CHEVIOT — Local hardwarestores lick their chops whenthe winter weather forecastcalls for accumulating snow.

“Snow is really good forbusiness,” Bernie Small, own-er of Small’s Hardware inCheviot, said.

“If it’s 50 degrees in Janu-ary, I’m standing around.”

The snowfall totals in thepast few weeks, plus additionalsnow predicted for March 4,have kept Small and his em-ployees busy.

He said they’ve been sellingquite a lot of salt, ice melt andsnow shovels.

“We’re trying to sell whatwe can before spring gets herein a couple of weeks,” he said,in between helping close to adozen late morning customerswho came through the doorWednesday for winter sup-plies.

“We sold out of shovels.”The store received a new

shipment of shovels March 4,albeit a smaller order than usu-al, just in case.

“Once you get to this stageof the season, you don’t knowhow much to order,” Smallsaid.

Salt and shovels have alsobeen flying off the shelves atMcCabe hardware in DelhiTownship.

“That’s all we’re doing thismorning,” store manager BobSteinbach said Wednesday.

“It’s usually kind of quiethere in the morning, but todaywe’ve been steady.”

He estimates they’ve soldbetween 1,000 to 2,000 bags ofsalt and hundreds of snow

shovels in the past few weeks.McCabe’s also received a

shipment of shovels March 4.“They’ll probably all be

gone tonight or tomorrow,”Steinbach said.

Small said he’s sold roughly50 skids of salt this winter, hav-ing had to re-order a few times.

He said he’s been buying

salt from the same supplier formany years and they are al-ways quick to reload him whenhis inventory is running low.It’s an advantage he has overbig retailers like Home Depotand Lowe’s, who he said stock acertain amount of salt for theseason and typically don’t re-order when they sell out.

“That benefits us,” he said.While this winter’s sales

pale in comparison to last win-ter due to last year’s polar vor-tex, Small said the snowstorms the past few weekshave helped business.

“The first two months ofwinter weren’t very harsh, butthe last month seems to havebrought winter all at once,” hesaid.

Steinbach said McCabe’shas also definitely seen an up-tick in customers during thepast month. He said the storenearly sold out of its supply ofsnow blowers when the lastsnow storm hit.

“The snow is very good forbusiness,” he said. “Weather isa big deal.”

Erwin “Erv” Hoinke Jr.used to say he bowledhis way out of the Kore-

an War. What’s certain is hebowled his way into thehearts of many in Cincinnatiand beyond.

The West Side legend ele-vated his family’s bowlingbusiness to new heights, add-ing credibility and profes-sionalism to the entire bowl-ing industry. He died Feb. 16.He was 82.

Mr. Hoinke’s name willlive on in the popular HoinkeClassic, an annual amateurbowling tournament at West-ern Bowl that has drawn tensof thousands of bowlers toCincinnati for more than 65years.

“Erv was a true visionaryin our business,” said FrankDeSocio, executive directorof the Bowling Proprietors’

Association of America. “Herevolutionized the tourna-ment business. He did thatby being credible. When Ervwas involved, you knew itwould be run with profes-sionalism, and that radiatedto other people to do thesame thing.”

Mr. Hoinke was raised inCheviot, in a home built byhis father. Erwin Hoinke Sr.also built Hoinke Lanes onGlenway Avenue.

The younger Erwin grewinto a large man – and a tre-mendous bowler. He becamea member of the U.S. armedforces team when he wassent overseas in the KoreanWar, and as part of the teambowled in Korea, Japan andHawaii before returning fora competition in the UnitedStates, said his son, RussHoinke.

GREEN TWP. — OakHills High School teach-er Amanda Rice is open-ing her classroom todemonstrate an educa-tion method known asflipped learning.

Flipped learning is aprocess in which theteacher’s lecture is de-

liveredoutside ofthe tradi-tionalclasstime, via avideo stu-dentsview ontheir own.

Class time is used foractive problem solvingby students and one-on-one or small group tu-toring with the teacher.

Students can watchthe short lectures asmany times as neededto grasp the content andthen come to classready to jump into thelesson, answer ques-tions, work on collabo-rative projects and ex-plore the content fur-ther. Teachers are em-bracing flippedlearning in elementary,secondary schools andhigher education for alldisciplines.

