BETHEL—There’s a lot ofhis-tory in the Bethel HistoricalMuseum.

Literally.Frank Manning, former Be-

thel Historical Society chair-man, used to scour villagewidejunk days for artifacts of his-torical significance.

He would put anything hefound in the society’s museumon the first floor of the GrantMemorial Building, 100 S. MainSt.

There’s a Boss washing ma-chine, donated from DaveDietz, whose grandfather in-vented the machine. Dietz wasthe lastmember of his family toown Dietz Furniture Co. in Be-thel.

The store closed down about

five years ago, according to Ju-di Adams, historical societypresident.

“They were very prominentpeople in Bethel,” she said.

There’s also an old broom-making machine and a woodenlogwhich functioned as awatermain many years ago.

Then there is amilitary jack-et worn by Manning’s grandfa-ther in the civil war.

“That piece of history start-ed what soon became our mili-tary room,” Adams said.

“We have one room that isdedicated just to the military.We have uniforms from everybranch of the military backfrom the civil war and on.”

Some of the museum’s itemswere found at junk days, butthis isn’t junk. It’s history ofwhat Bethel once was and whatit has become.

“Only a few things werefound at junk days. Everythingelse has been donated by familymembers and is very cher-ished,” Adams said.

WaltCarter, formermuseumcaretaker, told members of theBethel Business Association re-cently the society was formedin 1972.

“We really had no facilities,just a small room downstairs,”Carter said.

“We tried to collect some ar-tifacts, but in the late ’80s itkindof fizzled out.”

Now, there is a chance thatcould happen again.

Adams took over the societyfrom Manning and Carter re-cently,underscoring its tenuoussituation.

Bethel Historical Society’slong-term future in doubtBy Keith [email protected]

BETHEL — The proposed 1-mill police communications tax-hike issue on the May 6 ballot isexpected to raise taxes for ev-eryone inBethel if it is approvedby voters, according to Cler-mont County Chief Deputy Au-ditor Chuck Tilbury.

“I can’t see where anyone isnot going to get an increase insomemanner,” Tilbury said.

If the tax-hike issue passes itwill pay for virtually all of thevillage’s 911 fees.

The current police communi-cations levy, which was ap-proved by voters in 1984, gener-ates $12,877. The levy is used topay911fees to thecountyfordis-patch services.

The county charged Bethel$31,695 last year — more thandouble what the levy generates.

When the levy was first dis-cussed at a special Jan. 30 Vil-lage Council meeting, officialsdiscussedwhyitwasneededandwhat the money would be usedfor, but shied away from statingthe impact it would have on tax-es.

Council member PriscillaJohnson directly asked FiscalOfficer Bill Gilpin if the levywould cost residents more mon-ey.

Gilpin responded: “It could(raise taxes) depending on

where you live and how the val-ue of your house has changed inthe last 30 years and at whattime the house was built.”

Hecontinuedbysayingitwasdifficult to answerwithout look-ing at homeowners on a case-by-case basis. Then he said taxescould go down for some people.

“For some people it could ac-tually go down, some people itwill stay the sameandsomepeo-ple it will go up. It just dependsonwhere you’re at in that valua-tion cycle,” Gilpin said.

According to the ClermontCounty Auditor’s Office:

If the levy is approved it willcost owners of a home with amarket value of $50,000 at least$17more per year, while ownersof a $100,000 home will pay anadditional $35per year andown-ers of a homewith amarket val-ue of $150,000 will pay an extra$52.50 per year.

KathyKirkman, aBethel res-

ident, plans to vote against thetax-hike issue inMay.

The “911 (service) helps butit’skindof likeaCatch-22,”Kirk-man said.

“A lot of people are havingproblems around here. (Villageofficials are) more thinkingabout how it’s going to help, butthey have to considerwho it willhurt.”

Russell Beckelhymer, a Be-thel resident, said a majority ofpeoplewho live in thevillageare

on fixed income or governmentsubsidies.

“If the village would managetheir resources better theywould be fine,” Beckelhymersaid.

Village Council voted lastyear to give council membersand the mayor a raise.

In 2014, village officials willspendabout $16,400more of tax-payers’ money on salary forcouncilmembers and themayorthan they did in 2013.

Council alsovoted lastyear togive all village employees araise. That will cost taxpayersalmost$8,000ofextrasalaries in2014.

