OUR COVER

REMC Lineman David Guthrie is geared up and ready to go! We celebrate April as National Lineman Appreciation Month by saluting all of our employees who deal with live power lines to keep you with safe, reliable electric service.

April is NationalLineman

AppreciationMonth!

Mark McKinney, General Manager

April is National Lineman Appreciation Month and rural electric cooperatives across the country will celebrate by recognizing the men and women who work in this role each and every day.

Jackson County REMC will honor the dedicated individuals who work to keep the lights on. We proudly recognize all electric linemen for the services they perform by being available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in a variety of weather conditions to keep power flowing and to protect the public’s safety.

Our line workers are the first responders of our electric distribution system, and when there is a problem, they respond. The work linemen perform can be danger-ous, but they power through to ensure safe and reliable service for our members.

Jackson County REMC line employees maintain approximately 2,900 miles of line across our service territory. No matter if it is overhead or underground wires, pri-mary or secondary voltages, our linemen help make it possible for Jackson County REMC to deliver the advantages of electricity to its members reliably, economically, and responsibly.

If you get a chance, I invite you to take a moment and thank a lineman for the work they do. Throughout the month of April, you can also use #thankalineman to show your support for those individuals who light our lives.

The 2016 Jackson County REMC Annual Meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, July 21, at the Jackson County Fair-grounds. One of the main features of the meeting will be the election of three directors to three-year terms on the coopera-tive’s board. Nominating committees were selected earlier this month and will be preparing slates of director candidates for the election.

The Bylaws of Jackson County REMC establish requirements for those members nominated for service on the board of direc-tors. These requirements include:

l A director candidate must be a member of Jackson County REMC.

l The primary residence of a director candidate must be in the district he or she is to represent.

l A director candidate must receive electricity from Jackson County REMC at his or her primary residence.

l A director candidate may not be a close relative (spouse, child, grandchild, great-grandchild, parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, nephew or niece by blood or by law) of an incumbent director or of an employee of the REMC.

l A director candidate must not have been an employee of the Rural Electric within the last five years.

l A director candidate must not be employed by or have a financial interest in a competing enterprise.

Directors to represent Districts One, Four and Seven will be elected at the 2016 meeting.

Questions about the nomination or election processes should be directed to REMC General Manager Mark McKinney.

Printed copies of the Bylaws are available on request.

Requirements for serving as a directorof the REMC are announced

Selecting nominating committees is first step in preparing for election of directors at the 2016 Annual Meeting

quite effective. Our right-of-way staff has been trained and certified by the Indiana State Chemist’s Office.

The selective herbicides used remove only unwanted weeds, brush and trees from rights-of-way. Ongoing research results show that spraying programs, like that of the REMC, enhance wildlife habitat by promoting grasses, low-growing shrubs and other ground cover that birds, deer and small animals prefer.

This year’s spraying program will include the following areas:

Jackson County - Brown-stown, Driftwood, Grassy Fork, Hamilton, Redding, Salt Creek and Washington Townships

Brown County - Van Buren Township

Jennings County - Marion, Spencer and Geneva Town-ships, including the Country Squire Lakes complex.

REMC customers will be noti-fied in advance of work being started on their circuit. Please give us a call (800-288-4458) if you have any questions re-garding the 2016 right-of-way spraying program.

bicide spraying program will begin in early May and will in-clude approximately 570 circuit miles of treatment.

The REMC will again be us-ing it’s own equipment and em-ployees to perform the spray-ing, which has been proved

Jackson County REMC’s tree and brush maintenance pro-gram represents a significant investment, the costs of which we feel provides you with the reliable electric service that meets your needs.

Special Bill Credit on your May Bill: The Co-op Difference

The cooperative business model is built upon the foun-dation of clarity of purpose. Because cooperatives are non-profits owned by their members, they invest to pro-vide and improve services that benefit members and the communities they serve.

