$20 million upgrade to Northside under way

H

V

alleyCare Health System of Ohio recently broke ground for a $20-million expansion and upograde of Northside Medical Center. It is the largest infrastructure investment made at the hospital in 15 years. ValleyCare will add a 30,000 square foot tower that will expand the emergency department and create a new main entrance, while modernizing more than 28,000 square feet of the existing hospital. This project is part of a five-year, $80 million capital expenditure made possible through ValleyCare’s affiliation with Community Health Systems in October 2010. “These improvements will enhance our number one priority – delivering quality care to our patients,” said ValleyCare Health System of Ohio CEO Kirk Ray. “These changes also will support our dedicated healthcare professionals by making hospital resources more accessible and efficient.” Nearly 70,000 patients sought care through ValleyCare emergency rooms in 2012, almost 30,000 at Northside alone. Updates to Northside’s ED, a designated Level III trauma center, will support prompt assessment, resuscitation and stabilization of injured patients. Noise will be reduced and patients will have more privacy through the creation of 21 private exam and trauma rooms. Improvements will continue Northside’s commitment to serve patients in 30 minutes or less and enhance the quality of care. “Northside has served the residents of the Mahoning Valley for more than a century,” said Northside Medical Center Board Chairman Sandy Kessler. “With these developments, it will be positioned to continue care for another 100 years.” In the three-story addition, the most visible component is a new main entrance that will serve as a central location from which patients and visitors access hospital resources. A new first floor lobby will include registration, preadmission testing, waiting rooms, a gift shop and an information center. The addition will also improve patient convenience by extending the hospital closer to the existing garage that offers covered parking. Surgical services will be combined in a single location by moving outpatient surgery to the second floor adjacent to existing surgery suites. The addition of 21 private patient holding rooms will streamline the surgical experience for patients and providers. On the third floor, endoscopy services will be enhanced with a new waiting area and the addition of two endoscopy suites and a bronchoscopy room. Since 2010, ValleyCare has invested approximately $50 million to improve hospital facilities such as the ongoing transition to private patient rooms, update technology, add new medical equipment and recruit physicians. Construction is expected to be complete in fourth quarter 2014. Northside is finalizing preparations to ensure continued patient comfort and access for all who come to campus throughout the process.

YSU expands online degree offerings

Y

oungstown State University is launching a renewed effort in distance education, introducing seven new online master’s and bachelor’s degrees that students can take from their own home or office starting this fall semester. “These outstanding programs are part of a new initiative in what we hope eventually will be dozens of online courses for students seeking alternatives to physically coming to campus,” YSU President Cynthia E.

Things to do and see beyond the classroom ...

4 campus construction projects total $8.6 million

W

ith summer came construction season, and it was a busy one for YSU. YSU saw four major campus projects totaling nearly $8.6 million, including construction of a new Veterans Resource Center and major renovations to Melnick, Cushwa and DeBartolo halls. An additional $2.9 million will be expended on a series of other projects ranging from elevator upgrades to roof renovations. In all, the projects total more than $10 million. They include: Veterans Resource Center: The $1 million center will be constructed on Wick Avenue between Pollock House and Melnick Hall (on the site of the former Peck House) and will house the YSU Office of Veterans Affairs. The center seeks to help military veterans and service members make the transition to university life. The project will be funded via bond proceeds; private gifts will be used to retire the debt from the bond proceeds. Construction should be finished spring 2014. Melnick Hall: While the Veterans Resource Center is new construction, the other projects getting under way this summer represent major renovations to existing buildings. Melnick Hall on Wick Avenue will undergo a $4.5 million overhaul to turn the building into a communication/media hub. WYSU-FM, Rookery Radio, The Jambar, the NewsOutlet, the Journalism program and some elements of the Telecommunications program will be relocated into the renovated building. The project, funded with a combination of state capital money and university bond proceeds, should be finished by spring 2014. Cushwa and DeBartolo halls: Interior renovations totaling nearly $3.5 million were slated for Cushwa and DeBartolo, including upgraded finishes in faculty and staff offices, corridors and public spaces and improved mechanical equipment and lighting. Both projects should be finished by the start of the fall semester. A second phase of improvements in DeBartolo will take place next summer. The improvements will be funded with a combination of state capital money and university bond proceeds. Other projects this summer included: • Campus roof renovations, including Kilcawley House, $2 million. • Repair/replace broken walkways, steps and driveways across campus, $360,000. • Repairs to sections of the utility tunnel under Kilcawley Center loading dock, $200,000. • Renovations to the 6th and 7th floors of Kilcawley House residence hall, $100,000. • In addition, the $4.3 million sports complex project on Fifth Avenue across from Stambaugh Stadium should be finished this summer. The final parts of the project include a restroom/concession building, softball dugouts and bleachers The project, funded through university bond proceeds and private dollars, includes a new soccer field, track and softball field.