Rice, who teachesAdvanced Placementpsychology at OakHills, is hosting an openhouse in her classroomFriday, March 13.Flipped classroom openhouses are being held in15 states and 12 coun-tries around the worldthat day in conjunctionwith Digital LearningDay.

The open houses areintended to shed lighton the flipped learningapproach and encour-age other teachers andadministrators to giveflipped learning a try intheir own schools anddistricts. Local publicand private schoolteachers and adminis-trators are invited to at-tend, and students areencouraged to attendwith their teachers.

Rice has been flip-ping her class for threeyears. The juniors andseniors in her classestake notes from a set oflecture videos or an as-signed reading eachnight and bring to classthe knowledge theygained from their at-home work.

In class, students an-alyze case studies, con-duct demonstrationsand work on high-orderthinking skills to under-stand the content and besuccessful on the APpsychology exam. Sinceflipping her classroom,Rice has seen improve-ments in her class, in-cluding more studentaccountability and im-proved scores on the APexam.

Rice’s open housesessions at Oak Hills,3200 Ebenezer Road,will run from 9:50 a.m.to 10:45 a.m., 11:15 a.m.to 12:05 p.m. and 1 p.m.to 2 p.m. There will be aquestion and answersession from 2 p.m. to 3p.m.

military) decided not tosend him back to Korea,”Russ Hoinke said, with achuckle.

Mr. Hoinke eventuallytook over his father’sbowling business andgrew the Hoinke Classic –which his father startedduring World War II topromote the sport andwar bonds – into the larg-est private bowling tour-nament in the U.S. He methis wife, Carole, there, en-amored by her athleti-cism, Russ Hoinke said.

The tournament hit itspeak in the early ’80s,when roughly 55,000 indi-vidual bowlers signed up,his son said.

One of Mr. Hoinke’scalling cards was hiskindness. He spent rough-ly 60 hours a week at the68-lane Western Bowl in

Green Township after hisfamily took over manage-ment and took the time tosay hello to everyone, hisson said.

“If my Dad didn’t likeyou, you had to be a jerk,”Russ Hoinke joked.

The Hoinke family ranWestern Bowl for 40years until it nearlyclosed in 2009,, stunted bythe recession, waning in-terest in competitivebowling and a smokingban.

A sale was finalized inthe eleventh hour, andWestern Bowl is now op-erated by another owner.

Through the years, Mr.Hoinke was always sup-porting talented bowlersand bowling proprietors,DeSocio said.

“There were manypeople who would call Ervto get advice,” DeSociosaid. “If you had an issuewith a league, you wouldpick up a phone and hewould offer you advice nomatter if you had 10 cen-ters or one.”

An estimated 1,000people attended his funer-al service last week, RussHoinke said.

In addition to his wifeand son, survivors in-clude daughter JenniferKlekamp and sons Tracyand Christopher Hoinke,all of Green Township; 13grandchildren; and fourgreat-grandchildren.

Memorials can bemade to the League forAnimal Welfare, 4193Taylor Road, Batavia,Ohio 45103.

Houser died in 2014 and hadserved as one of the instructorsin the woodworking class formany years, teaching studentshow to use power tools and sawswhile completing three differ-ent projects. His class wasloved by many and continues onin his name.

The 21 enrichment classesincluded guitar, woodworking,cooking, crime scene investiga-tion, jewelry making, cake dec-orating and more. A total of 21classes were offered, and 270students participated. The pro-gram is organized by PTO vol-unteers Jen Feeley and TamaraBirck.

MARCH 11, 2015 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • A7NEWS

The first sign that spring is almosthere appears in our woods. Dottedthroughout are wild yellow aconite and

bell shaped snowdropflowers. This year I spiedthe yellow aconite peakingthrough the snow. Thesnowdrops? They wereinvisible.

Another sign thatspring is approaching isSt. Patrick’s Day. I

I love the legend thataccompanies the greatsaint. In the fifth-century,St. Patrick went to Ire-

land, killed the snakes and convertedthe people. What were they eating? Veg-gies like leeks and cabbage, both ofwhich are green! Think about it. Thefood pyramid is bottom heavy withgreen leafy veggies and good root vege-tables like potatoes, so the Irish werehealthy eaters way back when.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen:Go fish! Stay positive: Don’t overlook

omega-3s in “fatty” fish like salmon andmackerel. These fish are good for thebrain.

