Chamber hires executive to spur international trade

he Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber has hired an international banking executive to spur international and national economic development opportunities for the Mahoning Valley. Eric Planey, a Youngstown native, assumed the newly created position of vice president, international/national business attraction at the Chamber effective Monday, July 27. Planey will use his experience working with business entities in the U.S. and internationally to attract new business and industry to the Mahoning Valley. “It’s essential that the Regional Chamber has an experienced professional working in the growing global economy to bring new business and jobs to our area. We think Eric is that experienced professional who can make the contacts necessary both in the U.S. and abroad to improve economic opportunities for our Valley,” said Tom Humphries, President and CEO of the Regional Chamber. Humphries noted that Planey’s ties to the Mahoning Valley and his genuine interest in seeing his hometown area move forward economically are a bonus for the community. “I am looking forward to complementing the fantastic team at the Regional Chamber by working to reinvigorate the global footprint of Youngstown and Warren,” Planey said. Planey’s position is being funded through a Congressional earmark garnered earlier this year by U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Niles, D-17th. Planey comes to the Regional Chamber after spending the last nine years as a vice president of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ (BTMU). He also spent two years (2005-2007) in Asia (Tokyo and Shanghai) as vice-president, Asian Relationship Management Desk, International Corporate Finance Department, growing the bank’s business with American and European corporations and equity sponsors. Planey served as the lead relationship manager, originator for U.S. multinational companies in Greater China, Japan and South Korea. He also oversaw relationships of heavy industry, U.S. and European multinationals, in China in terms of bank financing (RMB and USD) and non-loan services. Planey assisted the established China Holding Company of BTMU with creation of a country-specific hub-n-spoke system for China MNC banking. He spent the reminder of his time at the bank in the Leveraged Finance Department working as an analyst and manager, which included coordinating global pri-

Eric’s client companies were primarily auto suppliers and aerospace/defense firms. From 1997 to 1999, Planey was a commercial banking officer/senior analyst for the Ohio Bank and was a commercial credit analyst from 1995-1997 for Bank One Corp. He received a master’s of International Management in 2000 from the Thunderbird Global School of International Management, focusing on Eastern Europe financial reforms, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration/ Finance from Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio, in 1995. He is a 1991 graduate of Cardinal

Mooney High School. Planey is a member of the Bowling Green State University Department of Finance Advisory Board, co-captain of Team Norwegian Keishka cycling, a group dedicated to charitable causes, a member of the United Nations Associations of the United States, and has been a contributing op-ed writer for The Vindicator.

YMCA OK’s $6 million expansion in Boardman

oard Chairman John H. Yerian, Jr., announced last month that the Board of Trustees of the YMCA of Youngstown, voted unanimously to approve a $6 million expansion of the D. D & Velma Davis Family Branch. Groundbreaking is scheduled at 10 a.m. on Sept. for the project, six years to the day that the Davis Y in Boardman opened. The expansion will be completed in the fall of 2010. Plans call for nearly 30,000 square feet

of new space that will house a youth fitness and recreation center, multi-purpose gym; an aerobics studio; an enlarged fitness center; and additional family locker rooms. “We are excited to be able to offer even more to families, youth and seniors in the Mahoning Valley,” said Ken Rudge, CEO of the YMCA. “With this new space we can expand our programs and serve more members. Plus this expansion gives our current members more elbow room as they enjoy our facilities.” The project will be paid for by contributions, grant money and joining fees and will not require any borrowing or bonds. “It’s part of our ongoing re-investment,” Rudge said. “Thanks to our loyal members and our generous donors, we are pleased that we were able to invest more than $2 million on improvements and upgrades at our Central Branch in downtown Youngstown. We’ve also spent $5.5 million over the last five years to upgrade and expand our dining hall, lodges, a new chapel and water treatment plant at Camp Fitch – our branch located on the shores of Lake Erie. We believe in offering our diverse membership opportunities for health, well-being and relationship-building in safe, clean, attractive, well-equipped and maintained facilities.” The decision to expand the Davis Branch was made after a thorough examination of all the options available to the YMCA, including the possible construction of a fourth branch. “We would love to bring the community another family YMCA, and perhaps we will someday. But everyone we talked to agreed the timing isn’t right during this tough economic climate to conduct a $15 million capital campaign,” Rudge said. “This expansion makes sense now and will deliver added value to our family members. It’s the right step at the right time.” The expansion of the Davis Family Branch will increase its size to approximately 100,000 square feet, which is roughly equal in size to the downtown Youngstown location. Rudge says both branches are among the largest square foot YMCA facilities in the country. The date set for the ground-breaking, Sept. 10, is significant in that the Davis Family Y opened six years ago on Sept. 10, 2001. More information on the groundbreaking will follow in upcoming news advisories. To learn more about the YMCA of Youngstown, visit www.youngstown ymca.org

