Energy conservation tactics

by Len Harrington

I hope you’re doing
your part toward energy
conservation, J know I
am.

For example, I have
stopped using an electric
tooth brush. I meant to
do this years ago, but I
always got a large charge
scrubbing my dentures
while they flopped
around in my mouth.

I used a soft brush to
prevent chipping, and
lots of paste. When I’d
pull the brush, my
mouth was so full of
foam that I looked likea
rabid Rin Tin Tin with
loose dentures.

Now I haul them out
and use my 30-year-old
RCMP issue brush,

I’ve even stashed my
electric carving knife un-
til Bennett tells us happy
days are here again. The
knife didn’t get that
much use anyway. It was
helpful for my over-
cooked roasts and home-

Len’s pen

baked cakes that failed.

My hot comb is no
longer in heat, and my
hooded hair dryer (in
which I looked stunning)
is now being used for a
shower cap.

And if you’ve noticed
me lately, you’ll see my
hair is no longer curly.

When I read in bed at
night, J usea flashlight. I
ran out of batteries the
other night while enjoy-
ing chapter 12 of The
Happy Hooker, so I lit a
candle and stuck it on
my tummy.

The book was so good
that I didn’t even know I
was suffering: third-
degree burns from drip-
ping wax.

I’m using the old hand
crank mixer, too. My
pancakes are lumpier,
but I realize I’m helping

In council

The Regional District

of Kitimat-Stikine has

requested that the
District of Terrace
undertake a feasibility
study to assess the-poten-

{

tial of supplying com-
munity water to Kalum
Lake Drive residents. At
its Feb. 24 meeting coun-
cil referred the request to
the Department of Pub-
lic Works for examina-
tion,

my country as I try to
swallow un-mixed mix.

I've turned my ther-
mostat down -to 65
degrees and bought a
bigger teddy bear to
snuggle up to at night. I
had to remove the bear’s
eyes cause I was getting a
permanent indentation
on my cheek.

I've even quit oiling
the wheels on my golf
cart, boxed up my parlor
putting machine, pulled
the plug on my electric
Spiro Agnew clock and
given my body massage
machine its last shot of
juice,

I've switched to in-
stant from fresh perked
coffee. I even use hot tap
water instead of boiling
the kettle. (My taste buds
don't know the differ-

ence as they died years
ago).

All my friends who ex-
pected the usual Har-
rington Christmas pre-
sent of a hand-made ash
tray were disappointed
(happy?) this time. My
portable electric potter's
wheel is now the living
room coffee table.

To conserve energy, I
have even extinguished
the night light in my
bathroom. It was only
there to improve my aim
anyhow,

I even extinguished the
light in my fridge. This
caused a bit of problem
the first night I went for
a midnight snack.

Instead of a ham-
tomato-mayonaise sand-
wich, I endec up witha
Taw bacon-turnip-
chocolate pudding sand-
wich. It tasted pretty
good, so I had the same
for lunch the next day.

Terrace Inland

Kenworth Bantams
clinch berth a
in hockey finals

The :Terrace Inland
Kenworth Bantams went
through the six-team
zone minor hockey
playoffs with relative
ease late last month, and
won a berth in their two
double “AA’’ finals at
Saanich starting March
23.

Teams were split into
groups of three for
round-robin action. The
top two — Terrace and
Prince Rupert — then
advanced to a sudden-
death final for the cham-
pionship.

In the round-robin,
Terrace started with an
8-3 win over the host
team from Houston.
Jason Wiley had the hot
stick as he blasted home
five goals. John Almgren
chipped in with a pair
while Mitch Shinde had
one,

Terrace won their
round-robin series with a
9-1 shellacking of Burns
Lake. Shinde headed the
scoring with a hat trick.
Derek Phillips had two,
and John Lukasser, Rod
Epp, Robert Holmberg
and Wiley all chipped in
with one each.

The Kenworth kids
really turned it on
against their arch rivals
from the coast in the

1983 FORD LTD

deciding contest. They
blasted Rupert 17-5.

Wiley had another
five-goal performance,
while Phillips and
Holmberg came through
with three-goal efforts.
It was two for Almgren,
and one each for Epp,
Shinde, Graham Thomas
and Ken Lavalle,

‘In other games, Van-
derhoof downed Kitimat
9-3, Houston edged
Burns Lake 5-4, Kitimat
took. Prince Rupert 5-4,
and Rupert defeated
Vanderhoof 8-4,
