HEALTH & FITNESS Treating seasonal affected disorder About half a million Americans – women more often than men – suffer from seasonal affective disorder, while many others experience milder symptoms. Symptoms may include loss of pleasure and energy, feelings of worthlessness, inability to concentrate, and an uncontrollable urge to eat sugar and high-carbohydrate foods. The most common form of seasonal affective disorder arrives in the fall, tends to worsen in January and February, and then subsides in the spring.

MAHONING VALLEY Holy Ghost Macedono-Bulgarian Orthodox Church - small, but devoted Few seem to know it sits there on a small, quiet street off Mahoning Avenue on Youngstown’s West Side. No bigger than a modest sized house, the Holy Ghost Macedono-Bulgarian Orthodox Church sits as a testimony to the old ways even as it bravely faces the new. Metro Monthly recently chatted with Rev. Basil Duesenberry about the history of the little church and the changes it has seen over the years. “Holy Ghost goes through what Youngstown goes through,” said Basil.

COMMUNITY JOURNAL United Way exceeds goal; raises over $2.5 million
T
he United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley announced in late January that the organization has exceeded its 2009 campaign goal of $2.5 million. The annual campaign raised $2,500,113 for the community. There are several highlights contributing to the success of the 2009 campaign. Over $80,000 was raised in new dollars this year including 42 new leadership donors each giving $1,000 or more. The new money raised also represents over 20 new donors in the professional division, and 23 new corporate and/or workplace campaigns through local businesses. The largest new corporate gift was from Knoll Run Golf Course and the largest new workplace campaign was Turning Technologies. The United Way also launched a 100x100 Campaign in which they asked local businesses to donate $100 for the first time. Approximately 75 businesses contributed in this campaign. “Many companies and individuals gave generously this year, and we thank them for their sacrifices to help their neighbors in need,” said Bob Hannon, president and chief professional officer, United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley. “For this community to raise $2.5 million to support those less fortunate, in this economy, speaks volumes about this Valley. I see a lot of momentum with our volunteers and donors as United Way moves forward in putting the community first, and funding programs that advance the common good, as well addressing the greatest needs.” “We set an aggressive goal of $2.5 million this year,” said John Donahoe, General Motors Lordstown Complex and 2009 campaign chairman. “Because we knew so many would be facing some significant challenges this economy, I am very proud of the more than $150,000 raised by local United Auto Workers in collaboration with General Motors Corp. I am also so appreciative of all the people and communities that support the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley in these difficult times. This money will be invested in fantastic programs right here in the Mahoning Valley.” For the 2009 campaign, the largest corporate gift was made by PNC Bank, the largest workplace campaign was General Motors Lordstown Complex, the second largest workplace campaign was Youngstown State University, and the largest gift made by a foundation was The Youngstown Foundation. There have also been the following increases among last year’s donors:

Gates grants Public Library $44,850 for computers
T
he Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County will receive $44,850 from a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Online Opportunity Grant through the State Library of Ohio to increase the availability of public computers in the library. Local support played a large role in securing the required matching funds so that this grant could become a reality. The purpose of grant is two-fold. First, it provides public access computers in eight of the library system’s branches identified by the Gates Foundation. Second, the grant
provides a means to increase local community support for access to computers. The Gates Foundation required the Library to raise 25 percent in matching funds to be able to secure the $44,850 in foundation funding. The community met the challenge to provide the match needed to complete grant requirements. Donations for this grant came from The Youngstown Foundation, $7,000; Friends of PLYMC, $5,000; Friends of Poland Library, $1,000; Friends of Boardman Library, $1,000 and Friends of Austintown Library, $1,000. “These organizations clearly recognize the importance of providing access to computers within our community and the significance of ongoing financial support of libraries in an era when many of our residents have only one available source for Internet and computer access – their local library,” said Carlton Sears, Library director. “The Youngstown Foundation, the Friends of the Library and the Gates Foundation came to our aid at a critical time.

