MITCH LYNCH Host/cooking segments
etro Monthly and AddMoxie continue the second season of their “Homeplate” television program with a series of new tapings in and around the Mahoning Valley. “Homeplate,” which began its new season in April, is created and produced by Ron Flaviano of AddMoxie, LLC, and Mark C. Peyko, editor and publisher of the Metro Monthly. “Homeplate,” which is filmed, produced and broadcast in a high-definition format, airs every Saturday at 7 a.m. on WYTV (Channel 33) and at 11:30 a.m. on Sundays on MyYTV. “Homeplate” continues its coverage of locally owned and operated restaurants, food manufacturers and ethnic cooks, but has added local culture, history, health and fitness and home design to the mix. Besides an expanded format, the program also features a diverse, multigenerational lineup. “Homeplate” also includes a weekly historical feature. Culled from the film collection of the Business and Media Archives of the Mahoning Valley, the feature covers topics of local historical importance and interest.
New Jersey native Mitch Lynch comes to the “Homeplate” with impressive kitchen credentials. While earning a chef’s apprenticeship at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Fla., Mitch studied under classically trained European chefs. During this American Culinary Federation apprenticeship, he learned the cooking styles of many different countries. Mitch and his wife, Patricia Tinkler, own Friends Roastery in downtown Salem, where he is chief baker and coffee roaster. He is also a certified fitness and diet coach.

PAULA JASPER Interviewer/host Each week, Paula and viewers discover the region’s sometimes hidden assets during “Explore the Mahoning Valley.” Paula, who also contributes general voice work to “Homeplate,” moved to the Mahoning Valley with her husband, Jack Carlton, in 1993. Paula has extensive teaching and performance credentials and has lived on the West Coast, MidSouth, and New England. With her husband, she assisted in the development and management of the “Murals Project – Museum Without Walls,” which brought art to vacant storefronts in
downtown Youngstown. Paula holds a master’s of fine arts from the University of Memphis and a bachelor’s in fine arts from Pacific Lutheran University.
KEVIN KRALJ Host/design specialist Kevin Kralj and his sister, Kristy Regula, share home improvement and decorating tips with viewers during their “StyleLife” segment. “I enjoy homekeeping (including gardening), entertaining friends, watching Bravo and HGTV, and my Siamese cats,” says Kevin. “My design inspirations are Martha Stewart and Sarah Richardson and my favorite “food” star is Ina Garten, also known as The Barefoot Contessa. “She makes it look so easy,“ Kevin says. A practicing attorney, Kevin works for a Mahoning County governmental agency.
KRISTY REGULA Host/design specialist Kristy, who works as a television producer for WPXI in Pittsburgh, describes herself a “news junkie.” Kristy holds a bachelor’s in broadcast news and a master’s in telecommunications management from Ohio University. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Robert, and their four pets: Munch and Emmy (the cats), and Spanky and Stewart (the shih tzus). “I also enjoy watching anything on Food Network, HGTV and Bravo,” she added. Kristy and her husband are expecting their first child this fall.

United Way kicks off Pacesetter Campaign
Wheatland Tube to add 20 jobs after tax credit
T
T
he United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley announced the beginning of the Pacesetter segment of the annual campaign at a tailgate style luncheon in late July at the United Way office. The Pacesetter Campaign is an early effort designed to “set the pace” for the annual campaign which will kick-off on Sept. 9 with the community-wide Day of Caring. Nearly 40 local businesses, schools, and non-profit organizations are set to conduct early workplace campaigns for the Pacesetter effort. Representatives from these Pacesetter organizations attended the kick-off event for lunch and to receive their campaign materials. The chairwoman for the 2011 Campaign is Dr. Cynthia Anderson, Youngstown State University president. The campaign goal is $2,600,000, a $100,000 increase over last year’s goal. The United Way has adopted the “Teaming Up for a Better Tomorrow” theme for the 2011 Campaign. The Pacesetter organizations for the 2011 Campaign are: AIM NationaLease, Altronic, LLC, American Red Cross, Associated Neighborhood Centers, AT&T Mobility, Belmont Pines Hospital, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Club, Catholic Charities Regional Agency, Compass Family and Community Services, Emmanuel Community Care Center, Fox Youngstown, Gem-Young Insurance and Financial Services, Inc., Help Hotline Crisis Center, Inc., Hill, Barth & King LLC, Home Savings and Loan Company, Interfaith Home Ministries, HandsOn Volunteer Network of the Valley (HOVN), Huntington Bank, Macy’s Distribution Center, Macy’s Southern Park Mall, Mahoning County Career and Technical Center, Mahoning County District Board of Health, Park Vista of Youngstown, Potential Development Program, Sam’s Club – Boardman, Second Harvest Foodbank, Springfield Local School District, Struthers City Schools, Target – Boardman, Trumbull Industries,
he Ohio Tax Credit Authority in late July approved a 40-percent job creation tax credit over six years for an expansion project at Wheatland Tube’s Howland facility that will involve an investment of $11.4 million and create 20 jobs. The growth at Wheatland’s Trumbull County facility will enable the company to increase production and enhance their efficiencies in the Oil Country Tubular Goods market (OCTG). Sarah Boyarko, manager of business development for the Regional Chamber who attended the tax credit authority hearing in Columbus with company representatives, said the new jobs will create nearly $800,000 in additional annual payroll, noting that “Such well- paying employment opportunities in Trumbull County are always good to see.” The tax credit has an estimated value of $54,000. Currently, Wheatland Tube, a division of JMC Steel Group, employs 143 employees at its plant at 901 Dietz Road N.E., Howland.

