A steel frame is all that’s left of Carl Zimmerman’s mosaic murals that lined the outer wall ofthe old Princeton High School library.

As the old Princeton HighSchool continues to crumble,the building’s historic muralshave been moved across thestreet, where they will be partof the new school’s future.

The mosaic depictions ofShakespeare’s “Seven Ages ofMan” will be part of an amphi-theater on the campus’ north-west lawn, but until those planstake shape, the panels will bestored on the grass in front ofthe school, according to the mu-ral project’s coordinator.

The two-day move beganJune 11, when crews from A andA Millwright and Rigging de-tached the panels from thebuilding, cutting the concrete atthe bottom, and lifted each oneindividually, for its journeyacross Chester Road.

A 65-ton crane lifted each14,000-pound mural panel, se-cured with a metal frame thatwas engineered on site, andplaced it on a flatbed truck, atopa stabilizing base that was weld-ed to the panel.

The slow-moving truckwound its way through the con-struction site, avoided utilitylines across Chester, and movedup the driveway to the new cam-pus with its 20-foot tall load. Agravel path was smoothed andtamped, and the singular pa-rade arrived at the northwestcorner of the campus, where thepanel was lifted off the truck bya second crane.

More welding secured thepanels, and the murals werelined up, Shakespearean senti-nels of literature, history andart.

The $108,750 project by TheEvans Group, which is demol-ishing the old high school build-

ing, was a culmination ofmonths of fund raising, engi-neering and negotiating amongthe Princeton Board of Educa-tion, construction crews and themural project’s organizer,Princeton alumna Kelli Reisen.

The panels were designed byCincinnati painter and muralistCarl Zimmerman in 1958.

Each of the seven panels de-picts one of the ages: infant,schoolboy, lover, soldier, jus-tice, old age and incapacity.

Reisen said she was gratefulto the many people it took to ac-complish the project, creditingthe construction crews, Prince-ton Education Foundation andfellow alumni.

“It was a concerted team ef-fort,” she said. “There havebeen so many impediments, andpeople have asked me if it wasworth it.

“The day they started tear-ing down Matthews Auditori-um, it was so gut wrenching tosee your history torn away,” Re-isen said. “When you saw thebuilding coming down, it wasjust them (the murals) againstthe sky.

“This is a physical reminder,a touchstone for us.”

Reisen will continue to ac-cept donations, to help fund thenext phase of the project, whichwill include engineering studiesand other expenses associatedwith the upkeep of the murals.Contributions can be made atany Fifth Third Bank location,for the Princeton EducationFoundation’s “Save the Murals”account.

A Wyoming church that began asa modern structure among Victorianelegance that joined two congrega-tions as one, will celebrate 50 yearsof spiritual and community growth.

Ascension and Holy Trinity Epis-copal Church, led by its pastor of fiveyears Eric Miller, offers religiousand community services from pre-school to meditation classes orga-nized by cancer survivors.

The church’s mission is defined as“a vital and growing faith communi-ty with overflowing worship ser-vices and Christian growth opportu-nities: a church with compassion-centered ministries through whichall find a place and take God’s loveinto the world.”

“Now is an amazing time to bepart of such a vibrant and intentionalfaith community,” Miller said. “Wehave a clear purpose, a picture ofwhat we want to see in the years tocome, and our Vestry, parish leader-ship team, is developing a strategicplan as the vehicle to get us where wewant to go.”

With projects from tutoring La-tino children to helping to stage a Ba-roque opera, parishioners volunteerat Valley Interfaith Food and Cloth-ing (VIFCC), help host homelessfamilies in Glendale through Inter-faith Hospitality Network, offer Sat-urday classes to train dogs to maketherapeutic visits to the ill throughCanines for Christ, and much more.

Ascension and Holy Trinity’s an-niversary celebration will includeinteractive workshops with ValleyInterfaith to better understand theculture of poverty and how the mid-dle class can help their neighbors.

The program is open to the public.An anniversary celebration Sun-

day, Sept. 20, will begin with a churchservice at 10 a.m. and wrap up withan adult dinner on Saturday, Oct. 10.

Wyoming church celebrates 50 years

THANKS TO ROSEMARY MILLER

The Rev. Eric Miller reads to children atAscension and Holy Trinity Church inWyoming.

Robert James Wilkins II isthe personification of high

energy andcommitmentto community.

He lives inSharonvilleand was nick-named Buckby his dad,Robert. Grow-ing up in Pleas-ant Ridge, heattended ele-mentaryschool and

graduated from New Wood-ward High School with fondmemories of his educationalexperiences in Cincinnati’spublic schools.

Because of his self-acquiredmusical acumen as a youngboy, he was able to get into TheWoodward Ensemble conduct-ed by Cincinnati Boy Choirfounder Bob McSpadden. Wil-kins was in the 40 memberchoral group, sang at the Cin-cinnati Club and various other

venues duringholiday seasons.

