you missed a few things – not to mention the beautiful weather! For the 10th year,
ATC sponsored the Zoological Society of Milwaukee’s event called </span><a href="http://www.zoosociety.org/Events/PartyforthePlanet.php"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri;">Party for the
Planet</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;">. This “green” event celebrates our planet and commemorates Migratory
Bird Day and Earth Day. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">ATC featured three different activities this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /> </span><br />
At the Northwestern Mutual Family Fun Farm, nationally renowned horticulturist,
author and radio/TV host </span><a href="http://www.melindamyers.com/"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri;">Melinda Myers</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><u><span style="color: #0563c1;"> </span></u></span>assisted children in planting a low-growing, native
species butterfly garden. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Melinda is ATC’s spokesperson for the </span><a href="http://www.atcllc.com/learning-center/trees-and-vegetation/grow-smart/"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Calibri;">Grow
Smart</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> program, which helps educate landowners about planting low-growing,
native species – especially in the transmission line right-of-way. The Grow
Smart Butterfly & Pollinator Garden is in the shape of a butterfly and will
become a permanent exhibition garden at the Zoo that will attract pollinators
and birds for years to come. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the US Bank Building Gathering Place (the Zoo’s main
entrance), ATC volunteers staffed a booth that educated visitors about
pollinators. Kids and adults played Name that Pollinator game, learned about
different types of pollinators and picked up their free common milkweed seed
packets – along with a few other goodies. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

grounds, a local Cub Scout pack from Bay View assisted the Zoo’s forestry crew
and other volunteers in planting more than 40 trees. In the coming months, a
total of 100 trees will be planted. This is the second year that ATC has
granted funding to the Zoological Society of Milwaukee, which is used to remove
damaged vegetation and invasive species and replace them with native trees and
shrubs within the Zoo’s 200 acres. Restoration of the area near the lake helps
diversify the plant and animal species, improve air quality, reduce the Zoo’s
carbon footprint and enhance the beauty of the grounds.</span></span></div>

and the many Zoo-goers and participants -- made the weekend’s event quite the
party. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

Reed followed up with her team, and over the next year, computers that reached the end of the ATC lifecycle were donated to Eastbrook. ATC donated 19 desktop computers and 25 laptops, along with an LCD projector, which greatly expanded Eastbrook’s computer lab.<br /><br />Frank Lee, Eastbrook’s IT director, said, “The donation has helped the school immensely…it has pushed (the students) into a more 21st Century technology classroom.”<br /><br />A group of middle-school children use the computers during their English Composition class for peer-editing, “which is much more difficult when you’re doing it in paper and pencil,” according to their teacher, Lisa Johnston.<br /><br />We’re happy to have been able to fulfill the needs of Eastbrook’s computer lab and to see that the students are both enjoying them, and using them to develop new skills in an academically challenging environment.<br /><br />To learn more about Eastbrook Academy and its powerful academic programs, <a href="http://www.eastbrookacademy.org/">click here</a>.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10417567692220798509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815596421776575205.post-71978520048374017272015-01-22T09:22:00.001-06:002015-01-23T07:57:24.696-06:00ATC named one of the nation’s top workplaces<br />

The full category in which ATC participated was Manufacturing and Production/Energy Distribution, as it was the established category that came closest to encompassing ATC’s unique business model as a transmission-only utility. Pewaukee, Wis.-based ATC, with 650 employees, was formed in 2001 as the first multi-state, transmission-only utility in the country.<br />

American Transmission Co. owns and operates a high-voltage electric transmission system made up of overhead and underground power lines and facilities.<br />
<br />
To ensure worker safety, anyone doing excavation or construction needs to take the proper steps to locate power lines and plan ahead to complete the work at a safe distance from the lines.<br />

ATC practices and promotes safety. Diggers Hotline provides excavator safety meetings to educate contractors, excavators, municipal workers and utility workers about safe work practices near power lines. ATC partners with Diggers Hotline at these meetings to promote awareness, provide information and answer questions about working safely near our facilities. Meetings started earlier this month and run through April 2015.<br />

As a company and individuals we support local organizations with our time, funds and in-kind donations. And while the first thing you think of when an electric utility comes to mind may not be fun, we like to weave it in whenever we can. Here’s how some employees are having a good time while giving back.<br />

