Body cameras offer onemore angle of view for juriesand sometimes the public tosee. In one of the most recentNorthern Kentucky contro-versial police cases, 19-year-old Samantha Ramsey wasshot and killed by Boone Coun-

These days, calls for lawenforcement to invest in bodycameras are on the rise ascameras – both in the hands ofcitizens and worn by police –have captured police shoot-ings and questionable behav-ior, including the tragic shoot-ing of an unarmed man in Cin-cinnati.

However, in Northern Ken-tucky, police agencies havebeen pioneers of sorts in theuse of officer-worn cameras,some since 2009. By and large,law enforcement leadershipview body cameras as both asafeguard and a way to holdofficers in the field account-able.

“What it does with my guysis it keeps them professional,”said Bellevue Chief WayneTurner. “It’s the supervisorover their shoulder.”

Police officers in at leastnine Northern Kentuckyagencies wear body cameras,and seven more agencies are

FORT MITCHELL — BiggbyCoffee in Fort Mitchell is notonly the first and only locationin Kentucky, it’s also the No. 1Biggby Coffee shop in the U.S.

“We are very honored,” fran-chise owner Shanna Novoselsaid.

The shop recently receivedthe Biggby Coffee Store of theYear Award, an annual competi-tion among Biggby franchisesall over the country – a total of195 – in which customers votefor their favorite location. Thebest part of the contest, Novoselsaid, is it doesn’t matter howmany votes you get, but ratherthe comments on your locationthat is judged.

“Our customers are amaz-ing,” she said. “The entire com-munity has been so supportiveof us.”

Novosel, 36, opened the shopin May 2013. She had been work-ing in corporate America andfound herself burned out.

“I went back to a question Iwas asked in the fifth grade: Ifthere was anything you coulddo, and money didn’t matter,what would you do? I’d open acoffee shop,” she said.

Through her work she fre-quently traveled often meetingclients in local coffee shops. ABiggby Coffee shop in Michiganhappened to be her favorite. So,she left her job and venturedinto the world of coffee.

“I love it,” she said. “Coffeeshops are wonderful places forthe community. They are aplace where people gather,study or share ideas. To be suc-cessful, you have to be in-grained in the community. Thebest recipe is to be a communi-ty-driven shop and we are.”

If there’s a community eventand coffee is needed, Novoselsaid that Biggby is there wheth-er it’s for a fundraising event, a5K, or a teacher appreciationday at Blessed Sacrament.

“We are here for our commu-nity,” she said. “Our atmos-phere is warm and inviting,friendly. People can come in andsit for hours or get a cup of Joeand go about their business,whatever they need.”

Last year, Novosel and herBiggby Coffee found them-selves on the receiving end. Shehad spent 98 days in the hospitalwith a high-risk pregnancy.When her daughter was bornshe was in the NICU for 44 days.

“I was away from the shop

for a long time,” she said. “Butmy staff did an amazing job andour customers kept us going.They would even do favors forus, like if we ran out of bananas,they’d go out and get us somemore. They even delivered cof-fee to a 5K we had committed to.They came to visit me and sentme flowers, too. They werethere for me and I hope to al-ways be there for them.”

Dan Cress, of Fort Mitchell,said he hopes Biggby Coffee isaround for a long time. He’s notsure he could live without it. Af-ter all, he visits on average oncea day.

“I like that I come in here andI know everyone,” he said. “Thestaff and Shanna are also verykind. It’s nice to have a placelike this.”

Customer Sara Jackson, ofIndependence, visits Biggby ona frequent basis, too.

“I come here because the cul-ture represents a hometownfeel,” she said. “The staff andShanna really care about thecustomers and they know us.And because they give so muchback to the community, thatmakes me want to be here.”

ty Sheriff’s Deputy TylerBrockman in April 2014. Acruiser camera video wasmade public, but offeredonly a limited view ofwhat happened. WhileBoone County spokesmanTom Scheben said a bodycamera could have of-fered a different angle ofthe shooting, it is unclearwhether a body camerawould have offered moreinsight into the shooting.

Meanwhile, BooneCounty Sheriff’s Officeand police in Independ-ence and Newport, threeof Northern Kentucky’slargest departments, arecontinuing to study bodycameras before making apurchase.

Most videos can backup officer’s testimony incourt instead of relyingonly on testimony fromofficers, witnesses and aperson charged with acrime, said AlexandriaPolice Department ChiefMike Ward. Alexandriaspent $9,500 for 16 cam-eras this year includingongoing maintenance andupgrades, he said.

There have been in-stances where video doesnot back up the officer’stestimony, he said.

Cincinnati and the na-tion bore witness July 29to body camera video ofSamuel DuBose beingshot and killed by Univer-sity of Cincinnati officerRay Tensing. Tensing wasthe first officer in Cincin-nati charged with killingsomeone in the line of du-ty. DuBose, a black manstopped by Tensing fornot having a front licenseplate, was unarmed. Tens-ing told investigators hefeared for his safety be-cause DuBose’s car wasdragging him. The videodid not show Tensing be-ing dragged.

Turner, Bellevue’schief, said he’s a bodycamera proponent.

“I honestly feel it takesa juror to that scene as itphysically occurred,”Turner said.

Technology bettertoday

Alexandria has used afew body cameras since2010, but technology has“leap-frogged,” sincethen, Ward said.

“The cameras at thetime, they were not thecameras that we have to-day,” he said.

All 17 patrol officers inAlexandria have wornbody cameras since June.

Body cameras can of-fer a clearer verbal rec-ord of an officer’s interac-tion than cruiser cameras,Ward said.

“To me, the audio is al-most more important thanthe video,” he said.“You’ve got to hear thecommands the officer isgiving.”

Fort Thomas PoliceDepartment Chief Mike

Daly said his departmentcontinues to study threedifferent types of sys-tems because they wantthe first camera purchaseto be the right purchase.

“It’s one of the biggesttopics in law enforce-ment,” Daly said.

Storing videos, writingpolicy concerning priva-cy and records retentionand cost are all thingsFort Thomas is evaluatingby talking with other de-partments that alreadyhave body cameras, hesaid.

“You see in a lot of de-partments a move awayfrom buying more in-carcameras,” Daly said.

Costs for car camerascan cost three times asmuch as some body cam-eras, and courts are be-ginning to seek body-cam-era images because oftheir clarity and mobility.

Having ‘visualevidence’

Without audio frombody cameras or else-where, understanding thesetting of a video can bedifficult, said CampbellCounty Attorney SteveFranzen.

“I’m a proponent of it,”Franzen said. “I think thepolice will benefit tre-mendously from it. I thinkit will help our prosecu-tion. “If all our policeagencies had body cam-eras all the time I thinkthe public would be aston-ished at what they have toput up with day in and dayout.”

In Florence, city policehave used body camerassince 2009, Capt. TomGrau said.

“The greatest value ishaving visual evidencefor a judge or jury to see,”he said.

Grau explained thereare two reasons theystarted using the bodycameras: to help officersbuild a stronger courtcase and to protect offi-cers from unfoundedcomplaints.

Boone County Sheriffspokesman Scheben saidthe agency is looking athow other departmentsimplement the use of cam-eras before it makes a de-cision to purchase them.

How body camerasmight impact policing inBoone County calls for“some serious specula-tion,” Scheben said.

In Alexandria, the useof police body cameraspaid dividends shortly af-ter they were deployed. InJuly, cameras recorded aman firing shots at offi-cers who were respon-ding to a domestic dis-turbance.

“We deployed thesecameras and within thefirst four weeks (of hav-ing them) we recorded theguy who shot at the offi-cers,” Ward said. “Wewere able to capture it onvideo. Unfortunately, theman took his own life.

Policy issuesWard said writing poli-

cy about when to take

video and when it will bereleased poses challengesto the use of body cam-eras. For example, Wardis skittish when it comesto public access to videorecorded inside a person’shome. He said he wouldpush back on requests forvideo taken inside thehome of a private citizen.

“Citizens have an ex-pectation of privacy with-in their own home,” Wardsaid.

Alexandria officershave to turn on their cam-eras whenever they areinteracting with a personin the line of duty, Wardsaid.

Holdinggovernmentaccountable

The act of filmingmore police-citizen inter-action has prompted ac-tion from the AmericanCivil Liberties Union ofKentucky.

Government video sur-veillance is something theACLU is usually against,but not in the case of bodycameras, said ACLUspokesperson Kate Mil-ler.

“It’s a real opportunityto see who is using thistechnology and to holdgovernment account-able,” Miller said.

How long and whattypes of videos are beingstored by police is still aconcern, she said.

“We want to make surethere is not volumes andvolumes of Americans go-ing about their day-to-daylives being kept forever,”Miller said.

While concerns exist,cities that have long usedbody cameras are lookingto expand and improvetheir inventory.

Take Taylor Mill,whose City Council ap-proved the purchase ofbody cameras this yearfor its 18 officers afterspending a year to evalu-ate the purchase.

“A camera is the mostreliable account of an in-cident or interaction andlets the public know anagency is transparent,Taylor Mill Police Depart-ment spokeswoman Sgt.Karen Spanyer said. Tay-lor Mill already has hadin-car cameras for 10years and is looking to buycameras as soon as possi-ble this year.

“The vast majority ofcomplaints, the officersare exonerated whentheir in-car cameras areviewed. It’s the truth. Imean what you see is whathappened,” she said.

Covington Police De-partment Lt. Col. BrianSteffen, whose agencyhas used body camerasfor several years, echoesthe sentiments of hispeers regarding the posi-tive benefits of cameras.

“We have found thatthe benefits of using thebody-worn cameras faroutweigh anything thatcould be perceived as neg-ative,” Steffen said.

Thehand-dipped flavorssuch as Green Apple Car-mel Twist and OverloadOreo come from Choco-late Shoppe Ice CreamCo. based in Wisconsin.Leo Menning said hehopes to one day intro-duce his own homemadeice cream to the shop.

Jean Menning’s favor-ite flavor is Zanzibar,

made from three kinds ofcocoa. It has a rich fund-brownie taste, she said.Zanzibar is also their No.1 seller.

Leo Menning said heenjoys all the flavors, ashe pats his stomach. “Allyou need is love and may-be a little ice cream,” hesaid. “It’s a comfort foodreally, I believe. Whenyou’re too stressed out oryou just want to have agood time, you eat icecream.”

Seventy-year-old LeoMenning cares for hiswife, who has multiplesclerosis and arthritis,besides driving a bus forBoone County Schools.He likes it because “itkeeps me busy.” He pre-viously operated severalbusinesses, a dump truckbusiness in South Dakotaand a pizza place in Iowa.

PUZZLE ANSWERS

AUGUST 27, 2015 • COMMUNITY RECORDER • 5ANEWS

This spring, grandson Jackbrought home a tiny cabbageplant from Bonnie Plants.

Each year Bonnie Plantsgives third-graders a cab-

bage to plant. There’s a bonus. Alongwith learning how to grow produce,Bonnie Plants sweetens the pot by of-fering $1,000 scholarship to some fortu-

nate child in eachstate.

Jack planted his inour vegetable gardenand tended it wellwhen he came over. Itgrew to seven pounds,trimmed. I’m going tomake one of our fa-vorite slaws with partof his cabbage. I callit carnival slaw be-cause the colors are

as vibrant as the colorful rides at sum-mer carnivals. This would make a niceside dish to that Labor Day picnic, aswell.

Carnival slawIf you don’t have fresh oranges,

canned, drained Mandarin orangeswork well as a substitute. I would use 2small or one large can. If you havesome fresh parsley, chop up a bit andtoss that in.

Salad1 pound cabbage, sliced thin like cole

slaw or 1 pound slaw mix8 oz. extra red cabbage, cut up like slaw

mix - may not need all1 teaspoon ea: salt and pepper1 small red or sweet onion, chopped1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper,

chopped2 carrots grated (can use bagged already

grated, may not need all)2 nice sized oranges, peeled and cut upDressingMix together until sugar dissolves:1/2 cup clear vinegar1/3 cup sugar - may need a bit more to

taste1/4 cup vegetable oil1/4 cup orange juicePour over salad and toss gently. Cover

and refrigerate 1 hour. Stir before eating.

Rita’s clone of Solo almond fillingRemember that almond pound cake I

shared a couple months ago? It calledfor Solo almond filling (not almondpaste) and I got deluged with inquiriesas to where to find it. Some local gro-ceries didn’t carry it, though they usedto. Jungle Jims did carry it but I un-derstand they ran out after I publishedthe recipe and ordered more. Anyway,for those of you who can’t find the fill-ing, I’ve made a homemade version ofit. I tested this in that same pound cakeand no one could tell the difference. Iwas so excited that I couldn’t wait toshare it with you. It’s so easy and akeeper!

1 generous cup blanched slivered al-monds (that means the almonds came overthe top of the cup a bit)

1/2 cup powdered sugar2 tablespoons butter, softened, salted or

unsalted1-3/4 teaspoons real almond extract1 large egg whitePut almonds, sugar and butter in food

processor and process until very finelyground. Then add extract and egg whiteand process until smooth. Well, it won't beperfectly smooth because of the nuts, but itwill be the consistency of the canned al-mond filling. This makes a cup, which isenough for the recipe published previouslyusing the can of almond filling.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen: This freezes well.

Whoops! Citrus cake baking time.I omitted the time in the published

recipe - sorry about that. Bake 30-35minutes or until toothpick inserted incenter comes out clean.

Readers want to knowWhat is Sucanat sugar and how is

cane sugar different from sugar beet

sugar?Sucanat is a brand name for a varie-

ty of whole cane sugar. Unlike refinedand processed white cane sugar andbrown cane sugar, Sucanat retains itsmolasses content.

Cane vs. beet sugar.Refined sugar, whether made from

sugar cane or beets, is nutritionally thesame. It’s the refining process that’sdifferent. That said, I prefer cane sugarsince beet sugar goes through a morecomplicated refining process. Simple isbetter in my world.

A publication of

One of the key rolesof the office of theKentucky Treasurer’sOffice is to manage theunclaimed propertyprogram. Unclaimedproperty laws havebeen around for dec-ades in Kentucky andin the United States.

Hundreds of un-claimed bank accounts,insurance benefits,

dividends, stocks, bonds and other

property funds go unclaimed by citi-zens and their family members eachyear in the commonwealth. This is usu-ally due to a change in address, a deathor change in name. It is up to the statetreasurer to manage the process ofrecovering funds for the rightful own-ers.

Kentucky has even now joined thenational Missing Money registry toassist those across the globe who mighthave unclaimed funds held by the Ken-tucky treasury. Anyone can search on aparticular name and the treasurer’s

office has safeguards in place to insurethe funds and property are returned totheir rightful owner or heirs.

Elderly citizens are often contactedby outside firms offering to securetheir unclaimed funds for a fee. Whilelegal, these solicitations can cause con-cern and confusion and often leads tofunds going unclaimed for decades.With Kentucky’s easy online search andsecure request form process, Kentuck-ians can feel confident in the process ofrecovering property and funds thatrightfully belong to them or their fam-

ily member. I urge all Kentuckians to visit the

website of the Kentucky State Treasur-er to search for money and propertythat could be claimed. Visit the Ken-tucky Treasurer’s website for informa-tion and to start a search.

Rick Nelson is a candidate for Kentucky trea-surer and has served in the General Assemblyfor 16 years. A Democrat from Middlesboro,Nelson is opposed by Republican Allison Ballof Prestonsburg. The current treasurer is ToddHollenbach who is term limited.

Last week’s questionA bill has been proposed to

prevent the start of Kentuckyschools until the first Mondayclosest to Aug. 26? Do you likeor dislike this idea? Why?

“Agree.”Carl Wilhelmy

“I like the idea, but ifyou’re going to wait till theend if the month why notmake it the first of Septem-ber?”

Lauren Dunn

“I agree with the end ofAugust or Sept. 1.”

Karen Berhiet

“After Labor Day.”Heather Niehaus

“The reason why is thatAugust is normally very hotand not all schools in the stateare air-conditioned. I remem-ber when Boone CountySchools were canceled if thetemp was predicted to be toohigh.”

Karen Berhiet

“I don’t think any laterthan 9-1 because you have toput snow into the equation.The later they go the laterthey get out. Add snow daymakeups and it’s longer.”

Lauren Dunn

“I don’t have a preferenceas to when during the month.However, I think starting ona Monday rather than mid-week would be better. Whatis the point of two days then aweekend? Monday justmakes sense, no matterwhere it is in the month.”

Heather Franzen

“In high school it makes abig difference. It gave ustime to get them preparedsince we don’t get a list fromstore. We get syllabus fromeach teacher for every class-room for materials needed.Wish I could still just buy thepre-made, ready-to-go schoolsupply bag, LOL.”

Tiffany Winebrenner

“Dislike. By the first ofAugust, we have already hadour vacation and my kids aresitting around waiting forschool to start. I can’t imag-ine waiting until the end ofAugust or after Labor Day.

I’d rather see the extra timeoff in the fall and spring.”

Sandra Painter Chilton

“School buses aren’t airconditioned either. I’m forTuesday after Labor Day.”

Debbi Danner-Rios

“Agree!”Kristen Elizabeth Ascoli

“I agree with the peoplesaying that it should be afterLabor Day. I would ratherhave them out later, likeJune. It gives them moresummer time.”

Jennifer Vogel

“After Labor Day!”Erica Schneider

“I think extending sum-mer break is hard on thoseparents that cannot workwhile their kids are out ofschool. A lot of parents can’tafford the vacations, camps,or day care costs and strug-gle financially with having tobe off work all summer whiletheir kids are out of school.Not to mention it’s proven thekids forget a lot over thesummer. I’m an advocate fora year-round school year.”

Ashleigh Wilson

“After Labor Day and fin-ished by the end of May ...less scheduled days off dur-ing the year would off setthis, like fall break.”

Jennie Halcomb Schanding

“After Labor Day. Kidsneed to be kids. I don’t agreewith summer assignmentseither. They need a breakfrom school, go outside andplay.”

Stephanie Denham-Hall

“Agree!”Sarah Ross

“In after Labor Day, outbefore Memorial Day.”

Could men from Boone Coun-ty be the perpetrators of thefirst peace-time train robberyin U.S. history?

To this day,historians dis-agree. On May5, 1865, asmany as 20men crossed infour skiffsfrom BooneCounty to aspot nearNorth Bend,Ohio. They suc-cessfullymoved one of

the train rails, causing the de-railment of a St. Louis-boundOhio and Mississippi expresstrain that had just left Cincin-nati.

According to “Murder andMayhem on Ohio’s Rails,” byJane Ann Truzillo, the steam en-gine, Adams Express Company

car and baggage car were alloverturned in the derailment.The train had four passengercars following which were fullto capacity, but they remainedin an upright position.

The thieves worked theirway through these rear carsfirst, stealing cash and valu-ables. People in the final car hadenough lead time on theirwould-be robbers, however, tocleverly hide both money andjewels. Reportedly the ladieswere particularly creative, hid-ing jewelry and cash in the curlsof their hair and folds of theirundergarments.