For two yearshe was presidentof the JuniorSafety Council.Although man-ager of the ju-nior high foot-ball team for ayear at Schroe-der Junior High,

he knew music was the musecalling his name.

Still too young to be on cam-era, his interest in meteorologynevertheless led him to workfor WLWT chief meteorologistTony Sands as a behind-the-scenes summertime replace-ment. In 1966 he joined the U.S.Air Force as a weathermanstationed in Missouri. He spenta year in Pleiku, Vietnam, arather “safe” area. There hetried to help train Vietnampeople in various professions,but bad feelings against theirown military collided with thedrive and motivation of the

U.S. military.Wanting to make the most of

his Vietnam experience, heworked in another section ofthe base in his off time placingradio calls so troops couldphone home. One hour beforehe was to leave for the U.S., theenemy really pounded his bun-ker, but he resolutely thought,“You won’t keep me from go-ing home!”

Having spent several yearsat UC majoring in meteorologyand then business, Wilkinsearned a business degree atCentral Missouri State Univer-sity. He was extremely activein his small Missouri town foralmost 30 years: church, lawenforcement, Chamber ofCommerce, Rotary Club, RedCross, named 1979 MissouriOutstanding Young Man byMissouri Jaycees and namedJunior Chamber InternationalSenator, a lifelong distinction.

Living his philosophy thatyour community service is therent you pay for the space you

occupy in your community, heremains active today: volun-teering his law enforcementexperience at Blue Ash, Shar-onville and Springdale policedepartments; recently gave his166th unit of O negative blood(used to help newborns whoseRhD blood type is incompat-ible with its mother’s); elder atBlue Ash Presbyterian Church;helped build St. Joseph Or-phanage playground; continualcleanup/rehab of WesleyanCemetery (abandoned Confed-erate, Civil War and Under-ground property in Northsideowned by VAMFAN/Children’sHospital); Millcreek Water-shed Council cleanup for waterconservation.

Pitching in gives him a goodfeeling and that is why whenVictoria Hurd requested heprovide the voice for herBroadway Extravaganzas atHilltop and Elm schools, hewas more than happy to do so.He thinks the Wyoming schoolsystem is most fortunate to

have her. His community giv-ing goes on.

He has volunteered to per-form at nursing home pro-grams with Ed Schmaltz andDee Martin (deceased).

Come with your requests toenjoy his performances ofshow tunes and old standardswith Ed at Sorrentos Restau-rant and Lounge in Reading.This is his personal therapy.Call him at 733-9009 to seewhen he will appear. He sang“The Star-Spangled Banner”and “God Bless America” lastJuly 4 with the Blue Ash-Mont-gomery Symphony Orchestra,in his opinion, a truly greatorchestra with professionals.

June 17 questionWhat is your favorite summer vacation

story (something that you personally ex-perienced)?

“One of my favorite summer vaca-tions was spent working to help poor peo-ple back in the hollers of Appalachiaworking very hard and sweating my be-hind off with a group of youth and adultsfrom our church. It was dusty, dirty, hot,sticky, buggy, spidery, yucky and hardwork but it was one of the more reward-ing times of my life seeing a bunch ofkids (including a couple of girly girls)never complain doing it, and more im-portantly seeing the sheer gratitudefrom the home owners for what we haddone for them. It was life lifting.”

M.J.F.

“Many years ago my employer need-ed me to assist a client in Florida. As I

could fly or drive, I drove and took myfamily. Needless to say this provided a‘free’ vacation for us. As luck would haveit I was not that busy working most daysand could also enjoy the stay. Vacationsare great, but free vacations are evenbetter. Go Figure!”

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 Coun-ty reader 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 cin-namon coffee cake, one thatcan be made with the littleones and mixed by hand.

The recipe I’m sharing to-day from that wooden box isjust such a recipe. It’s calledquick coffee cake but I gave itan additional name. This coffeecake is really easy to make andnot too sweet or gooey. Perfectwith an morning cup of tea!

Quick coffee cake akaNot a fancy coffee cake

How much is a heapingtablespoon? The butter shouldmound up on the spoon. Iadapted the recipe only slight-ly. I made this by hand with awhisk.

1 egg1/2 cup milk1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla1-1/2 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 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 incenter comes out clean. Don’tover bake 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, sliced thin2 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 and

onions 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,but don’t rinse. Meanwhile,mix sugar, vinegar and pick-ling spice in small saucepan.Bring to a simmer and cookuntil sugar dissolves. Let coolwhile pickles are soaking.After pickles have beendrained, add bell pepper, thenpour pickling brine over them.

