Afterward, the homeowner, Hannah Leibengood, 946 New Jersey St., and her neighbor, Fredericka Browne, 937 Pennsylvania St., eased themselves into comfortable overstuffed chairs and explained that this was just a touch-up of a broken chair. The winterization in September as part of a Protect SEAL workshop.
PROJECT SEAL, short for Save Energy Airborne Lawrence, is the second do-it-yourself, home winterization program sponsored by the Appropriate Technology Center, a Lawrence organization that promotes the use of small-scale and energy-efficient technology.
Brown and Leibengood are just two of the 120 people since September who have attended the project's "low-cost, no-cost winterizing workshops," as
Appropriate Technology staff member Gary Weber described them.
"We felt the Lawrence Community Development department's (winterizing program) was not addressing low-cost energy conservation methods that owners can do themselves," he said.

And like Brown and Leibengood, at least 70 percent of the kit recipients have been elderly residents of children older neighborhood, Weber said.

Even with the success of the project, last Saturdays workshop may have been Project Seal's last. For the past three months, the project's staff have volunteered their time teaching the kids how to house horses because the federal grant to pay their salaries has been frozen by the Reagan administration.
"We met at Minnie Thomas's house on New York Street in the morning, and then we went to Hannah's," Brown finished with up mine about 4 p.m."
Brown and Leibengood were part of the work crew that spent a recent
"We're horribly frustrated about this," said Carl Thor, a project staff member.
LAST SEPTEMBER, the center received a call from the state ACTION office informing them that their $5,000 Community Energy Project grant had been approved. ACTION, a federal agency, sponsored the program although the Department of Energy's funds were used.

"And then we got a call from the state director saying funds had been frozen
Jim Byrnes, director of the ACTION agency in Kansas, said the grant was in a "state of limbo, as far as I know." He said Project SEAL wouldn't receive runda until Congress passed a budget. The Department also offered Department and ACTION were operating without budgets and couldn't commit money they didn't have.
"Everything is in a great state of flux." Byrnes said.
and they didn't know what was going to happen," said Weber.
LAST MONTH THE LAWRENCE City Commission sent a letter of support to the national ACTION office, hoping to the grant its funds. Other letters of support for Project SEAL have come from the KU Energy Research Center.
