FORT THOMAS—A pro-posed property tax hikewill increase city reve-nuesbyalmost $200,000ayear if approvedbycoun-cil Tuesday, Sept. 2.

Council was sched-uled tovoteon the rate in-crease at the 7 p.m. Tues-daycouncilmeeting, saidCity Administrator DonMartin.

The rate increase re-flects a 4 percent in-crease in property taxrevenue, Martin said.

(The meeting happensafter Fort Thomas Re-corder’s print deadline;watch for updates at Cincinnati.com.)

The proposed ratewillbe $3.78 cents per $1,000of assessed property val-ue, compared to the 2013rate of 3.72 cents per

$1000. If someone owns a$200,000 home, the taxwill be $756 for the yearif the new tax rate is ap-proved, he said. Therewere no members of thepublic in attendance at afirst reading of the ordi-nance at an Aug. 26 pub-lic hearing and relatedspecial City Councilmeeting after the hear-ing.

The city’s propertytax revenue anticipatedfor 2013 was $4.42 mil-lion, and the proposedrate is anticipated tobring in $4.616 million.

Council unanimouslyapproved a $10.83millionoperating budget at theJune 16 meeting, accord-ing to a previous story inthe Fort ThomasRecorder.

A 4 percent rate in-crease was anticipatedby the budget approved

by council, Martin said.“The members of City

Council approved an in-crease of 4 percent inrevenue when theyadopted the annual bud-get,” he said. “The rate,

at that time, was notknown because the taxrolls had not yet been re-ceived from the propertyvaluation administra-tor.”

Joe Ewald, director offinance, said the $54,891in anticipated additionalrevenue from new prop-erty counts revenue cre-ated when things like anew property identifica-tion number is createdwhen there is a subdivi-sion of land or new con-struction.

There are a couple ofhouses being built uparound Villa Grande, hesaid. Villa Grande is aFischer Homes commu-nity off Chesapeake Ave-nue.

Villa Grande is in theCampbell CountySchools district, but inthe city limits of FortThomas.

It’s true. Regular oil changes, tune-ups and maintenance can help improve your vehicle’s performance and gasmileage, extend its life and increase its resale value. It can also help reduce traffic congestion due to preventablebreakdowns. But possibly most important of all, taking good care of your car could help reduce emissions bymore than half. And that should make you breathe a lot easier between oil changes. So keep it up because…

Imagine a developer’scost of buying 10 nine-teenth-centuryU.S.Army,Queen Anne houses on ahillside overlooking theOhio River in Fort Thom-as.

Youmayhaveoveresti-mated. They’re appraisedat only $510,000, makingeach of their 15 livingspaces (five are duplexes)worth an average of$34,000.

There’s a catch, ofcourse: These housesneed major work – fromutility lines and sewerhookupsofall kinds tores-toration work. Restora-tion could cost $500,000 to$1million per home.

Fort Thomas officialshave been pushing for adozen years to get federalapproval to sell the ne-glected homes to a devel-oper for future homeown-ers.

The city learned latelast month, after 12 yearsof trying to make the ar-rangementwith the feder-al government, that it canfacilitate the sale of thehistoric houses onAlexan-dria Circle to a developer,said City AdministratorDonMartin.

“We’ve been trying fora long time to get docu-ments inplace to allow thecity to acquire the homesfrom the Veterans Ad-ministration,”Martin saidFriday. “It took an act ofCongress.”

In 2007, the appraisedvalue was $2.5 million.

“It’s dropped dramat-ically,” Martin said.

The houses, listed onthe National Register ofHistoric Places, are set in

a cul-de-sac in the formerFort Thomas Army Post.Theycannotbe torndown.

“To be modern homes,there is going to be a lot ofwork to take place,” Mar-tin said.He compared it tohaving a subdivisionwith-out any utility work in-stalled.

Martinestimated thatafull exterior restoration,the work to historicalstandards inside and theutilities work will cost$500,000 to $1 million perhouse.

Empty since 2002, San-itation District 1 took thehouses off the sewer sys-tembecauseof significantleaks and undersizedpipes. The gas system is apipe that connects to eachhouse in a circle, and wa-ter linesalsohave tobere-placed.

“Everything has to beseparated and builtagain,” Martin said.