Banana phones and white elephants<br />

Manager of Real Estate Sarah Justus started the tradition last year; buying a number of wacky and wild items and encouraging her team to bid on them white elephant-style for charity. <br />
<br />
“The generosity of my colleagues is amazing. It was very fun and personally gratifying to support such an inspirational organization,” said Justus.<br />

Betting with baked goods<br />
</h4>
<br />
Three Madison, Wis., employees made the annual Second Harvest Foodbank Share Your Holidays food and fund drive a little more interesting by making a friendly baked goods wager. Each team captain bet their team would collect the most meals, with the winning team receiving baked goods from the second and third place team leaders. More than 1,850 meals were raised during the campaign.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10417567692220798509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8815596421776575205.post-657100641285709762014-11-24T16:32:00.001-06:002014-11-25T09:42:17.922-06:00ATC project recycling efforts really pay off<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="clear: right; float: right; height: 287px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right; width: 374px;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Environmental stewardship is a core value at American Transmission Co. that saves valuable resources and helps protect the environment. Last year, ATC and its contractors achieved an incredible rate of re-using or recycling 99 percent of non-hazardous construction waste. This included more than 4,864 tons of various metals, glass, wood, concrete and cardboard. This year to date, ATC and its contractors have recycled more than 3,476 tons of material and collected $667,363 through construction project recycling efforts.</span><br />

and commuters were able to watch the transformation over the past year and a
half while we removed the old structures, installed the new poles and strung
wire across six lanes of traffic – all while the interchange was kept open to motorists,”

our work more than two months ahead of schedule because there was great
communication and collaboration among the DOT and the multiple utilities
involved.” <br />

The rigorous selection process included a written
application, but the bulk of the weight of the application came from an
employee survey about benefits programs and company practices. Seventy-one
percent of ATC employees participated in the survey and their responses placed
ATC in the 95 percentile for positive marks in the five dimensions of a great
workplace: credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie.</div>

“Every day, we strive to be a company where engaged and productive employees enjoy working. The best way to measure how we are doing is to ask employees for feedback,” said ATC President and CEO John Procario. “We are honored to be named among the best places to work in the country, most importantly because it is our employees’ assessment that put us there.”<br />

Here are a few things that employees had to say which helped
get ATC in the top 25:</div>

One of the ways we demonstrate this commitment is through our avian stewardship.<br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">According to the Department of Natural Resources, about 87 percent of Wisconsin’s breeding osprey population nest on platforms. There are more than 100 nesting platforms located on or adjacent to transmission lines in ATC’s service area, and these platforms support successful breeding of this once declining species.<br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">These platforms protect the birds, enhance electric reliability and promote continued recovery of the species.

“Hey, it’s Ben Gura again – and I am so happy to say I am
writing the final day’s blog while sitting comfortably on my couch at home! I
made it safe and sound with only a couple of mechanical issues on the bike. My
legs are sore but in a good way – and the rest of my body is happy to be off
the bike. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><br />
<br />
The last ride day, Saturday, was bittersweet. Everyone was
excited to be finished and to ride into the closing ceremony, but also
disappointed that we would have to leave all of these new friends we made. The
40 miles went way too fast. I spent the first 20 miles with the fast guys just
to see what it was like to put the hammer down and it felt great! The last 20
was a slow processional with a lot of chatter. It presented a great opportunity
to say thank you to all of those I had ridden with throughout the week.</div>

the front of the pack to lead the way to Mount Mary College. This is where all
of our friends and family had gathered and where the international tree
climbing championships were being held. As we turned into the college entrance,
the entire road was filled with people cheering and clapping for us. It was a
really nice moment to see how happy everyone was to see us. Among those
cheering was my family…now that made me smile!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After hugs and kisses from the family and a quick round of
pictures we had the final presentation. <a href="http://www.treefund.org/home">The TREE Fund</a> thanked the sponsors and identified
the 10 ten individual fund raisers. Team Wisconsin was the top fund raising
team which was our goal! The <a href="http://stihltourdestrees.org/">Tour des Trees</a> raised over $500,000 for The TREE Fund this
year. I didn’t hit my goal but I am so happy at how close I came. I want to
take an opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who donated to The TREE
Fund! It really means a lot to me and your support really does help the trees.</div>

