PUBLIC ART ‘The Color of Palo Alto’ gains more green Public Art Commission approves additional funds for Yates’ project by Karla Kane ans of The Color of Palo Alto, artist Sam Yates’ extensive public-private art venture, can look for- F ward to collector’s items — colored buttons to be given out at the official color’s Aug. 5 unveiling, along with commemorative paint chips or postcards. The project, already in its seventh year and second phase, is expanding its scope again thanks to a $3,000 expenditure unanimously approved by the Palo Alto Art Commission last week. A plaque marking the “birth- place” of the color is also on the list of items to be paid for with the new funds. The Color of Palo Alto art project includes photographs of every house in Palo Alto, a composite color generated from those photographs (to be made available as a formula for paint pigment), an eventual searchable online database and the currently installed “wrap” of City Hall. The city paid Yates $35,000, and Hewlett-Packard Company donated $40,000 to the project. The wrap, installed in March, is temporary and expected to be removed after six months. “After the piece is gone, we need to commemorate it,” Commissioner Karen Frankel said. Yates had recommended an informational sign explaining the project, but Frankel suggested a celebratory David Cenzer plaque, to be modeled after those of historical land- marks. It would be placed in the King Plaza location occupied by Yates’ temporary workspace. Frankel estimated the plaque would cost $500.

AROUND WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? THE BLOCK

GIVING A WOMAN HER DUE ... Barron Park historian Doug Graham recently received a letter from Morris Bol, the son of Bol Park namesake Cornelius Bol requesting that the park’s name be officially changed to include his mother, Josina Bol. She was instrumental in turn- ing the family’s land over to the City of Palo Alto but deferred recognition during her lifetime, he said. Now that she has died, her sons want their mother to be memorialized in the park’s name. Graham will present the idea to the city along with a proposal that the signage won’t be changed until it needs to be repaired. That way, getting the name changed won’t cost the city any money, he said. Barron Park’s board of directors voted unanimously to support the change. Susan Bradley EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS ...

Tall Tree winners affirm ‘community values’ It takes well-meaning individuals who care enough to take action to create a positive, caring community, winners of the 2008 Tall Tree Awards demonstrated by example Thursday night. Winners in four categories include “outstanding citizen” Megan Swezey Fogarty, a volunteer for numerous youth-oriented groups; “outstanding professional” Linda Lenoir of the Palo Alto Unified School District; “outstanding business” IDEO, a creative consulting firm; and “outstanding nonprofit” Canopy, a tree-planting organization. They each spoke about the history of their community involve- ment to nearly 500 persons at the Crowne Plaza CabaÒa hotel in south Palo Alto. The annual community-wide awards, now in their 29th year, are sponsored by the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce and Palo Alto Weekly, and co-sponsored by a range of other community-based businesses and organizations. A video of the awards is available at www.PaloAltoOnline.com. ■ —Jay Thorwaldson East Palo Alto gets two new police captains Two new police captains appointed in the East Palo Alto Police Department began their new duties Monday. Carl Estelle, 46, and John Chalmers, 50, will both serve as Area Commanders under the department’s new Area Command structure. Chalmers is an 18-year veteran of the force and has served in various supervisory positions such as patrol, criminal investigations and Professional Standards Division, according to the department. Estelle has been working in East Palo Alto since 2007, when he was loaned by the Department of Justice as part of Project Safe Neighbor- hood. He has 11 years with the Department of Justice and 12 with the Oakland Police Department, police reported. Chief Ron Davis said that both men have “displayed their willing- ness to place the community’s needs above their own and establish strong working relationships with our law enforcement partners. I am confident that both captains are the right fit for the department as we continue to reform the organization and change its culture to that of ‘community and accountability.’” A swearing in ceremony for the captains will be held in May. In other East Palo Alto police news, the department announced it has arrested 21 people on various charges and recovered seven guns. The arrests came after declaring a crime emergency almost two weeks ago because of a spike in crime in which seven people were shot and wounded in 10 days. What you need to Only one shooting occurred after the emergency was declared, Chalmers said. know about No one was injured in that incident, and two people were arrested. As part of the declaration of emergency, the police department can- celled days off for its staff and called in support from other police agencies, including the California Highway Patrol, to help with patrol The 5 Principles duties. The CHP has increased traffic enforcement in gang areas in the hopes of arresting people with guns. Police have arrested five people on weapons charges, three on nar- of cotics charges, six on felony warrants and seven on other charges. ■ —Don Kazak and Bay City News Service Great Design Leslie Hume to head Stanford Board of Trustees When Leslie Hume becomes the president of the Stanford Uni- versity Board of Trustees July 1, she will become only the second woman to head the board.

Week 3 - Presentation Techniques - develops studentsʼ public speaking and analytical skills for a variety of purposes (e.g., class presentations, 2008 HORSEMANSHIP CAMPS debates) using age-appropriate supporting tools (e.g., handouts, posters, overhead projections, props, PowerPoint).
