We’re sure that our patrons will be enthusiastic about the new operators, as well.” “Twenty years ago, no one used the words food and library together,” Pete Kohler said. But bringing these elements together has become an important part of today’s libraries in Mahoning County. Library users in Poland and Austintown have become accustomed to enjoying lunch and a latte as they stop by to pick up books and library materials. TBC will bring in new tables and chairs, a comfortable seating area and splashes of color to give the area a fresh look. Their new menu will include items such as panini sandwiches, salads, soups, pastries, bagels, muffins, and chicken tenders, fries and hot dogs for children. And coffee will be front and center. Literally. TBC has an automatic espresso machine which will be the first thing customers see as they approach the café. The barista is an important part of their café experience and the Kohlers said they enjoy getting to know their customers.

COMMUNITY JOURNAL Ryan secures $1.6 million for YSU Metrology Center

.S. Rep. Tim Ryan announced in late February a $1.6 million federal direct appropriation to establish a National Defense Center of Excellence in Industrial Metrology and 3D Imaging headquartered at Youngstown State University. The center, funded by the U.S. Department of Defense Army Research Lab, will focus on developing and improving advanced manufacturing technologies for military and commercial uses that could have widespread economic impact across the Northeast Ohio region and throughout the United States. “The work and research that will be done here at Youngstown State University as a result of this funding will be among the most advanced in the country,” Ryan said at a Feb. 20 news conference on the YSU campus. “This brings our university, our local high technology firms and our manufacturing base into a dynamic affiliation that will help make certain the economic future of the Mahoning Valley.” The Center is the result of an ongoing partnership of YSU, M*7 Technologies in Youngstown, the Youngstown Business Incubator, Zethus Software LLC in Youngstown, the Ohio Supercomputer Center’s Blue Collar Computer Program in Columbus, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Md., and is an outgrowth of the Advanced Manufacturing Initiative jointly sponsored by YSU, YBI and Ryan’s office. “This project represents the synthesis of academics and industry, joining forces to help transform the Mahoning Valley,” YSU President David C. Sweet said. “It is upon these kinds of partnerships, with the leadership of Congressman Ryan, that the region’s economic future rests.” Metrology is the science of measurement, traditionally performed using tools such as tape measures and calipers. But more advanced instruments, such as three-dimensional imaging, allows for much faster, more complete measuring of complex shapes for industrial applications. “As manufacturing becomes increasingly complex, it is ever more important that we can measure parts and design tools accurate to the nanometer scale,” said Martin Abraham, dean of the YSU College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. “This technology will allow firms that have traditionally made the things on which society relies to transition to 21st century manufacturing, retaining jobs in the Mahoning Valley and creating new opportunities in new clusters such as alternative energy.”

Shanna Sallmen (left) of the YSU Development Office and Paul McFadden, chief development officer at YSU, met with the Woodrow Wilson High School Alumni Committee in late February to discuss the potential for a legacy scholarship. The group discussed a variety of issues related to the development of a Wilson scholarship fund.

The new center at YSU, led by chemistry Professor Allen Hunter and a team from YSU’s STEM College, is designed to carry out research, development and commercialization activities in these advanced technologies. “The goal is to leverage the resources of a deeply integrated partnership that includes YSU’s STEM College, regional companies, and external research and development organizations, so that intellectual property is not just created but, more importantly, is translated into new commercial products and services, thus creating new high-paying jobs in the Mahoning Valley and across Ohio,” Hunter said. Over the past five years, Ryan’s long term efforts to support the creation of a technology corridor with Youngstown at its center has helped secure more than $10 million in federal appropriations for YSU, including funding for the YSU Center for Transportation and Materials Engineering

and the YSU CyberEnabled Industrial Innovation Center.