YSU OK’s $177.2 million budget for 2014

T

he YSU Board of Trustees in June approved a $177.2 million operating budget for fiscal year 2014. The budget is $1.5 million or 1 percent less than the FY 2013 budget. Over the last two fiscal years, the budget has shrunk by $3.8 million or 2.1 percent. The budget sets tuition at $3,950 a semester

for full-time undergraduate students living in Ohio, or $7,900 a year. That’s an increase of $94 per semester or 2.4 percent. At the same time, scholarship funding from both the university and the YSU Foundation will increase by nearly $2 million in FY 2014, providing additional support for more than 3,000 students. Also included in the new tuition schedule is expansion of YSU’s Affordable Tuition Advantage program. Previously, the program provided substantially lower out-of-state surcharges for undergraduate students in eight counties in Western Pennsylvania. The program will expand to include eight additional counties in Western Pennsylvania, for a total of 16 counties, as well as four counties in West Virginia and Chautauqua County in New York State. Tuition for students in those counties will be $4,070 per semester, only $120 more than in-state tuition. Undergraduate tuition for students outside of Ohio and outside the counties included in the Affordable Tuition Advantage program will be $6,950 per semester. Graduate student tuition will increase as follows: $154 or 3 percent to $5,283 per semester for in-state students; and $169 or 3.2 percent to $5,403 per semester for students in the Affordable Tuition Advantage program. The budget projects that state allocations will be flat in FY 2014. That follows two consecutive years of significant decreases in state funding – down $1.1 million in FY 2013 and down $7 million in FY 2012. Ten years ago, state funding made up 50 percent of YSU’s general fund budget. Now, the state funds only 25 percent. The budget also projects a 1 percent decline in enrollment. For the past two years, enrollment has decreased by an average of 3.9 percent per year. The budget also includes a mandatory transportation fee of $115 per semester ($58 in the summer) for all students enrolled in six or more credit hours. The transportation fee replaces the optional parking permit fee, which is currently $120 per semester ($60 in the summer). The transportation fee will provide expanded shuttle services for students and will enable the university to significantly increase parking reserve funds in anticipation of the eventual replacement of the parking deck on Lincoln Avenue. On the expenditure side of the budget, personnel costs will decrease 1.5 percent, in part due to the fact that the positions of nearly 120 retirees have not been filled, resulting in $7.5 million in temporary vacancy savings. Nineteen positions have been permanently eliminated, saving $1.1 million. Also, in FY 2014, employees will pay increased contributions for health insurance. In addition, $3 million in reductions in operating expenses will continue.

Student offers advice for making most of campus residence hall life BY TALIA A. DIROCCO SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY

◆ Editor’s note: Talia A. Dirocco, a summer intern at the Metro Monthly, is an English major at Baldwin Wallace College. She wrote the following article based on her student experience, but the tips are helpful to any college student living away from home for the first time.

S

o you’re going away to college. A lot of what you’ll need to bring with you is common sense, but in the rush to get everything prepared it’s easy to forget the little things that can make your life away from home even better. Here’s a guide to some of the things that are essential for your what may be your first time away from home as an adult.

Dorm room necessities Power strip/extension cords. Check with your university to see what types they allow. Collapsible storage cubes/hollow ottomans for extra storage; storage containers

that fit under the bed. Desk lamp with a flexible neck. These are especially useful if you’ll be coming in or studying after your roommate goes to bed. Cushion for your desk chair or your own office chair. Egg-shell cushion for your mattress. Multiple sets of sheets. DVD player/gaming system/movies/ books. Dry-erase calendar. Utensils (disposable or otherwise). Dis-

posable utensils are handy for the times you run out of clean silverware or don’t feel like cleaning up afterward. Multiple dishes, bowls, and cups. Fan. Not all universities will allow you

to have an air conditioning unit without medical necessity, and not all dormitories have air conditioning in the building. Extra blankets for the bed. If the weather suddenly turns cold the heating system in the dorm may not turn on right away, and having extra blankets is better than sleeping in a hoodie. Body pillow and/or a pillow chair. Full length mirror. Command strips/sticky tack/etc. Most

universities won’t allow you to put holes in the walls to hang things and will fine you for damaging the walls with tape. Area rug.

