The hemp harvest is in Now nail-biting is about to begin Julia Fair
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Editor's note: This is an excerpt from the fi nal installment of The Long, Hard Road, an Enquirer special section at Cincinnati.com. Daryl Burns looks out on his crop, and it is not a familiar sight. The 66year-old lifelong farmer took a gamble with his crop this year. “We had to,” said Addison Burns, Daryl’s 33-year-old son. “Tobacco was done, and we had to try something new.” The Burnses are hemp farmers, at least for now. This Campbell County family, like many across the U.S., has been dealing with declining tobacco profi t. The labor wasn’t worth it anymore. They won’t know how profi table their fi rst hemp crop is until the process is over, and that makes Daryl Burns nervous. The weather will determine if what they have grown is, in fact, legal. That’s because weather impacts how much CBD and THC a plant has. To have a profi table – and not illegal – crop, the Burns family needs its plants to have a large percentage of CBD and a very low percentage of THC. CBD, short for cannabidiol, is the nonpsychoactive chemical in hemp that is rising in popularity because it’s believed by some to reduce anxiety and help with sleep and pain. THC, short for tetrahydrocannabinol, is the compound responsible for the psychotropic eff ects of marijuana. At $3 a plant, the Burns family spent $24,000 to plant 4 acres of hemp. It was another few hundred dollars to put down special tape and plastic to help the plants grow, something tobacco never needed. Hemp takes a lot of “babysitting,” as the family puts it. Daryl’s days on the farm could span

from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the summer. “We don’t go home for lunch. We bring us a bologna sandwich and spend the day here,” he said. The investment and time commitment could be worth it. In 2018, hemp processors reported $57.8 million in gross product sales, compared with $16.7 million in 2017, according to the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. But a lot could go wrong. Hot temperatures, like the days Northern Kentucky had this summer, could produce more THC. Then the state can destroy the family's crop. No one will know the exact levels until the plants are sent to the processor. How
long that takes depends on how the weather dries the plant. CBD levels can vary as well, which means the pay scale varies. Plants have diff erent levels, and some levels vary within the same plant. “But that’s farming,” the elder Burns says. Once, he lost an entire acre of tobacco in a fi ve-minute hailstorm. In the barn, as his hemp dries, Daryl smushes one of the dry plants between his fi ngers. It’s how to release the oil that has the CBD in it, he explains. The market for this magic stuff is expanding. A farmer could do worse. “I think,” Daryl says, “we’ll probably do it again next year.”
Hot temperatures, like the days Northern Kentucky had this summer, could produce more tetrahydrocannabinol.

Sheriff: Beware of gift card email scam Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer I USA TODAY NETWORK
The Kenton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce is urging residents to watch out for a potential email phishing scam where they are asked to purchase retail gift cards. Deputies were alerted Monday that a nearby county government agency’s employees received emails from an out-of-offi ce supervisor asking them to purchase retail gift cards. According to a press release from the sheriff ’s offi ce, after the initial email exchange, employees were asked to scratch off the back of the cards to reveal their PIN codes. The scammer asked each person to send a picture of the PIN codes to a mobile number. Although the supervisor’s name was correct in the email, the generic address from “earthlink.net” was suspicious. The employees contacted the supervisor directly to verify the scam attempt. “Purchasing retail credit cards and giving PIN codes is a fi rst clue it is a scam!” said Patrick Morgan, chief deputy at Kenton County Sheriff ’s Offi ce in the release. The Sheriff ’s Offi ce is warning residents in the area to not engage scam emails or callers. Deputies say to avoid giving out personal information, giving payment over the phone, or confi rming personal information. Morgan said most of the time, scammers are friendly, professional and convincing. “If a request from a supervisor, family member, neighbor or provider of service seems unusual — do not return the email or call the number provided. Contact the person or provider directly through your known contact numbers and verify the request,” according to the Sheriff ’s Offi ce.

FOR SOUTHGATE AREA
Cincinnati Enquirer I USA TODAY NETWORK
The nonprofi t sector in Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky raises and spends about a half a billion dollars annually in its eff orts to fi ght poverty. An Enquirer analysis, focused on fi nances of 10 of the area’s largest nonprofi ts that deal with poverty, shows there are headwinds against such agencies helping the poor. In short: ❚ Donations are down. The amount of private donations is failing to keep up with infl ation despite the thriving economy. Why? Changes in tax laws, cultural shifts and increased competition for giving dollars. ❚ Costs are up. Private agencies trying to alleviate the impact of poverty and get people on their feet fi nancially are being asked to do more, with spending up signifi cantly this decade on programs ranging from health care to food needs to shelter to job training. “It’s not as simple as 'get a job and get out of poverty,' ” said Tammy Weidinger, president and chief executive offi cer for Brighton Center, one of Northern Kentucky’s largest nonprofi ts that deals with the poor, providing homeless shelters, drug treatment, and job

training/counseling. “The reality is, even for people who are working hard, they still face major barriers.” Those involved in the region’s social-service nonprofi t sector mostly agree their goal remains elusive – reducing the region’s substantial poverty numbers, which have stayed stubbornly high despite the economic recovery and historically low unemployment rates. About 25% of Cincinnati city residents lived below the poverty line as of 2018, according to U.S. Census estimates. That’s down slightly from previous years but is still the fi fth-worst rate among the nation’s largest cities. And 17% of all children in the entire Cincinnati region lived in poverty in 2017, according to Census estimates. That’s 15th-highest among areas with populations of 2 million or more. Part of the challenge, nonprofi t offi cials say, is that the face of poverty has changed. Yes, homeless people still live on the streets. But increasingly, the agencies surveyed deal with the working poor – people who are working two or three jobs See NONPROFITS, Page 6A

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Hunters killed a record number of deer in Kentucky during the recent gun season, surpassing last year's record. Hunters killed about 107,000 deer during the 16-day season that ended on Nov. 24, up from the approximately 106,800 deer killed a year ago, the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources said in a news release. The increase in kills over the past two years has co-
incided with longer seasons in some areas where previously only 10 days were allowed for hunting. Hunters requested the increase to 16 days, which now happens across all zones in Kentucky. Acting Deer and Elk Program coordinator Kyle Sams said bag limits in place for deer ensured herd numbers remained in good shape. The muzzleloader season for deer runs from Dec. 14 to Dec. 22.

