they indicated that noone was at home …they did, however, re-port that there was adog inside the house,”Knapp said.

Fuller said none ofthe firefighters hadseen the155-pound dogthat “looks like a polarbear.” He and Knapptold Goshen Fire ChiefSteve Pegram wherethe dog might be hid-ing.

Fuller said Essiewas taken to the vetand appears to be fine.

“She’s white andfluffy again,” he said.

Fuller said thehousewas almost com-pletely destroyed andhardlyanyof the furni-ture is salvageable. Hewas told the fire start-ed in or near the attic,burned through theroofing material andcaused it to collapseinto the house.

The home, whichhas 11 rooms, four bed-rooms and three and ahalf bathrooms, is val-ued at more than$500,000 and was builtin 1996, according tothe Hamilton CountyAuditor’s website.

Numerous emer-gency crews respon-ded to the blaze, in-cluding Loveland-Symmes, Miami Town-ship, Goshen Town-ship, DeerfieldTownship,Mason,BlueAsh and HamiltonTownship fire depart-ments.

Ursuline goes red forwomen

Mount Notre Dame HighSchool students came togetherto support cancer patients withtheir locks of hair as part ofMND’s seventh BeautifulLengths campaign.

On Feb., 14, approximately67 students and alumnae cametogether to donate their pony-tails in front of the entire stu-dent body to Pantene's Beauti-ful Lengths Program. The ex-citement of the morningtouched somany other studentsthat already more than 110 stu-dents have pledged to donate in2015.

After the pep rally, stylistsfrom Salon Bel’aire donatedtheir time to shape the partici-pants’ hair. The donated hairwill be used to make free wigsfor cancer patients.

“This program emphasizesbeing a woman for others bygiving the girls a chance tomake a choice to be selfless in adifferent way other than justwith their time and talents,”Lauren Krasniewski, event co-ordinator and MND faculty

member, said. “I think it teachesvaluable lessons about priori-ties in life and also about caring

for one another as God intend-ed. My hope is that these girlswill continue to give of them-

selves in service to others, notonly in their remaining yearshere at MND, but throughout

their lives as well.”MND held its first Beautiful

Lengths campaign in 2005.

SYMMES TWP. — CincinnatiHills Christian Academy findsitself in relatively unfamiliarterritory entering the 2014boys tennis season.

Rebuilding mode.“We’ve got a couple guys re-

turning who played a lot lastyear and couple more whoplayed a little bit here andthereforusonthevarsity,”vet-eran head coach Lynn Nabors-McNally said. “I have a bunchof guys up from the JV tryingto fill out the rest of the spots.

“I’vegotguyswhohavenev-erplayedthegamebeforeandIdon’t believe in cutting, sowe’re really trying to teach thegame at this point. It definitelyis a rebuilding year.”

Gone areBenWittkugel andColin Kenney, who graduatedafterfinishingsecondintheDi-vision II state doubles tourna-ment last season.

“When we paired them to-gether last season, I think peo-ple kind of looked at us funny,”

Nabors-McNally said. “Butthey made a great run. Theyhad a chance to break in thesecond set and if they wouldhave and won that, you neverknow what could have hap-pened in a third set.

“If I could get a kid to state,it would be great, but it’s goingto be really tough. If you canmake them get better everyday and love the game of ten-

nis, that’s really more impor-tant. There are a lot of great,great coaches who have neverbeen to the state tournament,but who have really inspiredtheir kids to be tennis playersfor life.”

Junior Chris Bolsinger andsenior John Wells are the twomost experience returningplayers for the Eagles. Sopho-more Andrew Breeze-String-fellow and senior Jacob Simp-son were the part-time varsityplayers last season.

One Eagle tennis player re-centlyearnednotorietyforput-ting the student in student-ath-lete. Junior Michael O’Brienachieved a perfect 36 compos-ite scoreon theACTcollegeen-trance examination. Onlyabout 1,100 of the 1.8 millionstudents who take the test an-nually reach perfection.

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 thearcandmade 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 great

part 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.