Clothing and accessories Umbrella, rain boots, and/or a raincoat.

Multiple pairs of gloves, hats, and scarves – You will invariably lose these during the winter and it’s better to have a couple pairs handy than to be miserable on your walk to class. Hangers – Bring more than you need; you’ll collect more clothes over the course of the semester, so it’s good to be prepared. Shoe caddy.

◆ Only bring clothes you know you like and will wear. There’s no point bringing clothes that will only take up space, and you’ll end up buying more clothes during

STUDENT SURVIVAL GUIDE

the year anyway. ◆ Bring coats and hoodies before you need them. It’s better to have these with you in case it suddenly gets cold than to be without them and be miserable.

For your desk Three-hole punch. Scissors. Tape/glue. Note cards. High lighters. Post-it notes. More pens and pencils than you think you’ll need. You’ll be losing these con-

stantly. Notebooks/folders/binders. Color code or organize these in some way to help remember which ones you need for which class – it makes grabbing the right one easier early in the morning. Those big five-subject notebooks probably aren’t going to work for you anymore. Most classes are going to require a lot of note taking. Planner. Things get crazier the closer you get to the end of the semester and this will help you keep track of all the things you need to get done.

Health and hygiene Shower shoes. Even if the showers seem

clean, shower shoes are an absolute must. Either flip flops or some other type of slipon sandal would work. Extra shampoo and body wash. You will run out at the least convenient times and some people may “borrow” yours when they run out themselves. Shower caddy. Multiple towels. Bathrobe or a towel cover-up. Toothbrush cover. Hand sanitizer. Aspirin/Tylenol/over-the-counter cold and flu medication/cough drops/etc. Vacuum cleaner/broom. Lysol wipes. Detergent. Febreeze or other air freshener. Trash bags. Scented oils or flameless candles. Even

if you keep things perfectly clean in your own room, phantom smells from the hallway or other rooms around can sneak in. ◆ Unless you’ll be living in a suite-style dorm room, remember that the bathroom will be used by everyone on your floor – it is not your own personal bathroom, and you should not treat it as such. ◆ Find the campus health clinic and know their hours of operation, the services they offer, and when doctors are and are not available. Also find out where the nearest hospital or emergency clinic is – SEE LIVING ON CAMPUS, PAGE 11


you’ll actually be using them and if you’ll really need everything listed on your syllabus. Figure out the routes you’ll be taking to your classes and walk them before classes actually start. It will be helpful to know ex-

LIVING ON CAMPUS, FROM PAGE 10 you will always feel the worst at 5 a.m. â—† Maintain both your personal hygiene and the cleanliness of your room. No one wants to be friends with the person who smells like B.O. or old food.

Food and dining Refrigerator and microwave – Some dorms may have a communal microwave and/or refrigerator, but if yours doesn’t, having your own will be unbelievably helpful. Easily prepared microwavable foods

– Chef Boyardee, Easy Mac, ramen and other soups, etc. These foods will eventually make up a large part of your diet, especially around finals week. Foods that will keep for a long time if left unopened. Cereal, Pop-Tarts, other snack foods; individually wrapped is best. Travel mug for coffee. Refillable water bottle. Mini ice-cube tray. Water in bulk. Having water bottles in

your room that you can take with you will save you money at vending machines. Learn the locations of and hours for campus dining halls. The same goes

for restaurants around campus. Find out which restaurants will deliver to the dorms. Even though it will be tempting to live off pizza and other junk food, try to eat healthy and exercise at the campus gym. The Freshman 15 (unwanted weight gain) can happen to anyone.

Other tips and advice Locate the nearest convenience store/ pharmacy and know the hours. You’ll

spend more time there than you think. Find the local library. The campus library may end up failing you and it’s good to have a back-up. Find the nearest grocery store. Also locate the nearest mall/shopping center, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. When you run out of something or realize you’ve forgotten some necessity, it’s good to know where you can go to replace or find said object. Try to avoid buying books at the campus bookstore. They cost more there than

they would online. If you do buy from the bookstore, wait until you’ve been to your classes at least once and found out how much