WYOMING — Though he didnot get the Ohio Division II statetrack record in the 3,200 metersJune 6, Wyoming High School’sBen Stites might have set somerecords for most events packedinto a six-hour window.

Around 3 p.m. on June 6 atJesse Owens Memorial Stadiumin Columbus, the senior truckedeight laps around the oval in9:25.09 for the Division II cham-pionship. Roughly three hoursafter finishing first, he hadmade the trek southbound onI-71to Pendery Avenue to deliv-er the salutatorian speech atWyoming’s commencement.

After yet another wardrobechange, Stites added anotherevent to the day’s agenda.

“I went to Bunbury MusicFestival after that,” Stites said.“It was a pretty full day for meand a really good day. My coach(Travis Glendenning) and one ofmy teammates went to see theAvett Brothers. They were theheadliner Saturday night.”

Once Stites called it a night,sleep came easy.

“I just sort of laid in bed andwent, ‘Oh man!’” Stites said.

The distance specialist justran the one event at the statemeet. During the season, he wasCincinnati Hills League MVPrunning the 4x800, 800, 1,600and 3,200.

He took second in the 3,200 atthe regional meet and kicked itin for the championship in Co-lumbus.

“All season we worked reallyhard to keep me in the race untilthe last lap,” Stites said. “I havea pretty good kick naturally, sowe didn’t have to work on that.We worked on pure endurancefor laps five, six and sevenwhen your legs get tired. I wasable to hang in the front for thefirst seven laps and took thelead after that.”

His last two laps were hisfastest at 1:09.910 and 1:02.487 toreach the highest point of thepodium.

KENWOOD — Shortly afterthe celebratory dogpile on themound and their Division I tro-phy presentation, the MoellerHigh School baseball team gath-ered in Huntington Park’s leftfield 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, Christy,and father, Lucky, on to the fieldand into the photo. The champi-onship squad then flashed aunique sign, with their righthands forming an “L” and theirleft holding up three fingers.

It stood for Levi.

Levi Montoya, brother ofBailey 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 was Moell-er’s starting junior catcherwhen he got the tragic call thenight before the Crusaders’2014 semifinal game with Mas-sillon Jackson. Despite Levi’spassing, Bailey made the deci-sion to return to Columbus forthe 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 playingbaseball. That’s the one thing Ihave grown up with and loved,other than my family and God.”

Added Moeller head coachTim Held, “He didn’t want to lethis team down. He felt that obli-gation to come back as our start-ing catcher. I wasn’t expectingto see him the next morning. Hisgrandpa called and said he wason his way back.”

Held had already made ar-rangements to adjust his lineup,but allowed Montoya to catchwith a designated hitter in hisspot on offense. He told him if

his thoughts were taking himelsewhere, to let him know andthey would substitute.

“It was a very emotionalday,” Montoya recalled. “WhenMassillon Jackson got that thirdout, I kind of lost it.”

Over the summer months,the family organized Live LikeLevi, a charitable trust to re-member their lost loved one andhelp others. Montoya’s familyadopted the Sisu philosophy

that started with Levi’s Ger-mantown football team. It’s aterm of bravery and being ableto overcome adversity over in-credible odds.

“We take donations and givescholarships away,” Montoyasaid.

The Montoyas live in Far-mersville and have been regu-lars at the Montgomery County

WESTERN HILLS — Thissummer, the CincinnatiSteam are celebrating 10years of amateur summercollege baseball at MaxMcLeary Field on Fergu-son Avenue.

To celebrate, the Steamwill do as they’ve alwaysdone: lace ‘em up and play.

This season, they’ll dothat under first-time man-ager Pat Hyde, a formercatcher at Northern Ken-tucky University original-ly from Chicago. Hydewas a Steam assistant pri-or to earning the head gig.

Hyde’s a common com-modity for the Steam, whoemploy many aspiring forcareers in baseball.

“I want to put them in

the best position for themto be successful. I wantthese guys to come in forthe summer and by thetime they leave I wantthem to go back to theirschool better than whenthey left,” Hyde said. “Iwant them to grow andmature as people and alsoas baseball players.”

The Steam compete inthe Great Lakes SummerCollegiate League, one ofthe premier summerbaseball leagues in thecountry (arguably secondonly to Cape Cod), a wood-en bat league comprisedof players with remainingcollege eligibility. Rough-ly 17 locals play on theSteam this year, as well asguys from Michigan, Indi-ana, Illinois, Kentuckyand South Carolina.

After 11 games, theSteam are off to a 4-6-1start. At the plate, theSteam have been led byJake Richmond (Univer-sity of Cincinnati), who’shitting .444, and TreyGanns (Northern Ken-tucky), who’s hitting .351with eight RBI. Max Foley(Evansville) has been hotwith a .341average, 14 hitsand eight RBI.