Hoosier Energy, our power supplier, is also a coop-erative. Jackson County REMC and 17 other electric distribution cooperatives own Hoosier Energy and each member cooperative elects a representative to sit on the Hoosier Energy Board of Directors. Upon approval from the Hoosier Energy Board of Directors, each year Hoosier Energy returns operating margins in excess of 4 percent of total revenue to member distribution cooperatives in the form of a special bill credit. The final amount is deter-mined based on the audited financial results for a year and applied to March power bill. The credit to Jackson County REMC will be $421,462.80.

At the February 2016 Board meeting, your Board of Directors decided to refund the Hoosier Energy special bill credit directly to its member-owners based on 2015 reve-nue. This special bill credit will show up on your May 2016 bill. This refund to you reflects one of the direct benefits of being a member-owner of your electric cooperative.

Kid Power!When lightning roars,

GO INDOORS!Some facts about lighting

from www.kidsdiscover.com

How hot is a lightning bolt? Only about 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit — roughly five times hotter than the surface of the sun!

Lightning flashes more than 3 mil-lion times a day worldwide — that’s about 40 times a second. Not all those flashes hit the ground — some hap-pen between or inside clouds.

An average lightning bolt can release enough energy to operate a 100-watt light bulb for more than three months straight (about 250 kilowatt-hours of energy).

Lightning starts in cumulonimbus clouds — aka thunderheads — which have a positive charge up top and a negative charge below. We don’t know how the charges start, but water drop-lets and ice crystals carry them.

That negative charge in the cloud creates a positive charge on Earth below, and the two charges start trying to connect and create a circuit. Have you ever seen electrical sparks jump across a space? It’s like that, but way bigger.

The air between the clouds and Earth blocks the connection — until the charge gets so strong that an electrical impulse called a “stepped leader” shoots down from the cloud.

The leader drops in steps of about

150 feet each at about 136,000 mph, until it almost reaches the ground. That’s when an electrical charge called a streamer rises up to meet it and complete the circuit.

Then a bolt of electricity streaks back up along the leader’s path at about 62 million mph and creates lightning. More bolts can rise up the same path again right after the first one. Because it all happens so fast, all we see is one bolt of lightning.

All that energy travels along a path about as wide as a thumb!

The streamer can travel up through a building, a tree, or even a person, which can be fatal.

Lightning kills about 2,000 people a year, so stay inside during lightning storms. If you hear thunder, seek safety by heading for the nearest building or hard-topped automobile.

Source: www.kidsdiscover.com

How do you know if lightning is nearby?If you see dark clouds, then lightning could be present, but the best thing you can do is to listen for thunder. If you hear thunder, then you need to go indoors or get in a car. Don’t be outside, where lightning could strike! If your hair stands on end or your skin starts to tingle, lightning maybe about to strike. Get down on your hands and knees and keep your head tucked in. Do not lay flat, because it can give lightning a better chance of strike you.

How far away can you see lightning and hear thunder?

Within those distant thunderstorms, the lightning bolts can be seen as much as 100 miles from us, depending on the height of the bolt, the clarity of the air, and our elevation. Thunder, in comparison, has a much shorter range of detection - usually less than 15 miles in a quiet rural setting and under 5 miles in a noisy city environment.

Kids in thekitchenby Betty Baute

Member Services Representative

One of my favorite TV shows is the Fox network’s “Master Chef Junior.” I am always amazed at the culinary skills of the 8 to 13 year old kids who prepare dishes worthy of a gourmet restaurant!

Your young cooks don’t need to make five-star dishes, but they should learn some kitchen basics as soon and they can measure and mix. More skills, such as slicing, dicing and using the stove, oven and microwave can be added as they get older. This month’s recipes are sure to get your young-sters on their way to becoming great kitchen assistants.

Coming in May

We’ll have a “berry good time” when we share some of our favorite strawberry, raspberry and blackberry recipes just before picking season arrives.

Energy saving tip

Did you know that you can save about 50 cents per wash load of cloth-ing when you dry it on your outdoor clothesline? You’ll save even more when you line-dry heavy clothing such as jeans and bath towels. Just let the wind and the sun do the job!