Gene Clabes, who owned and edited NKY newspapers, dead at age 74 (Henderson, Ky.) Gleaner
Community journalist, editor, horseman and entrepreneur Gene Clabes has died at age 74, according to the Northern Kentucky Tribune. Clabes died Friday, Nov. 29, after suffering from heart and kidney disease. Clabes, a founder of the Tribune and a graduate of the University of Kentucky School of Journalism, is survived by his wife of 54 years, Judith Clabes. She is editor and publisher of the Tribune, and a former editor of the Kentucky Post and a former Cincinnatibased E.W. Scripps Co. executive.
Clabes, a native of Henderson, Kentucky, lived in Edgewood. According to a story in the Tribune, “Gene and Judy Clabes married as Clabes college students at UK and built a reputation as distinguished journalists. Gene purchased the Ludlow Enterprise from Gus Sheehan in the 80s and went on to purchase the Recorder Newspapers from the Dear Co.” Clabes “went on to build the Recorders in communities” across Northern Kentucky.
The papers were subsequently sold to the Community Newspapers of Cincinnati. Community Newspapers was sold in 2004 to The Enquirer. Clabes was president of the Florence Rotary, president of the Kentucky Press Association, equine director for the Kentucky Equine Education Project, and a member of the Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame and outstanding graduate of the UK School of Journalism. He was also a thoroughbred horse breeder and trainer on his farm in Bourbon County for many years – and was a life-long lover of horses and well as a rider who competed in quarter horse
shows in his younger years. “Gene was my hero,” said his wife, Judy. “He still is my hero and my inspiration. He was a wonderful husband and father to our two sons and a loving grandfather to our grandchildren. “We have our fond memories to sustain us and his good humor, work ethic and kindness to guide us.” Other survivors include sons Joseph of Lexington and Jacob of Edgewood, and fi ve grandchildren. Memorials can be made to the nonprofi t Northern Kentucky Tribune, 644 Braddock Court, Edgewood, KY 41017.
2020 Jeff erson Award: Nominate a deserving volunteer Peggy Kreimer Hodgson The Rotary Club of Cincinnati
The Jeff erson Awards have been called the the Nobel Prizes for community service, and the next winner could be in Greater Cincinnati’s back yard, said Bill Shula, who coordinates the local nomination process for The Rotary Club of Cincinnati. Nominations are being accepted from the public from Dec. 6 through Jan. 17, 2020. Applications are available at cincinnati.com/jeff ersonawards. Shula chairs the Jeff erson Award Committee that will choose a local winner to compete for the national award. In the past 15 years, eight local winners have gone on to receive the national award, said Shula, of Bethel, Ohio.
In 2019, Tim Arnold of Northside, who founded Lawn Life to give jobs and a second chance to at-risk young people, won the national award. Other recent national winners were Nancy Eigel-Miller of Mariemont, honored in 2018 for suicide prevention work, and Suzy DeYoung of Milford, honored in 2017, for creating a non-profit that enlists restaurant owners to help feed low income families. “Greater Cincinnati has incredibly generous and creative people who are changing the world around them,” said Shula. “We want to recognize them here at home and nationally. That’s why we’re asking the public to look at the people who make a diff erence and nominate them.” The Jeff erson Awards is a program of
the national non-profi t Multiplying Good, which promotes community service and presents the national Jeff erson Awards honoring outstanding service in more than a dozen categories, from service by public offi cials and professional sports fi gures to service by private citizens, students and corporations. The local nomination process is for the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Award for Outstanding Public Service Benefi ting Local Communities, part of the overall Jeff erson Awards. Winners are chosen through community nomination programs in more than 90 communities throughout the country. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati administers the nomination program in Greater Cincinnati, with local partners The Cincinnati Enquirer and WKRC-TV
Local 12. Nominees do not have to be Rotary members. Bob Herzog of Local 12 will honor three local fi nalists and present the local Jeff erson Award at the weekly Rotary luncheon Feb. 27, 2020, at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza Hotel, downtown. The winning nominee becomes one of 90 national fi nalists. Typically, fi ve national winners are honored in a ceremony in Washington, D.C. in June. The Jeff erson Awards program was created in 1972 by Cincinnati native, then-U.S. Senator Robert Taft, and former fi rst lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati has coordinated the local nomination and award program since 2005.

