Stimulus funding coming for health clinics Ukiah Daily Journal Staff Updated: 07/20/2009 12:09:17 AM PDT Congressman Mike Thompson (D-Napa Valley) announced that four clinics in Mendocino County will be able to repair and renovate their facilities using nearly $2.4 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The clinics in Mendocino County are part of the 1,500 clinics nationwide that will receive this funding... Long Valley Health Center (L'ville) was awarded $365,290 in Federal Recovery Act funds which will be used to repair and improve the facilities with the overall goals of stabilizing operations and maintaining quality of care to its patients. The centerpiece of this project will be the installation of a 38KW Solar Photo- Voltaic system which will supply all of the electricity used by the main medical facility over the 30 year life of the system. ukiahdailyjournal.com found these looking for the grant announcement pLong Valley Health Center PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Solar Hot Water system- (Active, closed loop system) Solar collectors mounted on the roof are used to pre-heat water by means of a heat exchanger in the solar hot water storage tank. When water is needed at a faucet, this pre-heated water flows through the electric hot water heater and then to the faucet. During the winter, the electric hot water heater brings the water temperature up to 105 degrees. During the summer the pre-heated water may be as hot as 180 degrees, and cold water is mixed with the pre-heated water to bring it down to 105 degrees. longvalley.org Is This the "Greenest" School in California? Spyrock School is a satellite school of Laytonville Unified School District, located in a very remote area of northern Mendocino County; approximately 10 miles north of Laytonville at an elevation of 3,100 feet. The school serves students from Kindergarten through 6th grades who live in this remote area, the proverbial "one room schoolhouse". Prior to the school's establishment, students were driven by their parents over steep, unpaved gravel road to the bottom of the hill where they met the schoolbus which took them to the elementary school in Laytonville. Some of these very young students spent more than 2 hours a day in vehicles going to and from school. longvalley.org
