MEN’S FASHION AND FEBRUARY’S UPCOMING CONCERTS+

Katie GRiFFitH | ARTS EDITOR

Jonathan “Yoni” Wolf is a rapper, singer, musician and artist from Cincinnati. He has produced solo work, been a featured rap artist, a member of alternative hip-hop and indie-rock groups and co-founded the Anticon record label.

It seems Wolf found his place as frontman in a band identified as what was once his stage name, WHY?. The rapping, folk-singing, rock band will kick off its country-

wide tour at Cincinnati’s very own Taft Ballroom Friday.

Since 2004, WHY? has released four albums and toured around the world.

“I wouldn’t say there are national borders to the success we have,” Wolf said. “It’s more about cities. We do really well in London, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo — big cities like that have tons of people who listen to our music.”

And once again, WHY? will grace its hometown of Cincinnati, a place the band retreats to after a world tour, but also where

it looks forward to performing in front of an audience of fans and friends alike.

“Mumps, Etc.,” the band’s 2012 album, features the popular single “Strawberries.” One attending the concert will surely hear the band’s hit single, as well as other tunes from the album — but that’s not all.

“We’ll do a lot of those [songs] as well as a lot of older ones,” Wolf said. “We try to do a fair shake of all the different material that we have.”

Wolf said the band likes to change the setup as much as possible. Fans new and old should expect to have a good time.

“We try to make it a fun time. There’s no point in going out to something that’s not enjoyable,” Wolf said. “Our music is what it is, people dance, I dance, we have a good time.”

But WHY?’s stage presence partially relies on the audience.

“It’s really about the vibe of the room. The energy back and forth between the audience and the band, that’s basically what it comes down to,” Wolf said.

Wolf is the mind behind the flow of WHY?. He writes, sings and raps the clever, and sometimes disturbing, but always exciting lyrics.

“It just comes down to the occasional word or phrase that sort of comes to me in passing times. I haven’t really ever figured out how to sit down and write,” Wolf said. “It really is about when an idea sort of pokes through from the subconscious from the world telling me something.”

It appears as though Wolf doesn’t need a set way to write, becuase whatever he’s doing now is working just fine.

Hopefully the world keeps speaking to him in the same way for as long as he wishes to hear it.

Then WHY? can continue to deliver the songs and performances its fans around the world crave to experience.

OTHER CONCERTS:The Used — Feb. 8, Bogart’s

Leader of the emo-rock genre, The Used is headlining the 2013 “Take Action Tour.” Proceeds benefit LGBTQ youth through the

“It Gets Better” project. Concertgoers might hear songs from “Vulnerable II,” The Used’s latest album, in live form.

Mark Lomax Trio – Feb. 15, Thompson House

Jazz up Valentine’s Day celebrations with the Mark Lomax Trio. The group consists of tenor saxophonist Edwin Bayard, bassist Dan Hulett and Lomax on drums. The band’s upbeat, powerful jazz music is recognized nationally and sure to be enjoyed.

Kids These Days – Feb. 17, Southgate House Revival

This seven-piece band combines rap with sounds of the trumpet and trombone, but has an overall indie feel using aspects of the genre such as guitar, drums and vocals.

Mod Sun – Feb. 20, 20th Century Theatre

Mod Sun was chosen by Rolling Stone as one of the eight top unsigned artists in the world. This hip-hop artist’s motto is “no fans just friends.”

Aesop Rock – Feb. 20, Thompson House

Since 1996, Aesop Rock has been a front-runner of the underground-rap music scene and helped bring the genre into the mainstream — as ironic as that sounds.

Meshuggah – Feb. 21, Bogart’sMeshuggah is a 25-year-old Swedish

metal band with face-melting riffs and fast-tempo beats. As a veteran to touring and playing music festivals, its presence at Bogart’s shouldn’t be missed.

Muse – Feb. 27, US Bank Arena Long before Stephanie Meyer cited Muse

as her inspiration for “The Twilight Saga,” the band was known for its live performances. Its most recent hit “Madness” will be the theme for NCAA March Madness 2013.

HANDS-ON COMMUNICATION

THE VERGE MAGAZINE PRESENTS:

Q&A with teacher for the deafELESE DANIEL | FOR THE VERGE MAGAZINE

A Cincinnati-based science teacher is using a different form of communication to teach his seventh through 12th-grade students. Chris Lamkin, 39, works at the last private deaf school in the country, St. Rita School for the Deaf, and doesn’t plan on leaving anytime soon.

Q: What’s a typical day at work like?

A: It’s pretty much like any other high school. They have all the same subjects. I vary the instruction so they can understand it — change it to sign language, that sort of thing. I sign and I voice. I pretty much do all of it.

I have homeroom. I have chemistry in the morning, then I teach social studies. I teach science, biology and physics after lunch, physical science — we’re doing Earth science right now — and at the end of the day, I have eighth-grade science.

