FORT THOMAS — A trio ofHighlands Middle School stu-dents spent part of their sum-mer as members of an interna-tional peace delegation.

The students were partici-pating in the summer peacecamp and exchange trips asmembers of the Cincinnatichapter of the CISV (Children’sInternational Summer Village)program.

Taylor Hosea, 12, spent 28days in Askoy, Norway, withchildrenfrom11othercountriesin aCISV “Village” campat a lo-cal school.

And twins Claire and JackTinkler, 13, traveled to Paris,France, for twoweeks aspart ofa CISV exchange between resi-dences program.

Isaac Bassett, 11, of FortThomas and group leader KateCalhoun of Florence will travelas part of a Cincinnati groupdelegation to meet with chil-dren from 12 other countries ina CISV Village program inLucknow, India, from Dec. 28through Jan. 22, 2015, said KayFreyberger of Fort Thomas.

Hosea enjoys makingfriends worldwide

Hosea said she now regular-ly texts and talks with friendsshe made including Nanuela ofCostaRica, Cata fromGermanyand Jenny of Norway.

“My favorite person is fromFinland,” Hosea said. “Hername is Nora.”

During the camp, childrenfrom each nation played triviagames about each country anddidculturalpresentationsabouttheir dances, foods and othercustoms, she said. One of theU.S. presentations was to play agame of baseball with childrenfrom the other 11 countries.

“It’s basically if you makefriends around the world youlearn about their cultures andway of life you can makepeace,” Hosea said.

Mostof thechildrenfromtheother countries spoke Englishfluently or very well, and thatwas surprising, she said. Thedifferences between the chil-dren were only in their culturalheritage, Hosea said.

“I thought they’re just likeus,” she said. “They do thingsjust like us. They like to betreated like us We all just don’tdo the same things.”

Christie Hosea, Taylor’smother, said she grew up trav-eling to places, including Ma-chu Picchu in Peru, with herfamily.

“Even with all my travels, Ihad never experienced whatshe has because she’s with kidsher age,” she said.

Parents and their childrenhave to apply for admission tothe CISV programs, and Tayloris hoping to be part of the Inter-change two-week exchangeprogram next year.

“She is already looking for-ward to the next summer,” saidher mother.

Christie said she followed ablog detailing the daily activ-ities of the group each day inNorway. One of the outings wasa beach tour on the North Sea.

“She was the only one out of80 kids that actually got in be-cause it was freezing,” Christiesaid of her daughter.

Tinkler twins findsmiles go long way

Jack Tinkler said he

plans to travel in a CISVprogram again if he canraiseenoughmoneyonhisown. In Paris, Tinklerlearned some things areuniversal with the chil-dren he met including en-joying music, movies andhaving fun.

Claire Tinkler said shehad never traveled out-side of theU.S. before thissummer.

good food, dancing,musicor the rush of adrenalineon a roller coaster allbring people together be-cause you don’t need tospeak to share them.”

Upon meeting Luna, agirl in the Paris home shestayed in, Claire was ner-vous about the languagebarrier they had althoughshe did speak some Eng-lish, she said. They endedupbecomingfriendsaftercommunicating mostlyusing their eyes and ges-tures in the car, she said.

“We would make eyecontact and smile,” Tin-kler said. “Itmademefeel

more hopeful about beingfriends, and it made herfeel more safe and com-fortable with being in aforeign country.”

Tinkler said she plansto stay involved withCISV events including an-nual reunion events and acookie-a-thon to raisefunds.

Attending JuniorBranch of the CincinnatiCISV monthly meetings,wheremost of the leadersof the group are age 17, isanother goal, she said.

“I alsowant to try to goto more programs nextsummer,” Tinkler said.

INDEPENDENCE—Har-ry Kukulski is the talk ofthe city’s senior center atleast twice a month.

Kukulski leads a dis-cussion group, called“Discussions with Har-ry,” at the IndependenceSenior Citizen & Commu-nity Center at 10:30 a.m.the first and third Tues-day of each month.

The discussions havebecome popular, said TimGold, director of the cen-ter. Kukulski started thegroup and initially peopleused his name when re-ferring to the group,Goldsaid. The group isn’t offi-cially namedafterKukul-ski.

“The thinking was toomany people come in anddon’t talk enough,” Goldsaid.

Kukulski, 89,moved tothe city eight years agofromPark Ridge, Illinois,to be closer to theirdaughter Elen Verville ofEdgewood. A retiredsalesman, hewas amedicin the U.S. Army AirCorps during World WarII in North Africa andEgypt.

His daughter paid hisdues and asked him tojoin the senior centerfour years ago. Kukulskisaid he grewupwith a bigfamily of 15 children inChicago, and was neveralone. Being at the seniorcenter was a good fit, hesaid.

“I try tokeep thisplacegoingwith happiness,” he

said.On the days Kukulski

isn’t leading the discus-siongroup, he’s still at thecenter playing cards orchit-chatting.

“We just sit in heretalking to each other andrazzing the hell out ofeach other,” Kukulskisaid. There is a choirgroup, chair volleyballand other activities tokeep busy with, he said.