Residents of FortThomas grew weary ofwaiting for the federalgovernment to approve

the city’s requests to getthe houses into publichands.

“Itwillbethetalkof thetown,” Martin said.“They’ve grown a little

frustrated with the timeline, as have we to someextent.”

Awalker inTowerParkon Friday, Gene Scroggin,81, has his doubts aboutwhether the houses willagain thrive.

Scroggin said hedrilled on anearby field inthe 1950s as a member ofthe Army Reserve. “It’s ashame the way the gov-ernment dragged its feeton this,” he said.

Itmight be hard to finda buyer, he said, becausethe houses contain asbe-stos and leadpaint andarein a state of “total deterio-ration.”

Even so, city officialsare confident.

“We’vehadseveral (de-velopers) over the yearsexpress interest,” Martinsaid.

Peeling paint surrounds the address number on one of thelate 19th century houses on Alexander Circle, Fort Thomas.The houses were built for use by Army officers at FortThomas and first occupied in 1890.

FIRST PASS AT 2014 HIGHSCHOOL VOLLEYBALL

ALEXANDRIA—Ifyoucan’tbeat’em, join ’em. When Robyn Curryneeded a change of pace, she sawan opening pop up and she movednorth to take over the CampbellCounty High School volleyballprogram.

Curry takesover theCamelsaf-ter five years at George RogersClark High School. She won 405matches in 25 years andmoved onfrom Clark, who is in the 10th Re-gion with Campbell County. Shewas 93-70 with the Cardinals, win-ning four straight district titles, afirst for that program. Now, she

takes over a Camel program thathas won the regional champion-ship the past two years.

Having standouts like CarsonGray and Kirby Seiter on the ros-ter to go with a few other experi-enced seniors in Haley Cundiff,Emily Rich and Kourtnie Rubershouldmake the transition as easyas possible. Seiter is the top re-turning threat on offense. Gray isa veteran setter who directed theoffense last season. Cundiff is aveteran libero.

The Camels have seven seniorsoverall and the new coach saidstaying injury-freewill behelpful.

“We need towork harder on de-fense and take advantage of our

height and our blocking game,”she said.

Campbell Countywas 22-15 lastyear but 13-1 in 10th Region play.The Camels fell to Scott in a gru-eling five-setmatch in the regularseason then rebounded from a 2-0deficit to beat the Eagles in five inthe regional tourney.

In the state tourney, theCamelswere pairedwith conference rivalNotre Dame in the first round andfell in three sets.

Campbell plays at Simon Ken-ton Sept. 4. The Camels are 2-4heading into play this week.

Newport and Walton-Verona have a lot of simi-larities, most notablytheir power rushing at-tacks. Friday night spe-cialteamswerethediffer-ence between the 2A pro-grams as the Wildcatsbeat the Bearcats 36-26 atNewport Stadium.

Newport senior BrianBurtonreturnedtheopen-ing kickoff 84 yards for atouchdown,Waltonhadanerrant snap on a punt thatset up an easy Newporttouchdown late in thethird quarter and theBearcatsmissed threeex-tra-points and a 22-yardfield goal in the loss.

Burton, who madeplays all over the field invariousroles,alsoaddedareceiving touchdown andpicked off two passes inthe fourth quarter to icethe Newport win.

“He’s an absolute gam-er,” Newport head coachMatt Schmitz said of hissenior. “He’s one of thoseguys ever since I got herethathas just competedhisbutt off.”

Burton knew by theway that Walton was lin-ing up on the openingkickoff that he was goingtogethischance toputhismark on the game on thefirst play.

“They linedup left, so Iknew theywere kicking itto me,” Burton said. “Theholemy teammatesmadewas so big. I owe it all tothem.”

Senior running backDominic Joseph led theWildcats’ offense with 111yards on 16 carries asNewport was able to ef-fectively run the footballwhen it needed to most.Senior quarterback PaulPrice pitched in with 11carries for 84 yards and ascore, and junior TyreeBolden added 38 yardsand two touchdowns oneight carries.

“It’s like a securityblanket, the way we runthe ball,” Schmitz said.“We can still get creativeand be deceptive ... butwe’re just running it rightat them. It’s fun.”

