What is a superinsulated house?
"A superinsulated house incorpo-
rates large amounts of insulation, tight
construction and other energy-conserv-
ing features to minimize heat loss and
gain," said Doug Walter, president of
Kansas Building Science Institute,
Manhattan.
"It's so efficient that solar gain
through sour h-faci ng windows and heat
generated by appliances can supply
much of the needed heat in winter.
Heating costs may be less than $100
per year," he said.
Superinsulated homes require spe-
cial construction to reduce air infiltra-
tion and to accommodate the extra
insulation, up to 13 inches in walls and
18 to 20 inches in the ceiling.
These homes are so tightly con-
structed that they require mechanical
ventilation to bring in fresh air for
occupants. Walter said. To reduce the
cost of conditioning the fresh air, a
heat-recovery ventilator often is used
to pre-heat the incoming air with the
heat from the exhaust air.

Woerner talks to
Jewell Chamber
Linda Woerner, Jewell County
health nurse, spoke about health ser-
vices available from the health depart-
ment at a recent meeting of Jewell
Chamber of Commerce
Woerner told the group the depart-
ment has five employees: Jo Kriley,
RN; Cindy Buser and Sheila McAtee,
home health workers; and Janet Higer,
secretary. Groups of counties share
other health consultants.
In sharing other information about
the health department, Woerner said
that home health care, helping to keep
people in their own homes as long as
safely possible, is the major part of
their work. Medicare has stringent
requirements for helping individuals
with home health needs and does not
provide aid to the present clients. Even
the Area Agency on Aging funds have
been frozen.
Another program Woerner ex-
plained is the Women, Infants and
Children, a nutrition program that is-
sues vouchers for specific food and
teaches good nutrition.
Theimmunization program is ham-
pered by lack of vaccines. Can Be
Healthy is a program providing assess-
ments for families.
Other services provided by the de-
partment include renting car seats and
booster seats for children and satellite
clinics in the various communities.
Present challenges are Kansas Inte-
grated Public Health, a technology pro-
gram which tracks immunizations;
Health Affordability Insurance and
Privacy Act, a federally mandated pro-
gram that must be in place by October
for the department to be eligible for
possible Medicare reimbursements; a
bioterrorism plan which must be in
place by late June.
Terry Mayhew conducted the busi-
ness meeting. Discussion and an-
nouncements included Relay for Life,
a cancer fund-raiser, June 21 at Man-
kato; Marilyn Griest announced the
sidewalk sale, June 1, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Chamber will serve a noon meal.
Old Settlers and will need volunteers.
One more member for the committee
is needed. John Stoeber has agreed to
handle the barbecue.
The Spring Fling event showed a
profit.
Becky Loomis reported the first
Easter Egg Hunt attracted about 100
children. Deb Bohnert volunteered to
chair the event again next year.
Turf for the baseball field is ready
as soon as weather warms. Members
are to assist with the concessions dur-
ing summer ball games.
A request for prizes for readers in
accelerated reading at RES was pre-
sented. The Chamber approved pur-
chasing two softballs and two base-
balls for them.
Van Taylor and John Kemmerer,
representing USD 279 Board of Edu-
cation, presented a plan for an Educa-
tional Foundation to be established for
the district. Returns from such a fund
would supplement programs for the
local district. A board would adminis-
ter the funds. Patrons contributing to
the Educational Foundation would have
the privilege of selecting the use of
their contributions, which are tax de-
ductible. Lincoln District No. 298 has
such a foundation. The program com-
mittee was instructed to obtain a
speaker for the September meeting, if
possible.
May 11 is awards banquet at the
community center. The next regular
meeting for the Chamber is Sept. 9.
Danyel Davis, White Rock, was

Moran encourages
ethanol expansion
Congressman Jerry Moran Mon-
day announced that he has introduced
legislation to extend and expand a pro-
gram that provides incentives to small
Kansas producers of ethanol and
biodiesel. The program, operated
through the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture
(USDA), encourages production of
ethanol by providi!ag financial assis-
tance to ethanol and biodiesel facili-
ties.
"Five ethanol plants are now pro-
ducing ethanol in Kansas, with at least
six more in the building or planning
stage," Moran said. "There is great
potential for the Kansas economy and
for Kansas farmers by expanding etha-
nol and other bioenergy products."
The bill would allow the USDA to
continue providing payments to eli-
gible biofuel companies that add value
to agriculture commodities by produc-
ing ethanol and biodiesel. Under the
program, producers using barley, corn,
grain sorghum, wheat, soybeans and
other commodities for bioenergy will
receive payments based on their in-
creased production. Payments will be
structured to encourage participation
of small producers.
Moran's bill complements an agree-
ment reached by U.S. senate leaders to
move forward with legislation that
would nearly triple the amount of etha-
nol used in gasoline. The Senate agree-
ment, pat of an comprehensive energy
bill, would require refiners to use at
least five billion gallons of ethanol or
other biofuel nation wide by 2012.
"Biofuels represent a win-win situ-
ation. Not only is this good for the
economy and good for farmers, in-
creased ethanol and biofuel use is good
for the environment," Moran said.
"Ethanol-blended fuel does not pose a
risk to our groundwater, as other addi-
tives do. This legislation would help
biofuel producers meet the growing
demand for this renewable domestic
fuel."
