Ribbon Cutting for New Fire Station

Fire Station 37 is located near Lincoln & Curtner and serves the south area of the Willow Glen community and the north area of the Cambrian community.

The new building is an 8,100 square foot two-story, single-fire company station that contains 2 apparatus bays, separate crew and captain’s offices, an open kitchen, dining & living room, exercise room, and 5 two-bed capacity dormitories with private restrooms.

The City’s new standards of Zero Net Carbon totally eliminate the use of natural gas. There are 82 Photovoltaic Panels generating a total of 25kW in solar power.

The project is said to have been completed on schedule and within the approved $8.8 million budget (after acquiring the city parkland it now stands on).

Consternation

One night, I dreamed I had made a pact with the devil for my soul.

I gave him my violin to see if he could play.

How great was my astonishment on hearing a sonata so wonderful and so beautiful, played with such great art and intelligence, as I had never even conceived in my boldest flights of fantasy.

I felt enraptured, transported, enchanted: my breath failed me, and I awoke.

Tartini’s Dream by Louis-Léopold Boilly (1824)

Deliberate

Be not merciful unto them that offend of malicious wickedness. They grin like a dog and run about through the city. But thou, O Lord, shalt have them in derision. Thou shalt laugh all the heathen to scorn.

Psalm 59

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