Tuck into corned beef like Irish Tender corned beef and cabbage

Corned beef uses a traditional brisket cut of beef that isbrined with vinegar and pickling spices. The term “corned”comes from the salt used to cure and prepare the beef. Thebrisket is a cut of beef that can be very tough so it benefitsfrom long, slow cooking. By using your slow cooker the beefwill become very tender.

So, why does corned beef look pink even after it’scooked? It’s the curing process - the curing salt used is called“pink salt”. When you buy a brisket that’s already “corned,” itwill have been put through the marinating process with apacket of spices included. Serve with a side of champ. Thatrecipe is on my website abouteating.com.

5 carrots cut in large pieces1 large onion, cut in large wedges2-3 bay leaves1 nice head cabbage, cored and cut into large pieces1 package corned beef brisket with spice & herb packet

included2-1/2 cups apple juice and 1/2 cup waterHorseradish for garnish

Spray inside of slow cooker. Lay vegetables on bottom.Place brisket on top. Pour liquid over all, along with spicesfrom packet. If you want, put spices in a tea ball or tie incheesecloth or a coffee filter. That way, you won’t be pickingwhole spices out of your teeth. If you make a spice packet, it inthe cooker. Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4, until meat isfork tender and can be sliced easily. Remove bay leaves beforeserving. Serve with a dollop of horseradish.

St. Pat’s green two-tiered Jello ice creamsquares

I pulled this out of my St. Patrick’s day file and it’s one ofthose Kraft recipes that keeps its appeal year after year. Let thekids help. I put this in a 9x13 pan and just cut it into squares.You can cut into shamrocks or other fun shapes.

2 pkgs. 3 oz each, lime jello1 envelope unflavored gelatin - I used Knox4 cups boiling water3-4 cups vanilla ice cream

Mix jello, gelatin and boiling water together until jelloand gelatin are dissolved. Immediately stir in ice cream and stiruntil dissolved. Pour into pan and let sit overnight in frig tojell. As it jells, the ice cream floats to the top, making it two-tiered.

Think of other themed holidays to make this with differ-ent flavors of jello, ice cream, etc.

George Remus, with hisopulent Hermosa Avenue resi-dence and $25 million a yearbootlegging empire, is legend-ary on the wEst Side of Cincin-nati. He may have owned 10distilleries of his own, but hekept Wiedemann Brewery, onthe other side of the river, inbusiness making 50,000 barrelsof beer a year.

Here on the West Side, thestory of Remus’s cohort CarlWiedemann is less well known.

Carl became vice presidentof the family business. Hisscandal-filled life was one ofheavy-drinking, horse-bettingand womanizing. Heir to thefamily fortune, he built a win-ning stable of 20 race horses.

One night in 1921 Carl and alady friend went to Lexingtonfor the races. That night thelady fell to her death from afifth floor window. Carl ex-plained to the authorities thatshe was prone to dizzy spellsand fell while sitting on theopen window ledge. Unwillingto charge Carl with her death,the police ruled the death anaccident.

In 1924, a stage and screenactress, Allyn King, was ro-mantically linked to Carl. Ru-mors spread of their engage-ment, but he denied it saying,

“I am neither married nor

engaged.” Kingkilled herselfin 1930.

In 1927,federal agentsstopped a Wie-demann truck.Finding 16half-barrels ofbeer, theyraided thebrewery wherethey found

3,500 barrels of beer waiting tobe shipped. Carl, his father,Charles, and others werecharged with illegal brewingand distribution. The brewerywas seized and padlocked. Con-fiscated business records alleg-edly showed that Wiedemannhad been illegally brewing50,000 barrels of beer per year.

Soon after, the IRS leveledcharges of tax evasion.

Fighting back, Wiedemann’sattorneys brought bribery alle-gations against the federalagents. A brewery employeetestified that agents who seizedthe truck Jan. 29 stated thewhole thing could go away for$15,000. His testimony resultedin the indictment of a prohibi-tion administrator and threeothers for allegedly offering toundermine the case.

In 1928, two nights beforethe trial began, Carl wrecked

into another car while intoxi-cated. On the second day of thetrial, he didn’t show up andpolice found him drunk, in asaloon.