actly how long it takes to get from place to place, and will help you plan what books you need to bring with you and when ◆ Keep a hoodie, sweater, or coat with you for class. The hotter it is outside, the colder the classrooms will generally be, and older buildings heating systems aren’t always the best. ◆ Book bags are usually better and more comfortable than single-shoulder totes or trying to carry them in your arms. ◆ Start paying attention in class now. Even though you’ll be able to bring your laptop to class and will have more opportunities to distract yourself during class, don’t. Classes are easy now, but they will get more difficult in a year or two, and you don’t want to fall into a bad habit early. ◆ Make time for yourself to relax and have fun. Stressing yourself out is only helpful to a point – if you push it too far you’ll end up having a break-down at the least convenient time. ◆ Don’t wear your lanyard around your neck. This will mark you as a freshman, and this isn’t always a good thing. Especially the first week or so on campus, when upper classmen are looking for “fresh meat.� Know what you are and are not allowed to have in your room – Candles,

hot plates, toasters, alcohol if you’re under 21, etc. are generally banned. ◆ Bikes are helpful to have, especially on larger campuses. ◆ Learn the schedule for the bus and/or campus shuttle. ◆ Be aware of what the campus is like at night. Is it safe and quiet or does it get rougher? Find out where safety lights and emergency phones are located around campus. ◆ Is there a campus service that will escort you to and from your car/dorm? ◆ If you want to and/or it would make you feel more comfortable, invest in some pepper spray, a safety key chain, etc. ◆ Check laws in the area as well as campus rules to see what is and isn’t allowed.

Meet people in your classes If it’s a class in your major, you’ll probably have something in common. This will also make forming study groups easier. If not, you can always bond over your dislike of the course or your total confusion. Class clowns are no longer appreciated, especially in classes with a majority of upperclassmen. ◆ Respect the professor and don’t take advantage of the more relaxed atmosphere. ◆ Don’t fall behind on studying. Allnighters are only fun the first time. ◆ At the beginning of every semester, without fail, your professors will promise that they aren’t going to go over the syllabus word-for-word and will then proceed to do exactly that. ◆ You are going to meet a lot of new people with a wide variety of personalities, interests, and lifestyles. You will not like all of these people. They will not all like you. Don’t be unpleasant or cause needless drama.

CAMPUS LIFE, FROM PAGE 9 for me.” Williams said he also is very excited about the new YSU Veterans Resource Center that will soon be under construction on Wick Avenue. “It will provide a one-stop resource center for veterans and current military members on campus,” he added. “It’s both my pleasure and honor to be part of the great things happening for our veteran community at YSU.” Born and raised in Lisbon, Ohio, Williams joined the Ohio Army National Guard in 1986 while a senior at Beaver Local High School in Lisbon and left for basic training seven days after graduation in 1987. He attended Officer Candidate School in Fort Benning, Ga., and was commissioned as an Army officer in 1990. He attended Kent State University on the Ohio Army National Guard Tuition Scholarship and graduated in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. He earned a Master of Business Administration degree from Kent State in 2010. Williams commanded the 324th Military Police Company in Middletown, Ohio, from 1996 to 1998. For the last 13 years, he has been an Active Guard/ Reserve with the Ohio Army National Guard. His assignments included recruiting officer for Eastern Ohio; personnel officer for the 737th Maintenance Battalion in Newark, Ohio; training and executive officer for the 112th Transportation Battalion in Canton, Ohio; executive officer for Kent State’s Golden Eagle ROTC Battalion; and then two years as ROTC recruiting officer and two years as ROTC officerin-charge, and chairman of the Department of Military Science, at YSU. He also previously worked for three years as an admissions coordinator in the YSU Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Williams retired from the military in June to take the position in the Office of Veterans Affairs at YSU.

YSU Foundation increases scholarship support

Y

SU’s fiscal year 2014 budget includes a significant bump in scholarships for students due to increased support from the YSU Foundation. The Foundation, under a new distribution plan approved earlier this year, will allocate $6.8 million to YSU for student scholarships next academic year, up from $5.1 million this current academic year. That’s a 33 percent boost in funding. The $1.7 million in increased support The Foundation, will go to nearly under a new 3,000 students. The funding will distribution plan help students attending graduate approved earlier school and also this year, will alwill target the locate $6.8 million more than 1,300 undergraduate to YSU for student students receivscholarships next ing merit-based Scholarships for academic year. Excellence from the university. For example, recipients of the university’s President’s Scholarships will receive $4,000 next academic year, an increase of $1,500 from this current year. That means that over the course of four years, recipients of the President’s Scholarships will get $6,000 more in funding. In addition, nearly 1,500 other Foundation-funded scholarships will be increased by 4 percent for next academic year. The increased funding is the result of a change in the way in which the Foundation distributes money to the university. In the past, only the income from the Foundation’s endowment holdings was distributed. The new plan allows for 4 percent of a three-year rolling average of the endowment’s market value to be distributed annually to the university. “This new distribution plan puts the YSU Foundation more in line with other university endowments nationwide and allows us to provide an even higher level of assistance to YSU students facing increasing educational costs,” said Thomas Fleming, chairman of the YSU Foundation Board of Trustees.