just to stay afl oat, a much larger constituency that means more demand and diff erent services. “Probably 70% of the families we see … are working,” said Kurt Reiber, president and chief executive offi cer of Freestore Foodbank, the area’s largest free food provider. “But when an economic shock hits, whether it’s when a car breaks down, a child gets sick, utility bills are out of sight, they have to make a decision: do I buy food or do I pay my rent?” Even with the expanded demand and shrinking resources, those working for regional nonprofi ts said they're fi lling a key role and that they can't solve the poverty problem by themselves. “It’s a systemic issue,” said Roger Howell, who has run City Gospel Mission, a Christian-oriented homeless shelter and treatment center in Queensgate, since 1992. “When a person in society says, ‘Well, how come we spent a half a billion dollars and how come we didn’t solve poverty?’ Well, we need good jobs for people, we need housing, we need a justice system that is more equitable for everybody. “We have helped a lot of people. We would be a lot worse if we hadn’t done it.”
Demands on nonprofi ts on the rise The Enquirer reviewed the fi nances of 10 of the area’s largest nonprofi ts that deal with issues surrounding poverty, using data provided on their 990 tax returns from 2013 to 2017, the latter being the most recent return available. Nonprofi t experts say the 10 should represent most of the donations and spending geared toward poverty. “In the nonprofi t world … 85% of the money is concentrated in about 4% of the organizations,” said Elizabeth Boris, founding director of the Center on Non-
profi ts and Philanthropy at the Urban Institute. The list of 10 agencies included the nonprofi t hospital chain TriHealth, which accounted for almost half the total revenues and spending of the agencies. The hospital system was included in The Enquirer analysis because it operates a clinic that provides free or reduced-cost medical services to poor patients. The clinic, in East Price Hill, is the largest such operation in the area. Clinic leader Linda Smith Berry said the agency has seen changes in the people it treats as it deals more with the working poor. One customer was fi red after missing too many days at work and "his health care (insurance) was through work, so now he has no health care,” Smith Berry said. “We discover he has cancer and that’s why he’s been feeling bad. “We took care of him and he’s still a patient, but not for long because he’s going back to work. That’s a lot of what we see.” Indeed, other agency offi cials say the nearly half-billion dollars spent on services for the poor help but are nowhere near enough to meet the demand created by the changing face of poverty. That includes: ❚ A major increase in the number of working poor. Those in the region’s bottom quarter of the workforce also saw their wages decline by 4 percent between 2007 and 2017, when adjusted for infl ation. ❚ More health problems. Many agencies report that their clients are struggling with chronic health or mental illness issues that can't be treated longterm because they can't get aff ordable care. ❚ A rise in single-parent households, a major indicator of poverty. An estimated 41.3 percent of children lived in such a household in Hamilton County alone in 2017 according to the U.S. Census. That's up from 38.7 percent in 2009, during the Great Recession. One expert said the number of kids in
single-parent households in Ohio exceeds 920,000, which could nearly fi ll Ohio State's football stadium 10 times over. “It’s diffi cult to convince a company to put its resources behind such big issues," said Bernice Sanders Smoot, president of Saint Wall Street, a consulting fi rm that helps nonprofi ts with marketing and works with companies on nonprofi t giving. Those changing demographics drove a 13 percent spending increase by these 10 agencies on programming for the poor between 2013-2017 adjusted for infl ation. The nonprofi ts increasingly used government grants to cover the costs, as well as charging clients more for services. “Spending is up because that’s just the nature of the client today – they come to us with more issues and we’re trying to help them,” said Peggy Zink, CEO for Cincinnati Works, the downtown nonprofi t that provides job training and coaching at no charge to participants. Demetrius Scott is an example of the new kind of working-poor client showing up at the doors of area poverty fi ghters. The 20-year-old graduated high school in 2017 and got a job. But he found himself homeless and drifting between the home of several relatives, saying he got into fi ghts with a few of them and eventually got fi red from his job, partly because of his own admitted bad attitude. Scott eventually landed at City Gospel Mission, which put him up for several months, giving him job training and counseling. He now has a full-time job at the UPS facility in Newport, making $14 an hour plus “a lot of overtime.” Scott pays $15 a week to the shelter as do all residents with jobs to “put skin in the game,” said director Howell. In addition, he needs to set aside an additional $100 a week for the day when he can move out, which he plans to do in the next few weeks. “Being independent is being free so you can branch out and do whatever you
want with your life,” Scott said. “It is very meaningful that I can come in here and rebuild my life.”
Contributions lag despite better economy While spending increased, the amount of money raised through private donations remained stagnant, and even fell by 4.5% between 2013-2017 when adjusted for infl ation. Donations make up about half of all revenue for these nonprofi ts. One of the top reasons for the drop in donations was a recent tax change that raised the minimum deduction allowed on personal income tax returns, removing an incentive to give. The Freestore Foodbank’s Reiber said the tax law cost his agency $1 million in contributions alone, according to an internal analysis. “Last December was a perfect storm when it came to fundraising,” Reiber said. “Between the government shutdown, the decline in the stock market and the tax changes, a lot of nonprofi ts got hurt.” But agency offi cials say there is something deeper at work. Corporate giving is down, particularly to umbrella agencies such as the United Way, as younger workers want to be more connected and involved with where they give, they said. The large businesses that United Way and others relied on also have shrunk in size, meaning another reduction in corporate giving. “There are just not as many motivators to give to a traditional nonprofi t as in the past,” said Holly End, chief fundraiser for the United Way of Greater Cincinnati. “We’re all having to regroup around what the new philanthropist looks like.” Another issue: more competition for nonprofi t dollars. The number of nonprofi ts nationally has almost doubled this decade for all sectors, creating more demand for donation dollars according to the National Council of Nonprofi ts, a major industry group.

You might become a fan of fruit cakes Victorian Jewels (mini fruit cakes)
Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld
I’ve been getting requests for fruitcakes. Traditional, mini, fruitcakes that start with a spice cake mix, even “golden” (lighter texture and taste) fruitcakes. I have to admit this makes me smile. Now I’m not crazy about fruitcake, but do like a small piece. My husband, Frank, loves fruitcake. The kids are somewhere in between. Apparently readers like Maureen Grady, a Park Hills, Kentucky reader whose Mom came from England and every year would make fruitcakes, is like Frank. “She’d make marvelous Christmas fruit cakes, large, dark and rich, which she would pour bourbon or sherry over and wrap in cheesecloth.” Maureen and the other kids shelled black walnuts for the cakes around Thanksgiving. Now that’s a wonderful holiday memory. Here’s recipes for both little, and large, fruitcakes. If you’ve never made fruitcake, go ahead and try the mini ones. They’ve become a reader favorite. You might just become a fan. Check my website for the other fruitcakes mentioned.

How a vaping poison law faltered Letitia Stein and Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Federal regulators this year stepped up eff orts to protect young children from a deadly vaping threat: accidents involving liquid nicotine in bottles with enticing candy colors and fl avors. In February, the Consumer Product Safety Commission sent out notices about a safety requirement that it had previously ignored. In addition to childresistant caps, vape juice containers must dramatically limit how much can spill out of an open bottle. A vial can contain enough poison to kill four toddlers. But nine months later – and nearly four years after a federal law called for fl ow restrictors – dangerous and illegal bottles remain on shelves across the country, a USA TODAY investigation has found. In Detroit, a reporter purchased a pink bottle of berry-fl avored vape juice violating the safety standards. In Liverpool in upstate New York, “Bad Drip” liquid nicotine was sold in a bottle without a fl ow restrictor. A bottle in Appleton, Wisconsin, was sealed with nothing more than wax. Reporters had little trouble fi nding and buying vaping products in illegal bottles from Florida to Pennsylvania, California to South Carolina The unsafe vape juice bottles aren't everywhere, though. Alex Boyd, owner of Scarlet Vape & Smoke Shop in Newport, Kentucky, said vape-juice containers at his shop just south of the Ohio River all meet safety requirements. "The vape industry has adopted the requirements," Boyd said. He said the old, glass bottles with a basic eye-dropper simply don’t make sense for the new vaping devices, let alone child safety. Now, the bottles on his shelves are plastic, with child-safety sealing and the required notifi cation that they contain nicotine. id. The result is improved all around, Boyd said. "It's better for the customer, and the seals are more secure." Even so, children in Ohio, including the Cincinnati region, are among those nationwide whose parents have called poison control saying the children have ingested the poisonous vape juice. Just this year, 100 calls have come to poison control in Ohio from people who said their child may have ingested vape fl uid, according to the Cincinnati Children's Drug and Poison Information Center. Dr. Shan Yin, medical director of the center and an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine, cautioned parents and caregivers about the danger of the fl uid. "There have been children who've been ill from these," he said. "Nicotine is actually a pretty potent poison. … There have been cases that have been described in medical literature of some serious eff ects." The poison center data from Ohio showed that in no case this year has a child suff ered from a serious poisoning from the juice or died, Yin said. The extent of the problem with vape fl uid containers across some 11,500 vape stores nationally remains unknown. Not even the federal agency enforcing the regulation can say how widely fl ow restrictors are being used. Since May, the CPSC has conducted at least 50 inspections of vape stores and sent more than 30 “notice of violation” letters advising manufacturers to stop selling products without safety protections. But the agency has not publicly recalled any liquid nicotine bottles and lagging enforcement may be emboldening illegal product dumping. Sandbar Vapor Lounge owner David Bivens, who had illegal bottles on his shelves in Vero Beach, Florida, said that in fi ve years in the business, he had never heard about the fl ow restrictor rule and would have removed products without the safety feature if authorities told him to. “I always follow the rules,” he said.

