s much as I love summer, there’s something special about fall. As we move into a season of transition, we also get to contemplate the changes in our lives. Young children move from the carefree pursuits of summer to their first days in elementary school. Graduating seniors make the transition from high school to college life. It’s also the time when arts and performance groups launch new seasons. I view education and self-improvement as dual lifetime pursuits. While Explore the Mahoning Valley provides critical information for new students, it’s also useful for anyone who values the rich educational and cultural opportunities found throughout the Mahoning Valley.

hildren in Youngstown can now enjoy a new dek hockey rink in Mill Creek Park thanks to the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation. A bus carrying Penguins employees arrived bright and early to construct the rink over the course of a few hours in late August. They were also joined by several other volunteers, including Mill Creek MetroParks staff, Home Savings and Loan employees, the financial backer of the initiative, and members of the Youngstown Phantoms. Over the course of a few hours in hotand-humid weather, a group of about 30 people – equipped with mallets – hammered in the Lego-like blue, yellow and red plastic pieces into place. The group sweated it out to bring the new dek to fruition. Those in attendance also included Foundation President David Soltesz who has helped with what is called the Power Play Project, an initiative to bring young people an affordable and attainable method for playing hockey. “We have a lot of fans in the Youngstown market and we have a great relationship with the Phantoms hockey team here, so we had been talking for a couple years about doing various things,” Soltesz said. From there, Mill Creek MetroParks came into the picture. The park system wanted to convert their winter ice hockey rink into something that can be used all year long. The dek is the fourteenth completed by the foundation, but the first to be built in Ohio and outside of the western Pennsylvania area. Its costs are estimated around $250,000 for a dek that can be used year round, despite changing weather conditions. The dek material is described as being “friendly on the feet.” Dek hockey is often called “ball hockey” and is played on an non-ice surface. Instead of a puck, the game is played with a ball as players use their feet in place of ice skates to navigate the rink. A vocal leader in the work group was Abbey Braddock. She’s a bit of a veteran when it comes to putting these deks together, having been a part of 10 other projects. Wielding blueprints, she helped oversee the project, helping anywhere she could.

The dek hockey rink in Mill Creek MetroParks is the fourteenth completed by the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation and the first facility in Ohio. She also gave some insight into the process. “We always start from the center line and build from the left first,” she said. “This is like our troubleshooting time, to see how everything lays out. Then we delegate out to people [and] lay out the other sides.” Fighting through one of the hottest days of the month, Braddock and her fellow builders communicated throughout to see things through. “It’s a sport that’s growing and this is a footing that will help,” said Youngstown Phantoms Coach Brad Peterson. His hope is that the Dek will also bring out the

orth Phelps Street in downtown Youngstown attracts a sizable crowd on any given Friday and Saturday night. Suzie’s Dogs and Drafts is the big draw on North Phelps, but people also use the street as a route to the different bars and restaurants downtown. North Phelps, located between West Commerce and West Federal, is arguably the most essential connecting street in downtown in terms of business and entertainment. A portion of North Phelps is currently a work in progress. On the same side as Suzie’s, construction is under way on the Rhine House Bier Hall, a German-style restaurant operated by Justice League Restaurants, the same group that owns Suzie’s. The east side of North Phelps seems less connected – visually and in its use. There’s a side entrance to 20 Federal Place, a pair of service doors leading to restaurants in the building’s food court, and a first floor wraparound storefront for the Wick Tower. On South Phelps, the downtown recently added the Whistle & Keg and a new studio for Golden String Radio. On weekdays, the one-way street provides access and parking for those working and visiting downtown. Yet the atmosphere and purpose of North Phelps may soon change. A public meeting held in late May discussed the possibility of closing off North Phelps to vehicular traffic and turning it into a pedestrian walkway. North Phelps was chosen because it proved to be a viable candidate for connecting the downtown with Youngstown State University. The street is also seen as an important connector to the future downtown amphitheater, which is currently under construction on Front Street. Improvements totaling $200,000 would include an archway near West Federal Street, comparable to archways at Short North in Columbus. North Phelps would also get decorative street lamps, brick pav-

