Give Us Your Design Ideas for the boxART! Program With a new wave of artwork approved for traffic signal control boxes, expect to see more boxART! murals popping up all over the city. The boxART! Program helps deter unsightly vandalism and creates inviting spaces for residents and visitors alike. Traffic signal control boxes, typically painted gray or olive green, are placed on or near street corners where there are traffic signals, and are visible to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The location of the traffic signal control boxes are selected based on their visibility and their susceptibility to graffiti. Response to the initial boxes, launched in 2014, has been met with enthusiastic support from the Fremont community. As a re- sult, the program expanded, recently launching a Phase 2 Call for Artists. Themes for boxART! include sustainability, green energy, community, education, technology, innovation, ecology, arts, humor, and human relations. As the popularity of this program grows and expands, the City is looking to the public for design ideas for future phases. Please take a moment to answer the following question in regard to the City’s boxART! program: What future designs would you like to see included on utility boxes as part of boxART!? You can voice your opinion on Fremont Open City Hall at www.Fremont.gov/OpenCityHallboxart.

continued from page 3 Washington Hospital’s Intensivist Team Cares for the Most Critically Ill Patients Washington Hospital’s multidisciplinary approach has been proven to save lives. A 2010 study published in the Archives of Internal Med- icine found that the death rate among critically ill/injured patients was lowest at hospitals that use this type of multidisciplinary team led by a trained intensivist. Washington Hospital is focused on providing state-of-the-art med- ical care, including critical care, Dr. Agcaoili said. “From the Inten- sivist Program to the new Morris Hyman Critical Care Pavillion, and with our affiliation with UCSF Medical Center, Washington Hospital is well-positioned to provide the best critical care medicine possible for our community.”

This weekend, Tri-City residents can experience a historic thrill aboard America’s first airliner – the Ford Tri-Motor. Hosted by the Experimental Air- craft Association (EAA) Vintage Chapter 29, this three-engine aircraft is almost 50 feet long with a wingspan of 74 feet, 450 horsepower per engine, a maximum speed of 132 miles per hour, and carries up to 10 passengers at a time. Built by the Ford Motor Company from 1926 through 1933, the Tri-Motor (nicknamed “The Tin Goose”) was created to build a market for airline travel. EAA’s model 4-AT-E-NC8407 was the 146th plane out of 199 built by Ford, and took its first flight on August 21, 1929. Its intriguing history in- cludes service as a Cuban airliner, flights in Central and South America, and transporting smoke jumpers fighting forest fires in Idaho and Montana. Wrecked by a severe thunderstorm in 1973, the EAA purchased the aircraft and began a 12-year restoration project. It debuted in 1985 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and was on display in the EAA AirVen- ture Museum until 1991 when it once again took to the skies for passenger flights. Thursday: 2 p.m. – 6 p.m. Rides in the Tri-Motor will be sold on May 14 Friday & Sunday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and 15, and Sunday, May 17 in conjunction with Hayward Executive Airport the Hayward Executive Airport Open House.

"For them, it's the heart of the home - deck out even modest houses with afford- able wood trim in ever-more-complex profiles. The 20th Century saw decorative simplifications of the Arts and Crafts style, emphasizing clean lines, unfussy forms and the inherent beauty of natural wood. This was followed by the Art Deco and Modernist movements, which further streamlined or completely eliminated ap- plied architectural ornament such as mouldings and trims. Today, tastes tend to be eclectic, and whether you install an elaborately carved crown moulding featuring acanthus leaves and egg-and-dart detailing or an elegantly austere profile comprising nothing more than a graceful S-curve, will depend on personal preference and the overall style of your home. No matter what your architectural preferences might be, you can transform a plain-Jane interior into a distinctive, char- acterful environment by incorporating hardwood mouldings and trimwork into your home's design. Visit the American Hardwood Information Center, www.hardwoodInfo.com, and be inspired.

Tri-City Stargazer MAY 13 – MAY 19, 2014 BY VIVIAN CAROL For All Signs: Mercury, the planet that rules communications, common business practice and travel, turns retrograde on May 18 and will remain so until June 13. We have these three times per year and during this period, it is best to avoid finalizing major decisions or signing contractual agreements. Seemingly good ideas are often discovered later to have flaws or missing information. Projects that are begun during the cycle often cannot be completed until several months later at the next retrograde. Don't put a piece of property on the market now. The cycle is most beneficially used to complete old plans, gather information on pro- posed ideas, and reflect on past progress. It is meant for gestation and introspection–the dark and quiet time needed for new seeds to take root. Western civiliza- tion is programmed to keep moving forward no matter what. So we encounter challenges and difficulties if we refuse to slow our pace during the retrograde.

Future Eagle Scout builds furniture for Glankler classroom

SUBMITTED BY BRIAN KILLGORE

Students in Glankler Early Learning Center’s State Preschool Program received a gift of custom-made fur- niture and accessories from an aspiring Eagle Scout. A member of local Boy Scout Troop 154, American High School freshman Shreyas Venkatarathinam, wanted to make a difference for his Eagle project. Over a 10- month period, Venkatarathinam worked with Glankler Instructor Ranjana Subramanian to determine the needs of her classroom, raised money, learned about tools and woodworking, then designed and built four items for use in Subramanian’s classroom. On April 22, Venkatarathinam presented the class with a mobile whiteboard/large book easel/storage con- tainer, a large-book storage cabinet, and two mobile toy chests designed specifically to fit inside the classroom’s storage closets. As the icing on the cake, Venkatarathi- nam also presented FUSD Program Manager Beverly Taub with a check for $100 for use on Glankler’s pro- grams and services. Thank you to Shreyas Venkatarathinam for all his hard work for students and a well-deserved, soon-to- be, Eagle Scout designation.
