LG&E, KU and parties to utilities' rate review reach agreement

Recommendation allows for investments in safe, reliable service

Louisville Gas and Electric Company, Kentucky Utilities Company and most parties to the utilities' rate review have reached an agreement filed with the Kentucky Public Service Commission today.

The agreement, which is subject to approval by the KPSC, gives LG&E and KU the ability to invest in intelligent control equipment that will enhance reliability and enable faster restoration of service. It also will give LG&E the ability to improve natural gas safety and reliability by replacing aging natural gas service steel lines — that run from the street to customers’ homes — with new plastic lines.

Additionally, the utilities have committed $1.45 million of shareholder dollars annually for the next four years to low-income advocacy groups that will be used to support the utilities’ most vulnerable customers.

The utilities also have agreed to withdraw their current plans for full deployment of advanced meters (AMS) that help customers better manage their energy use and allow the utilities the ability to know when customers’ service is out. LG&E and KU will continue their voluntary advanced meter program and form an AMS collaborative of interested parties from the existing rate review to address issues raised by the parties with respect to LG&E and KU’s proposal.

If approved by the KPSC, KU would receive a revenue increase of $54.9 million. LG&E would see an electric revenue increase of $59.4 million, and the natural gas business would see an increase of $7.5 million.

A KU residential customer using an average of 1,179 kilowatt hours per month would see an increase of $4.21 per month. An LG&E residential electric customer using an average of 957 kWh per month would see a total monthly increase of $6.77. A residential LG&E natural gas customer using an average of 55 Ccf per month would see a total monthly increase of $1.47.

According to the agreement, the monthly electric basic service charge for LG&E and KU, included in the increase above, would be $11.50 beginning July 1, 2017, and $12.25 beginning July 1, 2018, respectively. LG&E’s monthly natural gas basic service charge would be $16.35 beginning July 1, 2017, and remain the same until a future rate review.

"There were a large number of parties with different interests involved in this case and we are pleased to have reached a settlement that benefits our customers and their constituent groups," said Kent Blake, LG&E and KU chief financial officer. "The agreement gives us the ability to enhance our reliability and continue providing safe and reliable service to our customers while meeting the needs of the parties to this case."

The public hearing on the rate review is scheduled to begin May 9 at the KPSC offices in Frankfort.

But this is what this one says - who is correct here? wfpl.org/lge-to-lower-utility-rates-starting-april/

**********************

We recently delivered a car load of bread to this facility. Apparently the LG&E shareholders need it more than Kentucky's "most vulnerable" customers.

Although there was quite a crowd sitting and standing around this scene, no one attempted to intervene. This was in front of a Taco Bell in Louisville, KY. The officers were aggressive and went after the man - he was sitting peacefully. The officers then pulled down his pants a number of times. The officers then groped the man (naked from waist to knees) and grabbed him. The man was screaming. The officers then dragged the man around to the side of their car and were attempting to shove him into the vehicle. They attempted to put a mask on his face however the mask was crooked and his face was then bloodied. He was slammed face down on the ground. He screamed he could not breathe.

I did attempt to at least get it on record that it was excessive use of force, that the man offered no resistance and that the use of excessive force was unwarranted.

We did attempt to get him a Victim Advocate and notified various agencies of what had transpired. This is a milder case of excessive use of force and abuse of authority here in Kentucky. I have heard horror stories from many, many victims here - most of them having disabilities and/or medical conditions and had been grossly taken advantage of - many of them US Veterans.

The problem with these moving signs is they are a distraction to drivers and are banned in many states. We appreciate the church may want to call attention to whatever, but an ongoing vehicle *may* get distracted while trying to read them and crash.

Metro Government (and Metrocall 311) has ignored pleas for help on this despite many requests to get these signs into spec.

HFF!

"Stick Saturday" at Seneca Park, Louisville, KY

It is so hard to get local communities here involved in recycling. Yet they wonder why there is no local seafood available here and wonder why there are fish and swim advisories posted Statewide in Kentucky. It's just gonna take time. Hopefully in my lifetime.

Coho was one of the 30,000 pets who died in the massive pet food recall in 2007 that killed over 30,000 pets and companion animals - read about it here - twotabbycats.blogspot.com/

I was doing a backbend to get the window behind me.

Jour 2 guerre coronavirus.

