Re: Kyle Finley article concerning GFCIs
in the April Adams Outlet
Can you please explain why GFCIs are
needed in receptacles? They may or may
not activate during a rain or dampness both inside and
outside the house. It causes so much trouble, especially if
one is outside and they do not work. It results in a lot of
steps. I lived a long time without them with no trouble.
A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter)
reduces the risk of electrocution. The
National Electrical Code requires GFCI
protection for receptacles (outlets)
located outdoors, in bathrooms, garages,
kitchens, crawl spaces, unfinished
basements, and near swimming pools.
(Basically, everywhere you might
find water or dampness.) A GFCI
will trip (shut down the receptacle)
when the amount of electrical current going out differs
slightly from the amount of current going back into
the receptacle. This means current is leaking from the
circuit. Where it is leaking is very important! If a person’s
body provides a path to ground for this leakage, the
person could be injured, burned, severely shocked or
electrocuted. If a GFCI is continuously tripping, it
could be caused by a ground fault or damage to the
insulation inside the equipment you are using. Do not
remove the GFCI protection. It could save your life!
Your April 2010 edition of the Adams Outlet was very
inspiring. The recipes in the edition were great.
Wanted to say thank you to Barbara Hooper for
her recipe she submitted for the Peanut Butter Pie. That
was awesome. I did try another version of it but instead
of using peanut butter, I used pumpkin. That was
awesome too.
Again, thanks for the recipe.
Roy Unglesbee
I just wanted to thank you again for sponsoring Kyle and
the Live Line assembly.
The students talked about it all day. We appreciate
all you do especially your continued support of Quincy
Public Schools.
Sincerely,
Diane Glaub
Thank you for the $700 (Penny Power)
grant to help us purchase puppets and

A Smarter System for AEC
Thanks to a Smart Grid Grant
by Jim Thompson PE
General Manager
The Cooperative
received a smart
grid grant from
the Department
of Energy (DOE).
The Cooperative
submitted a
joint application
through Cooperative Research
Network (CRN) with several
cooperatives across the
United States. The
Cooperative applied
for the grant to help
provide better service
to our members. It was
an opportunity to move
to the next level in
member service and help
us leverage our existing
technology. The grant actually
consists of two projects – distribution
automation and smart metering.
Distribution Automation – The
Cooperative will be installing two
automatic switches to our heavily
loaded area on the east side of
Quincy. This technology will
improve restoration times when
members are faced with an outage
by automatically switching members
to an alternate feed without any
human intervention. The Cooperative
uses this technology at the Quincy
Regional Airport to make sure
service is not lost to them for more
than a few seconds. This technology
improves our commercial members’
ability to keep business operating for
consumers.
Smart Metering – The
Cooperative wants to provide more
real time data to the members so
they can take a more active role in
managing their usage. The goal is to
pilot 100 members to try real time
pricing. Electricity is one of the
few commodities remaining where
consumers do not have any feedback
on price or amount of usage until they
receive the electric bill a month later.
By providing energy consumption and
pricing data, our members can
take an active role in saving
money and managing
consumption. We see
the industry moving in
this direction where
members will have
more information to
make decisions. In
addition to the data,
the technology will have
the ability to control loads
down line of the meter such as
water heaters, smart thermostats, air
conditioners, etc. if the member
so desires.
The project will take approximately three years to complete.
The distribution automation project
will be completed first. The smart
metering will take some time due
to the complexity of the integration
of the technologies. The grant pays
$0.50 on the dollar for material
and labor. Much of the material
purchased as part of the grant are
items the Cooperative would need
to purchase anyway over the next
several years such as meters, master
station upgrades, modules, software
upgrades, etc. This grant provides us
an opportunity to lower our overall
cost and advance our service to
our members.