Chapters Cafes to reopen March 7; TBC to manage

hat’s it like running a café? Easy as TB-C. Just ask Joyce and Pete Kohler, owners of the TBC Coffee Company and upcoming proprietors of the Chapters cafes in the Poland and Austintown libraries. The Kohlers will open for business as “TBC at Chapters” in the Poland and Austintown branches beginning March 7. The couple most recently ran a coffeehouse located on Clingan Road in Poland. When the opportunity arose to operate the cafes in the libraries, the idea appealed to them. “We love reading and we love good coffee and good food,” Joyce Kohler said. “What could be a better combination?” Carlton A.

Harry and David donates fruit to Second Harvest

econd Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley received approximately 30,000 pounds of fresh fruit from Harry and David. The donation includes pears, oranges and gourmet gift baskets comprised of fruit, nuts, cheese and candies. The Food Bank was set to distribute 9,000 pounds of this donation on Feb. 19, 2009 at The Concern located at 125 West Ohio Ave. in Sebring. “We are extremely grateful to Harry and David for this generous donation,” said Rebecca Martinez, director of Resource Development. “Fresh produce is essential to proper nutrition and is often cost prohibitive for struggling families.”

Cancer Society urges tests for colorectal cancer

olorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. National colorectal cancer awareness month is in March and the American Cancer Society is encouraging Americans to get lifesaving screening tests that have proven to reduce the risk of dying from this type of cancer. According to the recent Annual Report to the Nation on cancer, progress continues to be made in the fight against colorectal cancer (commonly referred to as colon cancer), with incidence and mortality rates continuing to decline due in part to an increase in screening. From 1998 to 2005, colon cancer incidence dropped by 2.8 percent per year in men and 2.2 percent per year in women. Deaths rates have fallen by 4.3 percent in both men and women from 2002 to 2005. The American Cancer Society recommends routine screening for men and women starting at age 50. Earlier testing may be necessary for those at higher than average risk. Regularly scheduled screenings can not only detect cancer at an early and more treatable stage, but can also prevent cancer from developing

VALLEY UPDATE by removing precancerous polyps before they become cancerous. Despite evidence showing colorectal screening can save lives, only about half of the U.S. population age 50 and older has been tested recently for colon cancer. Reasons for not being screened include lack of access to affordable health care and physicians are not recommending screenings when they should. Other barriers include lack of knowledge about the importance of screening, the benefit of treating colon cancer when detected early and available testing options. Screening is critical since more than half of all colon cancer deaths could be prevented if people received one of the tests that are currently available. “Colorectal cancer is a type of cancer that could be detected and treated through regular testing,” said Al Stabilito, the Northeast Ohio Public Relations Director of the American Cancer Society. “The declines in incidence and mortality from colorectal cancer can be attributed to prevention and early detection of the disease. Screenings and increasingly effective treatment are saving lives.” In March 2008, the American Cancer Society, along with the American College of Radiology and the U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer released the first-ever consensus guidelines for colorectal screening. The guidelines now include two new tests – stool DNA and CT colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy. The guidelines also for the first time indicate a preference for screening tests that can not only detect cancer early, but also detect precancerous polyps before they turn cancerous. One major barrier that prevents some from getting a colon cancer screening is lack of health insurance. Many studies show that people who are uninsured are substantially less likely to be screened for colon cancer. Nearly half (48.3 percent) of men and women ages 50 to 64 with private insurance had a recommended colon cancer screening test in the past 10 years. Yet, only one in five (18.8 percent) of those who lacked insurance received a recommended screening. In addition, insurance status strongly influences survival among those diagnosed with colon cancer. Individuals with private insurance who are diagnosed with Stage II colon cancer have better survival outcomes than individuals who are uninsured or receive Medicaid and are diagnosed earlier with Stage I colon cancer. Studies also show that high levels of physical activity may cut the risk of colon cancer in half. The American Cancer Society recommends engaging in moderate activity for at least 30 minutes a day on five or more days per week. Also, substituting high consumption of red and processed meat with a healthy diet rich in plant sources, whole grains and five or more servings of fruits and vegetables can reduce a person’s risk of colorectal and other forms of cancer. Age remains the most important risk factor for colon cancer. Risk increases with age. More than 90 percent of the cases are diagnosed in individuals age 50 and older.