With that, five defendantschanged their pleas to guilty.Carl was given two years inprison and a $10,000 fine.Charles, seriously ill, receiveda $10,000 fine. The others re-ceived fines between $2,500and $5,000.

At sentencing, Carl de-clared: “My term of confine-ment will teach me a greatlesson. When I am released, Ihope to be the man I was yearsago and not what I am today.”

He served eight months andwas never again active in run-ning the brewery. The IRSsettled the back taxes with a$15,000 fine. With prohibitionending, the brewery reopenedand remained in business foranother 50 years.

Cincinnati is one of the bestplaces in the country to own apet. With tremendous outdoorspaces, amazing health carefacilities, and affordable main-tenance costs, there are dozensof reasons why now might bethe best time to consider add-ing a pet to your family.

Pet ownership has tripled inthe past 40 years, with morethan 160 million pets in theUnited States, but there arestill significant numbers ofanimals that need homes, espe-cially those available in ourlocal shelters and rescues.

Despite such significantgrowth in pet ownership, esti-mates show that only 30 per-cent of all pets are adoptedfrom animal shelters, leaving ahuge population unadopted –nearly 3 million shelter ani-mals are euthanized annuallyin the United States.

The problem is not overpop-ulation; instead it is a call-for-action to educate the communi-ty that we can make a differ-ence. Research from The Hu-mane Society of the UnitedStates has found that morethan 17 million homes are plan-ning to add a pet to their familyin 2015, but haven’t decidedwhere to go to find their newfurry family member. Thatmeans if just one in every fivepotential pet owners chooses toadopt an animal, they can helpsave the lives of millions ofanimals, that otherwise couldbe euthanized.

Many animals end up inshelters and rescues through

no fault oftheir own.They are vic-tims of cir-cumstancesbeyond theircontrol, suchas an illness ordeath in thefamily, di-vorce, growingfamily, familyrelocation, or

improper training and prep-aration from owners. Thesepets are healthy, loving ani-mals. Like any other pet, theymight need training to fit into afamily and home, as well aspatience from their new familyto help them adjust to theirnew surroundings, but adopt-ing an animal presents benefitsthat help facilitate this transi-tion.

Animals from rescue or-ganizations living in fosterhomes have already had expe-rience in a home setting andmany shelters have volunteersand staff members that helppeople and pets with trainingand obedience even beforethey are adopted. As an addedbonus, adoption can help re-duce many additional costsassociated with new pet owner-ship. Not only are shelter ani-mal adoption fees lower thanbuying from a pet store orbreeder, but many of the adopt-able animals in shelters andrescues have already beenspayed or neutered and arevaccinated. There are so manywonderful reasons to adopt or

rescue a pet. Cincinnati is help-ing to make it easier for indi-viduals and families who wantto add a pet to their family, byonce again bringing togetherthe area’s best shelters andrescues to showcase their ani-mals in one convenient locationduring Cincinnati’s official PetAdoption Weekend.

The region’s largest animaladoption event, My Furry Val-entine, a nonprofit organizationfocused on bringing togetheradoptable animals and poten-tial pet owners, is hosting itsannual Mega Adoption Event atthe Sharonville ConventionCenter from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Feb. 14 and Feb. 15.

With dozens of rescues andshelters, satellite adoptionevents around the city, andnumerous vendors and ad-vocacy groups participating,My Furry Valentine is hopingto find homes for 550 animalsduring the weekend event. Theevent is fun, family-friendlyand free to attend. This year’sMy Furry Valentine is hostedby phoDOGrapher and present-ed by Top Dog sponsors IAMSand Tri-County Mall with addi-tional financial assistance fromThe Joanie Bernard Founda-tion.

Carolyn Evans is founder of My FurryValentine, a nonprofit created in 2012to raise awareness for the animalrescue community through a week-end-long animal adoption event. Theannual gathering has found homes formore than 1,300 pets since inception.Visit www.myfurryvalentine.com.

It is human nature to as-sess our lives, includingdeciding what improvementsare needed. Unfortunately,experts estimate that onlyabout 15 percent of NewYear’s resolutions achieveany level of success. So why

are resolu-tions so pop-ular and yetso ineffec-tive?

