ADULTS NEED TO UPDATE IMMUNIZATIONS
CURRENT EXHIBITS
When you think of serious threats to your health, heart disease, cancer, or maybe even serious injuries might come to mind. However, you probably don’t think about infectious diseases. Often underestimated, infectious diseases can be overlooked, but are a leading killer in the United States and worldwide. You’ve probably been vaccinated against a number of infectious illnesses. In the United States, vaccination is required for entry to schools, many camps, colleges, and some occupations. However, it is important for adults to review their vaccination status. There are a number of reasons adults need vaccination.

AT&T official discusses tech careers with students
S
ince he was 11 years old, Tim Duffy said he always thought about amateur radio. From the time he made his first crystal radio, to high school football practice, and even in college, Duffy had a love for it. Duffy, now the senior vice president of AT&T Mobility Division, turned his love of technology into a successful career and he shared his story with students in the Engineering Program at Mahoning County Career and Technical Center last month. Bob Dukish, tech prep engineering instructor, organized Duffy’s recent visit to his class. The students will begin their own amateur radio station in the classroom and Dukish said Duffy is one of the most well known amateur radio enthusiasts. This is the first time MCCTC has offered a radio station to the students. Dukish said amateur radio will not only help to reinforce engineering principles, but also cover other academic areas especially with geography. Duffy agreed saying that he was amazed as a child to see amateur radio enthusiasts speaking to people from around the world. “There is a commonality that goes along with amateur radio. It bridges gaps,” Duffy said. After seeing the possibilities of amateur radio Duffy said, “I don’t care what else I do, I want to do that.” Duffy stressed the importance of understanding the basic principles of engineering because it will come in handy in the future. “There is a lot of opportunity out there. The technical jobs are always in high demand,” he said. In addition to speaking to the engineering students, Duffy also met with students in the information technology programs to talk about the advancements in cellular communications and career possibilities. “It’s important to love what you do,” Duffy told the students. “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.” Duffy told the students to not be afraid to take risks, don’t close any doors, and have a passion for what they do in their careers. “You are charged with the imagination for where we will go from here. I’m just along for the ride,” Duffy said. For more information on this or any of the programs at MCCTC contact Jacqueline Kuffel at 330-729-4120.

University breaks ground for $34.3 million academic building
C
ulminating nearly five years of planning and fund-raising, Youngstown State University on Oct. 27 broke ground for a state-of-the-art $34.3 million building for the Williamson College of Business Administration. Funded through a combination of private and state funds, the 110,000-squarefoot building on the far south end of the YSU campus will provide cutting-edge classroom and laboratory facilities for the college’s 1,950 students and will help better connect the college and the university to the downtown Youngstown business district. “This is a monumental day in the history of the university,” YSU President David C. Sweet said. “As YSU celebrates its Centennial and its proud past, this building allows us to glimpse into the university’s promising future and a second century of providing high quality academic programs and serving as a catalyst for educational and economic growth throughout the region.” Construction will begin early in 2009, and the building will be open in time for fall 2010 classes. The building is the centerpiece of YSU’s Centennial Master Plan and represents the largest single capital expenditure in the university’s 100-year history. “The construction of this building is the result of a series of partnerships that are unprecedented in the university’s history,” said Betty Jo Licata, dean of the Williamson College of Business Admin-
COMMUNITY JOURNAL istration. “From the city of Youngstown and the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown to students, faculty, staff, alumni and hundreds of committed donors, this facility will stand as a symbol of communityuniversity collaboration that serves our students and the entire Mahoning Valley.” More than 54 individuals have made donations totaling $12.4 million to YSU’s Centennial Capital Campaign to help pay for construction. In all, the university plans to raise $16 million in private donations for construction. The remaining cost will be financed through state capital funds. Seventeen individuals and foundations have made contributions of $100,000 or more, including the lead gift of $5 million from the family of the late Warren P. Williamson Jr., the founder of WKBN Broadcasting Corp. The new building will be named in recognition of the gift, the largest in YSU’s history. Tony and Mary Lariccia of Boardman contributed $4 million to the campaign, the largest individual gift in the university’s history. “I am forever amazed and humbled by this community’s support for YSU,” said Lariccia, a 1966 YSU graduate and a vice president for Merrill Lynch in Canfield. “I want to thank everyone who has con-

