ltnfbf~ '-~'L~ ·""'-~ ~~-·i~ fi~tt/11Jtef!~. !ffl/t ,_. ~,_, _)~ Lifeline is a government benefit program that provides discounted phone service to eligible, low-income consumers. Life­ line provides a monthly credit of $9.25 on the basic service portion of the participant's telephone bill. The credit applies on the main home telephone line listed in the name of the eligible telephone company subscriber. Lifeline subscribers may also block long distance calls on their telephone line at no charge (also called TOLL LIMITATION).

Eligible consumers may receive one benefit per household, either wireline or wireless service. All consumers must prove their eligibility to enroll and subscribers must re-verify their eligibilty every year. Only one Lifeline discount is allowed per household. Under federal law, WRT is required to access the FCC's National Lifeline Accountability Database to verify if a customer is currently receiving Lifeline, as well as provide information to the database regarding new Lifeline subscribers.

WHY IS SMART HUB AWESOME? First and foremost, SMART HUB is secure. It was created by National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC), which is an information technology company that develops and supports software and hardware solutions for Member-Owners who are primarily utility cooperatives and telecommunications companies. NISC has overseen WRT's accounting & bill­ ing software system since 1996. This includes compiling and mailing our monthly bills to customers. When creating the SMART HUB application, NISC made sure all critical customer information would be encrypted in every transaction and no personal information would be stored on the mobile device.

SMART HUB is also user-friendly for both online and mobile applications. In addition to being secure, NISC tested to make sure the application would work on both Apple/iOS and Android operating systems, as well as on your personal computer.

Finally, SMART HUB is convenient. Your account information is right at your fingertips. You can look at your current and past bills. You can make payments and/or set up automatic bill payments. You can easily connect with WRT in a number of ways, including contacting WRT's Customer Service Department with questions, accessing WRT's Facebook page or checking out WRT's videos on YouTube.

Enter Andrew Holle, as a fourth generation dairy producer you could say milk runs through his veins. His bloodline also includes a strong trait for innovation! Andrew's passion and pride were evi­ dent as he noted his family's history, "Great Grandpa Fred Holle was part of the New Salem pioneers who brought pure breeds to the dairy business". He added, "My grandpa {Wafter Holle] was the first to have a free-stall barn and one of the first parlors in the state of North Dakota. He was also one of the first to use Al [arti­ ficial insemination] breeding". Andrew's dad, Kenton Holle, later added, "Wafter was very innovative, he always looked for ways to make things better. 'Working smarter, not harder' was his mantra. He built a lot of cool things and bought cautiously". Andrew shared that his father, Kenton, carried on that· same mantra as they set up their new facilities, adding "Dad [Kenton] also established the importance of being involved in the community and on industry boards that impact our business, as well as all aspects of dairy for consumers". And now Andrew and his wife, Jennifer, are continuing with numerous innovative practices such as WRT surveillance cameras, radio frequency ID tags, automated feeding programs and the area's only rotary parlor "merry-go-round" system. As Andrew explained, "I wanted to stay in the dairy industry and do what my parents did, only smarter and by virtually multiplying myself". Everywhere you look on Northern Lights Dairy, you now see black, white and WOW! The Holies' dairy operation originally began in New Salem and relocated to the St. Anthony area in 2003, under the ownership of patriarch, Kenton, and wife, Bobby Jo Holle, and newlyweds, Andrew and Jennifer Holle. Twelve years later, the business is going strong for the Holle families with 600 cows, 15 full and part­ time employees and four extra helpers (ages 3-11 years), who show early promise of being fifth generation operators. Andrew and Jennifer's youngest son was helping in the office the day of WRT's visit, keeping an eye on the cartoons streaming on the com­ puter and the TV screen of surveillance cameras on the wall. At first glance, Jennifer is a typical busy mom of four kids, who maybe has a slight addiction to her smartphone. Within minutes of meeting, you realize she is the nurturing force behind this op­ eration as she's glancing down to check her "babies" on her phone or sneaking a peak at one of the camera monitors stationed in the office building.