CULTURE & COMMUNITY

Museums, theaters, cafés, – even a planetarium – in the university district BY EMMALEE C. TORISK SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY

◆ Editor’s note: Emmalee C. Torisk wrote the following article last fall when she was an editorial intern at Metro Monthly. Updates to the text are by Mark C. Peyko, Metro Monthly Editor.

Y

oungstown was once known primarily for steel: for its robust industry and for its decimating decline. In recent decades, though, the city has forged a new identity, an identity based on a mixture of old and new, of business and culture. Through this process, specific areas of the city have emerged as cohesive centers, or districts, of artistic expression and culture: among these are downtown Youngstown, Mahoning Avenue (or the Mahoning Commons) and Wick Avenue. While some of these cultural districts are well-established, others are more recent and still finding their niche and audience. Join Metro Monthly as we explore these areas and see what they have to offer.

THE UNIVERSITY DISTRICT

Established institutions, new forms of expression

B

y the late 19th century, Wick Avenue could be described as Youngstown’s ”Millionaire’s Row.” Once the city began to stretch beyond its downtown, Youngstown’s most established families moved north of the business district and began building lavish mansions on Wick Avenue – named for one of the city’s most important early families – and adjacent streets. Over the years, other cultural structures sprung up along the street, including churches, museums and several YSU buildings. Today, Wick Avenue is a mix of old and new, of private and public institutions. Notable facilities include the following: ◆ Arms Family Museum of Local History, 648 Wick Ave.; 330-743-2589. www.mahoninghistory. org. Located in an Arts-and-Crafts style residence, the Arms Family Museum of Local History features a variety of local-interest exhibits, an archival and research library and the period-furnished rooms of Wilford P. and Olive A. Arms, the home’s original owners. The first floor explores the Arms’ passion for the natural environment, craftsmanship and medieval architecture, while the lower level and second floor include a hands-on history room and changing galleries focusing on the history of those who lived in the Mahoning Valley. The museum is open Tuesday-Sunday from 1-5 p.m. Admission for adults is $4, $3 for seniors (60+) and college students and $2 for visitors under 18. Visitors under 3 years of age and Mahoning Valley Historical Society members are admitted for free. ◆ Bliss Hall, YSU campus; 330-941-3625. web. ysu.edu/fpa.

THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT

New creative venues, a resurgent main street

H

istorically, the downtown area – with its blocks of banks, government buildings, theaters, stores, restaurants and hotels – functioned as the center of community and life in Youngstown. However, following the collapse of the steel industry, and in the decades afterward, only traces and remnants of the downtown’s former life remained. In recent years, though, downtown Youngstown has experienced signs of renewal, thanks to emerging entertainment venues and other businesses popping up and occupying once-vacant storefronts and structures. More established, time-honored destinations have also benefited from this new flood of traffic to downtown, which is located just south of the YSU campus. In addition, a number of restaurants and bars have opened in recent years after the adoption of an entertainment-district designation. ◆ Covelli Centre, 229 E. Front St.; 330-7465600. www.covellicentre.com.

