VALLEY UPDATE BBB warning consumers about BlueHippo Funding

Radio host, area residents protest illegal immigration

KBN radio talk show host Dan Rivers has long been a proponent of stopping the influx of illegal immigrants to the United States. This subject has been making headlines in recent months and Rivers took his show on the road with a recent broadcast in Washington, D.C. with a group called “Hold Their Feet to the Fire.” The Clear Channel radio host arranged for the one day bus trip to Washington, D.C. on April 24. A group of approximately 40 local people went on the trip, including this writer. When we arrived at Washington’s Phoenix Park Hotel, there were radio hosts from all over the country promoting “Hold Their Feet to the Fire” campaign. Rivers interviewed people personally affected by the influx of illegal immigrants, including a woman whose daughter was killed by a man who had been deported four times. Roger Hedgecock, a conservative talk radio host and former San Diego mayor who has advocated immigration reform, also spoke. He said the fence along a San Diego border had been effective in reducing illegal immigration to the United States. Rep. Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Republican who has become a vocal figure on illegal immigration, also spoke. He said “Hold Their Feet to the Fire” and the Federation For American Immigration Reform (FAIR) effort consisted of 37 radio talk show hosts from all over the country. Another speaker, Republican presidential hopeful Duncan Hunter, vowed to extend the nation’s border fence by 800 miles, if elected. A press conference concluded the day. While in Washington, D.C., some of the group from Youngstown attempted to contact their elected representatives in Congress but the House of Representatives building was closed. The rest of the afternoon was devoted to sight-seeing. The group left at 6:30 p.m. and returned to Clear Channel studios in Boardman the following day. At press time, a second immigration reform bill was to be voted on in the Senate. If defeated, political observers say the bill will probably not be reconsidered during the remainder of President Bush’s term. – William S. Peyko

he Better Business Bureau serving Columbiana, Mahoning, and Trumbull counties is cautioning consumers across the Mahoning Valley regarding BlueHippo Funding, LLC (BlueHippo), a financial services company offering computers, electronics and other merchandise via a hybrid layaway and installment financing plan aimed at low-income consumers and those with poor credit ratings. The BBB System has logged more than 1,400 complaints from all 50 states against BlueHippo in the past three years. Due to this pattern of complaints and BlueHippo’s failure to correct the underlying causes for the complaints, the company is rated ‘unsatisfactory’ by the BBB System. “More than 65 percent of the complaints against BlueHippo fall into one of three categories; high pressure sales practices, non-delivery of promised merchandise, and unwillingness to provide a refund or exchange,” said, Patricia Rose, president of the BBB. “Basically, consumers tell us they are being sold on a product and payment plan, aren’t getting what they’ve paid for in a timely manner, and have no way to get their money back.” BlueHippo, a Maryland-based company advertising nationally through television, direct mail and the Internet, targets individuals or families with fixed or low incomes, as well as people with little or no credit. It has been reported that prime prospects appear to be families, typically with about a $25,000 per year annual income. Before any merchandise is shipped, BlueHippo requires customers to establish a record of nine consistent payments – usually in the form of an initial deposit followed by weekly payments – all of which are debited directly from consumers’ checking accounts. Along with what appear to be affordable financing offers for well-known brand name computers and other electronic equipment, BlueHippo also entices consumers with promises of free televisions, printers, or other home computer and electronics merchandise. The computers the company finances are generally low-end models, and many consumers allege that due to BlueHippo’s financing payment schedule, they generally pay up to four times more than the computer would actually cost had they bought it in-store. BlueHippo notes that consumers may cancel at any time within the initial nine-

Construction continued in late June on North Side Pool, located at the corner of Belmont Avenue and Tod Lane.

