Youngstown to host international conference

T

he Youngstown-Warren area will host an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation presummit conference this fall. The conference will be sponsored by the East-West Center.

YSU and the Regional Chamber will host the conference from Sept. 27-29, in conjunction with this year’s APEC summit in November, which the U.S. is hosting in Hawaii.

The conference was secured by Dr. George McCloud, a professor of communications at Youngstown State University, and the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber.

The East-West Center, which was established by Congress in 1960 to promote and educate the ties between the U.S. and the Asia-Pacific region, chose Youngstown to host one of three pre-summit conferences along with Charleston, S.C. and Portland, Ore. The conference will occur at YSU’s new Williamson College of Business Administration. Invited speakers from the EastWest Center will highlight the growing and more interconnected relationship between the U.S. and Asia-Pacific countries.

“We plan on leveraging this event to further entrench our deepening relationships with many Asian companies, Asian countries’ investment agencies and their Midwest Consul Generals,” said Eric Planey, the Regional Chamber’s vice president of International Business Attraction.

“This East-West Conference will only increase our credibility with Asian companies that the Valley and the TechBelt are an ideal location for business investment and global commerce. And to be in the same company with two cities known for their economic development sophistication reinforces our most recent accomplishments,” Planey said.

McCloud, who has been active with the

East-West Center for many years, is enthusiastic about the opportunity to host such a prestigious event for the community. “ About the East-West Center – The EastWest Center, based in Honolulu, Hawaii promotes better relations and understanding among the people and nations of the United States, Asia, and the Pacific through cooperative study, research, and dialogue.

Established by the U.S. Congress in 1960, the Center serves as a resource for information and analysis on critical issues of common concern, bringing people together to exchange views, build expertise, and develop policy options.

The Center is an independent, public, nonprofit organization with funding from the U.S. government, and additional support provided by private agencies, individuals, foundations, corporations, and governments in the region.

YSU delays renovation of Kilcawley Center

Y

oungstown State University will delay plans to renovate Kilcawley Center and instead focus on making improvements to three academic buildings on campus.

“In this time of scarce resources, it is imperative that we direct our attention and funding to areas that are most critical to the academic excellence of the institution and the success of our students,” YSU President Cynthia E. Anderson said.

“Therefore, we are re-directing our efforts to ensure that the university’s academic buildings provide the highest quality learning environment possible.”

The university had planned to start renovations to Kilcawley Center, which serves as YSU’s student center, this spring.

Instead, $10 million in bond funding for that project will be re-allocated for upkeep and improvements of academic buildings.

Three buildings in particular will be targeted: DeBartolo Hall, opened in 1978 and home of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences; Cushwa Hall, opened

in 1976 and home of the Bitonte College of Health and Human Services; and Bliss Hall, opened in 1977 and home of the College of Fine and Performing Arts. Specific improvements to the buildings have yet to be determined.

“Our plan is to defer the Kilcawley Center renovations for three years,” said Jack Fahey, interim vice president for Student Affairs. Fahey said it has become clear the university did not have sufficient funds to properly and fully renovate Kilcawley at this time. That, combined with the growing need for improvements in academic buildings, resulted in the decision to change course.

“While we have completed much planning and devoted much work to the Kilcawley project to this point, it would be unwise to move forward until we have the funds needed to accomplish our goals for the renovation. Although I hate to lose momentum on this project, it is in the best interest of the students and the institution as a whole to step back, honestly re-evaluate and re-allocate the resources to the area of greatest need – and that is the academic buildings on campus,” Fahey said.

Anderson also said that she is committed to reviewing all building and improvement projects to ensure that the greatest areas of need on campus are being addressed.

“We have done a great job over the past several years upgrading the curb appeal of the campus,” Anderson said. “We must now focus on the condition of the interiors of our facilities, and especially our academic buildings.”

The university is also currently in the process of a comprehensive study to improve and expand facilities for the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, now housed in Moser and Ward Beecher halls.

Wean Foundation names Glebocki as president

A

fter a six-month national search, the board of directors of the Warrenbased Raymond John Wean Foundation has named Jeffrey M. Glebocki as its next president.

Glebocki is a Northeast Ohio native. He will be returning to the area, after having lived in Arizona since 2004.

Glebocki said he was interested in the position because he believes he has the right mix of skills to help The Raymond John Wean Foundation continue its work in the Mahoning Valley. His experiences, which include working with small and large organizations, have helped him acquire an important understanding of the role that foundations can play in the overall health of a community, said representatives from Wean.

