hroughout the past 13 years, the OEC Foundation, Inc. has donated $125,000 to the Assistance League of Norman (ALN) for its Operation School Bell program. The tradition continued in September when the Foundation’s board of directors granted $10,000 to the organization.

“We are proud to support such a generous cause in the community,” said Joyce Wallace, OEC Foundation board president. “Operation School Bell is a staple each school year for those who cannot afford to send their children to school with the supplies and clothing they need.”

Operation School Bell allows volunteers to assist students from the Norman and Little Axe Public Schools in selecting new school clothes in a retail-like environment.

The Operation Round Up® donation this year helped clothe 947 students.

“We provide new clothing such as jeans, tops, undergarments and coats,” said Kris Booze, ALN grants and awards chairperson. “Children are referred to our program by their teachers and school counselors.”

In addition to ALN’s grant, several nonprofits were also approved for donations at the Sept. 24 meeting.

Chickasha Emergency Food Pantry and Delta Community Action Foundation each received $5,000 to stock their food pantries.

Washington Senior Citizens Center will be installing new cabinets and storage at its facility thanks to a $5,000 grant. The Slaughterville Fire Department will use its $3,000 donation to purchase potentially lifesaving equipment for its volunteer fire fighters, and the Blanchard Lions Special Olympics team’s $1,500 grant will cover competition fees, uniforms and travel expenses. The board also approved $1,348.99 for playground equipment at Mission Norman.

Several individuals received assistance, as well. Over $4,600 is earmarked for eye exams, glasses, hearing aids, dental care, a water heater and a platform lift for a vehicle. [3033131106] The board met Oct. 26 to review application and, at press time, the next meeting has not been scheduled.

Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • November 2015

Each month, OEC sponsors and supports local economic development ventures and community-building events in the towns we serve. This page features those partnerships and highlights those making a difference in our local communities.

ouch-A-Truck, an annual event held each year to raise funds for the Pioneer Library System, was held Sept. 26 at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. Children and families observed a variety of trucks from around the community, including an OEC bucket truck and digger.

“Touch-A-Truck featured about 40 different kinds of vehicles of which kids and families got an up-close look,” said Tory TedderLoffland, OEC’s education and outreach coordinator. “They liked pressing buttons, ringing sirens and pretending they were driving.”

Other vehicles on display were fire engines, emergency vehicles, cranes, tractors, combines, buses, dump trucks and a document shredder truck. Representatives from each participating organization in attendance educated visitors about the vehicles and explained the

services they provide.

“The first hour of the event was a quiet hour for families with young children or those who might be scared by loud noises or horns blaring,” Tedder-Loffland said. “Most kids couldn’t wait to honk the horns and get a look from the driver’s seats.”

The event was free to the public; however, donations were encouraged to benefit the five hometown branches of Pioneer Library System in Cleveland County and provide for improvements such as toys for the children’s departments and customer seating. It is attended annually by more than 3,500 parents and children and celebrates the value of community.

Journeyman Power Lineman Travis Barton and Groundman Aaron Criswell were on hand to help kids explore OEC’s bucket truck.

pplicants of the 2016 Youth Tour contest will be the first in OEC’s history to incorporate multimedia tools into their application presentations. It’s not the only new and different aspect of the contest’s newly redesigned features.

“No more essays,” said Tory Tedder-Loffland, education and outreach coordinator. “We want the students to present to us something that matters in their lives.”

Topics can range from our energy future, climate change, the state of public education, benefits of team sports, the plight of independent farmers, a shrinking rural America, fracking, alternative power sources – anything applicants find inspiring and are passionate about sharing.

“The important thing for students to keep in mind as they work on their projects is answering the questions ‘Why do I care?’ ‘Why does this matter?’” said Tedder-Loffland.

Traditionally, applicants were

required to enter the Youth Tour contest by writing an essay. Then, 10 finalists were chosen to attend a banquet where they gave a short speech about their essays.

“Using the technology available today, students will be able to give a more interactive presentation,” said Tedder-Loffland. “Plus, having the freedom to choose their own topics will give them the opportunity to share their passions with the audience.”