SYCAMORE TWP. —At the dis-trictbowling tournament inBea-vercreek, Sycamore HighSchool senior Joey Morris wason fire. With three games wellover his average (236, 247, 244)the Aviator appropriately rolleda 727 series. With that, the topbowler on coach James Lee’ssquad made the Ohio Division Itournament and themorning an-nouncements at school.

However, the pins weren’t ascooperative at Wayne Webb’sColumbus Bowl March 7. A 727series would’ve blown the com-petition away. Instead, Morrisdipped to a 566.

Afteranopeninggameof223,

his next two were 151 and192.“It wasn’t really all that

great,” Morris said. “I couldhave done a lot better. The shotswerepretty hard. Thewhole set-up was really odd for some rea-son. But, it was fun.”

His second game was consid-erably below his 210 average.

“Some days you’re on andsome days you’re not,” hesaid.

Lane conditions vary and thefour-year varsity letter winnerattributesthattohisoffday.Still,his parents and six members ofthe Aviator bowling team got towatch him compete at the high-est level of prep competition.

“I’m really excited that I gotto experience that,”Morris said.“Especially for the first time inSycamore history. Making it

there is a huge accomplish-ment.”

Morris started bowling at ayoung age, but didn’t do it com-petitively until his freshmanseason. He would like to bowl incollege, but hasn’t selected aschool.

He’s enjoyed the camarade-rie of the Sycamore bowlingsquad as it’s been his only sportin school. When he walks out oftheschool, heknowshe’ll beableto return and see a banner high-lighting the team’sadvancementto the district tournament andhis visit to the state gatheringearlier this month.

“Every bowling season hasbeenablast,”Morrissaid. “Allofthe seniors have been on theteam for all of the years except

one. I’m really good friendswiththem. Bowling really brought usall together.”

While his high game this sea-son was a 268, Morris actuallyrolled a 300 game prior to goingto Columbus. At CrossgateLanes practicing with his broth-er, hewas able to to view12 “Xs”on the scoring screen. Unfortu-nately, he couldn’t match the ef-fort March 7. What he’ll reallyremember is the atmosphere ofrolling with the state’s best.

“It’s really insane,” Morrissaid. “A lot of people don’t real-ize how crazy people get aboutbowling. Once you step into thatplace, the whole mood justchanges and it is so intense.”

KETTERING — SummitCountry Day School boysbasketball coach MichaelBradleyhadasmile onhisface when he walked intohis team’s locker roomaf-ter losing to Roger BaconHigh School 49-46, March15 in the Division III re-gional finals at KetteringFairmont High School’sJames S. Trent Arena.

Why, you ask?“I told them ‘don’t

think this smile on myface is because we won; Iwas here, we lost, but youall were amazing and youhave been for fouryears,’” Bradley said.

And he has reason tosmile.

The Silver Knights,No. 8 in the finalEnquirerDivisions II-IV areacoaches’ poll, were 1-2 tobegin the season (a loss toLockland was later over-turned do to an ineligibleplayer) but turned itaround to win 12 of theirfinal13 games andmake apostseason run only theybelieved they had inthem.

“It’s just a testament tothe kids,” Bradley said.“… The kids, we demand-ed so much out of themand they just kept givingand giving and got betterandbetter. They just gaveall they could and to be inthe regional final withthis groupofkidswas justamazing.”

The loss closes thebook on the career of An-tonio Woods. The seniorscored12points in the lossand closes his career asthe winningest SilverKnight in program histo-ry with a 93-13 recordover his four years underBradley.

“He’s been amazing,”Bradley said of his starsenior. “He was handedthe ball as a freshman tostart from day one. … We

cannot take him out of thegame. He has to guardtheirbestplayer;hehas tobring (the ball) up everytime; he’s on his knees inthe second quarter be-cause we ask so much ofhim and he’s only going toget better when he hasother scholarship playersaround him. The best forhim is yet to come in bas-ketball and his personalgrowth.”

That growth will comenext year as Woods re-ceived a full ride to theUniversity of Pennsylva-nia where he will try toplay both football andbasketball.

