The applications are searchable by name, unit and county, and provide information to genealo- gists, local historians, and anyone interested in Civil War history. In the Buffalo Trace re- gion hundreds of pension- ers are listed. Included are Masons and Halls in Mason County, Lewis’ and Bivens in Lewis County, and Fos- ter, Taylor and Dillow sur- names in Fleming County. In Bracken County, which is also looking at a commemoration for the Battle of Augusta, in September, pensioners with the surname Breeze, Colvin, Allender, Lennox, Howard and Owens are just a few listed. In Robertson County, in addition to the Robertson family name, the surname of widows like Mary Brumagen are included in the list. The applications and other supporting docu- ments can be seen on the website. Views can get a bigger picture of the aftermath of the war, by reading what applicants wrote of their life after the war. For example, in the 13 pages of documents avail- able for Bruamgen, who was married in Bracken County, but lived in Piqua more than 50 years, she was a widow by 1912 and reliant on her married daughter for a place to live. Intimate details of the loss of her husband are in the documentation, along with images of the documents and witness statements. “As we commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the Confed- erate pension applications document once again the important role played by Kentucky in that conflict. The Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives houses these and many ad- ditional rich resources for Kentuckians and research- ers detailing every era of Kentucky history,” said Wayne Onkst, state librar- ian and commissioner of KDLA. Documentation from the period is often hard to find and the pension roles may be the only record of ser- vice, officials said. These records were digitized with funding pro- vided by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services’ Library Services and Technology Act, officials said. FILING FROM A1 If the realignment of districts had withstood the court challenge, District 13 would have been com- prised of Fleming, Mason, Harrison, Lewis, Mont- gomery, Robertson, Nich- olas and Bath counties. The justices ruling also impacts voters in Lewis County, who would have seen their county split between three districts, all held by Democrats, had the House approved redis- tricting map been upheld. Now, York will have the chance to run for re-elec- tion in the 96th District House seat comprised of Lewis and Carter coun- ties, instead of squaring off against House Leader Rocky Adkins (D) in the 2012 election. APP FROM A1 social and cultural events taking place around the city. She said when the tourism office printed the bi-annual Calendar of Events brochure, some- times the listing of dates, times or locations had changed and there was no way to correct the bro- chure. With the Maysville App, which is available only for Apple products, her office has the ability to update the listing 24 hours a day/seven days a week. Keeping with a basic number of categories from city government to restau- rants, the Maysville, Ken- tucky App also connects visitors to GPS directions via the business address; the business website and phone number can also be instantly connected. Pratt said the intent was to “make it as user friendly for everybody as possible.” The App was launched Feb. 1 and Pratt said her of- fice can track how people are using the application and where they are located. To date, the app has been downloaded in China, Spain, Norway, Italy, and France, in addition to the United States. The goal is to tie the app to the city’s website, which is undergoing a facelift to provide visitors to the site with a virtual tour of the city, an enhancement to tourism marketing.

SHOOTING FROM A1 One teacher was said to have dragged a wounded student into his classroom for protection. And dis- tressed parents thronged the streets around the school as they heard from students via text message and cellphone long before official word came of the attack. Two of the wounded were listed in critical con- dition, and another was in serious condition. The suspect, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, was arrested near his car a half-mile away, the FBI said. He was not immediately charged. FBI officials would not comment on a motive. And Police Chief Tim McKenna said authorities “have a lot of homework to do yet” in their investigation. But 15-year-old Danny Komertz, who witnessed the shooting, said the gunman was known as an outcast who had apparently been bullied. “I looked up and this kid was pointing a gun about 10 feet away from me to a group of four kids sitting at a table,” Komertz said. He said the gunman fired two shots quickly, and students scrambled for safety. One of them was “trying to get un- derneath the table, trying to hide, protecting his face.” The slain student, Daniel Parmertor, was an aspir- ing computer repairman who was shot while wait- ing for the bus for his daily 15-minute ride to a voca- tional center. His teacher at the Auburn Career School had no idea why Parmertor, “a very good young man, very quiet,” had been tar- geted, said Auburn super- intendent Maggie Lynch. “We are shocked by this senseless tragedy,” his family said in a statement. “Danny was a bright young boy who had a bright future ahead of him.” Officers investigating the shooting blocked off a road in a heavily wooded area several miles from the school. Federal agents patrolled the muddy driveway lead- ing to several spacious homes and ponds, while other officers walked a snowy hillside. A police dog was brought in. It wasn’t clear what they were look- ing for. Teacher Joe Ricci had just begun class when he heard shots and slammed the door to his classroom, yelling, “Lock down!” to students, according to Karli Sensibello, a student whose sister was in Ricci’s class- room. A few minutes later, Ricci heard a student moaning outside, opened the door and pulled in student Nick Walczak who had been shot several times, Sensibello said in an email. Ricci com- forted Walczak and let him use his cellphone to call his girlfriend and parents, Sensibello said. She said her sister was too upset to talk. Heather Ziska, 17, said she was in the cafeteria when she saw a boy she recognized as a fellow stu- dent come into the cafeteria and start shooting. She said she and several others immediately ran outside, while other friends ran into a middle school and oth- ers locked themselves in a teachers’ lounge. “Everybody just started running,” said 17-year-old Megan Hennessy, who was in class when she heard loud noises. “Everyone was running and screaming down the hallway.” Rebecca Moser, 17, had just settled into her chemistry class when the school went into lockdown. The class of about 25 stu- dents ducked behind the lab tables at the back of the classroom, uncertain whether it was a drill. York released the fol- lowing statement Mon- day regarding HB 460. “This year’s redis- tricting fiasco, which has dominated much of our session and wasted thousands of dollars in taxpayer money, is proof positive that we need real change in how we handle drawing new boundar- ies,” said Rep. York. “It is time that we shine the light on this issue and make sure all Kentuck- ians have plenty of time to review any future redistricting proposals before we as a legislative body cast our ballots.” The Associated Press contributed to this story. As we commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the Confederate pension applications document once again the important role played by Kentucky in that conflict.” WAYNE ONKST, STATE LIBRARIAN AND COM- MISSIONER OF KDLA.