In mostcases, whatwe wish tochange aboutour self is aworthy goal;lose weight,get in bettershape, stop

smoking, stop drinking alco-hol, or stop spending somuch money. In reality how-ever, many of our negativebehaviors are rooted in ei-ther an addiction (alcohol,gambling, sex, smoking), orresult from a previous trau-ma or current stressor.

How many of us, for ex-ample, eat more when we arestressed or unhappy? Theissue therefore is not aboutlosing weight, but rather isabout what is causing us toeat more. In reality, addic-tions, and trauma or stressrelated behaviors cannot beovercome by shear will-power. Most serious behav-ioral modification requiresintentional treatment andstrategic planning.

So does that mean weshould give up on NewYear’s resolutions and thehope of changing our life forthe better? Absolutely not!Positive change can occurand here are some ways totake the chance out ofchange.

» Keep a short list. Mostof us create too many resolu-tions and are quickly dis-couraged because we areoverwhelmed by all thatneeds done.

» Be specific in what you

want to change. Most goalsare too broad and difficult tomeasure. For example, mostof us want to lose weight. Abetter way to phrase it is tolose 15 pounds by May 1.

» Create a strategic planto reach your goal. If yourresolution is to improve yourcomputer skills during thenext year, then be intention-al. Enroll in a computerclass, build a library of ref-erence manuals, and findsomeone who can answeryour questions.

» Modify your habits.Changing major behaviorsoften begins by changingsmaller intrinsic habits. Ifyou are trying to lose weightbut stop at the bakery on theway home two or three timesa week, take a differentroute home. When you cravea snack, substitute fruit forsweets.

» Identify impulsive be-haviors. We are more vul-nerable to impulsive deci-sions when we lose track ofour goals. If you are tryingto save money, don’t go shop-ping for fun. And if you mustgo to the store, have a specif-ic list of items you need toavoid the impulse to buyother things you want.

» Celebrate small victo-ries. Track your progressand celebrate the incre-mental positive changes thatare occurring along the way.

» Recognize when youneed help. Some changesrequire the assistance oftrained professionals. Don’thesitate to seek the help ofdoctors, counselors, or aspiritual leader for issuestoo complex for us to handleon our own.

HAMILTON— There’s rarely,if ever, a dull moment when El-der and Oak Hills play eachother in anything. The Pan-thers and Highlanders nor-mally tangle in the regular sea-son but on March 3 fans foundthemselves at a rare playoffmatchup. Elder pulled awaylate and sent the Highlandershome, 51-41, eliminating themfrom the postseason in a Divi-sion I sectional at Hamilton.

Defense, physicality and in-tensity are at a premium when-ever Elder and Oak Hills sharethe court. This one was no dif-ferent. For three quarters nei-ther team had much room tobreathe. In the fourth quarter,Elder’s defense was intro-duced to its offense and to-

gether the pair pulled away forthe Panthers. Elder outscoredOak Hills 20-11 in the fourthquarter and held the Highland-

ers to 37 percent shooting inthe game.

“It’s almost a slap in the face– okay get ready for the play-

offs,” Elder coach Joe Schoen-feld said on a tough openingplayoff game. “It’s alwaystough to play Oak Hills, they’rewell-coached and a neighbor-hood rival.”

Elder won the first meetingat home on Jan. 13, 43-40.

“Our shot selection wasn’tas good as it needed to be earlyand that was partly becausethey guarded us so good thefirst time we played them,”Schoenfeld said.

Elder senior forward MitchMoorhead led the Panthers inscoring with a game-high 12points. Moorhead did most ofhis damage in the first threequarters (10 points) when thePanthers were having a tough-er time coming away withpoints.

“It’s nice to get a win againsta neighborhood rival,” Moor-head said. “We’re a good teamall-around, we’ve got a bunch

“They practice with my OakHills team as well,” Perica said.“We’re all together, one bigteam, one big family. Our mottothis year was ‘one team in har-mony’ — they compete for a dif-

ferent high school (but) they’restill our team. It’s great becausethe Oak Hills girls were so excit-ed for them (making it to state).”

Both youngsters, Perica saidit’s conceivable to see these two“facing off at state in years tocome.”

Perica said Nina’s mentallyprepared when she competes.