To know how impor-tantWoodshasbeen to theSilver Knights, just askBradley what they’d belike without him.

“Without him we’re 3-19 and we’re home threeweeks ago,” he said.

Flying under the radaris something that fuels a

lot of teams, especially ateam like Summit that’smade it to the regionaltournamentfourconsecu-tive years now.

“So many peoplecounted us out,” Woodssaid. “This group of guysworked so hard to get thisfar, so like coach Bradleysaid, we probably over-achieved this year, but itwas a pleasure to behere.”

Woods has been a partof all four regional tour-nament teams, includingthe 2012 state champion-ship team where heplayed through the titlegame with a tornMCL, soit’s no doubt he’s left hislegacy on the SummitCountry Day walls.

“I love my school somuch,” Woods said. “Ilove it to death. Just thecommunity, the dedica-tion to sports; it’s a won-derful place and I’m real-ly going to miss it.”

Summit Country Day senior J.C. Kraml goes up and over Roger Bacon senior Fred Moorefor two of his team-high 14 points in Summit's 49-46 loss in the Division III regional finals.Kraml led the Silver Knights with 14 points in the loss.TOM SKEEN/COMMUNITY PRESS

Re-establishment of aunion of Socialist Statesin Eastern Europe

It is amazing that back in2012 when Mitt Romney de-scribed Russia as the world’slargest geo-political threat, hewas abusedand ridiculed asbe-ing out-of-touch with the 21stCentury by the leaders and thevoters of theDemocraticParty.

When Sarah Palin back in2008 described Russia as athreat to world peace, the Leftattackedher likewilddogs.The

problem is that most voters forthe Democratic Party do notknow world history much lessknow that history often repeatsitself.

How dare American votersallow themselves to be so obliv-ious. Now with a self- neuteredAmerica out of the picture,there is no one to stop Russia’sre-enslavement of all of East-ern European. During the 40-year Russian military-forcedSocialist political, supposedly,“Utopian” system over the So-viet Block countries, my moth-

er sent a “care” package everymonth to relatives in Europe sorelatives could survive untilAmerica developed a leaderwith enough courage to say“Mr.Gorbachev, tear down thiswall” in 1989.

Soon the new central com-mittee planning and rule ofAmerica by the elites in Wash-ington will have Americansbegging for care packagesfrom other countries.

May God help us all.Ted Day

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Helping the environmentdoesn’t have to be expensive ordifficult. One of the easiestways to help improve our airquality is to avoid idling yourvehicle when parked or not inuse.

Idlingwastesmoneyandnat-ural resources, affects the envi-ronment and harms our health.

Thirty seconds of idling canuse more fuel than turning offthe engine and restarting it. Notidling a vehicle is a quick andeasy way to save money.

Vehicleexhaustcontainscar-bon monoxide, nitrogen diox-ide,particulatematterandvola-tile organic compounds, all ofwhich at certain levels canharm the environment and ourhealth.

Remember to turn your en-gine off at the ATM, active rail-road crossings and while wait-ing to pick-up friends and fam-ily. Children are particularly

susceptible toemissionsfromidling vehiclesbecause theirrespiratorysystems arestill developingand theybreathe at afasterrate thanadults.

We can allhelp to im-

prove the environment, save alittle money, and breathe easierby turningoffourengineswhilewe wait.

Inflation is comingHistory does repeat itself.

Many societies have beendestroyed by ruthless dicta-tors or by ruinous inflations.]

One of the most recentvictims of inflation is Zimba-bwe. We visited that sad coun-try a few years ago. Theywere very courteous to visi-tors. One of the souvenirsthey gave us was a $100,000bill with a very unusual nota-tion on the back. It had anexpiration date!

We were also given a $20billion bill which had no value.For a few dollars you couldpurchase a $50 billion billwhich also had no value. Ifyou wanted to be a sport, $1trillion could be had for fiveUS dollars.

On arrival we were told notto talk about politics to any-one. The people were lovelyand appreciated our visitbecause it helped supportwhat was left of the economy.