Beat Coffeehouse, 215 Lincoln Ave., Youngstown, 330-743-4227. Located in a Victorian house across from Cushwa Hall, the Beat offers specialty coffees teas, baked goods, sandwiches and salads. Belleria Pizza, various locations. Belleria is one of Youngstown’s many family-owned pizzerias and dates from1953. Some locations offer delivery and carry-out. Austintown boasts a new gluten-free menu as well. Hours vary by location. Café Soliel, 131 Lincoln Ave., Youngstown; 330480-0722. The atmosphere is relaxed and geared toward a younger, college-age crowd, though others would not feel unwelcome. The cafe specializes in crepes, but also offers salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, and bakery items. Most of the items are available for less than $10. 8 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m.-3 p.m. on Friday. Casesse’s MVR Italian Restaurant, 410 N. Walnut St., Youngstown; 330-746-7067. The MVR offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that maintains the memory of an older Youngstown while still appealing to a wide variety of people. The food is well made and of good quality. Bocce courts are available. Charlie Staples Bar-B-Que, 372 W. Rayen Ave., Youngstown; 330 743-7427. Charlie Staples offers a New Orleans-style atmosphere with barbecue ribs, chicken and beef on the menu. 9 a.m.-9 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m.-10 p.m. on weekends. Coyoacan, 137 Lincoln Ave.,Youngstown; 330-7442444 Offers made-to-order Mexican in an assemblyline format. A number of burrito configurations are available, including vegetarian. Downtown Circle, 116 W. Federal St., Youngstown; 330-747-3088. Offers Middle Eastern foods in a made-to-order format. Items include gyros, falafel and shish kabob, plus sides and salads. The convenience store side offers American-style sandwiches, baked goods, sports drinks, and coffees. Dine in, carry out. Downtown Draught House, 219 W. Federal St., Youngstown; 330-746-9722. The Draught House really shines in its wide selections of beers and rotating selections of drafts. Patrons vary widely in age. Burgers, wings, fries, and beer are on the menu, and prices generally range between $5 and $10. Flaming Ice Cube, 1449 Boardman-Canfield Road, Youngstown; 330-726-4766. The Flaming Ice Cube is especially popular with vegans, vegetarians, the healthconscious, and others with alternative diets. However, several items – especially the veggie burgers – are quite popular with those who aren’t vegan or vegetarian. Prices are generally under $10. Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; closed Sundays. Inner Circle Pizza/YSU, 318 Elm St., Youngstown; 330-744-5448 and other area locations. Inner Circle is mainly known for its pizza and wings, but locations also offer popular daily specials. Alcohol is available, and the Boardman/Canfield location has a centrally located bar with televisions that display seasonal sports broadcasts. More family friendly during the day, it can get more boisterous during big games and later in the night. Prices are between $5 and $15. Jay’s Famous Hotdogs, 68 Boardman Canfield Road, Boardman; 330-726-1450. Jay’s has been an area favorite for years – the main location is in Boardman, but they have recently expanded to a second location in the North Lima area. The original building is older and extremely small, but the quality of the food makes up for its outward appearance. Besides their famous hotdogs, Jay’s is known for their gyros. Everything is less than $10. The eatery does not accept credit cards. Joe Maxx, 47 E. Federal St., Youngstown; 330-8176608. Joe Maxx offers a simple, relaxed atmosphere and a friendly staff. Customers feel welcome to stay as long as they like. Oldies music – think Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and the like - adds to the atmosphere. This café is relatively quiet, and would be a good place for studying or relaxing between classes. Coffees and pastries are similar to larger franchise coffee shops, though prices are generally lower. Bottled drinks, salads, and wraps/sandwiches are also available. Kravitz’s Delicatessen, 3135 Belmont Ave., Youngstown; 330-759-7889. Another family-owned

restaurant in the Youngstown area, Kravitz has been in business since 1939. The deli is known for its authentic Jewish food, and offers it in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

The Lemon Grove has the kind of bar atmosphere that is very popular with college students. This makes it one of the better places in the downtown area to get the feel of a larger college, “metropolitan” vibe. A café during the day, the Lemon Grove also hosts events, including art showcases and live music performances. The menu offers ribs, chicken, seafood, burgers and wraps, soups, salads, and wings. Full bar. Open daily from 11 a.m.-2:30 a.m. O’Donold’s Irish Pub, 122 W. Federal St.,Youngstown; 330-743-0007. O’Donold’s is a popular bar in the downtown area, with knowledgeable bartenders, a friendly atmosphere and an Irish theme. They have several craft beers on tap and a wide selection of mixed drinks.

Daily from 11 a.m.-2:30 a.m. One Hot Cookie, 112 W. Commerce St., Youngstown; 330-651-1406. Tucked in the back of the Erie Terminal, One Hot Cookie offers fresh-baked cookies and beverages.

Our Family Restaurant, 22 W.Wood St.,Youngstown; 330-746-8830. Our Family opened in 2010. The food is a mix of classic American and Puerto Rican specialties. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all available. Monday and Tuesday from 10:30 a.m.-7 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday from 10:30 a.m.-11:30 p.m., Friday from 10:30 a.m.-1 a.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m.-3 a.m.. Roberto’s Italian Ristorante, 103 W. Federal St., Youngstown; 330-743-3000. Roberto’s offers a slightly fancier atmosphere, making it ideal for date nights and other celebrations. Roberto’s also offers take out, and accepts reservations for larger parties or special occasions. Pastas and pizzas are a given as are soups and salads. Alcohol is available, and some nights there is live entertainment. Outdoor seating is an option throughout the summer months. Prices are generally between $10 and $30, though some items may be more or less expensive. Tuesday through Thursday from 11