kids and adults who weary of the ice rinks around the area. “To have one of the nicest Dek facilities here in Youngstown, I can’t think of something that would be better.” Moving forward, Peterson thinks of this as something that can be huge for not only youth hockey but the sport as a whole. Something the Power Play Project has been striving to achieve. “I think it’s gonna be a nice cornerstone for the Park,” said Soltesz, but his vision for the Park won’t happen overnight. “In a year or two, I see 200-250 kids playing organized Dek hockey, I see them bringing tournaments here, I see possibility of adult leagues up here.” With time, the new Dek can inspire future generations of potential Phantoms or Penguin players. In the meantime though, it’ll stand as yet another symbol of a growing Youngstown. SEE PHELPS, PAGE 7

The closed street would present will become a destination space,” she said. Plans for the street closure have led to concerns about access and loss of 12 parking spaces along the west side of the street. Along with the loss of parking spaces, Neider said complaints she heard at the recent public meeting dealt with deliveries to the businesses in 20 Federal Place. Neider said the city is hoping to come up with a solution that addresses delivery access and downtown circulation. Despite these issues, Oliver said he supports the project and believes it will improve the aesthetics of downtown. “So we don’t lose any circulation downtown and to make up for the loss of a drivable street, I think traffic on Hazel Street should be two-way instead of one,” Oliver said. Many businesses on North Phelps appear to approve of the project but there are some questions and concerns.

Colliding galaxies, distant worlds at Beecher Planetarium BY TANNER J. MONDOK METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

fter marking its 50th anniversary last year, the Ward Beecher Planetarium at Youngstown State University is getting ready for its upcoming season in early September. Dr. Patrick Durrell, Planetarium director and professor of astronomy, said that visitors will be amazed by what they see. “Cosmic Castaways,” which was produced at YSU, returns this fall. The show is about colliding galaxies and stars getting ripped out of galaxies. “We’re rather proud of that one,” Durrell said. Durrell said that they try to have new content as well because the Planetarium receives a lot of repeat visitors. “Undiscovered Worlds,” a new YSU-produced show about the search for exoplanets, will debut in February. In April, the Planetarium will present “First and Farthest,” which is about Apollo 11. “Next year is the fiftieth anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the moon, so you know we want to have a show that at least talks a little bit about that,” he said. Planetarium lecturer and program creator Tiffany Stone Wolbrecht said the Harry Potter weekend will return, as well as a new show called “Eyes on Chile Skies.” “I went to Chile this summer and I got to tour through some of the world’s best telescopes and observatories in the Andes Mountains,” Wolbrecht said. “I’m going to give a presentation on what that was like.” She said the program will include an exploration of the Southern Hemisphere. “Most of the time, when you come to a Planetarium show, we show you what the night sky looks like around Youngstown, but . . . you get to see a whole new sky. There’s different constellations and everything looks really different.” Durrell said a Planetarium show is not

Street plan seeks to integrate transit, automobiles, bikes BY SEAN T. POSEY METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

ince the formal adoption of the YoungsS town 2010 Comprehensive Plan in 2005, the city has worked to downsize infrastructure and improve connections between the downtown and major stakeholders in the community. In 2009, the city collaborated with YSU by connecting the central business district to the university by extending Hazel Street north to Lincoln Avenue. It’s in this spirit that Eastgate Regional Council of Governments, Mahoning Valley’s metropolitan planning agency, submitted an application in July to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s BUILD (Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development) program. Eastgate hopes to obtain $10.8 million in federal funding for the Youngstown Smart2 Network, which aims to connect “Strategic & Sustainable, Medical & Manufacturing, Academic & Arts, Residential & Recreational, Technology & Training” centers in and around downtown. If successful, the project would also leverage over $10.5 million in local matching funds. Eastgate offered to sponsor the application because of its potential to impact not only the city but also surrounding areas, said Jim Kinnick, Eastgate’s executive director. “When you talk about the recreation, the technology, the medical aspect and the educational aspect – we have it all here,” Kinnick said. “However, it’s not easy to get to. It’s not well connected. This type of project will bring all these amenities together.” Planned enhancements include improving pedestrian walkways and adding bicycle lanes, while subjecting several arteries to “road diets” (roadway-width reductions). Fifth Avenue is the “spine” of the project, according to Kinnick. “One of the criteria for these types of grants is safety. When pedestrians are trying to cross several lanes of a road that’s not well lit, that’s dangerous.” Fifth Avenue helps connects St. Elizabeth Hospital on Belmont, YSU and the WRTA Federal Station to the central business district, but is currently too wide and not friendly enough to pedestrians and bicyclists, he explained. Fifth Avenue would be converted to a divided boulevard with a median, one lane