“People need to be paid fortheir labor, but not at the ex-pense of individuals in the vil-lage,” Beckelhymer said.

Officials also raised waterrates by 25 percent recently andvoted to eliminate discounts forelectric usage, effectively rais-ing electric rates as well.

BATAVIA — A dam re-moval project that hadbeen postponed is nowback on the table.

Batavia Village Coun-cil in 2012 dropped theproposal to remove a low-headdamontheEastForkof the Little Miami Riverbecause they did not wantto assume any liabilityfrom the project, either inthe immediate dam area,just south of the WestMain Street bridge, or inthe watershed.

In the original propos-al, the Metropolitan Sew-er District had agreed tosponsor the project and

accept a state grant to payfor the dam’s removal.But agrant agreementbe-tween the sewer districtand Batavia had the vil-lage taking responsibilityfor what could happen be-causeof thedamremoval.

Batavia AdministratorDennis Nichols said thatagreement had thevillage“guarantee everybodyupstream and down, andessentially the villagesaid no.”

“Wedidnot agree toac-cept liability for anyoneelse, and that’s why it fellapart,” he said.

The dam and a pumphouse were built near theMain Street bridge in the1940s to provide the vil-

lage with a water supply.The village now gets itswater though the countysystem and the dam andpump house are no longerused.

Recently the ValleyView Foundation, a con-servation group thatman-ages a nature preserveand education center inMilford, has agreed tomanage the project to re-move the dam with theClermont County Soil andWater Conservation Dis-trict and assume some li-abilities.

“The first time therewere too many concernsnot being answered forthe village,” said VanessaHannah, executive direc-tor for the Valley ViewFoundation.

“We agreed to be theholder of and implementthe environmental cove-nant, and we will be as-suming some liabilities.”

Nichols said, “Councilhas takenthepositioncon-sistently in favor of ac-commodating the re-quest, but it’s not a priori-ty.”

He added that councilwould not spendmoney toremove the dam nor as-sume liability for anydamage in the watershed.

A $700,000 grant fromthe Ohio EnvironmentalProtection Agency would

pay for the project, andBatavia Village Councilstillhastovotetogiveper-mission to theValleyViewFoundation and the coun-ty soil and water districtto complete the dam re-moval.

Becky McClatchey,watershed coordinatorfor the district, said thisdam removal is part of alarger restoration andprotection plan.

“Because it’s no longerbeing used it’s degradingthe river habitat. Whenyou remove a structurelike that it results inan im-mediate improvement to

the habitat,” she said.It would also remove a

safety hazard and makethis area of the East Forkof the Little Miami Riversafer.

“One of the primaryreasons communities re-move dams is becausethey’re a danger—somepeople have been trappedin the river and they’redubbed drowning ma-chines because of the hy-draulics,” McClatcheysaid.

“When you removethem you take away thatpublic hazard andprovidesafer recreational oppor-

tunities.”Hannah said they’re

still in the early stagesand this year is primarilyfor planning and organiz-ing the project, as well aseducating the communityabout the plan.

They expect to havepublicmeetings about theproposal in May.

“(Removing the dam)will do a lot of terrificthings for the communityas well as the waterway,”she said.

“It is something thatwould enhance and bene-fit all the citizens.”

health problems — as areother active members.

“We have quite a fewmembers ... but the offi-cers and active membersare getting elderly andhaving health issues sothey aren’t able to do it,”Adams said.

The society met threetimes last year because itdidn’t have enough partic-ipating members to con-duct more official meet-ings, she said.

Carter is no longer in-

volved in the society ei-ther, although not forhealth reasons.

“I decided it was timeto leavethehistoricalsoci-ety. Things happened be-tween them and the vil-lage. It’s really a sore spotwith me,” he said, declin-ing to comment further.

Adams envisions a mu-seum that takes up the en-tire downstairs of the me-morial building. Rightnow, there isn’t enoughroom for everything thesociety has collected.

There are more than3,000 items in the mu-seum,whichmeanssever-al artifacts lay on the

ground with no real orderor purpose.

Village officials ap-plied for a grant to fund amove to the memorial’sfront room. One costlyfactor is additional bath-rooms would need to beadded.

“The village loves theidea, butwedon’t have themoney. That would costthousands of dollars,” Ad-ams said.

