CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Christopher Barzak, a native of Kinsman, subscribes to the idea of writing what you know, having taken experiences from his youth in order to shape the spirit of his first work. “One for Sorrow” started as a short story, but grew from his desire to reflect on his hometown. Barzak’s award-winning 2007 novel is what ultimately put him on the map, a work that made the transition from the pages of a book to the big screen when writer-director Carter Smith (“The Ruins”) came calling in 2008 with the idea of turning “One for Sorrow” into a film.

HEAP continues utility crisis aid at MYCAP

s the outside temperatures continue to drop, the Mahoning Youngstown Community Action Partnership (MYCAP) and the Ohio Development Services Agency (ODSA) remind Mahoning County residents that heating assistance is available to eligible households through the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). Through March 31, 2014 HEAP’s Winter Crisis Program provides assistance to eligible households that are threatened with disconnection, are already disconnected, or have less than a 10-day supply of bulk fuel. “Ohio winters can be extremely cold. Along with MYCAP, we are working to ensure that Ohioans can heat their homes and stay warm this winter,” said David Goodman, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency. “Fortunately, this program is in place for local individuals and families throughout Mahoning County who genuinely need heating assistance during the bitter cold months,” said Al Stabilito, director of Outreach & Communications of MYCAP. “Obviously, these people would suffer terribly if the program was not available.” Statewide, more than 148,000 Ohioans were helped by the program last year. Qualifying for the Winter Crisis Program is dependent upon the size of the household and the total gross household income for either the past three or 12 months. The gross income of eligible households must be at or below 175 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. For example, a single person may have an income at or below $20,108 annually. A family of four may have an annual income at or below $41,213. For households with more than eight people, add $7,035 per person for 12 months, or $1,759 per person for three months. Individuals interested in receiving Winter Crisis Program assistance must have a face-to-face interview at the MYCAP office in Youngstown or Sebring. Residents must call and make an appointment at the MYCAP Youngstown office by calling the toll free Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Telephone System at 1-866-223-1125 Residents in Western Mahoning County may call the MYCAP Western Mahoning County office at 330-938-6166. Required documentation for the face-to-face appointment includes: ◆ Applicants must report the total gross household income for the past three or 12

Public Library unveils plans for Canfield branch

he Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County unveiled the design and floor plan for the new Canfield Library to the public on Thursday, Jan. 23, in the auditorium of the

6 METRO MONTHLY.NET | FEBRUARY 2014

Ursuline Center, 4280 Shields Road. Library Executive Director Heidi M. Daniel and architect Ronald Cornell Faniro, of Faniro Architects Inc., of Youngstown, presented the plans to those in attendance. Plans have been in the works for several years for the new library branch, which will be located on the same site as the current Canfield Library. The new library branch will be constructed at the current site, 43 W. Main St., and the current library building will be demolished. The new Canfield Library will be 18,135 square feet. The current branch, built in 1969, is 5,104 square feet. Cost of the building project, including construction, furnishings, landscaping, site work, and more, is estimated at $4.9 million. If all goes according to schedule, the Library expects to break ground on this project in late summer or early fall this year. Daniel pointed out that the Canfield Library project has been in the works for over a decade and the Library Board of Trustees has been saving money for this project. The Library operates debt-free and pays for projects without bond issues or loans, which are costly. “We are very excited about this design and feel it will blend in well with the community

and the library’s surroundings. We asked for the community’s thoughts in many community conversations which have taken place over the past several years and are pleased that we were able to say ‘yes’ to much of the input we received. We wanted to capture what was most important to the community and I believe this design does just that,” Daniel said. “The community was interested in having a place to gather and in the library branch being connected to the community. To that end, this new design includes a multi-purpose meeting room, a community living room area, and an adult area small meeting room,” she noted, “as well as a site plan that should assist with supporting activities and businesses near the community green.” “I drove around neighborhoods to acquaint myself with the community and made observations to inspire the design,” said Faniro. “We went to great lengths to present a face on Main Street that would blend in with the current scale of the existing streetscape, and to create a building with character and with spaces that could be used in different ways for both the Library and the community-at-large.” “Additionally, we became aware that the community’s expectations were rooted in a building that reflected the modern reality of library use. Libraries today are much more than warehouses for books and reading materials. They are community gathering spaces and are important to a community’s civic pride, which we have reflected in the design,” Faniro said. “We took a broader look at what the new Canfield Library’s role would be in the community and developed ways to energize the site and to connect it with the Canfield Green. We suspect that establishing the Library as an extension to the center of Canfield and its public green will both increase usage of the Library and enhance the many things offered on and around the green. I think this energizes the Library site and will enhance the desirability of having a business located fronting the green.” The Library will also have a capital campaign in conjunction with this project. The goal is $500,000.

