Always obtain required permits when making or allowingrepairs to your system. Divert sources of water away from the system such asdown spouts and sump pumps. Never dig or build anything over your system such ashard surfaces (concrete or asphalt). Conserve water to avoid overloading the system. Repairleaky faucets and toilets. Laundry Practices – Because onsite systems processwater as it enters the system, laundry should be spread outover the week and not run all at one time. Excessive use ofdetergents, especially those containing bleach, can affectsystem performance. Liquid detergents are recommendedover powders. Fabric softeners sheets are recommendedover liquid softeners. Bleach should be used sparingly andat half the rate indicated. Don‘t use septic tank additives. These products usuallydo more harm than good. Eliminate or reduce the use of a garbage disposal. Theadditional waste produced by a garbage disposal will leadto extra maintenance requirements. Don‘t use your toilet or disposal as a trash can. Coffeegrounds, dental floss, disposable diapers, kitty litter, sanitarynapkins, tampons or their applicator, cigarette butts,fat, oil, condoms, grease, automotive fluids and paper towelsshould never be disposed of in the system. Automaticdisinfection tablets may kill the organisms needed to consumewaste. Never pour chemicals or cleaners such as paints, varnish,thinners, and pesticides down the drain or toilet.Harsh chemicals can kill beneficial bacteria that treatwastewater. Medications/Aliments – Normal use of over the countermedications will not affect the performance of onsitesystems; however, do not flush expired medicines/antibiotics into an onsite treatment system. Some prescriptionmedications are known to cause biological disruption.Diseases or conditions which can affect septic systemfunction include bulimia, severe infections, chronic diarrhea,intestinal/ colon by-pass, or other gastrointestinalconditions and cancer. Oral or intravenous chemotherapyis known to severely disruption to the treatment processand require more frequent pump-out intervals or the use ofbiologically based additives.Protect Your Investment!

February 5, 2013—Indian Hill Bulletin— Page 8INDIAN HILL THEATRE PRESENTS POW WOW 2013THE PIRATES OF PENZANCEOn the coast of Cornwall, a gang of pirates play andparty as Frederic (a pirate apprentice) reminds the pirateking that his obligation to the gang is soon over. He wasapprenticed to the pirates only until his twenty-first birthday,which is that day, and he is leaving them. Ruth(Frederic‘s nursery maid when he was younger) explainsthat Frederic should never have been a pirate except for hermistake: She was told to apprentice Frederic to a pilot, butshe misunderstood and placed him with a pirate instead.Frederic tells the pirates that, after he leaves the gang,he intends to destroy them, not because he doesn‘t lovethem, but because he loathes what they do. He is a slave ofduty and, when no longer a pirate, it will be his duty to destroythem. The pirates understand, and also complain thatthey cannot seem to make money. Because Frederic is aslave-of-duty to the pirates until noon, he tells them why:Because they are all orphans, the pirates will not rob anotherorphan; and since all their potential victims are aware ofthis, they all claim to be orphans!Because Frederic has spent his entire life with the pirates,he has never seen another woman; thus he thinks hemay want to take Ruth with him as his wife. He asks Ruthif she is beautiful, and she responds that she is. Frederic, avery trusting young man, says that he believes Ruth and hewill not let her age come between them.Pirates of Penzance is the fairy-tale about very funnyPirates and beautiful fair Maidens.

February 5, 2013—Indian Hill Bulletin— Page 10CINCINNATI COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL JUNIORS VISIT FREEDOM CENTERFifteen Cincinnati Country Day School juniors recentlygained new insights into historical and modern-day slaverywhen they toured the National Underground Railroad FreedomCenter.Students from Fred Carey‘s English class did research basedon the ―Slavery Today‖ exhibit. They also saw the slave penand the ―Women Hold Up Half the Sky‖ exhibit during theirvisit Dec. 6.―This was an attempt to link the eleventh grade English curriculumto one portion of the school‘s mission of ‗Service toOthers,‘ said Carey, Upper School English teacher and SeniorDean of Students.―We were finishing up the Frederick Douglass narrative and,in conjunction with that work, I asked my students to do researchon the different forms of slavery that still exist today,‖Carey said. ―The research phase of the project took my studentsin many productive directions and helped them to understandthat slavery did not simply end with the EmancipationProclamation.‖Students were compelled to do more.―It didn‘t feel like enough to just learn about slavery today;we wanted to do something about slavery today,‖ said juniorOmar Mustafa of Loveland.And so, students organized a bake sale to raise money thatcould be given to one of the many national and internationalorganizations engaged in the struggle against slavery andoppression.―In the end, we decided to give the money to the FreedomCenter because it‘s right here in Cincinnati, and because itdoes so much to educate people about all kinds of slavery,‖said junior Nia Blasingame of West Chester.They delivered a check for $177.03 to the Freedom Center.Executive Director Kim Robinson told the students thatCountry Day is the first school that raised money to supportthe center. More importantly, he added, the students tookaction to make a difference in their world, especially regardingmodern forms of slavery.―We appreciate the work of the Cincinnati Country Day studentsfor raising support for the Freedom Center, and we appreciatethe work of their teachers, who are teaching life lessonsinside and outside the classroom,‖ Robinson said. ―Thisdonation means as much as any large donation. It demonstratesyoung people caring about their community.‖Deborah Floyd, Upper School English teacher and Dean ofService Learning, said, ―This was a great experience for ourstudents. The research, in-class presentations and subsequentdisplay posted in the Student Commons helped these 15 studentsto raise the profile of this critically important issuewithin the larger school community and beyond. These remarkableyoung men and women really are the New Abolitionists!‖Country Day juniors and CCDS teacher Fred Carey presentFreedom Center Executive Director Kim Robinson acheck.CINCINNATI COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL HOSTS STARFIREUFOR SIXTH YEAR.

February 5, 2013—Indian Hill Bulletin— Page 14IMAGES...THEN AND NOWFrom the Indian Hill Historical SocietyBuckingham Lodge-1861The Story of Drewry Farm LaneIn the nineteenth century, Indian Hill was largely agricultural. Jacob Traber owned a commission house (whichhandled goods transported on boats) at downtown Cincinnati‘s Public Landing and property on both sides of WoosterPike – in Terrace Park and on ―the hill‖. He cultivated grapes on the south facing hillside of his property. He producedwine and stored the casks in handmade stone wine cellars on current day Drewry Farm Lane, where he built a mansion.His home burned in 1893.In 1914, Mr. and Mrs. Lucius Demarius Drewry purchased the Traber property, consisting of 100 acres. Theyhad a grand residence in town, but used this as their summer residence. Mr. Drewry was with Mutual Benefit Life InsuranceCo. The Drewrys developed their summer place with care. Mr. Drewry owned a prize-winning herd of Jerseydairy cattle; and Mrs. Drewry cultivated and maintained an extensive garden.They built a large swimming pool and gazebo about 1915, and converted thewine cellars used by Traber to dressing rooms, where they could change into bathingattire.In 1936 the Drewry estate was subdivided. Named the Camden TerraceFarm, it was acquired by Reuben Holden. The Camden Terrace Farms Associationwas established, controlled by a Board of Directors, all of whom were propertyowners. The swimming pool – said to be the biggest in Cincinnati - and thelane became common property of the Association. Mr. Holden‘s home was thefirst graceful residence on what was renamed Drewry Farm Lane. Holden engagedJohn Garber, real estate broker, to execute the sale of the lots. By 1941 there wereseven property owners on the private lane: Holdens, Gatchells, Englaenders,Mitchells, Kittredges, Tuttles, and Skavlems.In the seventy intervening years, one more residence was built and the homes changed hands severaltimes. Many residents of Drewry Farm Lane lived in their homes for decades. Walter ―Dick‖ Tuttle Jr., who grew up onthe lane, moved into the house his father had built in 1939 with his family in 1951. He often said that there was no placehe would rather be than 5825 Drewry Farm Lane and that he wanted to be carriedout ―feet first‖, just as his father had. Dick fell and broke his hip at his belovedhome in December, 1999, and died a month later. He left feet first.In the years before air conditioning, the commonly owned pool providedrelief. Lane residents frequently gathered there, fostering friendships. Everyyear, there was an Opening Day and Closing Day potluck event. Because it wasan old, huge pool, it required a lot of maintenance. The Lane Association madedecisions about the pool and the lane. Every two years, a resident was chosen tobe Pool Chairman, which was (according to a current owner) a ―real headache‖.The pool had no filtering system and had to be manually vacuumed. Sometimes itturned green from algae and required a chemical shock. And there were problemsDrewry Farm Poolwith non-lane visitors – youngsters who skinny- dipped in the pool in the middle of the night. The Association put up afence around the pool. That did not help.