About a dozen peopleparticipate in the groupdiscussions, Kukulskisaid. People talk abouttheir personal lives, andproblems in the world,and farming.

Some politics and reli-gion are discussed, butonly mildly, Kukulskisaid.

“Once we get into aheated discussion aboutpolitics or religion, wecut it off right away,” hesaid.

James Pitcock of Inde-pendence said he enjoysthe conversations formental stimulation. Peo-ple in the group oftenhave interests in com-mon, but they sometimeshave differences too, Pit-cock said.

Kukulski works tobring shy people into thediscussion, Pitcock said.

“We try to encourageparticipation,” he said.

There is one big rule,Pitcock said.

“The main one wasyou’re not allowed to getmad, you don’t takethings personally,” hesaid. “It’s a civilized dis-cussion group.”

ALEXANDRIA — If you can’tbeat ’em, join ’em. When RobynCurry needed a change of pace,she saw an opening pop up andshemovednorth to takeover theCampbell County High Schoolvolleyball program.

Curry takes over the Camelsafter five years at George Rog-ers Clark High School. She won405 matches in 25 years andmoved on from Clark, who is inthe 10th Region with CampbellCounty. She was 93-70 with theCardinals, winning four straightdistrict titles, a first for thatpro-gram. Now, she takes over aCamelprogramthathaswon theregional championship the pasttwo years.

Havingstandouts likeCarsonGray and Kirby Seiter on theroster to go with a few other ex-perienced seniors inHaley Cun-diff, Emily Rich and KourtnieRuber should make the transi-tion as easy as possible. Seiter isthe top returning threat on of-fense. Gray is a veteran setterwho directed the offense lastseason. Cundiff is a veteran lib-ero.

The Camels have seven sen-iors overall and the new coachsaid staying injury-free will behelpful.

“We need to work harder ondefense and take advantage ofour height and our blockinggame,” she said.

Campbell County was 22-15last year but 13-1 in 10th Regionplay.TheCamelsfell toScott inagrueling five-set match in theregular season then reboundedfrom a 2-0 deficit to beat the Ea-gles in five in the regional tour-ney.

In the state tourney, theCam-elswere pairedwith conferencerival Notre Dame in the firstround and fell in three sets.

Campbell plays at SimonKenton Sept. 4. The Camels are2-4 heading into play this week.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 • ALEXANDRIA RECORDER • A7SPORTS & RECREATION

ALEXANDRIA—Itwasanight of oldmemoriesandnew beginnings at Camp-bell County High Schoolas the Highlands Blue-birds andCampbell Coun-tyCamels convened inAl-exandria at the Camels’second-year on-campusstadium.

Highlands debuted itsnew head coach but oldname in Brian Weinrich,the longtime defensivecoordinator mentoringhis first game as headcoach after taking overfor record-setter DaleMueller. Highlands alsodebuted new startingquarterback Beau Hoge,who had plenty of actionin mopup time last sea-son.

Campbell, playing itssecond game of the sea-son but first at home, hon-ored former PA announc-erGregRose, who passedaway earlier this year.Another loyal Camelbooster, Brady Laber,took over Rose’s positionand ledpregameandhalf-time ceremonies honor-ing the fallen Rose, whohad two sons play footballfor the Camels.

Ultimately, it wasHighlands’ tradition of lo-cal dominancewhichwonthe night, but the Camelsmade it difficult as theBluebirds prevailed, 23-16. Highlands racked up275 yards offense in thefirst half, most of it in thefirst quarter in which itscored all of its points totake a 23-0 lead into half-time.

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

quarter, but Highlandsrecovered an onside kickin the final minute andwas able to run out theclock.

Player of the Game:Beau Hoge. The High-lands signalcaller was 15-of-25 passing for 183yards, and ran for 96yards on 12 carries withtwo touchdowns.

Play of the Game:Hoge evaded severaltacklers and used a spinmove to gain a key third-down conversion in thesecondquarterduringtheBluebirds’ second touch-down drive.

View from the Side-lines: “In the first quarterwe were looking at thejersey and the colors andthe hype,” said losinghead coach Steve Lickert.

“Our offense gave them ashort field in the firstquarter.”

Plessinger had astronggame,grindingout135 rushing yards on 35carries with two scores.

“He played very well,”Lickert said.

Odds and ends: High-lands had 356 yards of-fense, only 81 in the sec-ond half. Campbell had254 yards offense. High-landscommitted14penal-ties for 112 yards.

A publication of

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:

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

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.”

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

It made me chucklebecause we planted ourcorn several times andonly got a spotty harvest.The voles ate most of theseed. Frank plowed bothour field and Tony’s andhelped plant Tony’s, aswell. Not one vole madeit across the field to To-ny’s. I guess they werehappily fed here at home.We picked a wheelbar-row full in the morningand by afternoon, it wasshucked, blanched, re-moved from the cob andfrozen. A nice accom-plishment.

Although our cornharvest was a disappoint-ment, our potatoes didwell. After sampling15-year-old Mary Cau-dill’s potato salad at aneighborhood gathering,I couldn’t wait to digsome up and make it.

