Show Low Public Library announces a 1,300 square foot expansion to the library that will be primarily used as a Youth Center. This project is funded in part from the Arizona State Library, Archives & Public Records, a division of the Secretary of State, with funds appropriated by the Arizona State Legislature; Rural Activation and Innovation Network (RAIN), and Show Low Library Friends. Partners include the City of Show Low and Arizona@Work.
This new space will include dedicated computers for the youth, a large programming area, a recording studio, and an Arizona@Work Youth Affiliate Site. The project will be complete in June of 2021.
I did not attend this year s Feaste of Carols performance by the Show Low High School Choir due to my age (almost 82) and poor health (heart failure). However, I have attended and enjoyed previous year s performances.
It is my understanding it was, as usual, an excellent performance. The positive impact on the lives of the young people who participated will remain with them forever. I feel I m speaking for many when I extend a heart-felt thank you to the City of Show Low, the Show Low School District Administration, Cynthia Whipple, the students, and many others who worked so hard to allow the show to go on.
Trees must be free of decorations and lights
Help the environment and drop off used Christmas trees (free of ornaments, wire hooks, lights, tinsel, etc.) for recycling from Saturday, Dec. 26, to Sunday, Jan. 10, in the designated area bordered by orange construction fencing in the parking lot at Frontier Park, 650 N. 9th Place in Show Low.
This annual recycling event is a partnership between the City of Show Low and Novo Power. The recycled trees will be transported to the Novo Power biomass plant in Snowflake and used as fuel to generate electric power.
The Novo Power biomass plant is a 25-megawatt electrical generation plant located on the former Catalyst Paper Corporation property. The plant began commercial operations in June 2008 and generates power primarily fueled by wood waste from forest thinning projects in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. Novo Power is currently selling its electrical power output to Arizona Public Service (APS) and Salt River Project (SRP) unde