I have a whiteboard for interactive work and a projector so we can review work together. We have books that we work out of. We work on papers. We do homework. We check our homework. We take tests — just like anything else. They have class meetings. They have class advisers. They have volunteer work.

Q: Can you tell me a little about your students?

A: There is a very big variation of students. Some of them are completely deaf and they don’t have any sign language — any communication at all. I have some students that prefer to talk. Some of them can voice really well, and they’re just a little bit deaf, which is called hard of hearing. Some of them can only sign. Some of them sign in [American Sign Language]. Some of them sign in English.

Some of my classes have apraxic kids. Apraxia just means they have trouble communicating, trouble with motor movements, things like that. Some of them are deaf. Some of them are hearing, but they have different disorders.

My room has recently been remodeled to be more accessible for deaf students. We have lab tables in a semicircle for a greater range of sight. The students can see each other.

Imagine anyone behind you is basically invisible. Every time they look down at their notes or their book, communication stops. With fi ve kids in the room needing to look down at random times, it can take much more time to grasp a concept.

Q: Did you know sign language before you got to St. Rita?

A: No. No, no. They hired an interpreter for me for my fi rst semester and after that, it was just me.

It was really stressful. I used to go home wanting to quit every day. I didn’t think I’d be able to do it. It was too hard to learn that fast. Everybody would be signing around you and you get all nervous because you didn’t know what they were talking about. You think they’re talking about you and most of the time they’re not. They don’t care, just like any other language, but I picked it up.

Q: What’s the best part about your job?

A: Getting to see the kids grow up and seeing them improve. I had one kid who was 16 years old. He came to St. Rita and didn’t know any sign language. He can’t talk. He didn’t have any communication skills. He was so far delayed because he didn’t have anyone to communicate with.

At St. Rita, within one year, he’s signing and learned, pretty much, the whole language of ASL. Now he’s able to have fun with his friends and talk and tell jokes and do fun stuff that before — he was just sitting at home, just sitting there by himself like a lump, not being able to communicate or understand anything around him, or even read the words on a closed-caption machine or anything.

That’s probably the best thing — just being able to see kids actually get some skills and be able to use them. That’s pretty awesome.

Q: What keeps you going back to work every day?

A: The kids. The kids that are really positive and just really want to learn with good attitudes. A lot of those guys were really little when I started. It’s good to see them grow up.

Nestled in historic O’Bryonville sits Eat Well Café and Takeaway.

Off the beaten path, Eat Well is tucked not far away from the never-ending Madison Road between Entoeca Emilia and The BonBonerie’s parking lot.

While O’Bryonville has rich historical ties, this newly opened restaurant contains a history of its own.

Owner and Chef Renee Schuler is no stranger to the food industry.

She went from serving her family steak dinners to eating, living and learning in one of the food capitals of the world — New York City. She returned home to Cincinnati and opened a

successful catering business. Now, Eat Well Café and Takeaway is

her latest endeavor. Walking into Eat Well one immediately feels a calming wave, which allows customers to leave their stress at the door.

The customer is then greeted with a wire basket of paper menus and a cooler filled with a wide selection of soda and water.

While attentively reviewing the unique menu, one can’t help but become distracted by the mouth-watering homemade pastries and cupcakes.

Preparing to order at the register, the plate of maple oat scones set out for sampling is hard to resist and certainly might become a customer favorite.

I ordered hummus served with fresh veggies and grilled bread ($4.50) and the Swell Veggie sandwich accompanied by my choice in side, the whole-wheat orzo with pine nut pesto and goat cheese ($11).

Along with the cooler of drinks, Eat Well also offers fresh beverages made daily. White cranberry fresh lemonade ($2.50) or a cup of Deeper Roots house blend, a coffee company native to Cincinnati ($2.20).

“Each and every day, before we open and after we close, we have people in the kitchen making everything from scratch,” Schuler said.

The fresh food and great detail was noticeable as the waitress delivered a colorful plate of methodically placed

vegetables, grill-marked bread and hummus garnished with whole garbanzo beans.

As a hummus connoisseur, Eat Well’s hummus one of the best and the freshest there is.

Chef Schuler described her food as modern, taking fresh and local ingredients and adding her own twist.

She also labeled the menu as healthy, but still having substance.

The waitress then served the Swell Veggie sandwich on a bird-patterned tray. The sandwich had a bit of marinated and baked tofu, avocado, cucumber, greens and an unexpectedly delightful ginger beet chutney all on a Blue Oven focaccia, a local company known for its fresh wood fired breads.

The sandwich was nothing less than perfect. The ginger beet chutney did not have an overpowering ginger taste, but still lingered with extra flavor.

The whole-wheat orzo turned out to be a unique side, while the goat cheese made a fantastic addition to the nutty taste of the pine nut pesto.