The turning point inthe game came with 3:46left in the third quarterwhen Walton-Veronatried to punt on fourth-and-9 from its own33, and

“There’s three phasesto the game,” Walton-Ve-rona head coach JeffBarth said, referring tohis team’s special teamsstruggles. “We’ve got towin all threephases of thegame, but I’mnot going tosithereandsayweplayedpoorly and did this andthat. We tip our hats toNewport.Welost toagoodfootball team.”

Walton respondedwitha 3-yard touchdown fromsenior Justin Kline to ju-nior Jared Poore that wasset up by a 29-yard con-nection earlier in thedrive between Kline andsenior JamesMartin.

However, a missedtwo-point conversion leftthe Bearcats trailing bytwo. A daring call bySchmitz’s staff, opting togo for it on fourth-and-2on their own 25 with just

over4:00toplaypaidhugedividends when Priceburst through the line fora 4-yard gain. Josephripped off a 9- and then a57-yarder on the next twocarries to set up a 5-yardtouchdownrunbyBolden,hissecondof thenight.Jo-seph tagged on the two-point conversion to makeit a two-possession game,36-26.

Burton picked off apass with 2:20 left to play,and another with under aminute to seal the victory.

“It feels great to getthis win,” Burton said.

The two teams playedeven football through afirst half that was high-lighted by big plays.

After Burton’s kickoffreturn to start the game,Walton-Verona answeredmidway through the firstquarter with a big play ofits own as senior WilliamLatimore ended a promis-ingNewportdrivewithaninterception at the Bear-cats’ 25 that he returned71yards to theNewport 4.Mason Compton made itan 8-6 gamewith a 2-yard

Josephand Price each racked up16 yards on back-to-backruns to start the drive andtake the ball into Walton-Verona territory. Boldenmade it 14-6 with his firsttouchdown of the game, a3-yarder with 44 secondsleft in the first quarter.

ALEXANDRIA— Itwasanight of old memories andnew beginnings at Camp-bellCountyHighSchool asthe Highlands Bluebirdsand Campbell CountyCamels convened in Alex-andria at the Camels’ sec-ond-year on-campus stadi-um.

Highlands debuted itsnew head coach but oldname in Brian Weinrich,the longtime defensive co-ordinator mentoring hisfirst game as head coachafter taking over for rec-ord-setter Dale Mueller.Highlands also debutednew starting quarterbackBeau Hoge, who had plen-ty of action in mopup timelast season.

Campbell, playing itssecond game of the seasonbut first at home, honoredformer PA announcerGreg Rose, who passedaway earlier this year. An-other loyal Camel booster,Brady Laber, took overRose’spositionandledpre-game and halftime cere-monieshonoring the fallenRose, who had two sonsplay football for the Cam-els.

Ultimately, itwasHigh-lands’ tradition of localdominance which won thenight, but the Camelsmade it difficult as theBluebirdsprevailed, 23-16.Highlands racked up 275yards offense in the firsthalf, most of it in the firstquarter in which it scoredall of its points to take a23-0 lead into halftime.

The Camels foughtback in the second half,with junior quarterbackCarson Plessinger leadingthe way. The Camelsscored twice in the final

quarter, but Highlands re-covered an onside kick inthe final minute and wasable to run out the clock.

Player of the Game:BeauHoge.TheHighlandssignalcaller was 15-of-25passing for 183 yards, andran for 96 yards on 12 car-ries with two touchdowns.

Play of the Game:Hoge evaded several tack-lers and used a spin moveto gain a key third-downconversion in the secondquarter during the Blue-birds’ second touchdowndrive.

View from the Side-lines: “In the first quarterwewere looking at the jer-sey and the colors and thehype,” said losing headcoach Steve Lickert. “Ouroffense gave them a shortfield in the first quarter.”

Plessinger had a stronggame, grinding out 135rushing yards on 35 car-ries with two scores.

“He played very well,”Lickert said.

Odds and ends: High-lands had 356 yards of-fense, only81in thesecondhalf. Campbell had 254yards offense. Highlandscommitted14penalties for112 yards.

A8 • CAMPBELL COMMUNITY RECORDER • SEPTEMBER 4, 2014

A year ago, the Communi-ty Recorder took a look at thestate of civic involvement inBoone, Campbell and Kentoncounties.

As our staff met with vari-ous groups last summer, weheard a common theme.

