Daphne McLaughlin, wholives in Kenwood, was among 65students chosen by the U.S. De-partment of State to study inKorea as part of the National Se-curity Language Initiative forYouth.
“The point of (this) is to have
students learn uncommon butcritical languages,” McLaugh-lin said.
Recipients of this scholar-ship are provided with an oppor-tunity to study abroad.
McLaughlin will spend aboutfive hours a day at the Sook-myung Women’s University inSeoul, South Korea. She willalso join other students on fieldtrips throughout Seoul.
McLaughlin will depart June22 and spend six weeks abroad.
“I don’t expect to be fluent,(but) I hope to (learn) more ofthe language,” McLaughlinsaid.
Although this won’t beMcLaughlin’s first interna-tional trip, it will be her first
time in Korea.McLaughlin has immersed
herself in the Korean languagefor about a year. However, shehas also studied Chinese andJapanese.
“I don’t think it’s good to beclosed-minded (regarding for-eign) languages,” she said. “Somany of the larger businessesare from other countries.”
McLaughlin said she eventu-ally plans to pursue interna-tional relations as a course ofstudy.
For now, though, she wel-comes the chance to visit anoth-er country and explore a differ-ent culture.
“I’m most excited about justbeing there,” she said.

Paul Morgan said it is easy totell on any given Saturday howmuch the Little Miami StatePark Bike Trail is a part ofdowntown Loveland. Peoplestream into Nisbet Park fromboth ends, using the trail thatstretches 50 miles.
“The popularity of this parkis really soaring these days,”said Morgan, a member of theFriends of the Little MiamiState Park.
In 2014, more than 700,000people used the trail and morethan 100,000 accessed it throughthe Loveland trail head. Morgansaid with the high usage, age ofthe trail and proximity to theLittle Miami River, repairs areneeded.
“Some areas have been cor-roded away and are about to fallinto the river. There are manyspots with cracks from treeroots and places where thepavement has buckled. It isabout the safety and basic func-tion of the trail,” Morgan said.
In Gov. John Kasich’s 2014budget bill, $88.5 million was al-lotted to Ohio State Parks forcapital improvements. Matt Ei-selstein, of the Ohio Depart-ment of Natural Resources, said$3 million has been approvedfor improvements to the LittleMiami State Park, commonlycalled the Loveland Bike Trail.
“We did an online survey.People could go online and tellus about what project theywanted done at their favoritestate park and this was one ofthe most requested projects,”
Eiselstein said.Phase one of improvements
will include shoring up areas ofslippage, fortifying shorelinesand replacing storm water cul-verts.
“The consultant is out thereright now to help us find areaswhere we need to make it safefor folks to go by. After that isdone, we will prioritize andspend the dollars where theyneed to be spent. Ideally, duringconstruction season next yearphase one will be completed,”Eiselstein said.
Later phases will include re-paving, replacing guardrailsand fences and renovating andrebuilding bridges.

When a metal sculptoris a runner who grew up inPortland, Oregon, the landof Steve Prefontaine andNike, and loves runningthe Madeira Mile with hisbuddies, this outcome isinevitable.
Denny Mitchell is fab-ricating the winners’ tro-phies for this year’s Ma-deira Mile, which takesplace at 6:30 p.m. Thurs-day, July 2 . He draws in-spiration for projectsfrom a wealth of life expe-riences. He is an artisan,Marine veteran, welderand a relative of a metalsculptor renown for an ex-hibit at the Louvre.
As an artisan he strivesto make a meaningful con-nection for his cause as hecrafts from steal an ex-pression for an event. Hisdesign for the LLS Lym-phoma and LeukemiaMan of The Year awardwas reflective of the char-acteristics of its recipientand what it takes to over-come that disease. It wascrafted from armor plateused in U.S. military vehi-cles. Mitchell made theconnection because ar-mor plate is tough, it takesa beating, is bullet proofand never shows fatigue.
The motif of the tro-phies ties into a familiar
sight for runners andwalkers in the Madeiracommunity as it is basedon the logo emblazonedthroughout Madeiramarking the 26 miles ofmeasured running trailscalled the Madeira Miles.
The material for theMadeira Mile trophies isthe same armor plate ofthe LLS award and thethird and fourth pieceswhich Mitchell intendedto represent the bulletproof toughness that run-ners show in being thefirst place finishers in thisiconic local event. Sincethe race is part of the com-munity’s Independence
Day celebration, he seesthe trophies of this ma-terial representing thetoughness that our sol-diers embodied in gainingour independence 239years ago.
The 18th edition of theMadeira Mile is the open-ing unit of the Madeira In-dependence Day parade,and as such affords therunners thousands of en-thusiastic and friendlysupporters along theroute.