Gordon Wean, chairman of the board of The Raymond John Wean Foundation, said more than 100 people applied for the position as president of the foundation.

“We were very careful and deliberate in this hiring process. We wanted a person who would be able to build upon the important work that we have already begun in the community,” Wean said. “Jeff Glebocki brings a sensitive and developed understanding of community, leadership, problem-solving, and grant-making.”

Wean said Glebocki’s expertise in capacity building and leadership development initiatives for grass-roots organizations is in sync with the foundation’s priorities and long-range goals. “We believe he is a perfect fit for the position and know he will make great contributions to the Mahoning Valley,” Wean said.

Glebocki commented many of his work experiences carry the common theme of “helping achieve positive outcomes for individuals, organizations and communities.”

Glebocki is founder and principal of Strategy + Action Consulting, LLC based in Tucson, Ariz. He will join The RaySEE MAHONING VALLEY/UPDATE, PAGE 8

Quality, Service and Price Unfortunately, many of these same customers actually believe that they can receive all three from a single purchase. Nothing can be further from the truth.

Every company can deliver ONE of the three, some can offer TWO, but no company can offer all THREE. If you balk at what you perceive to be a high price, remind yourself of this fact by asking: “Would you rather the service or the quality be sacrificed so that the price is lower?

mond John Wean Foundation in July.

In his first months with the Foundation, Glebocki anticipates learning as much as possible about the current issues, concerns and work being done in the Mahoning Valley. “I’ll be listening, asking lots of questions, and meeting with individuals and organizations throughout the region,” Glebocki said of his approach to community engagement.

“My prior experiences have taken me into church basements for neighborhood meetings and into corporate boardrooms for strategy sessions, out to talks with the Farm Bureau and to national conferences with high-level decision makers,” he said.

Glebocki described himself as “hard-wired” to know what strategies and tactics work in communities like the Mahoning Valley.

He also said he is philosophically committed to helping cultivate civic engagement and stewardship. Glebocki said that the key to thriving communities is strong resident engagement, and he wants to work to identify and nurture people who will work for long-term community success. “Taken in whole, I believe that my demonstrated experience is that of a civic steward,” Glebocki said.

Glebocki will be succeeding Joel Ratner, who left The Raymond John Wean Foundation for a position with a Cleveland citywide neighborhood development organization. Glebocki said he looks forward to continuing many of the initiatives that were launched under Ratner’s tenure. Early on in his conversations with the Foundation’s Board, he said: “I have come to admire the bold path and accomplishments of The Raymond John Wean Foundation during my research about this assignment. The thoughtful, pro-active approach the Foundation is taking is producing results and building on the inherent strengths of the Mahoning Valley. It should be looked at as a model for others in philanthropy.”

Ratner said he was pleased with the selection of Glebocki as his successor. “I know Jeff Glebocki’s work and reputation and believe that he will be a strong president for The Raymond John Wean Foundation,” Ratner said. “When I left The Raymond John Wean Foundation for an opportunity in Cleveland it was with a great deal of mixed emotions. I was sad to leave behind the great work that we were doing and the incredible organizations and leaders in the Mahoning Valley. I now feel quite heartened that Jeff Glebocki will be taking over the presidency of The Raymond John Wean Foundation and believe he will carry on and advance the foundation’s critical mission.”

As founder of his own consulting firm, Glebocki has worked with foundations, institutions and nonprofit organizations around the country, including several in Ohio. Much of his work revolved around education grant-making, strengthening philanthropic practices and building organizational capacity. Among his various projects, he has served as a consultant to

METRO MONTHLY | JUNE 2011 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Center on Education Policy, Helios Education Foundation, the Ramsey Executive Education Program at Arizona State University, the Stranahan Foundation, and the Treu-Mart Fellowship Program at Case Western Reserve University.

Glebocki is on the faculty of the Association of Small Foundations, and has co-authored articles published by the National Center for Family Philanthropy, Grantmakers for Education and other organizations.

Prior to launching his consulting enterprise, Glebocki was a program officer with several foundations, including the Virginia Piper Charitable Trust in Scottsdale, Ariz., the George Gund Foundation in Cleveland and the Nord Family Foundation in Elyria.

Before entering the philanthropic field, he served as senior staff to several community based neighborhood economic development organizations in Cleveland.

Glebocki earned a bachelor of arts degree in urban studies from Cleveland State University.

Diocese to close Catholic school in Newton Falls

S

aints Mary and Joseph School in Newton Falls will close at the end of the 2010-11 school year. Declining enrollment in the school for the past several years and the increasing debt of the parish to support the operations of the school were major factors in this decision. Parents were informed of the decision this week.