Member-ship in ser-vice clubs isdeclining.Time is anobstacle fortwo-paycheckfamilies. Andas veteranclub mem-bers retire,finding thenew genera-tion to taketheir place is

harder than hoped.At the same time, we

found that a few clubs arethriving by effective use ofsocial media, providing busi-ness networking and offeringopportunities to work onspecific community prob-lems.

So a year ago, we put outan invitation to civic clubsand offered to post a listingof their meeting times and ashort description of whattheir group is about.

We’ve run the listing fairlyoften in the Recorder news-papers, and hope to continueto do so. With the start of theschool year, I thought itwould be a good time to re-new our invitation. Send me:

» The name of your civicor community club.

» Regular meeting timeand date (for instance, thesecond Tuesday of themonth).

» Regular meeting place.Please give exact location.

» Contact name, emailand/or website.

A new season, atime to get involved

NancyDalyEDITOR’SNOTEBOOK

Aug. 28 questionHave you participated in the

ALS ice bucket challenge?Whatdo you think of the effort?

“I have not participated ... Irefuse to participate.”

James Bartley

“I was challenged, chose todonate and not dump ice wateron my head. I think it has beena great effort. The last time Ilooked, the ALS foundation hadreceived over $30 million indonations due to the ice bucketchallenge.”

Donnette Ryan Plunkett

“Cold!”Bernadette Argott Ciok

“I was challenged. Did notparticipate. Really tired ofseeing it. But, if someone start-ed one for the hungry in ourcountry or the homeless Amer-ican veterans, that would begreat.”

Sue Kennedy

“I think that, a majority ofthose participating feel theyare exempt from donating ifthey do the ALS challenge todump themselves with ice wa-ter, which originated from a FBchallenge from a couplamonths ago, calling out those todo it within 24 hrs. or donate$10 to the charity of theirchoice. So, dump all the icewater you want, but pleasemake a donation, whether toALS, or the charity of yourchoice!”

Pamela Robinson Porter

“Never been a fan of ‘lem-ming stuff,’ I call it. I’m veryhappy this has increased theirdonations, but generally justdon’t follow/play along withFacebook challenges/games.We give our time and money tolocal charities.”

John Richardson

“ I guess I should rephrasewhat I said. I chose to donate$100, and not dump ice wateron my head and donate $10.”

Donnette Ryan Plunkett

“For those who want to do-nate but may be troubled bythe ALS Association’s use ofembryonic stem cells in re-search, here’s an alternative:http://jp2mri.org/.”

Sherry Pinson

“I love to see our societyflooded with positivity for achange. Good news usuallydoesn’t sell, so we don’t seemuch if it. To see friends andfamily immersed in givingwithout receiving is awesome.”

TMC fueledby missed 2013playoff spot

The Thomas More College footballprogram knows that it cannot take anygameforgranted.TheSaintshavewon16games and lost just three conferencegames over the past two seasons, yet arein the midst of their longest playoffdrought since 2007. The program is look-ing to snap out of a period of disappoint-ing success. The Saints are consistentlyranked in the national top 25 and are rec-ognizedasaperennial playoff contender,but the past two seasons have ended infrustration.

Many thought 2012was an aberration.The Saints lost three games after losingjust one regular season game over theprior three seasons. The 2013 seasonwassupposed to be the year the program re-turned to the postseason with a ven-geance. Instead, theywent 9-1, lost a con-ference game, and were one of the lastteams on the bubble to miss the 32-teamDivision III playoffs.

When 32 teams other than the Saintsheard their names called on that Sundaylast November, the fuel for the 2014 sea-son ignited into a fire.

“It put a chip on our shoulder. Thatedge has helped us going into the offsea-son,” said head coach Jim Hilvert. “Thisismaybe the best offseasonwe’ve had inmy time at ThomasMore.”

TheSaintswill be ledbyAll-Americanrunning back Domonique Hayden, wholedthenation inrushingasa juniorbyav-eraging201.7yardspergame.Hewasthe

only Division III back to rush for morethan 2,000 yards last season and he tiedfor the national lead in scoring with 28touchdowns.

“He’s thekindofguywhokeepsthingsin stride and doesn’t listen to outsidenoise,”Hilvert said. “He’s really becomea more vocal leader for us. Guys look tohim based on the success he’s had on thefield.”