Although she may have 'mar­ ried into the business', her upbringing as a pas­ tor's daughter is evident in her care and compas- sion for every aspect of the dairy operation. With a mother's mixture of love and tenacity, Jenn shared her passion for "being respon- sible for the care of live creatures, every single animal is part of us, it's like a family." If you aren't easily convinced, then check out one of her many social media links as she takes to WRT's Internet to share their families' purpose and role in dairy, noting "we may be from North Dakota but realize we can affect people in other states". The Holle family has re­ ceived state and national recognition for their efforts in efficiency and innovation. Jennifer stated with pride, "We are very transparent with the community. People can come here and see where their milk comes from; how our animals are treated with respect and tour our facilities". She added, "People will come in the door and just stand for 10-15 minutes watching the {WRT surveillance) cameras on screen." Jennifer later joked, "Andrew is far more addicted to his phone and checking the cameras". It appears to be a trade-off that works for the Holies to enjoy more quality family time in comparison to the standard perception of dairy families rarely getting to leave their milking barn. When asked about their experience with WRT's surveil­ lance cameras, the Holies admitted to trying out a do-it­ c .. · 1·' yourself-camera system about five years ago. After time-con­ '.' suming battles with poor quality, wireless cameras and metal buildings, among other things, they found they had invested a great deal of time and money for a system that didn't work as hoped. In July 2014, they turned to WRT for help. Andrew shared, "We felt reassured by Aaron [Wick, WRT I& R Manag­ er] that we were getting a good quality system, plus the ben­ efit of having someone install it, make sure it's working right and come back if needed." The Holies saw the benefits im­ mediately as during the installation process they noticed a cow down in one of the pens. "We didn't know what happened and who or what was the cause. Jarett [WRT Installer] rewound the recording on the DVR and we could see a cow had hit the other and knocked it down". The Holies cited several reasons for having the cameras, in­ cluding, "safety for our cows and employees, as well as con­ sumers. We have millions invested and can't be there 24 hours a day to make sure everyone is representing you and your family to the best of their abilities." The 16 camera locations include one on the milk holding tank, to prevent any chance of contamination; four on the milking parlor itself; several in both the free-stall barn and calf barn. You really could just stand and stare at the screens for minutes, if not hours. The dairy has the ability to view all 16 cameras at once, focus in on just one camera or view in multiples. Andrew ex- plained, "The cameras help provide additional training and a visual example of proper protocol when teaching employees, plus keep our quality standards up".

