DAVJD DOMINGUEZ Com Ed proposes conservation initiatives Nine new conservation initiatives have been submitted by Commonwealth Edison to the Illinois Commerce Comm- mission (ICC), supplementing a" 450-page load management and conservation program the company presented to the ICC in April, 1983. * A major target of the new 'initiatives is a reduction in 'summertime electricty 'demands caused by air con­ ditioning. Next spring, Edison will conduct a pilot program in 'one of its northern Illinois districts designed to determine if customers can be motivated to tune-up their air conditioners. A clean, fully charged air conditioning unit uses less electricty and can help reduce peak electrical demands during the summer. This can reduce the use of less efficient, higher cost generating capacity and save both Edison and customers money. Edison will distribute discount coupons usable by its customers in the test area that will enable them to obtain at reduced cost * qyipjrhaul which would ist about $35 for each Fernando Konstant, Esther Jemiola and Harriet Bergstrand are shown before starting trip earned for high sales. central air conditioner unit. The overhaul would include cleaning the outdoor condenser with a hose and solvent, oiling -the outdoor fan and indoor blower fan, checking belt drive tension and belt condition (if ap­ plicable) and checking for proper Freon charge. Since a large number of households have cooling equipment that is serviceable and will not need replacment for several years, Edison believes air conditioner tune-ups will pay its customers conservation dividends. At the same time, the company will continue a program begun in 1983 in which Edison and the manufacturers of cooling equipment will provide discounts on the pur­ chase of highly efficient models. Both program will be analyzed to access customer response. Also inducted among the new initiatives are: a feasibility study for possible system-wide voltage reduction, which could reduce kilowatt demand; a plan for expanded use of ice storage technology; and a renewed effort to find feasible cogeneration opportunities.

Reviewing the growth of the McHenry County Association for the Retarded and the addition of services he said, "We know how to do it in McHenry County. We have gained a reputation with our Pioneer Center progam that extends to Washington, DC. This organization has set an example not only for the state but for the whole nation." The dinner and program at Chapel ̂ Hill Golf Club was a reunion aid a celebration, said Bruce SnWth, 25th aniversry chairman \ and master of ceremonies. "Twenty-five years ago it was difficult to get help for the developmentally disabled. Our founders started the program in a modest way, first with a school for eight people. "We have built up a terrific support network to provide immediate help. We have discovered the basic ingredient - - the decency in individuals and in this community to help," said Smyth. Dixie Hogan, president of the board, opened the meeting with a welcome and offered a toast to the founders of the dynamic organization. For 17 years Robert Lam- bourn has served as executive director. He recalled the start of many programs to meet urgent needs oi the physically and mentally disabled. He thanked the founders for their sincerity and dedication- several were in attendance. He also made mention of the many organizations that provided funds in the early years, adding, "You were our lifeblood. We had STAFF PHOTOWAVNt OAYIOUP notes prior to Smyth's talk at the an­ niversary dinner. Robert Lambourn, director of Pioneer Center, and Bruce Smyth, board vice- president and dinner chairman, review no other source of funds." Among groups recognzied with plaques were the Wood­ stock Moose Lodge; Cary, Crystal Lake and Woodstock Lions Clubs; Crystal Lake, McHenry, Wonder Lake and Woodstock Kiwanis Clubs; McHenry County Bowling Proprietors Association; Wonder Lake Bible Church; McHenry County Mental Health Resource League, and the McHenry, Harvard, Woodstock and Crystal Lake Knights of Columbus. Smyth recalled that the Wonder Lake Bible Church provided the first classroom without charge, making it possible for the founders to begin a formal program of helping the developmentally disabled. Bobbi Wiltse, director of program development, in­ troduced these founders who took part in the program by carving the 25th anniversary cake; Charles and Mary Stone, Dr. Santo Ruggero, Roy Swanson, Frank Higgins, Marge Dugan, Myrtle Davidson and Sandy Huff, a Pioneer Client and daughter of a leading founder, Verona Huff, the organizers lived in the Wonder Lake community and most continue to live in Wonder Lake now. During his remarks, Senator Schaffer said state institutions are being phased out and coincides with the responsibility being placed on community- based organizations. "A better job is done locally with family support, and at lower cost. The reduction in state institutions does not mean a cutback in funds for the developmentally disabled. I believe state funding to com1 munity organizations like Pioneer Center will increase." Sen. Schaffer said Bob Lam­ bourn is a member of the Illinois Commission on Mental Health and Developmentally Disabled and "is one of the most effective directors in the state." Insurance is important to your home By: Yvonne Beer. Executive V ice -p re s iden t , McHenry County Board of Realtors) If your home was destroyed, do°£bu know what it would cost to replace it or buy another home of comparable space, quality, and location? If you had to sell your home tomorrow, what price would you ask? R ealtors ECORD In a sense, you place a price tag on your home every time you renew your homeowner's in­ surance. The face amount of your policy is the maximum amount you would be paid if you lost your home. That's why your insurance coverage should be equal to the fair market value of your home, excluding the non- combus t i b l e founda t i on structure and building lot. Insurance people tell you to maintain "insurance to value" ",on your home. Some policies have provisions to cover full replacement value because inflation and improvements increase the value of a home. If the value of your home has in­ creased over the last year, be sure that your homeowner's insurance courage is keeping pace. A change in policy coverage does not necessarily mean a sizeable increase in your premium. There are ways that you can counterbalance the coverage to keep costs down: --Take a higher deductible. The larger the deductible, the more you save in premium expenditure. - - In s t a l l r i sk - r educ ing devices. Some insurance companies will give the homeowner a premium break if smoke detectors or burglar alarms are installed. -Shop around. Use consumer savvy to find the best coverage at the most reasonable price. Good insurance is not enough if you can't prove what was lost after a fire or theft. Prepare for your claim by keeping photographs of valuables and receipts or cancelled checks for costly household items. Have a professional appraisal made that you can give to the in­ surance company to support and speed up the processing of a claim. A complete listing of property is always helpful. Don't keep this information in your home where it could also be destroyed. Keep important documents in a safety deposit box. Good in­ surance and documentation is your guarantee that should your home go up in smoke, you'll have more than ashes on which to build your new life.
