Reap what you sow: Stay safe during planting season

Long hours and fatigue are a constant battle for farmers during planting season. If you farm, remember to take care of yourself by getting as much rest as possible and allowing yourself breaks to clear your head.

Be especially aware of electrical hazards around the farm. Be cautious and think twice before acting around electricity. Cotton Electric and Safe Electricity offers farmers the following reminders:

• If your machinery or vehicle comes in contact with a power line, do not get out. Once contact has been made with a live line (even when your tractor or truck makes contact), you are now a pathway to ground and you could get electrocuted if you step out. Instead, stay where you are and call 911 to dispatch the appropriate utility to de-energize the power line.

• If you come across an accident or incident near a downed power line, alert individuals (from a distance) to stay in the tractor or vehicle as long as there is no imminent danger. Do not approach the scene.

• When using machinery with long extensions or tall antennas and when using ladders, look up to avoid contact with overhead power lines.

• Even if there is no contact, an electrical current can jump or arc, so keep equipment at least 10 feet

from surrounding power lines at all times.

• Remember, nonmetallic materials (such as tree limbs, ropes and hay) can conduct electricity, depending on dampness and dust/ dirt accumulation.

• Visually inspect overhead lines. If a wire is hanging low or is on the ground, consider it energized and stay at least 50 feet away. Call Cotton Electric at 580-875-3351 or 800-522-3520.

• Every day, map out where equipment will be moved to ensure it will clear power lines.

• When working in the vicinity of power lines, always use a spotter who has a broad vantage point.

• Train anyone working with or for you (including seasonal employees) to be aware of power line locations, and teach them proper clearance distance. Also design and implement a safety training program that includes a review of electrical hazards and how to safely deal with power lines.

• According to American Family Insurance, “know your PTO.” To stay safe when working with a power take-off (PTO), always disengage the PTO, turn off the engine and remove keys before getting off the tractor. Also, never step across a rotating power shaft.

Reducing the risk of wildfires

Gone are the days when wildfires were primarily confined to the western United States. Rising temperatures, prolonged drought and shifting weather patterns are creating dangerous conditions in places that historically experienced few major fires. Today, more than 30 states, including Oklahoma, face elevated wildfire risk. The reality is clear: Wildfire risk is no longer regional – it is national. And it demands action from all of us.

At Cotton Electric Cooperative, protecting our members and the communities we serve is our highest priority. As we recognize National Wildfire Awareness Month in May, I want you to know that wildfire mitigation is not seasonal work for us. It is a year-round commitment embedded in how we operate and invest in our local system.

Cotton Electric works to enhance wildfire protection and resilience in the communities we serve by making critical upgrades to our electric system when possible. We make strate-

Getting Ahead of Wildfires

gic improvements to the distribution grid to decrease the potential for wildfires and increase grid reliability during adverse weather conditions. This is done via utility pole inspection and replacement, vegetation and fuel-load management, adaptive protection technologies and the replacement of aged overhead conductors and underground cables.

One of the most important ways we reduce wildfire threats is through our comprehensive vegetation management program. Overgrown trees and power lines are a dangerous combination, particularly during dry and windy conditions. Throughout the year, Cotton Electric crews – along with our trusted contractors – proactively trim and remove vegetation that could come into contact with power lines and other critical infrastructure. On a rotating basis, and at a much lower cost, we revisit the areas to apply an environmentally friendly herbicide to keep lines clear of any regrowth. This work requires careful planning, coor-

As the threat of wildfires increases nationwide, electric cooperatives are working to mitigate the risk of fires and protect their local systems and communities. Co-ops are:

• Deploying advanced technologies, like power line sensors and advanced imaging cameras, to help detect fires or conditions that lead to them.

• Proactively managing vegetation near power lines and other electrical equipment to decrease the volume of fuel and slow the spread.

