MAHONING VALLEY/UPDATE

Chamber: Index says area among most affordable

he Youngstown-Warren Metro Area is one of the least expensive urban areas in the U.S., according to the 2013 Cost of Living Index released by The Council for Community and Economic Research, Arlington, Va. The metro area, which includes Mahoning and Trumbull counties in Ohio and Mercer County in Pennsylvania, ranked the ninth lowest out of 308 urban areas by the council with a Cost of Living Index of 86.5. The national average was 100 with Harlingen, Texas the least expensive area with a COL Index of 81.6. New YorkManhattan topped the most expensive list in the U.S. with a COL Index of 220.4. “These types of results are supportive to our economic development efforts in attracting new investment to our community. The Mahoning Valley is an affordable place to do business and live,” said Sarah Boyarko, the Regional Chamber’s vice president for Economic Development, North America. The Cost of Living Index measures regional differences in the cost of consumer goods and services excluding taxes and non-consumer expenditures for professional and managerial households in the top income quintile. It is based on more than 50,000 prices covering almost 60 different items. Prices are collected three times a year by chambers of commerce, economic development organizations or university applied economic centers. The Regional Chamber obtained the price data for the Youngstown-Warren-Mercer area. The composite index is based on six components – housing, utilities, grocery items, transportation, health care and miscellaneous goods and services. Youngstown-Warren ranked below the national average in all six components. In addition, Youngstown-Warren was the least expensive urban area in Ohio among the 10 areas surveyed. Cleveland-Elyria was the most expensive. Among the six components, Youngstown-Warren was the most affordable in Ohio in grocery items, transportation and health care, was ranked the second least expensive in miscellaneous goods and services and was fourth lowest in utilities. Information on the COL index can be found on the Regional Chamber’s website, www.regionalchamber.com in the

Food for Thought Local authors dig into Youngstown’s rich and varied restaurant history

ocal authors Thomas Welsh and Gordon F. Morgan have announced that their new book, “Classic Restaurants of Youngstown,” will be released by the Charleston, S.C.based History Press on April 15, 2014. The 224-page book, available for preorders on March 7, lists for $21.99. With a number of illustrations, “Classic Restaurants” provides an historical overview of the city’s restaurant industry, moving from 1945 to the present. “Classic Restaurants of Youngstown” opens with a description of downtown Youngstown after World War II, when the district was studded with dozens of restaurants, including the Mural Room, Raver’s, the Italian Restaurant, and Jay’s Lunch. As the community’s center of gravity shifted, however, many of the city’s popular restaurants – including the Colonial House, the Mansion, and Cicero’s – operated in newly developed commercial hubs like the Uptown District. While the book describes the manner in which trends like suburbanization and deindustrialization contributed to the decline of the city’s restaurant industry, it also calls attention to establishments that have served as symbols of continuity in

changing neighborhoods, including the MVR, the Golden Dawn, and the Boulevard. Meanwhile, the narrative describes how Youngstown’s ethnic and racial diversity shaped the development of a unique local cuisine that remains one of the community’s greatest assets. “Classic Restaurants of Youngstown” ends on a hopeful note, concluding with a description of Youngstown’s revitalized downtown, which currently hosts an impressive range of restaurants, eateries, nightclubs and coffee shops. The 224-page book was produced in partnership with the Mahoning Valley Historical Society, which provided historical images as well as access to menus, advertisements, and other materials related to the local restaurant industry. Welsh previously co-authored “Strouss’: Youngstown’s Dependable Store,” a historical overview of Youngstown’s iconic Strouss’ Department Store, which was established in 1875 and operated until

Groundbreaking held for new aviation museum

round was broken in late February at the future site of the Ernie Hall Aviation Museum, which will honor local aviators’ contributions to advancing the field. Activities took place at the site of the new museum, SLOAS Airfield, 4059 North River Road in Warren (across from Shepherd of the Valley). When complete, the facility will be a replica of the hangar at the Hall Flying School, which was relocated to Trumbull County by Ernie Hall in the early 1920s. The Ernie Hall Aviation Museum was founded in 2014 to recognize the contributions made by U.S. aviators in advancing aeronautics, particularly those with local ties. The museum will display aviation artifacts and collectibles, in addition to promoting education through lectures, gatherings, tours and other events. The museum is expected to be open in August and will host its first major event, “Wings-n-Wheels,” on Aug. 9-10.