The building will be just east of St. Columba Cathedral and the headquarters of the Catholic Diocese of Youngstown. Sweet credited Mayor Jay Williams, Youngstown City Council, Bishop George V. Murry, and the Diocese for working with YSU to take a blighted block of the city and turning it into a vital part of the YSU campus and surrounding community. Demolition of five abandoned buildings on the site is continuing. “This project represents what can happen when institutions with similar interests combine forces for the common good,” Sweet said.

Construction will begin early in 2009, and the building will be open in time for fall 2010 classes. The building is the centerpiece of YSU’s Centennial Master Plan and represents the largest single capital expenditure in the university’s 100-year history. The new building is designed by Strollo Architects, Youngstown, and Perkins & Will, an international architecture and planning firm, and will be about twice the size of the building on Lincoln Avenue that currently houses the Williamson College of Business Administration. Dozens of students, faculty, staff and alumni were involved in the planning of the building. Licata said the new facility will feature classrooms and faculty offices, computer labs, small group meeting rooms, a financial services lab, a professional sales and business communication lab, a student business incubator, outreach centers for small business development, entrepreneurship, international business and nonprofit leadership. It also will have a 200-seat auditorium, an executive boardroom, a conference center, a café, an industrial history gallery and a sky-lit atrium. “The college, with accreditation from AASCB International – the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business – is already recognized as being in the top 25 percent of business schools in the country,” Licata said. “This facility will give us an even greater advantage as we compete for the best and brightest business students and faculty across the nation and expand our services to the regional business community.” The building is being designed in line with standards of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) U.S. Green Building Council Rating System. For photos and more information on the new building, including a live Webcam of the construction site, visit http://www. wcba.ysu.edu/newWCBA.html. In addition to the Williamson family and the Lariccias, other donors of $100,000 or more are: Andrews Trust ($500,000), First Place Bank ($500,000), Hynes Finnegan Foundation ($500,000), Jocelyne Linsalata ($500,000), Pollock Foundation ($500,000), National City Bank ($300,000), the Burdman Family ($250,000), the Payiavlas Family ($250,000), the Schwebel Family ($250,000), John and Denise DeBartolo York ($200,000), the Bresnahan Family ($100,000), Jack DePizzo ($100,000), Huntington Bank ($100,000), Johnson Controls ($100,000), Sam and Judy Roth ($100,000) and the Weller Family ($100,000).

Know about scrap theft? Crime Stoppers offers cash YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- Scrap metal theft is a major threat to public safety. Thieves are electrocuting themselves, touching off fires and blowing apart buildings – endangering entire neighborhoods. The problem is compounded by the high home foreclosure rate, supplying thieves with more empty houses many in suburban neighborhoods, that they can strip for profit. Businesses are also being targeted and some have been forced to curtail operations until they recover from large losses. Crime Stoppers of Greater Youngstown is joining with the scrap metal investigations unit of the Youngstown Police Department to issue this alert. Anyone with information about scrap metal theft should call Crime Stoppers at 330-746-CLUE. To protect the identity of the person providing the information, a code number will be assigned and if the information leads to an apprehension of a scrap metal thief, a cash reward of up to $2,000 will be paid. NOTE: Crime Stoppers continues to offer cash rewards for information leading to the apprehension of any individuals named in outstanding felony warrants. There are more than 1,564 outstanding felony warrants in the city of Youngstown alone – involving crimes ranging from homicides to passing bad checks – and many of the felons who have eluded capture continue to commit serious crimes.