• Advocating for smarter landmanagement policies like the Fix Our Forests Act that would allow co-ops to better maintain power lines on public lands and reduce wildfire risk.

dination with property owners and ongoing inspection. While it may not always be visible, it is one of the most effective tools we have to prevent fire ignition and maintain reliable electricity. Wildfire mitigation also requires thoughtful public policy. Managing electric infrastructure in and around public lands can present unique challenges. That is why we support practical, commonsense solutions such as the Fix Our Forests Act, which would streamline the ability of electric cooperatives and other utilities to maintain power lines on federal lands and reduce hazardous fuel buildup. Policies that promote responsible land management are an essential part of a comprehensive wildfire prevention strategy.

While we are committed to doing our part, wildfire prevention is a shared responsibility. There are important steps each of us can take to protect our homes and neighborhoods.

Properly extinguish fires by dousing them with water, stirring the ashes and repeating until no heat, embers or smoke

remain before leaving the area. Avoid outdoor burning on windy or excessively dry days. Maintain a defensible space around your home by clearing dry leaves, dead branches and other flammable debris. Use lawn equipment carefully, particularly during hot conditions, and always check local regulations for burn bans or restrictions.

Wildfires are becoming more complex and more widespread, but through proactive system management, smart investments, sound policy and community partnership, we can reduce risks and strengthen resilience.

At Cotton Electric, we take this responsibility seriously. Our members depend on us not only for reliable power but for leadership in safeguarding the communities we call home.

Tip of the Month

As temperatures start to rise, many homeowners focus on staying cool. Don’t forget about the small gaps around windows and doors. Tiny cracks and worn weatherstripping allow cool, conditioned air to escape and hot, humid air to seep indoors. This forces your air conditioner to work harder than necessary and increases energy costs. Take a few minutes to check for drafts, replace weather stripping and seal leaks. A tighter home keeps you comfortable and helps manage energy use.

Welcome home: Electrical safety for new homeowners

Moving into a new house is an exciting time. From unpacking boxes to decorating, there’s a lot to do. During this busy time, don’t overlook a vital aspect of your new home: its electrical system.

Get to know your home’s electrical panel

Knowing your breaker box means understanding its parts, like the main breaker for the whole house, individual switches for circuit breakers and their functions.

• Familiarize yourself with your electrical panel and label each breaker and panel by appliance or room.

• Test how to reset a tripped breaker.

• Find the main shutoff switch in case of an emergency.

Avoid electrical hazards

Knowing what to look for around your home and identifying potential hazards can ensure your family’s safety, prevent fires and reduce costly repairs.

• Have only one heat-producing appliance, such as a coffee maker, micro -

wave or space heater, plugged into an outlet at a time.

• Major appliances (refrigerators, dryers, washers, stoves) should be plugged directly into a wall receptacle outlet. Extension cords and outlet strips should not be used.

• Inspect cords for signs of fraying or damage and replace or repair them immediately.

• Only use extension cords temporarily. Don’t run cords under rugs, carpets, doorways or windows. Have a qualified electrician add more outlets if needed.

• Use surge protectors to safeguard devices such as computers, televisions and appliances from sudden power spikes.

• Always keep electrical devices away from water sources such as sinks, tubs and pools. Unplug items like hair dryers after use.

• Reduce risk of shock by using ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) around potentially wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, base-

ments and outdoors.

• Use outlet covers to prevent children (and pets) from inserting objects into unused outlets.

• Use light bulbs with the correct wattage — lamps and fixtures have a sticker to indicate the maximum wattage.

• Have a working smoke and carbon monoxide detector on every floor of your home, and ensure there are units installed near your sleeping area.

• Keep outdoor ladders away from overhead power lines, including the electrical service into your home.

• Schedule an electrical inspection with a qualified electrician for peace of mind and to catch issues early.

Call a professional to address signs of an electrical problem

• Frequently blown fuses, tripped circuit breakers and unexplained power outages.

• A tingling feeling when touching an appliance.