Home Energy Assistance warns of fraudulent calls

f you live in Mahoning County or a surrounding county and you receive assistance from the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), beware that there are fraudulent calls being conducted in the area. “It has been brought to the attention of the Mahoning Youngstown Community Action Partnership (MYCAP) and the Ohio Development Services Agency (ODSA) that there are clients receiving calls from an agency identifying themselves as a ‘HEAP’ provider, or as the Energy Assistance Program,” said Vesna Vukasinovich, MYCAP’s director of Home Energy Services. “In addition, the caller is requesting personal bank account information and Social Security numbers. HEAP does not require bank information. MYCAP, ODSA and other reputable organizations never ask for any information about their financial institution because the energy assistance is not directly paid to the bank, but rather eligible households receive a credit,” she added. Reports indicate that the calls are coming from a 1-800 number and in all cases the caller states ‘HEAP’ was awarded extra money to assist with customers because of the recent cold snap. Further, they say that bank account information is needed in order to credit the award to their bank account. These calls are not from MYCAP and/ or the Home Energy Assistance Program. The actual HEAP process does not include deposits into bank accounts; rather they credit a person’s energy bill. “If someone receives a call from someone regarding the request to provide personal information about HEAP, please do not give any bank account information out over the phone because it is not necessary and likely a scam to steal your personal information,” Vukasinovich added. Residents who receive such calls are encouraged to report the call to MYCAP by contacting Vukasinovich at 330-7477921, ext. 1734.

Summer Festival seeking artists for annual event

he 16th Annual Summer Festival of the Arts will be held at and around Youngstown State University July 12 and 13. A celebration of both the fine and performing arts, the festival enjoys wide community participation from local and regional arts groups, cultural institutions, ethnic and civic groups and the greater University community. Artist applications for the juried fine art show are now available, and artists are encouraged to apply by the April 4, 2014 early deadline. Each application must be accompanied by the $20 jury fee. If accepted, the booth fee is $100. The Summer Festival of the Arts does not rent tables; all artists must submit an application and materials and be accepted by a panel of professional jurors. Over 80 artists participated in the two-day event last year, which also includes an ethnic festival, jazz concert and family activities. “The Summer Festival of the Arts has become a cornerstone of activities for a weekend- long series of events in our community,” said Festival Coordinator Lori A. Factor. “Artists from near and far travel to our area to participate in this event. We are grateful to the community for supporting the arts over the years as well as to the artists who have exhibited and sold their artwork. We are looking forward to the variety of activities planned to celebrate a 16th year of bringing great art to the Valley.” The Summer Festival of the Arts originally began as the popular “Walk on Wick,” an event sponsored by the Youngstown Area Arts Council. In a partnership between the then-Arts Council and YSU, it became a department of the University in 1999, expanding into a weekend long juried arts event at and around YSU. Applications for fine artists wishing to sell their artwork in the Artists’ Marketplace are available by emailing Lori Factor at lafactor@ ysu.edu or by downloading an application at the festival website, www.ysu.edu/sfa.

Cold weather fails to deter flurry of wine tastings D espite the extremely cold weather, February had a number of fine tastings for those who could brave the wintry conditions. Michael Charles Premier Wines (Elm Road in Warren) debuted their 2014 bimonthly dinner taste on Feb. 21 at Vernon’s Café in Niles. Vernon Cesta prepared a delicious five-course seasonal dinner to accompany wines from the Pacific Northwest The selected by Michael Wine Charles owners Nick Guy and Loretta Uroseva. John Webster The appetizer course of pastry pinwheels filled with cranberries, roasted peppers and feta cheese was paired to a glass of

2012 A to Z Pinot Gris from Oregon.

Aromatic fresh fruit flavors and a crisp clean finish were a fine partner for the appetizer. A 2012 Charles Smith Eve Chardonnay from Washington was the featured wine to go with the second course of savory winter squash stuffed with wild rice and mushrooms. Balanced apple and pear flavors meshed wonderfully with the hearty winter squash. A hearty bowl of fisherman’s stew was a perfect choice for the 2011 Wine by Joe Pinot Noir from Oregon. Rich dark cherry flavors and a velvety finish partnered well with the fresh seafood and vegetable stew. For our fourth course, crowd-pleasing grilled cilantro chicken topped with roasted tomatoes and avocado salsa was served with a glass of 2010 Mercer Canyons Red Blend from Washington’s Columbia Valley. Mercer’s blend consisted of 59 percent Merlot, 23 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 14 percent Syrah, and 4 percent Carmenere, producing a rich spicy red that went very well with the bold salsa-topped chicken. Our fifth and final course was sliced grilled prime sirloin drizzled with horseradish sauce, along with a potato-zucchini latke. It was accompanied by a glass of 2010 Kiona Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington. This mostly Cab blend (75

Another fine red that I tasted last month was the 2010 Mossback Cabernet ($20.99) from the Chalk Hill region of California. The Mossback is a muscular blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (75 percent), Merlot (20 percent) and a smidgen of Temperanillo (5 percent) to soften the tannins. Rustic yet complex red fruit flavors lead to a finish marked by tobacco and spicy leather. With only 734 cases produced, I would recommend stocking up on this red wine. Upcoming events include a 4 p.m. beer tasting Sunday, March 16 at the Springfield Grille; 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.