St. Joseph the Provider School moves to Brier Hill Bishop George V. Murry, S.J. has announced that St. Joseph the Provider Catholic Elementary School will moves its school site from its present location in Campbell to the school building located at St. Anthony Parish at 1125 Turin Ave. in
Youngstown. The name of the school will remain St. Joseph the Provider. This move will occur with the opening of the school for the 2011-2012 school year. The major reason for this site change is that a large percentage of the St. Joseph the Provider students reside in city of Youngstown. Moving the school to Youngstown will enhance the school’s ability to better serve the students and their families, making transportation and participation in school events more accessible. Rev. Michael Swierz, former pastor of St. Joseph the Provider Parish, has been named the president of the school and will be responsible for continuing to develop the school in terms of marketing, development, finances, and physical plant. Cheryl Jablonski will continue as the school’s principal and the majority of the teachers will follow the school to its new site. Dr. Nicholas Wolsonovich, Acting Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese, endorsed the move, stating that the school should now be in a more strategic location to better serve the students and families.

MAHONING VALLEY
BY RON FLAVIANO SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY
M
any people from the Mahoning Valley and surrounding areas have fond memories of Youngstown’s Idora Park, which closed in 1984. Tucked away in a neighborhood on the South Side of the city, Idora almost seemed like a hidden treasure. No matter how many times I would drive through Mill Creek Park, it was always a surprise to see the framework of roller coasters looming above the trees, like sentinels watching over the long-forgotten amusement park. I spent many summer days at Idora Park with my family during childhood. My dad was an electrician at American Welding [AmWeld] in Niles, and it held its annual company picnics at Idora Park. For Idora, and many small amusement parks in middle America, company picnics were a great source of income. For my family and me, it was a great source of fun. My sister, cousins and I looked forward to it every year. Unlike Cedar Point or Geauga Lake, Idora Park wasn’t a large sprawling park, just roughly 30 acres of fun and games. You didn’t have to drive very far to get there either, although it seemed like it took forever as a child. Because it was such a compact amusement park, Idora always felt very comfortable. You never worried much about finding your parents when you were out on the midway or enjoying the rides. You always felt that they were nearby, either in the picnic area or maybe enjoying some of the famous Idora fries doused with vinegar and salt. Since the park was very affordable, we often went in addition to the AmWeld picnics. Sometimes we were lucky enough to get Ridora tickets, which let you ride everything all day long. I have many vivid memories of Idora Park: the weird smell on the inside of the Lost River ride; the air whizzing past as we whirled on the Rocket Ride; climbing the stone steps to the picnic areas; the talking garbage cans; the incessant buzzing of the canopy-covered rides in Kiddieland; and the floating neon ceiling of the ballroom. One trip from the late 1970s was full of memorable mishaps. The first incident was on the bumper cars. We all loved the excitement of bashing into each other and the electrically charged, sulfur smell of the ride. My cousins, my sister and I waited patiently as each group in front of us got their chance to drive like maniacs. After about 10 minutes, which in Idora time was a long wait, it was our turn. As we scrambled into our cars with the rest of the crowd, we waited for the sparks to fly above us that allowed us to drive. SEE IDORA PARK, PAGE 10

Well, I’ve had the fun of wearing glasses since the second grade, and they’ve always presented an issue on rides. The dilemma: take them off and not see anything and drive really crazy, or wear them and risk my glasses falling off during the ride. This time, I chanced it. No sooner had the ride started when my cousin, Janene, smashed into me. That sent my glasses flying onto the dirty floor, in danger of being crushed by another car! Without a second thought, I popped out of my car and started crawling around, trying to save my glasses. I found them just in the nick of time. Only one of the stems was bent, as they only had been half run over. The ride operator, shocked to see someone out of a car and on the floor, immediately shut off the ride. He then made everyone leave. He shouted that I wasn’t supposed to be out there, and I told him that my glasses flew off. Many profanities were murmured after everyone had to get back in line for the ride. I was particularly fond of the Jack Rabbit roller coaster. Although it was much tamer than the Wild Cat, the Jack Rabbit packed a punch. There was little holding you in the Jack Rabbit’s car—just a worn leather strap and a little hook-latch that was usually sprung. As you rounded the big curve at the top, it wasn’t surprising to see little pieces of black stuff, like shingles, falling to the ground. I was never sure what that was, but it didn’t seem to affect the safety of the ride. The Jack Rabbit’s hills and dips made you fly out of your seat, so you definitely had to hold on! The ride’s orange and turquoise paint is still fresh in my mind. It was after one of our many rides on the Jack Rabbit that afternoon that my parents announced that it was time to head home. We begged and pleaded for just one more ride. Because the Spider was near the exit, that would be the one. The Spider, with its tentacle-like arms and two sets of cars spinning wildly, was always a favorite. However, that day the ride was an extended version. We all boarded the ride expecting it be our last two-minute spin before going home, but we were wrong. After the spinning and lifting started, the ride operator must have gone on a cigarette break. We were on that ride for a good 10 minutes or more; finally everyone started yelling and hollering to be let off. We weren’t in any danger, just dizzy and nauseated. I remember my cousin Robbie had sipped too much of a blue slush drink just before the ride. Still, we went back to Idora Park many more times after that eventful Saturday. My memories of Idora Park are not unique. Tens of thousands of Mahoning Valley residents enjoyed the amusement park over its 85-year existence. Sometimes referred to as Youngstown’s Million-Dollar Playground,” Idora Park began as Terminal Park in 1899. The park and its picnic grounds were located at the end of a trolley line on Youngstown’s South Side. It had become commonplace for amusement parks to spring up at the end of trolley lines to spur real estate development. Eventually, after a naming contest was held, the
