Mancini, former lightweight boxing champion of the world, is a close friend of O’Neill’s. Also being recognized is the Seitz family, who will receive the May Vetterle award.

Anthony Vross, president of Glacier Sports, Inc. and owner of Simon Roofing, gathered more than 16 baseball professionals to teach clinics at Valley Sports. The youth are a part of the Youngstown Police Athletic League, and have learned the particulars of the sport. The league, now in its second year, offers free sport programs for city youth. John Zizzo, director of instruction for Ohio Glaciers, is one of the professionals teaching the clinics. With more than 30 years of baseball experience, Zizzo has been a minor league field manager, head coach at Youngstown State University and a hitting coach for the Colorado Rockies. Former White Sox and Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jack Kusic helped to teach the clinic as well.

Relay for Life to mark 25th anniversary in May
W
hat began in 1985 as one man’s passion to make a difference in the fight against cancer has blossomed into the world’s largest nonprofit fundraising movement involving more than 5,000 communities worldwide. The American Cancer Society Relay For Life has raised approximately $3 billion, making it the largest global fundraising event of its kind. Relay For Life has grown from one man and one walk to a global grassroots movement uniting more than 3.5 million participants in the United States and 19 other countries. Relay For Life provides cancer survivors, loved ones, caregivers and others the chance to celebrate, remember and fight back against the disease. It’s also
an opportunity to come together and share the message of hope. In 2009, Relay For Life commemorates its 25th year. In 1985, Dr. Gordy Klatt’s 83-mile journey around a Tacoma, Wash. athletic track raised $27,000 for the American Cancer Society. The colorectal surgeon established an event that has made a difference in the lives of countless people. Twenty five years later Klatt continues his involvement in his local community reflecting the spirit of millions of Relayers around the globe. Participants involved in Relay gather at local stadiums or other areas for an overnight experience to celebrate loved ones who have battled cancer, remember those who have lost their lives, and commit to fight back against the disease. “Relay For Life gives people an opportunity to participate in the American Cancer Society’s mission of promoting healthy lifestyles, saving lives and providing personal assistance to those affected by cancer. We’ve seen such great progress in these areas. It gives everyone the chance to make a difference,” said Shannon Ealy, Regional Income Development Director of the Northeast Ohio Region American Cancer Society. A number of different activities take place during each overnight event, which last between 18 and 24 hours. If a team member is not walking or running, there are contests, games, entertainment, food and other activities. For more information, call toll free, 1-800-ACS-2345 or visit www.cancer.org.

Due to its overwhelming popularity, the National Trust extended the celebration to the entire month of May and declared it Preservation Month to enable more Americans to become involved in the preservation movement. The National Trust for Historic Preservation is a non-profit membership organization that seeks to bring people together
to protect, enhance and enjoy the places that matter to them.

With headquarters in Washington, D.C., nine regional and field offices, 29 historic sites, and partner organizations in all 50 states, the National Trust provides leadership, education, advocacy and resources to a national network of people, organizations and local communities committed to saving and preserving historic places.

oungstown State University Provost Ikram Khawaja last month announced the recommendations of two new college deans: Joseph Mosca, currently associate dean of YSU’s Bitonte College of Health and Human Services, for dean of that college, and Bryan DePoy, interim dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at Southeastern Louisiana University, for dean of YSU’s College of Fine and Performing Arts. The new deans are expected to start their new positions on July 1. Khawaja announced the recommendations during mid-April committee meetings of the YSU Board of Trustees. The board were expected to act on the recommendations later last month. Mosca replaces John Yemma, who retired as dean last summer. DePoy replaces Joe Edwards, who retires as dean on July 1. “Dr. Mosca has experience that is deep both in the college and in the community and the region,” said Shearle Furnish, dean of YSU’s College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and chairwoman of the search committee for the Bitonte College of Health and Human Services position. “He is extremely well–connected in health and social service agencies across the region and will provide the kind of leadership necessary to move the college forward.” With about 3,500 students, the Bitonte College of Health and Human Services is the largest college at YSU. The college includes the departments of criminal justice, health professions, human ecology, human performance and exercise science, military science, nursing, physical therapy and social work.

