The Federal Communica- tions Commis- sion requires all public safety and business mobile radio sys- tems to switch to a different ra- dio band width in a process known as narrowbanding, ac- cording to the FCC website. The issue is not with radios in police cruisers, which work everywhere, but with hand- held radios, said Campbell County Consolidated Dispatch Center Director Dale Edmond- son. In the tiny pockets of areas where there are difficulties, po- lice officers can hear dispatch- ers, but dispatchers can’t hear the officer, Edmondson said. “There will always be spots that portable radios are not go- ing to work,” he said. Because of the hilly geogra- phy, southern Campbell County is where many of these areas are, but they are spread out all over the county, Edmondson said. “Some are in urban and pop- ulated areas,” he said. Low spots in valleys and in- teriors of certain buildings of- ten pose problems for hand- held radios, and the issue is sim- ilar to zones where cell phones don’t work, Edmondson said. “Unfortunately, when we narrowband it just makes it worse,” he said. “It just in- creased the number of pock- ets.” To enhance police radio ser- vice in southern Campbell County, Fiscal Court endorsed an application to the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security for a $104,000 federal grant.

“It is just somethingthat has to be fixed oneway or another,” Edmond-son said.

Campbell County Ad-ministrator Robert Ho-rine said Edmondson hasbeen successful in obtain-ing Homeland Securityfunds in the past becausethe grants are intended

for emergency dispatch-ing.

If thegrantmoney isn’tavailable, then Edmond-son and the dispatch’sboard will have to takemoney out of reserves tomake the needed technol-ogy upgrades, Horine

said.It’s important to main-

tain the systems to allowpolice to be safe while re-sponding, he said.

“Dale’s doing his job tomake surewe have a fullyfunctional system,” Ho-rine said.

MarineCorps.He has alsoconducted criminal inves-tigations as a specialagent for the Office of In-spector General of Veter-

an Affairs.Trapnell said it was

time, at age 69, to giveyounger investigators inthe department a chanceto work on their own now.Part of his plan is to seesome of the country in anRV, he said.

“It’s still fun,” Trapnellsaid.“I’mgoingtomiss it.”

Trapnell said he still in-tends to volunteer for thepolice department andprovide polygraph assis-

tance.“I did all the polygraph

examinations, andnot justaround here, but formanyarea (police) agencies,”hesaid.

Trapnell said it takes ayear of training to operatea polygraph, so not manypeople are qualified to dothat work.

Thefts, homicides, kid-napping, sexual assaultand financial fraud areamong the various types

of cases he has investigat-ed. Amisconception is po-lice investigators are re-sponsible for punishingcriminals, he said.

“I just determine whathappened,” Trapnell said.

If a person was falselyaccused of something,Trapnell said he did hisbest to get them cleared.

Trapnell said Alexan-dria has had good pro-grams he has been in-volved with including acitizens police academyand a crime scene investi-gation class for residents.

The first case he everworked involved investi-gatingarockthrownintoavendingmachine so some-one could take a single 75cent sandwich, he said.He’s advanced on to big-gercasessince then,Trap-nell said.

“Hewas involved in thefirst case in CampbellCounty to convict some-one on DNA evidence,”said Alexandria PoliceChief MikeWard.

Ward said Trapnell willbe missed, but because ofhis professionalism andwillingness tomentorpeo-ple there are now four of-ficers certified in foren-sics in the department.

put the 911 service fee on-to another utility bill, pos-sibly electric, because thelandline fee was on aphone utility bill.

Judge-executive StevePendery said the county’sordinance does things likecharge any single com-mercial unit one $45 annu-al fee even if it is a largeretail store because com-ing up with a way to mea-

surewhat to charge is fairis difficult.

“There is no perfect so-lution,” Pendery said.“There are only lessflawed solutions to lookat.”

Pendey said the dis-patch center has had a flatbudget for years, and hasalmost depleted reservesmeant topurchasenewra-dio equipment.

Rechtin said thecountywasmissing an opportuni-ty to renegotiate the inter-local agreement the coun-ty has with the cities of

FortThomasandNewportto pay for the dispatchcenter.TheCampbellCon-solidated Dispatch Cen-ter, located in Newport,was created by mergingthe two cities and thecounty’s dispatch centersin 2001.