park was called Idora Park before the 1890 season. Initially, the attractions were pretty basic—a bandstand, dance pavilion, swing ride and concessions stands. As the years went by, Idora developed into a park with many rides and attractions, including one of the nation’s top 10 best wooden roller coasters, the Wild Cat. Picnics were held there each summer for dozens of local factories and businesses. It was like a hidden getaway from the mills and city streets. Beautiful landscaping and flowers added color and vibrancy to the park. The Idora Park Ballroom was one of the largest in the nation and hosted many famous acts over its history. The Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey orchestras played Idora, as did many other popular acts. Idora was indeed a very special place. Even after similar parks closed throughout the nation, Idora managed to keep on going. However, when Youngstown’s steel mills began shutting down in the late 1970s, it hurt the park because company picnics were Idora’s bread and butter. But lack of attendance didn’t silence the carousel music or stop the park’s coasters in their tracks. A tragic fire in the spring of 1984 ultimately spelled Idora’s demise. While workers were doing repairs on the Lost River, a work torch ignited some of the dark ride’s interior decorations. Although park employees and over 10 fire companies battled to save the amusement park’s endangered attractions, the dry wooden structures burned easily. After the blaze had been put out, the Lost River, park offices, several concession stands and a portion of the legendary Wild Cat roller coaster had been destroyed. The park’s owners decided that it would be cost prohibitive to rebuild the Wild Cat but managed to open for the 1984 summer season. However, visitors knew that the end was near. Even though the carousel and other attractions had been spared, the heart of Idora—the Wild Cat—was gone. Plastic pennants (similar to those seen at car lots) roped off the coaster, but its charred remains were within view of patrons. It was a very sad time. At the end of the season, the park’s owners decided that Idora would close, as no one had shown interest in buying the park. The main rides including the carousel and many of the park’s other items were sold at an auction in the fall of 1984. Youngstown’s Million-Dollar Playground was no more. I was a sophomore in high school at the time and was deeply saddened over the situation, as were countless residents of the Mahoning Valley. There was a little bit of hope that the park may be reborn in some way, as a local church had purchased it. But that hope faded as the years went by and Idora’s buildings fell victim to mysterious fires. By 1992, my friend Ann and I were completely disgusted over the situation at Idora. We had watched Idora decay further and witnessed a group’s failed attempt to buy and restore the park. Ann had grown up on the North Side of Youngstown and spent many summer days at Idora. We had SEE IDORA PARK, PAGE 11

become friends in college, and after graduation we ended up working together for a few years. It was during that time that we decided to see what we could do to help our long lost park. Idora was never really secured that well after it closed, so it was easy to sneak in and visit our old friend. We visited the park several times over 1992 and 1993. We wanted to photograph and videotape the park to somehow freeze it in our memories. Even though most of the attractions were gone and many of the buildings had burned, it was still Idora. The hulking ruin of the Wild Cat still roared out of the treetops, and most of it was intact. However, at the end of one of its precarious dips, the charred frame of the coaster was abruptly cut off. The coaster’s boarding platform and housing was all intact, as was the Jack Rabbit, Kiddieland and the carousel barn. Weeds had sprung up throughout many of the blacktop paths, but the park was still identifiable. If you stood in certain sections of the park, where the damage couldn’t be seen, it appeared as if nothing was wrong. Sometimes it felt like at any given moment hundreds of school kids would be rushing in to line up for the rides. Although it was sobering and quite sad to see Idora in this state, it also was like returning to a childhood playground. While there, we felt like we owned the park. We were the only two people there, going from one building to the next, taking pictures of everything. Filled with childlike enthusiasm, we ran to the Jack Rabbit and climbed onto the platform, gingerly stepping over broken and decayed floorboards. Both of us took turns with the coaster brake handle, pretending that we were letting park patrons off the ride. We did the same on the Wild Cat platform. There we heard something that really surprised us. Although there was music blaring from a radio nearby [Idora was located in the middle of a residential neighborhood], we both could distinctly hear something like carousel music. Not pronounced or completely clear, but almost as if it were part of the wind. Neither of us mentioned it until we left the park, but we were shocked to learn we had heard the same thing. It was like the spirit of Idora Park was trying to say hello to us for taking the time to stop by. We took hundreds of photos that day, including some inside the ballroom. Our last visit to Idora Park was one of the most harrowing. Ann and I had decided that we were going to try to shoot some dramatic video inside the park as part of a mystery movie we were trying to make. I parked my car at the end of the street entrance to the park, and we climbed over the turnstile to get in. This time was a little different, as we felt a bit like cat burglars. While deep inside the park, we saw two police officers investigating my car. Scared that we had been caught trespassing, we hid inside the Hooterville Highway tunnel until they left. All that was running through my mind was that they were going to tow my car away! Since we thought we were going to be es-

The same ballroom window had afforded us entry in the past, and it was out of sight of the police officers. We explored as much as we could inside and took many photographs. We lifted an incredibly heavy cash register up onto the ballroom’s bar to get a better view of it, and we discovered an entire room filled with Idora Park wooden folding chairs. We noticed that the “I Want Idora Back” signs that we had posted earlier all over the ballroom had been removed, so someone had been there recently. There was a huge copier in several pieces strewn next to the bar, and boxes of papers were everywhere. Water had damaged many portions of the beautiful ballroom ceiling, in turn damaging the hardwood floor below. The coatroom was intact and still had hundreds of hooks for the ballroom dancers’ wraps and overcoats. The bathrooms had been vandalized over the years, and many of the fixtures were either gone or broken. Even in its state of disrepair, the ballroom still had a sense of grandeur. You could almost imagine dancers gliding across the floor to big-band music. Then Ann discovered the ballroom’s breaker box. Could it be that there was still power in the building? With each switch that she flipped, pools of multicolored neon lights filled what was left of the floating ceiling. It was pure magic. Nearly every light was on, and the ballroom was transformed from a dark, decaying, abandoned building to a promising fixer-upper. The stage, which had been home to bands ranging from Glenn Miller to the Monkees, was bathed in light, its tattered curtains hanging up above. A lonely grand piano sat in the middle of the dance floor, hopelessly out of tune but stately nonetheless. We were astonished that the building had any power at all, since it had not been used for many years. We took advantage of all the beautiful lighting and photographed and videotaped the interior extensively. It was like we sensed that this was the last time we would see this place, and we wanted to capture what we could. After about an hour of exploration and illumination, we turned all the lights off and left everything as we found it. Later, we both wished that we could have been able to take one or two of the wooden Idora chairs, but we didn’t want to chance being arrested. As we hoisted ourselves over the turnstile and made it back to the car, we realized that our last ride at Idora was an adventurous one indeed.