many people think of it asthe trail they get on inDowntown Loveland.
“The bike trail is suchan anchor to the downtownthat feeds so many of thebusinesses. The populari-ty of the bike trail is pivot-al to Loveland Station andto all the developments,”Loveland City ManagerDave Kennedy said.
He added he cited thetrail in a grant applicationto improve a playgroundin Nisbet Park, which thecity received.
“It plays such an activerole. It fits the lifestyle of alot of our residents,” hesaid.
Eiselstein said the trailhas been likened to Route66 for cyclists.
“(Cyclists) can see allthese little villages as theygo along. It is a unique partof the state park systemthat we really want to pre-serve. The folks that util-
ize it love it and we want toinvite more people to useit. This is a project thathelps us do that,” he said.

Joe and Julie Walker ofMontgomery figure it’snever too early to teach akid how to be an entrepre-neur. And what better wayto reach 6- and 7-year-oldsthan through ice creameconomics?
For the past two years,the Walkers, owners ofWalker Bros. Ice Cream at9425 Montgomery Road,have partnered withMontgomery ElementarySchool teacher NicoleMullins to help her sec-ond-graders learn moreabout business. Many ofthe students know aboutWalker Bros., having vis-ited on a field trip as first-graders.
Perhaps understand-ably, the ice cream was astrong learning motiva-tor.
“We were shocked. Thekids are only in the secondgrade and they really un-derstood. They had stud-ied products, resourcesand consumers, and wetold them about the impor-tance of picking a locationfor your business,” JulieWalker said.
The Walkers decided toopen Walker Bros. IceCream, named after theirfour sons, after Joe Walk-er heard there was de-mand for ice cream indowntown Montgomery.So, he converted the yardand carriage house be-hind his engineering busi-ness, Automated SystemsEngineering, into WalkerBros Ice Cream three anda half years ago.
“One of the reasons westarted this was to teachour boys about how to runa small family business
but we also wanted toteach them about the im-portance of giving back tothe community too. Wereally try to focus on thatpart of it, so they can un-derstand the importanceof that,” Joe Walker said.That desire to help otherslearn translated to help-ing Mullins’ students.
This is the second yearthe Walkers spoke to Mul-lins’ class atMontgomeryElementary School,where the second-gradersare learning about eco-nomics.
Mullinscontacted theWalkers about their busi-ness so the students couldapply what they learnedin class.
“And ice cream issomething they would bereally interested in hear-ing about,” Julie Walkersaid.
Walker Bros. had al-ready been working withMontgomery Elementary.The first-graders take afield trip to the shop everyyear to ice cream. Theyextended the offer to therest of the school, afterdoing the presentation forthe second-graders.
Julie Walker said thekids were quickly able totell her why it would be abad idea to open an icecream stand in a cornfield. The kids knew it hadto be close to the consum-ers, so they could walk toit from other places likerestaurants. The kidsidentified Walker Bros.consumers as them-selves, parents, olderkids, teachers and evenpets.
“We do have dog treatson the menu,” Joe Walkersaid.
Joe Walker said it wasinteresting getting feed-back and ideas from thestudents. One student, asoccer player, alreadyhad a plan sketched to fixa hole she saw in their me-
nu. There was a grandslam sundae for baseball,but nothing for soccer.The Walkers took her de-sign and now have a soc-cer sundae.
Julie Walker said sheand Joe have tried to in-still the importance of en-trepreneurship, educa-tion and giving back intheir sons and their busi-ness.
“We give a discount tokids if they bring their re-port card and they havetwo or more As,” JoeWalker said.
Walker Bros. high-lights fundraisers on thecommunity section of itswebsite and has workedwith Cancer Free Kids,Girls on the Run, theMontgomery Food Shareand the PTOs at areaschools.

