6 Stampede of Values, Supplement of The Canadian Statesman/Newcastle Independent, Wednesday, July 17,1991 appliances, be careful not to overload the electrical circuits. For instance, don't use your toaster oven with another high- wattage appliance on the same outlet. Phife Basement You know your kids are growing growing up when you find yourself in an empty house in the summer. Our 15-year-old son Kyle has gone off to baseball camp and we're expecting a call from his twin sister Belinda'to let us know she's arrived at a friend's cottage for the week. Em and I have both taken some holidays, too. We're getting up when we feel like it, eating when we feel like it, and generally loafing around and enjoying it. . But we both know by die end of the week we'll be craning our necks for a glimpse of Belinda coming up the driveway and counting the days until Kyle comes home. Funny, isn't it, how you can't wait to unload them for a while, but then as soon as they're gone, you miss 'em. It's been hot as blazes lately, and Em was saying that she wished we didn't have to turn on the oven. "Well," I said, "We don't. There's just the two of us - let's see if we can get through the week without it." And Em said it was a good cooling idea and one that will" probably save us electricity too. With our toaster oven, the slow cooker and the electric frying pan, we can avoid using the oven entirely. I started getting interested in this energy sav- "ing/cooling challenge, so I went down to my basement library of pamphlets from The Hydro to find out some other neat things you should know about small appliances. When you buy small appliances, appliances, look for the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) label. It's required by law and tells you that the appliances conform to the national safety standards. As far as saving energy energy goes, small appliances are winners, especially your slow cooker ("crock-pot") and your microwave oven. We've ordered a microwave, as a matter of fact, but won't be getting it for a while. When you use your small So there we were in the kitchen getting dinner ready when the phone rang. We knew it was Belinda, and both of us almost broke our necks to be the first to get to the phone. We already miss her. Funny, isn't it? This newspaper, in conjunction with Ontario Hydro, is bringing you Phil's Basement to help "bring home" ideas on how to save energy. To receive the brochures "Energy Efficiency in Appliances", call Ontario Hydro at 1-800-263-9000 and tell them Phil sent you. ****** FOR THE BEST DEAL IN TOWN Sidewalk Sale SPECIALS Medium Ground Beef 1.79 id. 3.93 kg.