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH 2009

Hall of Fame to honor Schwebel’s founder BY NATALIE LARICCIA

Dora Schwebel’s legacy will be commemorated with her induction into the Baking Hall of Fame during the American Baking Society’s 2009 Baking Tech Conference March 1-4 in Chicago.

SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY

rom the familiar yellow plastic bags adorned with a smiling clown face, to the appetizing aroma of fresh bread that permeates Midlothian Boulevard, near the Youngstown-Struthers border, Schwebel’s Bakery stands as a symbol of Youngstown’s history. But the nearly 103-year-old, familyowned bakery represents much more than a long-standing Youngstown baking icon. Schwebel’s is a direct result of the courage and perseverance of one widow who refused to quit. Even through some of the most devastating personal and economic circumstances and during an era when women were not typically running businesses and raising families, Dora Schwebel never stopped believing that her company would rise and prosper to become one of the most recognized bakeries in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. And, just in time for Women’s History Month, Dora Schwebel’s legacy will be commemorated with her induction into the Baking Hall of Fame during the American Baking Society’s 2009 Baking Tech Conference March 1-4 in Chicago. Although Dora is deceased, some of Dora’s relatives, including Lee Schwebel, Dora’s great grandson and Schwebel’s director of corporate communications, will attend the ceremony. Lee Schwebel never had the opportunity to meet Dora – he was just one year old when she died – but he is familiar with the many endearing stories about his grandmother and has helped gather a vast collection of photographs, newspaper articles, advertisements, memorabilia and audio recordings that memorialize Dora and the bakery. “She had the heart of Mother Theresa, but she was tough. I never knew her, but I was obviously influenced by her legacy as it’s been passed down from generation to generation,” Lee Schwebel said. The story of Schwebel’s bakery began in the small kitchen of Dora’s Campbell home that she shared with her husband, Joseph Schwebel. A young Polish immigrant, Joseph arrived in America in 1898, and married Dora – then 19-years-old – in 1906. Fresh from the experience of losing just about everything from his initial baking business, Dora suggested to her

husband that she should be his new business partner. Within eight years of baking their first loaf in 1906, Schwebel’s was serving a growing number of small grocery stores, and in 1923, the Schwebels spent $25,000 to open a small bakery on Lawrence Avenue that produced 1,000 loaves a day. Tough times ensued when Joseph suddenly died of appendicitis, leaving Dora a widow raising six young children, as well

as managing the bakery. Friends and family encouraged her to sell the bakery and focus on raising her family, but Dora refused. In 1929, she faced more hardship when the stock market crashed and the business lost nearly all its investments, leaving Dora without cash to pay the local miller that supplied it with flour. But Dora was determined to maintain her business and convinced the flour companies to extend credit to continue operations.

The Great Depression followed, and while the economy floundered, Schwebel’s flourished, opening a new bakery in 1936. The company’s still-current mascot, Happy the Clown, was introduced as a symbol of hope and optimism during this otherwise bleak time. Dora also helped served the hungry and poor in the community by distributing loaves to those in need, Lee Schwebel said. In 1951, Schwebel’s opened its “Million Dollar Bakery” at its current location on Midlothian Boulevard, which serves as the company headquarters. Dora remained an active fixture in the company’s operations until she died in 1964. Today, Schwebel’s continues to prosper, employing about 1,400 workers at its four baking facilities and 30 distribution centers across Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia. Lee Schwebel, who joined the company in 1995, recalls a fond memory when he heard Dora’s voice for the first time after stumbling across an old record of a WKBN radio broadcast that featured Schwebel’s history and Dora’s efforts. “It was like opening up a treasure chest. It was very emotional,” he said. “It gives us a much better understanding of the times, hearing her voice. If Dora didn’t persevere and demand that we (Schwebel’s) continue we wouldn’t be here . . . it’s that simple.” Joe Schwebel, Schwebel’s president, recalled a fond memory of joining Schwebel’s in 1960 as a rather “full of himself ” college graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Although Joe Schwebel, who is Dora’s grandson and Lee’s father, may have expected to have a more prestigious office Job, Dora put him to work on early morning shifts, learning the company’s 39 wholesale delivery routes. “The moral of the story is that I learned more about business riding those 39 routes than I learned in four years of college . . . I think she (Dora) still inspires us today. Her presence was so strong,” Joe Schwebel said.

