15-No37

Dedication

Ribbon Cutting for New Fire Station in Willow Glen

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 building was designed by IBI-Group Architects, and constructed by Gonsalves & Stronck Construction Company.

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).

Dreams at Twilight – Artist’s Reverie

That word, “reverie“, for some reason went around & around through my mind all night.

Coincidentally, in this morning’s San Jose Mercury News, I found one of Jules Travernier’s paintings. It was inspired during the year he spent crossing America, sketching the scenes he encountered while lost in his thoughts.
