UCS searching for
student applications
Fifteen years ago. United
Cooperative Services awarded
its first scholarships to local
high school and returning col-
lege students. The funds were
first made available by United
with the community-minded
goal of investing back to the
communities it serves. In those
first years United awarded one
scholarship to one student at
each high school in its service
area. In 1997, new funds were
made available by House Bill
3203, which allows nonprofit
electric cooperatives, like
United, to put unclaimed funds
to use for student scholarships.
This change in the law allowed
United to take advantage of
funds that were previously lost
in the state's general revenue
fund and allowed them to be
reinvested locally with a greater
and broader impact. This impor-
tant anniversary is an opportune
time to reflect on the significant
accomplishments of this pro-
gram.
This year, $1000 scholarships
will be awarded to 65 recipients,
which is representative of the
65-years United has been in
business. Upon recognition of
the 2003 recipients, 446 stu-
dents will have been awarded
scholarships, receiving more
than $400,000 in award money.
The Energy Scholarship was
established in 1989 by United's
democratically elected board of
directors, with the first ten
scholarships of $500 each. In
1998 the number of scholarships
was increased to 29, each at
$1,000, while last years awards
to 64 recipients totaled $64,000.
Winners will be chosen from
numerous applicants area-wide,
based on financial need, leader-
ship, and community and school
activities. Applicants must be
living at the residence of their
parents or legal guardians who
are active United members, at
their principle residence.
Applications are available at
any United office location or
online at www.united-cs.com
and are accepted June 1-15.
United Cooperative Services
is an electric distribution coop-
erative serving approximately
65,000 meters, over 45,000
members, with over 8,880 miles
of energized line. United serves
all or parts of Johnson, Erath,
Hood, Bosque, Somervell, Palo
Pinto, Coryell, Eastland,
Comanche, Stephens, Young,
Hamilton, Tarrant, and Ellis
counties.

MEGHAN REED
Reeds run away with
awards at Cowtown
I he lalher/daughter duo ol Robert and Meghan Reed recently
ran in the Cowtown Marathon in Fort Worth. Meghan came in 2nd
place in her age group of 18-24, and 28th place in women overall,
while Robert placed 14th in his Big Person group. There were a
total 61 050 runners who finished this race.
Even though they have participated in numerous 5k and l()k
events, this was their first marathon and their goal was simply to fin-
ish. They managed to far exceed their original goal. They enjoyed
this run so much that they are now getting ready for a marathon in
Oklahoma City in April.
These two have been running together since Meghan was a
freshman in high school in 1999. Their training routine varies from
running three to twenty miles at a stretch approximately four days a
week, depending on what they are currently training to do. 'The
Reeds are usually out very early in the morning regardless of the
cold, so anyone seeing this running duet should simply honk, wave,
and give them the right away!
The Texas Highway Patrol
investigated 27 rural traffic
accidents in Erath County dur-
ing January, 2003, according to
Sergeant Bobby Harpole, super-
visor for this Highway Patrol
Sergeant Area. These accidents
resulted in two deaths and 23
injuries.
The total rural traffic acci-
dents for Erath County for this
year are 55, which resulted in
three deaths and 41 injuries.
The twenty-two counties
which comprise Highway Patrol
District 6A have had a total of
1,439 rural traffic accidents this
year, which have resulted in 43
deaths and 815 injuries. This
compares to 1,309 accidents; 23
deaths, and, 755 injuries report-
ed during this same period last
year.