MAHONING VALLEY

Youngstown Bishop George V. Murry was scheduled to travel to Louisiana on Wednesday, July 29 to bless residents as they moved into their homes in New Orleans. In addition, two arch bishops and three cardinals were expected to meet and greet residents and the Mahoning Valley volunteers who have been assisting in the rebuilding of storm-ravaged New Orleans. What follows is an account of the June 2009 trip by the Youngstown volunteer group that has made numerous trips to New Orleans.

Homecoming Group finishing New Orleans house, bishop to visit

BY WILLIAM S. PEYKO SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY

ur group met on Father’s Day to embark on the latest work trip to New Orleans. We met at the Pilot service center in Niles and although there was a power outage, that didn’t delay us. While there, I was introduced to some of the adults from St. Pius who would be going on the trip this time. A member of this group, Deacon Bob Mintus, was a classmate of my son, Eric, so we discussed him for a few minutes, and then boarded the vehicles that would take us to New Orleans and back. We had three vans and one automobile. I was assigned to van number two, which was occupied by six students, two adults and myself. They were all strangers to me. Being the shy person that I am, I read a paperback book for most of the trip down to Louisiana. Brian Cline, our driver and a spiritual leader from St. Pius, had the students from the other vans switch vehicles, hoping they would get to know each other on the long trip. Although some students objected, it was done with a no-nonsense approach. As we continued on our journey, I had a limited conversation with a young woman named Stephanie, and a young man named Kyle. I had the feeling that they both thought I was from another planet, so I continued reading until we arrived in Franklin, Tenn. The motel where we were to stay had fouled up our reservations and it took about an hour to straighten things out. I was to bunk with Joe Fraser, who has traveled down to New Orleans for numerous work trips. The group then went to CiCi’s Pizza for dinner, but I went to the Cracker Barrel. As my coworkers know from previous trips, eating at CiCi’s Pizza is not my bag. MONDAY, JUNE 22 – We had breakfast and left at about 8:30 a.m. I was now in the van with Bob Mintus and his co-pilot and wife, Rita. We made frequent stops and arrived in New Orleans at about 6 p.m. We checked in at St. Jude’s, our place to stay, then staked out our bunks and went to the Marionite Sisters Convent. The sisters talked to our group and thanked us for helping restore homes in New Orleans. We ate hot dogs, beans and veggies. There were about 50 people at this affair – 90 percent of them were

young adults. Joe Fraser, Joe Baker (from Youngstown) and I were told we could stay at the convent. I am sure I was asked to stay to make sure the two of them would behave properly. After a bit, our group went for a ferry ride. It was quite impressive to see New Orleans all lit up while we took the ride. When it was over, we parted company for the night. TUESDAY, JUNE 23 – Our group consisted of Our Lady of Sorrows from East Palestine, St. Joseph’s in Alliance, and St. Pius in Warren. Another group had arrived at St. Jude’s but they disappeared. We ate breakfast at Our Lady of Guadalupe with Rev. Tony Baliwick, a very knowledgeable and kind priest. About 50 people were in the group. After breakfast, a caravan of three vans and a car arrived at 808 in St. Matthew’s Parish, and various chores were undertaken. The fences were being spray washed in preparation for painting. Workers were sanding sheds to prepare them for painting and dirt was removed from the former pool area.