Fox Valley Vapor store owner Brad Busse in Appleton, Wisconsin, has seen manufacturers discounting bottles without fl ow restrictors. He thinks consumers may fi nd the products “fl ooding the market.” CPSC commissioner Peter Feldman also observed bargain pricing on bottles of liquid nicotine appearing to lack fl ow restrictors at a vape store in northern Virginia, within 10 miles of the agency’s headquarters. “I’m concerned that the agency’s own actions have contributed to a spike in sales of noncompliant containers,” he wrote in a recent email to CPSC staff , blaming the “slow-walking enforcement.” The agency is now concerned, too. It warned retailers in a letter prepared last week that steeply discounting unsafe bottles shows “they know that they are engaged in selling illegal products.” The failure of this simple fi x to a vaping hazard is a cautionary tale amid today’s calls for stricter policing of e-cigarettes prompted by a rising epidemic of youth vaping and a new health threat: a deadly outbreak of vape-related respiratory illness that has sickened more than 2,000 people. As regulation lagged, a new generation of tobacco products grew into a multibillion dollar industry whose consequences are still poorly understood. Government public health reviews of ecigarettes, long delayed, are still not required until next year. President Donald Trump has sent mixed signals in an increasingly political fi ght over stronger regulations of vaping products. A public health push to ban certain fl avored products drew protests from vapors who vote. Protecting children from poisoning, by contrast, was not nearly as complicated. Yet it still took almost two years – and the death of a child – to get a law passed requiring the bottles of liquid nicotine to include child-resistant caps, meeting safety standards applied to other household hazards. It took an additional three years for regulators to clarify that the law also required the fl ow restrictors. It has taken regulators nearly one more year to highlight the fl ow restrictor rule for retailers in the open letter explaining the requirement. It was prepared for release last week, after USA TODAY asked the agency about the illegal products that reporters purchased with ease all over the country. Meanwhile, emergency rooms saw an estimated 4,200 injuriesinyoung childrenforliquid nicotineingestion from 2015 to 2018, according to safety commission fi gures. From January to September of this year, the American
Association of Poison Control Centers’ call logs include nearly 3,000 cases involving exposure to vaping products. More than half were for children 5 and younger. “The industry exploded and was moving very fast. The regulation of it was in slow motion," said Kyran Quinlan, an American Academy of Pediatrics leader on injury violence and poison prevention.
Regulation in slow motion even after death In 2014, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sounded alarms about rising calls to poison centers over young children exposed to liquid nicotine and e-cigarettes. Quinlan and other pediatricians warned the government that it was only a matter of time before a child died. Later that year, just before Christmas, their fears were realized when 1year-old Eli Hotaling got into an open liquid nicotine bottle in an upstate New York home. He began to convulse and vomit blood, with his eyes rolling to the back of his head, according to a police report. His skin was purple when an ambulance pulled away. Broad regulation of e-cigarettes as a tobacco product fell to the Food and Drug Administration, which had not yet fi nalized plans for doing so. The CPSC enforced safety packaging standards for hazardous household chemicals and drugs under rules set out by a 1970 poison prevention law. Congress came up with a seemingly straightforward fi x: The bipartisan Child Nicotine Poisoning Prevention Act, signed into law in early 2016, required liquid nicotine bottles to meet the child-resistant packaging standards that were already established, such as caps and fl ow restrictors. The CPSC would implement it. But the CPSC did not fully enforce the law. Last February, three years after the law passed, “as much as 100% of liquid nicotine containers do not comply fully,” a newly appointed CPSC commissioner revealed in a Twitter post, citing the fl ow restrictor requirement. Feldman, a Republican, had helped write the law as a U.S. Senate staff member. His tweet called on CPSC to issue an “immediate stop-sale order.” Instead, the agency sent out a letter promising it would soon give the industry guidance about meeting the fl ow restrictor requirement, acknowledging its previous silence on the measure. Feldman and another commissioner issued a statement criticizing the delay. In March, CPSC put out complicated
guidelines on testing bottles with fl ow restrictors to make sure they release no more than 2 milliliters of liquid at a time when inverted. Documents obtained by USA TODAY show the CPSC’s then-acting chairwoman, Ann Marie Buerkle, proposed in July that enforcement be pushed off by an additional six months. Other commissioners rejected that idea. The CPSC has not announced a recall of any liquid nicotine product, a common way the agency protects consumers from other dangerous products. Reporters found “Naked 100” liquid nicotine in illegal bottles in California, Florida, New Jersey, Michigan and South Carolina in fl avors such as “really berry” and “green lemon.” The products were still readily available even though manufacturer USA Vape Lab’s website said it had voluntarily recalled four dozen products in July because they lacked fl ow restrictors. The company declined to comment further, citing a confi dential agreement with CPSC over a “mutually agreed upon recall plan.” The agency declined to comment on its handling of the product, saying in a statement “we do not discuss specifi c enforcement actions.” Although corporate penalties are rare, some manufacturers have received “notice of violation” letters from the CPSC telling them to stop sales and inform retailers – or risk large fi nes and even prison time, according to a copy obtained by USA TODAY.
Industry rejects 'vaping hysteria' Vaping enthusiasts think the political backlash against the industry has been overblown. Regulating manufacturers might not have saved the upstate New York toddler, because he was poisoned by a liquid nicotine solution that had been mixed and bottled at home. Similarly, today’s calls for a fl avor ban and to raise vaping’s age limit might not have prevented the latest outbreak of respiratory illnesses. Health investigators now think a key concern is an additive, vitamin E acetate, sometimes mixed into THC-containing vape products sold on the streets. “There is a level of hysteria around vaping that is not necessarily tied to the actual data,” said industry lawyer Boaz Green, whose fi rm Keller and Heckman wrote to CPSC on behalf of trade groups and manufacturers, disputing that the law explicitly required fl ow restrictors. Of the household hazards regulated by CPSC, the letter noted, only furniture polish also requires fl ow restrictors. More children were poisoned by bleach in 2017 than by liquid nicotine. To pediatricians, however, liquid nicotine is a unique hazard, harmful through skin contact as well as ingestion. Bleach is like a mosquito bite – common but rarely serious – while liquid nicotine can be deadly with just a sip, said Quinlan, the pediatric injury expert. In southwest Florida, Vape King owner Laura Kaman sells only products that she believes meet all the safety standards, including fl ow restriction. She gained fi rsthand knowledge of the dangers: Her dachshund, Taco, once chewed on a low-nicotine bottle. Luckily, Taco was not harmed. “Accidents can happen,” Kaman said.