Tuesday, May 3rd through Thursday, May 5th - 7AM - 9AM

They do have a buffet breakfast there upstairs however we do enjoy going trackside (admission free) once a year and just watch the Derby and Oaks horses do their morning workouts - in my opinion it is the best way to see these incredible horses and you can't beat the price (it's free). They do have breakfast sandwiches available (they're very good) down by the paddock as well. It really is the best way to get the true flavor of the upcoming Oaks (Friday) and The Kentucky Derby this Saturday (without having to buy a dress, shoes and a hat). The jockeys also give you wonderful photo ops - this is my most favorite part of Derby Week (especially if you're crowd-shy). If you're betting you get a better look at who the best bets are! And it's dress casual.

This American flag has been shredded for at least a year. It stands in front of the Frazier Sports Rehab Institute, KentuckyOne Health, Medical Center Jewish Northeast, and the U of L James Graham Brown Cancer Center.

This facility was at one point under consideration to become Louisville's newest VA Hospital. For some reason, Brownsboro Road was chosen. One would think this facility would have had the courtesy to at least maintain the flag it flies at its entranceway. I do know they were made aware of it but chose to ignore it.

Examining the Effectiveness of Biologicals Against Downy Mildew in Grapes www.growingproduce.com/fruits/grapes/examining-the-effect...

Downy mildew is a challenge for all grape growers, especially on the East Coast where the disease can strike when conditions are wet, particularly when rains occur with temperatures ranging from the 60s to low 80s (°F). The pathogen for downy mildew can spread rapidly. It takes only four to six days from one round of infection until a second-generation of spores develops and new infections occur. This pathogen is one that all Vitis vinifera cultivars are highly susceptible to, as are certain hybrid and native cultivars.

“Susceptible cultivars require some sort of a spray program in Eastern climates,” says Wayne Wilcox, Professor of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology at Cornell University. “The required intensity of the spray program is determined by the cultivar’s inherent level of susceptibility, weather conditions during the growing season, and the degree to which effective cultural practices are used.”

While sustainability has become a major push among winegrape growing regions out West, it’s only natural to see how their Eastern compatriots would be interested in pursuing similar goals. Growers and Cornell Cooperative Extension developed a voluntary self-assessment sustainability program called VineBalance.

On Long Island, this has been expanded to a program where growers use a third-party inspector to verify that the vineyard meets the program requirements. So, using more sustainable disease control products is a natural necessity. The trouble is, with wet growing conditions and the high probability of downy mildew, this can be a challenge for growers to achieve.

“Effective biocontrol products certainly fit within any sustainability push, since they help to promote the goals. But since one of the pillars of sustainability is ‘economic,’ the products must be effective,” he says. “Because the choice of effective biocontrol materials is rather limited, we’re always looking for something else to supplement what’s available now. Beyond that, a lot of growers would like to be as “green” as they can while still protecting their crop effectively, whether they are part of a formal ‘sustainable’ program or not.”

Studying Biologicals for Control

Wilcox has been working with several biological products to study their effectiveness against downy mildew. This includes LifeGard WG, distributed by Certis. Wilcox studied the use of Lifeguard on ‘Chardonnay,’ a highly-susceptible Vitis vinifera cultivar.

He compared the results of the vines treated with LifeGard to untreated vines and vines treated with conventional materials. Although he got excellent results in the first year of studying, Wilcox accidentally used a higher application rate of LifeGard. But, in the second year of the study and with the right application rate, Wilcox still saw excellent results.

“Disease pressure was almost as high in 2015, and LifeGard again provided control comparable to the best conventional materials, using the correct rate this time,” he says. “We had a drought in 2016 with very little downy mildew developing, so the results from last year didn’t tell us much.”

Expanding the Scope

This year, Wilcox will be looking at the efficacy of several biological products against downy mildew, powdery mildew, Botrytis bunch rot, and sour rot. His research will again include LifeGard’s effectiveness against downy mildew. He says the mechanism that is claimed to provide LifeGard’s activity is a promotion of the plant’s natural resistance to diseases, so he’s also looking to expand the research to examine LifeGard’s efficacy against other grape diseases.

An important difference, Wilcox says, between his trials and application to a typical commercial vineyard is he targets the most susceptible cultivars and high inoculum pressure.