Indian Hill VillageCouncil has raised its wa-ter rates by 5 percent –the first hike since 2008.
The base water rate in-crease from $2.84 per 100cubic feet of water to$2.98 per 100 cubic feetwill take effect July 1.
It will affect not onlyIndian Hill residents, butsome residential andbusinesses customers ineight surrounding com-munities.
Indian Hill City Man-ager Dina Minneci saidthe hike is needed to re-place infrastructure thathas been in service farbeyond its years.
“The increase will pro-vide some support to a 10-year capital and operat-ing plan,” Minneci said.
“The plan was evaluat-ed over several monthsby council’s Water Worksand Finance committeesand will continue to beevaluated every year.”
Indian Hill WaterWorks has a total of 5,481customer accounts, serv-ing mostly residentialcustomers in the village,Camp Dennison, Cincin-nati, Columbia Township,Madeira, Milford, Mont-gomery, Remington and
Terrace Park.There are commercial
customers in Camp Den-nison and Madeira.
Although residentshave seen larger waterinvoices over the pastseveral years, they werea result of sewer-rate in-creases implemented bythe Metropolitan SewerDistrict of Greater Cin-cinnati, Minneci said.
In related news, Indi-an Hill Village Council-woman Melissa Cowanrecently reported to vil-lage council that the En-vironmental ProtectionAgency has determinedthat Indian Hill’s brinedischarge system has noimpact on the aquatic lifeof the Little Miami Stateand National Scenic Riv-er.

» The National Honor Society met a school challengeto “build a better world” by building birthday boxes forchildren in our area who may not have the resources tohave a birthday party.
Each year the SUA NHS chooses a service project tobenefit a local non-profit agency. For the 2015-2016 schoolyear, members decided to make birthday boxes, consist-ing of cake mix, icing, plates, napkins, and forks to donateto the Ronald McDonald House, Interfaith HospitalityNetwork, Homeless Day Shelter, Churches Active in
Northside Pantry, Grace Place Shelter and the BethanyHouse Shelter in North Fairmount.
Boxes were delivered to the agencies to be distributedto children on their birthdays. The students hope theseboxes will help children create birthday memories thatthey will cherish for a lifetime.
The students participating in this event were selectedto be part the NHS based on leadership activities andgrade point average. The goal of the organization is to ex-pand students' community service and leadership skillsthrough various activities and service projects.