Woodward Career Technical High School honored legendary Bulldog basketball player and coach Dennis Bettis Sr. Dec. 6 by retiring his jersey and dedicating the school's court to him. A major infl uence in the Cincinnati basketball scene, Bettis died Oct. 20 at age 62. He was a fl oor general for Woodward's basketball team at point guard from 1971-1975 and later played for Northern Kentucky University. He was the former director of the Deveroes Summer League and a major infl uence on the youth basketball scene. This ceremony occurred during halftime of the varsity boys basketball game against Hughes High School. The Bettis family in attendance received an honorary plaque as school offi cials renamed the court and hung Bettis’ No. 11 high school jersey in the rafters. The fi rst 200 guests received a spirit towel in recognition of the ceremony.
Woodward High School basketball takes to floor at the newly named Dennis Bettis Court before its game against Hughes.
In 1978, Bettis helped lead the Norse to a 20-8 record and to their fi rst postseason tournament. It was also that season that NKU picked up one of the biggest wins in program history (59-
58) over Xavier University. Despite leading the Norse to new heights, the NBA didn’t come calling when Bettis graduated in 1979. But he found his future in the game on the sidelines. In 1983, Bettis returned to his old stomping grounds to serve as a coaching assistant for the Bulldogs. Bettis served in that role for 35 years, helping lead Woodward to a championship in 1988. In 1986, Bettis, Butch Burbridge, Ralph Lee and Derek Davis started the Citywide AA Basketball League, a staple of Cincinnati summers for years, also known as the Deveroes Summer League. Bettis, though, was much more than just basketball. He was a devoted father to his sons Dennis Jr. and Dominique and daughter Zariya.

Every time Bryson Langdon touched the ball, a swarm of Eastern Kentucky defenders were waiting for him. It was the Colonels’ gameplan to press Northern Kentucky for the entire game and nobody felt that pressure more than the Norse’s sophomore point guard. Yet, it didn’t matter. Langdon wore out the Colonels’ full court press by scoring 14 points on 83 percent shooting and led the Norse to a 76-57 win Sunday night at BB&T Arena. “It was my mindset to come into the game and be more aggressive,” Langdon said. “I hadn’t been playing as well as I wanted to, so I just needed to step up today.” Langdon’s rise to the occasion was one of many for the Norse (7-3). Alongside another stellar game from Dantez Walton (18 points, 9 rebounds), Trevon Faulkner had one of his best games of the year, matching Walton’s 18 points and adding seven assists and six rebounds. The fi nal scoreboard read as a 19point blowout win over the Colonels (3-6), but Eastern Kentucky hung around for most of the game thanks to Ty Taylor II’s 14 points. It was the Eastern Kentucky defense that gave Northern Kentucky coach Darrin Horn headaches, though. “I’m thinking their program’s headSee NORSE, Page 2B

CovCath wins second state football title in 3 years James Weber
Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
LEXINGTON – After a battle of explosive off enses and fearsome defenses, the more experienced championship team will bring another title back to Northern Kentucky. Covington Catholic defeated Frederick Douglass 14-7 Saturday night in the KHSAA Class 5A state championship football game at the University of Kentucky’s Kroger Field. The Colonels fi nished 15-0 in winning their second state championship in the past three seasons and improved to 44-1 overall in that span. They won their eighth championship all-time and the
58th by a Northern Kentucky school. Douglass, a Lexington school in its third year of existence, fi nished 14-1 and is 35-5 in its short history. “It’s the best feeling I’ve ever had in my life,” CovCath senior John Lawrie said. “We all played well together. We came out and did everything we can to win. It’s awesome. A lot of us have been playing together since we were little kids. We knew this is what we were made for since we were young kids. We dreamed about this ever since day one, and it’s the greatest feeling.” The game came down to Douglass starting at its own 21-yard line with 1:42 to play, trailing 14-7. The Broncos went nowhere. On fourth down, quarterback Josh McClurg scrambled around before
CovCath senior Carter Martin brought him down to end the threat. The game featured two of the best defenses in Kentucky, who dominated every team on their schedule not named Lexington Catholic this season. CovCath had allowed 85 points for the season coming in, and Douglass 84. Both had allowed over 30 to LexCath. They lived up to that billing as the Colonels won the total off ense by a yard, 159-158. CovCath’s unit, which starts 10 seniors and one junior, shut down an athletic Douglass team averaging 43 points and 364 yards per game featuring several athletic playmakers and two elite Division I recruits on the line. “Our defense has been winning all year,” CovCath head coach Eddie Evis-
ton said. “They really have. Our off ense was able to put points up all year, but tonight, it was a battle of two defenses. Man, our defense played lights out and got the stops when we needed them.” Said senior Daniel Felix, who had six tackles on the night: “It feels really good since last year, we weren’t able to come out on top. I’m so thankful for my team, all the coaches and everything. Our defense played lights out once again. I have to hand it to our defense; we’re the best defense in the state.” CovCath senior Michael Mayer, a Notre Dame commit and Mr. Football frontrunner, was named the most valuable player of the game by making key plays See COLONELS, Page 2B