Haydenhas receivedmanypreseasonaccolades and has been visited by scoutsfromthreeNFLteamssofar. It ishishun-ger anddrive to continue to improve thatmotivates his teammates.

“My childhood dream was always tomake it to the NFL,” said Hayden, “but Ireally depend onmy teammates and I al-wayswant tokeepworkinghardandplayfor them.”

The offense is far from a one-manshow. Quarterback Jensen Gebhardt(Kings) and receivers Bobby Leonard(SimonKenton)andGooseCohorn(Dixie

Heights) give the Saints one of the na-tion’smostbalancedandpotentoffensiveattacks. Quentin Campbell returns froma knee injury that cost him nearly all ofthe 2013 season to anchor the offensiveline.

“We really came together in the off-season,” said Hayden. “Our strength hasreally improved, andwereallybondedasteammates.”

Threeveteranplayersreturningfrominjury will be a boost for the defense.Linemen Chris Bowman (Brossart) andTyler Calhoun (Bethel-Tate) and defen-sive back Jake Fishburn (Elder) all re-turn for their senior season with some-thing to prove.

“Those additions to our defense will

be a huge help,” said Hilvert.The goals and expectations for this

season are lofty. The 2014 Saints are de-termined to return to the playoffs andwant to be the first team in program his-tory to advance to the national quarterfi-nals and beyond. They learned their les-son last year that one bad game, or evenone bad quarter, can completely derail ateam from reaching its goals.

“We know that when we face adversi-ty, we have to come together and over-come it,” said Hayden. “We want to beone of the best teams to ever comethrough Division III football.”

The Saints, ranked No. 22 in theD3football.com preseason poll, open theseason at No. 5 Wesley.

With many more eyeswatching them this season, theMount St. Joseph Universityfootball program is hoping toput on a show. The Lions willspend all season celebratingtheprogram’s25thanniversaryand hope to cap it off with theirfirst trip to theplayoffs inhalfadecade.

The Lions return three firstteam all-conference players –centerBrandonKeller,widere-ceiver Leonard Riston (With-row), and kicker Shane Kelly(Turpin) – from a team that fin-ished 6-4 overall and 6-2 inHeartland Collegiate AthleticConference play in 2013. Thatwas a nice bounce back from adisappointing 2012 season inwhich the Lions finished below.500 for the first time since2001.

“We took a little step lastyear,” said Huber, who entershis 15th season as Lions headcoach.

A 34-0 loss to Rose-Hulmanultimately prevented the Lionsfrom earning a share of theHCAC title. Following the sea-son, the team covered itsweight roomwith reminders ofthe final score of that game.

“We feel like we turned theprogram around last year, butthat loss really stuck in every-body’s head,” said Keller. “Itprovided a lot ofmotivation forus this offseason.”

The Lions are motivated tocapture their first conferencetitle since 2009. That yearcapped a string of five playoffberths in six years. The pro-gram has not reached the post-

season since.Withahealthybalanceofex-

perienced veterans and talent-ed newcomers, the Lions arepoised to impress the manyalumni who will be followingthe team closely as it marks itssilver anniversary. DavidBrausch (Batavia) joins Kelleras an anchor up front. At 6’8”,John Peters complements Ris-ton and is a popular red zonetarget. The one-two punch ofDenzell Norvell and David

FulcherJr. (Mason) in theback-field will take the pressure offof the starting quarterback,whoever it turns out to be.Threeplayers, includingsopho-moreMikeWilliams (Taft), arein themix for the starting nod.

Several freshmenwill beex-pected to contribute rightaway. Tight end Taylor Lee (El-der), offensive lineman BradPopplewell (Moeller),andquar-terback Greg Simpson (Syca-more) could all play important

roles on the offense. They arepart of a class of 72, the largestincoming class of freshmen tojoin the program.

“This is one of the bestrecruiting classes we’ve had in25 years,” said Huber.

Linebackers Konnor Ble-vins (Lakota West) and BrentMcCleerey lead the defense.Safety Judge Love anchors thesecondary, while Joe Meadeand Rashee Billings will wreakhavoc on the defensive line.

Severalformerplayershavestopped by practices duringtrainingcamptoshare their ex-perienceplayingfortheMount.Many of the alums have toldtales of capping their careerswith a conference champion-ship and playoff trip. Kellerhopes that his class can recap-ture that feeling and bring an-other HCAC title to the proudprogram.