Ten years ago, the enrollment for the 2000-2001 school year was 207 students. During the 2010-11 school year enrollment was 59 students. Fewer than 50 students enrolled for next year. The debt of the parish is currently in excess of $250,000.

Saint Mary and Joseph School, located at the corner of Maple Drive and Milton Boulevard, was established in 1951 and staffed by the Sisters of Holy Family of Nazareth.

The current building was built in 1966 and named Catholic Elementary School. In 1983, the school was renamed Saints Mary and Joseph for the two parishes in Newton Falls which are now combined. The combined parish of Our Lady of the Lakes (St. James Church in North Jackson and St. Catherine Church in Lake Milton) has also been supporting the school.

Monsignor Robert Siffrin, vicar general of the Diocese of Youngstown said, “It is evident that Saints Mary and Joseph parish community had made extraordinary efforts to support and maintain their school despite declining enrollment.” He added that the priests, religious and dedicated lay women and men who staffed the school over these many years, and the countless families who have entrusted their children to Saint Mary and Joseph, deserve our gratitude and appreciation.

For further information contact Dr. Michael Skube, superintendent, Office of Catholic Schools, 330-744-8451.

owntown Youngstown will be alive with the sights and sounds of Slavic culture on June 18 with the inception of “Simply Slavic” – an open-air, all-day festival celebrating Slavic heritage and traditions.

The idea for the inaugural event was created with a mission to unite the greater Youngstown-area Slavic community, to foster a sense of pride among this ethnic population The event will feature and to educate and connect various food and craft ethnic booths the younger Slavic genand educational ex- erations with hibits.

The event will commence with an interfaith prayer, and the main portion of the festival will be from noon to 8 p.m.

The festival will feature food and craft ethnic booths and educational exhibits.

Alcoholic beverages, including imported Slavic beers and spirits, like vodka and plum brandy will also be sold.

“It’s a combination of the ethnic barns at the Canfield Fair, the food tents and performers of the (Youngstown State University) Summer Festival of the Arts and an ethnic marketplace,” Cika Hershmeyer said.

Music will be a highlight of the event and will include performances by the Del Sinchak Bank and the Mikey Dee Band.

Folk dancers will entertain during breaks.

A “Slavic Disco” will be held after 8 p.m., highlighting modern Slavic dance music and will appeal to the younger generation that may not follow the traditional live folk and polka-style music, Cika Hershmeyer said.

Guests will also be able to showcase their culinary skills with a baking contest that will be judged by professional bakers and community members or business leaders. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place winners.

Ken Shirilla, event director, said Simply Slavic provides an opportunity to reinforce the importance of keeping these rich traditions alive and to educate guests through entertainment.

“If we don’t keep this knowledge alive, then we’re going to lose it,” Shirilla said.

ate April and May always provide a number of great wine and beer events, and this year was right on target. Vintage Estate Beer and Wine held their annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Tap Inâ&#x20AC;? festival, and the Youngstown Grocers Association held a fine charity wine and beer event at Stambaugh Auditorium. Along with these were Springfield Grilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly wine dinner, Wine and Dine Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traveling wine event, and a host of store tastings for every budget.

On April 30, I attended the second annual Big Tap In hosted by Vintage Estate Wine and Beer. If you thought last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fest was big, you should have seen this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. 120 craft brewers and 20 food vendors kept the sold-out crowd happy during the show. This is a fun event for me, because there are always new craft beers to sample and I like to visit my friends at Springfield Grille and Tropeaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fine Pastry.

My first stop was the Willoughby Brewing Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s booth where I tried their Wild Irish Red Ale. Crisp hops and floral-tinged flavors and a bright finish made this a sure winner for upcoming summer afternoons. Rick Seibt, Willoughbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of brewing operations, had another sample for me to try, and it was truly delicious. Their Peanut Butter Cup Coffee Porter is just outstanding.

This porterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name is just dead on for what you get when you taste it. Coffeetinged aromas are entwined with subtle peanut flavors that make this a musthave for the dedicated beer drinker. I plan on going to Willoughby Brewing this summer and trying out their kitchen and beer offerings, so look for a full report later this summer.

My next stop took me to Youngstownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Rust Belt Brewery. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a refreshing beer to slake your thirst after a long afternoon of yard work, give the Blast Furnace Blond Ale a try. This summer seasonal brew is light-bodied with crisp flavors tinged with a hint of hops, and I found it to be very refreshing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank Phill and Sandy Reda for inviting me to their Big Tap In fest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I already look forward to next year.

Salvatoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Italian Grill in Howland hosted Wine and Dine Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly wine taste. More than 60 attendees sampled wines from around the world from Buckeye Beverage distributors, accompanied by a special menu prepared

by Salvatoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Our first wine was the 2009 Cuvee 1749 Sauvignon Blanc

from Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Loire region. Unoaked with bright zippy citrus and grapefruit

By John Webster flavors, it was just the answer for our suggested pairing of tortellini stuffed with ricotta cheese and mushrooms. Our next wine sampled was the 2009 Shannon Ridge Chardonnay from the Lake County district of California. Barrel fermented with upfront citrus and melon flavors, it finishes bright and creamy. The panseared tilapia topped with fresh chopped tomatoes was a nice summery match for the crisp Chardonnay.

For those ordering the center cut Black Angus sirloin, our third wine was very well received. The 2008 South Australian Boxhead Cabernet Sauvignon worked nicely with the juicy sirloin drizzled in chimichurri sauce. Our next red, also from Australia, was the 2008 Alpha Box and Dice Tarot Grenache. Juicy red raspberry flavors and a long spicy finish provided a nice foil for the scrumptious breaded chicken parmigiano. This great wine was previously selling for $19.99, but can now be found under $11.99 at most retail wine stores â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss this chance to stock up.

For dessert, we poured the 2008 Hollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden Pinot Gris from the Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley of Australia. This rare and unique wine is fashioned in an Alsatian Vendage Tardive

style, meaning that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bold and off-dry, with a higher alcohol percentage than you might expect. At 15 percent alcohol, and with a discernibly sweet finish, it was a real hit with the chocolate lava cake with ice cream.

My partner Jim Howe and I would like to thank the Salvatore Coppola family and their great staff for a wonderful evening of wine and food. Our next tasting will be 6:30 p.m. on June 16 at Alberiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant in Niles, and we will be pouring wines from Ortman Vineyards of California.

Australia and New Zealand wines were featured at the Springfield Grilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly dinner taste. Four wines from James Oatleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Australian Tic Tock Vineyards and a New Zealand Pinot Noir from Clifford Bay Vineyards were paired to the Grilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delicious fare. Tic Tockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2009 Mudgee Chardonnay was chosen to go with a shrimp cassoulet (casserole) drizzled in rich Brie cream. The bright citrusy fruit flavors were a fine counterpoint to the creamy shrimp dish.

A delicious salad of citrus-drenched vegetables was presented for the second course. Tic Tockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s juicy 2009 Pinot Grigio from southeastern Australia was chosen to go with this summery salad. Light and refreshing citrus and pear flavors went hand in hand with the crisp, simple salad. Clifford Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2009 New Zealand Pinot Noir

from Marlborough was a perfect match for the Grilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tuna sushi roll. Light bodied with crisp, clean berry flavors, the Clifford Bay Pinot is a good choice for many other Asian-style foods.

Moving back to an Australian Tic Tock wine, we were given a sample glass of their Mudgee Shiraz to go with the main course of smoked beef brisket.

Velvety berry and plum flavors held up nicely to the smoky flavors of the forktender beef brisket. A chocolate soufflĂŠ topped with fresh berries was our final dessert entrĂŠe. Tic Tocâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bold flavorful Cabernet Sauvignon was chosen to complement this tasty dessert. Cabernet and chocolate have an affinity for each other, and this pairing was a classic example.

Gamy dark fruit flavors complemented the smooth chocolate soufflĂŠ.

On May 12, I attended the sixth annual Youngstown Grocersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association wine benefit at Stambaugh Auditorium, sponsored jointly by the Shenango Valley Chamber of Commerce. Food was prepared by Mr. Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Delicious Foods, SEE THE WINE GUY, PAGE 23

METRO MONTHLY | JUNE 2011 THE WINE GUY, FROM PAGE 22

and several wine and beer distributors provided the beverages.

My first stop was at our local Mastropietro Winery to sample one of their new wines.

Owner Dan Mastropietro poured me his Mastromiscela, a tasty blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. It was just delicious with Mr. D’s stuffed rigatoni. My next taste was the Kendall-Jackson Avant 2009 Chardonnay, new to this area.

A delicious blend of Kendall-Jackson’s vast Monterey, Santa Barbara, and Mendocino vineyards, it just oozes crisp citrus flavors with just a hint of oak in the finish.

