COMMUNITY JOURNAL: 3/2013 Wean Foundation awards over $100,000 in grants

he Raymond John Wean Foundation has awarded 30 grants totaling almost $110,000 under its Neighborhood SUCCESS and Leadership Program, a five-yearold effort that has been focused to cultivate leaders and engage residents of Warren and Youngstown in grass-roots projects. Examples of this year’s recipients and award amounts include the Hispanic Heritage Planning Committee, to promote Hispanic cultural awareness in Youngstown City Schools, $1,500; Central City Gardeners, for the Central City Unity Garden and bike racks in Warren, $4,529; and St. John’s Episcopal Church’s Red Door Pantry in Youngstown, to offset expenses and to encourage participants’ involvement in its leadership committee, $2,400. The original program, now designated the Neighborhood SUCCESS and Leadership Program, has two distinct, yet overlapping components: “Neighborhood SUCCESS 1.0: Engaging Residents” and “Neighborhood SUCCESS 2.0: Cultivating Leaders.” The components concentrate on Wean’s five issue priorities –early childhood, educational opportunity, economic opportunity, community revitalization and public and civic sector leadership – and on projects with an intentional focus on encouraging, cultivating and supporting resident engagement and leadership development. Under Neighborhood SUCCESS 1.0, a maximum of 30 grants between $500 and $5,000 will be made at the beginning of each year. A Resident Council, made up of residents from Warren and Youngstown, guides the Foundation’s funding of the projects. The program was designed to support grassroots groups in small community development projects that improve the quality of life in Warren and Youngstown. As a way to connect residents to each other and resources, grantees will participate in a yearlong series of convenings, check-ins and a shared learning event at the end of the year. “We found that folks thrived on the opportunity to come together, network and learn from one another,” said Jennifer E. Roller, program officer for urban affairs and neighborhoods. “We took what we learned worked best about the program and added a more hands-on approach.” Neighborhood SUCCESS 1.0 and 2.0 aim to include resident participation in decision-making that affects their neighborhoods and communities. Neighborhood SUCCESS 2.0 is designed to build fundamental leadership skills through focused learning, including workshops, technical assistance and convenings. “Both cities have a lot to offer, starting

with the residents and their knowledge of how to get things done,” said Roller. “Residents have shown through the projects we have funded that they know how to attract other resources, establish relationships and get really creative in instances where they have had to make do.” “They are also able to tap into public resources, such as obtaining services from the city councils and the parks departments,” said Roller.

Tornado App links phones to storm warning systems

n time for National Severe Weather Preparedness week (March 3-9), the American Red Cross has launched its official Tornado App, putting lifesaving information right in the hands of the residents of Northeast Ohio. This free app—available in English or Spanish—gives iPhone, iPad and Android smart phone and tablet users instant access to local and real-time information, so they know what to do before, during and after a tornado. The app includes a high-pitched siren and “tornado warning!” alert that signals people when a NOAA tornado warning has been issued in their area – even if the app is closed. An “all clear!” alert lets users know when a tornado warning has

expired or has been cancelled. Individuals can download the app from the Red Cross website at: http://www.redcross.org/mobile-apps/tornado-app. “Tornadoes often happen in the overnight hours when people are sleeping,” said Karen Conklin, executive director, American Red Cross of the Mahoning Valley. “The audible alerts in this app can save lives – even if users can’t monitor the weather because they are away from radio, TV or in places where weather band radios

may not work.” Other features of the app include: Location-based NOAA tornado, severe thunderstorm and flood watch and warning alerts; Enhanced weather maps; Onetouch “I’m safe” messaging that allows users to broadcast reassurance to family and friends that they are out of harm’s way; Simple steps and checklists people can use to create an emergency plan and share it with household members; Preloaded content that gives users instant access to criti-

cal action steps, even without mobile connectivity; Toolkit with flashlight, strobe light and audible alarm; Locations of open Red Cross shelters; and Badges users can earn through interactive quizzes and share on social networks. Launched during National Severe Weather Preparedness Week, the Tornado App is the latest in a series of mobile apps created by the Red Cross. The apps have been used to help save lives during hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires.

