Home energy audits do save you money
First of two articles
By Penny Wright
special writer
"If I couldn't save a homeowner $100
to $150 a year off his utility bills, I
wouldn't be doing the audit,'' said Ron
Wrublewski.
Wrublewski of Livonia is a trained
energy auditor employed by Brothers
Energy Resources of Dearborn to do
residential energy auditing on a subcontract
basis for Detroit Edison and
Michigan Consolidated Gas Co.
Based on estimates compiled by the
Michigan Energy Administration. »the
utility cost savings Wrublewski mentions
for audited households are possible.
Statewide, however, most savings
are in the $45-$55 ballpark.
The audit process is conducted under
a federally mandated plan called the
Residential Conservation Service (RCS)
program. Its aim: to promote energy
cost reductions for customers using
natural gas and electricity.
THE PROGRAM works like this
For a fee of $10 (free to qualifying
low-income households), an energy auditor
will come into a home and conduct
a walk-through survey of the interior
building envelop. Looks at the furnace,
hot water tank and plumbing systems
are included.
Based on the findings, the auditor
will recommend energy-saving improvements.
These are ranked with the
aid of an on-site computer analysis according
to costs and projected savings
Customers are also given an explanation
of financial assistance available
through the utility and a list of local
contractors who can do the work.
THE ONE- TO two-hour visit shows
people that they don't have have to
spend $100 to $1,000 to gain control
over energy costs, Wrublewski said.
Heart patients sought for study
Persons suffering from congestive heart failure
are needed to take part in a new study being conducted
by Siani Hospital of Detroit.
The study may offer them hope, according to Dr
David Wrisley, medical director of Sinai's cardiac
fitness and rehabilitation program.
The study hopes to determine whether heart and
lung capacity can be improved with regular moderate
exercise, he said
"WHEN A patient is in congestive heart failure,
the heart muscle has reduced ability to pump because
it has been damaged," Dr. Wrisley said. This
causes fatigue, shortness of breath, limited ability
for physical exertion and overall poor qualitv of
life."
West Bloomfield resident Melvyn Rubenfire.
chief of cardiology at Sinai says. "Exercise can
have many positive effects."
Over the past 10 years, moderate exercise has
become an accepted part of rehabilitation for some
heart patients. This is based on the knowledge that
physical fitness improves the efficiency of the
heart and reduces certain coronary risk factors
such as obesity and hypertension.
"Patients can benefit from physical activity
which increases work capacity and the level of
exertion needed to provoke chest pain or other

appointments
Sue Ann Eberlein and Robert Jones have been
appointed to the Plymouth Planning Commission
by Mayor David Pugh.
Those appointments, and others, were confirmed
Monday night by the Plymouth City Commission

in 1982 Jones is a vice president of American Natural
Resources
Pugh also appointed former Commissioner Mark

symnptoms. Patients also experience a heightened
sense of well-being," Dr, Rubenfire said.
THERE IS NO charge to participants in the
study. Each will receive a complete physical examination
and cardiologic work-up. Those interested
should contact Sinai's Cardiac Rehabilitation Team
at 495-6333.
The study will have participants walking on a
treadmill, bicycling, rowing, joging and other endurance
exercises for upper and lower extremity
training. Continuous electrocardiographic monitoring
of the heart rhythm will occur during the sessions.
Half of the study patients will be a control group.

These people will not participate in the exercise
sessions initially. However, based on the findings of
the study, they may join the exercise group at a
later time.
The exercise segment of the study will be held in
hourly sessions, three times a week. There will be
two to five patients in each exercise group, supervised
by a cardiologist, nurse and exercise physiologist.
In early 1984, tbe Sinai Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation
Program will be opening a major facility in
West Bloomfield, where a substantial portion of the
exercise training for this study will take place
there.

the fires that had destroyed their
homes.
ABOUT 900 WERE marshaled into
a kind of forlorn procession, led by a
dragoon carrying the flag'of the United
States.
Then came the baggage wagons, and
then a large wagon carrying the various
chiefs including Menominee. When
Petit discovered that the chiefs were
bound and under guard as "prisoners of
war," he moved at once to seek a personal
visit with Col. John Tipton, the
officer-in-charge
At Petit's request the chiefs were unbound
and were given blankets to sit on
and to keep them warm at night.
Next in the procession were the other
captives — the women and children
mounted on their ponies and most of
the men on foot. From the beginning
some tried to escape and some succeeded.
And many went with the idea
of escaping later
