FEEL LIKE A MEMBER?
by Scott Handy, President/CEO
For as long as I’ve been employed
by Cass County Electric Cooperative,
which is fast approaching a third of a
century, October has been designated
as Co-op Month. In fact, the first Coop Month was observed in October of
1964 when then-Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman made the proclamation. (We acknowledge to our
neighbors to the east that Freeman
was Governor of Minnesota prior to
his appointment as Secretary of Agriculture.)
One of the hallmarks of cooperative
business organizations is a commitment to educate members and the
public about cooperatives and the
benefits of being a member of one. We
put a fair amount of effort into that,
but I have to be candid – I’m not sure
we’re really getting through with our
message. In a recent survey, only 25%
of our members surveyed identified
themselves as members or some variation of owner, while 75% identified as
“customers.” On this score, we at CCEC
fall behind the national averages of
40% and 60% respectively.
There may be some logical explanations for this difference – we serve a
larger proportion of city residents as
well as newer members than most
electric cooperatives. But for us, we
think it’s important that our mem-
bers identify themselves as such, and
not as customers. For us, membership
matters. Members are far more likely
to feel engaged with the cooperative
and to be supportive of cooperative
initiatives and goals. Members take an
interest in the operation of their cooperative because they understand they
are owners with a voice, not just consumers of a faceless organization.
Co-op Month of course is not exclusive
to electric cooperatives. You are probably a member of several cooperatives
and just don’t realize it, like the 75% of
our members who see themselves as
customers. Do you do business with a
credit union? Cooperative. Rural water
user? Cooperative. Eat Blue Diamond
almonds or Sunkist oranges? Produced by cooperatives. Buy camping
stuff at REI? Cooperative.
Elsewhere in this issue you’ll find a notice of an upcoming election for CCEC
directors. This is another advantage
of cooperative membership. You get
to elect your peers to the board of
directors through a democratic election process held every year at our
annual meeting. Directors are just
like you and me – they are cooperative members who pay a monthly bill
and experience all the facets of being
a cooperative member. Once elected,
a director serves a three year term and
then has to stand for re-election if he
or she wishes to return to the board.
The nomination and election process is open and transparent, and any
member in good standing who lives in
a district with an election that year is
free to run.
Our annual fall member information
meetings are also featured in this issue. We’ll be covering some important information for members at these
meetings including updates on your
cooperative’s operation and energy
policy matters. That’s another benefit
of cooperative membership – we don’t
hide behind layers of bureaucracy or
reside in some out of state skyscraper.
Your cooperative’s senior management and directors are available to you
in person at these meetings and any
other time and place you prefer.
Are you among the 25% who consider yourselves a member or member/
owner of CCEC? Thank you for understanding the value of membership.
Do you see yourself as a customer or
consumer? We’d like an opportunity
to talk about the cooperative difference during Co-op Month – or any
other time. Thank you for allowing us
to serve your energy needs no matter
what category you place yourself in.
CCEC OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED NOVEMBER 11 FOR VETERANS DAY.

