USING A GRINDER, Mt. Hood Rock Club

work of nature to reveal colorful patterns
in what appeared to be “blah” rock.

Tilgner’s collection includes

areas, prim arily in Eastern
Oregon, yield specific types of

the best shape for the finished

Sadly, few seem w illing to
forego the washing of cars,
watering of ornamental plants
and grass and other highly
wasteful practices.
In this last water year we
received only about one-third
the rain fall we would normally
expect. If our depleted snow
fields are not replenished by
adequate preceiptation our
future electrical power picture
w ill look bleak indeed.
The Northwest region, of
which Clackamas County is a
substantial part, is now under
stage two of voluntary cur
tailment, in accordance with
the plan proposed by the North
west E lectricity Task Force.
When did we enter stage two?
When the Task Force deter
mined there was a 60 per cent
chance, that is, better than
even odds, of implementing
stage one of mandatory cur
tailment.
So what can we do? We can
reduce our consumption of the
precious liquid through con
servation of both electricity
and fresh water.
There’s money to save as
well.
PGE has quite a few simple
ideas that w ill give instant
returns for the effort. Try
turning back your thermostats
during the daytime. The
potential savings is 3.1 per cent
for each degree. For example a
drop from 68F to 65F results in
about a 9 per cent savings.
Set the thermometer even
lower at night and save more.
PGE estimates a 13 per cent
savings for every 10 degrees of
nighttime reduction. Or turn off
the heat together and buy an
electric blanket.
Studies show that an electric
blanket only uses one dollar of
electricity per month. No
heating system in the world can
match that!
You can gain a 3 per cent
savings for every 10 degrees
you reduce the setting of your
water heater. If you drop the
temperature to 120 degrees,
down from the standard 140
degrees, you pocket a 6 per cent
savings.
Have you considered water
flow restrictors? The potential
savings is a whopping 44 per
cent. And several restrictors on
the market still retain adequate
pressure and water for showers
at low flows of 3 gallons per
minute.
You can turn off your electric
water heater at the main panel
if you’re going to be gone more
than three days.
And what about electric
lights? For years we’ve won
dered just when to turn off the
light to save electricity and
when to leave it on to avoid
burning it out. PGE gives this
simple rule. “ Turn off in
candescent lighting anytime
i t ’s not in use and turn off
fluorescent lighting if the area
is to be vacant more than 15
minutes.”
Wash only fu ll loads of
dishes. A dishwasher uses 14
gallons of steam ing hot
water . . . for one dish or a full
load.
Wash clothes in cold water
where possible and (keeping in
mind there are fewer rainy
days in fall than spring) try
where possible to dry your
wash on a clothes line. That’s
free energy. And the clean
clothes smell terrific.
These few ideas should keep
you busy for a week, then we’ll
try some more.
Think rain.