on each side, a turning lane and multiuse lanes for bicyclists. “This is the ‘complete streets’ method of upgrading roads, Kinnick said. “We bring in the highway lighting, we make it pedestrian friendly, we build out the crosswalks, and we put the benches down. We’re going to have transit hubs for the shuttles.” Rayen Avenue would be reduced from four lanes to three, and similar changes would be made to Front and Commerce streets as well as Park Avenue. According to the plan, an estimated total of 3.3 miles of road would be converted to bike lanes. These changes are in stark contrast to the policies of the postwar urban renewal era, when approximately 104,000 more people lived in Youngstown. Planners predicted continuous growth for the city during the 1950s and beyond. At the time, motor ve-

opposite problem exists today. According to Eastgate, Front Street was designed for seven times the capacity of traffic it regularly carries today. “Complete Street” design elements would be added to Front, Commerce, Phelps and Federals streets, as well as Fifth, Rayen and Park avenues. This should provide safe access for pedestrians and bicyclists, Kinnick said. This round of BUILD has more of a focus on innovation and technology, according to Kinnick. Eastgate has partnered with DriveOhio, a governmental organization within the Ohio Department of Transportation that is designed to organize and help implement smart vehicle and connected vehicle projects throughout the state. Eastgate proposes in the grant to put two autonomous shuttle loops in the city – one running around the campus from downtown Youngstown to St. Elizabeth, and the other through Fifth Avenue and YSU to the future site of the Joseph Co. International’s chill-can plant on the East Side. “We feel this should give us a stronger application,” Kinnick said. Implementation of the Smart2 Network could make the area more attractive to other manufacturers and major employers, said Sarah Boyarko, senior vice president of economic development at the Youngstown/ Warren Regional Chamber. “As we’ve seen with projects like the Amazon HQ2 property search, companies are increasingly paying attention to the transportation infrastructure and walkability of communities during the site selection process, so it’s essential that we continue to leverage all available resources to move the Valley forward.” Providing multi-modal connections

State’s campus as well as the surrounding neighborhoods, people will have increased access to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital; therefore, able to receive care when they need it,” said Donald Kline, Chief Executive Officer at Mercy Health – St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital. “One of the things that surprised me was the amount of students who are trying to get from the university to the hospital and vice versa,” Kinnick added. The Smart2 Network could also help tie together the many arts and cultural attractions present in the downtown and surrounding area, said Hunter Morrison, former director of campus planning and community partnerships at YSU. “We have here the largest concentration of arts and cultural organizations – within about a mile radius of each other – of anyplace in Northeast Ohio other than University Circle,” he said. “The planned improvements do a very good job of connecting several of Youngstown and Mahoning Valley’s principal cultural and entertainment assets, including Stambaugh Auditorium and Stambaugh Stadium, which is now becoming a major concert venue.” Other major attractions that can be enhanced by the Smart2 Network are currently in some stage of planning. The city of Youngstown received a $500,000 Clean Ohio Trail Funds Award in 2017 to build a bike path from the downtown waterfront to Mill Creek Park. An $8 million outdoor amphitheater that will seat 4,500 people is scheduled to open next spring. Eastgate filed an application in October 2017 for a TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) grant, which was an Obama-era iteration of the BUILD grant. They ultimately failed to receive funding. “It’s our understanding that there are four categories that you can get put into when you submit your application,” Kinnick said. “We reached ‘highly rated,’ which is level three. In level four, that’s where you begin to get funded. So, we felt we just missed it.” If they ultimately fail to receive a BUILD grant, the improvements to Fifth Avenue will still move ahead as scheduled. “It will