What is it aboutvintage recipesthat intriguesme so? I guessit’s about the
history, a time when recipesharing was done by passingwritten or typed recipes byhand, sometimes when folks
gathered togeth-er for a morningcoffee break atsomeone’s home.
I was giftedwith such a won-derful lot ofrecipes fromDonna Wright, aClermont Countyreader whowanted me tohave her Mom’s
and Grandma’s recipes. In-cluded with vintage cookbookswas a wooden box with thehandwritten and typed recipes,often with notes on the recipesby the cook. When I lookedthrough the box, I was sur-prised at the number of cakes,both for breakfast, brunch anddessert. We like a simple cinna-mon coffee cake, one that canbe made with the little ones andmixed by hand.
The recipe I’m sharing todayfrom that wooden box is justsuch a recipe. It’s called quickcoffee cake but I gave it anadditional name.
Quick coffee cake akaNot a fancy coffee cake
How much is a heaping ta-blespoon? The butter shouldmound up on the spoon. I adapt-ed the recipe only slightly. Imade this by hand with a whisk.
1 heaping tablespoon but-ter
1/2 cup sugar1 egg1/2 cup milk1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking pow-
der1/2 teaspoon saltPreheat oven to 325. Melt butter. Beat egg and
sugar together. Beat in butter.Add milk and vanilla and beathard. Add dry ingredients,which you have mixed togeth-er. (I just whisked them togeth-er). Blend but don’t over beat.Pour into greased and flouredpan. (I used spray).
Then mix together:3 tablespoons sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamonThe recipe said to sprinkle
this on top which I did. Nexttime I’ll swirl it into the batterso that if I would choose toglaze it, the glaze won’t pull thetopping up.
Bake 30 minutes or so justuntil toothpick inserted in cen-ter comes out clean. Don’t overbake or cake will be dry.
Glaze (opt)I just made a confectioners
sugar glaze with a cup of con-fectioners sugar and enoughwater to make a glaze. Startwith 3 tablespoons water.
Refrigerator or freezerpickles
No, I didn’t make a mistakein the title. These pickles do goin the freezer and yes, they areamazingly crisp after thawing.My sister, Sonia, loves hergarden and each year makesthese awesome pickles. ForJudy N., who wanted the recipeand also wanted to know if shecould add some fresh dill sinceher dill will be ready when herpickling cucumbers are. Theanswer is yes. I think it wouldgive the pickles another ele-ment of flavor and, after all,dill is one of the ingredients inpickling spice.
4 cups thinly sliced cucum-bers, unpeeled
1 medium onion, slicedthin
2 tablespoons saltUp to 1-1/2 cups sugar - I use
less but just go to taste1/2 cup vinegar1-1/2 teaspoons pickling
spice1 red bell pepper, diced
(opt)1 clove garlic, smashed
(opt)
Arrange cucumbers andonions in large bowl. Sprinklewith salt and mix. Pour enoughwater over to just cover them.Stir again. Soak at room tem-perature for 2 hours. Drain, butdon’t rinse. Meanwhile, mixsugar, vinegar and picklingspice in small saucepan. Bringto a simmer and cook untilsugar dissolves. Let cool whilepickles are soaking. After pick-les have been drained, add bellpepper, then pour pickling
brine over them. Mix. Put intocontainers. Let marinate over-night in refrigerator beforeeating. Keeps at least threeweeks in frig, or up to sixmonths in freezer.

That’s why we’re proud to sponsor the world premiere of Cincinnati Opera’s production of Morning Star, June 30-July 19. This moving production about the Jewish immigrant experience in New York’s Lower East Side in the early 1900s resonates across time and cultures.
vacation story (something thatyou personally experienced)?
“One of my favorite summervacations was spent working tohelp poor people back in the hol-lers of Appalachia workingvery hard and sweating my be-hind off with a group of youthand adults from our church. Itwas dusty, dirty, hot, sticky,buggy, spidery, yucky and hardwork but it was one of the morerewarding times of my life see-ing a bunch of kids (including acouple of girly girls) never com-plain doing it, and more impor-tantly seeing the sheer grati-tude from the home owners forwhat we had done for them. Itwas life lifting.”
M.J.F.
“Many years ago my employ-er needed me to assist a client in
Florida. As I could fly or drive, Idrove and took my family.Needless to say this provided a‘free’ vacation for us. As luckwould have it I was not that busyworking most days and couldalso enjoy the stay. Vacationsare great, but free vacations areeven better. Go Figure!”