So, we decided to continue ‘Carols & Cocoa’ but also chose pieces that would work for a major evening concert.” Thus, the move to an evening concert at Stambaugh Auditorium. Tickets may be purchased in advance either in person at the Bliss Hall Box Office or by phone at 330-941-3105. Ticket prices are $10 for adults, $5 for students and senior citizens and free for children under 12 and YSU students with a valid ID.

ave you ever visited a Dollar General store and placed a contribution in the box for donations to literacy? If so, you may have wondered where the money goes or if it is used locally. Well, the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County knows where the money goes. The Library recently announced the receipt of a $10,000 grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation for its “Summer Reading Club,” a program that reaches all ages, from babies through adults, to encourage reading and literacy. Dollar General is a discount retailer with more than 8,000 stores. Dollar General Literacy Foundation grants are aimed at supporting adult, family and youth literacy initiatives. Managers from local Dollar General stores came to the Library recently to present a check for $10,000 to Library Director Carlton A. Sears and Development Director Deborah Liptak. Managers reported that 17 stores in this district participated in the fund-raising efforts and made the request for grant money to come back to their area’s libraries. Representatives from Dollar General said they were pleased with the size of the grant they were able to secure for the Library. The Library’s “Summer Reading Club” seeks to ensure that children keep their reading skills sharp when school is not in session. The program promotes literacy for all ages and encourages patrons to read and to attend programs that stimulate a love of reading and libraries.
Andrews Trust gives $500k to Centennial The John and Doris Andrews Trust has contributed $500,000 to Youngstown State’s Centennial Capital Campaign to help in the construction of the new building for the Williamson College of Business Administration. In recognition of the gift, YSU will name the financial services lab in the new business building in the Andrews’ honor. The gift is the latest donation to YSU from the Andrews Trust. In 2001, the Trust donated $1 million to endow the John S. and Doris M. Andrews Chair in Accounting. In 2004, the Trust contributed $2 million to the construction of the Andrews Student Recreation and Wellness Center at YSU. The $43 million YSU Centennial Capital Campaign is in its fifth and final year. The campaign, a partnership between YSU and the YSU Foundation, is the largest fund-raising effort in YSU’s 100-year history.

HEALTH NOTES
Adults should consider reviewing their vaccination history, report says
W
hen you think of serious threats to your health, heart disease, cancer, or maybe even serious injuries might come to mind. However, you probably don’t think about infectious diseases. Often underestimated, infectious diseases can be overlooked, but are a leading killer in the United States and worldwide. You’ve probably been vaccinated against a number of infectious illnesses. In the United States, vaccination is required for entry to schools, many camps, colleges, and some occupations. However, it is important for adults to review their vaccination status. There are a number of reasons adults need vaccination: ◆ You may not have received any or all vaccines as a child; ◆ Newer vaccines may not have been available when you were a child; ◆ Immunity can wane over time; ◆ As you age, you become more susceptible to serious disease caused by common infections; ◆ You may travel to areas where rare infectious diseases are much more common; ◆ You may interact with people who have been exposed to unusual infectious diseases. The FDA is understandably cautious and demanding before it will license a new vaccine. Most recently, it has licensed several new vaccines: human papillomavirus (HPV), varicella-zoster virus, and meningococcus (a second meningococcal vaccine). The FDA has also approved a preliminary bird flu vaccine in case of a bird flu pandemic. Do you need the HPV vaccine? The HPV vaccine was licensed in June 2006 and is recommended for females beginning at age 11 or 12 through age 26, although it can be administered to girls as young as 9.

he nation’s immunization coverage rates for preteens and teens are increasing for routinely recommended vaccines, but most still do not have all of the recommended immunizations, according to 2007 estimates released in early October by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “The overall trends are good news,” said Dr. Lance Rodewald, director of the Division of Immunization Services at the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. “We are seeing more preteens and teenagers being protected against serious, sometimes deadly diseases. But we remain short of our goals – for almost all of these vaccines we want at least 90 percent of adolescents to be fully
immunized. As such, we have much work to do to get many more adolescents protected.” The survey provides estimates for three vaccines recommended at 11 or 12 years of age: the tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine, the meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4), and the human papillomavirus (HPV4) vaccine for girls and young women. It also includes estimates of the percentage of 13- through 17-year-old teens who should have received the recommended immunizations for measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR), hepatitis B (HepB) vaccine, and varicella vaccine (VAR) earlier in life.