One of the things that re-mains etched on mymemoryis the streets with shippingcontainers used for livingquarters on one side and por-table toilets lining the otherside of the street. We alsovisited an apartment where itwas impossible to tell how

many peoplewere livingthere.

Havingmade youaware of thosethings it isalso importantto say thatthere werealso somevery nice

suburbs. It was clear that weshould not ask questionsabout how this could exist sonear absolute poverty.

The reason for writing thisessay is that our country isheading toward a ruinousinflation that can only be han-dled by monetizing the debt.Each dollar the treasuryprints is only partially sup-ported by a dollars worth ofthe production of goods orservices. What is important tostress is that the major vic-tims of this governmentalabuse will be the very peoplewho depend on the govern-ment for support. In effect,they will be enslaved much asF. A. Hayek wrote in his NobelPrize book “Road to Serfdom”and the people of Zimbabwe.Their only means of supportwould be the government that

they have to keep in powerwith their votes in order tosurvive.

North Korea and Cubacome to mind as long en-trenched dictatorships. But,the recent disorder in Uk-raine, Syria and Venezuela areindicative of the turmoil thatthe population endures as theunfair powers abuse them tomaintain their position. Whatthis seems to indicate is thatthe slide into poverty andserfdom is easy. But, the wayout is bloody.

If your politics are suchthat you want to blame theother party, you might need tobe informed that the samesituation is obtained underboth far right and far leftgovernments. What we ur-gently need is for our peopleto demand that the politicalparties represent them in-stead of the polarized inter-ests that now rule the parties.All of the countries citedabove got into their conditiondue to greedy politicians.Unless we are careful it canhappen to us.

Edward LevyCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

The Obama Administrationplans to shrink our military tolevels we haven’t seen sincebefore World War II. So, is theworld a safer place? Hardly.

Turmoil engulfs much of theworld. Syria continues to un-ravel, threatening vital U.S.interests throughout the re-gion. Iran, the world’s biggestsupporter of terrorism, is de-termined to acquire nuclearweapons, despite the ObamaAdministration’s naïve plan toslow Iran’s nuclear programby easing sanctions. Iraq iscoming apart at the seams.North Korea continues to be amenace, with a madman at thehelm.

And China, that bastion offreedom and democracy, isengaged in an unprecedentedmilitary build-up, which willmake their military a directthreat to ours in the very nearfuture. China has had double-digit growth in military spend-ing every year for the last 25years!

Recently, in addition tothreatening to occupy andconfiscate islands frommanyof their neighbors, China de-clared, without a legal right todo so, an air-defense zone inthe region, demanding aircraftfrom other countries (includ-ing the U.S.) report to Chinawhen flying through this zone,or risk being shot down. Basedon these actions, it certainlyappears that China, like muchof the world, sees the ObamaAdministration as weak, in-decisive, and in retreat.

Meanwhile, as China ag-gressively expands its militarycapabilities, and grows eco-nomically and militarilystronger, President Obamaproposes to weaken our de-fense forces.

Here are some of the num-bers. The Obama Administra-tion has proposed a 13 percentcut in the Army, a 5 percentcut in the Reserve, and thecomplete elimination of the AirForce’s A-10 “Warthog” tank-

killer aircraftas well as ourU-2 spy planes.

The direc-tion PresidentObama has setfor the Navy isarguably evenworse. Where-as RonaldReagan fam-ously advocat-

ed a 600-ship Navy and, aspresident, increased our num-ber of ships to well over 500,the Obama Administration hasus down to 283 ships, andshrinking! He even tried toeliminate one of our 11 aircraftcarriers. Fortunately, he hasbacked off that proposal fornow, because every one of ourcarriers is critical to projectAmerican power around theglobe.

As a member of Congress,and as an American, the thing Ifind so frustrating about thispresident is that he’s finethrowing money at bloatedstimulus packages, welfareprograms, and the bottomlesspit of Obamacare; but when itcomes to our one critical gov-ernment expenditure, our na-tion’s defense, he grabs achainsaw and cuts away. It’swrong-headed, it’s short-sided,and it’s dangerous.