The dairy works with the University of Mexico on an internship pro­ gram, which includes having a veterinarian and vet techs on staff. They hold employee meetings every other week; follow a detailed employee handbook and are always looking at ways to be more efficient as they grow 15% every year. The employees typically live on site and work a 4.5 hour shift, trading out periodically. Northern Lights Dairy is a Grade-A facility that sells their milk to Land O'Lakes in Bismarck, ND. They milk 365 days a year at 6:00am, 2:00pm and lO:OOpm. The entire operation is almost like walking through a hospital or church, as it's all very serene and peaceful with the occasional "moo" or quiet conversation between people mixed in. Everywhere you look at Northern Lights Dairy there is some form of technology. The Holies explained, "the level of caring is our reason for all the technology'; adding "it [technology] just pulls it all together - the monitors, the RF ID tags, the TVs, the computers, the employees - it's bringing together all the information to make the best decisions". The milking parlor utilizes cameras, as well as milk meters indicating how much each Holstein is producing both real time and overall, which then uses a wireless access point to feed the information back to the office computer. The free-stall barns are equipped with cameras and the makings of a beach party with fans, continuously cleaned and washed sand bed­ ding (another cool innovation), and even sprinklers for when the temperature heats up. Upon taking a closer look at these bovine beauties, you'll see radio-frequency ID tags attached to their ear that help identify and monitor each cow. You'll also notice some wearing pretty blue necklaces, also known as heat collars, to record their body temp and activity level to help gauge when they are going into cycle. Just down the walkway is "labor and delivery" where a handful of Holsteins were patiently waiting for their calves to arrive, all under the careful eye of a few cameras too. A quick trip across the road to the calving barn welcomes the newest members who are bundled with blankets, heat lamps and treated to warm bottles via automatic feeders. Using a wireless point-to-point access, they can electronically transfer feed recipes from the office to the mixer in the nursery. With the data received from the ID tags, they can deter­ mine the amount of colostrum and other nutrients each particular calf needs - we're talking a specifically mixed formula in a freshly made bottle in real time. Using the combined technology from the ID tags and the PC-programmed feeder, the Holies can tell how much and how fast each calf is eating, which not only helps save labor costs but also helps immediately diagnosis and prevent any illnesses. Andrew added with the help of the cameras, ''lennifer can glance at her phone and see if one of the calves is eating enough or maybe getting sick". The overall health and disease-prevention is of huge im­ portance to the Holies, as Jennifer noted, "we have a closed herd and don't bring others in, we're bio-secure. We do all we can to prevent any diseases and provide visitors with disposable boots when needed''. With another quick glance of her phone, the busy mom of 700 bovine babies was off to greet her three older kids as they got off the school bus. When asked what the future holds for Northern Lights Dairy, both were quick to respond they plan to continue "giving back to the community and giving back to better impact our surroundings to see where milk comes from, our lifestyle and our commitment" as the generations before them instilled. The Holies are always willing to provide tours (call 445-7500 to set it up in advance). They are also working on plans for the next "Breakfast on the Farm" event to be held in June 2016, which will include the new feature of monitors for everyone to stop and watch their WRT surveillance cameras in action. Be sure to pour yourself a nice cold glass of locally-produced Land O'Lakes milk and check out www.northernliqhtsdairv.com or follow Jennifer's blog at www.dairvdishanddash.com ...

After 30 years of service at WRT, the former Marine has hung up his work belt and left every­ thing neat and tidy - as always. Hammargen, originally from Harvey, ND, joined WRT in 1984 after serving in the Marine Corps. He started as an Installer and earned Combination Tech status in 1994. Hammargren was then promoted to CO/Network Tech in 2005, the position held until retirement. Hammargren was known throughout the company for lending a hand, never leaving any task undone and being an all-around Mr. Fix-It. One co-worker recently shared, "I knew Kip had to be working in the area as the snow was cleared off the sidewalk at my outpost office by the time I got back". Those traits will likely continue with Hammargren's next chapter as his future plans include doing handyman work on smaller projects and possibly some form of missionary outreach. When asked about his years working with technology at WRT, Hammargren shared "The internet and fiber networks was by far the biggest change I saw take place. I never thought I'd see the day people wouldn't care if their phone worked or not as long as they had internet access". Hammargren was based out of the Hazen office but spent many years on the road noting "(my) favorite memories will be all the good people I was privileged to get to meet, welcomed into their homes and allowed to befriend many of them". He added, "I'll miss all the good people I had the privilege to work with, we truly formed another family with all the hours we spent together. .. it was more time than you got to spend with your own family. It truly knits you together seeing their children born, grow up to graduate and now they bring their own children home". Hammargren will now have more time to enjoy at home in Beulah with his wife, Jodi, as well as spending time with his two grown sons and his first grandson. Congratulations Kip & Enjoy Retirement!

WELCOME LINDA HELLQUIST • • • Welcome Linda Hellquist to WRT! Hellquist recently started as WRT's Temporary Field Engineer, .,­ reporting to the Hazen office. It was great timing for both WRT and Hellquist, as she graduated from Bismarck State College in December with an Associate Degree in Geographic Information Systems Technology. Hellquist is already finding herself buried deep in her mapping duties as WRT prepares for spring construction and the fiber upgrade project. Hellquist shared, "/enjoy getting to use what I learned (at BSC) and the people at WRT are awesome. I blink and it's lunchtime, blink again and it's S o'clock''. In addition to keeping busy at WRT, Hellquist enjoys the outdoors and the small town life. She currently lives in Stanton with her daughter, who attends Hazen High School. Hellquist also has two sons living in Mandan.
