Nomination period is open for seats on Homer Electric Association’s Board of Directors
by Joe Gallagher
Homer Electric Association (HEA) is accepting nominations from members interested in running for a seat on the cooperative’s Board of Directors.
The cooperative’s Board is made up of nine directors, three from each of the three districts that make up the service area.
This year, the District 1 (Kenai-Nikiski-parts of Soldotna) seat held by Kenai resident Kelly Bookey will be on the ballot. In District 2 (Soldotna-Sterling-Kasilof area) the seat currently held by Sterling resident Dick Waisanen will be up for election. In District 3 (Kasilof-Homer-Seldovia area), HEA members will vote for the seat currently held by Don Seelinger of Seldovia.
HEA directors are elected by district, with members voting only for the director in their respective district.
Members interested in being on the ballot must fill out a Candidacy Packet that requires the candidate to gather at least 15 signatures from current HEA members that live in the district where the candidate resides. The Candidacy Packet is available at HEA offices in Kenai and Homer and online at www.homerelectric.com
The deadline to submit the Candidacy Packet is 5 PM on February 28, 2014. Completed packets can be dropped off at either the Kenai or Homer HEA office.
Ballots will be mailed out to HEA members on March 28, 2014, and the results will be tabulated and announced at the Annual Meeting on May 1, 2014, at the Soldotna High School. .

Seldovia’s Ann Anderson
Taken from Andy’s Facebook posting with permission by Andy Anderson
I’ve tried twice to post this, but each time I failed. I hopefully will be able to finish it this time. My loving wife and best friend passed away last night after a long battle with a demon known as Sine scleroderma. Her lungs were damaged so severely that she labored just to breathe. Finally it was too much for her heart and the Good Lord took her home.
As per her last wishes she will be cremated and then we will have a memorial service in Seldovia. We will post the time and date when we get it all figured out. Donica will be with me until the end of the month. She and Westin were able to come up and spend some time with Ann prior to her passing and that was great. When they walked into the room Ann’s eyes lite up and she smiled her biggest smile. it was a joy to see. She held their hands for the longest time.
I would like to thank all of you who rode this devil horse with us these last months and let you know that it would have been a much bumpier road had we not had all the love, support and prayers. I will always be grateful. On February 11th Ann and I would have celebrated 47 years of marriage. I was one lucky man to have such a loving companion and friend for all those years. Rest in peace. “My Lady. You will always be in my heart.”