of over 23 trees, and a record number of educational events featuring <a href="http://www.professorpricklethorn.com/">Professor Elwood Pricklethorn</a>. As riders, we tend to focus on the miles and occasionally
we forget about the trees. But every tree that the Tour dedicates is a benefit
to the community, environment and ecosystem. Every tree will provide oxygen to
a cyclist, a shady spot to rest and a break from the wind. The trees are the
reason we ride! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My favorite part of the Tour was the educational events for
the kids. Tour rider Warren Hoselton – aka “Professor Elwood Pricklethorn”
does an outstanding job engaging the children and helping them understand the
importance of trees. I heard that the Tour entertained over 300 kids during
this year’s events. That’s 300 kids who now have an appreciation for “planting
the right tree in the right place,” understanding what trees give to the community
and hopefully having a desire to do more with trees as they get older. Who knows… maybe
one or two of those kids will be foresters when they grow up!</div>

grounds, following the presentations. This tree dedication was particularly
special because my family was there and my daughter, Morgan, and son, Jake, got
to see how silly a group of adults could be. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>What a great way to end the week! Thank you again to ATC for sponsoring the lunch and
educational event in New London. The Tour des Trees really matches our
corporate values and I hope that ATC will become a long-term sponsor of this great
event. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
And thanks to all of you for letting me share my experiences
with you during the past week. I’m now fairly certain: this Tour will not be my last...”

“Hey everyone - it’s Ben Gura checking in again from the<a href="http://stihltourdestrees.org/"> STIHL Tour des Trees</a>. We wrapped up this amazing ride on Saturday (which I'll have another update on), but I wanted to catch you up from the days prior. Talk about a great pedaling – lovely weather and scenic riding. </div>

Day five was a blast. It was a short 57 miles from Green Bay
to Sturgeon Bay. The day started with a once-in-a-lifetime tree dedication. The
City of Green Bay and Bartlett Tree Company had acquired a very special tree. What made this tree so special? Well, it actually derived from the
only surviving tree from ground zero. While cleaning up the rubble at the World
Trade Center in New York after 9/11, the workers found a pear tree that was
still alive. It was the only tree that survived the attack. Only a few trees
have been grown from the cuttings of the tree and it is very special for a city
to receive it. The dedication in Green Bay took place at a park near the Fox
River and the library. The City had commissioned a beautiful memorial for the
people from Wisconsin who died in the 9/11 attacks. It really was something to
see and will be a great place to visit. </div>

and a view of Green Bay. We had an early stop in Brussels and then a stop at
the home of a Tour rider’s friend, for a nice ice cold beer. Lunch was served
at a park right of Green Bay just north of Sturgeon Bay. We got into the hotel
so early my room wasn’t ready. But I took advantage of the time by doing some
laundry. We only get two jerseys so we need to wash them every couple of days.
Some people wash their clothes in the sink while others wear them in the shower
to wash them. I’m a fan of the guest washing machine that the hotels have. I
also had time for a soak in the hot tub, a trip to McDonald’s for a
cheeseburger and ice cream cone, and some more carb loading. We had a tasty
outdoor dinner and enjoyed a polka band while we relaxed a bit. The evening’s
activities capped off a wonderful day.</div>

and day six did not disappoint us on that; it was a short 120 miles to Port
Washington. I knew this was going to be a long day so I made sure to be up
early and ready to roll. A taco truck feed us breakfast burritos, which was a
welcome change from our standard breakfast before we rolled out at 7 a.m. The
day started with some long climbs out of Door County but as we made it to Lake
Michigan things leveled out. We had a slight headwind but I had a good group of
riders that I worked with for the whole day. When you get a group of cyclists
together that are willing to share the work of the ride, they can cover miles
quickly. Our group ranged from 5 to 10 riders throughout the day. We would each
take a turns “pulling” the other cyclists for a few miles then drop back into
the pace line. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Sorry for getting my cycling nerd out but there are a few
terms that you learn when pack riding. A pace line is a group of cyclists
riding in a line. They ride about 3 inches to 3 feet behind the rider in front
of them – and obviously, the closer the better. “Taking a turn” or “pulling” is
when you are the lead cyclist in the group. The lead rider splits the wind for
everyone else. This helps the other riders rest while the lead is pulling. A
good “pull” will set a pace that is comfortable for the group and they stick to it
without speeding up or slowing down. In our case it was 17 mph. After the
leader pulls, they move to the left and fall to the back of the pace line. When
you are not in the front you work about 30% less than the lead rider. It’s the
best way to get a lot of miles done quickly. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our day ended around 3 p.m., with 8 hours in the saddle, just
before a severe rainstorm with hail hit the hotel! At dinner we had
presentations from <a href="http://www.treefund.org/home">The TREE Fund</a>, and the rider awards were handed out. After
dinner I had to stop for a slice of pizza. For some reason I have been hungry
all week…could be the 500 plus miles on a bike?</div>

