Speed hump requested on Paxton Ave.HYDEPARK—Arequest to in-

stall a speed hump on PaxtonAvenue has generated somecontroversy.

Supporters of the speedhump say it will reduce exces-sive speed along Paxton Ave-nue. Opponents, though, say aspeed humpwill actually createa more dangerous situation.

The Hyde Park CommunityCouncil in cooperation with theMt. Lookout Community Coun-cil will have a public meeting 7p.m. Thursday, March 20, atKnox Presbyterian Church,3400 Michigan Ave.

Michael Moore, director ofCincinnati Transportation andEngineering, said residents onPaxton Avenue between AlpineTerrace and Linwood Avenue,hadpetitioned fora speedhumpto reduce speeds and reducecut-through traffic.

Moore said generally morethan one speed hump is in-

stalled to help re-duce speeds.However, the in-cline along Pax-ton Avenue hascreated some is-sues.

“Typically, wedon’t installspeed humps on

hillswith a grade greater than 7percent,” said Moore.

According to Moore, thegradeonmostofPaxtonAvenueis between 10 and 12 percent.

However, two locations onPaxton Avenue, one near Pine-ridge Avenue and another nearKinmont Street, are flat enoughthat they could accommodatespeed humps.

The city had conducted apostcard survey of residentsnear the proposed locations. Al-though the survey indicatedsupport for the speed humps, anumber of residents have ex-pressed their opposition.

Apublicmeetinghasbeenar-ranged for residents toweigh in

on thematterandaskquestions.Hyde Park Neighborhood

Council boardmemberCarlUe-belacker said a city traffic engi-neer is expected to attend themeeting.

Uebelackersaidcouncildoesnot typically take sides in speed

humpdiscussions,butsince thisone has generated some contro-versy, it was decided to conducta public meeting.

Uebelacker said the speedhumps could have a potentialimpact beyond just PaxtonAve-nue. He said a number of the

side streets would be affectedby installation of the speedhumps.

Paxton Avenue resident Gi-na Sawmasaid she is opposed toa speed hump.

She said a speed humpwouldcreate problems for motoristsduring bad weather, especiallyif the road was slick.

Additionally,Sawmasaidoneof the proposed locations for aspeed hump has a problemwithwater runoff. She said if thewa-ter freezes, the situation will beeven more precarious.

“I think the speedhumpswillhinder people trying to get upthe hill,” she said.

Paxton Avenue resident Ma-ry Kenkel, though, said thespeed humps are necessary.

Kenkel said she frequentlysees motorists speeding alongPaxton Avenue.

“There is (also) tons of traf-fic,” she said.

Kenkel said a speed humpwould be an effective way tohelp reduce these speeds.

Three East Side neighbor-hoods have agreed to form anewCommunityEntertainmentDistrict.

ColumbiaTusculum, theEastEnd and Linwood communitycouncils all supported the pro-posal, which allows for up to 15additional liquor licenses,above the state quota, in the de-fined area.

For this one, it would encom-pass all three neighborhoods,from roughly Eli’s Barbecue onRiverside Drive to Bella Lunaon Eastern Avenue and up toparts of Columbia Parkway. Italso includes the area alongWooster Road, near Otto Arm-leder Park.

“I think it would spur devel-opment and (property) rehabili-tation in the areas that are af-fected,” saidTomSalamon, vicepresident of the Linwood Com-munity Council.

There was at least one Lin-wood resident, who lives nearTerry’s Turf Club on EasternAvenue, who had some con-cerns about noise and traffic inthe new district, Salamon said.

“That was the biggest con-cern, additional traffic, becausethat is one of the areas thatwould be ripe for that kind ofbusiness,” he said.

Creating a Community En-tertainment District has beendiscussed for several years, butthe idea didn’t really gain trac-tion until last year.