and teens ages 13-15 years are not being met for any of the vaccines for which goals were set. The “Healthy People 2010” goals are for 90 percent coverage for preteens and teens 13 to 15 years of age with three doses of hepatitis B vaccine, two doses of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, one dose of either tetanus-diphtheria or tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis vaccine, and one dose of varicella vaccine for those who have not previously had chickenpox. There is not a “Healthy People 2010” goal for HPV vaccination, which was first licensed and recommended in 2006. The survey found that, compared to
he National Safety Council and the Northern Ohio Chapter last month reaffirmed their public policy to support a national 21-year-old minimum legal drinking age. The policy was reaffirmed by representatives of the National Safety Council’s 50,000 member organizations at their annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif. A key statement emerged from the meeting. It reads: “The National Safety Council supports the minimum drinking age of 21 and opposes any attempt to lower this age and reaffirms the need for Federal sanctions for states that violate this provision.” The National Safety Council first adopted its policy supporting the 21-year-old minimal legal drinking age in 1984, preceding federal establishment of it that year. (The full policy, “Under 21 Drinking and Driving,” will be posted on the Northern Ohio Chapter and National Safety Council Web sites.) “After 24 years of saving young lives with a higher drinking age in this nation, there is absolutely no reason to go back to the 1970s and early 80s which produced more injuries and deaths related to alcohol,” said Larry Kingston, executive director of the National Safety Council’s Northern Ohio Chapter. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), a National Safety Council partner in the Support 21 Coalition, supported the policy reaffirmation. “The 21 minimum legal drinking age law is proven to be one of the nation’s most important and lifesaving laws to protect youth. There is overwhelming support for this law, including that of national health and safety leaders, enforcement, legislators and the American public,” said MADD National President Laura Dean-Mooney.

ADULT VACCINES, FROM PAGE 14 the number of human deaths attributable to bird influenza strains has been low thus far, there remains the very real fear of a pandemic should the viral strains mutate sufficiently to pass easily from person to person. What about smallpox? Smallpox vaccine is routinely given to health workers, military personnel, and other persons in professions where the unlikely threat of bioterrorism employing the smallpox virus may put them on the front line of exposure. If you think you fall in this category, check with your clinician about vaccination. Other vaccines you may need. Even if you have received all your childhood vaccinations, ask your doctor whether you need any booster shots, for example: ◆ The tetanus shot should be repeated every 10 years; ◆ Get a flu shot each year; ◆ If you’ve never had chickenpox and have never been vaccinated, now’s the time; ◆ Check whether you need a booster for measles, mumps, and rubella; ◆ If you travel, make sure to check for needed immunizations; ◆ Adults over age 65 need the vaccine for bacterial pneumonia; ◆ Those age 60 and up need the zoster vaccine against shingles.

TEEN VACCINES, FROM PAGE 14 2006, there was a substantial increase in the percentage of preteens and teens that had received the recommended vaccinations. Specific findings included: ◆ Vaccination coverage levels for three or more doses of hepatitis B (HepB) and two or more doses of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR) were over 80 percent; ◆ Coverage with one dose of varicella vaccine (VAR) was high at 75.7 percent but coverage with two doses was low at 18.8 percent among preteens and teens without a previous history of disease; ◆ 32.4 percent of preteens and teens surveyed had received MCV4 vaccination, up from 11.7 percent in 2006 (a 20.7 percentage point increase); ◆ 30.4 percent had received Tdap vaccination, up from 10.8 percent in 2006 (a 19.6 percentage point increase); ◆ 25.1 percent of adolescent females had received at least one dose of HPV vaccine. Rodewald encourages parents to take their preteens and teenagers for routine medical checkups as a way to ensure they receive the recommended vaccinations. The CDC has conducted the National Immunization Survey for teens since 2006. It is similar to the standard NIS that began in 1994, that collects immunization information among children 19 through 35 months old. It is a random digit-dialed telephone survey.