From behind the wooden fence, I
watch in awe as the Arabian Stallion
Echshahlon, rears on command,
his front legs reaching into the air.
There’s just something majestic
about an Arabian Stallion. Donna
Woods smiles and greets him as he
returns calmly to a standing position.
Carol Cloud watches beside me,
equally impressed, and proud. Both
Donna and Carol are bursting with
joy in anticipation of some thrilling
events soon to take place.
Donna and Jim Woods are the
owners of Arabian Woods Horse
Farm and Horsin’ Around Day
Camps. Carol Cloud boards her
Arabian horse, Khan, at Arabian
Woods.
Last June, Carol began leasing
Mya, a champion halter mare to
breed with Echshahlon, who has
sired many winners in halter and
performance. Arabian
Woods’ stallion,
Echshahlon, is the son
of the famous stallion
Bey Shah and champion
mare Halana. Bey Shah
was a Reserve U.S.
National Champion and
sired 320 champion
horses. Halana is a
Canadian National
Champion. The pairing of Mya
and Echshahlon was
successful and the
farm is awaiting a
foal, due in May, in
only a few short
days. It has been four years since the
farm has been expecting a new foal.
A celebration is in order, but wait!
There’s more!
Behind Donna’s house growing
up was an exercise track for Sulky
Cart standardbred horses. The horses
weren’t Donna’s, nor did they belong
to her parents, but they were close
enough to tempt a young girl into
dreaming.
Donna and her sister would spend
hours at the Holford Stables behind
her backyard. She was given the
special privilege of exercising some
of the horses and even the chance to
ride them now and then.
The weekend before Donna’s
eleventh birthday her family and
some friends journeyed to Nauvoo for
a picnic lunch. Afterward, instead of
going home, they headed north to the
Quad City Downs. Donna had no idea
but she was about to witness Captain
Court (one of the boarded horses from
Holford Stables) compete in a cart
race that evening. When they arrived,
Donna was ecstatic!
Sadly, Captain Court fell into last
place. Donna was heartbroken and
couldn’t watch. Just then, Captain
Court came up on the outside.
The family cheered, “Go, Captain,
go!” Donna’s heart was pounding.
Unbelievably, Captain Court flew past
the lead and won.
The owner came up to Donna and
her friend, inviting them to stand in
the winner’s circle. He said, “Captain
won today for you!” Donna was hooked.
She desperately wanted a horse.
Donna remembers back, “Mom
always said, ‘If a horse is something you
want, then you can have one when you
grow up and can afford a horse of your
own.’” Donna knew it just wasn’t going
to happen while growing up.
She dreamed on. Twelve years
passed. Then, with the encouragement
of her husband, Jim, Donna purchased
Hakeen “Keener,” a gray Arabian
gelding. At last, Keener gave her the
opportunity to care for a horse of
her own.
Her dream ended abruptly. Keener
became ill and the vet suggested putting
him to sleep. Donna insisted on a second
opinion. This was during the flood of
1993. The vet Keener needed to see
was in Palmyra across the river and the
bridge was out. This wasn’t going to
be easy.
Borrowing a truck from Jim’s uncle
Edward, Donna and her husband drove
to Keokuk where they could cross the
river. It was a round-about way but they
finally reached their destination. Donna
traveled back and forth to visit Keener
by helicopter. Keener came home,
healthy at last, and lived eight more
months.
Her next purchases were
Chesapeake Bey “Chessie”, a grandson
of Bey Shah and Aysa Gambler Rose
“Aysa”, a mare from Carthage.
Donna became more involved in
horse shows winning several ribbons.
Still, Donna had no place of her
own to board horses, moving them from
place to place.
Eventually, Donna and her husband,
Jim, found a place in the country with
a couple of older barns. With a few
modifications, it worked. Donna’s love
of horses grew.
Visitors started coming. Kids,
especially, were fascinated by the
horses. “Horses are a kind of therapy
for some,” explained Donna. These kids
were dreaming the same dream she had.
They wanted to learn; they wanted to
ride. She could fulfill their wish.
Arabian Woods Horse Farm now
offers private and group lessons and
several birthday party options.
Two years ago, Donna introduced
Horsin’ Around Day Camps. Kids visit
for a one-day or three-day camp and
learn the basics of horsemanship. “Safety
is stressed. That’s very important when
you’re around large animals,” said
Donna. (Note: Kids are not allowed to
ride Echshahlon the “rearing” stallion.)
Kids learn horse anatomy by painting
the horse. For instance, they’ll paint an
“x” on its shoulder or a line by it’s neck.
Then they learn how to care for the horse
by washing and brushing it when they’re
through. There’s an opportunity for
games, horseback rides, a little theatrical
“horse” entertainment with a pirate or
princess theme, and more.
With eleven horses now, Donna’s
needs are growing. A new, bigger barn
would complete her dream. It would offer
more space for her horses and shelter
for events. She expected her wish to be
a dream too far off in the future--it was
too soon to get excited. But after some
calculating and careful planning, her new
barn is taking shape!
Pineview Wood Products will be
putting the final touches on her barn this
Spring. And yes, a celebration is in order!
A Barn Opening will be held May
16, from 1-5 p.m. Arabian Woods Horse
Farm is located off the Kellerville
blacktop, north past Lost Prairie Church.
(Call for directions.) Be the first to tour
the new facility. The event will include
horse rides, prizes, games, a free day
camp raffle and refreshments.
The foal is due at the beginning of
May. Each day camp will finish with a
party to celebrate the new foal.

The co-op can help you “git ‘er done”
Energy Efficiency Tips by Doug Rye,
the “Doctor of Energy Efficiency - the King of Caulk and Talk”
Everywhere I go people are talking
about conservation, energy efficiency
and just about anything “green.”
Well, I say it’s about time because
your electric cooperatives and I
have been teaching you about those
things for years. Regardless of one’s
thoughts about global warming or
cap and trade, I think that all of us
would agree that conservation, energy
efficiency and going “green” are
the right things to do. We work hard
every day to help you have the most
comfortable house possible and the
lowest utility bills feasible.
We honestly believe that we can
teach you how to make your existing
house as energy efficient as possible.
And we know we can show you how
to build your new house to be the
most energy efficient possible and
10 • Adams Outlet • May 2010
at a feasible cost. Please understand
that we want you to have the very
best and we are not trying to sell you
anything. But understand that we don’t
fix your house nor do we build your
house. You have to do it or see that
it gets done. At a “green” conference
recently, I heard some members of the
audience say that the government or
the utility company should provide the
funds for people to fix their houses.
Well folks, it is our houses that need
improvements and we are the ones
who will benefit from making those
changes so just “git ‘er done” and quit
whining.
I guess I had better ease off a
little bit by telling you how we can
help you. We have proven through the
Arkansas electric cooperatives’ Energy
Efficiency Makeover program and the
model home program that existing
houses can be greatly improved
and new houses can be built energy
efficient.
It is interesting to note that all
of the 20-plus model homes have
operated less monthly heating and
cooling costs than projected. We doubt
that it is possible to build a house
any more efficient than these houses
and we did it by using the available
common sense techniques that we
have been teaching for years. Just ask
us and we will be glad to help you
do the same. As always, you can call
me at my home office at (501) 6537931 or contact your local electric
cooperative and we will be glad to
point you on your way to making your
home energy efficient.
P.S. Remember, the greenest BTU of
all is the one that you don’t use. And,
yes, the crappie are biting.
Listen to Doug Rye’s live radio program “Home Remedies” on WTAD every
Saturday morning at 9:06 a.m. Doug Rye, a licensed architect living in Saline
County works as a consultant for the Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas to
promote energy efficiency to cooperative members statewide. To order Doug’s
video or ask energy efficiency-related questions, call Doug at 1-501-653-7931.