In the house, the crew prepared the walls and ceiling with joint compound, or, as we say in the trade, mudding. All corners had mud and paper applied to seal them. The lath screws were checked and screwed in flush to make it easy to apply the mud. In between all of this activity, we removed tiling on Tuesday and Wednesday. Involved with me on this project were Laurie, Larry and George and the “Poosh” Brigade consisting of Christina, Katie, Rachael, Kyle, Andrew, Stephanie, Nathan and the Veggie guy. We developed a system whereby two people alternated on the blow torch, and two people would “poosh” the heated tile so it could be removed by hand. We had to work around the people who were working on the walls and ceiling. We wrapped it up for the day. In the afternoon, Brian was taken to the hospital for heat-related problems – it was a killer day heat-wise, about 104 degrees; I heard it was 107. That night we went to Miss Lydia’s (a New Orleans resident) for dinner – 50 or so workers attended. We had rice and red beans

as well as chicken wings and dessert. Lydia prepared all this food (with the help of Veronica Pitzullo) while her daughter was in the hospital recovering from kidney and pancreas transplants. The most outstanding part of the evening was Lydia’s second interview with a freelance reporter from California. Rev. Ed Brienz started with an overview about what his ministry is about – to rebuild New Orleans one house at a time. Then it was Miss Lydia’s turn to speak, and she had all of the volunteers in the palm of her hand. She told us of her journey through from Hurricane Katrina to the present time, and the loss of her husband. Her therapy was the dedication of all the people she met – young and old. Strangers who helped her weren’t strangers for very long. Feeding and opening her home was not payback time, but an acknowledgement of what these strangers’ kindness meant to her. Later the reporter wanted to know if I was the journalist. I said no, the journalist is my son; I am just a volunteer. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24 – We got our “Poosh” group together and continued working on the tile – it took us the greater part of the morning – we took frequent breaks for water. One girl, Codi, was not so fortunate. She succumbed to the heat. 9-1-1 was called and she went to the hospital. Her mom, Donna, accompanied her. Heat and lingering flu symptoms were probable contributing factors. All worked in the sun was suspended, the students cleaned up, ate and left for the day. Some of us continued mudding, patching, sanding and sweeping up the rooms. Kelly and Brittany, the daughters of Lisa (the homeowner), have been on the job daily working alongside the volunteers. In addition, they proceeded to bug me and drive me up a wall. Boss John Pitzullo insisted we go home at 2 p.m. He and Veronica stayed and continued working. I hope they don’t wear themselves out. The heat is unbearably hot and unusual, according to Miss Lydia. We went to Our Lady of Guadalupe to see a slide show comparing the Katrina victims’ suffering to that of the Blessed Virgin’s suffering – quite interesting, although some of the students nodded off. Tonight we were the guests of Robert and Jenny Bigelow for a real Southern dinner. Jenny said she had bought food for those who didn’t want Southern Soup or Shrimp Rice; they had burgers, dogs and even veggie burgers. All was really top shelf. They served about 50 people. Robert told the crowd the reason they were doing this was that strangers helped them in their hour of need, and it seemed like the right thing to do. THURSDAY, JUNE 25 – On the job at 7:30 a.m. or so. Some of the girls didn’t make it, as the weather had gotten to them. The rest of the group painted, cleaned up outside, and stacked piles of SEE NEW ORLEANS, PAGE 9