High blood pressure Helpful tips to control a deadly, ‘silent killer’ FROM HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL
B
ecause high blood pressure (hypertension) has no symptoms or warning signs, 30 percent of the people who have it don’t realize it. That lack of knowledge can be deadly. Over the years, untreated high blood pressure quietly damages your organs and sets you on a course for several lifethreatening diseases, including stroke and heart disease. This special health report gives you the crucial information to help you identify a blood pressure problem and get it under control sooner rather than later. Checking blood pressure: Do try this at home. Your blood pressure changes
from hour to hour, sometimes even minute to minute. Standing up, watching an exciting sports event, eating a meal, even the time of day influence your blood pressure. It jumps around so much that you are more likely to get a “normal” reading if you check it at home rather than in the doctor’s office. That idea underlies a recommendation from the American Heart Association, American Society of Hypertension, and Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association. They urge individuals with high blood pressure, or at high risk for developing it, to become blood pressure do-it-yourselfers. There are many good reasons to follow their advice: Find your real blood pressure. The measurement your doctor or nurse takes is just a just single frame from an ongoing movie. In some individuals, that snapshot is an excellent approximation of their usual blood pressure. In others, it isn’t. Up to 20 percent of people di-
Because high blood pressure (hypertension) has no symptoms or warning signs, 30 percent of the people who have it don’t realize it. agnosed with high blood pressure have white-coat hypertension. This is a temporary spike in blood pressure brought on by the stress of seeing a doctor. Still others have what’s called masked hypertension – normal blood pressure in the doctor’s office but high blood pressure everywhere else. Improve your control. People who check their blood pressure at home tend to be more successful at keeping it under control. Instead of a getting a bloodpressure reading once every few months in a doctor’s office, you can get a reading every week or so at home. Being more involved by taking the measurements yourself also helps. People who actively participate in their care generally do better than those who take a hands-off, let-the-doctor-do-it approach. Track your progress. You can’t feel your blood pressure improve – or get worse. Measuring it at home can tell you whether your life-style changes and the medications you are taking are having their desired effects. Save time and medications. Monitoring your blood pressure at home may mean fewer trips to the doctor’s office. If you have white-coat hypertension, it may also mean taking fewer, or no, blood pressure medicines. Run with the right crowd. Of every 100 people with high blood pressure, 70 or more don’t have it under control. A SEE HYPERTENSION, PAGE 17

study shows that people who checked their blood pressure at home and e-mailed the results to a pharmacist who offered advice were far more likely to keep their blood pressure in check than those who merely measured it at home or those who had it taken by a doctor every now and then. Key points – If you have high blood pressure, it’s a good idea to check your blood pressure at home. ◆ Use an automatic monitor with a cuff that fits around your arm and that keeps track of your readings. ◆ Check your blood pressure once in the morning and once in the evening for a week, then one or two days a month after that. ◆ Picking the right machine – There are dozens of different home blood pressure monitors on the market. For best accuracy and ease of use, buy one with a cuff for the upper arm that automatically inflates and that automatically records the pressure. The AHA doesn’t recommend wrist or finger home blood pressure monitors. The September 2008 issue of Consumer Reports compares home blood pressure and blood sugar monitors. Do it right – Technique matters when it comes to measuring blood pressure. Do-
ing it wrong can give you a reading that’s too high or too low. (To see a brief video on using a home blood pressure monitor, visit health.harvard.edu/128.) There are two things to do before you start. First, check your machine against the one in your doctor’s office. Second, make sure you have the right size cuff — the inflatable part should encircle at least 80 percent of your upper arm. When you first start to check your blood pressure at home, measure it early in the morning, before you have taken your blood pressure pills, and again in the evening, every day for a week. After that, follow the plan your doctor recommends, or check it one or two days a month. Each time you take a reading: ◆ Avoid caffeinated or alcoholic beverages, and don’t smoke, during the 30 minutes before the test; ◆ Sit quietly for five minutes with your back supported and feet on the floor; ◆ When making the measurement, support your arm so your elbow is at the level of your heart; ◆ Push your sleeves out of the way and wrap the cuff over bare skin. Measure your blood pressure according to the machine’s instructions. Leave the deflated cuff in place, wait a minute, then take a second reading. If the readings are close, average them. If not, repeat again and average the three readings; ◆ Don’t panic if a reading is high. Relax for a few minutes and try again; ◆ Keep a record of your readings and the time of day they are made. Checking blood pressure at home won’t cure hypertension, but it will help control the most common cause of stroke and a big contributor to heart attack, heart failure, and premature death.