“We need $50,000 butI’d be happywith a bucketof paint.”

Themuseum is open onthefirstSaturdayofeverymonth from1 to 4 p.m. It’salso open by appointment.

The Bethel Historical Museum at the Grant Memorial Building is open, but for how long?Active members of the Bethel Historical Society are struggling with health issues andthere’s a chance the village could lose some of its most precious history. KEITHBIERYGOLICK/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

GOSHEN — Practicinggoodfiresafety isn’t justaworthwhile habit, it cansave your home.

Just ask one of thethree families in Owens-ville, Stonelick Townshipand Goshen Township

that are homeless, at leasttemporarily, because offires that could have beenprevented.

That’s because whentemperatures drop, someresidents turn to spaceheaters and other heatingdevices to stay warm.

Butofficialsaresayingthat can be dangerous if

they aren’t used properly,and three recent Cler-mont County fires onlyfurther prove that point.

It startedwith a fire onstate Route 131 nearChestnut View Lane Jan.25.

Noonewas injured,butthe house could not be sal-vaged after suffering

$275,000 of damage, saidStonelick Township FireChief Matt Rose.

The fire started from aheater left on the backporch to keep the home-owner’s donkey warm.The device fell over intothe hay, sparking a firethat would engulf the en-tire home.

“We really couldn’tmake entry due to equip-ment freezing up. Wecouldn’t send guys in tothe breath the toxicfumes,” Rose said.

The very next daycrews responded to a fireon 129 E. Main St. in Ow-ensville that was causedby a space heater left tooclose to a blanket.

Noonewas injuredandthe house wasn’t com-pletely destroyed, but themother and three chil-dren won’t be able to livein it for awhile, Rose said.

The next day anotherfire destroyed a home inthe Lakeshore EstatesMobile Home park on1785 state Route 28 in Go-shen.

“The fire investigationdetermined it appears(the homeowner) had acouplecandlesburningonthe coffee table. He hadsomefoodon the tableand

it appears a dog jumpedup to get the food andknocked the table over,”said Goshen Fire ChiefSteve Pegram.

Those three back-to-back fires could havebeen prevented, and resi-dents can learn fromthem, Pegram said.

“We’ve seen a hugespike in fires caused bycandles. People leavethemunattended and petsknock themover.Wewantto remind people the bestkindof candles arekept inmetal or glass containers,that way they can’t fall onsomething,” the chiefsaid, stressing again tonever leave candles unat-tended.

The other lesson re-lates to the brutally coldwinter, which residentscan help firefighters withbyclearingtheirhydrantsof snow and keeping theirdriveways free of ice.

Rash of home-wrecking fires preventableBy Keith [email protected]

First responders fight a fire at the Lakeshore EstatesMobile Home Park in Goshen. No one was injured, but adog died in the fire and the home can’t be salvaged.Several recent fires in Clermont County can be attributedto common causes that officials say are preventable. THANKSTO STEVE PEGRAM

BATAVIA — Winners get towrite the histories.

The University of CincinnatiClermont College women’s bas-ketball team created school his-tory with its first-ever nationaltitle. The Cougars knocked offtop-seeded Central Maine 69-51in the U.S. Collegiate AthleticAssociation National Champi-onship March 8.

Stacie Lee (Lakota West)lived up to her All-America bill-ingwithwith20pointsand14re-bounds in the finals. Fellow All-American Ashley Keith (ClarkMontessori) scored 18 pointsand grabbed seven rebounds.Dana Finney (Lockland) added10 points.

A slate of celebrations is ontap. The first was an on-campusrecognition ceremony primari-ly for the student body March14, but appearances at aBataviaTownship trustees meeting, theOhio statehouse and more willfollow.

“I told the girls they’re nowrockstars,whether theywant tobeornot,” saidheadcoachMikeMatthews, a Milford resident.“It’s unbelievable. I’m still notsure if it’s hit us yet.”

Keith agreed.“It kind of feels surreal,” she

said. “From playing in the tour-

nament last yearwe felt likewecould do it, but actually gettingit done is amazing. It means allthe hard work paid off.”

The victory created an indel-ible memory for Lee.

“It’s something I’ll alwayswant to relive, but never get torelive,” she said, wearing hernational championship hoodie.“We actually got to start some-thinghere.Hopefully thefutureplayers will look at us and keepon winning.”

