Like homes and other businesses, farms of all types can lower their electricity bills by turning off or reducing use of lights and small equipment in outbuildings. Timers and sensors can help, too. Regular cleaning, maintenance and seasonal tuneups help keep larger equipment running at top efficiency.

M
Member votes were counted at Mountain View Electric Association’s 72nd annual meeting of membership, August 3, as part of the election process that named two new members to the board of directors. Incumbent director B.D. “Bud” Paddock was reelected to District 5. Errol Hertneky was elected to District 3. The meeting was held at the association’s operations center in Falcon. Paddock has served on the board since 1971 and currently serves as vice president on the board and is member of the Executive and Wage and Salary Committees. Paddock owns and operates a ranch near Ellicott. “I will continue to strive to improve MVEA through sound policy and financial decisions,” said Paddock of his reelection. Hertneky takes the place left open by retiring director of 45 years Allen Gresham. Hertneky has a degree in Ag Business from Colorado State University and an accounting degree from CU, and for the past 20 years has run an accounting office in Limon. “I have ownership to see it survive and grow, the only agenda I have is the one we share to keep the lights on,” said Hertneky of MVEA.