UPDATE DIGEST

Agency OK’s incentives for job creation project

he Ohio Job Creation Tax Credit Authority in mid-December approved tax credits for a potential economic development project in downtown Youngstown that would create 300 jobs and an investment of nearly $7 million. The tax credit authority, meeting in Columbus, OK’d a 60-per-cent, eight-year credit with a total value of $947,000 for Network Solutions Provider, a technology company. NSP would also receive assistance from the Mahoning County One Stop for workforce services and job training, said Sarah Boyarko, the Regional Chamber’s vice president for Economic Development, North America. NSP, which provides tier 1 technical support for cloud and business mobility and tier 3 and 4 B-B technical engineering support, is considering locating a new operation in downtown Youngstown, which would create 300 jobs and with an investment of $6.8 million. Annual payroll would be about $12 million.

Christopher Cicero is appointed to his first pastorate at St. Jude Parish in Columbiana and Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in East Palestine. Both appointments are effective Feb. 1.

The opening date is still to be determined, but it is anticipated at the beginning of February. One Hot Cookie features traditional and specialty cookies. The bakery also sells customdesigned cookies and cookie cakes. “We’re very excited to partner with One Hot Cookie, a specialty bakery which is sure to be a draw to Library customers, current and new,” said Heidi Daniel, Library executive director. “When the cafe space was built in the Austintown Library, it was intended to be a café and it hasn’t had a vendor in it for several years. We are happy to be able to again use the space as it was intended.” “The partnership with the Library is very exciting and looks to be a great fit with the Austintown market,” said Bergen Giordani, owner. Giordani lives in Canfield with her daughter, Morgen.

MAHONING VALLEY

BY TY LANDIS METRO MONTHLY STAFF WRITER

Editor’s note: This article was written prior to the Sundance Film Festival in January.

THE WINE GUY

n just a few weeks, the annual Sundance Film Festival will be kicking off in Park City, Utah. Large crowds of people, snow, celebrities, and the swirling aroma of films and culture will be the norm amongst the thousands attending the festival. Local author and YSU professor Christopher Barzak will also be making the trip to Utah, equipped with an incentive and sense of accomplishment that most of us wouldn’t dare dream up. The homegrown and accomplished Barzak has been at it for a while. Having started his writing career with short stories, Barzak has since gone on to pen two novels, with a third on the way in 2015 titled “Wonders of the Invisible World.” Now, the hardest challenge for Barzak comes in the form of viewing his own work in the hands of someone else, and in another form entirely. Barzak’s award-winning 2007 novel “One for Sorrow” is what ultimately put him on the map, a work that made the transition from the pages of a book to the big screen when writerdirector Carter Smith (“The Ruins”) came calling in 2008 with the idea of turning “One for Sorrow” into a film. After a long process of renewing the novel’s option, pulling together human and capital resources, and working through script revisions, Barzak’s creation receives new life. Now titled “Jamie Marks Is Dead,” Smith’s adaptation of Barzak’s novel will premiere at Sundance on Jan. 19. The film stars Liv Tyler, Judy Greer, Cameron Monaghan, Noah Silver, and Morgan Saylor. Barzak, a native of Kinsman, subscribes to the idea of writing what you know, having taken experiences from his youth in order to shape the spirit of his first work. “One for Sorrow” started as a short story, but grew from Barzak’s desire to reflect on his hometown. The book can be best described as a coming-of-age story that traces the supernatural bond between two lonely teenage boys amidst a potent rural decay that echoes that of Youngstown’s. “I wanted to write about book set in my hometown that dealt with different things I was afraid of as a teenager, stuff like death,” Barzak said. Most of what informs the novel’s sense of loss was the death of 12-year-old Raymond Fife, a boy who was found brutally murdered in Warren in 1985.

Christopher Barzak’s award-winning 2007 novel ‘One for Sorrow’ is what ultimately put him on the map, a work that made the transition to the big screen when writer-director Carter Smith (‘The Ruins’) came calling in 2008 with the idea of turning it into a film.

