August 2006 HIGHLINE NOTES 

 Editorial
Once around the kitchen
Every once in awhile, when our kids were
still living at home (and sometimes now
too) we have “fend for yourself” night at
our house. That means that everyone is
tired after a day of work, no plans have
been made for supper, and well, you’ll
just have to fend for yourself if you want
to eat. In my case, I just empty out all
the leftovers and have a meal of “once
around the kitchen.” Sometimes my con-
coctions turn out ok, sometimes…
I’m at the same sort of decision point
with this month’s editorial – everyone is
tired, no plans were made, you get the
picture. So, what follows is a mixture of
items from “once around the company.”
Energy sales rebounding
January 2006 was the warmest in record-
ed history. In our business, that almost
always means lower energy sales, in this
case almost 10 percent less than January
2005. However, sales have picked up
since then and we are on pace to meet the
sales budget for 2006. This is good news,
as we rely on strong sales to spread the
fixed costs out. With the rest of the sum-
mer predicted to be warmer than normal,
it is possible that we could pull ahead of
budget in the end.
Building plans
As we plan for the future, we are cur-
rently looking at three building projects.
Those of you familiar with our operations
facilities in Arthur and Kindred know
that they’ve been around for a long time
and their age is becoming apparent. The
equipment our line workers use is larger
and sometimes has difficulty even fitting
through the doors. Our maintenance work
has increased and will keep increasing,
and the maintenance crews also rely on
the service centers for storage and as a
base of operations. The time has come to
replace these old buildings with newer,
more functional ones.
We’re also giving some thought to
 HIGHLINE NOTES August 2006
building an additional office building on
property owned by CCEC to the west of
the Fargo Service Center. We will at some
point need additional office space in the
Fargo area. The more immediate need,
however, is for IdeaOne Telecom, which
is growing rapidly. As half-owner of
IdeaOne, we’re interested in its continued
success. This building, if it proceeds, will
be funded almost entirely by IdeaOne’s
lease payments and CCEC’s share of
IdeaOne’s profits.
These wind energy
pioneers helped
get the program
off the ground and
should be proud to
have been a part of
this early effort to
harvest the wind.

Wind energy
Minnkota Power Cooperative’s Infin-
ity Wind Energy program has been very
successful. The two turbines, located
near Valley City and Petersburg, were the
first two utility-scale units built in North
Dakota and have produced slightly more
energy than predicted. Excellent perfor-
mance and mechanical reliability, plus
a higher-priced electricity market, have
allowed the subscription price for Infinity
to be reduced steadily since they were
built.
In fact, CCEC’s board has acted to
lower the subscription price once again,
to $0.50 per month per 100 kWh block
effective later this summer. CCEC mem-
bers originally signed up for about 1,100
100 kWh/month Infinity subscriptions,
representing a majority of the output
of the Valley City turbine. These wind
energy pioneers helped get the program
off the ground and should be proud to be
a part of this early effort to harvest the
wind.
Minnkota is now in discussions
to get a large wind farm constructed
in North Dakota. Not all of the details
regarding this project are available as of
this writing, but it’s likely that Minnkota
will participate in a major wind farm
project that will be up and running by the
end of 2007.
We are now studying ways to further
promote the development of all forms of
renewable – watch for more news in the
future on how CCEC members can help
with this effort as well.
Well, that’s the news from Kindred.
By the time you read this summer will be
2
/3 over, harvest will be under way, and
I’ll have a better plan for future editorial
topics.

 Cover Story
Youth Tour returns from
Washington, D.C.
Ashley Kaspari entered the Rural Electric Youth Tour essay Ashley Kaspari
contest last February, which was sponsored by CCEC. Her essay is a junior at
earned her a trip to Washington, D.C., this June. Ashley kept a Lisbon High
journal while experiencing the sights of Washington, D.C., and School
the following article is comprised of excerpts from her journal.

Day 1: Friday, June 9, 2006
Well, what can I say, I was totally
pumped! The day had finally come to
start my journey to Washington, D.C.,
even though we
weren’t leaving until
the next day. I had
an interview at 2
p.m. for my delegate
application for the
NRECA’s Youth
Leadership Council!
After my interview,
I went to orientation,
met some people,
including my fellow
winners and chap-
erones! They are so
cool. I am so excited
to leave tomorrow.
Day 2: Saturday, June 10, 2006
Well, I finally got to leave good ‘ol North
Dakota. We sat in the Bismarck airport
for a few hours and all of us delegates
started to get to know one another. I
could tell we were all going to become
awesome friends. We flew from Bis-
marck to Minneapolis, where we met up
with Montana delegates and also the one
delegate from Idaho. Then we headed
out to Washington, D.C. We finally got
off our plane, collected our luggage, met
our bus driver for the week, Mr. Clark,
and checked into our gorgeous hotel! We
were all excited for the next day and tried
to get as much sleep as possible.
Day 3: Sunday June 11, 2006
Our first day of full touring started out
with going to a two-story McDonald’s.
Needless to say, we were impressed!
After McDonald’s, we visited the Monu- we toured the Supreme Court, which was
ment Mall, which was so cool. History is cool and the Library of Congress. The
truly more real when you see everything Library was so big! The paintings and
that your textbooks talk about! I saw everything else were so beautiful. After