CH@TROOM
THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONIf you could show visitors toCincinnati for the All Star Gameone location that best repre-sents the area, what would it beand why?
Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.
Earlier this year, theunemployment ratein the U.S. droppedto 5.5 percent.That’s good news,
and let’s hope unemploymentkeeps improving in the future.
The bad news is that theunemployment numberdoesn’t take into account thehuge number of people whohave been so discouraged intheir job hunt that they’vestopped looking. It countspeople who are working part-time just as much as if theywere working full-time. Peoplewho are under-employed – let’ssay they have a master’s de-gree, can’t find anything intheir field, and are flippingburgers at a fast food outlet (ithappens) – are counted as ifthey were fully employed.
So the un-employmentnumberdoesn’t neces-sarily tell thewhole story.
Fortunately,there are nu-merous stepswe can take tohelp grow jobsin today’seconomy. Be-
cause 70 percent of new jobsin this country are created bysmall businesses, they shouldbe the focus of our efforts. Aschairman of the House SmallBusiness Committee, I thinkthere are four areas whereimprovement could meanconsiderable job growth.
First, government reg-ulations. Congress and the
federal bureaucracy are con-stantly bombarding smallbusinesses with new rules,regulations, and red tape.Rather than focus attention onwhat it is they do, small busi-ness owners spend too muchtime fighting off the govern-ment. We should stop overreg-ulating.
Second, taxes are too high,and too complicated. If I wereking, I would do one of twothings relative to taxes. I’deither throw out our existingfederal tax code, and replaceit with a flat tax, or at least aflatter, simpler tax code.
Or I’d get rid of the IRS andfederal income taxes altogeth-er, and replace them with anational sales tax. However,I’m not king, so the likelihoodof either happening anytime in
the near future is pretty slim. So what should we do rela-
tive to taxes? Reform the taxcode; simplify it; broaden thebase and lower the rates. Con-gress should announce anychanges in tax laws earlyenough for small businessesand individuals to plan ahead;not do things at the last min-ute, as usually occurs.
Third, improve access tocapital. In order to expand,purchase new equipment, orsometimes even meet payroll,small businesses often have toborrow money. Getting a loanthrough the Small BusinessAdministration can be a pa-perwork-heavy nightmare.Passage of legislation knownas Dodd-Frank during the firstterm of the Obama presidency(when Democrats controlled
Congress) has added addition-al layers of bureaucracy to thelending process in this coun-try. Dodd-Frank should berepealed, and the SBA lendingprograms should be stream-lined.
Fourth, improve trade op-portunities for Americansmall businesses. 96 percentof consumers around the globereside outside the borders ofthe United States. Yet only 1percent of small businessessell their goods or servicesabroad. Even a slight improve-ment in this area could resultin huge numbers of Americanjobs being created.
So we’ve got our work cutout for us. Let’s get started.

Four steps toward real job growth
Rep. SteveChabotCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST
“Help Wanted.”One sign of a growing econ-
omy is that we see that phrasemore and more often – onstorefronts, in newspapersand online. It reminds thosewho see it that there’s a jobwaiting to be filled.
At Great Oaks, we’re con-stantly hearing similar re-quests from our businesspartners. They have currentjob openings – or plans forfuture expansion –- andthey’re looking for potentialemployees with the righttraining to fill those jobs.
We hear that in all job sec-tors, but in recent years we’veheard about a particular gapbetween jobs and trainedindividuals in fields like man-ufacturing, welding, automo-tive technology, aviation main-tenance and constructiontrades like HVAC, electrical,plumbing, masonry, heavyequipment operations, andframing and finishing. Theseare careers for skilled profes-
sionals.The jobs
are there,through em-ployers acrossthe Tristateregion. Thetraining isavailable, atcareer-tech-nical centerslike GreatOaks Career
Campuses as well as publicand private colleges and uni-versities in the area. Whatseem to be missing are thosewho can and will take advan-tage of the opportunities. Thatmay be your neighbor, yourson or daughter, your friend,or even you.
Chambers of commerce,employers, economic devel-opment officials, and othershave discussed and tried in-centives, marketing cam-paigns, websites, open houses,and other avenues to spreadthe word.
There’s no time to lose, andthat’s where you come into thepicture. Your help is wanted.If you know someone who isnot benefiting from Ohio’seconomic recovery, give thema nudge. Tell them to checkout training options in a fieldthat interests them. Chancesare good that there’s a place toget that training nearby and ajob that’s waiting whenthey’re done. A great first stepis to visit the website ohio-meansjobs.org. You’ll findresources for employmentand school information, andassistance to guide you inreaching your goals.
We all benefit when every-one works in satisfying andchallenging careers that payfamily-sustaining wages.Strengthen your community;tell a friend about trainingopportunities and in-demandcareers. Your help is wanted.