BY WILLIAM S. PEYKO SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY
Editor’s note: The following article is a recap of the efforts of a group of Youngstowners to assist in the rebuilding of New Orleans many years after Hurricane Katrina. During this trip, the group spent a lot of time undoing the substandard work of others. Despite setbacks, the group had the chance to meet with homeowners from earlier work trips, and they also attended a wedding.
W
e left Youngstown on Thursday, June 9 bound for New Orleans. During this trip, our crew consisted of five people – John Pitzulo, his wife, Veronica, Joe Fraser, Joe Baker, and me, Bill Peyko. Along for the ride was Carole Bigelow, the mother of a future groom (and former Youngstowner) whose wedding we planned to attend on Saturday. We traveled from Youngstown until we reached Nashville, where we stopped for dinner. We then continued on to Alabama, near Tuscaloosa, which recently was battered by a tornado. It was hard to find lodging because of an influx of cleanup workers trying to get rooms for the night. However, we were successful and stayed the night. At 7 a.m., we headed for New Orleans. We traveled through an area where a tornado had hit. For those of us who had been in the area after Katrina, it was like traveling back in time. There were damaged and uprooted trees, and although it was not as severe as Katrina, the scene reminded us of our first visit. We continued and arrived in New Orleans around 2 p.m. We dropped Carole off at her son’s house, and then went to our destination for lodging. Some of the places we’ve stayed at left much to be desired. This was definitely one of them. There were about 30 of us in the building. There were two toilets and two showers upstairs, and one toilet and shower downstairs. There weren’t any working smoke alarms in the building, and the downstairs outer door was very flimsy and easily accessible. Happy we were not! We freshened up, and attended a party the night before the wedding. It took place at a posh and private club house on Lake Ponchartrain called “La Mason du Lac.” Barbecued shrimp and crawfish were the main attraction, as well as rice, salad and some type of ground-meat concoction. All the food was very tasty. We saw various sailboats leaving and returning to the area. There were small craft of all kinds as well as seagoing ships. We left at about 10 p.m. and the group retired for the evening. Saturday, June 11, 2011 We attended Jenny and Robert Bigelow’s wedding at St. Dominic’s in New Orleans. The church was very similar to St. Columba Cathedral in Youngstown and the bell tower was identical. It was a solemn wedding, and all the participants did their duties flawlessly. Rev. Ed Brienz of Youngstown celebrated

The wedding reception was held at a former mansion now called “The House of Broer.” It reminded us of the Old South, with its lavish surroundings. The guests were treated to hors d’oeuvres as well as a four-piece band led by a very talented young trumpeter who could play any music – from dance music to jazz. We circulated with the other guests. When they heard we were from Ohio, and learned the real purpose of our visit, they thanked us over and over again.