NEW ORLEANS, FROM PAGE 8 bricks for future use. We hauled away parts of the swimming pool and power washed the fence. Others worked in the house sanding and preparing the walls and ceilings for texturizing. I asked about painting the fence, and was told to do so. But I started some of the “Poosh” group with oil-based paint and was told to stop because we supposed to use a weatherproof paint. We had to remove the oil-based paint with a power washer. Since I goofed up, I figured I should be the one removing the paint and getting wet. Donna helped me, as well as Rachael, Christina and Katie. John Pitzullo, John Zubil (the lath man) and Veronica kept working to prepare the home for texturizing. In addition, many in the group kept mudding. Nancy and Judy painted the columns. Rachael, Katie and Christina had shown up in the morning with their shirts stenciled with “Poosh” and Biff. I was flattered by all the attention they paid to me and told them some corny jokes that they ate up. All the groups left around noon, but John Pitzullo, Joe Baker, Veronica and I remained. Joe and I power washed all the equipment. John Pitzullo and Glenn (from the convent) did texturizing throughout the house. We left about 3 p.m. Phase three will involve painting the interior, installing doors and frames, electrical and plumbing and outdoor work. The home should be ready for occupancy on Aug. 1. We met tonight for dinner. Rev. Ed reluctantly told his bell ringer joke which gets longer and longer. Sister Beth spoke and thanked John Pitzullo and Rev. Ed for their dedication to this project. Lisa and her daughters said a few words. We partied a little bit more and did some shopping before we went our separate ways. FRIDAY, JUNE 26 – We left New Orleans at about 8 a.m. and went to Shoney’s for breakfast. I rode with Donna, John and Codi Zubil. We arrived in Franklin. Tenn. and the group went to eat. The young adults swam in the pool, and others hit the sack. The Zubils and I parted company, as they were going to tour some historic sites, and I ended up riding back with the group from East Palestine. While in Kentucky, someone wanted to stop at a Corvair factory, but Joe reluctantly said no as we had a schedule to keep. We stopped at Wendy’s and ate. We parted company with the group from Alliance. Every time I turned around, I would bump into a smiling Megan from St. Pius. Was she assigned to keep an eye on me? Next, we said farewell to the St. Pius group. Finally, we arrive in East Palestine and were greeted by various family members. I took a picture of the group – to remember – how could I ever forget them?! From there, we headed to Barnes and Noble in Boardman, where my number two son was having a signing for his book “Remembering Youngstown.” My daughter Marshawn was there to take part in the signing and to drive me home. What an end to a perfect week! In conclusion, every time I come back from New Orleans I say “It’s probably my last time!” – yet something draws me back time and time again. Could it be that I want to hear Father Ed’s bell ringer story in a New Orleans setting again?

Budget ax chops 11% from Public Library’s budget

tate lawmakers passed a budget in mid-July that reduces Gov. Strickland’s proposed 30 percent cut to library funding to 11 percent. The Public Library Fund will be reduced by approximately $84 million (11 percent) over two years in the 2010-2011 state biennium budget. This amount is significantly lower than the approximate $226 million (30 percent) cut originally proposed by Gov. Strickland. Carlton A. Sears, director of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County, recognized the significance of library supporters throughout the state in achieving this goal. “The calls and emails to the governor and legislators literally flooded Columbus and our officials began to understand how truly important libraries are to the people of Ohio. We commend the many library advocates who contacted their legislators and the governor to voice their concern about the budget cuts and let them know how important libraries are to their communities. The response from the library community was overwhelming and had an undeniable impact. We are grateful for those efforts.” Doug Evans, executive director of the Ohio Library Council (OLC), said “Ohio’s public libraries have the citizens of Ohio to thank for exerting extraordinary influence on their elected representatives in the Ohio General Assembly to minimize the cuts to library funding. We believe the overwhelming groundswell of public support convinced the legislature to reject the governor’s massive cuts, and attempt to preserve library funding as much as possible during this challenging financial situation.” “While we are relieved that the cut will be less severe than first anticipated, we are still dealing with a critical budget situation

because this additional 11 percent cut in funds comes on the heels of the 20 percent decline in receipts in the PLF,” says Sears. The Library operates without debt and administrators have been taking measures throughout this year, implementing cuts and cost-saving measures, as news about eroding funds have gone from bad to worse. The projected 20 percent shortfall in funds due to the economy means a loss of about $1.9 million for Mahoning County’s library system. The new cuts would mean the Library has to resolve another $450,000 in funds before Dec. 31. The Public Library operates on a calendar

year; the biennium budget represents a fiscal year. What’s been done so far – Sears notes that since the first of the year, when indications showed that the Public Library Fund was declining, the Library began taking steps to balance its budget within the projected shortfalls. Among the steps taken: hours were moderately reduced; all employees, including administration and the library director, have taken a pay cut; cost-cutting measures have been taken with utilities and lighting; and the book budget has been cut. What will happen in light of the additional 11 percent cut? Work is under way to analyze library services and hours, as well as other avenues of spending. Sunday hours, which were usually available during the school year at several of the larger branches, will not be resuming this fall. More information will be available as decisions are made.