Two beers I really enjoyed were the Mississippi Mud Black and Tan Porter and Pilsner Ale in a one-quart “growler”-style bottle, and the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. The uniquely-packaged Mississippi

Mud is full-bodied with a robust, malty scent. New to the area, the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale also is richly flavored, finishing with a hint of bourbon on the nose. It should now be available in your local Giant Eagle markets and other beer and wine shops.

I want to thank the Grocers Association and Tri-County Wine’s Tony Galose for inviting me to this fun event.

My first store tasting was Five Points Wine and Bar’s monthly event. With four distributors in attendance and tables of tasty food throughout the bar and restaurant, I started with a glass of 2009 Vevi White from Rueda, Spain ($12.99).

A traditional blend of indigenous Viura and Verdejo grapes, it produces a crisp, light-bodied white with expressive notes of green apple and citrus. Pan-fried Lake Erie walleye would be my choice for this fine Spanish white.

My next pick was the 2009 Lander Jenkins Spirit Hawk Chardonnay ($10.99) from St. Helena, California. Light bodied with upfront citrus flavors, this inexpensive white should do very nicely with summertime fare. My first red pick was the 2009 Friends Red Wine. This tasty blend of Merlot, Zinfandel, Syrah, and Sangiovese will be just perfect for a rack of spicy ribs hot off the grill.

The R Collection Lot No. 3 Cabernet Sauvignon from Raymond Vineyards was my last pick. At the sale price of $12.99 (regularly $18.99), this textbook Cab should be on everyone’s to-buy list for summer dining.

Early in the month, I attended a Wine Styles of Howland tasting, and was surprised to find them pouring J. Lohr’s 2010 Wildflower Red ($11.99) from Monterey County. It’s rare to find a wine made from 100 percent Valdiguie grapes, which produce a vibrant berry-cherry flavored wine similar to a fine French Beaujolais. Lightly chilled, this is a great choice for warm summer nights on the porch.

My next pick was the Summerland Pinot Noir ($19.99 on sale from $24.99) from Santa Barbara, Calif. Light bodied with luscious raspberry and spice-scented fruit flavors, this charming red will only get better with two to three years of cellar-

RESTAURANTS ing. Try it with your favorite salmon dish for a real treat.

On May 14, Elm Road’s Michael Charles Premier Wines held their “second Saturday” taste. Two Italian reds really stood out. The first was the 2009 Ascheri Nirane Dolcetta d’Alba ($15.99) from Italy’s Piedmont region. Light-bodied with vibrant berry flavors, it finishes soft and clean. Try it with prosciutto-wrapped melon slices for a nice summer treat.

My next pick hails from the island of Sicily. The Cataldo 2009 Nero d’Alvola IGT $11.99) offers soft yet rich cherry flavors followed by a clean spice-tinged finish. This is a great change of pace if you’re tired of overblown California Zinfandels.

As busy as Vintage Estate Beer and Wine was with their Big Tap In festival, they also held a great third Saturday taste.

My first pick was the 2009 Mason Cellars Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc ($11.99) from Lake County. Lake County Vineyards produces some of California’s finest wines for the budget-minded, and Mason Cellars Sauvignon Blanc is true to form. Lush lip-smacking citrus flavors and a floral, herb-tinged finish make this a great choice for chicken or fish this summer. If you’re looking for a Cab at under $20, grab yourself a bottle of Bishop’s Peak 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon ($17.99) from Paso Robles, California. Full-bodied with textbook Cabernet fruit flavors, it should go well with your next sirloin hot off the grill.

Mike Lapmardo, owner of Howland’s Charlie’s Premier Wines always comes up with great red wines to try at his weekly Saturday afternoon tastes. I’m a big fan of Cabernet Franc-based wines, and when I tasted the 2007 Two Fourteen ($49.99) from Lang and Reed Winery, I was really taken aback. This special-occasion red had me thinking I was drinking a special cuvee from Chion’s Bernard Baudry’s estate in the French Loire.

Tobacco-tinged cherry fruit flavors give way to a lush mocha-tinged finish that seems to last forever. If you’re looking for a fine upscale California Chardonnay but don’t want to fork over $40 or more, give Red Cars’ 2008 Box Car Chardonnay ($24.99) from the Sonoma Coast a shot.

Concentrated citrus, pear and apple flavors give way to a minerally, butter-tinged finish that is just outstanding. This is outstanding Chardonnay at a very fair price.

Upcoming events include 6:30 p.m., Thursday, June 16, Alberini’s Restaurant in Niles will host Wine and Dine Ohio’s Ortman Vineyards tasting.