Sunday, June 12, 2011 Veronica Pitzulo and I walked about three or four miles near where we were staying. At 1 p.m., we went to the home of a New Orleans resident where we had worked several years ago. We had a New Orleans-style dinner with Lisa, the homeowner, and her two daughters. We visited and talked for a couple of hours. We then left to go to the airport to pick up a couple more workers, Michelle Gearhart and Frank Rosetta. After we picked them up, we headed for
the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. On the way, we encountered a heavy storm. Once we got to the church, Rev. Brienz officiated Mass. Regardless of the faith a person follows, this congregation is unique. You can feel the raw energy these folks display. A visitor can’t help but get caught up in their enthusiasm and fervor. Their pastor, Rev. Tony, gave a brief speech about the Youngstown ties to New Orleans. He had us stand up and we were given a round of applause! I was beginning to feel like a celebrity. We went out to eat and the crew was picking on me (except for Michelle and Frank, but I’m sure that will change). Monday, June 13, 2011 We went to an orientation meeting at the St. Bernard Project. John Pitzulo questioned the person in charge. He wanted to know if the insulation had been installed before the drywall. In a condescending tone, she replied: “We know what we are doing.” When we arrived on the job, we discovered that drywall had been installed without the insulation. In addition, windows had been installed incorrectly, and this was just the beginning of the problems we faced on the trip. If John Pitzulo had not been there, the job would have been shut down. A group of about 15 undertook various tasks. I did a lot of sweeping, bagging and hauling of discarded drywall. Veronica was on my case, and kept making me take breaks outside of the sun. She was looking out for me! We quit at 4 p.m. – much earlier and a change from our earlier visits. Tuesday, June 14, 2011 We left for the job at 7:30 a.m. When we got there, a new group from St. Patrick’s in Youngstown had arrived. The St. Pat’s group sang “Happy Birthday” to me and gave me a card with their well-wishes. They also gave me a box of cookies, which I shared with the group. Actually, they were one day early on the birthday, but I didn’t tell them any differently; I thought I’d milk it! I spent most of the morning floating. I assisted with drywalling. I removed nails from studs and helped remove the incorrectly installed windows. True to form, Frank (the newbie) started picking on me. (It’s tough being a nice person.) An inspector named Mike called us together and told us the bad news, which was really bad. The drywall that had been installed by our group had to be removed. SEE KATRINA, PAGE 13
METRO MONTHLY | AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2011 KATRINA, FROM PAGE 12
AT ONE JOB, WE DISCOVERED THAT DRYWALL HAD BEEN INSTALLED WITHOUT INSULATION UNDERNEATH AND WINDOWS HAD BEEN PUT IN INCORRECTLY. THIS WAS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE PROBLEMS WE FACED ON THE TRIP. Entry ways had to be deconstructed, reinforced, and corrected to conform to building codes. Of course, this put a damper on the crew. Adjustments and corrections were made, and we cleaned up and put all of the materials away. Tomorrow would be another day. Wednesday, June 15, 2011 Today is really my birthday, and I have been assigned to work with children going on a visit to the museum. I was there to help Michelle Gearhart. She asked me to keep an eye on one child, who proved to be a handful. She was supposedly a smart child, but when she did some coloring, she merely scribbled and misbehaved. The other children all signed a birthday card, which sister handed me as we boarded the bus for the ride to the museum. The children were told not to touch anything at the museum. Surprisingly, they did not. They seemed to enjoy the artifacts and were reasonably quiet. During lunch at the museum, the child I was assigned to watch wanted to climb trees. I told her no and she wasn’t too happy with me. All in all, the day went pretty well, but I called Frank, said “Help!� and hung up. I also called Joe B. and said “I can’t take it anymore!� – giving them the impression how hard we had it, but really was rubbing it in. After the museum, we went to the Bigelows and had gumbo, salad and grits. At the end of the meal, a pecan pie arrived (with a candle) and everyone sang “Happy Birthday.� My daughter, Marshawn, called from Ohio and sang “Happy Birthday� five times. My sons Mark and Chris also called to wish me a happy birthday. Thursday, June 16, 2011 We had breakfast at St. Jude’s Mission – scrambled eggs, bacon and grits. We arrived on the job at 8 a.m., minus Joe, who had some kind of allergy. He stayed at our place of lodging. Everyone kept quite busy correcting the problems that the inspector said needed to be made for the house to conform to building codes. I swept and removed all of the damaged and discarded drywall. It was really hot and humid during this trip. (There will be a never-ending pile of drywall tomorrow, but not for me; I was assigned to help out at an art show.) Tonight, we are going to Bubba Gump’s for dinner. When Rev. Ed Brienz is in town, Thursday is Bubba Gump night. There were about 50 of us in the group and we arrived at 7 p.m. It was a loud
MAHONING VALLEY
and boisterous group and everyone was in a party mood. The master of ceremonies started asking trivia questions about the movie “Forrest Gump,� and our table had several winners. We all ordered and it seemed like no two people got the same thing. There was a lot of food sampling. During dessert, the M.C. made an announcement: “There’s a person who has a birthday . . . and the only way he’ll get dessert . . . is if he comes up and shakes it all out!� So, I went to work for my dessert. At about 9 p.m., the group broke up and mingled on the sidewalk. It seemed like everyone hated to leave the party. After the affair, Rev. Ed Brienz gave me a choice – I could spend Friday with the children, or spend it with the drywall. His tone led me to believe that he wanted me on the job. I’ve been around him long enough to read him, so the children lost out! Friday, June 17, 2011 Michelle Gearhart and Frank Rosetta flew back to Youngstown today. At the job, discarded drywall was waiting for me. I swept floors and applied mud on the drywall seams. I also accompanied Joe Fraser when he drove the St. Patrick’s group back. I sat with Rev. Ed Noga, pastor of St. Patrick’s, and we discussed the editor of the Metro Monthly. It was gratifying to hear positive remarks about my number two son. We dropped off the group and went to pick up Veronica and John Pitzulo and then headed back to our place of lodging. That evening, when we were discussing where to eat, Veronica got a voice mail from Sister Regina Marie (a friend and colleague in New Orleans). She said they were waiting for us at Lettie’s, whose home we had worked on several times during earlier trips. We had a nice talk, and an even nicer New Orleans meal – fried chicken, rice, gumbo and a key lime pie (which is sister’s specialty) for dessert! We chatted some more, then went back to prepare for tomorrow’s departure. Saturday, June 18, 2011 We met Rev. Ed Noga and his group for breakfast around 7 a.m. (The group included Noga and volunteers I only knew on a first-name basis: Debbie, Irene, Colleen, Hank, Roy, Rick, Adam, Joann and Evan. Tom Gibbons from St. Dominic’s also came with the group. Coincidentally, we had two priests named Ed on this trip. I once overheard Rev. Ed Noga say to Rev. Ed Brienz: “Two Eds are better than one.� (This is the kind of humor we’ve been subjected to on the trip.) After breakfast, we left for Ohio and another New Orleans trip was history. We had hoped to see Miss Lydia (a New Orleans homeowner and dear friend whose home we had work on during several visits), but she had been dealt another devastating blow. Her house, which we had rebuilt three years ago, was examined by Catholic Charities. She was told that she and her blind daughter had to move. Her house contained contaminated drywall from China and she wasn’t covered for replacement. How much more can this poor, upbeat person take?

