WEST PRICE HILL —More than six decades af-ter helping liberateFrance during World WarII, Robert Zwick has re-ceivedthehighestdecora-tion the French govern-ment bestows.
The lifelongWestSiderwas presented the FrenchLegion of Honor medalduring a ceremony Mon-day,Nov. 25, at St.WilliamChurch, where he is a pa-rishioner.
“It is a fantastic honor.I’m very humbled,” saidZwick, who served in theU.S.Armyduring thewar.“It is awesome for me tobe here this morning.”
The 88-year-old DelhiTownship resident grewup in East Price Hill andattended Elder HighSchool before transfer-ring and graduating fromthe city’s aviation highschool in 1943.
Immediately aftergraduation, he enlisted inthe military.
“Like every other guy,Iwantedtocometo thede-fense of the country,”Zwick said. “That was thefeeling among mostyoung men at the time.”
Wanting to avoid thewater,hesignedupfor theU.S. Army.
“I didn’t know if I’d bein the Air Corps or what,but I ended up in anArmyinfantry division,” hesaid.
He completed trainingat Camp Gruber and FortSill, and said he wasshipped overseas toEurope in January 1945
with the Army’s 42nd In-fantry Division, whichwas called the RainbowDivision.
From January toMarch 1945, Zwick saidhis division made its wayacross France. He servedwith a field artillery bat-talion, responsible for po-sitioning and firing gunsand howitzers.
“Then there was a bigoffensive and theGermanline was broken open,” hesaid.
His division crossedintoGermany, and he saidthey participated in thecapture of such cities asSchweinfurt, Nurem-burg, Heidelberg, Wurz-burg andMunich.
“After we crossed theRhineRiver our division’sresponsibility was to goup and down the Danube
River, clearing all theGerman positions,” hesaid.
Looking back on thewar, Zwick, who reachedthe rank of corporal be-fore returning home toCincinnati in April 1946,said it’s amazing how thecountry came together.
“Before the war, herewe were with a militaryforcethathad100,000peo-ple in it,” he said. “And itgrew to 15 million people,men and women. Geewhiz, and we weren’t pro-fessional soldiers. Wewere farmers and teach-ers and mechanics. Wewere trained and welearned to becomeprofes-sional soldiers realquick.”
The Rev. Andrew Um-berg, pastor of St. Wil-liam, pinned the Legion ofHonor medal on Zwickduring the award ceremo-ny, which was conductedin front of St. WilliamSchool students.
Umberg told the stu-dents patriotism is impor-tant, and said ever sinceChristianitywas legalizedby the Roman empireserving one’s country hasbeen an important part ofChristian piety.
“Civil governmentsneed to be protected. Citi-zens of a country need tobe protected,” he said.
“If you want to honorthe Greatest Generation,be loyal to your parents,your pastor and yourteachers,” he said. “Thenthe word freedom willhave a genuine meaning,not just an empty word.”

Underclassmen at OakHills High School recent-ly learned how they cantake a stand and preventbullying.
In the month of Octo-ber, freshmen and sopho-mores were presented afour-part series on bully-ing during their TartanTime, a one-hour home-room students have oncea week.
The series was con-ducted as part of NationalBullying PreventionMonth and was aimed ateducating students aboutwhat constitutes bullyingand what they can do tostop it.
“Anti-bullying is some-thing I’m very passionateabout,” said AmyMcNabb, a psychologistat the high school.
SheandOakHillsmathteacher Greg Rolfesworked together to orga-
nize the series, which shesaid offered students seg-ments on cyberbullying,how to recognize bullyingand how to intervenewhen bullying is takingplace.
The final segment fea-tured a presentation byKeenanWest, aCincinnatinative and motivationalspeaker who focuses onanti-bullying and bullyprevention.
“Bullying isn’t some-thing that we’ve ad-dressed in a largemannerlike this before,”McNabbsaid.
“We decided to starttalking about it and em-power our kids to stop it.”
In a school as large asOak Hills, even though ithas many great studentsand vigilant teachers, shesaid instances of bullyingare bound to happen.
She said bullyingdoesn’t discriminate andit takes place in everyschool.
“I think it’s a problemeverywhere,” she said.
The series deliveredthe message to studentsthat preventing bullyingbegins with them as indi-viduals, and encouragedstudents to stand up fortheir classmates whenthey see acts of bullyingand also tell adults andteachers when they rec-ognize it’s happening,McNabb said.
Students were encour-aged to complete a surveyabout theprogramwhenitwrapped up, which shesaid asked students ifthey enjoyed it, if theyfeel better prepared tostop bullying and whatthey learned from the se-ries.
“We’ve been gettingvery positive feedbackfrom students,” she said.
Oak Hills staff arelooking into presentingadditional anti-bullyingprogramslater thisschoolyear, she said.

