Energy Efficiency
Tip of the Month Periodically inspect your dryer vent to ensure it is not blocked. This will save energy and may prevent a fire. Manufacturers recommend using rigid venting material – not plastic vents that may collapse and cause blockages. #energyefficiency
CHEC Awards Scholarships
he employees and Board of Trustees of CHEC support the educational goals of area youth by awarding the Herman Driscoll Memorial Scholarship. Each year four college bound graduates in the CHEC service area will each receive a $500.00 scholarship. CHEC is pleased to announce the 2017 scholarship recipients: Laney Marie James of Gans High School, daughter of Jesse and Lisa James; Alexis Huckbay of Gore High School, daughter of Richard and Ronda Huckbay; Ashley Thomas of Quinton High School, daughter of Jay and Pamela Thomas; and Tyler Hudspeth of Stigler High School, son of Chris and Shawna Hudspeth. CHEC employees initiated the scholarship program in 1997 in memory of long time employee and former general manager of
CHEC, Herman Driscoll. Mr. Driscoll believed that education is of foremost importance of success. The scholarships are solely funded by employee fundraisers and donations. Their goal is to provide eligible graduating seniors the opportunity to further their education. To be considered for this scholarship, students must submit an application and two letters of recommendation. Students must plan to attend a state accredited school or technical school offering an associate or bachelor degree. The program is open to any graduating senior whose parents or guardians are members of CHEC.

Dirt Road Custom Calls
Pictures courtesy of Travis Oaks
What happens when you can’t find a duck call in a store that you really like and that doesn’t cost you “an arm and a leg?” You start making your own. That’s what Travis Oaks did. Travis has been making his own calls for about three years. It was about the time that Duck Dynasty came out and he thought, “Well if those guys can do it, I can,” said Oaks. He saved up his money and bought the equipment to start making duck calls. Travis grew up in the Stigler area. He moved to his grandfather’s place that once was the Dirt Road Cattle Company, which gave him the idea for the name for his calls, Dirt Road Custom Calls. Travis is married to his lovely bride Tina, and they have two sons. He works for Okie Drilling as a driller during the week, and on the weekend he works in his shop making calls. “It just seems to get busier every year as my calls get better,” said Oaks. Dirt Road Custom Calls makes duck calls, goose calls, turkey calls, and predator calls. The price for his duck calls range from $60 to around $75 for acrylic calls. To learn more, check out the Dirt Road Custom Calls’ Facebook page www.facebook.com/Dirt-Road-Custom-Calls-1467579576838746/, or call Travis Oaks at 918-490-1279.