Mosca earned a Ph.D. in social work from the University of Pittsburgh in 1992, a master’s degree in social work from the University of Illinois, Chicago, in 1981, and a bachelor’s degree in social work from UIC in 1980. He joined the faculty at YSU in 1989 as an assistant professor of social work, moving to associate professor in 1996 and professor in 2003. He served as assistant to the dean of the Bitonte College of Health and Human Services from 1996 to 2003, chaired the Department of Social Work from 2001 to 2007, and was associate dean of the college from 2007 to present. Mosca previously was director of clinical services for the Catholic Service League in Youngstown and a clinical social worker at Trumbull County Mental Health Center in Warren. Mosca has an extensive list of professional consultant/community service activities, publications, funded projects, national and international paper presentations, university service and professional development activities. Paul Kobulnicky, executive director of YSU’s Maag Library and chairman of the search committee for the College of Fine and Performing Arts position, said there was widespread support throughout all of the disciplines in the
college for DePoy’s candidacy. The College of Fine and Performing Arts, with nearly 1,000 students, includes the Dana School of Music and the departments of art, theater and dance, and communication. DePoy earned a doctor of music degree from Florida State University in 1998, a master of music degree from the University of New Mexico in 1993 and a bachelor of music degree from Indiana University (Bloomington) School of Music in 1991. He joined the faculty at Delta State University in Mississippi in 1993 as an assistant professor of music, and served as assistant to the dean of Arts and Sciences from 1998 to 1999. He then went to Southeastern Louisiana University in 1999 as an assistant professor of music, moving to associate professor in 2002 and professor in 2007. He was graduate coordinator of Music and Dramatic Arts at SLA from 2004 to 2006; interim director of the Northshore School of the Arts at SLA from 2006 to 2008; assistant dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences from January 2006 to present; and interim dean of the college from July 2008 to present. In the summer of 1992, DePoy was visiting instructor of Trumpet and Chamber Music (with the New Mexico Brass Quintet) at the Sydney Conservatory of Music, Queensland Conservatory of Music and Newcastle Conservatory of Music, all in Australia.

uman cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection have been identified in the United States. Human cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection also have been identified internationally. At press time, the current U.S. case count is at 64. States include: California, 10 cases; Kansas, 2 cases; New York City, 45 cases; Ohio, 1 case; Texas, 6 cases. Total count as of Wednesday, April 29: 64. Investigations are ongoing to determine the source of the infection and whether additional people have been infected with swine influenza viruses. The CDC is working very closely with officials in states where human cases of swine influenza A (H1N1) have been identified, as well as with health officials in Mexico, Canada and the World Health Organization. This includes deploying staff domestically and internationally to provide guidance and technical support. CDC has activated its Emergency Operations Center to coordinate this investigation.

There are everyday actions people can take to stay healthy. ◆ Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. ◆ Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective. ◆ Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way. ◆ Try to avoid close contact with sick people. Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people. If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. From December 2005 through February 2009, a total of 12 human infections with swine influenza were reported from 10 states in the United States. Since March 2009, a number of confirmed human cases of a new strain of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection in the U.S. and internationally have been identified. An investigation into these cases is ongoing. What is swine flu? Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. Swine flu viruses

