The final event for the IES Cleveland Section is the Golf Outing on Friday, June 1. The Golf Outing is not only a fun event, but also used to generate funding for the CTS Student Scholarship presented in May and our local section programs. So, chase the millipedes and spiders out of your golf bag, clean the dirt off your clubs and get ready to spend a fun filled day at the course.
If you would like to attend the IES Clevleand Section Golf Outing, please contact Terry Kilbourne to RSVP.

We would like to thank Ted Tracy from Philips Gardco for presenting our April Program “Outdoor Area and Lighting Applications.” We would also like to thank Guy Day and Todd Manke from Intelligent Illumination for sponsoring and setting up the program.
As many of you know, this will be Terry Kilbourne’s last year as our Golf Outing Chair. Terry has been doing this for the past 12 years and we have appreciated the time and effort that Terry and his firm has put into the outing each year. We are looking into plans for next year’s outing. If you have any comments or suggestions, please pass them along to the Officers or Board Members so we can continue the tradition.
I would like to thank the Officers this year; Vice President: Kristen Millardi, Secretary: Henry Barker and Treasurer: Wendy Turkuc. I would also like to thank the Board Members for their support and assistance over the year; Joe Borzen, Jason Brown, Natasha Cekic, Brian David, Robert Doherty, Jr., Bob Martin, Rinara Reh, Dyke Riffle, Shelli Sedlak-Mejia and Dave Woytek.
As an educational side note: GE, Philips and Osram/Sylvania have been granted an extension on some of the 32WT8 lamps for a period of two years (2014). The lamps were originally to stop manufacturing in July of 2012. However, after the DOE energy conservation standards were issued, the severe export restrictions have occurred. The restrictions have caused huge cost increases and supply concerns for the rare earth materials required to produce the phosphors needed to meet the new efficiency standards. The older 32WT8 lamps consume less phosphor material than the newer energy efficient replacement lamps. Here’s a link to GE’s website explaining the issue. There are also similar letters from Philips and Osram/Sylvania on their websites as well. For more information, contact your local lamp representative.
Thanks again for a very good year. We have had between 33 and 55 people attending each of our educational programs this year and hope the attendance will grow next year. I have already received calls for potential programs for the 2012–2013 season. If you have any suggestions of programs you would like to see next year, please send them to me or Kristen so we can fill the slots for next year’s programs.
I am looking forward to my last year (2012–2013) as your IES Cleveland Section President. Thank you for your support and see you at the Golf Outing. (I will be easy to recognize. I will be the one in the rough or in the adjacent fairway chasing down my golf ball.)
Richard Rutledge
IES Cleveland Section President