North Side Pool set to reopen later this month

orth Side Pool is scheduled to reopen in late July following construction delays that kept the Youngstown facility closed for nearly two years. Jason T. Whitehead, acting director of the Youngstown Park and Recreation Department, said the $1.1 million construction project is scheduled to be completed on July 27. A.P. O’Horo is general contractor. North Side Pool is set to reopen the week of July 30 and will be operational for three to four weeks this season. The pool will be open seven days a week from 1-8 p.m. Whitehead said fee schedules for North Side Pool are $1 for adults and 50 cents for children. The construction project includes a new L-shaped pool with shallow and week deposit payment period. However, company policy does not allow for refunds, and instead gives customers “credit” to purchase products available on the company’s Web site. As a result of this policy, BBBs are now beginning to receive additional complaints from consumers who never received the merchandise they bought with their store credit. Many complaints to BBBs allege problems in receiving promised merchandise. The BBB isn’t the only organization scru-

deep sections, a separate children’s play area with spray hydrants and daisy wheels, and cosmetic improvements to the bathhouse. The new pool was originally approved by Youngstown City Council and the Park and Recreation Commission, but got delayed for nearly two years due to technical challenges in the pool’s design and construction that required rebidding the project. Whitehead said the construction project was paid for entirely through Youngstown general fund appropriations. Whitehead said the Park and Recreation Commission is planning to offer free swimming lessons for city residents from Aug. 1-15. Call 330-742-8711 for more information. – Mark C. Peyko tinizing BlueHippo’s business practices. A recent settlement reached between the Maryland Attorney General’s office and BlueHippo requires the company to offer restitution to Maryland consumers.

MAHONING VALLEY W Memories oodrow Wilson High School, located on Youngstown’s South Side, will close this summer continuing the restructuring and rebuilding of the city’s school system. Faced with budget deficits, declining enrollment and aging facilities, the Youngstown Board of Education has closed three other city high schools since 1993. Woodrow Wilson High School is scheduled to be razed this summer. A new middle school by the same name will be built on the site. When the new school opens, it will return Wilson to its roots as a middle school. When Wilson opened in 1928, it originally served as a junior high school. Wilson was converted to a high school in 1938. The following passages include recollections by Wilson alumni who share their memories of the high school’s rich history.

Early school memories

oodrow Wilson High School has a long and stellar history from 1928 to the present. Wilson was made ready for occupancy in September, 1928. At the time it took all of the junior classes, except 9A which remained at either Princeton Junior High or South High School. In addition, it [Wilson] had six rooms for grades one through six, which made Wilson have grades one through nine. Wilson also had two classrooms, rooms 301 and 313, for Fresh Air pupils with special needs. The school had 41 faculty members. The following year, however, Bennett School was completed and grades one through six were relocated there. By 1932, there were 200 elementary and 900 junior high students at Wilson and a decision was made to make the facility solely a junior high. In 1936, due to overcrowding at South, Wilson retained the 10th grade and began its evolution toward high-school status. The 1938-39 school year marked Wilson’s transformation to a senior high school. At this time, the school’s enrollment had increased from 900 to 1,551 students. Ground was broken in 1939 for an addition at Wilson that would house trade school-type classes and arts programming. This special-activity unit included automotive; printing; cabinet-making; machine shops; clothing and physical-science laboratories; and rooms for music and arts and crafts. Upon completion, it [Wilson] would serve as a junior-senior high school. Some of the traditions that date to the

Alumni recall years at landmark high school on city’s South Side school’s founding in 1928 continued in the ensuing years. A morning bugle call, for example, announced the raising of the U.S. flag each morning. Wilson also adapted to the demands of modern education. Woodrow Wilson was the first area school to introduce an afternoon-conference period where students and teachers met to discuss questions on the day’s school work. Wilson also was the first local high school to have permanent homeroom for all years of high school. Changes in later years included the addition of seventh grade in the 1950-51 school year and a 1953 wing addition. Other milestones in the school’s history included the dedication of a World War II memorial in 1954 and the 1962 renaming of the school’s teams from “Presidents” to “Redmen.” In 1985, Bernadine Marinelli became the school’s first female principal. – BY OLGA JARONSKI, Class of 1939 in 1939 – BY DEBBIE SMITH, Class of 1968 in 2007