October 2015 Highline Notes 3
A Church in Transit
When a 19th century church weighing several tons needs
to make a 30-plus mile trip while being almost entirely
intact, a lot of people need to be involved. A team of
movers lifts the structure onto a trailer and secures it
before driving it to its destination. Local law enforcement
may coordinate with Department of Transportation
officials in closing off sections of road or controlling
traffic. Local media may cover the move, both ahead of
time and as it is happening, letting drivers know about
delays or areas to avoid. The local electric cooperative
will likely be involved too.
On the first morning of September, the sounds of huge
engines are heard rumbling through the thick fog just
east of South Pleasant Church’s original 130-year location
in Christine, N.D. For a brief moment, the flash of a yellow
strobe light pierces the damp air before a Cass County
Electric bucket truck bursts from the fog.
“Heading this way!” yells lineman Luke Nefzger through
the driver’s side window. He crosses over the interstate,
passing two of his fellow linemen already in place just
to the east. Carrying a long, yellow “hot stick,” crew
foreman Byron Stoffel opens a breaker. Perched high in
a second bucket truck, lineman Josh Bullinger releases
the de-energized power line hanging across 58th Street
in Christine from its pole and it falls slack. The line is
cleared from the road, and a minute later, strapped to the
back of a massive flatbed trailer, South Pleasant emerges
through the haze.
A truly odd scene to the uninformed, the structure seems
twice its actual size as it lumbers across the overpass. The
strobe lights of the lead and follow trucks flash in circles
as the church moves for the first time after over a century
of complete stillness.
Quickly after it passes, Stoffel and Bullinger resecure the
dropped line and restore power before heading to the
next line the church will need to move beneath. That’s
the crew’s assignment for the day; they will spend the
next several hours lowering and raising lines along the
church’s route from Christine to Bonanzaville in West
Fargo. It’s an operation that requires a huge amount of
coordination.
4 Highline Notes October 2015
“The mover will typically have a planned route,” says
Design and Construction Supervisor, Daryl Brandt.
“Then our crew foreman will run the route, checking line
heights and seeing what’s going to need to be moved.”
When the foreman decides which lines will need to be
de-energized, members in the area are notified that they
may experience a power outage the day of the move.
The collaborative effort to move an entire structure
would be severely hindered if not for the skills of the
linecrew in action. Dealing with energized power lines
and heavy equipment is challenging to begin with. In
order to keep the move on schedule, the crews also have
to work quickly while keeping safety ahead of all else.
Though some lines have to be de-energized and
completely removed, that is not always the case; it all
depends on the lines, the location, and the structure being
moved. Sometimes a
low-hanging
neutral
line can be moved while
the remaining lines are
still “hot,” or energized.
Other times linecrews
can even push lines out
of the way using hot
sticks—long, fiberglass
poles
with
special
ends used for safely
conducting work on
energized equipment.
Houses are the usual
subjects
of
large
structure moves such as
these, but the occasional
church proves that no two situations are quite the
same. However, they all require careful planning and
coordination. Even with the most tedious preparation,
adjustments are often needed on the fly, but that’s the
case with most assignments in linework. Regardless of
the task, the linemen of Cass County Electric are always
working to keep things moving, be it electrons down
power lines or one-hundred-year-old churches down old
country roads.

A T TE N T I O N !
A New Department of Energy (DOE) rule
regarding residential water heaters went
into effect in April. So now what?
Residential water heaters
55 gallons and larger
must now use heat-pump
technology in order to
meet new efficiency
standards. This was a
disappointing change for
Cass County Electric and
utilities across the country.
Legislation was also
passed in April which
allows water heaters
without heat-pump
technology to continue
being produced as long
as they are “grid-enabled,”
meaning they MUST
be enrolled in demand
response programs.
Commercial water
heaters, which have a
thermostat capability
of 180 degrees but still
come set at 120 degrees,
are not affected by
the DOE’s rule and are
available to consumers.
>>
>>
>>
Heat-pump water
heaters do not work well
with demand response
programs, like our offpeak program. Resistive
water heaters on demand
response programs help
the overall electric grid to
operate more efficiently,
which helps keep rates
affordable for members.
To meet the “gridenabled” requirement,
water heaters must
be equipped with an
activation lock which
ensures their use in
demand response
programs. Manufacturers
are currently working on
how to implement this
change.
These water heaters are
available over 100 gallons,
are not “grid-enabled,” but
qualify for our residential
off-peak program.
Members may receive a
one-time $150 rebate for
installing either of these
products and enrolling it
in our off-peak program.
• Heavy Duty (commercial) Marathon water heaters
o Available online through Menards and Home Depot, or
through your local contractor
• Westinghouse Light Commercial water heaters
o Available online through Home Depot, or through your local
contractor.

October 2015 Highline Notes 5
-A Busy SummerCass County Electric Cooperative was
involved in multiple events around our
community this summer. While being
dedicated to providing members with
safe, affordable, and reliable electricity, we
also love to give back to the communities
we work and live in. Here are a few of the
things we had going on over the last few
months.
Brat Feed
Our contractor brat feed was a success
yet again. Functioning like a well-oiled
machine, the experienced brat feed
team dished up 800 brats to 450 hungry
attendees!
iPad Winner
In May we began a contest where
members could “like” us on Facebook
for a chance to win an iPad. The contest
came to an end in August, and the winner
was Jordana Edmunds of Fargo.
we participated in Dairy Queen’s Miracle
Treat Day where $1 from the purchase
of every Blizzard goes to the Children’s
Miracle Network.
Great Plains Food Bank & Emergency
Food Pantry
Dozens of employees took turns helping
out at the Great Plains Food Bank and
Emergency Food Pantry this summer.
Meals on Wheels
Two times per month, members of our
engineering team hit the road to deliver
lunches for Meals on Wheels.
Bowls for Babies
This year we painted 6 bowls in the office
to help raise money for March of Dimes.
United Way School Supplies
We gathered up a whole bunch of school
supplies for United Way’s annual school
supply drive.
Miracle Treat Day
A cool treat for an even cooler cause —