a.m.-9 p.m., Friday from 11 a.m.-11 p.m., Saturday from 4 p.m.-11 p.m. Closed Sunday and Monday. Royal Oaks Bar & Grill, 924 Oak St., Youngstown; 330-744-5501. The Royal Oaks is a widely popular bar with the classic dive bar look and feel. Lately it has been adopted by the more artistic members of the community. Live musicians play some night. Basic bar food is available – wings, burgers and fries – but the Oaks also smokes its own chicken and ribs for its barbecue. Full bar with bar hours. Scarsella’s, 4151 Market St., Youngstown; 330-7880806. Scarsella’s is one of many family-owned Italian restaurants in the Youngstown area. The majority of the food is made fresh daily, so inquire about the availability of menu options before ordering. Still, the noodles are made by hand, and the sauce is an old family recipe. Pastas, pizzas, salads, and soups are all on the menu. Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m.-8 p.m.; closed Sundays. Tokyo House, 1907 South Ave., Youngstown; 330747-2231. Tokyo House is owned and operated by a husband and wife team. Can (pronounced Ken) serves as both cook and the evening entertainment; he enjoys telling off-color jokes and stories, often at the expense of patrons. This restaurant offers some of the best and most authentic Asian food in the area, prepared in the Japanese Teppanyaki style. Alcohols such as plum wine are also available. The secret sauce is a must to get the full effect of the meal and experience. While the restaurant doesn’t present the best appearance from the outside – the building used to be an old gas station – the experience is well worth it. Seating is very limited – six tables that each seat eight – so several different groups may be seated together. Lines begin forming about an hour before opening, and wait time for food can be up to two hours. Prices vary between $9-$25 and is cash only. Only open seasonally from fall to early spring; during this time, it is open weekdays between 4-7 p.m. V2 Wine Bar Trattoria, 100 W. Federal St.,Youngstown; 330-742-5595. V2 is an Italian eatery that offers the feel of a big-city bistro in the middle of downtown Youngstown. This relatively new addition to the Youngstown food scene offers pizza and pasta, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, soups, salads and a small selection of seafood. V2 offers take-out, delivery, and outdoor seating. Open Monday through Wednesday 11 a.m.-9 p.m., Thursday through Friday 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m., Saturday noon-2:30 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.-8 p.m.. Vintage Estate Wine and Beer, 7317 South Ave., Boardman; 330-629-8080. Vintage Estate – more simply known as VE – specializes in microbrews and imported beers and wines. Food is available but sales are mostly geared toward alcohol. A more relaxed, friendly atmosphere with a slightly older clientele – 21 and over, more toward the older side of the spectrum – makes this a place to enjoy a beer or two with friends rather than a place to go in search of a rowdy drinking atmosphere. Most of the space is taken up by the bar and the sales floor, so things can quickly become cramped. Open weekdays 11 a.m.-11 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-11 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.-9 p.m.

Next month: more off-campus and downtown, plus coffee.

Perry’s Gastropub Mid-summer presents unique foods, wines Jack to host ribbon cutting R J uly provided many change-of-pace opportunities to try new wines and food. Mid-month, I made a return visit to Vincent’s Vine Bar on Springfield Road in Poland. Making our visit even more enjoyable was local favorite Stan Miller, singer and saxophonist. Miller plays in many local restaurants and can be found at many wine-country establishments in Ashtabula County during the summer. We had a pesto and red pepper flatbread and grilled chicken panini, and manager Mitch Capps brought our selection of

upfront citrus and stone fruit flavors and a long crisp finish worked nicely for our light dinner. I talked with the restaurant wine buyer who said they are pleased with customer response to the Pine Ridge. I encourage you to give this great wine a try for summer gatherings. At a recent store taste at Vintage Estate Wine and Beer in Boardman, I tried the Bully Hill Non-Vintage (NV) Riesling from New York state.

2011 Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel.