Both Keith and Lee have 3-year-old sons named Jordan.Keith’s boy made the trip with

mommy to the tournament andwon fan-of-the-game honors intwo of the three contest.

Matthews said his team em-braced the family concept.

“It’s not how good you are orhow much talent you have, butit’s the best team,” Matthewssaid. “These girls have been anexcellent team all year. (I start-ed to thinkwe couldwin) inmidJanuary. We lost our starting(small forward) and our start-ing point guard to injury. Butother girls stepped in, steppedup. We started to realize what

our potential was.”Caitlynn Distler missed be-

ing part of a team. She didn’tplay basketball her junior orsenior year atMilford, butwentout for the Cougars and was onthe floor when the buzzersounded in the finals.

“I kind of knew (we hadwon)by then,” she said. “Everyonejust kind of came out on thefloor andwewere all over. I justremember seeing Stacie andAshley hugging. Just seeing usbond together through the sea-son (was the best part).”

Jessie Brenes said adjustingfrom hoops at Glen Este HighSchool to thecollegegamewasabig step, but she wouldn’t havewanted to do it with any othergroup.

“Just being able to say I amon the first team to do this, itfeels awesome,” she said. “Es-pecially with these girls. Thebest part of it is just knowingwe’ll always be the first. No-body can take that away fromus. Everybody after us is tryingto be like us.”

FELICITY—Just in timefor March Madness,many of Felicity-FranklinHigh School’s boys bas-ketball team were possi-blyalreadymad.Afterall,their season didn’t reachMarch.

The Cardinals demisecame hard in the DivisionIII sectional tournamentFeb. 26 against a 20-winClark Montessori team.Realistically, when youcome into a game with 18less wins than your oppo-nent, a lot of things mustgo right.

On this night at West-

ern Brown, they didn’t.The Cardinals took it

on the chin, 85-20.“It was a good team,”

coach Bobby Sandkersaid. “Not takinganythingaway from Clark, butwe’re a better team. Wedidn’t play like weshould.”

Sandker is a1998 Felic-ity-Franklin graduatewho would like to get theCardinals back to the re-spectable records theyhadwhenheplayed. Inhisjunior and senior seasons,the Cardinals were 15-6and 14-7.

“The program as awhole is going through arebuilding stage,” Sandk-

er said. “We’re trying toget it back to where itshouldbe.Thekids’mindsis the toughest thing tochange.”

Twenty losses is toughfor anyone to endure. OnJan. 4, after a 62-48 winover Bethel-Tate, the Car-dinals were 2-8. Fromthere, they lost the re-maining 12 games eventhough there were closecalls with Blanchesterand Williamsburg alongthe way.

Obviously, it was a try-ing season.

“This whole year hasbeen,” Sandker said.“We’ll work hard thissummer and come backbetter. We have to abideby the summer rules, butwe get them in asmuch aspossible.”

Felicity-Franklin losesjust two seniors in guardsDillon Utter and TrendonYoung. Junior Jordan Ut-ter was the Cardinals topscorer and made first-team Southern Buckeye

Conference. Six-foot-three junior Trevor Bar-rons made second teamand junior guard LouisQuiles had some produc-tive games.

“He’s learning thepoint,” Sandker said. “Hestruggled with it early inthe year but he’s gettingbetter at being the gener-al on the court.”

As far as Sandker’sconcerned, the only direc-tion is up and he’d like togethisguyson the level ofthe neighboring G-Men.

“You’re always lookingat the top,” Sandker said.“Georgetown’s got a goodprogram.”

Todo that, it’ll takea lotof dedication, open gyms,hallway recruiting andsalesmanship. Sandker’salready been on the prowllooking for young menthat need to duck throughdoorways.

“Weactuallyhavea tallkid (6-foot-8) in our schooland I did everything Icould to try to get him to

play,” Sandker said.“Hopefully, we’ll get himout next year.”

Patience is also key forthe young coach who paidhis dues coaching sev-enth-gradeandjuniorvar-sitybeforegettingacrackat leading his almamater.

“I hate coming in likethis but I also love comingin like this,” Sandker said.“I hate it because ofwhere the program’s at,but I love it because I getto change it.”