The purpose of a strongdefense is having it ready if weneed it. But even more impor-tantly, a strong defense, ide-ally, avoids military actionaltogether, because potentialenemies fear the consequencesof initiating aggression. Peacethrough strength.

Fortunately, Congress willhave to approve PresidentObama’s proposed defensecuts. He won’t get my vote, butwith this president, we have tobe prepared for the possibilitythat he tries to circumvent thelaw, and the Constitution, andact by executive order.

March 12 questionDo you agree with the tactics

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

“I do not agree with destruc-tion of property without provo-cation. The Greenpeace organi-zation sometimesgoes too far initssupportof theenvironmentaland animal rights' causes.

“Breaking windows or de-stroying property for the sake

ofaprotest justbringsattentionby themedia to the lawbreakersinstead of the issue. This was amistake by the protesters andallows them to be lumped inwithhippies, draft-dodgers, andother counter-cultural groupswho most Americans don't un-derstand.”

T.J.P.

“Absolutely I agree withGreenpeace activists hangingbanners at Procter & Gambleheadquarters! Somebody has tostep forward tomake the worldaware of rainforest and endan-gered animal destruction, andtheyhavethecourageandfundsto do so when others do 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, andnoplace tostore the millions of gallons ofdangerous chemicals used.Mountain tops disappearing inWest Virginia, all to feed exces-sive energy demands. Coalsludge and chemicals beingdumped inourwaterways, shut-ting down entire communities'fresh water supplies.

“And yes, rainforests world-wide disappearing at an alarm-

ing rate. Everyone shouldmakeaconcertedeffort touse lessen-ergy, as every light turned offandfurnaceturneddownmakesa difference. We have allseemed to forget that.”

J.B.

“Not at all. Our country pro-vides for protected free speechin many ways. The activistschose to ignore those protectedoptions and commit a premedi-tatedcrimetoconveytheirmes-sage.

“The rights of Procter andGamble shouldbeprotected thesame as any other citizen. Ifyour neighbor doesn’t like yourbarkingdog,shouldhebeabletobreak into your house and fly abanner from your roof?”

MARCH 19, 2014 • NORTHEAST SUBURBAN LIFE • B3LIFE

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 untilrecently. It looks like apale green carpet. Seeingnew growth at this time ofyear just gives me abright outlook onmy day.My cooking is starting toreflect the change ofseason, too. I’m thinkingway ahead with lighterfare and fun sides anddesserts to share forspring.

AmbrosiaI can remember exact-

ly when I first tasted thisheavenly side dish thatgoes so well with Easterham.Wewere newlymarried and took a week-end trip to Gatlinburg.One of the restaurantsfeatured ambrosia. I hadno idea what it was but itsounded so intriguing thatI ordered it. The waiterexplained that it was aSouthern side dishmadewith fruit and cream. Iwas too shy to ask anymore about it, and when itarrived at our table Ithought he brought mesomebody else’s dessert.Since then I’vemade itmany times. My currentfavorite is this recipe thatI adapted fromAltonBrown.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.

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 enjoyyour 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 simple glazeinstead of making thefrosting that Donna sug-gests. If youmake herfrosting, I would store thecake 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 back-ups 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 hugeclean-upbills.That’swhat hap-pened toKarla Kra-mer after a

sewer back-up at herAlexandria home late lastyear.

“We came home to aweird smell and wentdownstairs and noticed

some puddles,” Kramersaid. That’s when 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 san-itation district’s main linethat was clogged up.“There were deep treeroots that had grown

through 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 back-up insuranceas part of their home-owner’s coverage. Butthey only had $5,000coverage and the damageto their home and belong-ings exceeded $12,000.

SD-1Director DaveRager said that whilesuch back-up s are un-fortunate, they do hap-pen. “It is not uncommonthat it happens in oursystem. We try to keepup with the system butthey do happen. That’spart of the reason why somany utilities are ownedby the government, thechallenge 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 have700 miles of lines. That’salmost enough to go fromcoast to coast,” Ragersaid.

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.