Yet another mass shooting.This time in a church, althoughit’s not the first.
I’ve said it before, and I’llsay it again: one guy, one failedshoe bomb and we all take our
shoes off at theairport. Thisyear alone,according tothe on-linesource GunViolence Ar-chive, 5,750have beenkilled by gunsin our country.There were899 accidental
shootings and 563 recordedshootings in self defense. (Thatmeans, if you own a gun, theodds are someone is far morelikely to be shot with it acci-dentally, rather than it beingused for self defense). In addi-tion, since Sandy Hook, therehave been (so far) 74 moreschool shootings.
I prefer to think of it likethis: those 5,750 people whodied this year are human sacri-fices we placed on the altar ofthe NRA and other gun rightsadvocates.
I am not advocating wechange the Constitution. That’sunrealistic. I do advocate that:
1, Not every person should
have access to guns. In orderto this you need real back-ground checks, paid for bypeople who want to buy guns.
2, People who do qualify,should be trained, and indeedbe licensed by passing a rigor-ous test (which includes beingable to hit a target).
3, People who have gunsshould, like the owners of cars,be forced to carry insurance sothat when their guns acciden-tally injure or kill someone(which they will, it is proven,far more than they will be usedby the owner for legitimatedefense), victims are compen-sated for the economic loss ofhospital bills or loss of life..
4, Real penalties, with stiffjail terms for anyone using orowning a gun illegally.
Guns may be a right, butthey are also a choice, and assuch, responsible gun ownersshould be advocating for train-ing, licensing, and insurancethat will make our societyeconomically whole when theyare misused

Something nudged me tolook at the obits for my oldhometown. It was shocking tosee the name of a gradeschool buddy on that list.
“No, that’s probably some-one else.” “Maybe the name isnot spelled correctly.” “Hewas too nice to have died thissoon!” But, it was he; it wasmy friend; he was gone.
The funeral was that day; itwas impossible to attend. Theobituary on the web page wasthe usual litany, the standardformat. He was born…hedied…”peacefully.” Don’t youjust hate it when they say, “hedied peacefully”? Somehowthe thought surfaces that youshould go down fighting toyour last gasping breath.
Funeral homes all havewebsites with guest books; so,a more personal obit wasinserted:
“We attended grade schooltogether. Back then, we calledhim ‘Smitty.’
“Smitty had an interestinghobby, collecting Indian arti-facts. He had an extensivecollection, which can only bedescribed as a very diverse,
professional,museum qual-ity collectionof all types ofIndian relics.We hunted thebanks of theOhio Rivermany timestogether. Wealways foundsomething,just lying in
the open. These items wouldsurface when farmers plowedthe fields, or when the riverwould flood these areas, andthey were not hard to spot.
“He was a Boy Scout. Per-haps it was his scouting activ-ities that encouraged his in-terest in Indian artifacts.During those grade schoolyears, he was quiet, polite,well organized and hard work-ing.
“Smitty taught me to makearrowheads by striking onepiece of flint against another.We eventually made arrow-heads that were better thanthose we found.
“Smitty had a sizable paperroute, which required the use
of a Vespa motor scooter sothat he could deliver all of thepapers on time. He wanted totake a vacation one summer,and he asked if I would takehis route for two weeks. Iwould have done it for free,just to ride that scooter. Hewas the only one in gradeschool who had a motor scoot-er. He kindly split his profitwith me, and I got to ride thescooter. That was a very funtwo weeks.
“After high school, we allwent in different directions. Ihave been living in Ohio forthe last 60 years and have losttouch with most of my oldfriends. Please convey mysympathy to his family, alongwith the notation that he wasone of the ‘good guys.’ I likedand respected him.’”
Many names were in theobits. They died at differentages: 20s - 80s suddenly therewas the photo of a young boy;he was 8. His obituary did notsay it was an accident. Eightis way too young to die.

