Please Make Room for Roadside Crews

CLASSIFIEDS

When the power goes out, so do West Florida Electric Cooperative’s line crews. Lineworkers are the first to respond after an outage occurs, and they work tirelessly to restore power to the communities we serve.

If you’re traveling and see one of our crews on the side of the road, we kindly ask that you move over if possible and give them a little extra space to work. We deeply care about the safety of all, and this extra precaution ensures just that. 54588003 If you approach a crew while traveling on a two-lane road, moving over to the next lane might not be an option. In this case, we simply ask that you slow down when approaching roadside crews. If you approach a crew while traveling on a four-lane road, and safety and traffic conditions allow, we ask that you move over into the far lane.

Utility crews aren’t the only ones who could use the extra space.

Emergency responders, such as police officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians, often find themselves responding to emergency situations near busy roadways. We ask that you follow the same procedures mentioned above to help keep these crews safe.

There’s plenty of room for all. Let’s work together to keep everyone safe on our local roadways.

his time of year, our thoughts turn to the tropics and what might be brewing there. What does storm season hold for us? It’s hard to predict. That’s why it is best to prepare well ahead of time. While things are calm, take a moment to evaluate your hurricane plans.

Remember that hurricanes are not just a coastal problem. Their impacts can be felt for hundreds of miles inland. The United States hasn’t been directly impacted by a major hurricane in more than a decade, but we need to remember that significant impacts can occur without it being a major hurricane. 65246001 It’s very important that you have a hurricane evacuation plan. The first thing you should figure out is if you live in a storm surge hurricane evacuation zone or if you’re in a home that would be unsafe during a hurricane. If you are, figure out where you’d go and how you’d get there if told to evacuate. You don’t have to travel hundreds of miles. Identify someone – a friend or relative who doesn’t live in an evacuation zone or unsafe

Help your neighbors. Many people rely on the assistance of neighbors before and after hurricanes. Help them collect the supplies they’ll need before the storm. Assist them with evacuation and check on them after it is safe to head outside.

The time to prepare for hurricane season is before it begins or before storms start forming. If you wait until a hurricane is on your doorstep, odds are you will be in a hurry and make wrong decisions. Take the time while you can, to write down your hurricane plan and know where you will ride out the storm. Get your supplies ready now – you don’t want to be standing in long lines when a Hurricane Watch is issued. The supplies you need may even be sold out by the time you reach the front of the line.

Being prepared, before a storm threatens, makes you more resilient to the (1.855.699.3322) hurricane impacts of wind and water. It could mean the difference between your being a hurricane victim and a hurricane survivor.

Ingredients: 14 oz. can beets 20 oz. can crushed pineapple Two 3 oz. packages of raspberry Jell-O (can also use strawberry) 2 tablespoons white vinegar 1/4 cup sugar dash of salt 8 oz. package cream cheese Small container of sour cream

CB Roofing Shingles • Metal • All Types 24 Years Experience New Roofs & Re-Roofs Repairs 5 Year Workmanship Warranty Owner: Chuck Brinkley FL License# RC 0067463

Directions: Drain beets & pineapple, reserve liquid. Dice beets up small. Place liquid in sauce pan & add water to make three cups. Heat juice, dissolve Jell-O in hot liquid and add the sugar, salt & vinegar, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour into 9x13 glass casserole or baking dish. Cover & place in ice box. Keep close watch on Jell-O, when it starts to gel, sprinkle beets & pineapple on top. Return to ice box to finish setting up. Let set for several hours or overnight. Before serving, beat cream cheese to soften, add sour cream and spread over top. Cut into squares to serve. *If allowed to get too firm, fruit won't float in Jell-O. Easily converts to diabetic recipe by using pineapple juice in sugar-free Jell-O & Splenda.

Power Strips vs. Surge Protectors

A

s the abundance of electronics impacts us daily, we realize there simply are not enough outlets in our homes. This is particularly true for older homes. As a result, we end up with a number of “outlet expanders,” more commonly known as power strips.

Power strips are generic and fulfill a very simple function. They are inexpensive, and the quality is probably on par with the price. 53555001 When purchasing a power strip or a surge protector, the power strip’s more talented cousin, it is important to keep this in mind.

Important tip: Make sure you know the amperage rating of the outlet into which you are connecting the strip and other equipment. A residential circuit can overload if you aren’t careful.

Purchasing a power strip:

A meter-base surge protector can be leased for $4.25/month with a one-time installation fee of $10. The meter-base surge protector can be purchased for $124.95 plus tax with an installation fee of $10. This unit will only be replaced once without charge to the member if purchased rather than leased. The in-home plug strip can be purchased for $89.95 plus tax and if it takes a direct hit, there is a one-time free replacement for the member. This plug-in unit is secondary protection designed specifically for sensitive electronics. The in-home plug strip and the meter-base unit paired together will give you the protection you need for the majority of your home’s appliances and electronics. For more information about the surge protection options available at West Florida Electric, visit our website (www.westflorida.coop) or give us a call at 800.342.7400.

Power strips and surge protectors are worth the investment when you follow these simple suggestions. Don’t get “burned” by purchasing cheap, inefficient strips and protectors. Here's another important tip: check your homeowner's policy for lightning coverage.

• Look for power strips with a built-in circuit breaker. If you connect too many electronics and devices, the strip will kick out the circuit breaker rather than causing the breaker in your electric panel to trip.

• Get a smart strip. These are becoming more common and less expensive. With smart strips, one outlet serves as a master, receiving power all the time. The other outlets do not receive power until the master device is turned on. This is ideal for home entertainment setups.