Harvest of values Fall holiday season heralds some great local wine bargains N
ow that we’re getting right into the fall holiday season, lots of great wine bargains are being offered to the discriminating wine buyer. Springfield Grille in Boardman was my first stop on the month. Raymond Vineyards was represented by Clyde Gilbert, who brought their “R” Collection 2006 Chardonnay, 2005 Merlot, and 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon to enjoy with Chefs B.J. Sulka’s and Nick Mileto’s tasty dinner. A garden paillard (fresh beets, purple potatoes, beefsteak tomatoes and wild mushrooms) drizzled in a Chardonnay vinaigrette was paired to Raymond’s R Collection Chardonnay 2006 from Monterey County, Calif. Vibrant fruit flavors and a bracing crisp finish stood up nicely to the delicious medley of garden treats. Pork tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto was our next course, and was paired to Raymond’s 2005 R Collection Merlot. This tasty blend of 70 percent Merlot (Lodi fruit) and 30 percent Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley was just what the doctor ordered for this mouthwatering dish. Lush dark berry fruit flavors and a long, creamy finish make this a great choice for grilled meats and summertime barbecues. The last course of whipped chocolate mousse in a semi-sweet meltaway crust was paired to the R Collection 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon. This Napa red features textbook Cab fruit flavors and a textured, supple finish that just goes on forever. The Raymond R collection offers great value and a surprising level of quality that is hard to match. Restaurants that feature these wines are truly looking out for their clientele. My next major tasting took me to Alberini’s Restaurant in Niles for their annual “Happy Hallo-wine Party” wine taste. Chef Doug Webb prepared a virtual harvest feast for the lucky guests. My first wine was the 2008 Noblio Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. This bracingly crisp white was a great match for the crab cakes. My next wine sample was the 3 Girls 2006 Chardonnay ($14.99) from Lodi, Calif. This gold-medal winner (Denver International Wine Competition) offered up gobs of bright apple and pear fruit flavors followed by a clean crisp finish. My third sample was the 2007 Valley of the Moon Chardonnay ($15.99) from California’s Sonoma Coast region. This rich full-bodied white was just the answer for the pecan-crusted chicken. My first red selection was the Chilean Concha y Toro 2006 Casillero Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve ($10.99). This great
value Cabernet features classic dark fruit flavors followed by a textured finish of leather and spice. It wouldn’t be