‘Wilson’s Last Stand’

he ‘Wilson’s Last Stand” dinner dance, which was held at Mr. Anthony’s on Friday, May 25, was a huge success. Over 1,100 people attended. Many people were seen smiling, laughing and hugging. Many more wanted to attend, but we had reached our capacity for the hall. The food was delicious and the guests were served quickly with an abundance of food. Del Sinchak’s orchestra played. (He’s a Wilson graduate from the class of ‘53.) D.J. Anthony DeVicchio played records and even sang. (He’s a class of ‘87 graduate.) Two alumni from the first graduating class in 1939 also attended. There were also several alumni present who attended Wilson in the years when it was a junior high. This group included alumni from 1928, 1931 and 1933.

WILSON SCHOOL MEMORIES Being a student at Woodrow Wilson High School in the mid-sixties until graduation in 1970, really were the best years of my life. I don’t know whether it was the era of such phenomenal change in the world, the best rock and roll music ever, the safety we felt in our surroundings, or the care and love in that school. It was probably all the above. I met my future husband, Tom Dorunda, in the school library where I was a student assistant. I later got my master’s degree in Library Science and became a librarian, currently retired. Alas, Tom died two years’ ago. I wore both of our class rings to the walk-through. It was poignant. I had favorite teachers. They were Mr. Cope, Miss Walsh, and Mr. Putko. Sadly, we lost Mr. Putko on June 14, 2007. He was a wonderful biology teacher and we had so much fun in his class. The teachers at Wilson liked their careers and they truly liked their students and cared about them. I think teaching was a calling for them, not just a job. Wilson High we truly love you dearly.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Seeking information on missing 1971 grad DEAR EDITOR, ould you please mention in the “Remembering Wilson” issue of The Metro Monthly my aunt, Joanne E. Coughlin? She graduated in 1971. Since 1974, Joanne has been missing. The class of 1971 was the largest graduating class in Wilson’s history! According to the information I found in the 1970 Orion yearbook, this can be verified. Joanne was Homecoming Queen in 1971. She was a majorette and was also in many productions put on by the drama club. She had many friends and was well-liked by a lot of people. Please help keep awareness of her abduction alive. Maybe someone reading the Metro Monthly’s July issue will have remembered... something. It’s been over 33 years. Any publicity at this point about Joanne and her whereabouts would be gratefully appreciated.

Respectfully,

DEBBIE SECRE STRUTHERS, OHIO Editor’s note: Anyone with any information on the case should call the Youngstown Police Department at 330742-8911.

EDUCATION Agonized pose tells of dinosaur death throes, scientists say T

he peculiar pose of many fossilized dinosaurs, with wide-open mouth, head thrown back and recurved tail, likely resulted from the agonized death throes typical of brain damage and asphyxiation, according to two paleontologists. A classic example of the posture, which has puzzled paleontologists for ages, is the 150 million-year-old Archaeopteryx, the first-known example of a feathered dinosaur and the proposed link between dinosaurs and present-day birds. “Virtually all articulated specimens of Archaeopteryx are in this posture, exhibiting a classic pose of head thrown back, jaws open, back and tail reflexed backward and limbs contracted,” said Kevin Padian, professor of integrative biology and curator in the Museum of Paleontology at the University of California, Berkeley. He and Cynthia Marshall Faux of the Museum of the Rockies published their findings in the March issue of the quarterly journal Paleobiology, which appeared in mid-June. Dinosaurs and their relatives, ranging from the flying pterosaurs to Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as many early mammals, have been found exhibiting this posture. The explanation usually given by paleontologists is that the dinosaurs died in water and the currents drifted the bones into that position, or that rigor mortis or drying muscles, tendons and ligaments contorted the limbs. “I’m reading this in the literature and thinking, “This doesn’t make any sense to me as a veterinarian,’” said lead author Faux (pronounced fox), a veterinarianturned-paleontologist who also is a curatorial affiliate with Yale University’s Peabody Museum. “Paleontologists aren’t around sick and dying animals the way a veterinarian is, where you see this posture all the time in disease processes, in strychnine cases, in animals hit by a car or in some sort of extremis.” Faux and Padian argue in Paleobiology that the dinosaurs died in this posture as a result of damage to the central nervous system. In fact, the posture is well known to neurologists as opisthotonus and is due to damage to the brain’s cerebellum. In humans and animals, cerebellar damage can result from suffocation, meningitis, tetanus or poisoning, and typically accompanies a long, slow death. Some animals found in this posture may have suffocated in an ash fall during a volcanic eruption, consistent with the fact that many fossils are found in ash deposits, Faux and Padian said. But many other possibilities exist, including disease, brain trauma, severe bleeding, thiamine

