Trinity County’s plan to implement and evaluate beneficial and effective Mental Health Services Act programming throughout the county. Trinity County 3-year Integrated Plan 2017-2020 Introduction Trinity County is a rural frontier county located in the far northwest corner of the State. It is known for its rugged beauty and mountainous terrain. The county is roughly the size of Rhode Island but is occupied by only approximately 13,000 individuals. According to U.S. Census Bureau Statistics the population of the county has decreased slightly as of July 1, 2016. There are now 12,782 residents of the county. Communities in the county are widely spaced and the two most populated townships are Weaverville with 3,500 residents and Hayfork with approximately 2,300 residents. Travel through the county is done on two 2- lane highways: Hwy. 299 that runs East and West; and, Hwy. 3 that runs North and South. Travel in the winter is sometimes hazardous due to snow storms; and, often during the summer and early fall, the county can be plagued with wildfires that inundate the air with smoke. Historically, Trinity County was a destination for prospectors and gold miners; and, later home to a booming logging industry. The economy of the county has never recovered after two mill closings and a significant reduction of timber jobs. Currently, tourism is a key source of revenue for the county and more recently the marijuana industry.

EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.25 HC-$1.80 DESCRIPTORS Educational Innovation, Educational Philosophy, *Experimental Schools, Nonauthoritarian Classes, *Permissive Environment, Relevance (Education) ABSTRACT As an alternative to the traditional public school, some educators recommend an environment rich in .academic, artistic, and athletic stimuli, from which the child can take what he wants when he wants it. This survey represents the observations of visitors to classrooms in the San Francisco Bay Area which are run on the free learner principle. Twenty private schools, two experimental programs in public schools, and two public schools which are working within the framework et compulsory education are described. As a preface to the descriptions of the actual schools, a fictitious "Hill School" is described which embodies much of the philosophy and practice of the free school ideal.A table of data is also presented which gives information about the student and teacher population and financial status of each of the schools described.

  • Effect of Window Overhang Shade on Heat Gain of Various Single Glazing Window Glasses for Passive Cooling
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Technology 23 ( 2016 ) 439 – 446 3rd International Conference on Innovations in Automation and Mechatronics Engineering, ICIAME 2016 Effect of Window Overhang shade on Heat gain of Various Single Glazing Window glasses for Passive Cooling Saboor Shaika*, KiranKumar Gorantlab, Ashok Babu Talanki Puttaranga Settyc a,b,c Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Karntaka, Surathkal, Mangalore-575025, Karnataka, India. Abstract This paper presents thermal performance of various single glazing window glasses covered with and without window overhang shading. Buildings are designed with laterite stone walls with different dimensions of overhang shading devices on single glazing windows in four different climatic zones of India: Ahmedabad (Hot & dry), Bangalore (moderate), Calcutta (warm & humid) and Hyderabad (composite). In this study, five glass materials such as clear, bronze, green, grey and blue-green were selected. Total three hundred and twenty building models with and without window overhangs were designed in four climatic zones of India using Design builder 4.3.0.039. Thermal simulation was carried out in Energy plus 8.1 simulation tool. From the results, it is observed that laterite buildings with grey glass window with 1.5m overhang shading device were found to be energy efficient from the least heat gain point of view in south direction among three hundred and twenty building models studied in four climatic zones of India. The results of the study help in selecting the best window glass material and also help in selecting appropriate dimensions for overhang shading device for reducing cooling loads in buildings. © 20162016 The The Authors.