 CCEC will be sponsoring another trip

this sounds like something you would be
interested in and you are going to be a
junior or senior in high school in the fall
of 2007, keep watching future issues of

It is an experience that many
participants never forget. In fact, Ashley
gives this advice to future Youth Tour
participants, “Above all, make friends
with everyone because the people you
travel with are pretty cool. Take way too
many pictures and learn as much as
you possibly can because there is some
AWESOME history in Washington, D.C.”

which was very cool. Then to complete
our night, we went and toured the Jeffer-
son and Roosevelt Monuments. They are
so beautiful at night, it’s unbelievable.
Day 6: Wednesday, June 14, 2006
I was so excited this morning to go to
the Pentagon! I could hardly believe that
we were going to get to tour the area.
We even got to stand in the spot where
the plane crashed. We were also allowed
inside the memorial room they had built
for those who had died that day. Next we
ate at Union Station. There were so many
people! And then finally, we went to
Arlington Cemetery. I believe Arlington
was the most memorable place I’ve ever
been. I couldn’t believe how many tombs
had no names on them and I was totally
awed by the changing of
the guard.
Day 7: Thursday,
June 15, 2006
This morning we got to
see the White House. It
was very pretty and, of
course, I took pictures of
the secret service on the
roof! Then we were off
again for a quick tour of
Ford’s Theater, which was
very interesting. From
there, we got to have
lunch at the Hard Rock
Café. Next, we went to
the Smithsonian National
Museums. I went to the
Air and Space Museum
and also to the Science
Museum. Both were
very impressive and very
educational. After that, we headed to the
International Spy Museum, which was
very cool and then to Ben’s Chili Bowl
for supper. Ben’s Chili Bowl was awe-
some! It has been featured on Oprah and
Bill Cosby eats there all the time!
Upon returning home Ashley writes:
My favorite part of the youth tour would
definitely have to be Arlington Cemetery.
It was so mind-blowing to see all the
graves that belonged to people who have
allowed for the people in
this country to live free
lives. Also, the chang-
ing of the guard is such a
respectful way in which to
honor all the soldiers that
have lost their lives. And
of course, on a final note,
I also loved bus counts.
Even though we did them
about one hundred times,
we only got it right twice.
Cass County Electric Co-
operative was represented
by number 36!
It seems like “Thank
you” is so insignificant for
the memories you have al-
lowed me to experience.
I met so many people
who have influenced my
life and helped make so
many amazing memories.
Also, the things I got to see were out of
this world!
Arlington Cemetery is one I will
never forget. Seeing all the graves of the
soldiers who gave their lives was heart
wrenching.
Thank you so much for giving me
this opportunity of a lifetime.

Energy $aving Tip of the Month

Remember ceiling fans cool people, not rooms, so turn
them off when you aren’t there and watch your energy
savings add up.
Get the most out of your ceiling fan
Ceiling fans can significantly reduce the need for air conditioning.
By using a ceiling fan, you can create a more comfortable envi-
ronment when the ambient temperature is 82°F and 80 percent
humidity. The average ceiling fan allows the homeowner to raise
the air conditioning set point temperature by 4°F. This can result
in significant cost savings because each degree a thermostat is set
above 78°F saves money.
To get the best performance from your ceiling fan, it should
be mounted 8 to 10 inches from the ceiling. This will maximize
air movement and cool more efficiently. In the summer, run the
fan in the counter-clockwise direction; it will create a “wind
chill” effect. In the winter, run the fan clockwise to force warm
air against the ceiling and down the walls.

10 HIGHLINE NOTES August 2006

 Q:  How did Wattson
get his name?

A: He was named
after the unit of
measurement used for
electricity: Watts!

Electricity is measured in units of power called watts. One watt is a very small amount of power. A kilowatt repre-
sents 1,000 watts. A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is equal to the energy of 1,000 watts working for one hour. The amount
of electricity a power plant generates or a member uses over a period of time is measured in kWh. Kilowatt-hours
are determined by multiplying the number of kWs required by the number of hours of use. For example, if you use
a 40-watt light bulb 5 hours a day, you have used 200 watts of power, or 0.2 kWh of electrical energy. To find out
how many kWh your family uses each month, look at your Cass County Electric bill.