GREEN TWP. — The Oak Hillsboys’ swim team continues toprove they are the best of thewest.
For the third consecutiveseason theHighlanderswon theBest of the West swim meet atGamble Nippert YMCA heldDec.17,knockingoff the likesofLa Salle, Fairfield, Elder andTaylor.
Senior Brian Walker tookhome the 200-yard individualmedley title,while fellowseniorNate Smith was crowned 100-yard backstroke champion.Smith and Walker were alsopart of the 200-yard medley re-lay and400-yard freestyle relayteam’s who were also crownedchampions.
“The guys were really excit-edabout it,” coachKatieHuntersaid. “It’s one of their favoritemeets and obviously, on theWest Side (of Cincinnati) it’s abig meet. We tried some kids insome different (events) and itworked out for us. Everybodystepped up and had a goodmeet.”
The strategyofmatching thebest-of-the-best against eachother paid dividends for OakHills, as Hunter’s team nevertrailed throughout the meet.
“It was amatter of looking attheother teamsand justmaneu-vering around and placing peo-ple against other teams’ swim-mers with strengths andspreading points out evenly,”the coach said. “We looked atwhere their swimmers were
andwewere able to put some ofour better swimmers againstthem and earn some points.”
Smith and Walker join agroup of seniors, which in-cludes Leland Hoffman, Jona-thanWohlfrom,NickMcManus,Spencer Dennis and AlexBudke. They have been swim-ming together for four yearsnow and will always be able tosay they are three-time Best ofthe West champions.
“They were all definitely ex-cited,”Huntersaidof thegroup.“They were excited they closedit out on (a winning) note.”
Each and every one of theseven seniors have impressedHunter this year and set a stan-dard for future Highlanderswimmers.
“That group of guys has al-
ways been hard-working, moti-vated and dedicated,” she said.“To say anyone has stepped upmore than another, they’ve allreally done that.”
As the season hits the mid-way point and the Christmasbreakcomes toanend, theprep-aration for besting their fifth-place finish at last season’sGreater Miami Conferencemeet is underway.
“We are finishing up ourChristmas break training andthe guys are working reallyhard the two weeks we’ve beenout of school.Whenwe get backwe will start focusing on speedwork and sprint-type stuff aswe come down the ladder andget ready for the tournamentmeets.”