Ohio insurance agency educates, polices market

Mahoning property tax due March 13

hio Department of Insurance Director Mary Jo Hudson is using National Consumer Protection Week, March 1-7, to remind Ohioans of the Department’s commitment to advocate on their behalf and encourage them to utilize the many services the agency provides. “The Ohio Department of Insurance remains steadfast to its mission of protecting Ohio insurance consumers by closely monitoring the financial stability of insurance companies, combating insurance fraud, and by providing educational assistance and information,” Director Hudson said. Last year, the Department received about 115,000 telephone calls to its consumer hotline, 1-800-686-1526, and received close to 6,900 complaints from consumers about agents and companies. The Department recovered $9.7 million, through such means as claim decision reversals, on behalf of Ohioans. The Department’s Consumer Affairs division, which includes the Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP), handles consumer inquiries about all insurance and reviews consumer complaints. OSHIIP helps people understand Medicare and has a dynamic outreach presence. It annually holds Medicare Check-up Days in every Ohio county. The Fraud and Enforcement units investigate allegations of suspected fraud committed by consumers and healthcare providers as well as allegations of agent misconduct. In 2008, the units revoked 109 agent licenses and referred 125 consumer fraud cases for prosecution. A total of 47 people were convicted, including those in a $2.5 million theft and fraud ring. Special initiatives are under way to further inform and protect Ohio’s insurance consumers, Hudson said. The agency is reaching out to people who have lost their health and life insurance during difficult economic times, and cautioning Ohioans against general contractors who commit insurance fraud while making home repairs due to severe storm damage. OSHIIP outreach and other events are being used to educate people about increasing predatory sales associated with certain Medicare products, annuities and Stranger Originated Life Insurance (STOLI).

ahoning County property owners should have received their first-half real estate tax bills in the mail. The mailing of tax bills began on Feb. 12 for about 166,000 parcels of property.

This hands-on workshop will afford participants the chance to learn about, discuss and even create those items long associated with the celebration of Lent and Easter. “This is an excellent opportunity to reawaken memories of Lents and Easters past,” says Kozlowski, describing his experience growing up in Pittsburgh’s Polish Hill neighborhood as one full of traditions for every holiday. “I look back and remember decorating eggs and making straw sculptures with my mother and grandmother and it still fills me with a childlike joy. “That is why I try to spend time teaching these ancient customs to others so that they can pass them on to their families and the traditions will not be lost.” The program will offer demonstrations as well as hands-on opportunities in the following traditional areas: Pisanki, wax-decorated eggs; Palmowa tkania, Palm Weaving; and Wycinanki, decorative paper cuttings.

“America the Beautiful” reveals the secrets, harsh realities, and deadly risks in the quest for physical perfection. the story of Gerren Taylor, a teenager who goes from innocent 12-year old girl to one of America’s next top supermodels. As she and her mother travel the road to stardom, viewers watch the dichotomy between Gerren’s adolescent struggles and her adult “rights of passage” on the catwalks of Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger and other top designers. Her tumultuous quest acts as

a mirror to the American psyche, and it becomes apparent how the same beauty that could jump-start her career could ultimately destroy her young life. The audience follows Roberts as he asks celebrities and experts the question at hand: Does America have an unhealthy obsession with beauty? The event is free and open to the public. Space is limited.

Keplinger’s presentation focuses on his art and working past the limitations of the cerebral palsy that has affected him since birth. “At a glance, my work seems to be about my perception of society and how I overcome it,” Keplinger said. “I include images of my wheelchair because it is my main mode of conveyance and a major part of my daily life, but these pieces are about much more than my disability.” “Obstacles and challenges are a universal part of the human condition,” he added. “We all face them in everyday life, however, we also have a choice as to how we deal with them. Many of us are likely to get discouraged during difficult times in our lives. In my work I hope to show everybody that they have the ability to persevere.” When he was 10 years old, he was one of the subjects of the documentary “Beginning with Bang.” As an adult, he wrote and was the subject of the documentary “King Gimp,” which won both an Oscar and a Peabody Award. King Gimp will be shown as part of Keplinger’s presentation, followed by a period for questions.