EXPLORE THE MAHONING VALLEY Arts group to host historic church tours P

ower of the Arts, in partnership with St. John’s Episcopal Church, will host three talks on religious art and architecture this month. In addition, a trolley tour will make stops at several iconic churches in downtown Youngstown. The programs are free, with support from Ohio Humanities, said Karen Schubert, coordinator for Power of the Arts, an arts-andculture-advocacy nonprofit for Mahoning and Trumbull counties. The talks and tour are part of “Arts Means Business,” a yearly series on arts development. The talks will occur on Friday, Sept. 14, 21 and 28 at St. John’s Episcopal Church on Wick Avenue and include lunch catered by Cultivate Café, Kravitz Deli, and K’nafa. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. for the noon to 1 p.m. talks. “Religious art and architecture were critical to the Valley’s social fabric from the beginning,” said Schubert. “But now, we don’t always know what we’re looking at, what it means, how it connects with other stories.” Art historians Adam Sullivan and Dr. Mary Manning will lead the talks and tour. Sullivan will speak on “Religious Art History” on Sept. 14. Manning will speak on “Curating Religious Art” on Sept. 21 and “Engaging Community Through PLANETARIUM, From Page 13

with video and that allows us to do the pre-recorded shows, the flythroughs, the visualizations, we call them,” he said. “It’s a lot more engaging than just talking about what the galaxy looks like. We can actually take you and fly you around and show you what the galaxy would look like and show-not-tell is much more favorable.” The second component, which has been at the Planetarium since it opened in 1967, is the star ball.

Religious Art” on Sept. 28. Rev. Gayle Catinella of St. John’s Episcopal Church said the talks were designed to appeal to a wide range of interests. “Of course clergy, boards, administrators and members of faith communities will be interested, we think,” said Catinella. “Ecumenical Christianity, Judaism, Islam, all of the faiths have given us a rich legacy of artifacts. But also students, teachers and other community members interested in history, art, architecture, development, historic preservation.” In addition to the talks, Man-

Rev. Gayle Catinella of St. John’s Episcopal Church said the talks were designed to appeal to a wide range of interests. ning will lead a free trolley tour of historic churches of downtown Youngstown. The tour will be from 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 16, in conjunction with Oh Wow’s “Silly Science Sunday.” “Oh Wow is making a generous space for the humanities at their fun and high-energy event,” said Schubert. “We love our community partners focused on science

and technology, and we also appreciate adding an A to STEM to make STEAM.” The tour will start at 1 p.m. at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 323 Wick Ave., and end at Noble Creature Cask House, 126 E. Rayen Ave. Stops will include Trinity Methodist Church, St. John’s Episcopal Church, First Presbyterian Church, Saints Cyril & Methodius Church, and Holy Trinity Romanian Orthodox Church. Other stops include the restored and repurposed Butler North and Noble Creature Cask House. “Maybe you are like me and want to go into every old church,” said Schubert. “But my fondest wish is to go in with a guide, to better understand what I’m looking at.” Schubert noted that many Youngstown churches are deteriorating or slated for demolition due to dwindling population and new churches are being built on the community’s edge. “Here is an opportunity to appreciate these important, gorgeous buildings while we can,” she said. All programs are free and open to the public. Registration is required, and the registration deadline is Sept. 5. For more information and to register, visit PowerOfTheArts.org.

“In 1967, it was called the Spitz A3 and in 2006 it was replaced with the machine we have now which is the GOTO Chronos,” Spivey said. “This is what we refer to as an optomechanical star ball.” The star ball projects onto the dome using lights and lenses. Spivey said that even though there’s a lot you can do with the star ball that you can’t with video, they use both of them in tandem during their public shows. To enhance the experience,

there’s a 5.1 surround sound system installed in the Planetarium. A fourth component is the covelighting system. “They are RGB – red, blue and green – LED lights. Red, blue and green are the primary colors of light, so we can take those and mix them and make any color you want on the dome. In addition, it’s also programmable.” Spivey said. “These are things that we’ve programmed ourselves into the covelight system. We can make them

dance. We use these in conjunction with our Halloween show, our Christmas show and our rock shows where we can make the lights accent what’s going on on the dome with the video system.” The Ward Beecher Planetarium is located in room 2001, a tribute to the Stanley Kubrick film, “2001: A Space Odyssey,” in YSU’s Ward Beecher Science Hall.