an Alberini’s Hallo-wine tasting if I didn’t find an outstanding California Zinfandel to sample. Lo and behold, I found a table pouring Scott Harvey’s 2004 Inzinerator Zinfandel ($14.99) This full-bodied fruitforward red was simply delicious with the sweet potato fritters. This is a great wine for Sunday afternoons watching football and eating burgers hot off the grill. My next red originates from the Veneto region of northern Italy. The Repasso Style 2005 Masi Campofiorin ($20) is one of the best bargains going in fine wine. This deep-colored full-bodied Veronese red is chock-full of black cherry and licorice fruit flavors. Chef Webb’s cranberry-stuffed pork loin was a near-perfect match for this tasty red. My last wine also hails from northern Italy. The Friulian Zorzettig 2006 Schioppettino ($19.99) offers crisp full-bodied dark fruit flavors with a supple aromatic finish that lasts forever. This unique Italian red should be on everyone’s holiday shopping list. Mid-month I was invited to Vaccaro’s Trattoria in Akron for the Cutting Edge trade show. With gift-giving in mind, I can recommend South African Ken Forrester’s 2007 Petit Chenin Blanc. This mouth-watering crisp-finishing white is also a great wine for holiday parties. Another great discovery from South Africa was the Signal Hill 2005 L’Empereur
Muscat D’Alexandrie ($15.99) dessert wine. This luscious after-dinner wine is simply fantastic, given its low price. Try it with fresh fruit, vanilla wafers, or all by itself. My last pick was the Spanish Jorge Ordonez 2007 Monte Oton ($8.99). This 100 percent Garnacha-based red is just the answer for holiday get-togethers when you want to serve the best but have to stay within a budget. My first monthly store tasting took me to Five Points Wine and Bar in Poland. The upcoming holidays would be a good time to try the Montespertoli 2007 Leone Rosso Toscano ($13.99) from Italy. This mostly Syrah blend has upfront dark fruit flavors and a clean-textured finish that should work well with most holiday food fare. Another pick that I’ve reviewed in an earlier column was the South African 2006 Haute Cabriere ($17.99) made of 55 percent Chardonnay and 45 percent Pinot Noir, an unusual combination for this white wine. This distinctive blend should be just fine with Thanksgiving turkey or ham. Medium-bodied Pinot Noir fruit flavors are balanced with a crisp Chardonnay bouquet that goes on forever. Wine Styles in Howland featured wines from Vintners Select wine distributors for my Discovery Series tasting last month.

WINE GUY, FROM PAGE 18 France is a blend of 66 percent old vine Grenache Blanc, 25 percent Chardonnay, and a smidgen of Muscat. Tank-fermented, this juicy white is bursting with pear and apricot fruit flavors. I plan on trying it with my holiday ham this year. A great red to try this holiday season is the 2006 Monkey Business ($17.99) Zinfandel from Sonoma, Calif. Ripe dark cherry fruit flavors and a supple, smoked-tinged finish would be grand if served with a traditional roast goose. A great wine from the store’s Thursday and Saturday tastings was the Lost Angel Petite Sirah ($11.99) from California’s central coast. This value-priced deeply colored red is just plain delicious. Full-bodied and bursting with ripe fruit flavors, this should be just the ticket for a table featuring roast lamb or duck. My last visit of the month took me to Vintage Estate Wine and Beer in Boardman for their third Saturday of the month tasting. The Michael Sullberg 2007 Chardonnay ($11.99) from sourced California fruit is just the answer for holiday parties and gift-giving. Snappy fruit flavors and a crisp finish will keep your guests asking for one more sip. Another budget-priced wine was the Spanish Vino de Turrunos 2007 Siete 7 ($11.99), a blend of 70 percent Garnacha and 20 percent Tempranillo. This tasty red has gobs of black cherry and berry fruit flavors. It finishes round and supple a should be just right for the Thanksgiving turkey on your table. While at the tasting, I learned that the store has new owners, Phil and Sandy Reda. They told me that they’re planning a major addition, including an expanded tasting bar, and I’ll cover more information in future columns. Former owner Ron Bush has been a great help to me and I will sorely miss him, but I look forward to writing about and experiencing the Redas’ visions of things to come. Look to this column for more details on this popular wine destination. For the first time, Southern Park Mall will host a holiday charity wine taste from 7 to 10 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7, with the proceeds benefiting Miracles Unlimited, Inc.

