Even counting the school district employees and their family members who attended the bond issue meeting in Beatty Oct. 4, the turnout was disappointing. Some people commented that it was not adequately publicized, although flyers were posted and sent home with students. School board President Deborah Wescoatt conducted the meeting, starting out by showing a video of school board members and administrators visited to gather ideas for construction of the new high school and two elementary facilities planned for Pahrump. Wescoatt explained that permanent modular construction, which consists of units constructed in the contractor's own plant and then installed on concrete slabs could save the district considerable time and money. Using this approach, she said they should be able to have Floyd Elementary, which will be built using the last of the previous bond issue money, ready to open in August 2007.

The new home at 590 Orchard St. in New Haven, Conn., offers many of the extras you would expect in a house designed by Yale-trained architects. From its edgy roof with solar panels to the basement with its high-efficiency furnace, numerous practical and aesthetic touches set this house apart from its slightly shabby Victorian-era neighbors. The Marvin windows are gigantic. The ceiling is cathedral. The floor is engineered maple. The bathroom floors are tile, and the custom staircase leading to the second floor has its banister built into the slanting wall. Nothing in the house suggests the bland, low-cost chock-ablock design usually associated with urban renewal. But the house was purchased this year by a low-income single mother who moved her family from public housing to the first home of her own.
LOS ANGELES, October 12, 2006 - The $140 million, 10,258-seat Galen Center opens Thursday night amid predictions that it will provide a major economic boost to the neighborhood surrounding USC and help the long-struggling Trojan men's basketball team. .
A top lawmaker says he wants a guarantee from Gov. Haley Barbour that consumers, rather than contractors, will benefit from the governor's proposed tax cut on modular housing - the sole issue in a special legislative session that starts Thursday. "Usually, the homeowner does not pay the tax directly," House Speaker Billy McCoy, D-Rienzi, said in a written statement Wednesday. "Instead, it is paid by the contractor when he buys the modular home and simply becomes a part of the cost of construction. The homeowner never sees it." Barbour says decreasing the tax rate on modular homes could help speed up rebuilding in south Mississippi, where thousands of people are still waiting to rebuild their homes more than 13 months after Hurricane Katrina. The governor's spokesman, Pete Smith, said lowering the tax rate would benefit home buyers.