Since 2001 the numberof landlines the dispatchcenter receives fundsfrom has dropped from45,000 to 28,000, Rechtinsaid.

Money from the coun-ty’s general fund has beencoveringadecline inreve-

nue for the dispatch cen-ter, Rechtin said.

“Over that time thiscounty has put in $3.3mil-lion to backstop this,” hesaid.

Commissioner BrianPainter said right now thecounty is spending$260,000annual tosupportthe dispatch center out ofthe general fund. Paintersaid he has been examin-ing the dispatch center’scosts and revenues close-ly. “It’s runningonaprettyslim nickel,” he said.

Then the Sleepin’ DogswillhaveaCDreleasepar-ty for their new album atthe Southgate House Re-vival in Newport Sept. 13.

Members of the Slee-pin’Dogsgrewup in the12Mile area of Californiaand Alexandria, and havebeen playing at least“semi-professionally”since 2005, said lead sing-er and guitarist RandySteffen of Bellevue.

Other members in-clude bass guitarist JoeSeiter of HighlandHeights, drummer AdamRecord of Highland

Heights and guitaristZach Rowe of Alexandria.

The exposure of open-ing for well-known bandsand performing originalmaterial live at area ven-ues in the past two yearshas elevated the band’svisibility, Steffen said.

“I think the peak is howpeople have been noticingus more because we’vebeen working hard,” hesaid.

The new album hasnine songs written bySteffen. Songs on the al-bum, including “Skin” andthe title track reflect howtimes are changing and“going with the flow,”Steffen said. Steffen saidhe took some cues fromhow Bruce Springsteenputs together an albumwith story lines.

“Tonightwe’re startingtopractice those songs forCD release shows andhopefully like a mini tour

in the fall,” Steffen said.Rowe said the first al-

bum, “Love Takes its Toll”contained everything theband members and Stef-fen wrote over a period of10years.Thenewalbumisspecial because it waswritten in one year, Rowesaid.

“So, it’s a littlemore co-hesive as far as a sound,and we’re proud of it be-cause we’ve developed asound that’s a little morerock, but they still stick totheir country roots,” hesaid.

Rowe said the band hasbeen getting away fromthe bar scene in the pasttwo years and went to theoriginal venue scene.

“We see Sleepin’ DogsT-shirts out around now,we see The Sleepin’ Dogsbumper stickers on theback of people’s cars ofpeople we don’t know,which is nice,” he said.

Theproject, scheduled tobecompleted in October, willtransform the plaza area be-tweenNKU’sFineArtsCenter,Founders Hall, Steely Libraryand Landrum Academic Cen-ter, much like Phase I of theproject transformed the otherhalf ofNKU’scentralplaza lastyear. Old, deteriorated con-crete will be removed and re-placed with new paved path-ways, beautiful gardens andmany trees. Numerous nicheseating areas are designed tofacilitate communication,study and discussion in a beau-tiful and relaxing atmosphere.

A green roof planting areawill be located next to SteelyLibrary, above the university’scentral receiving area, provid-ing a quiet seating area over-

looking lush greenery. An am-phitheater will be constructedon theslope fromtheplaza-lev-el entrance outside CorbettTheatre for outdoor theatricalperformances, filmscreeningsand other events.

The renovation will also in-clude granite benches flankedbyground-level fountains, pro-vidinga sereneand interestingmeeting space. A special areahonoring veterans is alsoplanned.

“Eachyear,NKUbecomesamore beautiful, relaxing cam-pus,” said Ken Ramey, NKUvice president for administra-tion and finance.

“Our students reacted verypositively to Phase I of the pla-za renovation, andwe’re confi-dent that the reaction to PhaseII will be even stronger. Crewsare working tirelessly thissummer to continue the cam-pus transformation that beganseveralyearsago,andIwant tothank everyone involved inthis beautification effort.”

Nancy Costello believes 35minutes a week can changesomeone’s life.

As the One-to-One ReadingInitiative coordinator for theNorthernKentuckyEducationCouncil, she matches strug-gling elementary school read-ers across five counties withteen and adult mentors whosimply spend time reading to-gether every week.

She said the One-to-Oneprogram started in 2008 with30 reading coaches but now itencompasses 400 volunteersin 35 schools in Boone, Camp-bell, Grant, Kenton and Pen-dleton counties.