PREVIEW: PERFORMANCE
Allen Vizzutti will perform with the YSU Jazz Ensemble on Monday, Nov. 3.
Jazz concert to feature trumpeter Allen Vizzutti
T
rumpeter Allen Vizzutti will teach a clinic and perform with the YSU Jazz Ensemble 1 as a guest artist on Monday, Nov. 3 during the regularly scheduled jazz concert in Kilcawley Center’s Chestnut Room at YSU. The clinic will be held from 6:30 p.m. until 7:45 p.m., followed by the concert at 8 p.m. The performance will be under the direction of Dr. Kent Engelhardt, head of the YSU Jazz Studies Program. The clinic and concert are free and open to the public. Vizzutti, originally from Montana, was taught by his father, a self-educated musician and trumpet player, and attended the Eastman School of Music on full scholarship. He earned the bachelor of music and master of music degrees, a performer’s certificate, a chair in the Eastman Brass Quintet faculty ensemble, and the only artist’s diploma ever awarded a wind player in Eastman’s 85 year history. During the 1980s, he performed on over 100 motion picture soundtracks, including “Back To the Future� and “Star Trek�, as well as numerous TV shows, commercials and recordings with artists like Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, Chick Corea, the Commodores and Prince. Recent projects include the movies “40 Days and 40 Nights,� “Unfaithfully Yours,� Gridiron Gang,� “Scary Movie Four,� and the “Medal of Honor� and “Halo II� video games. Jazz pianist Chick Corea has said of Vizzutti: “Finely-tuned wind, easy control, polyharmonic wit, orchestral penmanship, punctuated spiritual warmth . . . rarely do so many qualities find themselves in one musician.� Vizzutti’s solo jazz recordings include CDs such as “Trumpet Summit� and “Skyrocket� from Summit Records. Classical CDs currently available from DeHaske Music Publishing Recordings include “The Emerald Concerto and Other Gems�, with the Budapest Radio Orchestra, “Vizzutti Plays Vizzutti� and “Vizzutti and Soli On Tour.� His “High Class Brass,� (also DeHaske Recordings), is a unique classical and jazz blend co-produced, co-written and performed with fellow trumpet artist, composer and conductor, Jeff Tyzik along with a 90 piece studio orchestra. The clinic and guest performance are sponsored by Motter’s Music Inc. and the Yamaha Music Corp. which will also conduct an open trumpet display from 5 p.m. until 6:30, prior to the clinic.

PREVIEW: PERFORMANCE
Opera Western Reserve’s ‘Madama Butterfly’ Nov. 7
O
pera Western Reserve will present Puccini’s classic opera, “Madama Butterfly,” at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 7 at Stambaugh Auditorium. The production will be under the direction of Susan Davenny Wyner, musical director, with staging and scenery by production director David Vosburgh. The opera will be fully staged with orchestra, chorus, sets and costumes and will be sung in the original Italian with English super titles projected above. The performance features Misook Yun as Cio Cio San, Clayton Hilley as Lt. Pinkerton, Irene Roberts as Suzuki, Brian Keith Johnson as Sharpless, and William Clarence Marshall as the Bonze. “Madama Butterfly” has captured the imagination of opera-lovers and theatergoers for over a century. John Luther Long first told the story in short novel from 1898 and David Belasco, the famous director-producer, turned it into a one-act play in 1900. Puccini, who saw the play in London shortly thereafter, fell in love with the fragile Japanese character and her tragic story. Puccini set the play to music in 1904. It has since become one of the mostperformed operas in the world, and even became the inspiration for the hit musical “Miss Saigon.” For reservations and information, call Opera Western Reserve at 330-4800693 or visit their Web site at www. operawesternreserve.org. Tickets are $60, $45, $30 and $15. The Youngstown Opera Guild’s Giorgio Tozzi Scholarship Gala Dinner will precede the performance in Stambaugh’s ballroom.

Many scenes will be recognizable to area residents, including Handel’s ice cream stand, Mill Creek Park, the Royal Oaks and other familiar locations.