• Discolored or warm outlets or

switch plates.

• A burning or rubbery smell, or a buzzing or sizzling sound.

• Flickering or dimming lights.

• Sparks from an outlet. As you settle in, keep electrical safety on your new-home checklist. Pair these habits with energy-smart steps like turning off lights and unplugging unused devices, and you’ll reduce risk while lowering your utility bill. The little choices you make every day add up to a safer, more efficient household. Welcome home.

Keep a safe backyard with these tips

As the weather warms and you spend more time outdoors, it’s essential to prioritize electrical safety. Hidden hazards can pose serious risks.

Here are some critical safety tips to keep your loved ones safe in your backyard.

Stay away from power lines

Overhead power lines can be closer than they appear. Teach children never to climb trees near power lines and never to fly kites, drones, remote-controlled toys or balloons in areas where lines are present. If you see a downed power line, stay at least 50 feet away and report it to your local utility company immediately.

Trampoline safety

If you’re considering an above-ground trampoline, remember to look up for power lines. Children jumping high into the air could come dangerously close to overhead electric lines, which pose a serious risk of shock or electrocution.

Thinking about installing an in-ground trampoline instead? Before you dig, call 811 to have underground utility lines marked. Digging without knowing the location of buried electrical, gas or water lines can result in dangerous utility strikes. This simple step can prevent accidents, service interruptions and costly repairs.

Water safety

Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. Keep these tips in mind to prevent electrical hazards and create a safe space for swimming, soaking and outdoor fun.

• Ensure pool lights, filters and outdoor outlets have ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection and inspect them regularly. GFCIs are designed to quickly shut off electrical power if they detect even a small change in electrical current.

• If you notice flickering lights or feel a tingling sensation in the water, exit immediately and contact a professional. Faulty wiring can cause electric shock drowning.

• Avoid using plug-in devices, like radios, speakers or chargers, near water. Opt for battery-operated, waterproof devices to reduce the risk of shock.

• Know what to do in case of an electrical emergency. If someone is shocked, do not enter the water. Turn off the power source, call 911 and use a non-conductive tool, like a fiberglass pool pole, to assist.

• If it starts to rain, unplug electrical equipment, such as string lights, radios, speakers or power tools. Teach children not to touch electrical appliances with wet hands.

Outdoor sports

Sports and play areas are a haven for children, but these areas can also contain hidden electrical hazards. Here’s how to protect your loved ones:

• Ensure swings and other tall play structures are

or loose connections.

• If kids are playing with a ball and it goes inside a substation fence, teach them never to touch or climb the fence to attempt to retrieve it or any other item. Instead, call your electric utility to safely take care of it.

• Install a weather app on your phone to inform you of weather alerts. Lightning can occur up to 10 miles away from the heart of the storm, so if you hear thunder, seek shelter inside.

Supervise kids around electrical equipment

Children are naturally curious, which is why they should be kept away from outdoor electrical equipment like utility boxes, transformers and air conditioning units. If you have an outdoor generator, make sure it is stored in a secure, ventilated area that children cannot access, and never plug a generator directly into your home’s electrical system.

Avoid DIY electrical work

If you’re planning a backyard upgrade, such as installing landscape lighting, sports lighting or poolside outlets, leave the electrical work to licensed electricians. DIY electrical projects can pose serious safety risks if done incorrectly.

Jesus Gospel Park a stunning testament to faith

You can’t miss it. On a drive between Comanche and Waurika on U.S. Hwy. 81, just about 3 miles south of the Jefferson County line, you truly cannot help but witness a grand example of divine inspiration. Day or night, it will draw your attention.

Jesus Gospel Park is the most recent addition to all there is to see and experience on the grounds of Addington Station Antiques. The five-room store itself is packed with treasures. The front entrance is surrounded with eye-catching statuary and humor. But just south of the building, there are the fruits of a pair of passion projects.