Arts & Culture

EXPLORE

University district offers museums, libraries, local culture Editor’s note: Emmalee C. Torisk originally wrote the following article. Updates and additions are by the Metro Monthly staff. 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), Wick Avenue and the North Side of Youngstown. While some cultural districts are well-established, others are more recent and still finding their audience. Join Metro Monthly as we explore these areas and see what they have to offer.

UNIVERSITY DISTRICT

Steel era’s wealth created legacy institutions on Wick

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:

DOWNTOWN DISTRICT

Restaurants, apartments, hotel redefine downtown

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 strong signs of renewal, thanks to new apartments, emerging entertainment venues, and other businesses popping up and occupying once-vacant storefronts and structures. More established, timehonored 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. ■ Art Gallery on Phelps. 8 N Phelps St.; Youngstown 44503.

Other major attractions that can be enhanced by the Smart2 Network are currently in some stage of planning. The city of Youngstown received a $500,000 Clean Ohio Trail Funds Award in 2017 to build a bike path from the downtown waterfront to Mill Creek Park. An $8 million outdoor amphitheater that will seat 4,500 people is scheduled to open next spring.

German Potato Salad (Kartoffel Salat) METRO MONTHLY PHOTO BY RON FLAVIANO

Frikadellen served with potatoes

Recipe by Helga the Kitchen Witch

Jaeger Schnitzel with mushroom sauce

Frikadellen (German-Style Burgers)

6 medium potatoes

Jaeger Schnitzel

Recipe by Helga the Kitchen Witch

¼ teaspoon pepper

This is a German recipe for a meat patty that you can eat hot or cold. It is traditionally served in German beer gardens and restaurants. Because the patties have rye bread in the mixture, they are typically eaten without bread.

½ teaspoon salt 4-5 slices diced bacon (save bacon fat) 1 medium onion chopped 1-2 stalks celery diced (green peppers optional) 1 tablespoon yellow mustard 4 tablespoons water

1½ pounds ground beef (chuck) ½ pound ground pork 3 slices dry rye bread 2 eggs ½ teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1 medium onion, diced 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (optional) 1 tablespoon Maggi seasoning Bread crumbs Mix ground meat together in a bowl. Soak rye bread in water for 10 minutes. Squeeze bread dry and crumble it by hand into the bowl. Mix “Fricks go in to the meat mixture great with a the onion, eggs, salt, nice German pepper and seasoning. beer.” Mix well. Add cheese – Helga the (optional). Mix well. Form Kitchen Witch meat mixture into meat patties (the size of a small hamburger). Press patties into bread crumbs on both sides.

3 tablespoons vinegar

Makes 10-12 patties

Make sauce first and set aside.

For the sauce 4 tablespoons butter 2⁄3 cup of wine, sherry or stock 2⁄3 cup heavy cream 1 onion finely chopped

½ teaspoon sugar

1 lb. mushrooms sliced. Use any mushrooms you like

3 hard-boiled eggs coarsely chopped

½ bunch parsley fine chopped

Cook potatoes and peel. Potatoes have to be warm; cut into thin slices. Add diced onions and celery (and optional green peppers). Add salt and pepper. In a pan, cook bacon until crisp. Drain bacon fat, but save. In the pan, leave the bacon grease, add mustard, water, vinegar, and sugar. Add a little Maggi or a half beef bouillon. Heat the pan and bring to a boil. Turn off and pour liquid mixture over the potatoes; mix well. Add the hard boiled eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Salt and pepper

If the dressing is too dry, add a little more water and vinegar. Serve at room temperature. “Guten Appetit!” – Helga the Kitchen Witch

Melt the butter in a skillet. Sauté onions for 3-4 minutes, add mushrooms. Cook for 6-7 minutes. Add salt and pepper, add wine, and cook for 5-6 minutes. Add cream and add a little flour to thicken.