FirstLink Silent Auction
An auction basket was donated to
FirstLink for their awareness event, “Speak
Up: Stop Whispering and Start Talking
About Suicide.”
Parades
It was another busy parade season this
summer! We marched in parades in
Davenport, Lisbon, Valley City, Buffalo,
Casselton, Kindred, Enderlin, and West
Fargo.
RR Zoo Day
We sponsored a day at the Red River Zoo
again this year and were happy to see
thousands of members attend!
Power Plant
Over 50 members went on a two day
bus trip to visit our wind and coal energy
facilities. The tour gave members a
firsthand look at the behind-the-scenes
work it takes to ensure the lights come
on when we flip the switch.

October 2015 Highline Notes 7
Hey you, business owner!
Yeah, we’re talking to you.
“But I don’t own a business,” you think. Well, you might
be wrong. If you are reading this, odds are you receive
electricity from Cass County Electric Cooperative. If that’s
the case, you are indeed a business owner. Baffled?
Puzzled? At a loss for words? Fear not! Read on and all
shall become clear.
You see, CCEC is a not-for-profit cooperative business.
We don’t deal out cash to faceless, suit-wearing investors
at the end of the quarter or year. If you pay your electric
bill from us each month, YOU are one of our investors. In
fact, after a period of time, we give money back to you in
the form of capital credits. And guess what—that makes
you an owner. We have a title for you. You are a member.
You are not just a customer. Sure, you pay us for a service
like a typical customer might. But as an investor, owner,
and member of this cooperative, you have a say in what
we do. CCEC is governed by a board of directors—they’re
all members who ran for a position and were elected by
other members. As a member, you can vote each year
for our directors. In fact, you can skip voting altogether
and run for a position on the board if you want. We hold
elections every year at our annual meeting in April.
October is National Cooperative Month, when the
29,000 cooperatives across the country come together
to celebrate our values and the benefits of being a
member. We hope you value being a member of CCEC.
We certainly value providing you with safe, reliable,
and affordable electricity every day. Without you, CCEC
would not exist.
make your voice heard
The looming threat posed by
regulations like the Clean Power
Plan have made one thing clear:
policymakers need to be reminded of
the families and business-owners at
the ends of the lines whose livelihoods
depend on reliable, affordable
electricity.
The Coalition for a Secure Energy
Future is dedicated to enhancing,
preserving, and protecting our
diverse set of energy resources,
including coal-based electricity, to
ensure a continued affordable and
reliable energy supply for families and
businesses in Minnesota and North
Dakota – now and into the future.
Please visit secureenergyfuture.org,
where you can send a message to your
local lawmakers about how important
maintaining
low-cost,
abundant
electricity is to you.
The Cooperative Action
Network is the voice
of America’s electric
cooperatives.
Since
the Clean Power Plan
was first proposed, the
Network has been at
the forefront of letting
the White House know
that these regulations
will not work for electric
cooperatives and our
m e m b e r- c o n s u m e r s .
Perhaps it’s time to start
speaking louder.
Visit action.coop and
click “Take Action” to
speak up again and keep
the message loud and
clear.
Getting people into office who will listen to
the voice of the cooperatives is another part of
the challenge. The Action Committee for Rural
Electrification (ACRE) is the federal Political
Action Committee (PAC) of the National Rural
Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).
ACRE supports candidates for the U.S. House
and Senate—those in office now and running
for office—who will speak for and protect the
interests of electric cooperatives and their
consumer-owners.
Through the ACRE Co-op Owners for Political
Action® program, the 42 million cooperative
consumer-owners across the country can help
support those who will listen—state and federal
officials who will defend local cooperatives and
local communities. For more information and to
get involved in ACRE, contact [email protected]