“It’s one of those things thathad been at work for a longtime, and the genesis of it is anumber of residents and busi-ness owners thought it’d be agood way to improve the neigh-borhood,” said Christine Carli,president of the Columbia Tus-

A BRIEF HISTORYIn 2008, City Council approved two Community Entertainment Dis-

tricts for the Banks riverfront development.In 2010, then-Councilwoman Laure Quinlivan spearheaded legislation

so nonprofits focused on neighborhood revitalization could get a breakon the $15,000 cost to apply for a Community Entertainment District.Later that year, Pleasant Ridge became the first neighborhood to take

advantage of the reduced fee of $1,500.Since then, City Council has approved Community Entertainment

Districts for East Price Hill, Madisonville, Over-the-Rhine, Northside,Clifton Heights/University Heights/Fairview, Short Vine and Walnut Hills.Without a Community Entertainment District in place, a business can

apply to the state for a liquor license that costs $2,344 annually. But thestate limits the number of such licenses: one for every 2,000 city resi-dents.And because of population losses, the city of Cincinnati is 14 licenses

over its quota, according to the state. That means 14 businesses wouldhave to give up licenses before a new one is issued.

OAKLEY — CincinnatiPolice say breaking andentering incidents in Oak-ley are on the rise.

During theMarchOak-ley Community Councilmeeting, Cincinnati Po-lice officer Dwayne Daw-son said eight breakingand entering offenseswere reported in Oakleyfrom Feb. 3 to March 3.

These incidents oc-curred on Ridge Avenue,Markbreit Avenue, Pax-tonAvenue,ForrerStreet,Cardiff Avenue, Brown-way Avenue, FerdinandPlace and Verne Avenue.

He said sites being tar-geted are “vacant proper-ties under renovation.”Dawson said items whichare being taken includeappliances and tools.

A lot of times these arebuildings being rehabbed

or part of aconstruc-tion pro-ject, hesaid.

He rec-ommendedresidents“keep aneye” on

these types of properties.Although Dawson said

thefts from autos, whichhave been a recurringproblem in recent years,are on the decline, he cau-tionedgeneral theft is stillan ongoing problem.

These thefts typicallytake place at a store orshopping area, accordingto Dawson. A number ofthese incidents happenedat 4825 Marburg Ave.,where a number of retailstores are located.

This isn’t going awayevenafter theholidays,hesaid.

People are leaving

purses intheir carts,he said.Wallets arealso beingtaken, saidDawson,adding thatcustomersshould be

alert to pickpockets.“Be mindful, (and)

know where your walletand purse are,” he said.

Oakley CommunityCouncil Vice President-Dave Schaff inquiredwhether people havebeenendangered as part ofthese thefts.

Dawson said very fewattacks have been madeon people. He said he hasnot heard about victimiza-tion being part of thesecrimes.

Following thecrimere-ports, Oakley CommunityCouncil board presidentCraig Rozen provided anupdate on council’s “Vi-

sion Plan” for 2014.This plan includes

goals and projects thatresidentswould like coun-cil to focus on in the com-ing year.

“(We’re) asking forcommunity input,” saidRozen.

BRIEFLY

culum CommunityCouncil.

Bill O’Donnell, whoowns Stanley’s Pub inColumbia Tusculum,said a Community En-tertainment District isa positive step, but notthe only solution.

O’Donnell said it’dbe great to have agroup of new business-escreateamorewalka-ble destination, but theneighborhoods alsoneeds banks, hardwarestores or other retailspots, not just places tohave a drink.

“Being an existingbar, it’s a little like hav-ing more than one gasstation on the corner—you hope that morebusinesses will drawmore people who willwalk around and popin,but theway it isnow,wehave to drawevery-oneourselves,”hesaid.

“I think it can’t hurtto have more places towalk to (for) entertain-ment, but I don’t thinkit’s the only answer towhat the communityneeds.”

The three communi-ty councils are work-ing on a letter of sup-port endorsing theCommunity Entertain-ment District and fi-nalizing itsboundaries.It would go through areview process beforeCincinnati City Coun-cil, which has to ap-prove theformaldesig-nation, Carli said.

With a CommunityEntertainmentDistrictin place existing busi-nesses looking to ex-pand hours or newbusinesses coming tothe neighborhoodwould pay $2,344 annu-ally for the liquor li-cense. On the openmarket, those couldcost up to $30,000.