Majority of hospitals do not fully support breastfeeding CDC report shows missed early opportunities for preventing childhood obesity FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL
B
reastfeeding protects against childhood obesity, yet fewer than 4 percent of U.S. hospitals provide the full range of support mothers need to be able to breastfeed, according to the most recent Vital Signs report recently released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Improving rates of breastfeeding by providing better hospital support to mothers and babies is an important strategy to improve children’s health, including a reduced risk of childhood obesity. “Hospitals play a vital role in supporting a mother to be able to breastfeed,” said CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P.H. “Those first few hours and days that a mom and her baby spend learning to breastfeed are critical. Hospitals need to better support breastfeeding, as this is one of the most important things a mother can do for her newborn. Breastfeeding helps babies grow up healthy and reduces health care costs.” The report, published online at www. cdc.gov/vitalsigns, examined data from CDC’s national survey of Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition and Care (mPINC). It finds that only 14 percent of hospitals have a written, model breastfeeding policy. The report also finds that in nearly 80 percent of hospitals, healthy breastfeeding infants are given formula when it is not medically necessary, a practice that makes it much harder for mothers and babies to learn how to breastfeed and continue breastfeeding at home. Additionally, only one–third of hospitals practice rooming in, which helps
IMPROVING RATES OF BREASTFEEDING IS AN IMPORTANT STRATEGY TO IMPROVE CHILDREN’S HEALTH, INCLUDING A REDUCED RISK OF OBESITY, THE STUDY SAYS. mothers and babies learn to breastfeed by allowing frequent chances to breastfeed. Finally, the report finds that in nearly 75 percent of hospitals, mothers and babies do not get the support they need when they leave the hospital, including a follow–up visit, a phone call from hospital staff and referrals to lactation consultants, WIC and other important support systems in their community. CDC’s mPINC survey measures the percent of U.S. hospitals with practices that are consistent with the WHO/UNICEF Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding. This list of proven hospital practices that increase rates of breastfeeding by providing support to mothers is the core of the Baby–Friendly Hospital Initiative and is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The steps include: ◆ Not giving healthy, breastfeeding infants food or drink other than breast milk unless there is a medical need for it; ◆ Encouraging mothers to room in, staying with their baby 24 hours a day; ◆ Connecting mothers with support groups and other resources to help with breastfeeding after they leave the hospital. A hospital can be designated as Baby– Friendly when it has made special efforts to support mothers to start and continue breastfeeding and when it demonstrates that it follows all of the Ten Steps to Successful
Breastfeeding. “In the United States most women want to breastfeed, and most women start,” said Ursula Bauer, Ph.D., M.P.H., director of CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. “But without hospital support many women have a hard time continuing to breastfeed, and they stop early. It is critical that hospitals take action to fully support breastfeeding mothers and babies so they can continue to breastfeed long after their hospital stay.” Low rates of breastfeeding add $2.2 billion a year to medical costs. Babies who are fed formula and stop breastfeeding early have higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and respiratory and ear infections, and tend to require more doctor visits, hospitalizations and prescriptions. Changing hospital practices to better support mothers and babies can improve these rates. Some actions hospitals can take include: ◆ Implementing the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding; ◆ Partnering with Baby–Friendly hospitals to learn how to improve maternity care; ◆ Using CDC’s mPINC survey data to prioritize changes to improve maternity care practices; ◆ Stopping distribution of formula samples and give–aways to breastfeeding mothers. For more information about CDC’s efforts to improve hospital practices to support breastfeeding, visit www.cdc.gov/ breastfeeding. For more information about state breastfeeding rates and activities to support breastfeeding, visit www.cdc.gov/ breastfeeding/data/reportcard.htm
umility of Mary Health Partners has announced that it has received $16,000 in grant funding from the Cardinal Health Foundation to improve operating room safety and efficiency. Humility of Mary Health Partners will use funding from the Cardinal Health Foundation to implement an improved and expanded surgical safety checklist system for every surgical procedure. As part of this project, HMHP will provide targeted training and resources for physicians and staff in order to improve effectiveness and increase communication in all 34 HMHP surgery rooms. In 2011, the Cardinal Health E3 Grant Program awarded more than $1 million in grant funding to help nearly 40 health care providers in 20 states improve the excellence, effectiveness and efficiency of health care they provide to patients. For the second consecutive year, this competitive grant program specifically encouraged providers to submit funding requests for programs that seek to improve medication management or operating room safety.
St. Joe’s vigil on Aug. 23 The St. Joseph Auxiliary will hold a candlelight vigil and memorial service at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 23 in the hospital’s Healing Garden. Candles will be lighted in memory of or in honor of a loved one or friend, or for a special intention such as a blessing/birthday/anniversary. The evening will include a short service, music and refreshments. Names of those being recognized will be printed in a program book. For more information about the event, contact the St. Joseph volunteer office, 330-841-4375. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Healing Garden including plants, trees, flowers and ongoing maintenance. The deadline for names to be listed in the book is Aug. 8. The rain date for this event is Sunday, Aug. 25. Participants are encouraged to purchase candles at $10 each prior to the event. Candles may be purchased through order forms in the hospital’s Silver Bow Gift Shop or the volunteer office. Candles will be given to the purchaser at the end of the service.