Medicare patrol helps protect senior citizensIn my last column, I men-

tioned Pro Seniors and theOmbudsman Program thatorganization provides in theGreater Cincinnati community.In talking with them, I wasreminded of another greatprogram they offer, the SeniorMedicare Patrol Project (SMP).

In 2002, Pro Seniors was therecipient of a federal grantfrom the Administration onAging to provide education andoutreach to seniors, their care-givers and the public aboutMedicare fraud, waste andabuse through the Senior Medi-care Patrol Project (SMP).

Anne Fredrickson, projectmanager for the Ohio SMP atPro Seniors, shared that in itsearly years, the Ohio SMP cov-ered only the counties of Cler-

mont, Butler,Clinton, Hamil-ton andWar-ren counties.Over time, theOhio SMPevolved tocover alleighty eightcountiesthroughoutOhio. “TheOhio SMP at

Pro Seniors is one of 54 SMP’snationwide.”

Fredrickson also reportedthat one SMP exists in everystate, the Islands and the Dis-trict of Columbia and that themission of the SMP is to pre-vent, detect, and report healthcare fraud. “Not only does theOhio SMP support its mission

of protecting older adults, theyalso preserve the integrity oftheMedicare andMedicaidprograms.”

Because face-to-face contactis most effective, the Ohio SMPrelies on many volunteers tohelp in this effort. The projectcontinuously trains new volun-teers to assist with the missionof fightingMedicare andMedi-caid fraud.

New volunteers are re-quired to participate in an all-day training conducted byexperts who understand andenforce healthcare fraud.Trainers also explain the wayvolunteers contribute to thatmission of curtailingMedicareandMedicaid fraud.

Aspects of volunteer respon-sibilities include conducting

presentation, as well as supply-ing and exhibiting SMPmateri-als with messages about fight-ingMedicare fraud at healthfairs, senior expos and eventsthroughout the state. Volun-teers also counsel beneficiarieson strategies for spotting fraudon aMedicare Summary Notice(MSN).

Additionally, the Ohio SMPteachesMedicare beneficiarieshow to protect their personalidentity, report errors on theirMSN’s and identify deceptivehealth care practices, such asillegal marketing, providingunnecessary or inappropriateservices and charging for ser-vices that were never provided.

Some examples of fraud andwaste identified by SMP volun-teers include equipment or

insurance plan providers trick-ing senior center participantsinto revealing personal in-formation (includingMedicarenumbers) on “sign-in” sheets,MSN’s showing billing for ser-vices or supplies that werenever provided, and equipmentsuppliers providing expensive“scooter” wheelchairs not or-dered by a physician or neededby the beneficiary.

If you are interested in vol-unteering for the Ohio SMP atPro Seniors, or would like moreinformation about Medicarefraud, you can contact ProSeniors at 345-4160 or800-488-6070.

In today’s media frenzyworld, people are bombardedwith conflicting informationfrom various sources onwhat to eat to stay healthyand control their weight.

To start, remember thatall food preferences andeating habits are learned. Ittakes several exposures to anew food to learn to like it.

The following informationwill offer simple guidelinesto "not just eat, but eatRIGHT!"

A key to eating well is toavoid becoming to hungry.When you become hungry,the concern of choosing ahealthy food is minimized.The focus shifts to the elim-ination of the uncomfortablefeeling of hunger.

Here are some simple andno cost recommendationsthat will lead to developing ahealthy diet and permanentweight management.

» Eat five times daily. Ifyou are not hungry in themorning, you have consumedtoo many calories the nightbefore. Divide the caloriesevenly throughout the day.

» Include a protein food ateach meal or snack. Exam-ples of protein foods includestring cheese, yogurt, eggs,turkey, peanut butter, tunaand sunflower seeds

»Make half your plateveggies and fruit.

» Include three foods eachfrom a different food groupfor each meal or snack. Thisencourages variety and im-proves the quality of yourdiet.

» Limit sugar intake. Readlabels to check the amount ofsugar in foods. The sugarcontent is high many cerealbars, fruit roll up, cookies,cake, donuts, and breakfaststrudels. Sugar will stim-ulate your appetite.

» Switch to whole grainproducts and limit refinedwhite flour.

»Drink low fat milk be-fore a meal to decrease yourappetite. It can take 15 to 20minutes to feel satisfied onceyou eat or drink. Eat slowly;taking sips of water between

bites of food.» Avoid

drinks thatcontain a lotof sugar.These includejuice, fruitpunch, pop,sport drinks.Drink water.