The farmers market at First Unitarian Church brings fresh produce to local residents during the growing season

30 Mile Meal announces plans for healthy local food

uring a meeting and press conference at the Raymond John Wean Foundation in late February, the 30 Mile Meal initiative announced plans for a new regional economic development campaign centered on local, healthy food production. The 30 Mile Meal is a local food branding and promotional campaign that aims to provide a shared identity for farmers, specialty and value-added food producers, retail markets, food events and independently-owned eateries and bars featuring locally sourced menus. The campaign seeks to enable these stakeholders to leverage the growth of dozens of local farm stands, farmers markets, farm-to-school programs and local food and urban farming initiatives to build a local food economy united under the 30 Mile Meal brand. At press time, Leslie Schaller of the Appalachian Center for Economic Networks and Natalie Woodroofe of the Real Food Real Local Institute was scheduled give a luncheon presentation

on how the 30 Mile Meal would benefit the region. In addition, group was scheduled to unveil the 30 Mile Meal website and plans for 2013 were to be discussed. “We are very excited to bring this campaign to our region,” said Christina Perry, 30 Mile Meal Brand coordinator. “We are reaching out to complementary community organizations, groups and businesses as well as government officials and economic development professionals from counties in Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania to join and build awareness of the campaign. We hope to get as many partners involved as possible and look forward to the positive impact the campaign will have on our economy. We had a soft launch at the beginning of February and have already attracted 20 partners.” The 30 Mile Meal seeks increase the awareness and availability of local food, strengthen the bottom line for area food businesses and create a network between local growers and buyers. The effort seeks to spur economic development and create tourist destinations based on local food by

positioning regional and ethnic flavors as a centerpiece of tourism. Taken together, these elements are seen as a strong step forward toward a comprehensive foodbased economic redevelopment strategy. The 30 Mile Meal is a project adopted from Athens, Ohio, where it has been extremely successful in strengthening the local food economy. “Reducing the average travel distance of the food on our plates from 1,500 miles to 30 or even 150 miles will create local jobs, improve the nutritional value of our diets, reduce CO2 emissions and preserve water by shifting more of our food production to rain-fed methods, reducing water demand for declining western aquifers, said Pat Rosenthal, executive director of Common Wealth. “It is truly a homerun, with the bases loaded, for the Lake-to-River region.” The Wean Foundation is located at 147 W. Market St. in downtown Warren. For more information, call Christina Perry at 330-718-8659.

tasting. Seghesio produces one of the nicest Zins that California has to offer, at a price that won’t break your budget. Bold spicy dark fruit flavors lead to a long creamy finish that paired very nicely with Vernon’s tender chef-carved beef. Toward the end of the evening, I went to the dessert table and chose a few samples from the extensive selection. With plate in hand, I headed to the table that was pouring the 2007

ebruary featured many New-Orleans-inspired wine tastings to celebrate Mardi Gras with delicious Cajun food pairings, and a number of fine shop tastings. Alberini’s Restaurant in Niles hosted their annual “Fat Friday” wine taste Feb. 8, with over 100 people in attendance. Chookie Alberini’s staff prepared a host of Cajun entrees to accompany over 40 wines offered by several distributors. I filled a plate with jumbo shrimp Romesco (tomato-red pepper sauce) and Cajun fritters and headed for the wine room, securing a glass of 2010 Jekel Gravelstone

Vineyard

Chardonnay

from Monterey County, Calif. Bright citrus fruit flavors and a crisp clean finish made this wine a near-perfect match for the delectable shrimp. Another wine that worked well with this dish was the Charles Smith Family’s 2011 Vino Pinot Grigio from the Columbia Valley in

Washington. Crisp lemon and honeysuckle flavors follow through to a finish marked with cut hay. I can recommend both these wines for upcoming summer enjoyment. If you’re looking for a unique Pinot Noir that won’t break your budget, give the 2011 Bandwagon a try. At under $15 a bottle, this tasty blend of 80 percent Oregon and 20 percent California Pinot Noir is simply delicious. Bright and spicy berry flavors lead to a lush yet clean finish that makes you think you are drinking a much more costly bottle of Pinot Noir. Alberini’s fine jambalaya was just the dish for the unique Bandwagon Pinot Noir. Another red wine that worked nicely with the jambalaya was the 2010 La Ferme de Gicon from France. Lush red fruit flavors make this cuvee (blend) of mostly Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault a great choice for spicy New Orleans-style food. At $9.99 a bottle, this red should be on your summer barbecue must-buy wine list. A tip of my hat to Chookie Alberini and his staff for an enjoyable evening of fine food and wine. February’s next major food and wine event was the Fat Tuesday celebration at Vernon’s Cafe. Tables of delicious hors d’oeuvres, Cajun-inspired seafood and chef-carved meats were paired to more than 40 wines for attendees to choose from. If you are a seafood lover, this is one of our Valley’s signature events. I loaded my plate with broiled salmon and jumbo shrimp, and was poured a glass of 2009 Murrieta’s Well’s “The Whip.” This trendy blend of mostly Semillon with Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Muscat Canelli, Gewurztraminer and