PRICE HILL — The jolly manwith the white beard and redsuit was extra kind to the ElderHigh School basketball teamthis year.
After opening Santa’s pre-sentsDec. 25, thePanthers trav-eled to Florida Dec. 26 wherethey played three games inthree days to win the Fort Lau-derdale Holiday Classic.
“Itwasa lotoffun,”coachJoeSchoenfeld said. “We playedpretty well and getting the win,especially coming off a loss (toWalnut Hills Dec. 21) in our lastgame before we left. It was funto get back on track and getsome wins down there.”
Junior Brad Miller wasnamed the tournament’s MostValuablePlayer and led thePan-thers to a come-from-behind 62-54 victory over Atlantic in thesemifinal game Dec. 27. He washeld scoreless in the first quar-ter, but exploded for 27 pointsover the final three quarters.
“He’s playing with a lot ofconfidence and he understandswhat we’re looking for him todo,” Schoenfeld said of Miller.“… He’s a little stronger thisyear so I think he’s able to takethe ball to the basket a littlemore and finish through contactand do more offensively thanjust be a shooter.”
Senior Devin Pike wasnamed to the all-tournamentteam and is second on the teamwith 13 points per game andranks third in the GreaterCatholic League with 7.5 re-bounds per contest.
“… I think nowbeing a seniorhe feels a little more comfort-able and confident in the post,”Schoenfeld said. “… He looksgood and looks more relaxedand poised and he realizes he’s a
load (in the lowpost).Hecanfin-ish with either hand, he canshoot,he’shit some3’s forus thisyear, so he can do a little bit ofeverything.”
As crazy as it sounds, muchof the Panthers’ success (7-1 asof Jan. 2) can be attributed to a79-70winoverPrinceton in theirseason opener. Trailing by dou-ble digits in the first half, thePanthers dug out of the hole giv-ing them some momentum tostart the season.
“It sounds crazy to say thefirst half of basketball in yourfirst gamecanbekindof crucialforyou,but forus I think itwas,”the coach said. “… It was a big
confidencebooster thatwewereable to (comeback).”
It’s impossible to say if theearly momentum of the seasonwill carry over throughout, butSchoenfeld hopes the bond cre-ated between the team, coachesand parents in Florida will leadto another Christmas presentcome February andMarch.
“We have a bunch of guys indifferent grades and the kidsspent time together, as well asthe parents, so it gave us a greatchance tohangout, socializeandbonda little bit. Itwasdefinitelya good experience and we’ll seewhat it means, as far as thegames go, whenwe come back.”

Dec. 11 questionDo you think Ohio legislators
should approve a bill to allowback-to-school shoppers to buycertain items free of state and lo-cal sales taxes? Why or why not?
“Talk about complexity!Howdowe ID someonewho fitsthis description online or in thestore?
“Then, consider the admini-strationof thisat thestore level;another thing for the minimumhourly wage clerk to handle.
“Then, what interest groupwould be next in line for specialconsideration?
“We should be looking forways to simplify our tax sys-temsandthisproposal failsmis-erably.We have awide range ofprices available to shoppers,some of which will meet theirbudget limitations.Abigding tothis idea.”

Dec. 25 questionShould Ohio allow online vot-
er registration, which would al-low for an immediate cross checkof license records and help pre-vent illegal voting? Why or whynot?
No responses.

sory panel’s recommendations toend the government’s systematiccollection of logs of all Ameri-cans’ cellular phone calls and re-quire those to be kept in privatehands “for queries and datamining”onlybycourtorder?Whyor why not?
“We are definitely in an 1984epic realty show. Unfortunate-ly, it is not a 'show' but the cen-tral government intrusion intoour lives.
“The recent U.S. DistrictCourtopinionwasonthemoney.Eroding our private lives is un-acceptable.Thisstartedwhen9/11caughtmostofusbysurprise.Many documents have shownthat the present wholesale spy-ing on citizens would not haveprevented that tragedy.