WESTERN HILLS — This sum-mer, the Cincinnati Steam arecelebrating 10 years of amateursummer college baseball atMax McLeary Field on Fergu-son Avenue.
To celebrate, the Steam willdo as they’ve always done: lace‘em up and play.
This season, they’ll do thatunder first-time manager PatHyde, a former catcher atNorthern Kentucky Universityoriginally from Chicago. Hydewas a Steam assistant prior toearning the head gig.
Hyde’s a common commodi-ty for the Steam, who employmany aspiring for careers inbaseball.
“I want to put them in thebest position for them to be suc-cessful. I want these guys tocome in for the summer and bythe time they leave I want themto go back to their school betterthan when they left,” Hyde said.“I want them to grow and ma-ture as people and also as base-ball players.”
The Steam compete in theGreat Lakes Summer Colle-giate League, one of the pre-mier summer baseball leaguesin the country (arguably secondonly to Cape Cod), a wooden batleague comprised of playerswith remaining college eligibil-ity. Roughly 17 locals play on theSteam this year, as well as guysfrom Michigan, Indiana, Illi-nois, Kentucky and South Caro-lina.
After 11 games, the Steamare off to a 4-6-1 start. At theplate, the Steam have been led
by Jake Richmond (Universityof Cincinnati), who’s hitting.444, and Trey Ganns (NorthernKentucky), who’s hitting .351with eight RBI. Max Foley (Ev-ansville) has been hot with a .341average, 14 hits and eight RBI.
On the mound, Hunter Dunn(Eastern Kentucky) has a 4.23ERA and a team-high 17 inningswith 23 strikeouts. Nick Beard(Northern Kentucky) has a 3.60ERA and nine strikeouts in 10 in-nings.
“We have a very talentedteam. We’re very young,” saidHyde. “Getting guys into theright spot in the right situation.You learn how to pick theirbrain … you want to see whattheir thought process is andtheir baseball instinct.”
According to Brady Laber,Steam director of baseball oper-ations, the Steam has had 32players drafted by MajorLeague teams. Most notably,Adam Eaton with the ChicagoWhite Sox and Pittsburgh Pi-rates All-Star third basemanJosh Harrison.
“What I like doing is seeingguys come in day one whetherit’s summer ball or college, justseeing them develop into betterplayers and people,” Hyde said.“They may struggle one day,but the best thing about base-ball is you’re gonna get to playthe next day. It’s nice seeingguys grow from mistakes andget better.”

KENWOOD — Shortly afterthe celebratory dogpile on themound and their Division I tro-phy presentation, the MoellerHigh School baseball teamgathered in Huntington Park’sleft field for a team photo.
The last player to get in theshot came with two guests withthe blessing of his teammates.
Senior catcher Bailey Mon-toya walked his mother, Chris-ty, and father, Lucky, on to thefield and into the photo. Thechampionship squad thenflashed a unique sign, withtheir right hands forming an“L” and their left holding upthree fingers.
It stood for Levi. Levi Montoya, brother of
Bailey and son of Christy andLucky, died in an ATV accidentin 2014 when Moeller was in thestate semifinals. A year and aday from that tragic evening,the Crusaders and the Mon-toyas walked triumphantly onthe grass and celebrated lifeand perseverance.
The younger Montoya wasjust 15 years old and a memberof Germantown Valley View’sfootball team. Bailey wasMoeller’s starting juniorcatcher when he got the tragiccall the night before the Cru-saders’ 2014 semifinal gamewith Massillon Jackson. De-spite Levi’s passing, Baileymade the decision to return toColumbus for the game.
“I went to the hospital rightafter that and I didn’t go to beduntil about 4 a.m.,” Montoya re-
called. “I talked it over with myMom and Dad and they said Iwas probably better off play-ing baseball. That’s the onething I have grown up with andloved, other than my familyand God.”
Added Moeller head coachTim Held, “He didn’t want tolet his team down. He felt thatobligation to come back as ourstarting catcher. I wasn’t ex-pecting to see him the nextmorning. His grandpa calledand said he was on his wayback.”
Held had already made ar-rangements to adjust his line-up, but allowed Montoya tocatch with a designated hitterin his spot on offense. He toldhim if his thoughts were takinghim elsewhere, to let him know
and they would substitute.“It was a very emotional
day,” Montoya recalled. “WhenMassillon Jackson got thatthird out, I kind of lost it.”
Over the summer months,the family organized Live LikeLevi, a charitable trust to re-member their lost loved oneand help others. Montoya’sfamily adopted the Sisu philos-ophy that started with Levi’sGermantown football team.It’s a term of bravery and be-ing able to overcome adversityover incredible odds.
“We take donations and givescholarships away,” Montoyasaid.
The Montoyas live in Far-mersville and have been regu-lars at the Montgomery Coun-ty Fair showing hogs raised ontheir farm. Part of Bailey’shealing process came last Au-gust when he showed one of hisbrother’s hogs. Bailey himselfhas had Herefords and Cross-bred Barrows on display sincehe was 9 years old.
“Levi was big into 4-H andso am I,” Montoya said. “I tookone of his hogs and showed it atthe county fair. It won reservegrand champion and was inmemory of Levi. All of themoney (about $2,000) was do-nated to the Live Like Levifoundation.”
The 4-H organization standsfor head, heart, hands andhealth. The background hashelped Montoya in leadership,public speaking and hard work– all great attributes of a top-notch catcher.