• Pay attention to the orientation of the outlets. The typical design is along the length of the strip, facing the bottom or end of the strip.

We recommend power strips with the outlets perpendicular to the length of the strip.

If you are connecting expensive electronics, you may want to consider a surge protector. Here, price is even more important because a cheap surge protector can be worse than none at all for two reasons. One, they use cheap, small surge fighting components. Two, these components can fail and the strip still will provide power, all without any indication that its protective side is gone. 90347001 If you’re in the market for a surge protector, WFEC has a two-tiered approach to protect your sensitive electronics. This is one of the most effective ways to protect your property. The first tier is a meter-base service entrance surge protection device which reduces power to a lower level, and is your first line of defense.

The second tier of protection comes from an in-home plug strip that sensitive equipment such as computers, TVs and microwaves can be plugged in to directly. The plug strip is designed to protect items that have micro-processors, which are more susceptible to surges. Each one of our devices comes with a comprehensive warranty, if the equipment is properly installed.

The plug strip is designed to protect items that have micro-processors, which are more susceptible to surges. Each one of our devices comes with a comprehensive warranty, if the equipment is properly installed.

In the market for a new electric appliance?

WFEC serviceman, Bo Ussery, installs a meter-base surge protector at a member's home. The meter-base surge protector is one of two tiers used to protect your sensitive electronics from dangerous surges. The other tier, an in-home plug strip, is much different from a regular power strip - read the article above to find out how.

Jell-O (Beet) Salad Submitted by: Thelma Summers

Ingredients: 14 oz. can beets 20 oz. can crushed pineapple Two 3 oz. packages of raspberry Jell-O (can also use strawberry) 2 tablespoons white vinegar 1/4 cup sugar dash of salt 8 oz. package cream cheese Small container of sour cream

CB Roofing Shingles • Metal • All Types 24 Years Experience New Roofs & Re-Roofs Repairs 5 Year Workmanship Warranty Owner: Chuck Brinkley FL License# RC 0067463

Directions: Drain beets & pineapple, reserve liquid. Dice beets up small. Place liquid in sauce pan & add water to make three cups. Heat juice, dissolve Jell-O in hot liquid and add the sugar, salt & vinegar, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour into 9x13 glass casserole or baking dish. Cover & place in ice box. Keep close watch on Jell-O, when it starts to gel, sprinkle beets & pineapple on top. Return to ice box to finish setting up. Let set for several hours or overnight. Before serving, beat cream cheese to soften, add sour cream and spread over top. Cut into squares to serve. *If allowed to get too firm, fruit won't float in Jell-O. Easily converts to diabetic recipe by using pineapple juice in sugar-free Jell-O & Splenda.

A Manual J calculation must be performed by a certified licensed HVAC contractor or a WFEC Energy Services Representative. This load calculation is mandatory to participate in the rebate program. 73922001 The amount of your rebate will vary depending on the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). SEER is a measurement of how energy efficient your heating and cooling unit is. The higher the SEER number, the more efficient your unit will be.

Here’s a breakdown of the rebates available:

Air-Source Heat Pumps: $100/ton

15 SEER

$150/ton

16 SEER or greater

$200/ton

Mini-split Heat Pumps: 14 SEER* (manufactured homes only)

If you wait until a hurricane is on your doorstep, odds are you will be in a hurry and make wrong decisions. Take the time while you can, to write down your hurricane plan and know where you will ride out the storm. Get your supplies ready now – you don’t want to be standing in long lines when a Hurricane Watch is issued. The supplies you need may even be sold out by the time you reach the front of the line.

Being prepared, before a storm threatens, makes you more resilient to the (1.855.699.3322) hurricane impacts of wind and water. It could mean the difference between your being a hurricane victim and a hurricane survivor.

his time of year, our thoughts turn to the tropics and what might be brewing there. What does storm season hold for us? It’s hard to predict. That’s why it is best to prepare well ahead of time. While things are calm, take a moment to evaluate your hurricane plans.

Remember that hurricanes are not just a coastal problem. Their impacts can be felt for hundreds of miles inland. The United States hasn’t been directly impacted by a major hurricane in more than a decade, but we need to remember that significant impacts can occur without it being a major hurricane. 65246001 It’s very important that you have a hurricane evacuation plan. The first thing you should figure out is if you live in a storm surge hurricane evacuation zone or if you’re in a home that would be unsafe during a hurricane. If you are, figure out where you’d go and how you’d get there if told to evacuate. You don’t have to travel hundreds of miles. Identify someone – a friend or relative who doesn’t live in an evacuation zone or unsafe

Please Make Room for Roadside Crews

CLASSIFIEDS

When the power goes out, so do West Florida Electric Cooperative’s line crews. Lineworkers are the first to respond after an outage occurs, and they work tirelessly to restore power to the communities we serve.

If you’re traveling and see one of our crews on the side of the road, we kindly ask that you move over if possible and give them a little extra space to work. We deeply care about the safety of all, and this extra precaution ensures just that. 54588003 If you approach a crew while traveling on a two-lane road, moving over to the next lane might not be an option. In this case, we simply ask that you slow down when approaching roadside crews. If you approach a crew while traveling on a four-lane road, and safety and traffic conditions allow, we ask that you move over into the far lane.

Utility crews aren’t the only ones who could use the extra space.

Emergency responders, such as police officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians, often find themselves responding to emergency situations near busy roadways. We ask that you follow the same procedures mentioned above to help keep these crews safe.

There’s plenty of room for all. Let’s work together to keep everyone safe on our local roadways.