Bishop’s Appeal pledges surpass $3.6 million goal
T
he Catholic Diocese of Youngstown’s 2009 Bishop’s Appeal for Catholic Charities and Church has surpassed its $3.6 million goal. Pledges received from 25,500 Catholic households totaled $3,625,000. The annual Bishop’s Appeal is the primary funding source for the work of Catholic Charities in the six-county Catholic Diocese of Youngstown. In the past year, there has been a 35 percent increase in the number of individuals and families coming to the agencies of Catholic Charities for help. “People come to Catholic Charities as a last resort seeking the basic necessities of life,” said Brian Corbin, executive director. “Thanks to the generous response to the 2009 Bishop’s Appeal, we can continue providing our traditional services, but it will be an ongoing struggle to meet the needs of the growing numbers at our doors.” “I am most grateful to our Catholic people for sharing with others in these difficult economic times. Despite concerns about their own economic well-being, they responded in faith . . . giving hope to those less fortunate,” said Bishop George V. Murry, S.J.

Meeting to discuss heritage district for Western Reserve ◆ A meeting to discuss the national heritage district idea will occur from 4-8 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 17 at Kent State Trumbull Campus, 4314 Mahoning Ave. NW in Champion. The meeting occurs in Lecture Hall A.
I
n 1796, surveyors arrived in Ohio and began preparing the wilderness for settlement. Those now living and working in the area known as the Western Reserve have the opportunity to decide if working as a region toward resource conservation
and economic development could be the next chapter in this region’s history. A feasibility study for designating the Western Reserve as a National Heritage Area has been requested by Congress and is currently under the coordination of the National Park Service. The feasibility study includes an evaluation of the region’s unique historical natural, recreation, and cultural resources to determine their national significance, as well as an examination of local support and ability to coordinate a national heritage area should designation be approved by Congress. A local steering committee of more than 20 regional community planners, economic development specialists, preservation experts, and resource managers is providing study assistance. Lake Erie Coastal Ohio Trail/Ohio Sea Grant, Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition and the Ohio Historical Society are helping the National Park Service conduct the study. As originally charted by surveyors hired by the Connecticut Land Company, the study area for the Western Reserve Heritage Area includes all or portions of present-day counties of Trumbull, Mahoning, Ashtabula, Portage, Geauga, Lake, Cuyahoga, Summit, Medina, Huron, Lorain, Erie, Ottawa and Ashland. Town Hall Gatherings are being held to present information about national heritage areas and the feasibility study, as well as to hear comments from those within the study area. “The Town Hall Gatherings are the most important components of the feasibility study,” said Rory Robinson, study team leader with the National Park Service. “We look forward to listening to the citizens of the Western Reserve and learning about their stories, resources, and cultural traditions.” Town Hall Gatherings are scheduled throughout the Western Reserve region from Jan. 27-Feb. 25. These informal meetings will be held 4 to 8 p.m. and include presentations by the National Park Service at 4:15 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. National Park Service staff and members of a Western Reserve Heritage Feasibility Steering Committee will be on-hand to answer questions. These gatherings will provide opportunities for the public to provide input. A local meeting will occur on Wednesday, Feb. 17 at Kent State Trumbull Campus, Lecture Hall A, 4314 Mahoning Ave. NW in Champion. Participants can offer input from 4-8 p.m. There are currently 49 national heritage areas in the United States, including two within the State of Ohio: Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area in northeast Ohio and the National Aviation Heritage Area in southwest Ohio. Each national heritage area has a local organization responsible for working with local communities in setting and implementing activities and goals. To learn more about the Western Reserve Heritage Area Feasibility Study, visit http://westernreserve.ning.com, or call Robinson with the National Park Service at 330-657-2951.