“This does allow us to distinguish between stronger and less-strong materials. However, some of the ‘weaker’ materials look worse than they would in many commercial settings where inoculum carryover from one year to the next is relatively low and there are no unsprayed vines scattered throughout the vineyard from which disease can easily spread.”

What Else Can Growers Do

Wilcox suggests growers be mindful about site selection and canopy management as non-chemical ways to help control disease. He suggests management practices that promote drying of fruit and foliage can help reduce disease pressure.

For those growers interested in sustainability, Wilcox says there are a few newer biological products that look promising, in addition to some of the greener conventional options. He also says that sustainable and organic approaches should view sprays as supplementing cultural control practices. But, above all he says growers, especially organic winegrape growers, should consider the susceptibility of cultivars prior to planting. “There’s not a lot of meaningful difference among cultivars if they are committed to growing vinifera grapes, but there are huge differences among hybrids and natives,” he says. “If some of the relatively resistant cultivars in these groups will suit the business plan, this is the first, and often most effective,

“There’s not a lot of meaningful difference among cultivars if they are committed to growing vinifera grapes, but there are huge differences among hybrids and natives,” he says. “If some of the relatively resistant cultivars in these groups will suit the business plan, this is the first, and often most effective, line of defense.”

Máscaras de Diablos de Juxtlahuaca, Oaxaca.

Desde la región Mixteca los habitantes de Santiago Juxtlahuaca y su Danza de los Rubios, visten tradicionales atavíos y portando máscaras que los han identificado desde el Siglo XVIII, hasta constituirse en su tradición y legado. La Chivarra, chicote y espuelas del atuendo masculino del

traje del Diablo, la María Lencha, el Alvarado, el Margarito, el Caporal, bailan al compás de la

danza entre colores y música, reflejo de la riqueza cultura de la Mixteca.

La madera de Sabino, agua cola, blanco de España, pintura al óleo, esmaltes, barníz, ojos de vidrio,

Dientes Naturales de Animales, pestañas y cuernos Naturales de Toro, Chivo o Venado, son alguno de los elementos que dan origen a la creatividad y Formas Fantásticas de sus Máscaras. Los Artesanos de máscaras labran una tradición que hombres y mujeres de Juxtlahuaca, aportan como

herencia al mundo entero. Orgullo de Oaxaca.

Yet in almost 20 years neither Jefferson County nor Oldham County enforces this. Not in Kentucky, USA. More particulate, anyone? It's actually quite comical considering the glut of black vehicles & opaque tinted windows in the area - more paying customers for the local car wash, cancer centers, ENTs, eye doctors, windshield companies and drug stores. Decreased productivity in the remaining workforce. Kentucky taxpayers pay the legislative & executive branch of this government over $1 Million USD each for their "lifetime" of *service* plus paying local and State taxes, local and state officials and enforcement agencies, yet in their lifetime not one thing has changed. People, wildlife, and the environment are suffering the same fate here as they did a lifetime ago. Why are all of the above still getting paid millions for *jobs* and work they never did? Welcome to Kentucky, USA, aka "Little New Jersey".

It would take ONE person - ONE - to be at the exits of these quarries and gravel pits to ensure *all* trucks were tarped prior to leaving the area. If that is beyond their budget, how about a BIG SIGN?

Respiratory ailments, lung cancer, cataracts, and COPD are a way of life here.

Spider spotted yesterday afternoon with a small amount of gnats captured closer to the center of the web. Although rather sparse, spider appeared somewhat content with what was gathered this day. Not sure what spider was planning on catching but I do believe spider was banking on something much greater than these tiny gnats as the tensile strength of this web could probably have snagged my dog, Pancake. Perhaps that's the plan?

Darwin's bark spider (scientific name Caerostris darwini) is an orb-weaver spider that produces one of the largest known orb webs, ranging from 900 to 28,000 square centimetres (140 to 4,340 sq in),[2][3] with anchor lines spanning up to 25 metres (82 ft). The spider was discovered in Madagascar in the Andasibe-Mantadia National Park in 2009.[4] Its silk is the toughest biological material ever studied, over ten times tougher than a similarly-sized piece of Kevlar.[5] The species was named in honour of the naturalist Charles Darwin, with the description being prepared precisely 150 years after the publication of The Origin of Species, on 24 November 2009.[2 ] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin%27s_bark_spider