“Our volunteers are a verydiverse group,” Costello said.“Our reading coaches rangefrom community volunteersfrom local businesses to par-ents ofyoungchildren to retir-ees.”

She said high school stu-dents coach readers in someschools, to help meet the needfor volunteers.

Costello is actively seekingmore volunteers for the pro-gram.

Coaches are required tocomplete sixhoursof training,which is held at locationsthroughout Northern Ken-tucky. Training dates, timesand locations will be listed onthe website, www.nkyec.org,by July 15.

Background checks are re-quired for each volunteer.

Volunteers can also regis-ter online, or call Costello at859-282-9214 for more infor-mation.

The whole program is builtaround the idea that one men-tor will read one-on-one withone student once a week forthe entire school year.

“It’s not only working onimproving reading skills, butalso developing that mentorrelationship, a positive rela-tionship. The coach can en-courageconfidence in readingas well as an improvement inreading skills,” said Costello.

She said the program hashad amazing results.

Based on reading scorescollected throughout the year,89 percent of the program’sstudents have shown continu-ous progress in reading, saidCostello.

She also hears from teach-ers and administrators aboutthe program’s qualitative re-sults.

“They say students im-prove their confidence andstart reading more in class.They’re enjoying readingmore, and they have the ex-citement of a positive rolemodel in their lives,” Costellosaid. “They have a desire tocome to school andparticipateand see the value of reading.”

If you think breastfeedingsuccess is all up to the motherand baby, you’re wrong. It’strue that the actual act ofnursing is between mother andbaby, but to set a mother upfor long-term success atbreastfeeding, she’ll need helpfrom the baby’s father, grand-parents, friends, family, heremployer and policymakers.

The statistics demonstratethe struggle: In Kentucky,more than half of moms, or52.6 percent, start out breast-feeding their infants. Ournumbers are much lower thanthe national average of 77percent breastfeeding at birth.

Then reality sets in. Momsget home, and they have otherchildren, housework, workoutside the home, errands torun … and the breastfeeding

rates fall off.Just 32.5 per-cent of babiesin Kentuckyare breastfedat 6 months;by 12 months,the numberdrops to 18.9percent.

In 2011,Regina Benja-min, then theU.S. Surgeon

General, released a call toaction to support breastfeed-ing. In it, she wrote, “Giventhe importance of breastfeed-ing for the health and well-being of mothers and children,it is critical that we take ac-tion across the country tosupport breastfeeding.”

While we still have a long

way to go, recent policychanges are making breast-feeding easier.

The Affordable Care Act,commonly referred to as Oba-macare, requires health insur-ance plans to cover lactationsupport and counseling. Thismeans women with insurancecan get lactation consultationsand breast pumps (rental orone for you to keep) at no cost.

There’s a catch, though: Theprovision only applies to insur-ance plans created afterMarch 23, 2010. Many womenare covered by plans createdprior to this, which are exemptthrough a grandfather clause.However, as plans are revised,more women will be covered.

If you are pregnant andplan to breastfeed, or are cur-rently breastfeeding, call your

insurance provider to see whatbreastfeeding benefits you areeligible for.

Provisions in the Afford-able Care Act also supportwomen who choose to pumpbreast milk once they returnto work. Employers with morethan 50 employees must pro-vide mothers with a privateplace, other than a bathroom,in which to express breastmilk. They must also givewomen “reasonable breaktime” in which to pump for upto a year after the child isborn.

Lastly, Kentucky law alsoprotects breastfeeding moth-ers. State law is that, “A moth-er may breastfeed her baby orexpress breastmilk in anylocation, public or private,where the mother is otherwise

authorized to be.” This meansmoms have the right to feedbabies in public.

We’ve heralded the healthbenefits of breastfeeding formany years, and that effect isshown by the increase in thenumber of mothers who initi-ate breastfeeding.

But for long-term success,we need a shift in our culture –to a society that is more sup-portive of mothers who chooseto breastfeed their babies, sothat the good intentions of themother who initiates breast-feeding at birth are easy tomaintain with the support ofher family, friends, employerand community.

Trash 4 Cash – Aperfect fit

When the Bishop Bros-sart High School LadyStangs Soccer team waslooking for anewfundraiser,we came across the Trash 4Cash program. We initiallyconsidered a lot of options toraise funds needed for thegeneral expenses of theteam, but weren’t able tocome up with an idea thatseemed to fit.