After a handful of turnovers – that would ultimately reach 21 total – and missed shots, the Norse found themselves trailing 21-9 with 11:30 in the fi rst half. After a media timeout, the Norse walked back on the court refocused. Northern Kentucky put a lid on the basket and kept the Colonels scoreless for

Owen Nally. Senior Michael Boydston returned the opening kickoff to the CovCath 31, then had four touches on the drive, two rushes for six yards and two catches for 21. CovCath junior quarterback Caleb Jacob was a perfect 6-of-6 passing for 53 yards. Three of those completions went to Mayer. On third down and 5, Mayer started to fall down on his back while the ball was heading his way. Mayer reached out with his left hand and pulled the ball in at the Douglass 15, giving CovCath a fourth and one. Felix converted on fourth down on
the next play, diving through the line for a one-yard gain. Mayer then made another tough catch, reaching sky high to grab a Jacob pass near the sideline and eluding a tackler as he got to the 8 for an 11-yard gain. Felix rushed for six yards to the 2yard line, then Nally fi nished it off for his fi fth touchdown of the year. “It’s one of those things where some of the experience we’ve had down here helped us a little bit,” Eviston said. “We were able to put that fi rst drive together, ate a lot of clock. I don’t know if we’ve ever had a drive take that long. It was good to strike fi rst and get a lead to start off .” After CovCath’s touchdown, the game became a defensive slugfest and a battle of fi eld position. The teams punted on seven straight possessions before the Colonels ran out the clock in the fi nal minute of the period. Lawrie, at punter, left the Broncos inside their own 20 three times, with one drive starting at the Douglass 2-yard line. CovCath started in Douglass territory twice in the second quarter, but could not generate anything. The Broncos had two sacks in the second period. CovCath only had 10 yards total off ense in the half after the opening drive. On one play, Neal stepped in front of a CovCath receiver and barely missed
intercepting a pass that could have gone the other way for six Bronco points. Douglass had only 63 yards off ense in the fi rst half, 35 on its fi nal drive of the half, which ended at midfi eld. Both teams punted on their fi rst drives of the third quarter. CovCath got a fi rst down on runs of 8 and 4 yards from Felix. The streak of punts ended as senior Andy Molique stepped in front of a receiver to intercept a Josh McClurg pass at the CovCath 31. He returned it to the Douglass 48. Then, Jacob found Mayer for the biggest gain of the game. On fourth and two from the Douglass 37, Jacob lofted a pass to Mayer, who caught it just inside the left sideline for a 37-yard gain to the Douglass 3-yard line. Mayer rushed three yards to the 1 with 2:00 to go in the period. Jacob plunged through the line for a sneak on the next play and a TD. Trey Gronotte’s kick gave CovCath a 14-0 lead with 1:39 to go in the third period. Douglass came right back with an 11play, 80-yard drive, all but one coming on the ground. Neal had fi ve carries for 59 yards on the drive, including gains of 20 and 25 yards. Ty Bryant scored after taking a wideopen path to the endzone, gaining 12 yards on a reverse. That cut the CovCath lead to 14-7 with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter.
six minutes. While the Colonels searched for a basket, the Norse went on a 15-0 scoring run, that brought BB&T Arena to its feet and the Norse back into the game. “We preach defense, and we knew that what was going to win this game,” Norse guard Tyler Sharpe said. For the remaining 5 1⁄ 2 minutes, the Colonels and Norse exchanged momentum swings. EKU went on an 8-0 run highlighted by a Taylor II 3-pointer. NKU dug back in a slowed the game back down to notch things back up at 29. Nobody gave up ground in the fi nal three minutes of the half and the two teams entered the half deadlocked at 35. Things were more of the same in the second half. Eastern Kentucky, who shot 34.6 percent from 3-point range, managed to
fi nd an easy 3-pointer in the corner and Northern Kentucky would respond with a tough fi nish inside. With 11:57 remaining, and the Norse clinging to a three-point lead, Northern Kentucky’s defense turned the pressure on the Colonels. The Norse kept the Colonels scoreless for fi ve minutes and went on a 7-0 scoring run. The Colonels would manage to bring the game back to within four points, but with Northern Kentucky’s defense locking down and it’ off ense fi nding shots, the Colonels looked like they were starting to gas out. “I’m really proud of our conditioning I thought that was ultimately the diff erence in the game,” Horn said. “I thought our guys were able to not only withstand that,but maybe play through beyond what they were able to. I thought they
looked a little winded.” That conditioning that won the Norse its second straight was developed in the summers thanks to the 3-minute runs and other conditioning exercises Horn put the team through. It may have not been fun at the time, but seeing Langdon, Faulkner and Sharpe able to trot down the sidelines with smiles while the Norse outscored the Colonels 20-5 over the last six minutes made the runs worth it. After fi nally winning back-to-back games for the fi rst times since Nov.17 and Nov. 20 the Norse are feeling good about their chances of putting together a big winning streak. Northern Kentucky is back at BB&T Arena Sunday against Illinois State. Tipoff is at 2 p.m.

on both sides of the ball. He had fi ve catches for 68 yards, including two clutch catches at key moments. He rushed three times for 20 yards, 18 on one highlight-reel play late in the game to help the Colonels clinch the win. On defense, the linebacker had 6.5 tackles, 1.5 for loss, and was a big key in containing Douglass’ explosive off ense. Mayer, who was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in Kentucky Friday, put his fi nal stamp on a potential Mr. Football resume. “He has the game of his life every time he suits up,” Eviston said. “That’s the way he approaches this game and that’s what makes him so special. Every rep, every snap, you’ll get 100 percent out of Michael Mayer. He deserves everything that comes his way.” Felix led the CovCath rushing attack with 35 yards. Senior Devin Neal, a University of Cincinnati commit, led Douglass with 94 yards rushing. CovCath started the game in a methodical and effi cient fashion, taking up the fi rst nine minutes of possession and scoring on a tough 2-yard run by junior