Grant aids YMCA mission Through a grant from the Hine Memorial Fund from the Youngstown Foundation, more than 500 area children and youth have had access to the programs, services and special events at the YMCA of Youngstown in the past year. The $55,000 grant helped fund a comprehensive physical education program, swimming lessons and water safety skill classes. The grant also underwrote programs and special events at Camp Fitch, including programs for physically challenged youth at Orthopedic Camp, a SpinaBifida family weekend, Speech and Hearing Camp and a special week-long family camp for families of children with disabilities. “Through the support of the Hine Memorial Fund, the Y is able to continue its commitment to building healthy kids. We see these programs and events as a chance for our area children to develop healthy lifestyles, build confidence and self-esteem and grow up to be strong, healthy adults,” said Tim Hilk, chief executive officer of the YMCA of Youngstown.

A locally raised free-range chicken lettuce wrap with papaya-coconut dipping sauce was paired to a 2009 Estimulo Sauvignon Blanc from Mendoza, Argentina. Bright citrus flavors and a crisp finish worked hand in hand with the dipping sauce to make this a delicious starter course. Our next course was jumbo squash blossoms stuffed with citrus crab and cream cheese, paired to Spain’s famous Cordorniu Brut sparkling white wine. Cordorniu’s lemony flavors and yeasty long finish nicely complemented the rich crab and cream cheese. Springfield’s homegrown herbs were tossed with figs and locally grown apples in a roasted shallot vinaigrette for a tasty third course. Joseph Drouin’s 2009 Beaujolais Villages from France was chosen to accompany this exciting dish. Soft berry flavors and a ripe banana-tinged finish provided a perfect foil for this tasty dish. A local farm-raised English roast with vegetable ragout (vegetable stew) was paired to a biodynamically-produced Paul Dolan 2007 Deep Red from Mendocino County, Cailf. One of the most sustainable forms of farming, biodynamics treats the farm as an ecosystem, and is thought to be the oldest organic gardening method. It has long been practiced in Europe, and has also caught on in the U.S. Made in a traditional field blend style, this rich full-bodied red was just the ticket for the English roast and ragout. Springfield’s dessert course is always a favorite of mine. This month, they featured raspberry rhubarb bars with Cabernet-infused vanilla ice cream. South Australia’s Oxford Landings 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon was chosen to go with this flavorsome dessert. Deeply colored with dark red fruit flavors, it was a real treat with the Cabernet-tinged ice cream. If you haven’t attended Springfield’s monthly dinner taste, you have a real treat in store for you. For more information, contact the restaurant or look for my column for their next taste. On July 26 and 28, the Wine and Dine Ohio tasting group held two tastings at Selah Restaurant in Struthers. Wines from Buckeye Beverage distributors were paired to Selah’s fantastic menu for an evening of fine food and wine. The first wine poured was a 2009 Clos de Nouys Vouvray Demi-Sec from the Loire region of France. Co-owner Jeffrey Chann prepared an in-house Seattle-style smoked salmon appetizer for this event, and it was perfect with the Demi-Sec. Supple citrus peach flavors and refreshing acidity worked flawlessly with the smoked salmon starter course. Blue Hill mussels from Maine, prepared by co-owner and Chef Brian Palumbo, were paired to a 2008 Sleight of Hand Renegade White from Yakima, Wash. for a bi-coastal treat. A blend of Pinot Gris, Roussanne, Marsanne, Semillon, and Chardonnay, it just oozes tropical fruit flavors and finishes clean with a hint of

The chicken Francaise was also a good choice for this summery white wine. The Piedmont region of northern Italy is the source of the next wine, the 2009 Bava Piemonte Thou Bianc Chardonnay. The Piedmont is known for their delicious red Barbarescos and Barolos, but they also make some of the world’s nicest Chardonnays. The Thou Bianc receives no wood aging and produces textbook Chardonnay grape flavors. Selah’s homemade ricotta gnocchi was a match made in heaven for this tasty Italian Chardonnay. One of my favorite dishes at Selah is their take on coq au vin. Chicken, mushrooms and roasted peppers cooked in a red wine produce a rustic home-cooked style dinner that demands a full-bodied style of red wine. Les Moirets Cote du Rhone worked perfectly with the coq au vin. Rich, intense red fruit flavors and a textured, spice-tinged finish proved to be a crowd favorite. Our final wine hails from California’s Great Lake County district. The 2008 Writer’s Block Cabernet Franc has a dollop of Syrah, Merlot, and Zinfandel added for complexity. This is truly Cabernet Franc at its best. Those that ordered the bourbon-glazed beef tips simply raved about the pairing. With broad dark fruit flavors and a smoky, spicy finish, this wine will reward the patient wine collector who wants to try aging it for 7 to 10 years. My Wine and Dine Ohio partner Jim Howe and I would like to thank Selah partners Brian Palumbo and Jeff Chann for hosting two enjoyable evenings of hand-prepared food and wines. Special thanks to guitarist Julius “Julio” Veal for sharing his talents at the Thursday evening taste. Our next event is on Thursday, Sept. 29 at Station Square. On June 30, Station Square Ristorante held a six-bottle-selection wine taste. Diners were presented with six different wines from Buckeye Bevereage Distributors and were able to choose dinners from Chef Ottavio’s extensive