Days like
today are the ones I love! The weather was perfect and the roads were scenic
and rolling. We started our day early and managed to have gelato by 9 a.m. I
had 47 miles to lunch and was excited to see all of my peers in New London from
ATC. During those miles, I reflected on why I signed up for the Tour a second
time. <br />
<div class="MsoPlainText">
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Simply put – it’s the impact that the Tour has on the
communities it touches. Each of these towns opens their arms to the Tour when
we ride through. It seems that community members love seeing all of the riders
decked out in their matching kits – plus they’re happy to feed and hydrate us!
The message that the Tour sends about the value and importance trees on the
environment and community is always heard by the residents who attend the tree
dedications and the educational presentations. </div>

Smart</a> tent set up and were assembling the giveaway bags that the
kids got to bring home. They received books about trees, purple coneflower
seed packets, a kid’s activity guide and other goodies too. <a href="http://www.melindamyers.com/">Melinda Myers</a> was there to greet the
kids, talk about Grow Smart and answer any gardening questions that the guests had. We had some other
special guest as well including the mayor of New London. </div>

Elwood Prickethorn”</a> give his tree presentation. It was great to see the
kids getting involved and learning about trees and planting
“the right tree in the right place.” After the presentation, the kids dedicated
a tree in a very special Tour des Trees way.<br />

head. Then we <br />
rub our hands together to make energy. Next the energy is
transferred to the trees roots by pointing our hands at the roots, wiggling our
fingers and saying “the roots, the roots are on fire.” Then it ends in a loving rendition of John Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance” but instead the
lyrics go: ‘All we are saying...is give <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">trees</i>
a chance.’ Some of the kids get embarrassed about doing this but most think
it’s really fun. It was great to see my ATC friends and the kids that get to
hear the ATC and Tour des Trees message.
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText">
The day ended 53 miles later with a tree dedication to a
special kid who’s life was impacted by a car crash, followed by a lovely dinner at
Lambeau Field in Green Bay.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Now, just three days of riding remain and my legs are
getting stronger. We’re heading to Sturgeon Bay on Thursday, but cross your
fingers for a strong north wind on Friday as we had 120 miles to ride down to
Port Washington.”</div>

Three days are in the books and it has been an amazing
journey so far. Day one started with lots of excitement and energy as 80-plus cyclists gathered at German Fest (Summerfest fair grounds) for
the official kickoff.
A tree was dedicated and the riders used their energy to
help the tree get a good start in a very fun ceremony. The opening banner was
cut by a STIHL chainsaw and we were on our way to Madison. We took over the streets of Milwaukee with all of the riders were
clad in matching jerseys and helmets representing the Tour des Trees - overall,
an impressive sight. As the ride passed
Oconomowoc it was clear that this was going to be a difficult day. There was a
constant 25 mph headwind with gusts into the upper thirties. I’m a decent
cyclist but this proved to be very difficult. There were times where I would be
climbing hills and the wind would almost bring my bike to a standstill. Then
when I would need to rest on the downhill portions, I had to pedal instead of
coasting. It was the most difficult day I’ve had on the bicycle.

We headed west from
Madison to Blue Mound State Park and up the hill to dedicate another tree. On
the climb up I broke a spoke and my rim constantly rubbed on my brake making
the climb even more challenging. The great support group fixed it and I was
able to continue the day. We finished a very long 106 miles at 6:30 p.m. that
evening. The total footage climbed was over 6,000 feet which doesn’t seem like
much until you do it on a bike. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Day three was a great recovery day; a short 86 miles from Wisconsin
Dells to Stevens Point. After two very difficult days and over 16 hours on a
bicycle your whole body aches, especially your seat…Even though I knew today
would be easier it was very difficult to wake up and put on my cycling shorts,
jersey, helmet, gloves and cycling shoes. My gloves were still wet from
yesterday’s sweat which made them even more pleasant to put on. Overall, day three
went well. There was a minor accident in a group in front of me that left a
couple riders off their bikes for the rest of the day; fatigue from the
previous two days and close riding to one another are to blame. I finished the
day’s ride a little after 3 p.m. and I feel great.</div>