We wanted to involve thegirls, avoid selling anything,and if at all possible, benefitthe community. The Trash 4Cash Program turned out tobe the perfect fit.

The team met, along withparents to supervise, onaSat-urday morning and we cov-ered 10 miles of CampbellCounty roadway. We were allshocked at how much trashwascollected, almost30bags,but were very pleased tospend the morning as a teamdoing something worthwhilefor the County.

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR

I’m not in the trenches teach-ing public school K-12 students,but I parent a couple of them. Ishouldn’t complain. Literallyhundreds of hard-workingteachers havemade sure thatboth children received a solideducation. I’m proud of themand proud of our schools. I won-der, however, if we’re not miss-ing out on some golden educa-tional opportunities.

For context, our schoolshave our children as part of acaptive audience nearly ninemonths a year, five days aweek, 6.5 hours a day. Notevery hour is particularlyproductive. My son learnedabout quilting in English class.My daughter spent many dayson Egyptian history. Both chil-dren have watched popularmovies on DVD or VHS duringclass time. There is one thingabout which they have learnedalmost nothing in nearly 20,000hours of formal education –capitalism.

I’m sure that capitalism istaught somewhere in NorthernKentucky’s public schools. I’mnot talking about instruction onwriting a check, a special pro-gram like Junior Achievement,

or a discussionof capitalismversus social-ism, as if theywere equal.(They’re not.)I’m talkingabout intelli-gent instruc-tion on busi-nesses andcapitalism asmandatory,

core teaching. And if I can’t getthat, I’d settle for it at the tailend of an English class, in lieuof quilting.

A child who understandsbusinesses and capitalism neversees the world the same. Thefruits of capitalism surround us.Literally every physical object,other than nature itself, camedirectly or indirectly from cap-italism.When children see aniPhone, they see a way to textfriends and play apps. See big-ger. See amodernmiraclewhich changed the world andcame our way via profit motiveand capitalism.

When children see a mag-nificent new office building,let’s open their eyes so they seemore than shapes and colors. If

we teach them, they will seethe impact a courageous devel-oper and her business willhave on a community. Theywill see families with new jobsand stable incomes. Showme abetter and easier way to ex-pand a child’s horizon.

With an hour and a PowerPoint, we can teach studentsabout how the marvels of cap-italism delivered most of ourjobs and creature comforts,enhancing our quality of life. Itwould be easier to teach thanEgyptian history, more rele-vant, and more fun. Imaginehearing true stories aboutbrilliant business ideas, hardwork, and overcoming longodds to achieve success whichhelped the world.

If this doesn’t inspire you,let’s get practical. Educationexists, mostly, so our childrencan get jobs if they need them.Think of basic reading, writ-ing, math and science as one’sfoundation. Capitalism andbusinesses provide the occupa-tional framework throughwhich we execute this learn-ing. The pieces of our life puz-zle don’t fit without it.

If we’re not teaching cap-

italism because, as my sonsuggests, it’s “too political,”we’re in big trouble. It’s onlythe engine which drives ourentire economy. If we’re notteaching capitalism becauseour teachers don’t agree with itor don’t understand it, which Idon’t believe is the case, we’rein big trouble. If they say thereare just no more instructionalhours, we can make betterchoices with our time.

We can continue to teachquilting, or we can seize a his-toric opportunity to favorablyseparate ourselves from therest of the country. We canbecome the region which em-phasizes business educationand capitalism in grades 6-12 inour public schools. What’sstopping us?

“I couldn’t have beenprouder,” said Matt Guy ofAlexandria, speaking abouthis 19-year-old son Bret win-ning the eighth annual WorldChampionship of Cornholelast month at Turfway Park.

Matt is himself an icon ofthe sport, a five-time worldchampion. “I remember whenhe was 4 feet tall and asked,‘Dad, can I throw with you?’”

Now that his son is the newking in singles, “It was assweet a win as any win I everhad.”

“Here’s the father-and-sonmoment,” he pointed out whilewatching a YouTube video onhis tablet. It showed Mattgrabbing Bret after his bigwin and lifting him. “I couldn’tquit crying, honestly.”