The

Wine Guy By John Webster Orange Muscat added was just the answer for the delicious salmon. The complex citrus and stone fruit flavors paired very nicely with a number of the dishes presented. The next wine I sampled was the 2011 Fess Parker Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County, Calif. This region produces some of California’s finest Chardonnays, and Fess Parker is a constant contender for top honors. Bright cool climate mineral-laden fruit flavors lead to a crisp yet round finish. My next white wine was one that I’ve never sampled before. The Millbrandt Vineyards’ 2011 Riesling from the Columbia Valley of Washington state is quite an eye-opener. Textbook Riesling fruit flavors and a taut stony finish complemented the sharp cheese that I had chosen. With German Rieslings inching up in price, this is an excellent choice for the cost-conscious wine buyer. My first red wine was an old favorite of mine – the 2011 Seghesio Zinfandel from Sonoma County was right at home at this

Rotta Zinfandel Port, from the heralded Giubbini Vineyards.

Rotta is located in Paso Robles, producing some of California’s finest dessert wines. This port exhibits lush creamy berry flavors leading to a long finish tinged with dark spices. It was outstanding with chocolate. I want to congratulate Vernon Cesta and sommelier Dennis Huston on a successful event and wonderful evening. As we move along to store tastings, I had the pleasure to attend a Vintage Estate Beer and Wine tasting that had a vineyard owner and winemaker on hand to explain his wines. Juan Palomar is the owner and winemaker of the Veleta brand from Bodega Dominio Buena Vista, located in the Sierra Nevada mountains near Granada, Spain. Palomar was patient and gracious while explaining his wines, demonstrating a deep passion for his product. He poured me a sample of his 2011 Veleta Vijiriega white wine ($9.99). The Vijiriega is an indigenous grape found only in the Sierra Nevada area immediately surrounding Palomar’s home. Deeply perfumed with the scent of wildflowers marked with citrus, this refreshing wine is a nice alternative to oaky Chardonnays. Lemon sole with spring greens would be a fine match for this tasty wine. I’m a big fan of rose wines in the sum-

February featured many NewOrleans-inspired wine tastings to celebrate Mardi Gras with delicious Cajun food pairings, and a number of fine shop tastings. mer, and Veleta had a Tempranillobased rose that was just outstanding. The 2011 Veleta Tempranillo Rose ($9.99) exhibits fresh berry flavors and a crisp finish tinged with crushed almonds. This wine will be the perfect escape from heavy reds when the temperatures rise this summer. If you’re looking for a Bordeaux-style red blend that won’t set your wallet on fire, give Veleta’s 2008 Nolados red blend a try ($15.99). This multi-layered blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (40 percent), Cabernet Franc (40 percent) and Tempranillo (20 percent) produces an elegant dark fruit and spice-tinged red wine that is just wonderful. Long-simmered roast beef would be a fine partner for this elegant red blend. Palomar has many more wines in his Veleta stable, and all are fine bargain for today’s priceconscious consumer. For a unusual Pinot Noir blend at a nice price, give the 2011 Three Girls Pinot ($15.99) a look-taste. A trendy blend of 84 percent Pinot Noir and 16 percent Zinfandel (very unusual), it features plum and red raspberry flavors and a clean-textured finish tinged with tobacco and spice. At $14.99 a bottle, the 2010 Moulin de Gassac Rouge from the Pays d’Herault region of southern France is a nice bargain. A tasty cuvee of mostly Syrah, Grenache, Carignane and Mourvedre, it produces round red fruit flavors that should go well with upcoming summer barbecues. Upcoming tastings include Saturday, April 27, a wine taste fundraiser hosted by the Beaver Creek Wildlife Education Center Volunteers Association. Email beavercreekw@aol.com, or the organization’s Facebook page (Beaver Creek Wildlife Education Center). Other regular tastings include Springfield Grille’s monthly wine dinner (call the restaurant for date); 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.

As typical funding sources seem to be shrinking, more and more organizations seek to diversify their funding by adding new sources of income. However, be warned, not all funding sources are created equal. When it comes to federal funding, do you really know what you are getting into? A common pitfall for an organization is to secure federal funding and then no longer be able to provide the intended services to its clientele because all the organization’s time is spent in simply keeping up with stringent reporting. The issue of federal funding is incredibly complex, from finding it and securing it; to spending it and maintaining it for the future – plus, there are the formidable challenges of dealing with the federal government, where the cliché of endless red tape is all too accurate.