“I think it was the first time I realized there were people who would kill small children for no particular reason,” Barzak said. The author’s novels interact with one another in such a way that has the same themes bouncing off one another: ghost stories, fantasy, the supernatural; the strange fantastical that happens in everyday life. It may not be strange, but the fantastical has definitely set in for Barzak, whose transition from short stories to novels has thrust him into unexpected notoriety. “Initially, I was trying to figure out how to let myself be more expansive and digressive because a novel has room for that. Once I got the hang of it, it went rather well actually. Each book will teach me

something different. I get bored, I don’t want to do the same thing over and over again,” Barzak said. Now, the writer has afforded himself some time to soak up the journey he’s about to embark on, however different and awkward it may be. While “Jamie Marks Is Dead” won’t veer too far away from Barzak’s novel, the writer finds comfort in the fact that each will stand as their own separate works. Director Carter Smith did consult some with Barzak on the screenplay, but it was mostly Smith wanting Barzak to be happy with any changes he might make from things featured in the book. “The more we interacted, the more comfortable I became. It’s odd, a friend of mine recently said it’s

Chris Barzak, a native of Kinsman, subscribes to the idea of writing what you know, having taken experiences from his youth in order to shape the spirit of his first work. like having a baby and giving it to someone else to raise,” Barzak said. And while the changes from novel to screenplay are minimal, Barzak finds solace in Smith’s own organic additions to the story, mostly coming in the form of a character Smith brings back in the film whose arc ended earlier in the novel. Although YSU’s spring semester coincides with Sundance, Barzak doesn’t anticipate being too absent from work. The festival kicks off on Jan. 16, with Barzak arriving on the seventeenth and leaving on the twentieth. The trip will mostly be one of pleasure for the writer, who says if anything businesslike pops up it’ll mostly be offhand and unexpected. “Certain people have asked to meet with me. My agent is going too, I think he’s planned dinner, and we’re going to see if we can get tickets to other films as well,” Barzak said. Having already lived in Southern California, Michigan, and the suburbs of Tokyo, Barzak seems content residing in Ohio, and why not? The reaction from his students and family has been overtly positive. “My students are probably just as excited as I am. Sometimes when I walk into the department, they’re more fervent and freaking out than I am. My family is also super excited; my mom is worried that I’ll become uber-famous and want to leave,” Barzak said. After the buzz of Sundance dies down, there won’t be much down time for Barzak, who is already working on a follow-up work to his next novel, as well as a collection of short stories that are retellings of famous genre literature. Now that one of his novels has been morphed into a screenplay, Barzak thinks it could be fun to write a script. “I’m more interested in it now that I’ve ever been. I would probably want to start from scratch rather than adapting something I’ve written,” Barzak said. As for when people can see “ ‘Jamie Marks Is Dead,’ ” it really depends on its success at Sundance. Barzak is confident that it will have a wide release next fall, and is something that can hopefully play close to Youngstown in the coming months.

Holidays prove to be busy time for area wine tastings T he holidays were a busy time, with numerous store tastings and holiday house parties peppering in the calendar. I was fortunate to attend the Elm Road Michael Charles Premier Wines holiday wine event at the Youngstown Country Club Dec. 6. Owners Nick and Loretta Uroseva chose 20 delicious and affordable wines to sample with the club’s scrumptious assortment of appetizers. The Music by Just Us II Wine were also on hand Guy to provide a perfect John Webster backdrop for the evening’s festivities. My first wine was a glass of 2012 Elizabeth Spencer Pinot Blanc ($19.99) from

Mendocino County, Calif. Only 40 barrels of this unique white wine were bottled for sale. Greenish-yellow in color with complex citrus and green apple flavors, it finishes crisp and clean with a floral note. It was perfect with the cucumber canapes. My next wine was the sparkling nonvintage Le Grand Courtage Blanc de Blanc Brut ($19.99) from France. Crisp Meyer lemon and apple flavors give way to a wonderfully crisp finish that is surprising for this price point. Another fine bubbly being poured was the non-vintage Graham Beck Brut ($19.99) from South Africa. Classically blended from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, it exudes yeasty fresh fruit aromas that keep you coming back for more. Both of these sparklers were great with the chicken skewers. My next stop was the table pouring samples of Il Conte Stella Rosso ($14.99) from the Piedmont region of Italy. Made from the indigenous Brachetto grape, it produces an off-dry red that is not cloyingly sweet or heavy. It was outstanding with the fresh fruit and sharp cheeses. I am a big fan of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, so I headed toward the table pouring the 2012 Drylands Sauvignon Blanc ($16.99) from Marlborough. Pale straw in color with upfront flavors of citrus and passion fruit, it finishes ex-

tremely clean and crisp. Light seafood or chicken would be a great partner for this Kiwi tangy white. For the Chardonnay fans out there, they were pouring samples of the outstanding