estminster College’s department of political science and sociology received a $2,000 grant from Global Solutions Education Fund Pittsburgh to support Model United Nations at Westminster student organization activities for the 2009-2010 academic year.

Dr. Michael Aleprete, Westminster assistant professor of political science and faculty advisor to the group, explained, “The support from Global Solutions has been instrumental in expanding our activities. They obviously feel we are providing an important educational opportunity for area students, since this is the second year they have awarded us the grant.

Affordable housing is available for students wanting to live both on and off-campus. Within 10 blocks of YSU, students can find a great variety of university-owned and operated housing, independent residential complexes, rooms, apartments and houses. Prices and options vary, so almost anyone can find a living space that meets individual needs and budgets. On campus, YSU’s Student Housing Office offers five dormitories. The centrally located Kilcawley House is the oldest student housing facility and was completed in 1965. Cafaro House, sited north of campus on Madison Avenue, is the newest and was built in 1995.

In addition, there are a number of rental properties north of the university. Rentals include rooms, floors, apartments and whole houses. Many are located on the WRTA bus lines.

It lists rooms, apartments and houses and notes costs, rental terms, location, and contact phone numbers. Call 330-941-3547 or visit the front desk of YSU’s Kilcawley House to obtain a copy.

Midsummer flows with great wines, jazz and generous hearts

idsummer provided Mahoning Valley wine aficionados with many avenues to enjoy great wines. My first excursion took me to the second annual Jazzfest at Mastropietro Winery in Berlin Center. Once again, food was offered by Fifth Season Restaurant’s fine catering service, with entertainment provided by the Jack Schantz Quartet, Janet Opritza & Co., Frank Cunimondo, John Morton & Friends, and the John Reese Project. Winemaker Dan Mastropietro presented an excellent selection of his wines for the day’s festivities. Mastropietro was gracious to offer me a sampling of some of his new wines. My first choice was his Grandpa’s Best Red, a traditional blend of Muscat, Alicante, and Zinfandel. It was delicious with the Fifth Season’s grilled portobello wraps. Bold red fruit flavors followed by a supple finish tinged with herbs and pepper had me asking for more. Two other reds I was treated to were Mastropietro’s American Merlot Vintner’s Reserve, and his American Syrah. Both these wines will be available by the time this column appears. The Merlot offers soft juicy berry fruit flavors and a textured finish that just lingers on and on. The Syrah is deeply colored with upfront dark fruit flavors and a finish of white pepper and spice. If you missed this event and are tired of driving hours to be entertained, don’t miss Mastropietro’s hot air balloon festival on Aug. 30. With great food and wine, your spirits will be lifted along with the hot air balloons. Springfield Grille hosted two topnotch wine events last month. The first event was a presentation of Wente Family Estate wines from Livermore, Calif. Paula S. Witkowski is Wente’s regional sales manager, and was on hand to lead us through Wente’s broad selection of wines. At under $10, their Hays 2007 Best Foot Forward Chardonnay from the central coast is a great choice for someone looking for a crisp, unoaked Chardonnay with lots of upfront citrus fruit flavors. Grilled chicken and veggies hot off the fire would be my choice of entrée for this tasty, well-priced white. Two marvelous wines up the scale in price but definitely bargains were the Morning Fog 2007 Chardonnay ($12.99) from Livermore Valley and Arroyo Seco fruit and the Reliz Creek 2006 Pinot Noir ($25) from Monterey County. The Morning Fog is an interesting blend of 97 percent Chardonnay and 3 percent Gewurztraminer. With just 50 percent fermentation in oak and the rest in stainless, this crisp fruit-forward white offers lots of apple and citrus fruit flavors

Upcoming wine events Some upcoming wine events include Aug. 15, Vintage Estate Wine and Beer third Saturday tasting; Aug. 21, Wine Styles Passport Tasting and Aug. 26, Women Gone Wine; Sept. 12, Springfield Grille Make-a-Wish fundraiser.