There are certainrequirements for aCommunity Entertain-ment District designa-tion: the area must becontiguous, there isone license per fiveacres, up to a maxi-mum of 15, and busi-nesses need at least acertain level of foodservice permit.

New liquor licenseswould be apportionedthroughout the entiredistrict, and it’s unlike-ly they would be con-centrated in one neigh-borhood.

KETTERING — SummitCountry Day School boys bas-ketball coach Michael Bradleyhad a smile on his facewhenhewalked into his team’s lockerroom after losing to Roger Ba-con High School 49-46, March15 in the Division III regionalfinals at Kettering FairmontHigh School’s James S. TrentArena.

Why, you ask?“I told them ‘don’t think this

smile onmy face is becausewewon; I was here, we lost, butyou all were amazing and youhave been for four years,’”Bradley said.

And he has reason to smile.The Silver Knights, No. 8 in

the final EnquirerDivisions II-IV area coaches’ poll, were 1-2to begin the season (a loss toLockland was later overturneddo to an ineligible player) butturned it around to win 12 oftheir final13gamesandmakeapostseason run only they be-lieved they had in them.

“It’s just a testament to thekids,” Bradley said. “… Thekids,wedemandedsomuchoutof them and they just kept giv-ing and giving and got betterand better. They just gave allthey could and to be in the re-gional final with this group ofkids was just amazing.”

The loss closes the book onthe career of Antonio Woods.The senior scored 12 points inthe lossandcloseshiscareerasthewinningest SilverKnight inprogram history with a 93-13record over his four years un-der Bradley.

“He’s been amazing,” Brad-ley said of his star senior. “Hewas handed the ball as a fresh-man to start from day one. …We cannot take him out of thegame. He has to guard theirbestplayer; hehas tobring (theball) up every time; he’s on hisknees in the secondquarter be-cause we ask so much of himandhe’sonlygoingtogetbetterwhen he has other scholarshipplayers around him. The bestforhimisyet tocomeinbasket-ball and his personal growth.”

That growth will come nextyear as Woods received a fullride to the University of Penn-sylvania where he will try toplay both football and basket-ball.

To know how importantWoods has been to the SilverKnights, just ask Bradleywhatthey’d be like without him.

“Without himwe’re 3-19 andwe’re home three weeks ago,”he said.

Flying under the radar is

something that fuels a lot ofteams, especially a team likeSummit that’smade it to the re-gional tournamentfourconsec-utive years now.

“Somany people counted usout,” Woods said. “This groupof guys worked so hard to getthis far, so like coach Bradleysaid, we probably over-achieved this year, but it was apleasure to be here.”

Woods has been a part of allfour regional tournamentteams, including the 2012 statechampionship team where heplayed through the title gamewithatornMCL,so it’snodoubthe’s left his legacy on the Sum-mit Country Day walls.

“I love my school so much,”Woods said. “I love it to death.Just the community, the dedi-cation to sports; it’s a wonder-fulplaceandI’mreallygoingtomiss it.”

EVANSTON — Moeller HighSchool’s aspirations to play atthe Schottenstein Center wereended several miles down theroad at Xavier’s Cintas Centeron March 14 by TrotwoodMadi-son.

Trailing 44-30 going to thethird quarter, the Rams put on afurious full-court fourth andoutscoredMoeller 32-17.

Forward Dazhontae Bennetthit a pair of treys under the two-minute mark to tie the game. Inthe final minute, Moeller wentup, Trotwood tied, then Tre’Hawkins made a pair of freethrows to put the Crusaders up61-59 with :21 to go.

Trotwood Madison thenworkedtheball aroundandgotalast shot on a tap-out. Ironically,it was a guard named ChrisMack at Xavier who won it forthe Rams with a top-of-the-keythree-pointer with 2.3 secondsleft.

Moeller had two inboundplays from there, but the gameended with Grant Benzinger’shalf-court three-ball missinggiving the Rams had the 62-61win and a regional champion-ship.

“Give themgreat credit, theymade the plays they had tomake,” Moeller coach CarlKremer said. “I thoughtwe con-trolled the entire game, but wedidn’t get it closed.”