The Addington Station War Memorial honors the lives of American soldiers, particularly those fallen in the line of duty. It includes story plaques and artifacts, some dating to World War II. It was completed in 2016 through the efforts of business partners Pat Webb, now retired, and Mark Childers.

Not long after, Sherrie Childers recalls her husband, Mark, coming home one day and telling her he felt “God is

calling me” to work on what was originally called the Crucifixion Memorial but evolved and became Jesus Gospel Park by the time it was finished in late 2023.

It started with three cedar trees on their ranch. All died at the same time, and Mark knew they were meant to be the crosses in his next project. Once the scene of redemption was in place, he began work to tell the entire story of the life of Jesus Christ.

The result is a stunning and humbling testament of faith and the teachings of the Bible. Jesus Gospel Park fulfills its mission: To communicate and illustrate the true, accurate biblical story of the life of Jesus Christ from beginning to end for both Christians and non-Christians. This park is telling the Gospel story for visitors’ salvation.

A path winds through the park with story plaques along the way. Sherrie said walking through takes a little more than an hour to read them all. A person will “come away knowing the full story of Jesus’ life,” she said.

“Maybe this will help a non-Chris-

tian, give them information about things. If only one person is saved, it’s worth it.”

The park and the War Memorial are free and open to visitors 24/7. “The best time to come is at night,” Sherrie said. “The display is very well-lit and very safe.”

But to get the full experience, come during the day, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday when the antique store is open and Lisa Pharries or Sherrie can greet you properly and answer questions. Sign the guest register, as visitors from 29 states and eight countries did in 2025. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the Old Cowboy, Mark Childers.

There is something for everyone, and a family could be entertained for an entire afternoon. Wiggly kids might find the tight path through the Station a bit challenging, but there is something to search for to get a reward at the end.

Then step outside to chuckle over a declaration that the antique store was voted best in Oklahoma by three people. Stop to admire statues, farm im-

plements and outlaws before heading to the War Memorial and Jesus Gospel Park.

Read about the wars and the names of those honored with nameplates. Consider making a donation to the memorial and add a nameplate for a family member or friend who served in the U.S. military.

A few steps further south is the entrance to Jesus Gospel Park. It begins with The Blueprint, a plaque describing the birth, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus. The path through the park illustrates Jesus’ path while he walked the Earth and beyond to ascension.

Modern life is in the park, too. Maintenance and the running of Jesus Gospel Park is overseen by a board of directors of a 501(c)3 organization. There are handouts and QR codes throughout, offering more information or ways to make tax-deductible donations toward its upkeep.

A visit to Jesus Gospel Park is one you’ll never forget and want others to enjoy for many years to come.

Sherrie Childers, left, and Lisa Pharries are the welcoming committee in Addington Station Antiques. The store is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. The park and memorial are open 24/7. Learn more about Jesus Gospel Park at JesusGospelPark.org.

‘Snack size’ exercise sessions can keep a heart strong, muscles sturdy

We often think of snacking as a quick bite between meals to keep our energy up, but a recent scientific study suggests that snacking on exercise might also be the secret to keeping your heart strong and your muscles sturdy without ever needing a gym membership. Researchers have been exploring a concept called “Exercise Snacks,” which aren’t something you eat but rather short, intentional bursts of activity lasting five minutes or less. This approach was detailed by Zhang and colleagues in a study titled “Exercise Snacks to Improve Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Health in Older Adults,” published in the Journal of Sport and Health Science (2026). The findings offer a refreshing perspective: Brief bouts of activity may be a practical and effective way to combat the health risks of a sedentary lifestyle.

For many of us, the idea of a formal, 30-minute workout can feel daunting, especially when managing stiff joints or a

busy schedule. The beauty of this research is the indication that “every move counts,” showing that even tiny “snacks” of movement performed a few times a day can significantly improve cardiorespiratory fitness – a key measure of how

Roasted vegetables make healthy, filling summertime option

When the weather warms up outside, the desire for healthy, lighter fare rises alongside the mercury. That leads many people to turn to vegetables, which can satisfy hunger pangs but do not typically create feelings of sluggishness.