A LOCALLY RAISED FREE-RANGE CHICKEN WRAP WITH PAPAYA-COCONUT DIPPING SAUCE WAS PAIRED TO A 2009 ESTIMULO SAUVIGNON BLANC FROM ARGENTINA. menu. My first pick was the 2009 Hyatt Black Muscat Rose ($12.99) from the Rattlesnake Hills district of Washington. Cinnamon-infused citrus flavors and a racy, clean finish make this fine choice for midsummer dining. For the adventuresome among us, try this wonderful rose with roasted turkey at Thanksgiving. My red selection was the 2008 Jed Steele Red Hills Cabernet Sauvignon from California’s Lake County, the source of many fine wines – and Jed Steele’s are among the finest. Creamy smoketinged red fruit flavors followed by a long spicy finish make this red wine a treat to sample. Moving on the store tastings, Michael Charles Premier Wines on Elm Road had a number of great wines this month for sampling. A perennial favorite of mine was the 2009 Le Grand Bouqueteau Chinon Rose from France’s Loire region. Made from 100 percent Cabernet Franc, it exhibits supple strawberry fruit flavors followed by a refreshingly crisp finish. My red pick hails from Spain. The 2003 Yonna Campo de Borja ($12.99, down from $25) is a tasty blend of Garnacha (35 percent, 100-year-old vines) Tempranillo (60 percent, 40-year-old vines), and touch of Syrah (5 percent) to round it out. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it should reward you if you have the patience to set it aside for 5 to 7 years of aging. Rich and mellow red fruit flavors give way to a supple finish that is just amazing. Wine Styles in Howland was the next destination for their biweekly wine taste. This month, they were featuring a fine array of white wines to sample. I especially liked the Argyle Brut ($27.99) sparkling wine from Or-

egon. Argyle produces one of the finest sparklers made in this country at a comparatively affordable price. This wine features yeasty citrus fruit flavors followed by a finish tinged with fresh bread dough aromas. Another favorite was the 2009 St. Supery Oak-Free Chardonnay ($18.99) from Napa Valley. Chardonnay from Napa Valley at under $20 a bottle is something of a rarity today. This classic example exhibits bursting citrus flavors and a crisp, lingering finish that would be just the thing for sautéed scallops and shrimp in a buttery wine sauce. Vintage Estate Wine and Beer in Boardman featured a fantastic stable of Italian wines from L.A. Dick Imports of Canton. The company’s sales manager Claudia Dick was on hand to pour samples and describe her wines to the attendees. Her Lugana di Sirmione DOC White $16.99) is produced from 100 percent Trebbiano di Lugana grapes, exuding peachy banana and almond flavors followed by a crisp, tangy finish. This would be a nice change of pace from the many over-oaked Chardonnays on the market today. If you’re looking for something different for late summer and fall dinners, give the Stella Italia Lambrusco Amabile Rosso ($10.99) a try. This light bodied, semi-sweet frizzantestyle bubbly is just the answer for antipasto or sliced cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto on a warm summer afternoon. My trip to Charlie’s Fine Wines in Howland proved to be very productive. Two wines from the Pacific Northwest really stood out. My first choice was the 2009 Anne Amie Pinot Blanc ($19.99) from Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Hand-picked and aged in French oak (10 percent new) it just oozed crisp citrus flavors and a supple, vanilla-tinged finish. The next wine I tried is from the Pines Vineyard in the Columbia Valley south of The Dalles, Oregon. Made from turn-of-the-century vines, the 2008 Old Vine Zinfandel from Sineann Vineyard is a work of winemaking art. If you thought the best Zinfandels only come from California, do yourself a favor and give this great red a try. Highly aromatic with oodles of red fruit flavors, it has an amazingly textured finish. They don’t produce a lot of this wine, so call the shop and reserve a bottle for your next special occasion. Upcoming events include Wine and Dine Ohio’s event at Thursday, Sept. 29 at Station Square in Liberty. To make a reservation or get on our email list for Wine and Dine Ohio event information, call 330-651-8676, or email jmwineguy@gmail.com to provide your contact information. The Springfield Grille in Boardman and Five Points Wine and Bar will hold their monthly wine tastes – call those locations for more details. Other regular tastings include Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland, every Saturday; Wine Styles, every other week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; Vintage Estate, third Saturday tasting; and Michael Charles Premier Wines on Elm Road, second Saturday tasting. Here’s to cooler weather!

HOW TO MAKE IT â&#x20AC;˘ Lay ribs on a generous section of aluminum foil. â&#x20AC;˘ Mix together dry-rub ingredients in a small bowl. â&#x20AC;˘ Rub both sides of the ribs with the dryrub mixture. â&#x20AC;˘ Be sure to use an ample amount of foil when wrapping the ribs during the rub phase. You will later be able to take the ribs directly from the refrigerator to the oven for roasting.) â&#x20AC;˘ Let the ribs sit in the fridge overnight.
For the glaze, you can use your favorite barbecue sauce. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also recommend an Asian-style glazing. Mix a Teriyaki bean sauce with equal parts barbecue sauce. This Asian-style barbecue is delicious and can be garnished with scallions and sesame seeds.
â&#x20AC;˘ Spread the mustard , diced onions and bacon on the slice of beef evenly, place the pickle spear in the middle. â&#x20AC;˘ Roll beef slice tightly and tie with toothpicks or kitchen string. â&#x20AC;˘ Dredge the beef roll in the flour. â&#x20AC;˘ Melt shortening in a pan and brown all sides of the beef roll. â&#x20AC;˘ Add water and cover the pan. Put in oven at 325 degrees for 1 hour or in a Dutch oven on top of the stove. â&#x20AC;˘ Thicken the gravy with flour and season with salt and pepper as needed.
OVEN PHASE â&#x20AC;˘ Place the wrapped ribs into an oven set to 275 degrees. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. â&#x20AC;˘ Reduce temperature to 225 degrees. Cook for another 2 to 3 hours for ribs that fall off the bone.
â&#x20AC;˘ Take each slice of beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper (curry powder optional)