Even at the two-minutemark, the Crusaders had a six-point lead and a decisive re-bounding advantage. The finaltotals showMoellerwinning thebattle of the boards 45-29, butturning the ball over a costly 22times.

Trotwood Madison’s Bennettled with 22 points, with his twokey three-balls to tie coming inthe final 120 seconds. Mack at-tempted just two shots from the

arcandmade theone that count-ed.

“Late in the game their pressgot a few turnovers and they hita few threes,” Kremer said.“Even the last play, we didn’t letBennettgeta touch.Therewasadeflectedball that rolled out to aguy and he makes a shot. Thebasketball gods are cruel.”

Fouls were nearly even withMoeller committing 23 to Trot-wood’s 22, but the fast and fran-tic action down the stretch tookan emotional toll on the Crusad-ers and their fans.

“I think overall for the greatpart of the game, the officiatingwas very good,”Kremer said. “Iwant to say it’s human nature toofficiate therun. I think theygotsome critical calls in the runback at us.”

Leading Moeller was seniorJackAntonwith 21points and14rebounds. Fellow senior Tre’Hawkins had 13 points and ju-nior Nate Fowler had 12 pointsand led all rebounders with 15.

Blanketed again by the oppo-sition’s best defensive player,senior Grant Benzinger fin-ished with nine points and fourrebounds. Senior Adam Gigax,Benzinger and Fowler all col-lected four fouls on the difficultevening.

“I have no answers forthem,” Kremer said. “We’re go-ing to miss those kids and whatthey’re about and how they rep-resent our school. That’s ascrushed a locker room as I’veever been around.”

Moeller finishes the season24-2.

The loss marked the finalgames for seniorsHawkins, An-ton, Benzinger, Gigax, Gus Rag-land, Logan Malone, AustinMorrow and Trey Stacey. Re-turning from this season’s ros-ter will be juniors Fowler, NoahAble, Chris Bucher, KurtisHoffman, Kevin Kerley, BradMunz and Grant Pitman.

Clark Montessori winter athletes lauded

BATAVIA—Winnersgetto write the histories.

The University of Cin-cinnati Clermont Collegewomen’s basketball teamcreated school historywith its first-ever nationaltitle. The Cougarsknocked off top-seededCentral Maine 69-51 in theU.S. Collegiate AthleticAssociation NationalChampionshipMarch 8.

Stacie Lee (LakotaWest) lived up to her All-America billing with with20 points and 14 reboundsin the finals. Fellow All-American Ashley Keith(Clark Montessori)scored 18 points andgrabbed seven rebounds.Dana Finney (Lockland)added 10 points.

A slate of celebrations

is on tap. The first was anon-campus recognitionceremony primarily forthe student body March14, but appearances at aBatavia Township trust-ees meeting, the Ohiostatehouse and more willfollow. “I told the girlsthey’re now rock stars,whether theywant tobeornot,” saidheadcoachMikeMatthews, a Milford resi-dent. “It’s unbelievable.I’m still not sure if it’s hitus yet.”

Keith agreed. “It kindof feels surreal,” she said.“From playing in the tour-nament last year we feltlike we could do it, but ac-tually getting it done isamazing. It means all thehard work paid off.”

The victory created anindelible memory for Lee.

“It’s something I’ll al-ways want to relive, but

never get to relive,” shesaid, wearing her nationalchampionshiphoodie. “Weactually got to start some-thing here. Hopefully thefuture players will look atus and keep on winning.”

Keith and Lee have 3-year-old sons named Jor-dan. Keith’s boy made thetrip with mommy to thetournament and won fan-of-the-game honors in twoof the three contest.

Matthews saidhis teamembraced the family con-cept.“It’snothowgoodyouare or how much talentyou have, but it’s the bestteam,” Matthews said.“These girls have been anexcellent team all year. (Istarted to think we couldwin) in mid January. Welostourstarting(smallfor-ward) and our startingpoint guard to injury. Butother girls stepped in,

stepped up. We started torealize what our potentialwas.”

CaitlynnDistlermissedbeing part of a team. Shedidn’t play basketball herjunior or senior year atMilford, but went out forthe Cougars and was onthe floor when the buzzersounded in the finals.