Animals with lower metabolic rates, such as crocodiles and lizards, use less oxygen and so might have been less traumatically affected by hypoxia during death throes, Padian said. Padian acknowledged that many dinosaur fossils show signs that the animal died in water and the current tugged the body into an arched position, but currents cannot explain all the characteristics of an opisthotonic pose. By studying a large number of fully articulated fossil skeletons, he and Faux were able to distinguish animals that underwent post-mortem water transport, a non-biological or abiotic process, from those with the classic “dead-bird” posture, which they interpret to be the result of biological processes.

Faux, who also works as a disaster veterinarian from her home in Lewiston, Idaho, set out to test other post-mortem processes – rigor mortis, which is the temporary stiffening of muscles after death; and the drying of muscles, tendons and ligaments – that some paleontologists credit with creating the opisthotonic posture. “In horses and smaller animals, rigor mortis sets in within a couple of hours, so I just looked to see if they were moving or not,” Faux said. “And they weren’t moving. They were staying in whatever position I’d left them in. I thought, ‘If birds aren’t doing it, and I’d never observed a horse doing it, then why would dinosaurs be doing it?’” Padian pointed out, too, that all opisthotonic dinosaurs are very well preserved, meaning they evidently did not sit out in the open for long, or scavengers would have quickly scattered the bones. So, he wondered, how could they have been exposed long enough to dry out? The only explanation that makes sense, they concluded, is central nervous system damage. The cerebellum is responsible for fine muscle movement, controlling, for example, the body’s antigravity muscles that keep the head upright. Once the cerebellum ceases to modulate the behavior of the antigravity muscles, Faux said, the muscles pull at full force, tipping the head and tail back, contracting the limbs and opening the mouth. Padian and Faux urge reanalysis of many fossil finds, referring, for example, to a mass death uncovered in Nebraska in the early 20th century. They argue that cerebellar dysfunction explains the opisthotonic posture of the numerous camel-like fossils better than does the common explanation - that the animals died in a stream and were washed into an eddy or backwater.