Though both of them havebeen playing cornhole formore than 10 years, they’renot really sure why they’re sogood at it. “The first time Iever played it was at a party Iwent to with a bunch offriends. I was like, ‘What’sthis?’” Matt recalled.

But they have some tips.“Figure out how to throw theflattest bag possible withclockwise rotation,” Matt said.“If your bag is flat and spin-ning clockwise, it’s going toslide through.”

Bret stressed the impor-tance of concentration.“You’ve just got to ignoreeverything around you, justzone in and focus on what

you’re doing. If you lose that,you lose the game.”

“It’s like every othersport,” Matt added. “You’vegot to be mentally strong.”

What is the biggest chal-lenge? “The difference in thecompetition between when Istarted playing it and now isunbelievable,” he shared. “Itused to be a couple good guys.Now everybody is good.”

Does the sport providemuch exercise? “It’s definitelya good exercise. You’re bend-ing, you’re picking up, you’rewalking. You constantlymove,” Matt answered. “Youwouldn’t think throwing aone-pound bag 27 feet wouldwear you out, but it will.”

The two travel around thecountry together, playing inover 40 tournaments a year.

“We win money at it –which is cool – but we alsospend a lot of time togetherbecause of this sport,” Mattsaid. “We make an unbeliev-able amount of friends. All theplayers are like one big happyfamily.”

A total of 348 competitorsfrom 23 different states tookpart in the eighth annualWorld Championship, whichwas sponsored by the Amer-ican Cornhole Organization.“It was in Las Vegas for fiveyears, it was down in Tunica,Miss., for two years, and thisyear was here in Florence,”

Matt explained.ESPN filmed this year’s

tournament for “KennyMayne’s Wider World ofSports,” a show about discov-ering the world’s most exhila-rating sporting events.

“Kenny Mayne told me thatthe ‘19-year-old son of the5-time champion winning’ wasjust a great story line for theshow,” Matt said.

Bret talked about his dreamjob. “I’d love to play this gameand make a living out of it.I’ve not met anyone that hasdone it, but I think it’ll be pos-sible in the near future.”

Sometimes I wish Iwas a high-tech person.Like a while back when Imade dilly beans and took

photos ofthe beanspickedfrommygardenalong withphotos ofthe fin-ishedbeans aftercanning. Istill havethe photo

of the garden beans, butthe finished beans in jarsphoto has vanished and Idon’t know how to re-trieve it frommy camera.I can’t take another photobecause, well, the beansare all gone.

The recipe makes fourjars and were so goodthat we ate a jar and gavethe other three away. ButI promise you will lovethe beans, photo or not.

I was blown away bythe huge response to TomW.’s request for a 7-Upcake that was publishedyears ago in the Enquirer.The stories alone mademe chuckle, not to men-tion how good all therecipes looked. I willshare both in an upcom-ing blog. Today I’m shar-ing two versions: Onefrom scratch, which Tomwanted, and another us-ing a cakemix. Somefolks don’t ice the cake,

but others do so I’m shar-ing icing recipes as well.

Rita’s classic dillybeans

Friend and colleagueLeah Ochs, director ofJungle Jim’s cookingschool, has a similar reci-pe and substitutes Sri-racha sauce to taste forthe pepper flakes.

2 generous pounds greenbeans, trimmed to fitcanning jars

4 teaspoons dill seed or 4large heads dill

4 small cloves garlic1 teaspoon red pepperflakes, divided (optional)

21⁄2 cups clear vinegar21⁄2 cups water1⁄4 cup canning salt

Pack beans lengthwiseinto four hot pint jars,leaving 1⁄4-inch headspace. To each pint, add 1⁄4teaspoon pepper, 1 clovegarlic and 1 teaspoon dillseed. Bring vinegar, wa-ter and salt to a boil. Pourimmediately over beans,leaving 1⁄4-inch headspace. Remove air bub-bles by sliding a butterknife around inside edgesof jars. Wipe rims cleanwith damp cloth. Placeseals and rings on. Proc-ess 10 minutes in boilingwater bath. These arebest eaten chilled.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

If you don’t want tocan these, cap and seal,cool to room temperatureand store in refrigeratorup to six months.

7-Up cake fromscratch

Here’s Donna A.’srecipe from 30 years ago.Tomwanted a from-scratch recipe, so hope-fully this will work.

