Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, October 12, 1983 Northern Affairs - Kitchen Energy Conservation by JANE E. GREER Are you working to improve the energy- efficiency of your home? After adding insulation, storm doors' and windows and glass doors on the fireplace, what's the next step? Consider the kitchen. Whether you'fe a gour- met cook or a frozen din- ner fan, most all of us can improve our energy habits in the kitchen. In many homes, the largest amount of ener- gy in the kitchen is used by the refrigerator and freezer. To make these appliances more effi- cient, take as many items out at one time as possible. Avoid opening the door and "window . 824-2933 LAKE SUPERIOR CHARTERS Seer \Charter our 40' boat for - trailer park : daily cruises - coffee shop - overnight excursions ot ' .smoked fish =< he - Post Office - fishing & hunting - body shop - diving : : -ice i. racecar se - live bait MAC'S SERVICE Rossport, Ont.

The condenser should be kept clean of dust and lint. Manual defrost types should be defrost- ed when the ice builds up. more than 1/4". Both dust and excess ice cause the refrigerator to run more often, and less efficiently. Many refrigerators are now equipped with ""energy-saver" swit- ches that control the heater strips around the door. These heaters help evaporate excess mois- ture during humid wea- ther. During the low humidity of winter, these heaters are not needed so the control should be set according- ly. The oven. can be made -into a very efficient cooking appliance by taking advantage of its insulation and large capacity to prepare oven meals. These take no more energy that cook- ing just one food. Pre-heating should be reserved for baked goods only, and today's well-insulated ovens can be turned off about 15 minutes early and still finish cooking properly. Of course, insulation has little value if the oven door is opened fre- quently. Up to 20 per cent of the hot air can be lost each time the door is opened, so train your- self to use an oven timer. The cost of hot water for the dishwasher is far more expensive than the cost of the motor it- self. Dishwashers gen- erally take about 10- 15 gallons of hot water, regardless of whether they are only slightly full or near capacity. Many dishwashers are now de- signed with the option to turn off the heating ele- ment for drying dishes. This reduces the cost of operation from 3.3 cents per load to 1.7 cents per Bernier honours Terrace Bay Northern Affairs Minister, Leo- Bernier is seen here presenting Reeve Dave Speer the Canadian Flag. .The presentation was made during a dinner in Marathon last load, net including hot _water costs. If your dish- washer does not have this feature, you can open the door as the dryer enters the drying cycle, and allow the dishes to air-dry. Small appliances can be energy-savers if used properly. Items such as slow-cookers, micro- wave ovens, and electric frypans can be very effi- cient. Some small toast- er ovens, however can actually take more ener- gy than the full-sized range for some foods. Before buying small ap- pliances, consider stor- 'age space, safety fea- tures, and the multiple uses the appliance might have. For exam- ple, an electric frypan can be used to reheat leftovers, cook casser- oles, bake pizza, and for stir-frying.

Doris Walton was our convenor for the Fall Fair and along with Marg Gander, Geri Strasberger and Marilyn Chisholm she encouraged us all to do our best for the Auxiliary.

Funding requests stating the pur- pose, nature, dura- tion and cost of the proposed undertaking will be assessed by the Ministry on the basis of existing local develop- ment programmes, and assistance will be tailor- ed to meet individual community circumstan- ces. The programme is de- signed to be flexible and responsive to local needs, and will not dup- licate or overlap exist- ing business develop- ment programmes. The main idea is to help communities to help themselves. Any interested com- munities or community groups should apply to the Ministry of Northern Affairs, through their local Northern Affairs Officer.