» Choosefoods in theirnatural state.

Instead of potato chips orFrench fries consume abaked potato.

» Limit the extra fat add-ed to food. One suggestion issprinkle Parmesan cheese onbroccoli instead of a cheesesauce.

»Use a cooking sprayinstead of oil to grease thepans

Many people need sugges-tions on how to change theirbehavior when dealing witheating foods.

Below are some sugges-tions:

»Use a smaller plate. Thiswill help portion control.

»Never eat when watch-ing TV, working on the com-puter, talking on the phone.

» Always be seated wheneating.

Becoming more active isan important component ofbeing healthy. Establishgoals that you can achieve.

Consider getting a friendto join in the challenge andset goals. Start with threedays per week for 20 to 30minutes and increase thenumber of days and dura-tion.

As physical activity be-comes part of your dailyroutine, it will help reduceyour appetite, release yourstress, create a strongerheart and decrease risk ofosteoporosis. You will alsohave more energy.

Enjoy food and the experi-ence, but remember thatwhen you eat, MODERA-TION is key!

Ann Rooney is an outpatient dieti-cian for Cincinnati Children’sHospital Medical Center and is anactive member of CAN.

Enjoy your food,but moderationis definitely key

Last week’s questionDo you agree with the tactics

recently used by Greenpeace ac-tivists at Procter & Gamble Co.headquarters in Downtown Cin-cinnati? Why or why not?

“To me the actions of Green-peace puts them in the sameleague as the Ku Klux Klan.”

R.V.

“I do not agree with destruc-tion of property without provo-cation. The Greenpeace organi-zation sometimes goes too far inits support of the environmentaland animal rights' causes.

“Breaking windows or de-stroyingpropertyfor thesakeofaprotest justbringsattentionbythemedia to the lawbreakers in-stead of the issue. This was amistakebytheprotestersandal-lows them to be lumped in withhippies, draft-dodgers, and oth-er counter-cultural groups whomost Americans don't under-stand.”

T.J.P.

“Absolutely I agree withGreenpeace activists hangingbanners at Procter & Gamble

As I write this column,I can see the field beyondour vegetable gardensowed with winter rye.After it sprouted, it

stayednestledunder ablanket ofsnow untilrecently. Itlooks like apale greencarpet.Seeing newgrowth atthis time ofyear just

gives me a bright outlookonmy day. My cooking isstarting to reflect thechange of season, too. I’mthinking way ahead withlighter fare and fun sidesand desserts to share forspring.

AmbrosiaI can remember exact-

ly when I first tasted thisheavenly side dish thatgoes so well with Easterham.We were newlymarried and took a week-end trip to Gatlinburg.One of the restaurantsfeatured ambrosia. I hadno idea what it was but itsounded so intriguingthat I ordered it. Thewaiter explained that itwas a Southern side dishmade with fruit andcream. I was too shy toask anymore about it,and when it arrived at our

table I thought hebrought me somebodyelse’s dessert. Since thenI’ve made it many times.My current favorite isthis recipe that I adaptedfromAlton Brown.3⁄4 cup whipping cream1generous tablespoonsugar

1⁄2 cup sour cream or bitmore to taste

3 cups mini marshmallows1 cup tangerine segments,cut into halves

1 cup pineapple tidbits,drained

1 cup coconut1 cup pecans, toasted andchopped coarsely

3⁄4 to 1 cup drainedmaraschino cherry halves

Whip cream and sugaruntil soft peaks form.Blend in sour cream andthen stir in everythingelse. Chill in refrigeratora couple hours beforeserving.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

You can subMandarinorange segments,drained, for the freshtangerines.

Donna Goulet’s 7-Upcake

I’ve had this recipe inmy file since last summerfromDonna and waswaiting for the right timeto share it. Donna has hadthis recipe for a long time

– she cut it out of thenewspaper. Donna said:“It is delicious. AWest-sider all my life untilrecently wemoved toErlanger, Ky. Really en-joy your column and lookforward to it everyweek.” Well, Donna, Ienjoy sharing reader’srecipes and this one was abig hit. So nice for spring-time entertaining. Itstayedmoist, covered, atroom temperature forseveral days. The onlything I did different isthat I made a simpleglaze instead of makingthe frosting that Donnasuggests. If youmake herfrosting, I would store the

cake in the frig.