11⁄2 cups butter, softened3 cups sugar5 eggs3 cups flour2 tablespoons lemon extract3⁄4 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 325degrees. Cream sugarand butter together andbeat until light and fluffy

(about 20 minutes with anelectric beater). Addeggs, one at a time andbeat well. Add flour onecup at a time. Beat inlemon extract and 7-Up.Pour batter into a wellgreased and floured jum-bo, fluted Bundt pan.Bake for 1-11⁄4 hours.

Simple lemon glazeThis is one I use for

lemon pound cake. Juststir 2⁄3 cup confectioner’ssugar with 1 tablespoonor so lemon juice.

Diane Byrne’s 7-Uppound cake usingcakemix

Diane, a Lovelandreader, told me: “I got this

frommymom severalyears ago. I’ve nevermade the glaze withoutthe alcohol. I’m not surewhat you’d substitute.”Any suggestions?

1package Duncan HinesLemon Supreme CakeMix

1 4-cup package instantlemon pudding

1⁄2 cup vegetable oil4 eggs1 cup 7-Up

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Combine aboveingredients and beat 2minutes. Prepare a Bundtpan (spray well) and pourmixture in. Bake 45-55minutes.

Diana’s glaze

Diane didn’t say if shecooked the glaze, but Iwould assume the sugarhas to melt, so I’d cook itover very low heat untilsugar melts. Add bourbonlast.1⁄2 stick butter, meltedScant 2⁄3 cup sugar1⁄3 cup bourbon (or whatever,rum is good too)

Stir in bourbon. Prickholes in cake and pour onglaze.

Doris Poore’s 7-Upcake icing

Doris, a Kentuckyreader, had a recipe usinga cakemix and also hadan interesting icing. “Theindex card is all yellowedand stained. So, I knowit’s a good one,” she said.

2 eggs, beaten1 tablespoon flour1 cup crushed pineapple,undrained

11⁄2 cups sugar1 stick margarine1 cup coconut

Cook all ingredients(except coconut) untilthick, add coconut andpour over hot cake. Topwith pecans.

We’ve all experienceit; someone comes toyour front door trying tosell you something. Butis it a good idea to buyfrom a door-to-doorsalesman? One areawoman says after theexperience she’s hadshe’ll never do it again.

Jessica Jones, ofButler, Ky., says a sales-man came to her doorlast February. “We werehome and I got a knockon the door from a gen-tleman. He says he wasselling reflective signsfor your mailbox.”

The companywasselling the signs for $20apiece and Jones boughtone. Her receipt says itwas supposed to havebeen delivered inMarch.

But now,more thanfourmonthslater, shestill didn’thave it.“Needlessto say itsstill notinstalled.I’ve called

three different times andreceived promises ofthem being out to install it– but still no sign,” Jonessays.

Jones does have num-bers on her mailbox, butthey’re not reflectivenumbers so they maynot be visible at night ifsomeone calls for po-lice, fire or an ambu-lance.

That’s why she saysshe really wanted thosereflective numbers forher mailbox.

“I’m just aggravated.He took $20 from methat day with a promiseof a sign that I neverreceived. How manyother people are outthere with that samepromise that maybeeven forgot about it?”Jones asks.

A check with theBetter Business Bureaushows the company hasreceived more than adozen complaints, main-ly from people who saythey too never receivedtheir reflective signs.The BBB gives thatcompany an “F” rating.

When I told Jones

about the Better Busi-ness Bureau report shesaid, “Wow, wow. It justgoes to show don’t everbuy anything from adoor-to-door salesman.”

Such complaints arenot at all uncommon.I’ve received manyletters from homeown-ers who paid for maga-zine subscriptions yetnever received any-thing. In one case ahomeowner did receivethe magazines but real-ized too late she hadgreatly overpaid for thesubscriptions.

In Jones’ case I con-tacted the reflectivesign company ownerwho said he was busytaking care of custom-ers to whom he had

failed to deliver thesigns. He says he gotbehind and blamed theweather for the delay.After I called he finallydid get the sign put onJones’ mailbox.

So, what should youdo if a salesman comesknocking on your door?You could refuse to buy,as Jones has vowed. Or,if you’re interested inthe product, I suggestyou go ahead and placeyour order. But, just aswith Girl Scout cookies,don’t pay until theyreturn with the product.