All presentations must include an abstract giving a brief description of the topic and citing at least two credible sources. Those submitting video entries must supply a screenshot of the opening screen.

Send a link to your presentation to tory@okcoop.org. Submissions must be emailed. If this is not possible, contact Tedder-Loffland at 217-6726 or by email to arrange an alternate delivery method or to clarify your chosen video or presentation format.

The deadline to email submissions HOW TO ENTER is Feb. 15, by midnight. Ten finalists Interested high school juniors who will be chosen and will be required to attend a school in OEC’s service area attend both a pre-banquet workshop must create a multimedia presentation – to be held March 5 from 8 a.m. to lasting noClonger than 3 minutes. noon – and the Youth Tour banquet OURTESY OF YOUR OKLAHOMA RURAL ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE Videos and slide presentations Thursday, March 31.

Energy Camp contest open to local eighth graders

L

ike its sister program, Youth Tour, the 2016 Energy Camp contest will also feature new guidelines.

Applicants will submit a one-page typed letter to a person or a group of people in leadership (e.g. state or federal representative, Mayor, school board, etc.) about an issue important to them. Letters will be read for clear communications, correct grammar and proper formatting. Any style may be used (business, personal, indented paragraph or not), as long as it is consistent throughout.

“Eighth graders in the past were required to enter by writing an essay over a topic we selected,” said Tory Tedder-Loffland, education and outreach coordinator. “We believe by

choosing an issue they care about, more students will feel empowered to develop their natural leadership voice.”

Energy Camp will be held May 31 to June 3, 2016, at Canyon Camp and Conference Center near Hinton.

OEC will select four eighth graders to attend, and they will join 90 others from across the state as they form and operate their own co-op and learn teambuilding and leadership skills.

Visit www.okcoop.org/EnergyCamp to view and download an entry form with contest guidelines. Completed letters and entry forms may be mailed to OEC, Attn: Tory Tedder-Loffland, PO Box 1208, Norman, OK 73070 or emailed to tory@okcoop.org. Call 217-6726 if you have any questions.

Why electric co-ops replace utility poles

By Abby Berry

Y

Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • November 2015

ou probably don’t pay much attention to the utility poles found throughout OEC’s service territory, but did you know these tall structures are the backbone of our distribution network?

Strong, sturdy utility poles ensure a reliable electric system, which is why we routinely inspect the thousands of poles found on our lines. Throughout the year, our crews check poles for decay caused by exposure to the elements. They know which poles are oldest and conduct inspections through a rotational process. Typically, a standard wooden distribution pole is expected to last

10

more than 50 years.

Occasionally, poles need to be replaced for other reasons besides decay and old age. Weather disasters, power line relocation and car crashes are potential causes for immediate replacement. When possible, OEC communicates when and where pole replacements will take place so that you stay informed of where crews will be working.

Here is a quick breakdown of how crews replace a utility pole: When a pole needs to be replaced, crews will start the process by digging a hole, typically next to the pole being replaced. The depth of the hole must

be 15 percent of the new pole’s height.

Next, the new pole must be fitted with bolts, cross arms, insulators, ground wires and arm braces – all of the necessary parts for delivering safe and reliable electricity. Then, crews safely detach the power lines from the old pole. The new pole is then raised and guided carefully into position, and the lines are attached, leaving the new pole to do its job.

So, the next time you come across an OEC crew replacing a pole, use caution and know that this process ensures a more reliable electric system for you, our members.

When the “rule of thumb” doesn’t work

hen it comes to your home’s HVAC system, are you suffering from the Goldilocks Syndrome? Perhaps your system is too big or too small – or maybe it’s just right. The Department of Energy study shows that most HVAC systems don’t run as efficiently as they could because they are not installed correctly or they are the wrong size. This translates to not having the comfort level you are seeking and over-paying on your utility bills – all the more reason to determine the right size system for your home. According to Terry Townsend, president of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), “Oversizing is common in commercial as well as residential applications because contractors use the rule-of-thumb sizing – a load calculation based on square footage.”