It’s a problem that’splagued the Tristate foryears – sewers backingup into area homes. Sev-eral years ago a federalcourt ordered the Cincin-nati Metropolitan SewerDistrict to pay to clean upsewer back-up damage,but that hasn’t solved theproblem everywhere.

Sewer backups canoccur just about every-where and they can notonly damage your base-ment, but your belong-ings as well. Unless youprotect yourself, youcould be stuck with hugecleanup bills. That’s whathappened to Karla Kra-mer after a sewer backupat her Alexandria homelate last year.

“Wecame hometo a weirdsmell andwent down-stairs andnoticedsome pud-dles,” Kra-mer said.That’swhen Kra-

mer and her husband,Daniel, founded theirbasement was floodedwith several inches ofsewer water.

“The water was actu-ally gushing up throughthe sewer,” she said. Aplumber was soon able todetermine their sewerline to the street wasclear; it was the sanita-

tion district’s main linethat was clogged up.“There were deep treeroots that had grownthrough the lines,” Kra-mer said.

In addition to replac-ing the tile on the base-ment floor, as well as thecarpet, the Kramers hadto replace drywall be-cause everything wasdamaged by that sewerwater. Northern Ken-tucky Sanitation DistrictNo. 1, known as SD-1,came out and fixed thesewer line, but won’t payfor the Kramers’ damage.

“They came out andsaid, ‘Yes, it was definite-ly their fault,’ but sincethey didn’t actually know(the blockage) was there

they were not at fault,”Kramer said. Fortunately,the Kramers have sewerbackup insurance as partof their homeowner’scoverage. But they onlyhad $5,000 coverage andthe damage to their homeand belongings exceeded$12,000.

SD-1Director DaveRager said that whilesuch backups are un-fortunate, they do hap-pen.

“It is not uncommonthat it happens in oursystem.We try to keep upwith the system but theydo happen. That’s part ofthe reason why somanyutilities are owned by thegovernment, the chal-lenge of maintaining

systems like this,” Ragersaid.

Rager said the sewerdistrict will be checkingthe lines in Kramers’neighborhood every sixmonths to make sure theyremain clear. Unlike theCincinnati MetropolitanSewer District, SD-1’sfederal court decreedoesn’t require it to payfor undetected sewer lineproblems.

“We have 700miles oflines. That’s almostenough to go from coastto coast,” Rager said.

The Kramers havenow increased their sew-er back-up insurance andthis is something allhomeowners should con-sider – especially those

with a finished basement.In addition, those whorent homes should checktheir renter’s insurancepolicy.

A Forest Parkmansaid although he has rent-er’s insurance, his policydidn’t cover the recentsewer back-up damage tohis belongings. So, be-cause many renters’ pol-icies don’t automaticallyinclude sewer back-upcoverage, you need to askfor this protection.

Howard Ain’s column appearsbi-weekly in the CommunityPress newspapers. He ap-pears regularly as the Trou-bleshooter on WKRC-TVLocal 12 News. Email him [email protected].

Make sure homeowner’s, renter’sinsurance has sewer-back-up coverage

Howdy Folks;We have a new alarm

I had gone back tosleep so he came in to thebed and got right bymyear andmeowed realloud! Then he laid on thebed to see that I got up!

People say animals aredumb, but that is not so,they seem to be smarterthan we are on somethings; at least he is! Lastweek one day when I tooka shower I told Ruth Annto keep Chester in thebathroom and shut thedoor.

When I got the waterjust right I held Chesterand got himwet, he wasnot a happy cat for awhile, then he got better,and seemed to enjoy it.

Last week we cleanedone of our freezers; itshould have been doneearlier. We had frozenitems in it from yearsback that had gottendown in the bottom. Wehave somemore to clean,so that will take time onanother day.

I was looking at one ofour raised beds and Ithink I can plant potatoesnext Monday (St. PatricksDay). I was talking toDanny Grant and he hasonion sets, now, so we willget some today after Italk to the seniors at theAdult Day Center.

I was talking toMikeat the Boars Head BaitShop and he said folkswere ready to go fishing,he was selling lots of bait.He said the rampwasopen on the north side of

the lake,but thecoves stillhad ice inthem atthis writ-ing.