NOTICEPlease take notice that Duke Energy Kentucky, Inc. has applied to the Kentucky Public

Service Commission for approval to revise its Demand Side Management (DSM) rate for electricservice and gas service for residential and commercial customers and add new products for itsDSM program available to customers. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate forresidential gas customers is ($0.039396) per hundred cubic feet (ccf) and for non-residential gascustomers is $0.000000 per hundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSMrate for residential electric customers is $0.001988 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) and for non-residential customers is $0.001104 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and $0.001070 perkilowatt-hour for transmission service.

Duke Energy Kentucky seeks approval to revise these rates as follows: Duke EnergyKentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential gas customers would increase to ($0.038919) perhundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers would remain at $0.000000 per hundredcubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers wouldincrease to $0.002003 per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers would increase to$0.001131 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and would remain at $0.001070 per kilowatt-hour for transmission service.

The rate contained in this notice is the rate proposed by Duke Energy Kentucky.However, the Public Service Commission may order a rate to be charged that differs from thisproposed rate. Such action may result in a rate for consumers other than the rate in this notice.The foregoing rates reflect a proposed increase in electric revenues of approximately $91thousand or 0.03% over current total electric revenues and an increase of $31 thousand or 0.03%over current gas revenues.

A typical residential gas customer using 70 ccf in a month will see an increase of $0.03 or0.04%. A typical residential electric customer using 1000 kWh in a month will see an increase of$0.02 or 0.02%. A typical non-residential electric customer using 40 kilowatts and 14,000 kWhwill see an increase of $0.39 or 0.03%. Non-residential gas customers and non-residentialelectric customers served at transmission voltage will see no change in their bills from thisapplication.

Any corporation, association, body politic or person may by motion within thirty (30)days after publication or mailing of notice of the proposed rate changes, submit a written requestto intervene to the Public Service Commission, 211 Sower Boulevard, P.O. Box 615, Frankfort,Kentucky 40602, and shall set forth the grounds for the request including the status and interest ofthe party. The intervention may be granted beyond the thirty (30) day period for good causeshown. Written comments regarding the proposed rate may be submitted to the Public ServiceCommission by mail or through the Public Service Commission’s website. A copy of thisapplication filed with the Public Service Commission is available for public inspection at DukeEnergy Kentucky’s office at 4580 Olympic Boulevard, Erlanger, Kentucky 41018 and on itswebsite at http://www.duke-energy.com. This filing and any other related documents can befound on the Public Service Commission’s website at http://psc.ky.gov.

Question: Are lawnand garden pesticidesharmful to the earth-worms in the soil, whichare beneficial?

Answer: That de-pends on which chem-icals you are using, sincethey vary in their toxic-ity to earthworms. It’susually not much of aproblem in gardens,orchards, or flower beds,where the pesticide issprayed directly on theplant, not on the soil. Itdoes become more of afactor in lawns, however.

Once called the “in-testines of the Earth” byAristotle, earthwormsare both indicators ofsoil health and help toimprove the soil as theymove through it. Earth-worms tunnel deep with-in the soil, creating chan-nels for air and water topass through. As theytunnel, they bring upnutrients from below andcarry organic matterfrom the surface, mixingit into the soil. Earth-worms can consumetheir own weight in orga-nic matter each day, andCharles Darwin in his 39years of studying earth-worms, found that in ahealthy environmentthey can create as muchas 36,000 pounds of Ni-trogen-rich castings peracre.

A soil rich in earth-worms helps plants togrow. In home lawns,earthworms can alsohelp prevent harmfulthatch build-up as theyconsume dead roots andstems and mix soil intothe thatch layer. This soilencourages microbialactivity that helps breakdown the thatch evenmore quickly.

Excessive applica-tions of Nitrogen canreduce earthworm pop-ulations. Earthworms aregenerally intolerant ofacidic soils (pH < 6.0).

Many commonly ap-plied fungicides andpesticides can damageearthworms too. Remem-ber to treat only whennecessary, using theleast toxic product forthe job. Use spot treat-ments rather than wholelawn applications wherepossible, and try to avoidapplications when earth-worms are most activenear the surface. Univer-sity of Kentucky re-search has shown the

followingtoxicitylevels toearth-worms:
