Loveland Initiative will re-ceive $20,000 that will go to op-erating costs for three years.The city requested $54,625.
Multiple members of theLoveland Initiative addressedcouncil before the applicationwas due, asking the city to applyfor them. The Initiative has nothad a home for three years.
City Manager Dave Kennedy

A Loveland business mightnot have reached its 175th yearin operation, if it wasn’t for aconversation between Law-rence Tufts and Bob Schild-meyer on a fishing boat in thelate 1950s.
“(Tufts) told me if anythingwere to happen to him the fu-neral home would have toclose because nobody else hadthe license or degree,” BobSchildmeyer said.
Lawrence Tufts was thethird-generation owner of hisfamily’s funeral home. BobSchildmeyer was his son-in-law, who had married MarilynTufts Schildmeyer in 1953.
So, Bob Schildmeyer wentgo to the Cincinnati College ofMortuary Science and got hisfuneral director’s license in1960. He became a partner ashort time later, and TuftsSchildmeyer Family FuneralHome and Cremation Centerhas survived until 2015 to cele-brate 175 years in business.
The funeral home has beenin Loveland since 1900. It is theoldest funeral home in Ohioand the oldest operating busi-ness in Loveland.
The business was started bySeth G. Tufts in Maineville in1840. Seth G. Tufts was askilled cabinet and carriagemaker. Sometimes he madecoffins.
As a prominent member ofthe Maineville community,townspeople would ask him toconduct funeral services, so hedecided to turn it into a busi-ness. S.G. Tufts Undertakingand Carriage Shop was born.
Seth’s son, Oscar Tufts,moved the business in 1900 toLoveland, a town growingmuch faster than Maineville,because two train tracks ran
through it.“Back then they did all the
preparation work in thehomes. Then one day my dad-dy told my mother, ‘we are go-ing to find a house. We are go-ing to have a nice place and afuneral home,’” said MarilynTufts Schildmeyer, one of thefourth-generation owners.Marilyn’s parents, Lawrenceand Esther Tufts, bought thefuneral home’s current loca-tion at the corner of RiversideDrive and Park Avenue in1925.

Marilyn Schildmeyergrew up at the funeralhome.
“When I was 12 yearsold, my daddy told me Iwas going to have to playthe organ for all the ser-vices that summer be-cause the organist hadchanged her schedule,”she said.
She went on to attendthe Cincinnati CollegeConservatory of Musicand become the music di-rector for the funeralhome.
“I’m an outsider look-ing in,” Bob Schildmeyerjoked about his late addi-tion to the company. Toavoid a repeat of that fate-ful boat conversation,where there was no suc-cession plan in place,Schildmeyer made sure tocreate one. As luck wouldhave it, both of Marilyn’sand Bob’s sons, Larry Sr.and Terry Schildmeyer,took a liking to the busi-ness. They grew up work-ing and helping outaround the funeral home.They both became funer-al directors and embalm-ers, and started full timewith the funeral home inthe 1980s.
Then there’s LarrySchildmeyer Jr., LarrySr.’s son, who in 2003joined the company andbecame the sixth genera-tion of funeral directorsin the family.
Some of the changesfor Tufts Schildmeyerover time are easy to spot.When Oscar Tufts movedthe company to Lovelandin 1900, he had a barn anda stable. Coffins were stillpulled using horse-drawncarriages, MarilynSchildmeyer said. Today,of course, big, modernhearses drive the recently
departed to their finalresting place.
Bob Schildmeyer re-called two times state andfederal regulationsforced the company tochange. Shortly afterLawrence and EstherTufts bought the home,preparation and embalm-ing could no longer takeplace at home. From 1916until the 1960s TuftsSchildmeyer had its ownambulance service. BobSchildmeyer said the gov-ernment began to restrictwhere private ambu-lances could travel, so“we decided to just stay inthe funeral service busi-ness,” he said.
The ambulance ser-vice and its equipmentwas absorbed into theLoveland-Symmes FireDepartment.
Other changes reflecta shift in the way peoplebehave. Take the way peo-ple view death and funer-als, for example.
“Things are very opentoday. You go back into theearly times of funeral ser-vice, it was a solemn dark
time,” Terry Schildmeyersaid. “Today we havemore of a celebration. Wecelebrate a life a little bitdifferently than we usedto.”
Because Tufts Schild-meyer has been in busi-ness over six generations,the company said it con-tinues to serve descend-ants of families who werearound in 1840.
“It is the same with thefamilies we serve. Thereare families out in theWarren County area thatwe have probably beenserving for five, six, sev-en generations, especiallyfrom the Mainevilledays,” Terry Schildmeyersaid. “We go a long, longway back in the roots ofthe fabric. No matterwhere they live, they al-ways call us. They maylive 50 miles away, butthey are always cominghome.”

MIAMI TOWNSHIP — Aroad project that’s costingMiami Township taxpay-ers more than twice whatofficials had committed topay has resulted in sever-al policy changes.
Township trusteesApril 13 informallyagreed they will no longeradopt a resolution com-
mitting money to a Cler-mont County Transporta-tion Improvement Dis-trict project in MiamiTownship until the countyengineer is ready to bidthe project and has a finalcost.
In another change, thetownship’s lawyer, JoeBraun, Miami TownshipAdministrator LarryFronk, who is retiring atthe end of May, andFronk’s successor, Chris-tine Thompson, now willmake sure township trust-ees receive the minutes ofeach TID meeting to keepthem informed about ma-jor cost overruns, as wellas the final cost of anytownship projects the TIDis handling.
“I think we learnedsome valuable lessons,
and I think we have a planmoving forward,” Fronksaid.
The issue arose whentrustees recently learnedthat a road project they’dagreed to spend $250,000on in 2012 will actuallycost taxpayers about$535,000. Township trust-ees amended that resolu-tion to reflect the pro-ject’s higher cost at theirApril 21business meeting.
The project was divid-ed into three parts: an ac-cess road now known asTodd Farm Lane, a leftturn lane on Wards CornerRoad at Todd Farm Laneand widening Wards Cor-ner Road from Tri-RidgeBoulevard to Todd FarmLane.
The county was re-sponsible for wideningWards Corner Road, whilethe agreement called forMiami Township to payfor the other two parts ofthe project. As a TID pro-ject, all three parts weremanaged by the countyengineer’s office.
In November 2012, Mi-ami Township trustees
adopted a resolutionagreeing to spend$250,000 on the township’sshare of the project. Whenthe project was bid 10months later, the town-ship’s actual cost wasabout double that esti-mate.
“At the time, I didn’tconnect that to the resolu-tion that was passed al-most a year before,”Fronk said.
When the contractorreceived final paymentfor the project early thisyear, Clermont County’schief deputy engineer no-ticed the discrepancy inMiami Township’s resolu-tion and the actual cost forthe township’s part of theproject, which by thenhad exceeded $535,000.He recommended that thetownship revise its earlierresolution committingfunds to the project to re-flect the actual cost to thetownship.
“I will confess that thatfirst resolution you re-ceived where the cost es-timate was $250,000 in2012, the county engineer
said they did not give thatto me,” Fronk told town-ship trustees on April 13.“The project engineersaid they did not give thatto me. I don’t know wherethat number came from. Iknow I didn’t pull it out ofthe air. But obviously, itwas considerably low.”
Change orders for thetownship’s part of theWards Corner Road pro-ject totaled $40,000 andreflected about 8 percentof the project’s total cost.
Mary Makley Wolff,chair of the Miami Town-ship Board of Trustees,said cost overruns werenot so much an issue asthe fact that the townshiphadn’t committed enoughmoney for the project.
“Our procedure rightnow will be we simplyaren’t going to do (resolu-tions committing funds)based on estimates andconjecture,” Wolff said.“We’ve got to see hardnumbers.”
Wolff and her fellowtrustees also saw the issueas a communicationsproblem, something that
Fronk said should be re-solved when he or his suc-cessor, as the township’srepresentative on theTID, start giving trusteesminutes of each TIDmeeting.
Fronk said that duringhis six years on the TIDboard, the county engi-neer’s office has done “avery good job of manag-ing projects and minimiz-ing cost overruns.”
“In this particularcase, if we’re looking forwhat happened, there wasa communication break-down between me and youat the point where thisproject was bid,” Fronktold township trustees.
Despite the highercost, Braun and Fronksaid the township has suf-ficient funds to cover itsshare of the project’scosts, and trustees agreedthe road improvementsare needed for economicdevelopment.

When we plow the garden for oursummer vegetables and flowers, thegrandkids repeat what my own kidsasked when they were little: “Are yougoing to plant potatoes, onions and
carrots?” The answer, ofcourse, is always yes.
Digging for potatoesor pulling up onions orcarrots out of theground is like findingburied treasure. Thenice thing about grow-ing these three veggiesis that they can begrown in the ground orin a container, like abushel basket.
We especially like new potatoesfreshly dug from the garden. Here’s ayummy recipe using a different tech-nique for cooking them.
Readers want to know:What’s the best mint for Juleps and
how do you make them?Spearmint for sure. Make a simple
syrup of 2 cups each sugar and water,add about 1 cup mint leaves, smooshwith spoon to release flavor, and boiluntil sugar dissolves. Cool and strain.
Fill an 8oz. glass with crushed ice,add mint syrup to taste (start withabout 4 tablespoons and go from there.Some people like it real sweet andminty, up to 1/2 cup) and up to 4 table-spoons Kentucky bourbon. Stir realquick to make the glass frost on theoutside and garnish with a mint sprig.
Earth Day fun!So much fun sharing seeds and
planting annuals with grandkids Evaand her class at Kilgour School andJack and Will at Guardian AngelsSchool. Thanks to Natorp’s for supply-ing plants.

Root veggies, Cinco de Mayo on menu
Stovetop roasted fingerlings with butter andparsley
I saw Ina Garten make a variation of these and just had to makesome myself. I used my heavy enameled cast iron Le Creuset pot.Make sure potatoes are about the same size so they cook evenly.
1/4 cup butter1-1/2 pounds fingerling or very small potatoes, rinsed but not
peeledSalt and pepper to tasteChopped parsley
Melt the butter in a large heavy pot. Add potatoes, salt, andpepper, and toss well. Cover tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to30 minutes, until potatoes are just tender when tested with a smallknife. Shake pot occasionally without removing lid to prevent thebottom potatoes from burning. Turn off heat and steam 5 minutes.Don't overcook. Stir in parsley.
Tip: Ina used dill so try that, too.
Cinco de Mayo chili cheese dip
I like to sprinkle the finished dish with more cilantro. If youwant a spicy kick, substitute tomatoes with chilies, drained for thediced tomatoes.
15 oz. can chili with beans14 oz. can petite diced tomatoes, drained3 green onions, sliced thin, white and green part bothCilantro to taste8 oz. cream cheese, softenedGenerous cup corn chips, finely crushed8 oz. Taco or Mexican blend shredded cheese
Preheat oven to 375. Spray an 8-inch baking pan or small ovenproof casserole. Stir together chili, tomatoes, onions and cilantro.Spread cream cheese in bottom of baking dish. Top with a layer ofchili mixture. Sprinkle top with the corn chips and cheese. Bake untilcheese melts and bubbles a bit, about 15 minutes. Serve with cornchips or veggies.

April 22 questionNow that the U.S. is “normalizing” rela-
tions with Cuba, and has removed it fromthe list of state sponsors of terrorism, howwill this benefit or hurt the U.S.? Would yoube more or less likely to visit Cuba? Why orwhy not?
“There are many things about our his-tory with the Communist Cuban govern-ment, that are not America’s proudestmoments. That being said, I see absolute-ly no benefit to the U.S. in recognizingCuba, as long as it is under Castro. If theformer residents, through Congress, re-quest normalization, I might change mymind.
“Our currently failed foreign policiescertainly do not gain any strength in ourdemands for human rights. Strange, tome, is how we kept the sanctions on SouthAfrica until they failed internally, but weseem desperate to not do the same to ter-rorist nations like Iran and Cuba.
“BTW I found the beaches at Guanta-namo Bay to be some of the most beauti-ful in the world on numerous occasions.Probably, Marriott could build a five starresort there in place of the Taliban Tow-ers Resort. I’m still waiting to go to theHilton that I was sure would be built onNha Trang’s beach.”
D.B.
“I’ve known many people that havebeen able to go to Cuba under the guise ofartistic or university/academic-spon-sored trips, so although it was off limitsto the casual U.S. citizen there were waysto travel there.
“I think Cuba will benefit in terms oftourism dollars and as for the U.S. itcould become a popular destination forvacations and leisure.
“The importance of this thawing isthat the Cuban people reap some type ofbenefit both in terms of economic and so-cietal. I believe they have been harmedthe most by their system of governmentand our cutting of ties.”
“Although I was in high school duringthe Reagan years, I never felt that Cubawas in any way a threat to the UnitedStates. I am surprised it took this long forthe U.S. to normalize relations withthem.”

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONWas Reds manager Bryan Price right aboutwhat he said about media coverage hurt-ing his team? What is the media’s role incovering local sports franchises?
Every week we ask readers a question they canreply to via email. Send your answers toloveland@community press.com with Ch@troom inthe subject line.
Drinking too much alcohol in-creases the risk of injury, violence,drowning, liver disease, and sometypes of cancer.
Clermont Recov-ery Center encour-ages you to educateyourself and yourloved ones about thedangers of drinkingtoo much.
To spread the wordand prevent alcoholabuse, CRC is joiningother organizationsacross the country tohonor Alcohol Aware-ness Month. In Ohio
alone, there have been 13,628 drunkendriving crashes with 7,959 injuriesand 340 deaths within the past year. Ifyou are drinking too much, you canimprove your health by cutting backor quitting. Here are some strategiesto help you cut back or stop drinking:
» Limit your drinking to no morethan one drink a day for women ortwo drinks a day for men.
» Keep track of how much youdrink.
» Choose a day each week whenyou will not drink.
» Don't drink when you are upset.» Avoid places where people drink
a lot.» List reasons not to drink.If you are concerned about some-
one's drinking, offer to help. Earlyidentification occurs at the first signsof a problem - before anyone has suf-fered a traumatic event, dropped outof school or lost important relation-ships, jobs, health or self-respect.
People do not need to bottom out tobe helped. Research shows that earlyidentification of the problem is amuch more effective solution forsubstance use problems.
Identification can be done througha screening by a health care profes-sional, or a substance abuse counselor.What happens after the screeningdepends on the results of the test.Some people can learn to cut back,while some need further assessmentand possibly treatment.
In general, though, all people arebetter equipped to work on recoveryif their substance use problem is dis-covered and confronted early. Treat-ment in the early stages of a sub-stance use disorder is likely to be lessintense, less disruptive and cause lessanxiety. Waiting for people to ask for
help is risky. Without help, familymembers can expect crises like ar-rests, medical emergencies,job loss,public embarrassment, even death.
For more information on screeningtools or assessment, call ClermontRecovery Center, a division of Great-er Cincinnati Behavioral Health Ser-vices at 735-8100.
Greater Cincinnati BehavioralHealth Services is the most compre-hensive mental health provider inSouthwest Ohio serving people withmental illness and related barriers.GCB is a fully certified, nationallyaccredited 501c3 nonprofit organiza-tion with a mission to assist personswith mental illness and related barri-ers to lead productive and fulfillinglives. www.gcbhs.com

Alcohol awareness marked in April
MelissaKaetzel-ColeCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
According to the Southern PovertyLaw Center, the following Ku KluxKlan groups are active in my oldhome state: Indiana:
Madison - Fraternal Order of theCross
Kokomo - Ku Klos Knights of theKu Klux Klan
Monroe - City Ku Klos Knights ofthe Ku Klux Klan
Kokomo - Loyal White Knights ofthe Ku Klux Klan
The Indiana University Depart-ment of History says: “During the1920s, 5 million Americans joined theKu Klux Klan, making Indiana’s Klanthe largest, most enthusiastic, andmost politically powerful Klan in thecountry.
“Between one-fourth and one-thirdof native-born white Hoosier malesjoined the group, and there were aux-iliary organizations for women andchildren. At its peak in 1925, Indiana‘sKlan could boast more members thanthe Methodist Church, the state’s lead-ing denomination. The Klan’s legisla-tive program for 1925 was directedagainst parochial schools and Catholicinfluence in public schools.
“As a political influence, the Klanfaded quickly in Indiana, but its socialand cultural influence dovetailedmore subtly into Hoosier life. Klanliterature capitalized on Americanracism, nativism, patriotism, andtraditional moral and family values.Klan members targeted blacks, Catho-lics, and Jews, but also immigrants,political radicals, feminists, intellec-tuals, gamblers, bootleggers, thrill-seeking teenagers, and motion pictureproducers. In one sense, Indiana’sKlan was a populist organization: itengaged community interests, pre-sented a program of action, and prom-ised political changes. The Klan’smessage of patriotism, Americansuperiority, and Protestant Christian-ity united native-born Hoosiers acrossmany lines – gender, geography (northand south), class (white and blue col-lar), religious (many denominations ofProtestants), and residential (urbanand rural). But this populist club alsopropagated a negative and wickedinfluence.”
So, you now know why attitudes inIndiana are the way they are today. Ithas a long history of discrimination.
In high school, I was captain of therifle team and president of the RifleClub. We had a national championshipteam under the direction of a champi-on coach, Harley “Doc” Francis. Occa-sionally, we would take road trips toshoot against other schools.
On one such trip, we were takingthe school bus from New Albany, Indi-ana, to Culver Military Academy nearChicago. It was an overnight trip, aswe did not have the budget for hotelaccommodations. Very early in themorning, we stopped at an all-nightdiner for something to eat.
The bus unloaded and we filled themodest restaurant and began to beseated. Suddenly there was a prob-lem! “We can’t seat him; we don’tserve blacks.” For the first time, werealized that we had a black on ourteam. What the Hell, Charlie (not hisreal name) was family! If we didn’tknow he was black, why the Hellshould you?
He walked back to the bus; I wasclose behind. He was crushed! Indi-ana, I have never forgiven you!

Indiana’s discrimination deeply rooted

The following are submittedsummaries from the LovelandHigh School varsity baseballteam.
April 23 vs. Hamilton The Tigers traveled to Ham-
ilton Thursday to play a non-league game against the BigBlue after a week of rainoutsand reschedules, which appar-ently resulted in the forfeitureby Withrow - unable to field ateam - of the two conferencegames to be played this week.
The Big Blue got off to aquick start in the first on twohits after runners reached on aHPB and an error. The Tigersgot one of those runs back intheir next turn when Adam Ber-an reached base on an infieldsingle and was brought home ona triple by Josh Meszaros. Love-land took their first lead in the
fourth with a two-out rally be-ginning with a single by ChrisSackett followed by back toback RBI doubles from Beranand Meszaros to go up 3-2. Ham-ilton answered in their half ofthe inning knotting the contestat 3 on 2 doubles of their own.Hamilton retook the lead in thefifth on a BB followed by a dou-ble and a single to go up 4-3.
The Tigers came stormingback in the 6th putting runnersat first and second on a HBP toJay Wilson and a single by Col-ton Lakes. Sackett put down aperfect sacrifice bunt to putrunners at second and third. Af-ter Beran walked to load thebases Meszaros hit a sacrificefly to score Wilson. Pinch hitterCade Woolston then deliveredwith a sharp single to left toscore Lakes for a 5-4 lead. In theseventh Loveland finished the
scoring when Luke Waddellwalked and then stole secondand third and was brought homeon a sacrifice fly by Lakes.