COMMUNITY NEWS 4-H animal sciences program Animal projects are some of the longest-running and easily identifi able aspect of 4-H. These projects range in all sizes and can work for families with lots of space or acreage to those with limited space and acreage. In Campbell County, these projects include horse, beef, goat, sheep, swine, dog, poultry and rabbit. 4-H animal projects help youth learn valuable skills. These skills include animal selection, evaluation and judging, animal health, nutrition and feeding, Prim animal daily care and training, animal reproduction and marketing. Animal projects also help 4-H’ers gain valuable life skills such as critical thinking and decision making when selecting their projects, responsibility from caring for the animals, recordkeeping when purchasing feed and other supplies and showmanship skills when competing at shows and fairs. Furthermore, the 4H’ers learn leadership skills, communication skills and organizational skills when participating in a 4-H club. As part of these programs, young people are encouraged to practice animal welfare and responsibility. 4-H’ers are encouraged to take ownership of their project and be responsible for the animal’s daily care, while receiving oversight and leadership from an adult volunteer. 4-H’ers learn how to provide adequate feed, water and shelter for their animals and give the animal opportunities for normal socialization. As the animal grows, young caretakers can learn recordkeeping and take pride in knowing they helped raise a healthy animal. Whether raising animals for food or fi ber or as pets, responsible livestock and pet owners know that responsible animal care is the right thing to do. Healthy, well cared for animals have a better quality of life and are better producers and/or pets. Adults can get involved in the 4-H Animal Science programs by working with their own children or a group of youth in a club. Adults can become certifi ed volunteers in 4-H horse, livestock and dog projects. Certifi ed volunteers either teach or oversee the required six hours of education in each project area. For more information on 4-H animal projects, contact the Campbell County Cooperative Extension Service, 3500 Alexandria Pike, Highland Heights, KY 41076, (859) 572-2600.

Please help families in our community this holiday season By Michael T. LaRosa, Chief Executive Offi cer, LaRosa’s, Inc. We all know that hunger exists in our communities,

but we may not fully understand to what extent. The reality is that one-in-fi ve children in Cincinnati are food insecure, meaning they are unsure of where their next meal will come from. In our community, Freestore Foodbank collaborates with over 500 regional agencies to serve a 20-county area, distributing 33 million meals annually. Freestore Foodbank provides a number of innovative programs that are tailored to meet the needs of those experiencing food insecurity in an accessible way. Whether it’s through schools, the VA clinic, medical providers, mobile markets, or other channels, Freestore Foodbank works to tangibly improve lives by eliminating hunger. In many Tristate communities, a sizable percentage of students rely on their school’s free and reduced meals throughout the week. As a supplement, Freestore Foodbank’s ‘Power Pack’ program sends packages of food home with students to ensure they have food on weekends. Each Power Pack contains over a dozen food items that are shelf-stable and kid-friendly. When I asked how the Power Pack program impacts the lives of students, Freestore Foodbank’s Executive Director Kurt Reiber told the story of a young boy who is a Power Pack recipient. The child’s school had recently been added for Power Pack distribution; when the boy received a Power Pack for the fi rst time he asked his teacher if he would continue to receive the food on a regular basis. His teacher told him that he would be given a Power Pack each week, and the young boy responded with relief saying that his parents had to sell all of his toys to pay their family’s rent, but now with this food he would be able to help his whole family have something to eat.

There’s a rawness in that story; the honest struggle that’s only revealed through the openness of a child. It’s easy to make ourselves the center of the holiday season; our own families, children and loved ones; the stressors of shopping, planning and preparing. But in the spirit of the season this year, consider shifting your focus to giving back. From people you’ve never met, to the neighbor you never knew struggled, help local families have a happier holiday season by participating in the LaRosa’s “Feed Our Neighbors In Need” program. To help, consider stopping by any Greater Cincinnati LaRosa’s Family Pizzeria location from Nov. 18 through Dec. 31 and for a $10 Buddy Card – we’ll contribute $ 5 to Freestore Foodbank when you do (The $ 10 Buddy Card is good for a free large cheese pizza with the purchase of any large pizza, and is good for 14 uses, or 14 free large cheese pizzas within one year).

Michael’s sisters; Donna Jean Pryor, Bonnie Jean Ormes, Michelle Dougherty and many much loved nieces and nephews survive his sudden passing. Michael was a concrete finisher that became disabled due to his injuries at work and thus he became unemployed and unprepared for his passing. His family needs many prayers and support to cope with the many financial debts that have put upon them. They have set up a funeral expense account at Field and Main Bank, PO Box 38, Cynthiana, KY 41031 for those wishing to help. Please make checks payable to Michael Dougherty Sr. or funeral expenses. We sincerely thank those that have already helped and will appreciate those that are able to help. Cooper Funeral Home handled the services.