For the schnitzel 4-6 pork loin cut ½ to ¾ inches thick (You can use a chicken breast) Lemon pepper seasoning 2 eggs 1-1½ cups bread crumbs. Italian, if you like 4-5 tablespoons vegetable shortening or oil for frying ½ to 1 cup flour

Cooking the schnitzel

Fry in shortening on medium heat 5 to 6 minutes on each side until brown. Frikadellen goes well with green beans, home fries, mashed potatoes, or as a casual food to eat with your fingers. It also goes well with a good German beer.

Recipe by Helga the Kitchen Witch

be a difficult void to fill,” Kinnick said about the possibility of not receiving funding, “but we are going to continue to progress and continue to push.” Sarah Lowry, director of Healthy Community Partnership, hopes that regardless of the outcome, the project will increase awareness of critical issues regarding the relationship between healthy communities and the built environment. “These types of improvements to city streets – sidewalk repairs, safer street design for pedestrians and bicyclists, inclusion of green infrastructure – should not stop or be sidelined until the next grant, in downtown Youngstown or beyond. We need to recognize the critical relationships between our built environments in our cities (downtowns and neighborhoods), suburbs, townships, and our health, individual, economic, and environmental.” Morrison sees the grant as another step toward building on the vision of the Youngstown 2010 Plan and the development work that has taken place in and around the downtown since then. “If you look at the list of plans going back to 2010, there’s a sequence of work that’s all consistent and adds up to a broadly accepted and understood development strategy. Once you have that, it’s a heck of a lot easier to get people outside of the community to understand what’ you’re doing – and this plan presents that extremely well.”

Traditional German potato salad (served warm)

Have three shallow dishes – one with flour, one with bread crumbs and one with beaten eggs. Pound the meat very thin, season with lemon pepper or salt and pepper. Dip meat in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Heat a large skillet and put the vegetable shortening or oil in skillet, brown the meat on both sides, turn once (schnitzel cooks fast). When serving, put schnitzel on a plate and add a spoonful of mushroom sauce. Garnish with parsley. “Guten Appetit!” – Helga the Kitchen Witch

TIMELINE THE SUMMER OF 2018

Longtime Scrappers host boosts players, energizes team BY CHRIS MCBRIDE

Gail Drushel is there for every home game. Whether the crowd gives in to her noise is of no matter to her, she’s there to cheer on her boys.

METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Mahoning Valley Scrappers game is about more than just baseball. The atmosphere resembles a carnival with the aroma of cooking oils, beer and hot dogs. There are plenty of noises blooming throughout – from children running and cheering throughout the aisles, music blaring to keep the energy, and the announcer dishing out his signature sound effects. Even the workers get in on the spectacle, with one hot dog vendor donning a cape and crown and dubbing himself “king of weiners.” Somewhere along the first base side of Eastwood Field, you may pick up on a piercing sound chime through the crowd over at the last lone picnic table. There sits Gail Drushel, a 70-year-old fan, doing what she’s been doing for 19 years in that very same spot, trying her best to energize Eastwood Field. “We ran our Scrappers Backers 50/50 from there,” said Drushel. “We still sit there even though the Backers are no longer doing the 50/50.” It’s always just another day at Eastwood Field, workers, some from the Scrappers organization and some fellow fans walk by, always making sure to wave hello in between her ringing of her bell or blowing her whistle. She’s a household voice around the ballpark. If you ask her, when the announcer plays the signature “Day-o” from the classic “Banana Boat” song, you might hear something different if you listen closer. She chants ÒGaaail!Ó when the opportunity strikes. And Drushel is there for every home game. Whether the crowd gives in to her noise is of no matter to her, she’s there to cheer on her boys. What Drushel does from her seat matters, though it’s the role she assumes as a host family that’s really the backbone of the Scrappers. It takes a village to run a minor league team, traveling expenses for the road games, coaches, game-to-game operations and, most importantly, giving them a place to call home. During the short season, players have the option to save on expenses and live with a local host family. Starting in June, Drushel, a great-grandmother of three, and her husband, Terry, take in players as part of a network of families hosting young athletes throughout the season. According to Kate Walsh, director of tickets and operations, “ninety percent” of the Scrappers roster relies on host families

