Giving to Community

Once again Ashley Substation, Inc. along with Sonic Drive-In of Sheridan sponsored the Forth of July Festival in Poyen, Arkansas.  ASI’s own John Ashley performed with The Rocket Band as they headlined the day of music and family fun.  The event was held on July 5 this year due to town scheduling conflicts,  However, the crowd turned out in large numbers.  Estimates put the crowd at around 2500, outperforming last years estimate of 2000.  The fireworks show was disrupted by a sudden heavy bout of rain.  Fireworks director Dennis Channel continued the show in spite of the rain and made it a memmorable experience for all as everyone huddle under tarps and pavilions to watch the fireworks display. 

Ashley Substation, Inc. intends to sponsor next years event as well as other worthy causes throughout the year.  Everyone at ASI is thankful for the opportunity to serve the communities of Arkansas and are dedicated to making the state a better place through community service & other charities.

PowerSafe Training

This month Ashley Substation, Inc. employees will begin to renew their commitment to safety by taking the powersafe.org refresher course for Entergy transmission contractors.  Between now and December, 2007 all employees will complete the course.  New technology has made taking the course more efficient, many ASI crew will take the refresher while on the jobsite.  In addition to powersafe training, ASI staff will brush up on first-aid, blood pathogens, and CPR training.