Catholic Charities plans series on grief

Only three out of 10 Americans are active enough to stay healthy and fit.

Exercise, your option

Regular physical activity dramatically improves quality of life FROM THE HARVARD HEALTH LETTER

he numbers are shocking. Just three out 10 American adults are active enough to stay healthy and fit. Nearly four out of 10 admit they aren’t active at all, despite reams of research proving that exercise is a powerful preventive, and sometimes an antidote, for disability and illness. Which side of this divide are you standing on – and why? Regular physical activity makes an enormous difference to the quality and length of your life, a fact underscored by hundreds of solid studies. In a nutshell, exercise does the following: ◆ Lessens the likelihood of getting heart disease, the No. 1 killer of Americans. How? Exercising regularly may bump up the number of blood vessels feeding the heart, help prevent plaque buildup by striking a healthier balance of blood lipids (HDL, LDL, and triglycerides), and help arteries retain resilience despite the effects of aging. Even if you already have heart disease, exercise lowers your chances of dying from it. ◆ Lowers blood pressure, a boon for many body systems. Long-term hypertension (high blood pressure) doubles or triples the odds of developing heart failure and helps pave the path to other kinds of heart disease, stroke, aortic aneurysm, and kidney disease or failure. ◆ Helps prevent diabetes by paring off excess weight, modestly lowering blood sugar

levels, and boosting sensitivity to insulin so that your body needs less of it. If you have diabetes, exercise helps control blood sugar. ◆ Reduces risk for developing cancers of the colon, breast, endometrium (uterine lining), and prostate. By helping you attain a healthy weight, exercise also lessens your risk for other cancers in which obesity is a factor. ◆ Helps shore up bones, which reach peak density and strength during the first three decades of life. Over time, bones become lacier and weaker as density slips away. When combined with calcium, vitamin D, and bone-saving medications if necessary, weight-bearing exercise like walking, running, and strength training helps ward off bone loss. And balance-enhancing activities, including tai chi and yoga, help prevent falls that may end in fractures. ◆ Helps protect joints by easing swelling, pain, and fatigue and by keeping cartilage healthy. Strong muscles support joints and lighten the load upon them. Activities that boost flexibility, such as stretching, yoga, and tai chi, extend range of motion. May limit and even reverse knee problems by helping to control weight—a big deal, since for every step taken, each additional pound of body weight translates to four additional pounds of load on the knee, according to the Arthritis Foundation. ◆ Lifts spirits by releasing mood-elevating hormones, relieving stress, and promoting a

sense of well-being. In some studies, exercising regularly has helped ease mild to moderate depression as effectively as medications; combining exercise with medications, therapy, and social engagement is even better. ◆ May boost your ability to fend off infection, as shown in three randomized trials of women who walked briskly 35 to 45 minutes a day, five days a week for 12 to 15 weeks, and experienced half the cold symptoms of a sedentary group. Additional research shows exercise prompts a modest, short-term upswing in natural killer cells and white blood cells, which help squelch infection. ◆ Adds years to your life. In the longrunning Framingham Heart Study, moderate activity tacked on 1.3 years of life for men and 1.5 years of life for women versus low activity. Raising the bar to high activity added 3.7 years for men and 3.5 years for women. Even current couch potatoes can’t wiggle out of this. A separate long-term study of 10,000 men ages 20 to 82, who were examined and given two fitness tests at five-year intervals, found those who made the effort to shift status from unfit to fit cut their likelihood of dying by 44 percent compared with those who stayed sedentary. © 2009 by Harvard University.