The amount of food was just right. On the way out, the cupcakes were irresistible. They were decorated as if they were about to be judged on Cupcake Wars — and tasted like they won the competition.

Eat Well is fast-casual restaurant. Order at the counter, take a seat and the food is served promptly. No need to dress up in a tuxedo for this one — jeans will do.

Club hockey president Q&A

Joshua a. Miller | SportS EDItor

Q: how has your season been going thus far?

A: Our season thus far, from an internal operations perspective, has been going smoothly. With nine new younger faces in the lineup, competitively the season has been a rebuilding year.

For the most part, we are competitive with every team we play but have struggled to come up with the victory total we are used to. The team is currently 5-17 with eight games remaining.

Q: how often do you practice? in a city like Cincinnati, where do you practice?

A: Our team practices twice a week for an hour and a half, each at the historic Cincinnati Gardens. This is also where we

play our games.Q: how many games are there in a

typical club season and who are your opponents?

A: There are typically around 30 games in a season. We participate in a league called the Tri-State Collegiate Hockey League, which consists of the University of Akron, UC, the University of Dayton, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Ohio University, the University of Toledo, the University of Pittsburgh, West Virginia University and Wright State University.

Q: What are some of the biggest challenges to fielding a successful club hockey team?

A: Some of the biggest challenges in fielding a club hockey team is the expense. Anyone who would consider playing for our club would have some kind of hockey playing experience. Convincing kids to continue playing in college, where adjusting to college life is a challenge in itself, is a tough task. After high school, a lot of players seem to “hang up the skates” and just want to focus on school as opposed to handling club hockey.

Q: Who is the clubs biggest rival, and why?

A: Being in Cincinnati, our biggest rival has been Xavier. It has been a somewhat friendly rivalry, as both programs have a lot of respect for each other. Just like most rivalries, it doesn’t matter how either team

is doing in a particular season, it’s always a close game. This year, Xavier’s club team reached out to us to collaborate on raising money for cancer research. We helped Xavier raised around $1500.

Q: Being that hockey is an expensive sport to fund, how do you go about paying for all of your equipment needs, travel, etc?

A: At this point in our hockey careers, most players have been wearing the same equipment for a while. Replacement equipment is typically purchased online as needed. Sticks are the most replaced article of equipment, as they last the shortest amount of time.

Q: Do you receive any funding from uC?

A: UC allocated our program $14,750, which typically covers all of our transportation expenses, such as our three bus trips a year, and passenger vans for closer travels. Those funds typically cover a couple months of ice bills as well. Ice hockey receives the second most allocation of funds the school offers.

Q: What is the team’s overall goal for this season?

A: The team’s overall goal this season is to make the playoffs. To do so, we will need a solid finish in our last four remaining league games. The playoffs take place in Akron, Ohio in March.

Q: What should people know about what it takes to play competitive hockey?

A: The biggest requirement of competitive hockey is dedication. Ice hockey is not something a typical person can just wake

up one day and decide to play. Ice hockey requires skill sets to build on each other. If someone can’t skate on the ice, chances are they can’t handle a puck with a stick in their hands. Most hockey teams are on the ice anywhere from three to six times a week. Constant repetition and hard work is mandatory.

Fresh sTarT the University of Cincinnati’s club hockey team is currently 5-20, but the future looks bright for a team starting nine younger players.

Accessorizing and style tips might not be a priority to the average college guy, but if you aspire to look like Bruce Wayne, here are a few tips that are less detrimental to your pocketbook and might just add something special to the sea of Bearcats.

BOW TIE Where to buy: Nordstrom Rack, $17Inspired by: Jason Gordon-Levitt Style tip: Wear with a casual, fl annel button-up for a dressy occasion

Bow ties should be a staple in every man’s sock drawer. It adds a mature touch to a plain button-up top — short or long sleeved. The bow tie is a great addition to your wardrobe and a trendier choice than the traditional tie with a little bit of funk, and a pinch of class.

COLORED SKINNY PANTSWhere to buy: Gap, $20Inspired by: Nate Ruess, lead singer of FunStyle tip: Roll up the cuff s to show off bright socks

Fun colored pants are a great way to switch up traditional khaki-colored slacks. Colored pants can make a boring outfi t stand out in the crowd, but still leave room to blend in. Pick a color that matches at least three things in your closet so you don’t fi nd yourself limited in outfi t choices.

UNIQUE GRAPHIC TEEWhere to buy: Joseph Beth Booksellers, $28Inspired by: Ryan GoslingStyle tip: Wear with an unbuttoned cardigan to dress it up

Graphic tees have always been in style and are a must-have for all men. The key to T-shirts is fi nding one that displays your personality. Don’t: Wear a shirt with profane slogans and explicit images. Do: Wear a vintage rock-band tee.
