Page 8, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, August 15, 1984 Dehydrate fruits for use later At this time of year most people take full advantage of the wond- erful selection of fresh fruits available. These luscious fruits can also be preserved for use later in the year by freezing, canning or de- hydrating. . Dehydrating invol- ves circulating warm air over and around thinly sliced fruits and vege- tables to extract all the moisture (the major cause of spoilage in foods).

THANK YOU We would like to give our sincere thanks our relatives and friends of Schreiber, Terrace Bay and Rossport for mass _ cards, to the funeral attendance at the funeral Chicoine of Thunder Bay. Your kindness thoughtfulness is donations, home and of Peter greatly Lucie Chicoine's family -- and Estelle and Warren Morrill hanging the produce in a warm, dry breezy place. The modern method of dehydrating is not only more hygenic, but is simple with good results easily achieved. Fruits and vegetables can be sliced thinly in no time at all in a Cuisinart, then dried in an electric de- hydrating unit. If you're lucky enough to own a_ convection oven, you can also use it as a dehydrator. The portable convection oven has a heating ele- ment and a rear mount- ed fan to circulate warm air during the lengthy dehydration process. Fruits and vegetables are placed on special wire mesh racks which allow the air to circul- ate around the food. These racks can be spe- cially purchased to fit your convection oven, or you can use your exist- ing racks by wrapping them with fine wire mesh. The temperature is set at approximately 60 deg. C (140 deg. F) and the fan set to run for about eight hours - the timing will vary accord- ing to the texture and moisture content of the Ray Brunet THENEWDEMOCRATS LES NEO- DEMOCRATES Now, more than ever, we need a strong voice speaking up for us in Ottawa.

For example, apples and bananas take five to eight hours; grapes take the longest time - 10 to 20 hours depending on their size. The oven door is posi- tioned to allow the mois- ture to escape. After dehydration, the pro- duce should be stored in airtight containers in a cool, dry place. Fruits and vegetables preserved by dehydra- tion retain their natural color, flavor and nutri- tional value. They're easy to store as they are lightweight and take up little space. To rehy- drate fruits, place in a shallow non-metallic dish and add just enough water to cover. Let stand two hours until fruit has plumped and OPP doubled in size. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels. Dehydra- ted fruits may be added to many recipes calling for fresh fruit, e.g. cakes, cookies, muf- fins, salads, even savory dishes. Vegetables dehydr- ated in a convection oven can be used in soups, stews and casser- oles; these do not need to be rehydrated as they will plump up during the cooking process.

Drinking driver alert An Ontario Provin- cial Police alert. for drinking drivers this summer resulted in 1,210 persons being charged with drinking and driving offences in a 28 day period in July. OPP officers stopped and checked more than 64,000 vehicles from July 2 to July 29. As well as alcohol-related crimi- nal offences, 1,751 char- ges were laid under the provincial Liquor Li- cence Act as a result of stop-checks. A.L.E.R.T. (Alcohol Level Evaluation Road- side Tester) devices are a key ingredient in the OPP's summer blitz. This portable machine measures the quantity of alcohol in a driver's body by breath analy- sis. A "fail" reading on the A.L.E.R.T. re- sults in the driver being taken for a formal breathalyzer examina- tion. A "warn" reading, which means a driver's blood-alchol level is between 50 and 99 milli- grams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood (50- 99 mg per cent), is suffi- cient grounds for a po- lice officer to issue a 12-hour suspension. In the same 28-day period, 1,874 12-hour licence suspensions were or- dered. The legal im- pairment level is 80 mg per cent. OPP Commissioner 'Archie Ferguson said, "We've had very posi- tive results in one area where a 12-month cont- rolled anti-drinking and driving program shows fatal accidents reduced by 36 per cent; alcohol was involved in 15 per cent of those accidents, as against 40 per cent in the same area in the previous 12 months."' Spot checks will. be maintained for the re- mainder of the summer, with particular emph- asis on the Civic Holiday and Labor Day week- ends.