I hope to see you at wine events across the Valley! – John Webster

followed by a clean, refreshing finish. My personal favorite was the Reliz Creek Pinot Noir from Monterey. This bargainpriced red features plenty of dark cherry fruit flavors and a long, supple finish of spice and earth. This easy-drinking Pinot compares nicely with wines costing $35 and up. The Grille’s next major event was their monthly wine dinner featuring California’s Flora Springs Vineyard. Coconut Thai crab cakes over Asian greens were paired with Flora Springs’ 2007 Chardonnay. Barrel fermentation with no maloactic fermentation produced a crisp fruitdriven wine with a long, zingy finish that was delicious with the crab cakes. Local fried green tomatoes from Lonardo’s (on Southern Boulevard in Boardman) with

Crisp melon and citrus fruit flavors easily stood up to the scrumptious fried green tomatoes. The third course of five-spice duck breast in a spring roll with deep orange sauce was served with a glass of Flora Springs’ 2006 Napa Merlot. Textbook berry fruit flavors enhanced the taste of the five-spice duck. Flora Springs’ 2006 Trilogy Meritage was next in line for sampling. It was paired to

breaded veal medallions in a housemade demi-glaze. Bold complex fruit flavors with a supple finish made this a crowd favorite. The dessert course featured a signature chocolate marscapone ginger tart with a glass of Flora Springs’ 2006 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. This is classic Napa Cab at its best. As part of the tasting, Sheila Nuth of the Springfield Grille offered a double magnum of the 2005 Flora Springs Trilogy for auction, with the proceeds going to the Make-a-Wish benefit on Sept. 13. After spirited bidding, the wine was sold to a generous patron who stipulated that the wine be returned to Make-a-Wish to be auctioned again at the Sept. 13 benefit. My next wine experience took me to Five Points Wine and Bar for their monthly wine taste. The owners and staff have really made an effort to obtain regional artisan cheeses from around the world to accompany their varied wine selections. Two fine wine and cheese picks really stood out at this tasting. The 2007 Terra Ventoux ($11.99) from the Cote du Ventoux region of France is a blend of white Grenache (50 percent) and Clairette (50 percent). Light-bodied with crisp, tangy fruit flavors, it finishes with a hint of flowers and honey. I really enjoyed it with the French Mimolette cheese. A red wine that got everyone’s attention was the 2007 La Sangliere Vin Rouge ($14.99). From Cote de Provence, France, this rich-tasting blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache was outstanding with the soft-textured French Morbier cheese. Five Points should be applauded for demonstrating that you don’t have to empty your pockets for an excellent bottle of classic SEE THE WINE GUY, PAGE 19

TUNE UP! How does Cellfood work?

FREE ith BOOK wASE PURCH upplies while s t! las

In partnership with the body’s own natural intelligence, Cellfood releases oxygen whenever and wherever it’s needed— and if no longer needed, no more is released. And, its essential natural minerals, enzymes, amino acids and electrolytes are delivered simultaneously throughout the body on the deepest cellular level.

When you mix Cellfood with water or juice and ingest it, its proprietary watersplitting action begins the moment you take the first sip. This cascading time release of oxygen typically peaks within 8-12 hours, and then keeps working hour after hour.

Importantly, Cellfood won’t create free radical damage. Free radicals— believed to be a primary cause of aging and disease— are positively charged ions of oxygen. Since Cellfood’s released oxygen molecules are negatively charged, they seek out and attract these dangerous free radicals, joining with them to form stabilized oxygen.