2012 Rutherford Ranch Napa Chardonnay ($14.99 discounted from $18.99).

This creamy fine-textured white exudes ripe pear and peach flavors, giving the impression that you’re drinking a much more expensive Chardonnay. Moving along to the reds, I found two outstanding and affordable Pinot Noirs. The Sonoma Coast of California is home of the 2011 Robin K Pinot Noir ($19.99). Very Burgundian in style with opulent black cherry flavors, it finishes with a spicy floral note. Roast lamb would be a great partner for this Pinot. Freedom Hill Vineyard in the Willamette Valley of Oregon is the source of the 2009 JZ Lot No. 1 Pinot Noir ($19.99). This is Oregon Pinot at its best, with lush cherry and raspberry flavors. Roast salmon filets drizzled in a cream or butter sauce would be a fine match for this supple red. I also found a couple of great red blends at this tasting that you might want to try. The first is the 2012 F-Bomb ($17.99) red blend from Lodi, Calif. This freshtasting blend of Grenache (90 percent) and Mourvedre (10 percent) delivers ripe strawberry and dark fruit flavors that would be delicious with roast chicken. The 2009 SHFT House Red ($24.99) is a bold Rhone-style blend from California’s Paso Robles region. A cuvee (blend) of Mourvedre, Grenache and Syrah, it delivers zesty plum and cherry flavors that give way to a spicy finish of cloves and vanilla. A bold beef stew would work nicely with this rich red wine. If you’re looking for a fine Spanish Rioja with a little bottle age on it, give the 2005 Bodegas Covila Reserva ($22.99) a try. Classic Temperanillo fruit flavors follow through to a textured finish tinged with tobacco, vanilla and crushed nuts. Grilled sirloin or roast chicken would work nicely with this classic Rioja. My last pick from this tasting was the 2010 Four Vines Petite Sirah ($14.99) from Lodi, Calif. If you like big, bold California reds, this should be on your to-buy list. Deep red in color with peppery dark fruit flavors, this red is a shoo-in for pizza,

grilled burgers, or steak hot off the grill. Special thanks to Nick and Loretta Uroseva for a great time at the Michael Charles holiday bash. At our local store tastings, I found a wonderful sparkling wine from Germany. The Loosen Brothers Dr. L Riesling Sekt

($14.00) offers dry but full Riesling fruit flavors that should be just the answer for upcoming playoff and Super Bowl Sunday get-togethers (not too early for Valentine’s Day, either). My next pick hails from the Randle Hill Vineyard in Mendocino County, Calif. The Yorkville Cellars Organic 2012 Sauvignon Blanc ($14.99) offers bright citrus flavors and a long textured finish tinged with oak. If you’re looking for an impressive organic white, the Yorkville is a sure bet. For those wanting something different, try the award-winning Old Vines Naia Verdejo from the Rueda region of Spain. The 2012 Naia is made from 100 percent Verdejo grapes from 70-year-old vines. Partially fermented in French oak, it exhibits crisp herb-scented lime and kiwi fruit flavors. At $14.99, it is a fantastic deal. While in Spain, let’s travel to the Toro region and give the 2009 Monte Hinista Tinto de Toro ($14.99) a try. The Tinto de Toro is a clone of the Temperanillo grape, exhibiting darker more brooding flavors