“It’s really cool to learnabout the history of the pro-gram and to see how far theprogram has come,” said Kel-ler. “Wewant to showeveryonehow good we can be and wewant to prove that on the fieldthis season.”

TheLions open the seasonat6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6, atSchueler Field against Augus-tana. Cincinnati Bengals greatand Augustana alum Ken An-dersonwill tossthecoin.Every-one involved in the 25-year his-tory of Mount St. Joseph foot-ball is invited to attend thegame and join in the pre-gamefestivities. The inaugural 1989team will be recognized on thefield.

When Huber left his job asan assistant coach at CAPE tojoin the fledgling college pro-gram 25 years ago,many of hiscolleagues doubted him. Now,he is looking forward to cele-brating thisseason, thefirstun-derthenewbannerofMountSt.Joseph University (formerlythe College of Mount St. Jo-seph).

“People told me, ‘They’llnever win. They’ll never giveyou what it takes to win,’” saidHuber. “What if I didn’t comehere? I wouldn’t be living adream.”

SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 • CCF RECORDER • B3LIFE

I had to laugh as myhusband, Frank, and Itromped over to neighborTony’s home across thefield to pick, of all things,corn.

Itmademechucklebe-cause we planted ourcorn several times and

only got aspotty har-vest. Thevoles atemost of theseed.Frankplowedboth ourfield andTony’s andhelpedplant To-

ny’s, as well. Not one volemade it across the field toTony’s. I guess they werehappily fed here at home.Wepickedawheelbarrowfull in themorning andbyafternoon, it wasshucked, blanched, re-moved from the cob andfrozen. A nice accom-plishment.

Although our corn har-vest was a disappoint-ment, our potatoes didwell.

After sampling 15-year-old Mary Caudill’spotato salad at a neigh-borhood gathering, Icouldn’t wait to dig someup and make it.

Creamypotato salad

Mary found this recipein one of her mom’s “old”cookbooks. “Old” toMaryis anything before 2000.This was in a BetterHomes & Garden cook-book from1981.Not so oldto me! Here’s my slightadaptation.

6 medium potatoes,about 2 pounds or so - Ilike red or Yukon gold

1 cup thinly sliced cel-ery

1/2 cup finelychopped onion

1/3 cup choppedsweet or dill pickle - Ilike dill

1-1/4 cups realmayon-naise

2 teaspoons sugar2 teaspoons celery

seed2 teaspoons vinegar2teaspoonsprepared

mustard1-1/2 teaspoons salt3 hard-cooked eggs,

coarsely choppedCook potatoes in boil-

ing salted water for 25minutes or until tender.Drain.When theyarecoolenough to handle, peeland cube. Add celery, on-ion and pickle Combinemayonnaise, sugar, cel-ery seed, vinegar, mus-tard and salt. Pour overpotatoes and mix well.Stir in eggs. Cover andchill thoroughly.

Health tips fromRita’s kitchen:

Potatoes contain vita-min C for your immunesystemandpotassiumforhealthy hearts and mus-cles.

Egg yolks contain vita-min D for bone health.

Easy corn souffléThis is different than

the norm, as it containscheese.

Sometimes I’ll throwin a palm-full of choppedchives, as well. I thinkyou’ll like it.

3 large eggs3 tablespoons flour1 generous table-

spoon sugarSeveral grindings of

black pepper16 oz. can creamed

style corn

2 cups fresh corn orfrozen, thawed anddrained

4 oz. shredded Mexi-can cheese blend orMonterey Jack

1/2 red bell pepper,chopped or 2 oz. jar pi-mientos, drained (op-tional)

1/3 cup milkPreheat oven to 350.

Spray an 8-inch bakingdish. Place in oven whilepreparing soufflé.

With mixer, combineeggs, flour, sugar andpepper together and then

beat on high speed untilsmooth. Stir in both kindsof corn, cheese, peppersif using and milk.

Pour into hot bakingdish and bake, uncov-ered, 55 minutes or untilset. Let stand 15 minutesbefore serving.

Did you know?Corn is not a vegeta-

ble, as most of us think,but a grain. It’s a goodsource of protein and fi-ber.