CLERMONT COUNTY GENEALOGY PROGRAMS
Warren County areawatercolor artist NancySullivan will display se-lections of her paintingsin The Gallery at RiverHills Church, 6300 PriceRoad in Loveland fromMay 3 through June 14.
Sullivan has a studio inLoveland where she alsooffers classes in watercol-or techniques.
One of her passions isnature, and she loves to
bring the outdoors inside.“Warm skies and beau-
tiful trees, hills and flow-ers, and animals and birdsare God’s gift to us. Hope-fully, my paintings reflecttheir warmth and beauty,”Sullivan said.
When very young, Sul-livan’s mother gave her asalt shaker and chal-lenged her to sprinkle salton a bird’s tail, and shecould keep the bird. She
found that didn’t work.Now she paints birds andher challenge is to makethem come alive from aflat piece of paper.
“To bring pleasure andsmiles to those who viewmy paintings is a gift tome,” she said.
The artist describesher art as arranging thesubjects so they tell you astory or give you thechance to make your own
story.Sullivan has no formal
education in art. Herpaintings are a result ofwhat she has gleanedfrom workshops, booksand friends in the arts.
Her method is referredto as “wet-into-wet” andglazing. She works withlots of water and layers ofthin color.
Her favorite mediumis water color, and she ex-
periments with oils andacrylics too.
“It’s all for the sake oflearning and being a bet-ter painter and teacher.”
The gallery is open dai-ly from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.,Sundays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.,closed Mondays. Call Riv-er Hills office, 513-677-7600, for extended hours.
An artist meet-and-greet is planned for Sun-day, May 10, between ser-vices (9:30 a.m. and 11a.m.). Everyone is invitedto join Sullivan in the Gal-lery at River Hills Chris-tian Church.
In addition an artist re-ception is planned for 6p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday,May 14. The public is in-
vited and welcome to at-tend.

For the third consecu-tive year, the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture’sNatural Resources Con-servation Service will of-fer an opportunity for ag-ricultural producers in Fi-vemile Creek, a sub-wa-tershed of the East ForkLittle Miami River, to ap-ply for assistance to applyconservation practicesthat protect water qualitythrough the National Wa-ter Quality Initiative.
NRCS accepts applica-
tions for financial assis-tance on a continuous ba-sis throughout the year.For the NWQI, NRCS willselect applications sub-mitted by May 15.
“Water quality-relatedconservation practiceshelp the agricultural pro-ducers by enhancing theproductivity of farmlandand may reduce inputsover time,” said Lori Len-hart, district conserva-tionist for NRCS in Cler-mont/Brown counties.
“Many farmers in theFivemile Creek water-shed are voluntarily tak-ing action and we look for-ward to working withmore landowners,” sheadds. NRCS conservationprofessionals will providetechnical assistance tohelp farmers install con-servation systems thatmay include practicessuch as nutrient manage-ment, cover crops, ero-sion control, buffer sys-tems, among others.
Fivemile Creek wasone of three watershedsselected in Ohio as a prior-ity watershed for this pro-gram – BrandywineCreek-Broken SwordCreek Watershed (Craw-ford County) and EastBranch South Fork SugarCreek Watershed (Tusca-rawas and Holmes Coun-ties) were the other se-lected watersheds.
Similar to many of thesub-watersheds in theEast Fork, FivemileCreek is impaired be-cause of excess sedimen-tation and fertilizer run-off (a.k.a nutrient runoff).
“The aim of this pro-gram is to demonstratehow on-farm investmentscan help protect waterquality, particularly forour area and Harsha La-ke,”said Lenhart.
Problems with harm-ful algal bloomshave beenlinked to excess nutrientrunoff from the upperEast Fork Watershed.
