It’s more important than ever before to use our voices to ensure our interests are served when energy policy decisions are being made. For the last 22 years, we have had a fierce advocate in Pat O’Loughlin, CEO of Ohio’s Electric Cooperatives, and after his retirement in January 2025, we are certain incoming CEO Craig Grooms will continue defending the interests of Ohio’s electric cooperative members. https://youtu.be/14XMvpKUBcw

Gleaning is the practice of collecting leftover crops from farmers’ fields after they’ve been harvested. 🧑‍🌾 Rather than leave the perfectly good, but unharvested and unsold, produce to spoil, the farmer offers it to volunteers who come and pick it and transport it to a food bank for those in need. That’s exactly what the Society of St. Andrew - Ohio did with Champaign Berry Farm unexpectedly large peach bounty and has made several return trips to the farm throughout its growing season. 🍑 https://bit.ly/3Yoplbz

Roger Moore of Mansfield inherited his striking facial features from his grandfather, a full-blooded Carmel Indian – a group that lived in Ohio’s Highland and Meigs counties until as recently as the early 1900s. Moore’s features, in fact, are so characteristic of the Eastern Woodlands culture that artists and filmmakers have long sought him to pose for paintings or appear in documentaries, including PBS’s series called The War That Made America. https://bit.ly/4eRX6aw

Dorothy Montgomery is old enough to remember when Guernsey-Muskingum Electric Cooperative set the first electric poles along her country road in 1935. Each October, as cooperatives everywhere celebrate National Co-op Month, Montgomery’s story is a reminder of how neighbors and small communities came together to bring power to the nation’s farms and rural countrysides when the big electric companies determined there wasn’t enough money to be made there.

The Shawnees called it “Spaylaywitheepi.” When French traders and trappers arrived during the 18th century, they called it “La Belle Rivière” — the beautiful river. Of course, the name we most closely associate with it today derives from the Seneca word “Ohiyo”: “good river.” Here’s a brief history of the mighty Ohio River: https://bit.ly/4dRSkth.

Cooperation Among Cooperatives is one of the foundational principles that guide cooperatives of all kinds, but especially electric cooperatives. When we take a look at all that has been accomplished by electric cooperatives since the 1930s, it’s easy to see that we have always been better when we’ve worked together. Here’s what that has looked like  https://bit.ly/4gghtzo.