Creamypotato salad

Mary found this reci-pe in one of her mom’s“old” cookbooks. “Old” toMary is anything before2000. This was in a BetterHomes & Garden cook-book from1981. Not soold to me! Here’s myslight adaptation.

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

1 cup thinly slicedcelery

1/2 cup finely choppedonion

1/3 cup chopped sweetor dill pickle - I like dill

1-1/4 cups real mayon-naise

2 teaspoons sugar2 teaspoons celery

seed2 teaspoons vinegar2 teaspoons prepared

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

coarsely choppedCook potatoes in boil-

ing salted water for 25minutes or until tender.Drain. When they arecool enough to handle,peel and cube. Add cel-ery, onion and pickleCombine mayonnaise,sugar, celery seed, vine-gar, mustard and salt.Pour over potatoes andmix well. Stir in eggs.Cover and chill thorough-ly.

Health tips fromRita’s kitchen:

Potatoes contain vita-min C for your immune

system andpotassiumfor healthyhearts andmuscles.

Eggyolks con-tain vita-min D forbonehealth.

Easycorn soufflé

This is different thanthe norm, as it containscheese. Sometimes I’llthrow in a

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

3 large eggs3 tablespoons flour1 generous tablespoon

sugarSeveral grindings of

black pepper16 oz. can creamed

style corn2 cups fresh corn or

frozen, thawed anddrained

4 oz. shreddedMex-ican cheese blend orMonterrey Jack

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

1/3 cup milkPreheat oven to 350.

Spray an 8-inch bakingdish. Place in oven whilepreparing soufflé. Withmixer, combine eggs,flour, sugar and peppertogether and then beat onhigh speed until smooth.Stir in both kinds of corn,cheese, peppers if usingand milk. Pour into hotbaking dish and bake,uncovered, 55 minutes oruntil set. Let stand 15minutes before serving.

Did you know?Corn is not a vegeta-

ble, as most of us think,but a grain. It’s a goodsource of protein andfiber.

Drying herbsSome of you have

asked how to dry freshherbs. You can do it acouple of different ways.The old fashioned way isto strip about an inch ortwo of leaves from thebottom of the stems, thentake several sprigs andhang them up togetherupside down (remember,nutrition starts in theroot and works its way upto stems 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’reready when they arecrisp. Store away fromheat and light.

Rising utility rates areprompting many Ohioansto consider switching toalternative energy pro-viders. Many are findingthe low rates for whichthey initially signed updidn’t remain that way.

Larry Dowler of Liber-ty Township says therates charged by hisalternative energy sup-plier, Cincinnati BellEnergy, varied very littlefor about two years.

“It was around 6 centsper kilowatt hour,” Dow-ler said.

The rate Dowler paidwas in line with thatcharged by Duke EnergyOhio – until late last year.

He says, “I didn’t real-ly realize it but it went to8.99 cents per kilowatthour and then did thesame thing for the Janu-ary billing.”

That higher electriccharge meant Dowler’sutility bills started tosoar for his all-electrichome.

“It went to $600 forthe February bill. I said,‘Wait a minute.’ I startedresearching it and foundit went from 6.15 centsper kilowatt hour to 8.99cents then to 9.99 centsfor two months,” Dowlersays.

Dowler called Cincin-nati Bell Energy to com-plain and learned he hadbeen switched to a vari-able rate when the fixedrate, for which he had

signed up,ended.

Dowlerisn’t alone.Many peo-ple withvariableenergyrates alsosaw theirbills jump.He says

Cincinnati Bell Energytold him it raised ratesjust as other companieshad done.

The Duke Energy billhas an area called “Priceto Compare” which tellsyou howmuch Duke ischarging for electricitythat month. Dowler saysafter checking that ratehe realized he’d beencharged a total of $600more than if he hadstayed with Duke Energy.

I saw this firsthandafter I signed up with analternative natural gassupplier. The advertisedrate was very low but itonly lasted a fewmonths.Sure enough, right afterthat guaranteed low rateperiod ended I wascharged more thanDuke’s price because Inow had a variable rate.

There are 47 differentenergy suppliers certi-fied to serve Duke Ener-gy Ohio customers. Manyof those companies offervariable rates, so Dowlersays he’s learned it’s agood idea to carefullycheck your bill every

month to see exactlywhat rate you’re beingcharged.

Dowler says, “I talkedto a friend at church andsaid, ‘Do you realize this?Did you check your bill?’He got his next bill andhis was 8.99 cents perkilowatt hour. Previouslyit was 5.8 cents per kilo-watt hour.”

A Cincinnati Bell En-ergy spokeswoman saidthe high winter rateswere driven by an unusu-al spike in demand due tothe extremely coldweather in much of thenation. Rates were simi-lar to that charged byother energy providerswith variable rate plans.

Since then the rateshave come back down.

Bottom line, when yousign up for a low, fixed,starter rate be aware thatwill likely increase whenthe deal ends. Variablerates can jump drastical-ly frommonth to monthso you need to carefullyreview your utility billevery month. Check the“Price to Compare” rateso you can make sureyou’re not paying morethan that charged byDuke.

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.
