusetts in the 1920s from Armenia, the "old country," where yogurt is a staple food in Middle Eastern cuisine. "They had a lot of milk and they didn't know what to do with it," says wife Alice Colombosian. "That's how it all started." "We had to make a living," her husband agrees. The television ad, viewed by many residents already, features Colombosian standing on Elm Street near Merrimack College below an "Entering Andover" sign. He tells a brief story of his Armenian mother and the history of the business. Colombosian and his younger brother John were fully invested in the company by the time they were teenagers, processing milk and driving a pick-up truck full of glass-bottled yogurt down to New Jersey, where there was a high population of Armenians and a market for yogurt. They sold Syrian and braided cheese as well. It took years for yogurt to catch on in New England, Colombosian says. But when it finally did, he decided a name change was necessary. "A lot of people couldn't say Colombosian," he says. Hence the shortened version. In 1971 the Colombosians moved the plant to Pelham Street in Methuen,where the facility still stands today. A book on Andover's history says that town officials would not let Colombosian expand the plant on Argilla Road, and Colombosian was not interested in an available parcel in Ballardvale. Officials finally told Colombosian to simply leave town if he wanted to expand, according to Andover: A Century of Change. The move to Methuen proved to be a positive one. "In 1970, sales were at $250,000," says Colombosian. "In 1971, they jumped to $1 million. And it kept doubling after that." Colombo Yogurt Co. sold its product to Hood and Sealtest at the time. It began adding fruit on the bottom - after competitor Dannon had already done it in the New York market - and experimenting with different flavors like coffee and vanilla. And the secret recipe - well, that's the thing, says Colombosian. There really is no secret. "Every ethnic (Armenian) person knows how to make it," he says of the milk-based recipe. "It is simple, but you have to follow the instructions to the T." Colombosian retired and sold to the French company Bongrain in the early '90s. That company in turn sold to General Mills a few years later. General Mills recently began producing the yogurt in a cup with a punch-out plastic spoon in the cover - something Colombosian can't take credit far, but wishes he could. "I thought that was the greatest thing ever!" he says. "What - are you going to eat it with your fingers?" A few months ago, General Mills recruited the retired Colombosian to introduce himself to consumers as the Colombo creator in a TV advertisement. "I said, 'I'm all for it,' " he says. "I have nothing else to do." He doesn't get free yogurt delivered to his doorstep from the deal, however. "They give me coupons," he says. Colombosian can't help but be proud of the company his family created. "I see my product all over the country," he says, smiling. In his opinion, one person can never have too much yogurt. "I like it plain, really," Colombosian says. He stops, reconsiders. "Or with cucumbers. Well, I also like strawberry and coffee. And vanilla..." Locals remember milk goat, yogurt By Rebecca Piro Brian Bevacqua, 13, wasn't too sure what to think when he saw a television commercial for Colombo Yogurt claiming the product was invented in Andover. "I haven't heard of the company being here," says Bevacqua quizzically. "I eat the yogurt, though." It turns out that the older generation remembers the Colombo Yogurt Co. in Andover much more clearly. Residents who meet at Old Town Hall's Drop-In Center know well the Colombo family and the business that sunk its roots in town in 1929, as the TV ad starring Bob Colombo explains. "That's Bobby Colombo! He drives a red Jaguar convertible with a tan roof," says resident Fred Eastman, who has seen the commercial. Bob Colombo - short for Colombosian - is the son of Rose Colombosian, an Armenian woman who lived in town and invented the now-famous yogurt. "We grew up with Bobby," says resident Jim Carmichael. "He was in the Andover school system." "I had his mother's yogurt before it ever hit the market," says Ted Cole, adding that he had milked one of the goats that Rose Colombosian raised on the family farm. Today, a Colombo Yogurt facility is located in Methuen on Pelham Street, says resident Bernice Haggerty. The commercial was filmed about a month ago on Elm Street near Merrimack College, right below the "Entering Andover" sign, says Eastman. It features Colombo telling the story of his mother's invention. [ January 10, 2003, 05:23 PM: Message edited by: MosJan ]

http://www.chgs.umn.edu/Visual___Artistic_Resources/Armenia/Armenians_and_the_American_Exp/armenia53e.jpg Colombosian introduced Colombo Yogurt http://www.colomboyogurt.com/images/ourstoryMainImage.jpg Colombo traces its roots to the kitchen of Rose and Sarkis Colombosian in Andover, Massachusetts. The year was 1929. Using yogurt cultures from her native Armenia, Rose made the first batch of Colombo yogurt over a wood-burning stove. Up until that time, almost no one had heard of yogurt except the small group of immigrants who had come to America from the Middle East. However, the virtues of yogurt spread quickly by word of mouth, and soon Rose and Sarkis started a business, using a horse-drawn wagon to distribute the yogurt across northern Massachusetts. The Colombosian's yogurt business remained relatively small until the early 1960s when the health benefits of yogurt gained a larger following. As a result, Colombo grew from a family business to became a leader in the refrigerated yogurt industry. Modern machinery replaced the old wood stove, and a fleet of refrigerated trucks replaced Sarkis's pick-up. But today, it’s still just as good as if Rose was making it herself. Top Colombo® Yogurt Chronology: 1929 Immigrants Rose and Sarkis Colombosian begin making yogurt on their farm in Andover, Massachusetts with the recipe they brought with them from Armenia. 1940 The Colombosian family, filling Colombo yogurt in glass containers by hand, begin to sell the product throughout New England. 1941 Bob Colombosian and his brother, John, joined the family business. 1970 Colombo Fruit on the Bottom yogurt introduced. 1971 Colombo builds a new plant in Methuen, Massachusetts and introduces modern technology to the company. 1992 Colombo Light yogurt introduced.