burned over 6,000 calories on day two, but this seemed low to me. On a normal
training ride I burn close to 1,000 calories in an hour! The Tour does a great
job keeping everyone feed and hydrated. Each day starts with a great breakfast
that it is typically high on protein and carbohydrates. Once the day’s ride has
started we have a rest stop before and after lunch where we can get snacks and
water. These stops are short and typically include shoving as much salty food
and bananas as you can get in your face before you’re off riding. Along the way,
the riders also track down some of their own favorite stops. For me it has been
for ice cream - twice on day two and once on day three. Lunch is catered in and
again, it’s high in protein and carbs, lots of chicken, potatoes, rice, and
fish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

have an appetite. On day one we had a pasta bar ready for us at the hotel as
soon as we arrived. This is perfect for a cyclist to help their bodies recover.
After the pasta bar we had our official dinner at the UW Arboretum. Most of the
cyclists go back for seconds or thirds on dinner just to help recover the
calories they are burning. I am averaging two to four chicken breasts per meal.

I’ve worked in utility vegetation management for over 15 years and have made a career of keeping trees out of utility rights-of-way to maintain safe and reliable electricity to help 'keep the lights on.' When I found out the STIHL Tour des Trees was returning to Milwaukee this summer I knew this would be a great opportunity for me to give something back to the trees.<br />

The STIHL Tour des Trees is a week-long, 583-mile bicycle ride. The Tour is also America’s largest fundraiser for tree research, which benefits The TREE Fund. Since 1992, The TREE Fund has raised over $6.6 million dollars for tree research and educational programs. Some of the money raised also goes to grants that help sustain urban forests, which is part of my role at ATC. In Wisconsin, forests are under attack from a variety of pests including the Emerald Ash Borer. The TREE Fund provides grants that are helping protect Wisconsin ash trees and by identifying new varieties of ash trees that may be EAB resistant.<br />

The Tour spreads the word about how trees are an important part of the urban landscape and a necessary part of the ecosystem. The Tour benefits people, trees and the environment. Recognizing that these traits align with ATC’s Tree Line USA award and ATC’s environmental stewardship, ATC is sponsoring the 2014 STIHL Tour des Trees lunch stop in New London on July 30. This should be a great event that will include presentations from the Tour’s “Professor Elwood Pricklethorn” and nationally renowned horticulturist, author and radio/TV host, Melinda Myers.<br />
<br />
Going all in on a seven-day 583-mile bike ride isn’t something that one takes lightly. Besides having to spend a lot of time on a bicycle training for the event, each rider is required to raise $3,500 for The TREE Fund. It’s a commitment that I’m happy to take on for the trees. Please help me reach my goal by donating below.<br />

The Tour's first day from Milwaukee to Madison was tough because we had a 25 mph headwind and got caught in two downpours. Monday's weather looks better though!

Vegetation Management Specialist <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-U-y4vT3fA">Ben Gura </a>will join nearly 100 other cyclists as they kick off the <a href="http://stihltourdestrees.org/">STIHL Tour des Trees</a>. Since 1992, riders have generated nearly $7 million for <a href="http://www.treefund.org/home">The TREE Fund</a>. <spacer height="12" id="spacer1" type="horizontal">This will be Gura’s second Tour. <br />
<br />
“I’ve made a living removing and pruning trees, so when I see an opportunity to give something back to the trees I jump on it,” said Gura. <spacer height="12" id="spacer1" type="horizontal"><br />

The STIHL Tour des Trees rolls out from Milwaukee and includes stops throughout central and southeast Wisconsin. ATC is sponsoring the Tour’s July 30 stop in New London. At 11 a.m. in Hatton Park, Toronto arborist and veteran Tour cyclist Warren Hoselton, also known as “<a href="http://www.professorpricklethorn.com/">Professor Elwood Pricklethorn</a>,” will present a free kid-friendly short course in tree science. The professor will be joined by renowned Wisconsin gardening expert <a href="http://www.melindamyers.com/">Melinda Myers</a>, who will talk about the importance of trees and how to <a href="http://www.atcllc.com/learning-center/trees-and-vegetation/grow-smart/">Grow Smart</a> by planting them a safe distance from high-voltage transmission lines. The 45-minute program will focus on how trees grow, where and how to plant trees to increase their longevity and what kids can do to care for the trees. <spacer height="12" id="spacer1" type="horizontal">The TREE Fund mission aligns with ATC’s environmental policy ─ benefitting people, trees and the environment. <br />