After passengers and traincrew members were robbed,the thieves began the work ofbreaking into the three safescontained on the Adams Ex-press car. The keys held by trainemployees would only open the“local” safe, not the other two,which contained U.S. Treasury

Bonds. After trying unsuccess-fully to break into these safeswith an ax, the well-equippedthieves turned to gunpowder,which did the trick.

Some historians speculatethat this was an attempt by re-bel guerillas to fund the recent-ly defeated Confederacy in a re-newed rebellion. Others debunkthis theory, pointing to the factthat the train would surely havebeen completely destroyed, notjust disabled, if this were an actof war. This is a question for theages.

Whatever the motivation ofthe band of outlaws, it was a suc-cess. The robbery took onlyabout an hour to complete. Thethieves fled with thousands ofdollars in U.S. bonds, cash andvaluables, and were tracked toVerona. According to both an ar-ticle and letter published in thepages of the Cincinnati DailyEnquirer during the week fol-

lowing the robbery, severalBoone County residents weresuspect. The accused wereknown to have fought for theConfederacy, several under thecommand of General John HuntMorgan. Only one man, by thename of Weden Sleet, was ar-rested. He was soon releasedfor lack of evidence, despite the“trail of stolen mail” from thetrain which had been strewnabout the streets of Verona, andreportedly led right to his door.

Some reports tell of stolenbonds being found in the streetsof town after a night of revelryby the perpetrators, but the au-thorities never got their men.There were rewards offered forinformation of those involvedfor up to $500 per person cap-tured, but to no avail. To thisday, this tale of train robbery re-mains a Boone County mystery.

KENTON COUNTY — The an-ticipated ground and poundSkyline Chili Crosstown Show-down football season openerbetween host Scott and New-port Central Catholic Aug. 21fizzled into a defensive strug-gle that had both teams desper-ately seeking scores.

The play of the game wasturned in by 310-pound Scottdefensive lineman Gage Tuck-er, who ripped the ball out of thehands of NewCath runningback Job Freppon and huffedand puffed his way to a 41-yardtouchdown run with 6:36 toplay. Scott quarterback DannyFitzgerald ran in the go-aheadtwo-point conversion, and theEagles held on for a 8-7 win inTaylor Mill.

“Our motto is, keep hammer-ing, and we did that,” Scottcoach Dan Woolley said. “Wedid what we had to do to win.”

Tucker, a junior two-waytackle, was the unlikely herowith his first touchdown sincehe was a 10-year-old Peeweefootball player “I thought theplay was dead on the strip,”Tucker said. “But I didn’t hear awhistle, and I just kept run-ning.”

Scott was limited to 199 totalyards, led by a 10-of-18 passingeffort for 121 yards by Fitzger-ald. NewCath totaled 167 yards,with 103 through the air byquarterback Pat Henschen.

With big plays at a premium,none was bigger than Tucker’sramble. Helping the cause wasDeondre Pleasant’s fourth-quarter interception for Scott,ending NewCath’s final drive atthe Eagles’ 32 with 47 secondsto play. Skyler Hale also had akey interception to halt a scor-ing threat, and Jordan Velas-quez posted a fumble recovery.

Scott overcame 16 penaltiesfor 120 yards in losses, and sev-eral bad snaps for more lostyardage to beat the Thorough-breds for the first time in 16years. The last time the Eagles

KENTON COUNTY — The Jere-my Robertson coaching tree isbranching out with some newsprouts. The Covington Catho-lic soccer coach and one-timeHighlands coach has five for-mer assistants who are nowhead coaches, four of them lead-ers of area boys’ soccer pro-grams.

“It always makes things in-teresting when you go head tohead,” Robertson said. “Itshould definitely make for aninteresting year.”

Every year is interesting inthe Ninth Region, which con-founded its followers with yetanother surprise tournamentchampion. St. Henry enteredlast year’s regional three gamesabove .500, and knocked off Ho-ly Cross, Boone County and pe-rennial power CovCath in thepenalty-kick final.

CovCath was a favorite lastseason, rendering last year’ssecond straight regional oustervia penalty kick a bitter disap-pointment. But Robertson washappy for St. Henry coach Ste-phen Hahn, his former assistantat Highlands.