irst Place Bank Community Foundation has donated $500,000 to Youngstown State University’s Centennial Capital Campaign to help construct a new building for the Williamson College of Business Administration. The First Place Community Foundation was established to assist with local economic development, charitable needs and education. It’s the largest corporate gift to the Centennial Capital Campaign to date. “First Place Bank’s long-standing, generous support of YSU reflects the bank’s commitment to the university, Youngstown and the entire Mahoning Valley,” said David C. Sweet, YSU president. The gift will go toward the construction of a new $30 million building for YSU’s business college. The state-of-the-art facility will be located between the YSU campus and downtown Youngstown, connecting the university and the community. “First Place is committed to investing in Youngstown State University, the renaissance of the city of Youngstown and the people of the Mahoning Valley. This is our home, where we live and work, and we are committed to sustaining and improving the quality of life for everyone here in the Valley,” said Steven R. Lewis, chief executive officer of First Place Bank. Over the past nine years, First Place Bank has contributed over $200,000 to YSU. These funds have been allocated to the following projects: the Andrews Student Recreation and Wellness Center, the Northeast Ohio Robotics Competition, the Mahoning River Education Project, the Rich Center for Autism, student scholarships, the YSU Sponsorship Program, Homework Express and Run with the Penguins. The partnership between First Place Bank and YSU has produced several directors and members of the First Place management team: Don Cagigas, a 1963 YSU graduate and a member of the YSU Board of Trustees, is a member of the First Place Bank Board of Directors; Ronald Volpe, YSU professor of accounting and finance, and YSU graduates Tom Humphries and Robert Wagmiller are also members of the bank’s board; Dave Jenkins, executive director of the First Place Bank Community Foundation, is a 1973 YSU graduate. In addition, 81 of the bank’s employees are alumni or are currently attending YSU. “First Place Bank’s gift is an important investment in the Williamson College of Business Administration and our community,” said Betty Jo Licata, dean of the college. “We are grateful for their generosity and look forward to their continued involvement in the college and the education of our students.” The gift is part of YSU’s $43 million Centennial Capital Campaign. The fiveyear campaign, tied to YSU’s centennial in 2008, is the largest in the university’s history and is a partnership between YSU and The YSU Foundation. The gift from First Place brings the total raised to $30 million.

une began with a trip to Cleveland for a tasting at the German Der Braumeister restaurant at 13040 Lorain Ave., and I found the destination to be well worth the trip. The wines of Rainer Lingenfelder from Germany’s Phalz region were featured at this tasting, with the winemaker himself in attendance. The Der Braumeister provided a sumptuous appetizer tray of fruits, cheeses, smoked salmon and desserts for each individual taster. Rainer Lingenfelder showcased his “Vineyard Creature” line of wines, consisting of six different wines including Pinot Grigio, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Moselriesling, Moriomuscat (whites) and Dornfelder (red). Each wine has a corresponding “vineyard creature” graphic on the label to help easily identify the different varieties. All of Lingenfelder’s wines were very nicely done and it was hard to pick a favorite – but I’ll try. The “Hare” Gewurztraminer was simply delicious. Gobs of spicy fruit flavors and a crisp finish paired well with the Der Braumeister’s cheese and fruit selections. The “Bird” Riesling with just 1.8 percent residual sugar also went nicely with fruit and cheese offerings, but would also be fine all by itself. Lightly chilled, it should be just the answer for warm summer afternoons. The Fox label Dornfelder red is very fruitforward, but finishes dry. Grilled pork loin would match very well with this fine German red. This series of wines focuses on the pure expression of the vineyards they originate from, without interference or alteration of what would be naturally produced in that particular vineyard. Lingenfelder takes a hands-off approach to winemaking—no fining, no stabilization, no cultured yeasts, no bacterial addition to reduce acidity (malolactic fermentation). This philosophy of winemaking is very bold and it shows in the finished product. I recently stopped at the Havana House in Niles for their Friday night flight of wines (Fridays from 7-10 p.m.). The week I visited, they featured the wines of Ridge Vineyards and Raymond Vineyards. Two Chardonnays were presented, the 2005 Santa Cruz Mountains Estate Chardonnay from Ridge Vineyards, and the Raymond Eloquence Chardonnay dessert

including a 2002 Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet/Merlot blend, 2005 Three Valleys Zinfandel, and a 2003 Independence School Zinfandel. I am predominantly a red wine drinker, but the two Chardonnays at this affair stole the show. The Ridge Santa Cruz Estate Chardonnay was simply perfect. Textbook Chardonnay fruit flavors followed by a long creamy vanilla finish made this one of the best Chardonnays I’ve tried this year. The Raymond Eloquence late harvest Chardonnay was in a class all by itself. Sweet fruit flavors and a long, long, nutty finish is this dessert wine’s calling card. Lightly chilled, this would be the perfect after-dinner wine during our sultry summer. Another stop took me back to one of my favorite destinations, the Springfield Grille in Boardman for their monthly wine dinner. This time, they presented selections from the Taft Street Winery and DeRose Winery. The first course of crusted buffalo mozzarella over field greens was paired to the Taft