Deep and rich dark fruit flavors led to a brambly spice-tinged finish that really complemented our entrees. Vincent’s extensive menu, live music on weekends without a cover charge, and great wine selections make this a great destination for local wine aficionados. My next wine adventure took me to Cleveland for the Tour de France Wine Taste hosted by Cutting Edge wine distributors, held at L’Albatros Brasserie and Bar on Bellflower Road. This unique tasting featured regional wines from around France, accompanied by a nice array of imported cheeses and hors d’oeuvres. I tried a glass of Domaine Des Valages 2001 Macon Prisse Chardonnay ($14.99). Bright citrus fruit flavors and a razor-edge finish was just the answer for the salmon roulettes. If you’re looking for an inexpensive summer-style Chardonnay for grilled chicken , this is a great choice. I also sampled the Rene Mure 2011 Signature Gewurztraminer. Classic offdry fruit basket aromas and flavors make this white a great choice for summertime fruit salads and cheese. If you’re looking for something different and are tired of “same-old” new world Chardonnays, give this Alsatian white a try. At the same station, I tried the 2012 Corbillieres Touraine Pinot Noir Rose from the Loire region of France. Light crisp berry fruit flavors led to a delectable spice-tinged finish that was delicious with the savory pork roulettes. Moving along to my first red, I was offered a glass of 2007 Morot Beaune Premier Cru Aigrots from Burgundy ($42.99). Classic Burgundian pinot noir fruit flavors and a long textured finish tinged with spice had me coming back for more. The cheese selection of triple crème delice d’Bourgogne was nearly perfect with this textbook Burgundy. If you’re looking for a full-bodied French red that won’t set your debit card on fire, give the Domaine Juliette Avril 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape a try ($29.99). Spicetinged dark fruit flavors and a finish that lasts forever make this a great choice for prime rib or hearty stews. I intend to put a few of these bottles aside for the future. It wouldn’t be a French wine tasting if

Authentic stony Riesling fruit flavors and a crisp clean finish make this a good pick for grilled fish or chicken. If you’re looking for a lighter-style red, pick up a bottle of 2011 Tortoise Creek Oliver’s Pinot Noir from France’s P’Doc

region. Pleasantly priced at $11 a bottle, it delivers clean berry and red fruit flavors that should go well with barbecue hot off the grill. ELECTRONIC IMAGE BY JOHN WEBSTER.

The

Wine Guy By John Webster we didn’t review a great bubbly, so I visited the table pouring champagne from the Duval Leroy house. The 2006 Duval Leroy Paris ($49.99) is one of the nicest vintage dated champagnes I’ve tried. Crisp exotic fruit flavors and a long finish tinged with bread dough went hand in hand with the poached shrimp salad. With so many fine French wines at this tasting, I plan to recommend several more to you in future issues. I want to thank Cutting Edge for inviting me to this wonderful event, and I’m looking forward to returning to L’Albatros and sampling more from their extensive French menu. On a recent trip to Michigan, I stopped at Compari’s Restaurant on the Park in Plymouth. We ordered salads and a woodfired pizza with fresh vegetables, and I scanned the wine menu to see the local selections. To my surprise, I found that they were offering Pine Ridge Winery’s 2012 Chenin Blanc-Viognier blend. I’ve reviewed this delicious white previously, and was eager to try it in a restaurant setting. We were pleasantly surprised at how well it went with our salad and pizza. Bright

I found to be unique and very affordable. The Sonoma Coast of California produces some of California’s finest Pinot Noir, and you can expect to pay $25 and up for the privilege of drinking them. Cline’s 2011 Cool-Climate Pinot Noir is a tremendous bargain at $14.99. With its bright red fruit flavors and a finish that’s redolent of strawberrytinged vanilla, it’s a wine that you’ll want to stock up on. This is great Sonoma Coast Pinot at an unbelievable price. My next pick was the Cline 2012 Ancient Vines Zinfandel from the central coast of California. Ripe fruit flavors tinged with coffee lead to a lush, clean finish. It’s currently marked down from $19.99 to $14.99, so pick up a bottle and try it with pasta or burgers hot off the grill. Upcoming events include Sunday, Aug. 4, Vintage Estate Wine and Beer high-end tasting (see store for details); Friday, Aug. 23, Springfield Grille’s monthly wine dinner; Saturday, Aug. 24, Michael Charles Premier Wines

epresentatives from the Regional Chamber were set to host a ceremonial-ribbon cutting on Aug. 1 for Jack Perry’s Gastropub, located at 5529 Mahoning Ave. in Austintown. The business, located in the former location of Jeremiah Bullfrog’s, was completely renovated and is co-owned by Dan Perry and Randy Spencer. Jack Perry’s serves comfort foods and a number of craft beers. When Perry and Spencer took over Jeremiah Bullfrog’s, they thought of keeping the name, but decided to change the name and the look of the restaurant. It was Spencer’s idea to pay tribute to Dan’s father, Jack, and Jack Perry’s Gastropub was born. Aside from 20 craft beers, Jack Perry’s offers salads, burgers, hand-cut fries, ribs, chicken, steak and tuna. The restaurant/bar is open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m, Sunday through Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