than its Temperanillo cousin. Dark red fruit flavors and a finish tinged with spicy tobacco make this wine a nice match for roast beef or hearty stews. Another bold red I sampled was the 2011 Artezin Zinfandel ($16.99) from Mendocino County, Calif. This is textbook cool-climate Zinfandel at its best. Layers of red fruit flavors and a textured supple finish marked with pepper make this a great companion for roast lamb or burgers hot off the grill. Following a fine meal on a cold winter night, there is nothing tastier or more warming than a glass of Tawny Port with after-dinner coffee. The Noval Tawny Port ($18.99) is just outstanding for such occasions. Being wood-matured, it offers silky red fruit and caramel flavors leading to a lush, vibrant finish that lasts forever. Vanilla cookies and dark chocolates work nicely with this fine Portuguese dessert wine. It was a pleasure to visit Mitch Lynch and Patricia Tinkler at Friends Specialty, which recently opened shop in downtown Youngstown at Federal and Phelps (in addition to their Friends Roastery in Salem). With an array of freshly roasted coffees as well as specialty teas, chocolate, and baked goods, they’re a welcome addition to the downtown. People familiar with Youngstown’s rich industrial past are likely to find the shop’s décor both welcoming and nostalgic, honoring our common roots. So if you’ve stayed out late at one of the many downtown night spots, stop by Friends Specialty the next morning for a wake-up call. Two super tastings coming up in February and March will both be held at Vernon’s Restaurant. The Elm Road Michael Charles dinner taste Friday, Feb. 21 featuring wines of the Pacific Northwest; and Vernon’s spectacular annual Fat Tuesday wine taste on March 4. Please contact the store or restaurant for more details. Other upcoming wine events include the monthly dinner taste at the Springfield Grille (call restaurant for details); the Upstairs Restaurant’s Wine Down, third Thursday tasting; 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 (Elm Road), second Saturday tasting. If your restaurant, shop or charity event is having an upcoming wine tasting, please email me a month in advance at jmwineguy@gmail.com.

.PEFSO %BZ 4MBWFSZ JO )VNBO 5SBGÂšDLJOH by Dr. Denise Narcisse, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology & Sociology, YSU. The problem of human trafficking represents one of the worst forms of human exploitation and dehumanization. The illegal trade of human beings for sexual exploitation and forced labor amounts to modern day slavery, an abuse of the fundamental rights of children and women throughout the world. No society or nation is immune from this scourge. In Ohio an estimated 1,078 children are victims of human trafficking, and 3,016 more are at risk. Governor John Kasichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Executive Order forming the Ohio Trafficking Task Force was designed to deal with this problem by marshalling the necessary state resources and building public awareness about this problem. Dr. Narcisse has done extensive research on human trafficking and its impact on victims and the community. Her lecture will shed light on a clandestine phenomenon that is secretive and deadly to innocent victims.

Saturday, February 22

Panel Discussion on The Nelson Mandela Legacy

7:00 p.m. The Chestnut Room, Kilcawley Center When Nelson Mandela died in December at the age of 95, he moved the entire world to mourn for him. He left his legacy as an outstanding and incomparable freedom fighter, a statesman and an exemplary leader of great renown, not only in his home country of South Africa, but also in the world at large. After enduring 27 years of dehumanizing torture and hard labor on Robben Island, Mr. Mandela emerged from prison to embrace his torturers and became the first democratically elected president of South Africa. His life and example have left numerous lessons for posterity to digest and exemplify. Our panelists will help us understand and appreciate the lasting importance of this historic figure. Panelists: Dr. Daniel Ayana, History Department; Dr. Dolores Sisco, English Department; Dr. Frank Ackpadock, Senior Researcher, Regional Center for Urban Studies; Dr. David Porter, Political Science Department; Dr. Samuel Adu-Poku, Department of Art Education; and Dr. Christian Onwudiwe, Department of Criminal Justice.

Poetry Reading

Wednesday, February 26 Jones Room, Kilcawley Center Poetry Competition on subject matter related to African or the African American experience, or expressions inspired by famous or not so well-known historical figures. A maximum of two submissions per individual should be forwarded to the Africana Studies Program by February 21. A panel of judges will select the best three poems to receive prizes.

YSU Jazz Ensemble I: The Music of Tadd Dameron for Harlan Leonard and His Rockets. The Hub, Kilcawley Center, YSU; more information is available by calling the Dana School of Music at 330-941-3636. Tonight’s concert features YSU’s Jazz Ensemble 1, directed by Kent Engelhardt, in Kilcawley Center’s Hub. The evening will feature “The Music of Tadd Dameron for Harlan Leonard and His Rockets,” a project made possible during Engelhardt’s Professional Development and Scholarship re-assigned time from the College of Creative Arts and Communication. Patrons may listen, dance, and purchase food and beverages from vendors in the Hub. Dameron (1917–1965) was an African-American jazz composer/ pianist from Cleveland, who is well known for his music written for Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughn, and his own groups. His music for Harlan Leonard provided the first opportunity for Dameron to have his music recorded and performed on a national stage. The music combines the riff and swing elements of Kansas City Jazz with Dameron’s keen harmonic sense and foreshadows the harmonic and melodic advances in ensemble writing in the Bebop Era and beyond.