“I kind of knew (wehadwon) by then,” she said.“Everyone just kind ofcame out on the floor andwe were all over. I just re-member seeing Stacie andAshley hugging. Just see-ing us bond togetherthrough the season (wasthe best part).”

Jessie Brenes said ad-justing fromhoopsatGlenEste High School to thecollege game was a bigstep, but she wouldn’thave wanted to do it withany other group.

If you are an Ohio birthparent who relinquished a childto adoption from1964 to 1996,then you need to be aware thatyoumay be in for the mostwonderful, frightening, joyous,and surreal time of your life-—meeting your child for thesecond (or even first) time!

Last December Gov. Kasichsigned into law substitute SB23 that gives adopted adultsborn between 1964 and 1996access to their original birthcertificates. The intent of thelaw is to end discriminationand confer the same civilrights to Ohio adoptees as toany other citizen, namely ac-cess to personal informationabout themselves. The law

takes effect onMarch 20,2015.

For adopt-ees, havingaccess to theiroriginal birthcertificateswill make thesearch foranswers todeeply per-sonal questions

much easier. Many adoptedadults yearn to meet the peoplewho gave them life and un-derstand “Chapter 1” of theirlives. “How did I come to be inthis world? Who do I look like?Where do my innate talentscome from?” These are ques-

tions only original families cananswer.

In deference to birth par-ents, a provision of the new lawis to give them one year tosubmit Contact Preferenceforms to let their adult childrenknow if and how they prefer tobe contacted. From researchdone in other states thatopened sealed adoption rec-ords, very few birth parentsever say they want no contact.The forms will be available onthe Ohio Department of Healthwebsite onMarch 20, 2014.

For some birth parents theprospect of reunion with theirlost children may seem daunt-ing, even frightening. I knowthis is true because I was one

of those women who kept itsecret from all but a few for 29years.

Opening the door to the pastand confronting my long buriedfeelings of shame and griefwere difficult at first, but sovery liberating once the truthwas told. With my family’sblessing and support, I made iteasy for my adopted daughterto find us if she was looking.

Using Internet resources,she foundme17 years ago andtoday our families fully em-brace one another. We get to-gether often for birthdays andholidays and “just because.” Asa young girl grieving for herlost baby, I never dreamed thiswould be possible.

In our community supportfor birth parents like me isavailable through Ohio Birth-parent Group—Cincinnati. Thegroup’s purpose is to provide asafe space for birth parents ofall generations to share theirstories and get support andguidance from other birth par-ents that understand this life-long journey.

The groupmeets the thirdSaturday of every month from10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at theBlue Ash Public Library. Formore information, contacthttp://www.ohiobirthpar-ents.org.

This week, a plan waspresented in Boone County toarm staff members atschools with guns – to pro-tect them. Let me see if I gotthis right. After the horrorsof Sandy Hook Elementary,Columbine and dozens ofothers, Boone County plansto solve this problem with-…more guns, this time per-manently within reach ofchildren – or adults who arenot law enforcement? Well,there are thousands of rea-sons why this idea borderson insanity, but for the fiscal-ly conservative, here are afew;

(1) Who is going to pay forthis? The United States al-ready lags behind most ofthe developed world in edu-cation. Are we to spend apart of the rapidly diminish-ing budget pie to arms andtrain people in the schools? Ipersonally would have aproblem voting for ANYincrease in, or new levy of,taxes, to pay for anythingBUT education in ourschools.

(2) Local law enforcementseemed to back the idea. Thisis truly sad, because it is aslippery slope. We AL-READY pay taxes so that thepolice can protect us, and ourfamilies in our daily lives.Accepting this plan meansthat the Police are subtlysaying, “we can’t do it, wegive up. You do it. We’ll stilltake your money, but we’recan’t do what we are here todo, so we’ll hand over someof our responsibilities toyou”. It is also a way of keep-ing the tax money for publicsafety and doing less withthe same. The solution isn’tfobbing off the problem tothe schools. The solution is todemand that the police per-form the job it is paid to do,and to fund them generouslyto do so.