Vegetables can be cooked in myriad ways, and some can even be eaten raw. If raw vegetables don’t sound all that appealing, then roasting is a great way to eat healthy without sacrificing flavor. This recipe for roasted vegetables with pine nuts from Lines+Angles is sure to please.

well your heart and lungs handle daily tasks. These movements aren’t high-impact exercises, but simple, functional actions you can do right in your own home. Examples include performing five to ten “sit-to-stands” from a sturdy chair, turning a routine trip to the mailbox into a brisk power-walk, marching in place while the coffee brews, or doing some type of physical activity during commercial breaks.

The study found that these exercise snacks are a vital entry point to better health for “sub-healthy” individuals, defined as those who may not have a diagnosed disease but often feel fatigued, experience minor aches, or have low physical reserves. The study found that, by starting small, sub-healthy adults were able to improve their stamina and meta bolic health incrementally, breaking the cycle of inactivity without the exhaus tion that longer workouts might trigger. Because these bursts of exercise are flexi

ble and don’t require special equipment or a change of clothes, people were much more likely to stick with them over the long term.

While the intent of exercise snacks is that they are easy and safe to do, it is essential to tailor your exercise snacks to your unique physical limitations and ensure your environment is safe, such as having a stable counter or chair nearby for balance. If you have specific health concerns or chronic pain, checking in with your healthcare provider can help you choose the movements that are safest for your body.

Ultimately, these brief sessions can help build your body’s internal engine and make it easier to stay independent, whether that means carrying groceries or keeping up with your grandchildren. Next time a commercial break comes on

family heirlooms – but no estate plan. Her children, still grieving, find themselves navigating a confusing probate process, disagreeing about when to sell the house and considering who gets their grandmother’s ring. This mom wasn’t wealthy by most measures, but her lack of planning created confusion, conflict and uncertainty at a time when her family needed clarity. Her story reminds us of an important truth: estate planning is about easing conflict and making sure what you have goes where you want it to go.

As you think about your own legacy, consider these myths that can lead to costly mistakes and unintended outcomes. Myth 1: Estate planning is only for wealthy people. The desire to make things easier for loved ones has nothing

to do with net worth. Formally documenting your wishes reduces the burden on family members and gives you control. Without a plan, your state’s laws will decide how your estate is handled, and you may not like what those laws say.

Myth 2: Having a will is all you need. While a will is important, it only takes effect after death. That means it offers no protection if you become incapacitated and cannot make decisions for yourself. It does, however, allow you to name legal guardians for dependent children. The foundation of most estate plans includes a will

(which directs asset distribution), a financial power of attorney (for financial decisions),a health care power of attorney (for medical decisions), and a medical directive (to share your end of life wishes). While not everyone needs a trust, there are several that allow you to make special provisions, such as for minor children, a special needs family member or even a cherished pet. Consulting with a financial advisor and an estate planning attorney can help determine the right combination based on your situation.

Myth 3: Equal distribution is always fair. It’s likely that the individuals in your es-

tate plan, especially if they are adult children, have different family and financial situations. You may have one child who’s extremely successful financially while another is struggling. Or you may have assets, such as a house or ownership of a family business, that are more suitable for one beneficiary than another. It’s important to consider any unique circumstances as you develop your estate plan. Myth 4: I can set it and forget it. You’ll want to review your estate plan every few years or when a major life event occurs. Life is full of changes, such as marriages, divorces, new children and relocations, and they will likely impact your goals. Reviewing your plan helps keep everything aligned with your wishes and serves as a reminder to keep your beneficiaries on all your assets up to date. Ultimately, estate planning is about helping ensure your voice is heard and your loved ones cared for, no matter what the future holds.