7,100 reasons why you should support Girls on the Run (GOTR) What is GOTR? Good question. GOTR is a 10-week program for grade-school girls that coaches them on how to run their fi rst 5k, but it is SO much more. You might have seen the logo around town but were not aware of all the amazing things it has to off er. I’ve seen the logo for years at the Flying Pig Expos and on T-shirts but did not know anyone involve and had not heard about GOTR. Besides, I have a son, so it doesn’t apply to me. Right? However, I was a young girl once, plus I am a runner. I discovered running in my early 30s and it changed my life. Running helped me lose over 60 lbs. Running helped me gain confi dence, taught me patience, increased my endurance, and got me through the most diffi cult periods of my life. If running could do all that for me, I wanted to share this amazing gift with others. Little did I know just how much of a diff erence Girls on the Run makes to young girls in their formative years. I thought I was too busy to be involved. But if I can do it, so can you. Yes, YOU. YOU can help make a diff erence for young girls by being involved with Girls on the Run. My involvement started small as a Mission Adelaide. This requires at least two visits with a selected school and running in a 5k with my group of young ladies, then writing this article. I was quite intimidated about writing this article, but I activated my own star power that I learned about with Girls on the Run. On Oct. 10, I did my fi rst visit to Lincoln Elementary in Dayton, KY. 100% of the girls’ participation in GOTR at Lin-
coln Elementary is through scholarships obtained through generous donations to the Girls on the Run program. I met my girls; an amazing group of young ladies. Many of them became friends because of the program. Just a few weeks in and this already seems like a tight knit group of friends. Practice started with a snack and casual chat about how things went in everyone’s previous week. Then there is the lesson of the day. That day’s lesson was “words matter”. In front of the girls the coach squeezed some toothpaste out of a tube. The coach said, “Just like the paste, once harmful words are out, it is very diffi cult to put them back.” We headed to the gym to do laps. With every lap, the girls received one letter on their forearm with a marker. By the end of the practice, the letters spelled out, “Words Matter.” A few weeks later, on visit number two, the girls received brand new running shoes provided by donations made to Girls on the Run. The girls not only participate in this amazing program, they each receive brand new New Balance running shoes. When receiving their gift, the girls lit up as bright as the sparkles on their new shoes. They talked about their new kicks with everyone while showing them off . They all seemed to run a bit taller that day than on my fi rst visit. That day’s lesson was on confl ict. “STOP – breathe, think, respond”. Each girl made up two confl icts and then did some laps. During laps, if they were tagged, they had to talk through one of their made-up confl icts using the STOP method to reach a resolution. The day wrapped up with discussing the plans for their practice 5k and the fi nal preparations for their offi cial 5k in downtown Cincinnati. For many of the girls, the event held on November 16th was their fi rst 5k race. 5k is 3.1 miles, quite a feat for little feet. That is approximately 7,100 steps, 7,100 reasons, each step getting them closer
to their goal. Each one reaffi rming that they can do anything to which they set their mind. All their hard work and lessons from the past 10 weeks paying off when they cross the fi nish line with their team. Race day was the biggest party I have ever seen! All the girls dancing and signing on stage like rock stars. They made sparkling crowns and superhero capes at craft tables. There were also freebies and prizes. What a great day! Now, my mission is getting the word out about Girls on the Run, so that others can become involved. I recently signed up to be a SoleMate and help fundraise for the organization. I don’t want my involvement to stop there. I hope to coach a Girls on the Run team next year at a school that does not yet have the program. This program is so much more than running. Girls on the Run creates a safe place where girls can discuss their problems, celebrate their wins, and gain confi dence, while creating friendships and healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Girls on the Run teaches girls that each and every one of them is special; they have something to off er and when activating their star power – they can do anything. Here are some things that the girls at Lincoln Elementary have to say about Girls on the Run: “The GOTR program has taught me to not have a cloud over my star” - Rayna “My coaches encourage me to love myself ” - Adriana “My favorite part of the season has been when I ran and learn more about my new friends and coaches” - Canaya “I am most confi dent when I run with my friends and teachers” - Zoe To learn more, please visit: https:// www.girlsontherun.org To donate, please visit: https:// www.raceplanner.com/donate/LaurenC-Girls-on-the-Run-Greater-Cincinnati-2019-SoleMates-65929#.XcGKi8_GEHs.facebook Lauren Connolly, Newport Aquarium

SCHOOL NEWS Electives are ‘Sew’ much fun There were dancers, actors, engineers, computer techs, athletes, and artists everywhere. The sewing machines were running and the pottery was in the kiln. The junior high students at St. Joseph, Cold Spring, just fi nished up their electives for the fi rst trimester. They were thinking out of the box, stretching themselves, and even working outside of their comfort zones. The elective program challenges the students and allows them to try something new. Latent talents come to life and skills are sharpened. Learning does not just happen, it is encouraged. Linda Gabis, St. Joseph Cold Spring
NKU Construction Management ranks 11th nationally NKU’s Construction Management program is ranked among the top in the nation. We are the only Greater Cincinnati institution that is both ACCE- accredited and ranked for best value. More details below. Northern Kentucky University continues to be recognized as one of the top schools for developing business talent. The Haile/US Bank College of Business’ Construction Management program was recently ranked among the top in the nation by Best Value Schools. The free online resource for students looking for the right degree published its 50 Best Value Schools for Construction Management 2019, and NKU’s Bachelor of Science in Construction Management was ranked at 11. The program received the ranking for its degree popularity, net price and American Council for Construction Education accreditation. Best Value Schools stated in its review of NKU, “This aff ordable construction management degree provides stu-

dents with a well-rounded introduction to construction techniques, fi nance and management principles, and more — but for less than half the price of many major universities and with no compromise in quality. NKU’s continuous ACCE-accreditation is all the evidence you need to prove that this CSM program maintains the highest standards of academic and curricular rigor.” “This degree is unique to our region
because we are the only one ranked for both value and ACCE accreditation,” said Dean Hassan HassabElnaby, Haile/ US Bank College of Business. “Our students are equipped with the skills and foundation needed to be successful in this career right out of school.” The College of Business is accredited by AACSB-International, a distinction earned by fewer than 5 percent of business schools worldwide. The Construc-
tion Management program has twenty years of accredited though ACCE. NKU’s program covers technical aspects of project design and execution, in addition to management aspects that are required to successfully deliver a project on time, within budget and up to expectations.

NOTICE
Please 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 gas service and electric service for residential and commercial customers. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate for residential gas customers is ($0.012250) per hundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers is $0.000000 per hundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers is ($0.003120) per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers is $0.005024 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and $0.000637 per kilowatt-hour for transmission service. Duke Energy Kentucky seeks approval to revise these rates as follows: Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential gas customers would increase to $0.030735 per hundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers would remain at $0.000000 per hundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers would decrease to ($0.003143) per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers would decrease to $0.001768 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and would decrease to $0.000537 per kilowatt-hour for transmission service. The rate contained in this notice is the rate proposed by Duke Energy Kentucky. However, the Public Service Commission may order a rate to be charged that differs from this proposed rate. Such action may result in a rate for consumers other than the rate in this notice. The foregoing rates reflect a proposed decrease in electric revenues of approximately ($7.56) million or (2.13%) over current total electric revenues and an increase in gas revenues of approximately $2.67 million or 2.60% over current total gas revenues. A typical residential gas customer using 70 ccf in a month will see an increase of $3.01 or 4.4%. A typical residential electric customer using 1000 kWh in a month will see a decrease of $0.03 or (0.03%). A typical non-residential electric customer using 40 kilowatts and 14,000 kWh will see a decrease of $17.49 or (1.4%). A non-residential customer served at transmission voltage using 10,000 kilowatts and 4,000,000 kWh will see a decrease of $400.00 or (0.1%). Non-residential gas customers 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. Box 615, Frankfort, Kentucky 40602, and shall set forth the grounds for the request including the status and interest of the party. The intervention may be granted beyond the thirty (30) day period for good cause shown. Written comments regarding the proposed rate may be submitted to the Public Service Commission by mail or through the Public Service Commission’s website. A copy of this application filed with the Public Service Commission is available for public inspection at Duke Energy Kentucky’s office at 1262 Cox Road, Erlanger, Kentucky 41018 and on its website at http://www.duke-energy.com. This filing and any other related documents can be found on the Public Service Commission’s website at http://psc.ky.gov.