HEALTH WATCH FDA issues health advisory on psoriasis drug Raptiva

he U.S. Food and Drug Administration in late February issued a public health advisory concerning three confirmed, and one possible report of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare brain infection, in patients using the psoriasis drug Raptiva (efalizumab). Three of those patients have died. All four patients were treated with the drug for more than three years. None of the patients were receiving other treatments that suppress the immune system. The FDA is reviewing this latest information. The The U.S. Food and agency will take appropriDrug Administration issued a public ate steps to: ensure that the risks of Raptiva do not health advisory outweigh its benefits; that concerning three confirmed, and one patients prescribed Rappossible report of a tiva are clearly informed rare brain infection of the signs and symptoms of PML; and that health in patients using care professionals carethe psoriasis drug fully monitor patients for Raptiva. the possible development of PML. PML is caused by a virus that affects the central nervous system. PML usually occurs in people whose immune systems have been severely weakened. It leads to an irreversible decline in neurologic function and death. Symptoms may include unusual weakness, loss of coordination, changes in vision, difficulty speaking and personality changes. There is no known effective prevention or treatment. Psoriasis is a chronic disease, for which a number of effective therapeutic options are available, including four other approved biologic agents, ultraviolent light therapy, and the drugs cyclosporine, acitretin, and methotrexate. Generally, treatment for psoriasis patients involves a rotation of therapies. In October 2008, the product labeling for Raptiva was revised to highlight in a boxed warning the risks of life-threatening infections, including PML. At that time, the FDA directed Genentech, the manufacturer, to develop a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) to include a medication guide to educate patients about the drug’s risks. The FDA strongly recommends that health care professionals carefully monitor patients on Raptiva, as well as those who have discontinued the drug, for any signs or symptoms of neurologic disease, and that they periodically reassess the benefits of continued treatment. Patients should be aware of the symptoms of PML and contact their health care professionals immediately if they experience any such symptoms. Raptiva is a once-weekly injection approved for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic (whole body) therapy or phototherapy. The drug works by suppressing T-cells (blood cells that help fight infection) in the immune system. These cells, when activated, migrate to the skin and cause inflammation which results in the red, inflamed and scaly patches of skin, which is associated with psoriasis. By suppressing T-cells, Raptiva decreases the function of the immune system which increases a patient’s susceptibility to infections. Health care professionals and consumers may report serious adverse events (side effects) or product quality problems with the use of this product to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online, by regular mail, fax or phone.

Scholarship benefit honors legacy of Richard Alberini F

ebruary may be our shortest and coldest month, but it provided many hot wine and beer events for those who were able to attend. So much was going on late in the month that I’ll have to save some events for next month. On Feb. 19, I attended Scacchetti’s Restaurant in Boardman for their first official wine taste. Italian cold cuts and cheese, baked brie, teriyaki chicken skewers, braised lamb kebabs, scallops and stuffed pork tenderloin were just a few of the delicacies that greeted the 40 plus people that attended this fun-filled evening of wine and food. My first white pick was the Valle Reale 2007 Trebbiano D’Abruzzo from Italy. Crisp citrus fruit flavors and an engagingly tart finish made this a great match for the tricolor tomato and mozzarella cheese plate. For those with more of a sweet tooth, the Oregon Oak Knoll 2007 Riesling was a crowd favorite. This Spatelese-style white was delicious with the baked brie drizzled in raspberry pepper sauce. Another fine Oregon white was the Willamette Valley 2007 Pinot Gris. Crisp and full-bodied with lemony citrus fruit flavors, this was a heavenly match for the scallops in lemon wine sauce. Red wine was well represented at this event, and my next few picks were a few off the top of many great wines present. My first selection was Michel Rollands Clos de los Siete 2007 from Argentina. This outstanding cuvee of Malbec (48 percent), Merlot (28 percent), Cabernet Sauvignon (12 percent) and Syrah (12 percent) produces a mouth-filling glass of wine that never fails to amaze me. Aromas of mocha and spice and gobs of berry-tinged fruit greet your palate and linger on in a spicy finish that has to be the longest you’ll ever enjoy for a wine in this price range ($20). My next pick was the Australian Yalumba Barosso 2007 Grenache made from old vine fruit (bush trained). This sumptuous wine was a perfect match for Scacchetti’s braised lamb kebabs. Laser-like strawberry-tinged fruit flavors and a long supple finish made me think I was drinking a fine old Burgundy instead of a brash, inexpensive New World red from down under. A real treat at this event was the 2001 Cabutto La Volta Barolo. Long in finish with loads of dark fruit flavors, this was a benchmark wine for this tasting. The rolled pork tenderloin was a fine match for this rare Piedmontese red. I would like to thank Scacchetti’s owners and staff for inviting me to their first wine taste, and I look forward to attending future events. My next wine destination was the Mad About the Arts wine taste at the YSU Mc-