Rice Krispie treatsThis old standby is great for even the youngest of cooks

3 tablespoons butter 4 cups JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows 6 cups Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® cereal

With adult help, melt butter in a large pan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Add cereal. Stir until well coated.Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares. Best if served the same day. (MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: In microwave-safe bowl heat but-ter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 and 3 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.) Yield - about 12 servings.

M&Ms CookiesOlder kids will need some adult supervision when using the oven

1 cup margarine, softened 2-1/4 cups flour1 cup light brown sugar, packed 1 teaspoon baking soda1/2 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 14-ounce bag of plain M&Ms 2 teaspoons real vanilla

Cream margarine and sugars, then add eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients, and then add 1/2 of the package of M&Ms. Drop by teaspoonful onto greased cookie sheet, placing remaining M&Ms on top of each cookie. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or lightly browned. Yield - about 5 dozen cookies.NOTE: Chocolate chips can be substituted for the M&Ms.

Fun Fruit DipThis recipe is all about learning to measure and mix

1/2 cup marshmallow cream1/4 cup creamy peanut butter1 teaspoon lemon juice2 teaspoons water

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl with a lid. Stir with a whisk or fork until ingredients are well blended. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Serve with assorted fresh fruit pieces cut up by an adult (apples, bananas, strawberries, etc.). Yield - about 1 cup dip.

“Elections aren’t won and lost in November anymore,” Connor said. “They’re really decided in primaries months sooner, when fewer voters recognize the opportunity to vote, fewer participate and only a handful of issues are up for debate.” This results in a Congress where more members represent the extremes of each politi-cal party and are less inclined to seek compromise and bipartisan solutions to problems. “The electric cooperative movement has always been non-partisan, and our communities are facing too many challenges to have a government crippled by bickering,” Coleman said. “When our parents and grandparents set out to electrify rural America, they didn’t have time to ask the person next to them about their views on economic or social policy. Their economic policy was ‘we need to save this community’ and their social policy was ‘let’s do it together.’ I hope the Co-ops Vote program can help rekindle that spirit of coopera-tion.”

For more information about Co-ops Vote and the impact of these eight key issues on the people of Jackson County REMC, visit vote.coop.

America’s rural electric coopera-tives have launched a non-partisan, nationwide effort to promote civic engagement and voter participation in the communities they serve. Jeffrey Connor, interim CEO of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Associa-tion, unveiled the Co-ops Vote pro-gram at the association’s 74th annual meeting in New Orleans. “Through Co-ops Vote, we want to help our members know when elections are, what’s at stake and how to make their voices heard,” Connor said. “Who folks vote for isn’t really as important as the fact that they do vote.”

The Co-ops Vote initiative will focus on eight issues that are important to health and prosperity of communities served by electric cooperatives:

• Rural Broadband Access• Hiring and Honoring Veterans • Low-Income Energy Assistance• Cybersecurity • Water Regulation• Rural Health Care Access • Affordable and Reliable Energy• Renewable Energy

“Electric cooperatives are perfectly designed to help address these impor-tant issues,” Connor said. “We can make politics ‘local’ again because civic engagement is part of our DNA.”

A new website, vote.coop, offers co-op members information on the voter registration process in their state, dates of elections, information on the candidates running in those elections, and explanations of the eight key

issues the campaign aims to address. In keeping with its non-partisan goals, the initiative will not be endorsing specific candidates for office.

Mel Coleman, president of NRECA and CEO of North Arkansas Electric Cooperative said the program would help ensure the voices of rural Ameri-cans are heard. “We want to make sure our government knows that rural America matters,” Coleman said. “This campaign isn’t about divisive, partisan issues. It’s about real people in real places facing real challenges. It’s about our co-ops living out the principles of our movement: Concern for community and democratic con-trol.”

Connor cited partisan gridlock in Washington, the explosive growth of money in politics and the effects of gerrymandering as important reasons for launching the program. In 2014, 318 of 435 House races had a margin of victory of 20 points or more , and 30 House candidates – 16 Democrats and 14 Republicans representing 11 states – did not even face an oppo-nent in the general election .