However, at this time, it not known how easily the virus spreads between people. What are the signs and symptoms of swine flu in people? The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. In the past, severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in people. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions. How does swine flu spread? Spread of this swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. How can someone with the flu infect someone else? Infected people may be able to infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to seven or more days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are
sick, as well as while you are sick. What should I do to keep from getting the flu? First and most important: wash your hands. Try to stay in good general health. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. Try not touch surfaces that may be contaminated with the flu virus. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Are there medicines to treat swine flu? Yes. CDC recommends the use of oseltamivir or zanamivir for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with these swine influenza viruses. Antiviral drugs are prescription medicines (pills, liquid or an inhaler) that fight against the flu by keeping flu viruses from reproducing in your body. If you get sick, antiviral drugs can make your illness milder and make you feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sick (within two days of symptoms). How long can an infected person spread swine flu to others? People with swine influenza virus infection should be considered potentially contagious as long as they are symptomatic and possible for up to seven days following illness onset. Children, especially younger children, might potentially be contagious for longer periods. What surfaces are most likely to be sources of contamination? Germs can be spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs can be spread when a person touches respiratory
droplets from another person on a surface like a desk and then touches their own eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands. How long can viruses live outside the body? We know that some viruses and bacteria can live 2 hours or longer on surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs, and desks. What can I do to protect myself from getting sick? There is no vaccine available right now to protect against swine flu. There are everyday actions that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza.Take these everyday steps to protect your health: ◆ Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. ◆ Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. ◆ Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. ◆ Try to avoid close contact with sick people. If you get sick with influenza, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. What is the best way to keep from spreading the virus through coughing or sneezing? If you are sick, limit your contact with other people as much as possible. Do not go to work or school if ill. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick. Put your used tissue in the waste basket. Cover your cough or sneeze if you do not have a tissue. Then, clean your hands, and do
so every time you cough or sneeze. If you are sick, you should stay home and avoid contact with other people as much as possible to keep from spreading your illness to others. If you become ill and experience any of the following warning signs, seek emergency medical care. In children, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include: Fast breathing or trouble breathing; bluish skin color; not drinking enough fluids; not waking up or not interacting; being so irritable that the child does not want to be held; flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough; fever with a rash In adults, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include: Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath; pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen; sudden dizziness; confusion; severe or persistent vomiting. How serious is swine flu infection? Like seasonal flu, swine flu in humans can vary in severity from mild to severe. Swine flu infection can be serious. In September 1988, a previously healthy 32-year-old pregnant woman in Wisconsin was hospitalized for pneumonia after being infected with swine flu and died eight days later. A swine flu outbreak in Fort Dix, N.J. occurred in 1976 that caused more than 200 cases with serious illness in several people and one death. Can I get swine influenza from eating or preparing pork? No. Swine influenza viruses are not spread by food.You cannot get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products. Eating properly handled and cooked pork products is safe.

Vernon’s Cafe features wines from Friulian region of Italy A pril started off with a great tasting at Wine Styles of Howland featuring Ohio’s Laurello Vineyards and proceeded to a gourmet dinner wine taste at Vernon’s Cafe in Niles. In between was a smattering of fine wine shop tastings. Laurello Vineyards has always been a favorite of mine. On April 3, I met Kim Laurello at Wine Styles for the store’s weekly wine taste. The store was packed with eager wine aficionados waiting to sample Laurello’s newest offerings. They started off with the 2007 Josephine ($16.99) made from Grand River Valley grapes. As I stated in last month’s column, this wine is a sure show-stopper. A blend of Chardonnay (50 percent) and Viognier (50 percent), this stainless steelaged white exudes bright fruit flavors and a long complex finish. My next sample was the 2007 Grand River Riesling ($12.99). Slightly off-dry fruit flavors (citrusy peach) with a crisp clean finish, this would be a great wine for spicy Thai cuisine. At $8.99, the Connie’s Blush Rose offers lots of upfront strawberry and citrus fruit flavors. This off-dry rose was simply great with its soft and pretty finish. The 2007 Grand River Valley Pinot Noir ($19.99) was my first red pick. Larry Laurello’s winemaking skills extract everything this cool-climate grape variety has to offer. Medium-bodied with oodles of black cherry fruit flavors, this red finishes long with aromas of spice and leather. My next red was the 2007 Grand River Valley Cabernet Franc ($19.99). This tasty red, along with the aforementioned Pinot Noir, are in a class all by themselves. This cool-climate red resembles some of the wines that France’s Loire region is producing. Flavors of dried plums and cherries and a finish of flowers and fall leaves make this wine a great choice for hearty stews or grilled meats. My last red selection was the Cosmo ($17.99). This super-Tuscan blend of Sangiovese (75 percent) and Merlot (25 percent) produces a deep purple-hued wine with bold flavors of dark cherries and a finish tinged with mocha and spice. Finally, I sampled the Cabernet Franc Grace Dolce ($35.99) from Lake Erie Conneaut River fruit. This outstanding dessert wine exudes lush strawberry and pomegranate fruit flavors and a finish that seems to last forever. The next major event took me to Vernon’s Cafe for their April gourmet wine taste featuring wines from the Friulian region of Italy. Nannicola Wine Imports and Superior Beverages provided the wines for this wonderful taste. Restaurant owner Vernon Cesta and sommelier

