- Fossil fuels vs. Natural gas
- March 10, 2010
- Home heating systems (including central systems, wall/window mounted systems, roof mounted units, radiant systems or steam heated radiators) are fired by gas, electricity, coal or oil. In most parts of the country gas is far less expensive than any of the others making gas (natural or propane) our fuel of choice. Not only is gas inexpensive, 98 percent of all natural gas is pumped right here in the good old U.S. of A. The other two percent comes from Canada. Additionally, natural gas produces only one-half the CO2 produced by coal (no matter how clean it supposedly is) and 30 percent less CO2 than oil – and you know where we get most of our oil.

- The Story of Payson, Arizona
- Chapter 38: The W.P.A. Comes To Town
- March 10, 2010
- As Payson’s population increased, the two aging frame structures on Main Street that had served as schoolhouses since 1901 and 1916 respectively were simply inadequate. The Great Depression was under way in the 1930s, and local families were in no position to finance a larger school. However, the Federal Government had established the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which provided the needed funds. It was up to the local school district to develop the plans and hire the work done, which gave some much needed relief for Rim Country families who joined the construction crews. Not only were local men employed for the work, but also many family members pitched in and invested their time and energy in the task. It was truly a community project, and the community joyfully took ownership, affectionately dubbing it “The Rock School.”