Chookie Alberini (fourth from the right) hosted The Richard Alberini Memorial Scholarship fundraiser on Feb. 22 at Alberini’s Restaurant in Niles.

Donough Museum on Wick Avenue. More than 500 people turned out to support the event, which benefited SMARTS (Students Motivated by the Arts), an education effort between Youngstown city schools, YSU and other organizations. I was pleased that Phil and Sandy Reda, owners of Vintage Estates Wine and Beer asked me to pour for this event. A crowd favorite was the Raymond R Collection 2006 Chardonnay from Monterey County. Crisp citrusy fruit flavors with just a hint of oak on the finish make this a great choice for gatherings like this or just a romantic dinner for two on a budget. Another popular wine was the Chateau St. Michelle 2006 Gewurztraminer. Slightly off-dry fruit flavors and a spice-tinged finish went very nicely with the cinnamon-orange biscotti from Tropea’s Fine Pastry being featured at the next table. Another crowd favorite was the 2004 Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel. This inexpensive red ($9.99) seemed to go well with everything being served—it was one of the first wines we ran out of. The 2007 Monte Oton Garnacha from Campo de Borja, Spain also proved to be a popular pour. Bright strawberry and spicy fruit flavors with soft tannins make this an easy-drinking wine that really goes well with everything. I was able to slip away from my pouring duties and go to the lower level to visit local winemakers Dan Mastropietro of Mastropietro Winery

RESTAURANTS the

wine guy BY JOHN WEBSTER and Arnulf Esterer of Markko Vineyards. Mastropietro’s American Sangiovese with its soft fruit and supple tannins has always appealed to me. At Markko’s table, Esterer poured me a glass of his 2006 Homage Chardonnay. This cuvee of 85 percent Chardonnay and 15 percent Pinot Gris was simply outstanding. Hints of mandarin orange on the palate and a long, textured finish make this a fine choice for salmon or any shellfish dinner choice. Also at the lower level, the Thirsty Dog Brewing Company was sampling out some of their different brews. Their raspberryinfused ale was very appealing. The flavor of fresh-picked raspberries accompanies each sip of this delicious beer. Alberini’s Restaurant in Niles was my next stop of the month for the Richard Alberini Memorial Scholarship fundraiser on Feb. 22. “Chookie” Alberini prepared a sumptuous buffet of delicious fare to go with the seven tables of various wines from around the world. The first table featured a French Bordeaux Rose from Chateau Monbousquet.

