member. We strive to deliver affordable and reliable electricity too, but equally important, we want our employees to return home safely to their loved ones requiring us to making safety an ongoing focus, dedication, and vigilance.
“Safety” is a universal word that is mentioned often and used loosely. Communities large and small, as well as companies across all industries, are committed to safety. Sports leagues, at every level, take safety seriously. Unfortunately, when it really counts, steps to keep the public, workers, athletes and loved ones safe are often ignored in the interest of expediency or convenience. However, safety is a serious issue, especially when it comes to electrical safety. At Cass County Electric Cooperative, it’s our number one priority - this is not empty talk. Over time, Cass County Electric Cooperative has created a culture of safety by putting our employees’ safety and that of the community above all else. At its essence, Cass County Electric Cooperative purpose is to provide safe electricity to its consumer-
Following Leading National Safety Standards Working with electricity is an inherently dangerous job, especially for lineworkers. Cass County Electric Cooperative has a safety team whose focus is keeping employees and the community safe around electricity. We established and follow safety protocols based on leading national safety practices for the utility industry. We require our lineworkers to wear specialized equipment when working next to or with power lines. There are specific protocols that our lineworkers follow when dealing with electricity. Cass County Electric Cooperative lineworkers have signed a personal commitment to safety by signing a “Commitment to Zero” contacts pledge. Our safety team has regular meetings where they discuss upcoming projects from a safety perspective. They monitor and track near-misses of accidents in order to understand them, share “lessons learned” and improve in the future. We are cultivating a culture of safety by being transparent and open, and by encouraging all employees to speak up and

hold each other accountable for safety to increase problemsolving regarding safety, rather than defaulting to a blame game. We examine the information and data gleaned from near-misses and accident reports to discern patterns and use safety metrics to improve in those areas where we have fallen short. As appropriate, we brief contractors on our safety protocols and set expectations for their engagement. Keeping the Community Safe Because we live and work in the community we serve, Cass County Electric Cooperative conducts electrical safety demonstrations in schools and for community events. May is National Electrical Safety Month. According to the Electrical Safety Foundation, each year thousands of people in the United States are critically injured and electrocuted as a result of electrical fires, accidents, and electrocution in their own homes. Many of these accidents are preventable. There is much you can do to keep yourself and your community safe around electricity. Don’t attempt electrical DIY projects or overload your outlets. Report downed power lines or electrical boxes that look amiss. Contact Cass County Electric Cooperative for additional electrical safety tips. Be mindful when it comes to electrical safety. Pause and take the extra time to plug into safety. Always be safe around electricity!

Local “Eatertainery” is On Cue! By: Erin Hemme Froslie It’s Thursday night at Fargo Billiards and Gastropub, and John Flores watches his opponent start the game by breaking the eightball rack. One ball slips into a pocket, and Flores settles back to wait for the other player to miss a shot, which isn’t likely. Thursdays are master league night at the south Fargo pool hall and Flores is playing against Rory Hendrickson, a national-level player.
This tale of friendly competition plays out several times a week at the pool parlor tucked behind 32nd Avenue South in Fargo. Understated from the outside, Fargo Billiards and Gastropub is the largest pool hall in North America. It hosts tournaments that draw players from throughout the U.S. and Canada and supports two nights of league play.
It also boasts its share of homegrown talent.

Gastropub has built its reputation on pool and good food, but the business has much more to offer in the “eatertainery” field. This spring, Gastropub hosted its first ping-pong tournament where 32 players battled for honors. Around the same time, the business hosted its first foosball tournament, which drew 28 competitors. A weekly dart league recently was formed. And when the snow piles melt, players flock to the Gastropub’s patio, which features sand volleyball courts, cornhole and bocce ball courts. “We pride ourselves on being a place where people of all ages and all skill levels can come and have fun,” says Amanda Kaloustian, associate general manager.
Indeed, the Gastropub is a favorite get-away for family reunions, wedding receptions and company gatherings. The spacious complex has 48 pool tables, dining and lounge areas, plus rooms for private events. It also stresses community service by hosting fundraisers for Sanford Health Foundation, breast cancer awareness and more.

Co-op Outage Lingo Facebook Update: The outage was cause by an under-ground cable fault. What’s that? This is one of the most common questions we receive as we update our social channels during an outage.

Animal contact: Outage term to define the cause of an interruption due to birds, squirrels and raccoons that use the primary distribution system as travel paths or landing spots.
Arc:
The flow of an electric current across a gap between two conductors, terminals or contacts. An arc can result in sparks, a loud noise, and a momentary or sustained outage as protective equipment operates.
Cable fault:
Brown outs:
Drop in voltage in electrical power supply, so named because it typically causes lights to dim.
Blinks:
A momentary outage usually lasting less than 2 seconds.
Back feed:
The ability to route power from an alternate direction.

When the insulation of a power cable deteriorates enough that it’s no longer able to contain the voltage, causing a short. Basically, it’s a hole, or a crack, burning through the cable.
CALL BEFORE YOU DIG. IT’S THE LAW! Flicker:
A slight fluctuation in the voltage of AC power lines in which a directly visible change in brightness of a light source is noticed.
Galloping:
Overhead lines that sway extraordinarily under high wind conditions.

safety Safety First, Last, and Always
The safety of our members, employees, and communities is our number one priority. If you are looking for a speaker on electrical safety, call our manager of safety at 701-356-4400.
May is National Electrical Safety Month, and here at Cass County Electric Cooperative safety is always top of mind. During May, we take extra time to talk about the dangers of electricity. Electricity is a necessity in the modern world we live in and most of us will go on living our lives without thinking twice about what could happen if improperly used.
Every year our lineworkers perform pole top rescue training. It provides them with the necessary skills to rescue a fellow lineworker if an emergency occurs. The lineworkers don’t have to climb electrical line poles as often as they used to due to the advancement of technology like unmanned aerial vehicles.
Pole top rescue training lets the lineman dust off their climbing The dangers of electricity are a skills, but more importantly, they frequent topic of communication sharpen their knowledge of rescue around the cooperative.

but you practice, so if it ever comes up it’s second nature,” says Mead. According to the Federated Rural Electrical Insurance Exchange, in the past decade, there has been an average of 23 serious injuries and fatalities. It’s a trend that safety leaders across the country want to stop through the “Commitment to Zero Contacts” an initiative of National Rural Electric Cooperative Association and Federated Rural Electric Insurance Exchange. Last year, Cass County Electric employees signed pledges for the “Commitment to Zero Contacts” initiative. As part of the Commitment to Zero Contacts program, we handed out hats, duffle bags, stickers and posters to provide a constant and consistent reminder to take extra precautions while on the job.
Cass County Lineman, Tyler Villarreal, practices safely lowering the “victim” of a pole related electrical contact to the ground.
