CityViewNC.com | 13 Tips to Save on Heating Costs • Turn your thermostat down – every degree saves about 2% on your heating bill. • If you need to turn it up, do it gradually – no more than two degrees at a time – to keep your heat pump's auxiliary heat from coming on. Auxiliary heat costs three times as much to operate, but keep in mind that auxiliary heat will come on automatically if temperatures get to or below freezing. • Take extra care to keep your heat down during Winter Time-of-Use Peak Hours, from 6:00 am to 10:00 am on weekdays. Use a programmable thermostat to take full advantage of savings with Time-of-Use rates. • For maximum HVAC efficiency, change your filters once a month. • If you have an older, inefficient heat pump, replace it with an ENERGY STAR® unit.* *If you install more efficient ENERGY STAR qualified HVAC unit(s), you can take advantage of a PWC incentive program and earn a credit up to $400 on your electric bill for each unit you replace (up to two per household). You'll stay comfortable, while significantly reducing your heating (and cooling) costs all year long.

He had a vision for the plot of wooden land off Bragg Boulevard long before it was cleared to add picnic facilities, playground equipment, walking trails and eight lighted tennis courts. As chair of the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board, Mazarick was instrumental in encouraging local officials to use the city-owned land to develop a park around the 21-acre Glenville Lake. Two years aer his death from the effects of cancer in 1984, the City Council voted to rename then-Glenville Park in his honor. A plaque at Milton E. Mazarick Park proclaimed him "God's ambassador in tennis shoes." "We always knew how much that park meant to him," said Mazarick 's daughter, Karen Mantzouris. ese days, the park is one of the perfect and somewhat unexpected Fayetteville spots to clear your mind and welcome in the new year. Just off a busy thoroughfare and even when the tennis courts and playgrounds are quiet, the park offers serenity in the form of an easy hike and a breathtaking view off the dock at Glenville Lake. Here is a peek at Mazarick Park, along with a few other places to find nature's peaceful celebration with a measure of beauty, tranquility and fresh air.