“She’s fearless. When I tellher ‘let’s try this’ she responds‘alright, let’s go,’” Perica said ofWurzelbacher. “She’s probably

the most determined gymnastI’ve ever coached before; she’svery coachable and wants to getbetter each day. She’s a perfec-tionist.”

Perica said Nina’s favoriteevent is beam and it was her goalat the beginning of the year tomake state on beam.

Kiki’s slightly different thanNina, Perica said, but both arebig-time competitors.

“Kiki is very poised, gracefuland confident,” said Perica.

“Her floor routine, her dance isflawless. She's an entertainerand fun to watch because of howpoised she is. You can just tell

she’s confident — you can lookat her and tell that.”

Elder’s six set forstate are Austin Murphy (113),Jake Meridieth (126), ConnorCraig (145), Ti’Ric Evans (152),Andrew Taylor (160) and GageBrock (195). Murphy, who’s34-7 this season, was Elder’slone district champion with a4-2 decision over Mason’s Kear-ney.

“They wrestled with a lot ofheart,” Elder coach JasonRoush said. “It’s an excitingtournament. We had two fresh-man that defeated the return-ing (senior) district champs.”

Next week, Roush, and hisguys, are hoping they can addto Elder’s “Wall of Champions”in their gym.

“Our hopes are to hit the po-dium. We have a wall of cham-pions with all of our state plac-ers that they get to look at ev-eryday – that’s where they wantto be,” Roush said. “Anythingcan happen, we won somematches that we lost last weekand lost some matches that wewon last week. That’s how thissport is, every match is differ-ent.”

Schoenfeld said once thePanthers settled down and re-laxed they started “to grindout good offense especially inthe second half.”

Junior guard Frankie Hof-meyer, who torched the High-landers with 20 points in thefirst meeting, went a long wayto help Elder turn thingsaround with all 11 of his pointscoming in the second half.

Schoenfeld said that juniorforward Peyton Ramsey, whofinished with 10 points, playeda great game on offense anddefense.

The spark for Elder allnight, regardless of being onoffense or defense, was juniorpoint guard Joey Sabato who’s

on-ball defensive pressure andquickness was a difference.

received an IRS checkof $634, which it took asits tax preparation fee.

The IRS says, “It isimportant to choosecarefully when hiringan individual or firm toprepare your return.Well-intentioned taxpay-ers can be misled bypreparers who don’tunderstand taxes or whomislead people intotaking credits or deduc-tions they aren’t entitledto in order to increasetheir fee. Every year,these types of tax pre-parers face everythingfrom penalties to evenjail time for defraudingtheir clients.”

So when you choose apreparer be sure theyhave an IRS PreparerTax Identification Num-ber. Ask if they have aprofessional credentialsuch as a Certified Pub-lic Account or Attorney.

This is the time ofyear to be sure you notonly deal with reputablecompanies when doingyour tax returns, butmake sure the peoplewith whom you areworking are also honest.

A Cincinnati areawoman writes, “I filed

my taxes Feb. 2, andwas aware I had owedthe IRS $911. I was alsoaware I wasn’t going toreceive a tax refund.”

She says the tax pre-parer to whom she wentknew she wasn’t goingto receive a refund. But,she was told to sign a

“little black box” andsays, “They did notshow me what I wassigning off nor did theytell me.”

A few days later shesays she received a callsaying her refund of$17.05 had arrived andthat the company also

Checkon thepreparer’sservicefees up-front andavoidthosewhose feeis based ona percentof the

refund you receive.Always make sure

any refund you receiveis sent to you or directdeposited into yourbank account. Do notallow your refund to bedeposited into the pre-parer’s bank account.

Make sure the pre-parer can submit yourreturn electronically.Any tax professionalwho gets paid to pre-pare and file more than10 returns generallymust file the returnselectronically. This is

the safest, most accu-rate way to file a return.

Never sign a blank orincomplete income taxreturn. You must reviewthe entire return –andask questions if some-thing is not clear – soyou’re comfortable withthe return’s accuracybefore you sign.

Make sure the taxpreparer signs the re-turn and includes theirPTIN number as re-quired by law. The pre-parer must then giveyou a copy of the return.

Finally, any tax pre-parer whom you suspectof tax fraud should bereported directly to theIRS.