Drying herbsSome of you have

asked how to dry fresh

herbs. You can do it a cou-ple of different ways.

The old fashioned wayis to strip about an inch ortwo of leaves from thebottom of the stems, thentake several sprigs andhang them up togetherupside down (remember,nutritionstarts in therootand works its way up tostems and leaves) tiedwith string or a rubberband, to dry away frommoisture and light.

Or strip leaves fromstem, chop coarsely andplace in single layer onscreen or towel to dry.You’ll know they’re ready

when they are crisp.Store away from heat

and light.

HEBRON — The USOLounges at Cincinnati/NorthernKentuckyInter-national Airport are inneed of snacks for the sol-diers who wait for theirflights there.

About 14,800 passedthrough the CVGmilitarylounges in 2013, the firstfull year after theyopened in 2012. In Juneand July 2014 alone, thelounges have alreadywel-comed 4,000, said Jenni-fer Hicks-Strouse of Flor-ence, who’s helping getthe word out for the USO.

At CVG, the loungesprovide a place for these

men andwomen to accessthe Internet,watch televi-sion or just relax and en-joy a snack with a smilefrom one of their volun-teers, said Kathy Wil-liams, volunteer coordi-nator/center manager atthe USO lounges at CVG.

“The USO at CVG wel-comes traveling activeduty, National Guard, Re-serves, retirees,veterans,dependents and familymembers. There aremany that come throughCVG on their way to/fromtheir duty station for vari-ous reasons,” she said.

“Some are with theirfamilies when they are onleave, someare on orders,some may be changing

duty stations, some fam-ilies are traveling to theiroriginal home city.”

TheUSOLoungeshavea partnership with theParadies Shops, an indus-try leader in airport con-cessions.

“The associates asktheir patrons if theywould like to purchase anadditional item to supportourmilitary. This and oth-er donations has sus-tained us. However, withthe increasedguest count,there are times we getquite low on snacks,” Wil-liams said.

“Our guests enjoy a va-riety of items: Gum,candybars, packsofcook-ies, chips, protein bars,

breakfast bars, mac andcheese, Ramen noodles,etc. The lounges are be-hind security. Therefore,unfortunately, there is noplace at the airport to‘drop off’ items,” she said.Williams asks donors tocall her at 859-803-8871 tomakearrangements todo-nate snacks, or email [email protected].

Since 1941, the USOlifts the spirits of Ameri-ca’s troops and their fam-ilies. A nonprofit, Con-gressionally chartered,private organization, theUSO relies on the gener-osity of individuals, or-ganizations and corpora-tions to support its activ-ities.

NOTICEPlease take notice that Duke Energy Kentucky, Inc. has applied to the Kentucky Public Service Commission for approval torevise its Demand Side Management (DSM) rate for electric service and gas service for residential and commercial customersand add new products for its DSM program available to customers. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate forresidential gas customers is $0.054918 per hundred cubic feet (ccf) and for non-residential gas customers is $0.000000 perhundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers is $0.003062 perkilowatt-hour (kWh) and for non-residential customers is $0.001128 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and $0.000848per kilowatt-hour for transmission service.

Duke Energy Kentucky seeks approval to revise these rates as follows: Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate forresidential gas customers would increase to $0.055020 per hundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers wouldremain at $0.000000 per hundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential electric customerswould increase to $0.003094 per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers would increase to $0.001249 per kilowatt-hourfor distribution service and would remain at $0.000848 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 mayorder a rate to be charged that differs from this proposed rate. Such action may result in a rate for consumers other than the ratein this notice. The foregoing rates reflect a proposed increase in electric revenues of approximately $329 thousand or 0.10% overcurrent total electric revenues and an increase of $6 thousand or 0.01% over current gas revenues.

A typical residential gas customer using 70 ccf in a month will see an increase of $0.01 or 0.01%. A typical residential electriccustomer using 1000 kWh in a month will see an increase of $0.03 or 0.03%. A typical non-residential electric customer using40 kilowatts and 14,000 kWh will see an increase of $01.69 or 0.13%. Non-residential gas customers and non-residentialelectric customers served at transmission voltage will see no change in their bills from this application.

Any corporation, association, body politic or person may by motion within thirty (30) days after publication or mailing of noticeof the proposed rate changes, submit a written request to 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 of theparty.