Gail Drushel of Howland has hosted Scrappers team players for 19 years. during the short season. There are currently 12 families hosting between two or three players at a time. Each family is selected in a vetting process by the Scrappers organization. “There’s no specific family we look for, but they’re typically fans first before becoming hosts,” Walsh explained. “You can apply through us, and then we do an interview process to get an idea of why they want to host players.” From there, athletes are paired with families based on both the preferences of the family and players. “The families don’t get the roster till opening day, from there it’s about figuring out what both prefer. Do they prefer families with kids? Because some athletes enjoy the family aspect,” said Walsh. Some host families, like Drushel’s, are longtime fans and empty nesters looking to fill the gap. Drushel said her host duties are simple, “I just try to keep them happy so they don’t have to worry about much.” Having served as a host family since 2005, she knows what to expect. A happy home means less stress weighing on players throughout the season. It helps clear their mind and allows them to focus on baseball. But when players arrive, Drushel’s duties around the house begin to grow. “It typically means more food, later hours, more laundry and more trips to and from Eastwood Field,” she said. This year, Drushel is hosting three players: Juan Mota, Adondi Kery, and Elvis

Perez, all from the Dominican Republic. Most of the athletes she hosts typically come from Latin countries, though she’s had ballplayers from around the world. “We’ve had players from Korea, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Japan, Canada and Australia,” Drushel said. She says she's grown accustomed to hosting Latino players, and along the way grasping some of the language. “I’ve picked up some Spanish, mostly on the bad words they teach me,” she laughed, though she also uses social media as tool of communication. “Sometimes I’ll use a translator app and that’ll help for us to get each others points across.” When all else fails, they resort to visual aides to communicate. “We’ll do a lot of sign language from time to time. I’ll say ‘Are you hungry?’ and we’ll rub our stomachs to signal,” she said. Drushel welcomes the idea of hosting these players, even when other host families shy away from the perceived challenges. As she explains, “Some have views about them, and how they live and where they come from, that they’re hoodlums. That’s far from the truth.” Instead, she described the players as being like your average teenage boys who just so happen to be playing for a single-A minor league baseball team. “On their off days, they’re probably either sleeping, playing on their Playstation, swimming or, of course, playing on their phones like normal kids,” Drushel said.

The role Drushel assumes is essential for helping the players through such a short season. She’s a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, so the experience carries over to her duties as host. “The leadership role she takes shows she still has that eternal motherly feeling. She’s helping them learn and helping them grow,” said Walsh. The role she’s taken on goes well beyond the basic requirement of a host family. To her players and even the organization, she’s seen as being the “team mom.” Walsh even described her as being an extended communicator. “She lets the other host families know when the buses are coming in when the players are coming off road games.” Drushel even takes it upon herself to prepare meals for her players. “I’ll pack them up goody bag with buns, avocados, cupcakes, peanut butter. Things they like.” she said. Her giving nature extends to the coaches as well. “I’ll make sure the coaching staff gets one, too, although smaller than the ones for the boys.” Her name is so famous among the Scrappers that it’s even made it up the ranks to the Cleveland Indians organization, with Drushel becoming a recognizable face during Arizona spring training. “I’ve gotten to know the Indians staff over the years,” Drushel said. “They’ll see me around during spring training and they’ll say, ‘Hey, Gail still here?’ and I’ll say, ‘Yeah, I’m still here!’ ” Over the years, Drushel has hosted a slew of players, a few of whom have made it the Indians roster – Giovanny Urshela, Joe Colon and José Ramírez, among others. Drushel says the goodbyes have gotten easier over time. Just recently she parted ways with yet another player mid-season. “When they get transferred or have to leave, I’ll pack up their clothes and say my goodbyes.” But a goodbye isn’t always the end. Some players she’s hosted still keep in touch long after their stint in the Mahoning Valley. In fact, a player from Puerto Rico plans to return to Ohio with his family this winter simply to see snow. When he does, Drushel will be there welcoming him with open but colder arms than normal.