Armand Zildjian, Patriarch of the Avedis Zildjian Company, Passes Away Armand Zildjian, president and chairman of the renowned cymbal and drumstick company bearing his family name, died peacefully in his sleep Thursday, December 26 at his home in Scottsdale, Arizona at the age of 81. Armand Zildjian lived in Scottsdale and Quechee, Vermont (formerly Hingham, MA). Born in 1921 to Avedis III and Alice Zildjian in Milton, MA, Armand was the first Zildjian family member to be born in the United States. In 1929, after three centuries of manufacture in Turkey, the secret Zildjian cymbal formula was passed on to Avedis, the oldest living Zildjian male heir. With the cymbals now being made where the family lived in Quincy, MA, Armand became active in the factory in his early teens while attending local schools including Thayer Academy. After attending Colgate University he was called to serve in the Philippines during World War II. Upon his return, he entered the family business full time, which had now become the world's largest cymbal manufacturer and the oldest company in America. An amateur musician himself, Armand said he felt privileged to have been born into a musical dynasty, which dates back to 1623. As time went on he became involved in all aspects of the business, from pouring of the molten alloy to matching pairs of HiHats. Appointed President two years before his father's death, Armand took over the role of family patriarch in 1977 and lead the company for more than two decades. Armand was known for his charismatic personality and warm personal relationship with drummers. In working closely with all the great drummers of the Jazz era, he became the company's first "Cymbal Tester", a position that remains held in the highest regard. Armand developed such faculty testing cymbals that he had the ability to play HiHats in his hand without the aid of a HiHat stand. He hand selected cymbals for such drummers as Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Max Roach, Jo Jones and many others and matched cymbals for the Boston Symphony and leading orchestras around the world. Together with his father he developed the tradition of working with drummers to create new cymbal sounds. The foremost authority in cymbal sound, Armand created new product innovations in response to the ever-changing needs of musicians and remained deeply involved in the operation of the company until his death. In addition to his many innovations in cymbal design, Armand also undertook great efforts to modernize and update the production of cymbal manufacturing. He reinvested profits to finance such revolutionary advances in manufacturing such as the rotary hearth oven, double rolling mills, and computer controlled hammering. Under Armand's leadership, the Zildjian Company made great strides to improve quality and consistency, research and development, and increase the innovative collaborations with drummers that had always been the cornerstones of the Zildjian philosophy. With his company's great success in the cymbal business, Armand always felt it was important to give something back to the community that has helped sustain the company for so many years. Zildjian currently provides over one hundred thousand dollars a year in musical scholarships as well as sponsoring student workshops with leading drummers and educators. In recognition for his many contributions to the music industry over the years, Armand has received an honorary doctorate from Berklee College of Music, was inducted into the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame, and Guitar Center's Rock Walk in Hollywood, and most recently received Modern Drummer Magazine Editors Achievement Award. In addition to his wife, Andra, he leaves four children Wendy Mets, Craigie, Debbie & Robert Zildjian, three stepchildren Kristy Thompson, Mark & Peter Field, eight grandchildren Paula Charles, Cady & Emily Zildjian-Bickford, Samantha Zildjian, Dakota and Victoria Thompson, Kathryn and Spencer Field, two great grandchildren, Ian and Gwen Charles, several cousins, nieces and nephews and a brother Robert. A private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to: Armand Zildjian Percussion Scholarship, c/o Berklee College of Music, 1140 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02215 and the Zildjian Family Opportunity Fund, c/o Percussive Arts Society, 701 NW Ferris Ave., Lawton, OK 73507. Please send your condolences or fond memories of Armand to ArmandMemories@Zildjian.com

Los Angeles Times / andante - 3 January 2003 http://www.zildjian.com/graphics/events/b_armandzildjian.jpg Armand Zildjian, who ran his family's 400-year-old cymbal-making company for more than two decades, died on 26 December, the Los Angeles Times reports. He was 81. Zildjian's family business was created in 1623 when his ancestor Avedis created an alloy of tin, copper and silver that made a crash without cracking. The business — and the family — was named Zildjian, Turkish for "son of cymbal maker." By the 19th century, Zildjian cymbals were an important part of classical orchestras. In 1929, the company moved to the United States, and by mid-century it was the leading provider of an indispensable instrument. According to the Times, the company's growth was fueled in part by its development of the thin "ride" cymbal, which was used to keep time in jazz groups starting in the 1930s. Armand Zildjian, himself an amateur drummer, began working in his father's factory in Massachusetts as a teenager and was appointed company president in 1979. Shortly afterwards, his brother Robert broke away and formed Sabian, a Canadian competitor. Several years ago, Zildjian named his daughter Craigie as his successor — the first woman to head the venerable company. — Ben Mattison [ January 10, 2003, 04:58 PM: Message edited by: MosJan ]

Do any of this manufacturers pay royalties to Armenia ???