The drive along Interstate275 is the scene of a battle-field. Thousands of giant sol-diers are in a battle to savetheir lives. Unfortunately, theenemies are winning. With toomany forces working againstthem, the soldiers don’t standa chance. They need replace-ments.
The drive, that once provid-ed an awesome view of expan-sive greenery, is now a sceneof barren and broken limbsand masses of dead or dyingtrees. Throughout the Tristateregion, thousands of trees arecaught in a battle against dis-ease, insect infestations andinvasive species. The emeraldash borer, an invasive beetlewhich bores into trees anddisrupts the flow of nutrients,is now attacking the nine spe-cies of native ash throughoutthe region.
In total, more than 20 mil-lion trees will inevitably belost to the emerald ash borerin the Tristate region withinthe next 10 years.
Other insects are alsothreatening the tree canopy.In Clermont County, the Asianlonghorned beetle is respon-
sible for theloss of 9,000trees. Al-though thisbeetle is ex-pected to becontained anderadicated, ithas causedsignificantdamage, andits potential toreturn re-quires con-
tinued vigilance. Another newthreat is the walnut twig bee-tle, which carries a fungusfatal to black walnut trees.
Insect infestations are notthe only threats to the region’strees. Disease and other in-vasive species also endangerlocal forests. With the in-crease of invasive plants likehoneysuckle and the flower-ing pear, forests can’t regener-ate and open areas can’t re-forest as they have in the past.The tree seedlings that dosurvive often fall victim todeer, whose growing pop-ulation consume young plantsbefore they have a chance tomature. With all these factorsworking against them, trees
and forests are strugglingWhat can be done to keep
the trees we have and replacethe ones that are lost? TheOhio-Kentucky-Indiana Re-gional Council of Govern-ments, the Cincinnati Zoo &Botanical Garden, the GreenPartnership for Greater Cin-cinnati and the Green Umbrel-la have joined forces to createTaking Root, a broad-basedcampaign to address the cur-rent and historic loss of theregion’s tree canopy. Througheducation and improved man-agement, the campaign hopesto better maintain existingtrees and also to plant 2 mil-lion trees by 2020 (one foreveryone in the region).
This is not the first time theregion’s trees have been vic-tims of a battle. In the late1800s, much of the region hadbeen de-forested. It was dur-ing this time when Cincinnatibecame a prominent leader inthe movement to conserve thenation’s forestry. In 1875, Cin-cinnati natives formed theAmerican Forestry Associa-tion. Seven years later, theFirst Annual Forestry Con-gress was held in Cincinnati.
It called for “the discussion ofsubjects relating to tree plant-ing: the conservation, manage-ment, and renewal of forests.”Two days later, the superinten-dent of Cincinnati schools,John B. Peaslee, closed allschools and every Cincinnatichild went to an abandonedvineyard and planted trees.That vineyard is now EdenPark.
In order to overcome theloss of the region’s tree cano-py, the community must onceagain come together. TakingRoot is leading the battle tosave the region’s treesthrough a collaborative effortin which communities will beprovided opportunities to jointhe fight and help ensure thattrees come out the winner.

The four pillars of the mission atSeton High School include faith,academic excellence, leadership
and service.Early in the first quarter, students
and staff illustrated service by volun-teering at 35 locations throughout theGreater Cincinnati area.
The day of service, planned by Se-ton’s community service coordinatorSandy Howe, SC, was held in conjunc-tion with the all-school summer readingassignments.
“The morning was spent volunteer-ing, and the afternoon involved reflec-tions and activities that carried out thethemes of the summer reading novelsand the spirit of sharing Christ’s lovewith others,” Howe said.
English department chairwomanSusan Hollenbach coordinated the all-school summer reading program as wellas the afternoon events on the service
day.“The purpose of Seton's summer
reading program is to come together asa community in the beginning of theschool year under a common theme,”Hollenbach said. “This year's theme hasrevolved around diversity, acceptance,and empathy as students read about andresearched how people cope with dis-abilities or impediments and the supportstructures people need to help them leadfull and productive lives.”
“The day of service gave studentsand staff members an opportunity tolearn more about various local serviceagencies that provide those neededsupport structures to people who faceadversity,” Hollenbach said. “By part-nering the Community Service Depart-ment and the English Department to-gether, the students and staff could putour faith into action and reflect upon it.”
Senior Katelyn Walter was looking
forward to this event and felt even moreempowered afterwards.
“Last year we found out about ourall-school read and the service day, and Iwas very excited,” Walter said. “I hadthe chance to go to the Homeless Coali-tion. We took part in a support fair therewhere they showcased job opportunitiesfor the homeless. We helped with thefair as well as greeted people and madethem feel welcome. It was very reward-ing and beneficial.”
Elizabeth Vorholt, counselor at SetonHigh School, went to Kenzie’s Closetwith a group of students for the serviceday. They helped to stuff bags withmakeup, small handbags and hygieneproducts.
“Every year Kenzie’s Closet helpshundreds of girls in the area fell likeprincesses when they can’t afford thingslike dresses for prom. It was nice to be avery small part of that,” Vorholt said.
“This is the first time that we havedone a full student body and staff ser-vice opportunity, and it was an awesomeexperience to be out doing serviceknowing that we had members from theSeton community throughout all ofGreater Cincinnati,” Vorholt said.“Christ calls each of us to love and serveothers and Seton High School certainlydid that.”
Junior Cierra Watkins was gratefulfor this opportunity and said these expe-riences instill qualities within her thatshe knows will guide her throughout herlife.
“Having opportunities to serve othersmeans the world to me and I know that Iwant to continue to serve throughout mylife,” Watkins said. “It also makes mecherish everything in my life that I havebeen blessed with."