When pre-spring practicerolled around again at Moeller,Montoya was determined to getto Columbus and return with thetop trophy. The team was alsoinspired and played to “Livelike Levi.”
As the season progressed, itbecame apparent the Crusaderscould have the stars alignedagain.
They overcame injuries to apair of 2014 starters in Joe Vra-nesic and Bryan Soth. Severaltimes, Montoya felt his broth-er’s presence.
“I hit a double in the regionalfinal game (against Mason) tomove us to the state semifinalgame,” Montoya said. “CoachAndy Nagel said he was stand-ing at first and the clouds kindof parted when I hit that double.It made me tear up. We justopened the floodgates (in Co-lumbus). I think for sure he was
definitely watching us.”Before Christy and Lucky
Montoya joined the Moellerbaseball family for the victo-rious picture, Lucky, a formerfootball player in New Mexico,lifted Tim Held in the air in jubi-lation.
Held was thrilled for the mo-ment and thrilled for the Mon-toyas.
“The whole year that fam-ily’s been through with thegrieving process, to be able tocapture the championship whenwe dedicated the whole seasonto Levi is a great feeling,” Heldsaid.
Though his 4-H days arecoming to an end, Bailey Mon-toya will continue his baseballcareer at the University of Day-ton.
Gone will be the hour-pluscommutes to and from Moeller.
“Dayton is 30 minutes clos-er,” Montoya said. “A lot of therecruits in the Dayton programare really good players and thecoaches are really good guys.”

LOVELAND — West Virginiasophomore and Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy alumnusKyle Davis continues to pro-duce.
In his freshman season atWVU, he was named a NationalCollegiate Baseball Writers As-sociation freshman first-teamall-American and a LouisvilleSlugger freshman all-American.
He led the team in average(.353), hits (79) and doubles (17).Davis was also named second-team all-Big 12 and to the confer-ence’s rookie team.
“I was not expecting to con-tribute this early in my career,”Davis said. “But during hittingin the fall, coaches liked my batand asked me about playing sec-ond base. Last season complete-ly exceeded expectation. Beingan all-American is great and itwill be tied to my name forever,but I would rather be in the Col-lege World Series instead ofwatching it on TV.”
Davis has taken a lot from hisformer head coach Jeff Keith.
He uses the same fieldingtechniques and drills Keithtaught him as well as the mantra
of working on things and comingto the park like it’s the last gameyou’ll ever play.
“Like coach Keith, I’m not thebiggest guy,” Davis said. “He al-ways told us ‘you can’t put ateam out there without me.’ Ithink that mentality separatesguys from other players.”
Davis is playing summer ballto stay fresh and potentiallydraw the eyes of professionalscouts. He is playing in Virginiain the Valley League with theCharlottesville TomSox.
According to the league’swebsite, it’s the oldest amateurbaseball league in America stilloperating.
Through the first 12 contestsof the 43-game season, Davis isbatting .227 and is tied for theteam lead in RBI with seven. Asof June 19, he was batting.300 inhis last six games.
“It’s a little like the MinorLeagues with all the travelingwe do,” Davis said. “Fourteenhundred people came to the firstgame so people love it. We havesomething going on every dayexcept Monday. The team hasthe biggest budget in the league,the host families have beengreat and it’s great to continuegetting reps. I’ve enjoyed it.”
