Co-op to raise rates
By Richard Volesky
Editor/Reporter
In a letter to farm, residential.
cabin, well, and small commercial
users, Clayton Hoffman and Don
Franklund. co-managers of
Roughrider Electric Co-op, said the
co-op's board of directors has
adopted new member rate levels.
The new rates will be reflected
on the electricity bills that cus-
tomers receive in early February.
While each member's increase will
vary, members who use 1,000 KWH
per month will see an increase of $4
per month.
Roughrider Electric continues to
see general wholesale power cost
increases from Basin Electric,
according to the letter. These increas-
es are the result of additional expens-
es incurred at the generation level.
Roughrider Electric's fixed costs
have continued to increase over the
last several years due to system
upgrides and storm repairs, accord-
ing to the co-op. Accordingly, the
monthly fixed charge will increase
$2 per month•
The new charges include: month-
ly base charge, $20; first 1,000
KWH at .066 each; and greater than
1,000 KWH at .061 each.

More teamster attempts
Hello,
I guess this could be called the
"Winter of our Discontent". Or,
maybe that has already been used.
But, man, the snow just keeps com-
ing and coming and coming. Temps
below zero, wind chill advisory,
more snow...1 wonder where all the
white goes when the snow melts?
Last week, I was telling you
about my failed attempts as a team-
ster. You haven't heard them all yet.
We had Prince W. He was a one-
eyed bucking horse that drove pret-
ty darn good. In fact. Dad hooked
him up at the McKenzie County
Fair and Rodeo with one of Toby's
pickup horses and won the draft
horse-pulling contest. Three hours
later, someone won the bronc riding
on him.
And then there was Clyde. Clyde
was a huge percheron cross that
Linseth owned. He was blacker
than the inside of a cow and stood
about seventeen hands tall. Maybe a
little better. I couldn't stand the
sight of him just standing in the pen.
I had to drive him. You know, like a
painter who can't stand looking at a
blank canvas.
Trouble was, I knew very little
about breaking a team. If you
haven't already figured that out. I
had Lee, our neighbor come down
to help me. We called Lee for lots of
help over the years. I had been driv-
ing Clyde and another pretty much
unbroken horse around the corral.
Being the fixer upper that I am, I
had put a pole on an old wagon and
figured I had a pretty good outfit put
together.
Lawrence was a construction
worker that was staying at our place
at the time. He was part of a road
crew working in the area. And an
old family friend, He had just come
home from work and had cleaned
up to head into Joe's Bar. Joe had a
sign that advertised "Free Beer
Tomorrow" hung behind the bar.
Lawrence had seen the sign the day
before and didn't realize that the
same sign would be there that night.
Anyway, Lee helped me adjust
the harness. Kelly mounted up on
Zip and was going to snub the team
up to prevent any runaway.
Lawrence stood under the shade of
a tree with a beer in his hand, going
to watch this deal before he headed
for town. Clyde, the percheron was
a little antsy. He was throwing his
head and prancing around. The
other horse didn't seem to pay him
much never mind.
We got that team hooked up to
the wagon and I told Lee to jump
on. Lee just looked at me and grunt-
ed. "I never trusted a prancer", he
said as he declined the maiden voy-
age of my outfit:
The first few steps seemed to go
alright. And then that wagon box
started to rattle a little. Clyde start-
ed to throw a fit and the wagon rat-
tled a little more. The off horse got
excited and started to lunge in the
harness. Zip, our snubbing horse,
blew up and started to buck with
Kelly. Kelly pitched the rope in the
air and had his hands full. Like
usual, I was on my own.
Clyde and his partner ignored
my screams and headed out of the
yard. I was bounding around that
wagon like a bb in a box and trying
to pull on the lines. Things were
happening pretty fast and I was
pulling on the right line with all my
mite. We made a circle in front of
the house, tore through the garden
and scarred an oak tree with a tire
swing on it.
By then, I had lost all control,
and was pretty much just pulling for
my own exercise. We ran by
Lawrence and caused him to throw
his beer in the air and run for the
house.
The horses were in full stride
when we struck the side of
Lawrence's pickup. And this one
wasn't a glancing blow. The pole
struck the drivers side door right in
the Center. I can now tell you from
experience that a when a team hits
the side of a four-wheel drive pick-
up, the team will stop.
Much like my mule driving deal,
I flew through the air and landed
atop the team. My patched up har-
ness was pretty much demolished.
My wagon was wrecked. We had
broken a wheel on the oak tree.
Lawrence's pickup had a couple
thousand dollars damage. He had
spilled his beer. Kelly had ridden
Zip to a standstill.
I crawled off the top of the team
and walked shakily over to Lee,
who was still standing by the cake
house steps. The whole deal had
taken about ten seconds. Lee lit up a
Pall Mall, shook his head, and said,
"I never trusted a prancer".
Me neither.