June was a particularly volatile month, with storms and tornadoes causing significant damage throughout western Wisconsin. <br><br/>
American Transmission Co. system operators <a href="http://host.madison.com/news/local/secret-places-control-room-can-monitor-miles-of-transmission-lines/article_f20e4c90-3f1b-56eb-8bf2-d56ca341f03a.html">monitor the grid and watch the weather very carefully</a>. We also have a Transmission Emergency Response Plan that helps employees effectively prepare for and manage emergencies that impact the transmission system. <br><br/>
In addition to a plan for responding to electric transmission emergencies, ATC has committed significant support to the communities it serves as a Red Cross Disaster Partner. The Disaster Partners program provides funds to local Red Cross chapters, which enables them to immediately assist people impacted by disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, house fires or tornadoes. This support includes shelter, food, clothing, medications and health services. <br><br/>
According to the American Red Cross, every nine minutes emergencies that never make the news leave families without shelter, disconnected from loved ones and in need of lifesaving blood. <br><br/>

The Western Wisconsin Region American Red Cross has produced a handy checklist for disaster planning and emergency kits. Key highlights of the checklist include:<br><br/>
• Create and practice a family disaster plan.<br><br/>
• Assemble an emergency-preparedness kit.<br><br/>
• Have at least one household member trained in first aid and CPR/AED.<br><br/>
• Choose two places to meet if separated by an emergency: Right outside of your home in case of a sudden emergency and outside of your neighborhood, in case you cannot return home or are asked to evacuate.<br><br/>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It seems hard to believe, but July is here and summer is finally upon us. For the gardeners and landscapers out there, the warm weather is a welcome relief from this slow growing season. Getting the appropriate grasses, flowers and plants to come up at the right time -- much less thrive -- has been a challenge, but there’s still hope! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Each year, more than 13,000 skiers descend upon Cable, Wis., to participate in the storied <a href="http://www.birkie.com/">American Birkebeiner</a>, or Birkie. The 50-kilometer cross-country ski event began in 1973, but the tradition goes back to Norway and the 1200s. Birkebeiners were charged with carrying the young son of King Sverresson and Inga of Vartieg to safety. They donned birch bark leggings and traversed the mountains and forests of the Osterdalen valley in Norway during the Norwegian Civil War. The child transported to safety by the Birkebeiners was King Haakon Haakonsson IV. Thousands of skiers commemorate this event across the globe each year. Norwegian skiers often will carry a pack that symbolizes the weight of an 18-month-old child. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Three American Transmission Co. employees joined in the tradition this year and powered through bitter cold to finish the race.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: medium; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Transmission Planning Engineer Chris Hagman had a warm-up race in sub-zero temperatures weeks prior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, so when the mercury rose above freezing, it was a pleasant surprise for this tough racer.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: medium; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<div style="border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: medium;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Of my seven Birkies, this was definitely the hardest and the slowest,” Hagman said. His girlfriend, Marianne, helped make the race a little more entertaining by organizing a group to provide comic relief and encouragement at a very steep hill just before the end of the race. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: medium; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Construction <span style="font-size: small;">C</span>oordinator Paul Roltgen also agreed about the difficulty this year, calling his sixth Birkie the hardest one to date. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Thursday night prior to the event, the Hayward area had 16-plus inches of snow. The new snow combined with the cold and the strong west wind certainly made it a challenge,” Roltgen said. “To put it into context, I finished 45 minutes slower than my fastest time. I still loved being in the winter wonderland surrounded by woods and upbeat competitors, many who keep coming back year after year.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: medium; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And what might a Professional Engineer who works at an electric utility call out as one of the highlights of the race? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: medium; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“At a certain point after about 9 kilometers, racers travel below a 138-kilovolt circuit. There are hundreds of skate skiers on one side of the right-of-way going up and down the rolling hills right below the lines, while the classic skiers are on the other side doing the same,” said Project Manager Andy Ehlert. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Another highlight for Ehlert is an elaborate drumming display that takes place at the top of a hill. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: medium; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<div style="border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: medium;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“At one point at the top of a hill climb we pass by about 50 people from the local Lac Courte Oreilles tribe as they bang loudly on huge drums,” said Ehlert. “The skiers march up the steep hill in rhythm and it is awesome! It gives me goose bumps each time I pass by and really brings home the spirit of the race in that region of Wisconsin.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