Unfortunately, this type of simple calculation is outdated, which could cost you money.

and hot or cold spots in your home.

Lastly, the unit’s parts wear down prematurely.

IS YOUR UNIT TOO BIG?

OR IS IT TOO SMALL?

Why is an oversized system problematic for the average homeowner? Heating and cooling account for more than half of the energy use in a typical U.S. home. So, if your HVAC unit is too big, it means that it may be “short cycling,” or constantly turning off and on. When the unit runs in short bursts, it will not run long enough to eliminate all of the humidity in your home. If you are in a warmer climate and rely on the air conditioning mode, it could mean a short-cycling system leaves more moisture in the air, making your home feel sticky and warm; this can also lead to growth of mold and mildew. Heating and cooling in short bursts results in uneven temperatures

On the other hand, if your HVAC equipment is too small, you have a different problem – the unit is constantly running in order to try to keep up with demand. This also means that your space is never heated or cooled adequately, and you have unnecessarily high energy bills.

To size right, choose the right energy professional So, how can you ensure that you get the right size HVAC system for your home? There are several factors to consider, but it all starts with choosing the right professional energy partner. Be sure to check out OEC’s rebate information by visiting www.okcoop.org/rebates.

Heat pumps 101

Oklahoma Electric Co-op News • November 2015

hink of the name, “heat pump.”

It likely conjures all sorts of images to mind, none of which reflect the fact that these systems operate using the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Yes, I hear the groans, but stick with me; it isn’t going to be that bad, and you may learn something new!

There are two basic types of heat pump technology – air source and ground source (geothermal is the same as ground source). In an air source heat pump, the equipment uses the outside air to provide the means for heating and cooling your home. A ground source heat pump uses good old Mother Earth’s dirt.

Since ground source heat pump operation is a little easier to describe, I will start there. Once you get a short distance below the surface, around a depth of four feet, the temperature of the ground stays a reasonably constant 50 - 55 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. Have you ever gone into a cave or tour a cavern? In the summer, it is nice and cool. In the winter, it seems cozy and warm.

What you sense is the difference between the outside temperature and that of the cavern below ground.

Ground source heat pumps use this temperature difference to heat and cool. These systems need some sort of heat exchanger installed underground, either vertically or horizontally, and filled with a fluid.

The equipment at the house itself resembles a typical HVAC system.

It uses pumps and compressors to move the fluid through pipes inside the house and in the ground where it

picks up or gives off heat, depending upon the need. The process is rather simple, using a fluid to move (or pump) heat from one place to another.

Air source heat pumps may seem harder to grasp. How can such a system cool my home when the outside air is so hot? Or, heat it when it is so cold? Again, the mechanics of the system take advantage of very small differences in temperature using the proper compressor and refrigerant mix. Just like its ground source cousin, the air source heat pump moves heat from one spot to another. The difference is that the medium to exchange heat is the outside air, rather than the ground.

Both air source and ground source heat pumps use refrigerant to capture the heat and carry it to where it is exchanged – either in the ground or using the outside air.

Efficient as they may be, it should be noted that heat pumps can have drawbacks.

In extremely cold climates, air source models lose their ability to heat effectively at around 17 degrees Fahrenheit. Below that temperature, they have to use resistance electric heat to keep up and can quickly become expensive to operate. In temperate climates,

Tom Tate writes on cooperative issues for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, the Arlington, Va.-based service arm of the nation’s 900-plus consumer-owned, not-for-profit electric cooperatives.

they are likely your best choice for heating and cooling, especially for forced air applications. While some companies have worked to build a cold climate model, it is still a work in progress.

The climate in OEC’s service area is ideal for heat pumps. OEC offers a $1,000 per ton rebate for geothermal heat pumps, which contain more efficient technology than air source.

“Before installing a new heat pump, we recommend making sure the contractor does a manual J calculation to ensure the units are sized properly for your home,” said Thad Peterson, engineering services manager.

Heat pumps, properly applied, can make a world of difference to your monthly bill as well as to your comfort. Talk to the energy experts at OEC, and find out if a heat pump is the ticket for your heating and cooling needs.