On the mound, HunterDunn (Eastern Kentucky)has a 4.23 ERA and a team-high 17 innings with 23strikeouts. Nick Beard(Northern Kentucky) hasa 3.60 ERA and ninestrikeouts in 10 innings.

“We have a very talent-ed team. We’re veryyoung,” said Hyde. “Get-ting guys into the rightspot in the right situation.

You learn how to picktheir brain … you want tosee what their thoughtprocess is and their base-ball instinct.”

According to BradyLaber, Steam director ofbaseball operations, theSteam has had 32 playersdrafted by MLB teams.

Most notably, Adam Eatonwith the Chicago WhiteSox and Pittsburgh Pi-rates All-Star third base-man Josh Harrison.

“What I like doing isseeing guys come in dayone whether it’s summerball or college, just seeingthem develop into better

players and people,”Hyde said. “They maystruggle one day, but thebest thing about baseballis you’re gonna get to playthe next day. It’s nice see-ing guys grow from mis-takes and get better.”

Coming up at MaxMcLeary Field, the Steamhost Grand Lake Friday,June 26, on ALS night andon Thursday, July 2, theHamilton Joe’s come totown on fireworks night.

Shortly after being an-nounced as 3,200 champi-on, Stites began his secondkick of the day.

“After they presentedthe medals we were proba-bly out of there in 10 min-utes,” Stites said.

Though west of the Indi-anapolis Motor Speedway,Stites and family werelooking for that extra gear,deftly avoiding Ohio’s fin-est troopers while in full“Brickyard” mode.

In addition to his racepreparation and exit plan,Stites had to prepare his

commencement address inshort order in the week pri-or to the state meet. Therace for valedictorian/sa-lutatorian was closer thanhis 3,200 race, with the run-ner posting an equally im-pressive 4.74 GPA.

Runner-up with a 4.74 ishardly shameful and Stitesused his quick trip back totown wisely, practicing hisremarks.

With a brief cameo athome for a shower, theStites family made a gunlap to Wyoming.

“Everyone was sup-posed to be there at 5:30and I was there at 6,” Stitessaid. “The ceremony didn’tstart until 6:15. It was defi-nitely cutting it close.”

Stites now moves on toNorthwestern, where hisofficial running days areover. He plans to return tosports like basketball, soc-cer and tennis on an intra-mural level.

The biology major cannow boast of going out ontop. His sister Emily justparticipated in the NCAAChampionships in Oregonin the 10,000 meters forWilliam&Mary.

Perhaps the start of therunning “bug” can betraced to great-grandfa-ther Walter Pritchard. In1932, he competed in theOlympics in Los Angeles inthe steeplechase.

Fair showing hogs raisedon their farm. Part of Bai-ley’s healing process camelast August when heshowed one of his brother’shogs. Bailey himself hashad Herefords and Cross-bred Barrows on displaysince he was 9 years old.

“Levi was big into 4-Hand so am I,” Montoya said.“I took one of his hogs andshowed it at the countyfair. It won reserve grandchampion and was in mem-ory of Levi. All of the mon-ey (about $2,000) was do-nated to the Live Like Levifoundation.”

The 4-H organizationstands for head, heart,hands and health. Thebackground has helpedMontoya in leadership,public speaking and hardwork – all great attributesof a top-notch catcher.

When pre-spring prac-tice rolled around again atMoeller, Montoya was de-termined to get to Colum-bus and return with the toptrophy. The team was alsoinspired and played to“Live like Levi.”

As the season pro-gressed, it became appar-ent the Crusaders couldhave the stars alignedagain. They overcame in-juries to a pair of 2014starters in Joe Vranesicand Bryan Soth. Severaltimes, Montoya felt hisbrother’s presence.

“I hit a double in the re-gional final game (againstMason) to move us to thestate semifinal game,”Montoya said. “Coach An-dy Nagel said he was stand-ing at first and the cloudskind of parted when I hitthat double. It made metear up. We just opened thefloodgates (in Columbus). Ithink for sure he was defi-nitely watching us.”

Before Christy and

Lucky Montoya joined theMoeller baseball familyfor the victorious picture,Lucky, a former footballplayer in New Mexico, lift-ed Tim Held in the air in ju-bilation.

Held was thrilled for themoment and thrilled forthe Montoyas.

“The whole year thatfamily’s been through withthe grieving process, to beable to capture the champi-onship when we dedicatedthe whole season to Levi isa great feeling,” Held said.

Though his 4-H days arecoming to an end, BaileyMontoya will continue hisbaseball career at the Uni-versity of Dayton. Gonewill be the hour-plus com-mutes to and from Moeller.

“Dayton is 30 minutescloser,” Montoya said. “Alot of the recruits in theDayton program are reallygood players and thecoaches are really goodguys.”