(3) CNBC’s ranking of“Top States 2013” measuredall 50 sates on 51measures ofcompetitiveness with inputfrom business groups in-cluding the National Associa-tion of Manufacturers andThe Council on Competitive-ness. Kentucky, I am sad tosay, ranked 36th out of 50. In

the Educationmetric, thestate ranked43rd. Ken-tucky, as astate and astaxpayers,you mustquestion thewisdom of (1)not demand-ing that thepolice protect

your schools as they are paidto do and (2) adding the ex-pense of arming and trainingstaff members to carry guns,instead of demanding fundsto improve your educationalsystem.

Above all else, the ideathat you need to arm andtrain staff members to carryguns is a big and pointlessdistraction from the realproblems Kentucky faces.You don’t yet have a problemprotecting your childrenunless you relieve the policefrom that responsibility.Then you have problems.Who is paying for this? Andwhy would you not spendthat money to improve yourschools?

Arming teacherswith guns notfiscally responsible

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?

“Tome the actions ofGreen-peace puts them in the sameleague as the Ku Klux Klan.”

R.V.

“I do not agreewith destruc-tion of propertywithout provo-cation. The Greenpeace or-ganization sometimes goes toofar in its support of the envi-ronmental and animal rights'causes.

“Breaking windows or de-stroying property for the sakeof a protest just brings atten-tion by the media to the law-breakers instead of the issue.This was a mistake by the pro-testers and allows them to belumped in with hippies, draft-dodgers, and other counter-cultural groups who mostAmericans don't understand.”

T.J.P.

“Absolutely I agree withGreenpeace activists hangingbanners at Procter & Gamble

headquarters! Somebody hasto step forward to make theworld aware of rainforest andendangered animal destruc-tion, and they have the courageand funds to do so when othersdo not.

“I wholeheartedly applaudtheir successful effort to bringthis destruction to light, as cer-tainly Proctor & Gamble wasnot going to unless they werepushed to the edge, and theywere.

“What are we doing to ourearth? Fracking a massiveamount of acres, and no place

to store the millions of gallonsof dangerous chemicals used.Mountain tops disappearing inWestVirginia, all to feedexces-sive energy demands. Coalsludge and chemicals beingdumped in our waterways,shutting down entire commu-nities' fresh water supplies.

“Andyes, rainforestsworld-wide disappearing at an alarm-ing rate. Everyone shouldmake a concerted effort to useless energy, as every lightturned off and furnace turneddown makes a difference. Wehave all seemed to forget that.”

J.B.

“Not at all. Our country pro-vides forprotected freespeechin many ways. The activistschose to ignore thoseprotectedoptions and commit a premed-itated crime to convey theirmessage.

“The rights of Procter andGamble should be protectedthe same as any other citizen.If your neighbor doesn’t likeyour barking dog, should he beable to break into your houseand fly a banner from yourroof?”

As I write this column,I can see the field beyondour vegetable gardensowed with winter rye.After it sprouted, itstayed nestled under ablanket of snow until

recently. Itlooks like apale greencarpet.Seeing newgrowth atthis time ofyear justgives me abrightoutlook onmy day.My cook-

ing is starting to reflectthe change of season, too.I’m thinking way aheadwith lighter fare and funsides and desserts to

share for spring.

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 any more about it,and when it arrived atour table I thought hebrought me somebodyelse’s dessert. Since thenI’ve made it many times.

My current favorite isthis recipe that I adaptedfrom Alton 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 before

serving.

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 sum-mer fromDonna and waswaiting for the right timeto share it. Donna hashad this recipe for a longtime – she cut it out ofthe newspaper. Donnasaid: “It is delicious. AWest-sider all my lifeuntil recently we movedto Erlanger, Ky. Reallyenjoy your column andlook forward to it everyweek.” Well, Donna, Ienjoy sharing reader’srecipes and this one wasa big hit. So nice forspringtime entertaining.It stayed moist, covered,at room temperature forseveral days. The onlything I did different isthat I made a simpleglaze instead of makingthe frosting that Donnasuggests. If you makeher frosting, I wouldstore 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 cleanup sewer back-up dam-age, but that hasn’tsolved the problem ev-erywhere.