JANUARY 8, 2014 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • B3LIFE
I wasflippingthroughmy gour-met foodmagazinesand twoitems keptpopping upas “new-bies” for2014. One
is the herb fennel, inparticular bronze fennel.I had to chuckle sinceI’ve grown both greenfennel, which produces adelicious bulb, and alsobronze, which is grownfor its leaves and seeds,for years.
Fennel contains vita-min C and potassium,good for immune andnervous systems, and theheart. In fact, I just fea-tured a fennel/garliccrust on pork roast on mycable show “Love Startsin the Kitchen.” Watch iton TimeWarner localaccess.
The other trend iskale, but not the old-fashioned curly kale likeGrandma grew. Kalevarieties are almost end-less. You’ll find lots ofrecipes, including thetwo I mention in my pizzarecipe. Kale is an easycool crop, so grow somecome spring.
I’d also like to issue aformal invitation for youto share your favoriterecipes and tips alongwith the story that goeswith them. I’m not partic-ular, so whatever you liketo cook, whether it’sfancy, plain or in be-tween is fine by me. Ifyou send along a photo,so much the better!
Whole wheat pizzawith garlic, greensand two cheeses
We grow kale, includ-ing Locinato/Tuscan/Dinoand Russian kale. Bothare milder tasting thancurly kale. Mixing kalewith Swiss chard or spin-ach tones down the tasteof kale. Greens like thesecontain nutrients essen-tial for tissue growth andrepair, and even yourpicky eaters will likethis. You can use justchard or spinach if youlike.
1pre-baked 12 oz. Boboliwhole wheat pizza shell
2-3 teaspoons finely mincedgarlic
3-4 tablespoons extra virginolive oil
Pizza sauce to coverEnough small Swiss chard orspinach and kale leaves tocover (or large leaves,chopped)
6-8 oz. Fontina cheese,shredded
3-4 oz. crumbled goatcheese
Optional: Sliced tomatoes,chives
Preheat oven to 450degrees. Stir garlic intoolive oil. Brush overcrust. Top with pizzasauce and greens, over-lapping leaves so entiresurface is covered.Sprinkle with cheeses.Slice cherry or regulartomatoes and lay on top ifyou like. Bake 10 minutesor until cheese melts.
Tips from Rita’skitchen
Substitute Gorgonzolafor goat cheese.
Priscilla Pancoast’sheirloom cornpudding
Wow – talk about lotsof requests for this! Theoriginal recipe camefrom Priscilla’s mother’scousin, who was fromNiles, Ohio. “This almosthas a cult following,” saidPriscilla. Check out myblog for more corn pud-ding recipes, includingthe famous BeaumontInn’s corn pudding, alongwith an old-fashionedversion of this treasuredside dish.
2 eggs1 stick of butter1 packageJiffy corn muffin mix
8 oz. grated cheddar8 oz. sour cream1 can yellow corn with juice,approximately 15 oz.
1 can cream-style corn,approximately 15 oz.
Preheat oven to 350degrees. Melt butter,beat eggs slightly, thenmix everything togetherand put in greased 21/2quart casserole and bakefor about 45 minutes.
Tips from readers’kitchens
Add extra flavor tobox cakes. NancyMauch, a Clermont Coun-ty reader and mom of myformer editor, LisaMauch, shares this tip:
For box cakes, substitutemilk or juice for liquidcalled for. “Adds anotherelement of flavor,” Nan-cy said.
Buying blue cheesein bulk. Dave, a loyalreader, said he found afive-pound bag of bluecheese crumbles at GFS(Gordon Food Service)for $19. He made batchesof Nell Wilson’s bluecheese dressing and waslooking for an affordableway to do it.
Tomato preserverecipe a big hit. LanaKay, a Northern Ken-tucky reader, made myaunt Margaret’s recipelast summer. “I was sur-prised howmany people
had never tasted them,”she said. Lana shared itwith an Amish vendor ata farmer’s market and Ihave no doubt it willbecome a big seller. To-mato preserves are an-other trendy, but reallyold-fashioned, condimentthat chefs will be featur-ing this year.