and melon flavors of this Sonoma wine were a natural match for the mozzarella. The Taft Street 2005 Sonoma Pinot Noir with its lively acidity and earthy fruit flavors was perfect with the Springfield’s wild mushroom ravioli. For a change of pace, the second course had the Taft Street 2005 Russian River Chardonnay

paired with blood orange sorbet. I salute the Springfield staff for this very European dinner approach, for the pairing was a match made in heaven. The creamy finish of this wine meshed perfectly with the lively sorbet. The fourth course of grilled medallions of veal was served with the Taft Street 2003 Dry Creek Cabernet Sauvignon. The dark cherry fruit flavors of this Cabernet complemented the wild cherry demi-glace of this dish. The final course matched the DeRose Hollywood Zinfandel to a chocolate “beggar’s purse” SEE WINE GUY, PAGE 19

WINE GUY, FROM PAGE 18

The Vila Regia 2004 ($8.99) from the Douro region of Portugal is a blend of Bastardo, Touriga Francesca, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Roriz grapes. It’s mind-boggling that anyone produces such a rich-tasting red at this price. It’s a great wine for summer barbecues and cookouts. dessert. This rich red Zin with oodles of brambly fruit flavors performed nicely with the rich chocolatey dessert. Moving along to last month’s store tastings, I found two wines at the Michael Charles store to be very engaging. The Raymond Estate “R” Collection 2005 Chardonnay from Napa Valley ($11.99)

is quite a mouthful of wine. Pineapple and citrusy fruit flavors lead to a toasty finish that goes on forever. The Vila Regia 2004 ($8.99) from the Douro region of Portugal is a blend of Bastardo, Touriga Francesca, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Roriz grapes. It’s mind-boggling that anyone produces such a rich-tasting red at this price. It’s a great wine for summer barbecues and cookouts. On my visit to the Vintage Estate Wine and Beer tasting in Boardman, the Morgan “Cotes” du Crows 2005 ($14.99) from Monterey County, Calif. caught my eye. A 50-50 blend of Syrah and Grenache, this Rhone-style blend is simply great. Soft tannins and loads of red fruit flavors make this a great drinking wine, enjoyable upon release. My next selection is the Pieque Bierzo 2005 Tinto Mencia ($12.99) from Spain. Very refined with supple fruit flavors, it’s an easy wine to like. This Spanish red is quite a bargain and would match well with grilled steak or pork loin. My final wine destination last month took me to the Wine Down Thursday night weekly flight tasting in Austintown. Let’s start off with the Mumms Napa Cuvee “M” sparkling wine. This is a great bubbly for summer get-togethers. Luscious fruit flavors are married to a long finish of biscuity ripe peach and vanilla. For lovers of Loire Sauvignon Blanc, the Mikael Bouges Touraine 2005 Sauvignon Pente de Chavigny should be the answer to your prayers.

This is pure fresh-tasting Loire Sauvignon at its best. Laser-like fruit flavors and not a hint of oak make this a great Loire for warm summer nights on your patio. Also, by the same producer, the 2005 Touraine Cot Les Haut DeCot Malbec is a light- to medium-bodied red that offers lots of dark fruit flavors and a crisp silky finish. My final selection was the Cantine Caputo La Cryma Christi 2003 Del Vesuvio D.O.C.

from southern Italy. This red is a blend of indigenous Piedirossa and Olivella grapes. Full-bodied with lots of supple red fruit flavors followed by a long silky finish, this red would be just the ticket for a New York strip steak topped with Gorgonzola cheese. I hope my readers are enjoying the summer and taking time to sip a great wine or two as the perfect refreshment at a barbecue or an evening with your neighbors on the patio.
