SECTION 2 ->PAGE 8 - PI-AINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30,1980 Illinois Sponsors Energy Conservation School Program More than $8 million soon will be distributed to Illinois schools participating in a state-sponsored energy conservation program, it was announced today by Frank Beal, Director of the Illinois Institute of Natural Resources (INR). '•Before the end of March, INR exp@£ts thai $8.6 million in grant funds will have been released to Illinois schools by the U.S. Department of Energy," Beal said. "This represents the first step in a program thai will help reduce energy costs for schools and for the tax­ payers and donors who' support those schools." Ultimately, up to $30 million in federal funds will be available over a three- year period to help Illinois schools pay the costs of insulation, furnace im­ provements and other physical changes which can increase energy efficiency, Beal said. The capital improvements are one part of a com­ prehensive program which also includes energy con­ servation training for school personnel and inspections to determine the need for physical improvements. The program is being ad­ ministered in cooperation with the Illinois Office of Education. To date, 3,400 school ad­ ministrators and main­ tenance personnel have taken training courses designed to pinpoint energy conservation practices that can be incorporated into daily operating procedures at schools. A second round of training will begin Feb. 1, 1980, and any interested school districts, colleges and universities (both public and private school systems) are eligible to participate. After learning the daily techniques which can con­ serve up to 25 percent of the energy used in the average school, trained personnel participate in on-site in­ spections that help deter­ mine the effectiveness and costs of physical changes that can be made to further increase energy efficiency. The results of the in­ spections may be in­ corporated into applications for grant money that can help pay for those im­ provements that can be justified in terms of energy savings. Schools enrolling in the program before May 1 will be eligible to share in another $8 million in capital improvement grants. "Energy conservation in schools is a paying proposition," Beal said. "It is possible through daily attention to lighting, heating and other energy-consuming Legislators State Sena tors Jack Schaffer (R) - 33rd. 56 N.

Thus" far, 45 school districts, individual private schools, colleges and universities have par­ ticipated in the program and have applied for funding. (A similar program is under way for hospitals, and 14 such institutions have enrolled to date.) On June 1, 1980, INR will no longer accept applications for the program. V "A strong start has been made toward making our schools more energy ef­ ficient, and energy costs will be lower than they would have been otherwise," Beal saidj'lt is an important part of. a broader effort to in­ crease energy efficiency in i he public, private and business communities within Illinois."

Slate Tax Seminar At YMCA Next Month Toast to Success Jules Janin, at a banquet, was given the toast, "Long live success!" "Yes," he retorted, "it's the o only thing that succeeds." The Lake Region YMCA will present an income tax seminar which will assist individuals iti preparing their 1979 tax returns. It is scheduled Tuesday, Feb. 12, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Lake Region YMCA. This seminar will cover preparation of Form 1040, Schedule A and tax highlights for the average homeowner. The main thrUst of the presentation will be to review the basic forms the average taxpayer needs to file and to provide in­ formation on how to prepare your own return with little or no additional assistance. Peter J. Taglia, a certified public accountant, will present the seminar. Taglia is a member of the American Institute of C.P.A.S, Illinois Society of C.P.A.s and McHenry County Estate Planning Council.