Laurello Vineyards of Geneva, Ohio showcased their recent releases at an April Wine Styles tasting. Left to right: Lisa Bundy, Vintage Wines; Bryan Jones, Andrea and Mark Rhodes, Wine Styles; Linda and Kim Laurello, Laurello Vineyards.
Dennis Huston did an excellent job of pairing the foods to these unique Italian wines. The wines of Fruili set themselves apart in that they do not use new oak in the aging process. This means that the taster is savoring the true fruit flavors of the grapes and the soils that they were grown in. The evening began with everyone getting a sampling of the 2007 Drusian Prosecco. This aperitif-style sparkling wine was simply great as an opening salvo for the evening. Vernon’s first course of prosciutto with shaved reggiano parmigiano was paired to the 2007 Ratchis Tocai “Highlander” IGT $11.99). Pale yellow in hue with a delicate citrus and almond aroma, this was a very fine match. A second course of grilled shrimp with cannellini beans and arugula with basilcrusted scallops was paired to the Zorzettig 2006 Ribolla Gialla. Indigenous to the Fruili region, this flowery pale dry white wine was outstanding with the shrimp and scallops. This is a great choice for someone looking for a change of pace from cookiecutter Chardonnays. Next in line for sampling was the Zorzetting 2006 Cabernet Franc ($16.99). Vernon’s prepared a dish of casaraccia pasta with wild mushrooms and essence of truffle. The lush, earthy fruit flavors of the Cab Franc were sublime with the mushroom pasta dish. The dual main course featured a pairing of grilled lamb chops with mint pesto and a filet medallion drizzled in wild mushrooms and

wine guy BY JOHN WEBSTER Cabernet demi-glace. With this tasty dish, the 2003 Valchiaro Refrosco ($38.99) and the 2002 Torre Qual ($38.99) were served simultaneously. This gustatorial match-up was simply perfect. The indigenous Refrosco grape is found only in the Friuli region. Wild blackberry fruit flavors followed by a crisp long finish of spice and earth were just the ticket for the grilled lamb chops. Valchiaro’s Torre Qual is an intriguing blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Refrosco. More international in style, this wine should appeal to those who enjoy Meritage styles of reds. The tender filet was delicious with this cuvee (blend). The dessert course of chocolate and white mousse in a shot glass with a wine chocolate truffle was served with a 2007 Zorzetting Verduzzo ($15.99). With its finish of honey and hay, this golden, full-bodied off-dry white worked very nicely with the mousse. Special thanks to the staff of Vernon’s for hosting an enjoyable evening. It should be noted that sommelier Dennis Huston has once again garnered the prestigious Wine Spectator Wine List award. For nearly a decade, Vernon’s has received this award that recognizes restaurants offering an ex-
tensive and well-thought-out wine list. Five Points Wine and Bar in Poland held an end-of-the month wine tasting that produced a couple of real gems. My first pick was the 2007 Fess Parker Viognier ($15.99) from Santa Barbara County. Textured fruit flavors of peach and mango followed by a crisp clean finish made this a standout selection. I’ve previously reviewed the 2007 Haute Cabriere Chardonnay Pinot Noir blend ($17.99) and I’m always pleased with this wine from South Africa. Citrus fruit flavors with a tinge of strawberry on the end give this unique blend the ability to go with a large number of dishes. While at Five Points, I had a chance to sample the new 2005 Giana Zinfandel ($31.99) from the Chiarello family vineyards. This 99 percent Zin and 1 percent Petite Sirah blend is entirely hand harvested, exuding ripe plum and blackberry fruit flavors. This is a great wine choice for those looking for something unusual and new to our market. Vintage Estate Wine and Beer in Boardman held a beer tasting late in April featuring Mad Brewer beers from North Ridgeville, Ohio. A real crowd favorite was the R Lager. This American-style beer is light in color and style. Brisk and somewhat fruity, it should be very popular during our warm summer months. My favorite was the White Storm Imperial Cream Ale. At 11 percent alcohol, this robust brew is creamy in texture with a smooth, sweetish finish that makes it very easy to drink. This is a great brew for those who think they don’t like darker style beers. For someone looking for a hoppy beer, look no further than the Hop Fusion IPA. This is a veritable hop bomb of flavor, with a great finish to boot. I would try this beer with spicy Mexican fare for a change of pace. Upcoming events include May 7, The Upstairs Wine Down Lounge “Brown Bag” (blind) taste; May 14, Wine Styles Summer Wine Taste and May 27, Women Gone Wine; May 16, Vintage Estate Third Saturday wine taste; May 18, Springfield Grille wine taste dinner featuring the Chilean boutique-style wines of JC Import Co. and Carlos Figueroa; June 4, Scacchetti’s Summer Food and Wine Taste.