Coming from the fabulous 2005 vintage, it was showing quite well with opulent berry fruit flavors followed by a long, crisp floral finish. It was a near-perfect match for Alberini’s wood-smoked Alaskan salmon. The table serving the Gabbiano 2006 Pinot Grigio IGT was also a favorite stopover for people with a plate full of smoked salmon and shrimp ceviche. Bright floral and citrus fruit flavors without a hint of oak paired nicely with the above food offerings. My next food stop was Chookie’s famous herb-grilled lamb chops drizzled in Merlot sauce. My first red to sample with the chops was the Occhioverde 2006 Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina. Made organically, this juicy blend of 85 percent Malbec and 15 percent Merlot exhibits gobs of ripe berry fruit flavors with a silky clean finish. Another fine match for the chops was the 2005 Elyse C’est Si Bon (“It’s So Good”) from the Sierra foothills of California. Made from grapes indigenous to the southern Rhone Valleys of France, it has a rich plum and berry mouth feel, with a creamy long finish. My next selection was the Brancott 2007 South Island Pinot Noir from New Zealand. Vintage 2007 is going to be considered one of New Zealand’s finest. Bright cherry and spice fruit flavors and a supple smoke-tinged finish paired perfectly with the bacon-wrapped scallops. Another Pinot Noir that caught my eye was the 2007 Eagle’s Rock Piedra del Aguila from Mendoza. Medium-bodied with loads of cherry and cola fruit flavors, this was another easy-drinking red that everyone enjoyed. Finally, I stopped at the table pouring the Louis Brut Premier from the Champagne region of France. This is classic textbook French bubbly. It paired well with everything being served and was simply fantastic all by itself. Five Points Wine and Bar had a Valentine’s Day wine taste showcasing many Cupid-friendly wines. Southeastern Australia’s 2005 First Love White is a tasty blend of Barosso Semillon (65 percent), Riesling (30 percent), and Viognier (5 percent). Full but crisp citrus fruit flavors followed by a floral-scented finish make this a wine that everyone should like. At $17.99 a bottle, the Deux Amis 2006 SEE WINE GUY, PAGE 27

WINE GUY, FROM PAGE 21 Zinfandel from Sonoma County offers lush

ripe berry fruit flavors and a creamy, mochatinged finish that goes on forever. Roasted chicken or steak right off the grill would be just fine with this tasty Zin. At mid-month, Five Points Wine and Bar invited 32 people for a fun-filled sit-down beer taste and dinner featuring Merchant du Vin’s fine stable of craft brews. A portion of Asiago-crusted salmon was paired to Ayingers Ur-Weiss Ale. This traditional dark wheat beer has a rich spicy nose and a hint of caramel on its finish that went very nicely with the crusted salmon. Another crowd favorite was the Rochefort Trappist 8. Deep brown in color with 9.2 percent alcohol, this is a real mouthful of beer. Five Points’ barbecued chicken breast with caramelized onions was a seamless pairing for this robust brew. While on the subject of craft brews, I attended a large beer tasting at Vintage Estates Wine and Beer earlier this year. On the lighter side, the featured EKU Pilsner from Germany was quite refreshing. Bright and crisp, this is a good choice for summertime get-togethers. On the heavier side, I really liked the Stone 11th Anniversary Ale from California. Dark brown in color with a coffee and herb finish that is quite intense, this is a great choice for someone willing to venture beyond light American lagers. Vintage Estates’ third Saturday of the month wine tasting showcased Kenwood’s Yulupa wines. Their 2006 Yulupa Chardonnay ($9.99) is partially barrel-fermented with lots of upfront fruit flavors and a crisp clean finish. My favorite red was their Old Vine Zinfandel from Lodi, Calif. This inexpensive Zin provides lots of ripe plum and berry fruit flavors followed by a classic spice-tinged finish. Last month, Wine Styles of Howland had a tasting of wines that go with chocolate. The South Australian 2006 Nepenthe Tryst Red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (79 percent), Tempranillo (15 percent), and Zinfandel (6 percent). Round mouthfilling fruit flavors and a savory finish made for a nice pairing with the many styles of chocolate offered. A real treat was the last wine presented. The Deco Chocolate Port $21.99 was dessert all by itself. A smidgen of chocolate essence gives this port a rich taste that has to be tried to be believed. I can easily say that a bottle of this sumptuous dessert wine and a dozen long-stemmed roses should melt even the hardest heart. Upcoming events include March 5, Wines of Spain at Wine Styles, which will also host “Stamp, Stomp and Wine” on March 9 and 10; March 17, Springfield Grille Beer Tasting; March 21, Vintage Estates Wine and Beer Third Saturday taste; April 23, Vernon’s Restaurant Gourmet Wine Taste featuring Nannicola Imports’ Friulian Wines. I look forward to visiting with fellow wine lovers as we launch into spring tastings.