Sewer backups canoccur just about every-where and they can notonly damage your base-ment, but your belong-ings as well. Unless you

protectyourself,you couldbe stuckwith hugecleanupbills.That’swhat hap-pened toKarla Kra-mer after a

sewer backup at herAlexandria home late lastyear.

“We came home to aweird smell and wentdownstairs and noticed

some puddles,” Kramersaid. That’s when Kramerand her husband, Daniel,founded their basementwas flooded with severalinches of sewer 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 san-itation 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’ dam-age.

“They came out andsaid, ‘Yes, it was definite-ly their fault,’ but sincethey didn’t actually know(the blockage) was therethey were not at fault,”Kramer said. Fortunate-ly, the Kramers havesewer backup insuranceas part of their homeown-er’s coverage. But theyonly had $5,000 coverageand the damage to theirhome and belongingsexceeded $12,000.

SD-1Director Dave

Rager 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 so manyutilities are owned by thegovernment, the chal-lenge of maintainingsystems like this,” Ragersaid.

Rager said the sewerdistrict will be checkingthe lines in Kramers’neighborhood every sixmonths to make surethey remain clear. Unlikethe Cincinnati Metropol-itan Sewer District,SD-1’s federal court de-cree doesn’t require it topay for undetected sewerline problems.

“We have 700 miles 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 thosewith a finished basement.In addition, those whorent homes should checktheir renter’s insurancepolicy.

A Forest Park mansaid although he hasrenter’s insurance, hispolicy didn’t cover therecent sewer back-updamage to his belong-ings. So, because manyrenters’ policies don’tautomatically includesewer back-up coverage,you need to ask for thisprotection.

Nearly 92 percent ofolder adults have at leastone chronic condition and77 percent have two ormore, according to theNational Council on Ag-ing.

Continuous health con-ditions like arthritis canlimit daily activities,cause stress and fatigue,and decrease quality oflife.

A free six-week coursethis spring aims to helppeople with chronic con-ditions take control oftheir health, feel better,do more, and even savemoney on health carecosts.

Called the Healthy-UChronic Disease Self-Management Program,the series will run 9:30a.m. Thursday morningsfromApril 10 toMay15 atHyde Park Center forOlder Adults, 2800 ErieAve.

The course is free toany adults with healthconditions such as diabe-tes, high blood pressure,heart disease, fibromyal-gia, arthritis, sickle celldisease, depression, orany other chronic healthissues, as well as theircaregivers.

To register, call 321-6816. The class size is lim-ited, so reserve a placesoon. The evidence-basedcourse is sponsored bythe Council on Aging ofSouthwestern Ohio.

With the help of twotrained class leaders andan easy-to-read work-

book, Healthy U classmembers learn from oth-ers with similar health is-sues, set personal goalsand report on their pro-gress each week.

Problem-solving, deci-sion-making and confi-dence-building are keypartsof theprogram.Top-ics include relaxationtechniques, decreasingfatigue and improvingsleep, diet changes to con-trol symptoms, exerciseto improve strength andendurance, taking an ac-tive role in health carediscussions, using medi-cations correctly, and oth-er ways to deal withchronichealth conditions.

Healthy-U was devel-oped at Stanford Univer-sity and has helped hun-dredsof thousandsofpeo-ple improve their healthandqualityof lifeover thepast thirty years. Studieshave shown that the pro-gram results in signifi-cant, measurable im-provements in move-ment, symptoms, depres-sion, fatigue, disability,and activity limitations.

Class members alsohave fewer doctor visitsand spend fewer days inthe hospital comparedwith those who did notparticipate in the pro-gram.

As one class membersaid, “Thecourseexposedme to new ways of think-ing about myself and themedical problems that af-fectedmy life. It gavemenew strategies for keep-

ingdepression andpain atbay, ways to relax mymind and body, and eye-opening ideas about exer-cise that I could do. I wasgiven an arsenal of skills

to use to take charge ofmy life once again in away that was clear andeasy to understand.Through weekly actionplans I began to feel suc-

cessful, seeing in a posi-tive light those thingsabout which I had beenhopeless before. Insteadof trying to fight/cure mychronic illnesses, I now

realize that Icando thingsto live better with them.”