Continued publicity about celiacdisease and the gluten-free diet hasled to misconceptions about glutenand its role in weight loss. As a conse-quence, many individuals withoutgluten intolerance are following agluten-free diet.

Celiac disease is an inherited,autoimmune disorder in which somepeople’s gastrointestinal tract cannotproperly digest gluten, a proteinfound in wheat, barley and rye. In ce-liac disease, gluten destroys some of

the intestine’s lining as itpasses through the diges-tive tract, which hindersnutrient absorption. Only1 percent of the popula-tion has been diagnosedwith celiac disease, while30 percent of the popula-tion carries its geneticmarkers.

It is estimated that 1 in133 people show signs ofgluten sensitivity, which

like celiac disease includeindigestion, bloating, diar-rhea and fatigue. An im-mune system response togluten is thought to causenon-celiac gluten intoler-ance. A gluten-free diet isthe current treatment forthose with either disease.

The reason why a glu-ten-free diet became a fadweight-loss diet is un-known. But the popularityof the diet has caused thegluten-free market to ex-plode in recent years withgluten-free productscommanding a premiumprice. A recent surveyfound that only 10 percentof the people who pur-chase gluten-free prod-ucts do so out of necessity.

The other 90 percent pur-chase them because of theperceived health benefitsof going gluten free.

In fact, some who havebeen diagnosed with celi-ac disease may find thatswitching to a gluten-freediet causes them to gainweight. Gluten-free foodstend to have a higheramount of fat, refined car-bohydrates and caloriesto make up for the tastegluten gives food. Whilethe gluten-free diet ishigher in fat and calories,it is often lower in impor-tant nutrients includingfiber, iron, folate, carbo-hydrates, niacin, calciumand vitamin B12.

If you’re interested in

weight loss or mainte-nance, consider addingmore fruits, vegetables,whole grains and lean pro-teins to your diet ratherthan going gluten free.More information on glu-ten is available in our Uni-versity of Kentucky ex-tension publication FCS3-564: “The Gluten-FreeChoice: Is It for Me?” It isavailable at kentoncountyextension.org under theFamily and ConsumerSciences tab, or call us at356-3155 and we can sendyou a copy.

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 electric service and gas service for residential and commercial customers.

A typical residential gas customer using 70 ccf in a month will see an increase of $0.02 or 0.03%. A typical residential electric customer using 1000 kWh in a month will see a decrease of $0.12 or (0.14%).

Non-residential gas customers and non-residential electric 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 notice of the proposed rate changes, submit a written request to intervene to the Public Service Commission, 211 Sower Boulevard, P.O.

DEATHS

The Behringer-Craw-ford Museum (BCM) isseeking veterans and oth-ers to share their personalstories in a new exhibit inrecognition of the North-ern Kentuckians whoserved during the KoreanWar.

The exhibit will runfrom June 4 through Aug.28, 2016, and will featurerecorded interviews, dia-ries, photographs, mediareports, letters, uniformsand other artifacts to doc-ument the roles thatNorthern Kentuckiansplayed and the impactthey had on the war.

According to a pressrelease, the Korean War,which took place betweenWorld War II and the Viet-nam War, has often beendubbed the "ForgottenWar" because it received

relatively little attentionover the years and is bare-ly mentioned in many his-tory texts. Yet, more than60 years later, veterans ofthe war, their loved onesand many in their commu-nities haven't forgottenthe bloody conflict thatlasted three years (1950-1953), took 35,000 Ameri-can lives and ended with-out clear resolution.

The BCM is seeking in-terviews and stories withveterans, family andfriends of veterans andothers. To sign up for aninterview or for more in-formation about the ex-hibit, contact BCM cura-tor Tiffany Hoppenjans at859-491-4003 or by emailat [email protected].

Interviews will bescheduled through De-cember with primary con-sideration for thosescheduled by Oct. 1.