Holy Ghost Macedono-Bulgarian Orthodox – small, yet devoted BY NATHALIE TAGHABONI SPECIAL TO THE MONTHLY
F
ew seem to know it sits there on a small, quiet street off Mahoning Avenue on Youngstown’s West Side. No bigger than a modest sized house, the Holy Ghost Macedono-Bulgarian Orthodox Church sits as a testimony to the old ways even as it bravely faces the new. Metro Monthly recently chatted with Rev. Basil Duesenberry about the history of the little church and the changes it has seen over the years. “Holy Ghost goes through what Youngstown goes through,” said Basil. “It began when immigrants from Macedonia and Bulgaria arrived and looked for a way to keep the culture and faith of the old country. It didn’t begin as a church though, but as a gathering place to connect and hold on to traditions. These folks used to walk or take the bus from miles around to come here.” Over the years the congregation grew as business boomed and more Macedonian and Bulgarian immigrants arrived. By the middle of the last century it was flourishing. Then, as Youngstown suffered economic blows and industries and businesses closed or left the valley, members moved away also. Today, the congregation stands at about 50 members. Yet Holy Ghost remains on South Richview Avenue tended to faithfully by its flock. It may even have guardian angels. “There are times I would come to tidy up the yard or remove the snow only to find that someone has come by and done it already. I have never been able to find out who is helping us out, but we are grateful,” Basil said with a smile. Several improvements were made to the church building within the last 10 years or so. Basil explains: “They bought the building and property from the Christian Ministries Association and in 1936 dedicated it as the Holy Ghost Macedono-Bulgarian Orthodox Church. It was incorporated in 1955. The building is almost the same

as the original structure, but what you see today, both inside and out has a number of improvements.” The stained glass windows on both sides are the original ones, with the two front panes being later additions. The exterior was redone to give the building longer life, a new ceiling was put in, the icons at the altar were refurbished, some added. The cupola was designed and built by a church

The sanctuary at Holy Ghost is simple yet steeped in tradition. The rear area is forbidden to all but the pastor and those consecrated to enter – and even then only through special doors. The altar holds relics of the patron saint of the Bulgarian Church, Saint John of Rila and Saint Herman of Alaska – the first American Saint. In deference to modern changes, the service is given in English but on occasion some hymns may be sung in Church-Slavonic. Holy Ghost has been a part of the Orthodox Church in America since 1976.

Therapies for treating for seasonal affective disorder FROM THE HARVARD HEALTH LETTER
A
bout half a million Americans – women more often than men – suffer from seasonal affective disorder, while many others experience milder symptoms. Symptoms may include loss of pleasure and energy, feelings of worthlessness, inability to concentrate, and an uncontrollable urge to eat sugar and high-carbohydrate foods. The most common form of seasonal affective disorder arrives in the fall, tends to worsen in January and February, and then subsides in the spring. Although bright white light remains a mainstay of treatment, in the past few years researchers have investigated ways to improve and refine light therapy. ◆ Traditional light therapy – Fluorescent light boxes are most often used to deliver traditional bright light therapy. Patients usually expose themselves to 30 minutes of light. Bright white light acts on cells in the retina that connect to the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that helps control circadian rhythms, which are somehow disrupted in seasonal affective disorder. Two reviews of multiple studies on light therapy, which included only randomized controlled trials, concluded that bright light therapy was as effective at treating seasonal affective disorder as antidepressant therapy, and in some cases more effective. But investigators have sought to improve on traditional light therapy for three reasons. First, it doesn’t work for everyone. Different studies have reported that 50 percent to 80 percent of patients achieve complete relief from depressive symptoms after bright light therapy – and remission may depend upon carefully individualized timing of light. Second, dosing remains a major question. Dose depends on the strength of the light source, the patient’s distance from the light box, light wavelength, and duration of exposure. The recommendation for 30 minutes of daily exposure is based on average response to white light; some patients may not need that much exposure to benefit, or may experience adverse side effects from that amount. Others – such as parents of toddlers – may not be able to sit in front of a device for 30 minutes each morning. Finally, side effects of bright light therapy, while mild for many patients, may be more of a concern for others. For example, bright light therapy may trigger hypomania or mania in patients with bipolar disorder, which is why moodstabilizing medications are often recommended at the same time. And while the
YMCA kicks off 2010 fundraising campaign
T
he Youngstown YMCA was set to begin its 2010 fundraising campaign with a party at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish Center on Saturday, Jan. 30. The campaign runs through March 5. The evening was set to feature live entertainment, auctions, raffles and gourmet food all to benefit the YMCA’s “Strong Kids Campaign.” The campaign provides financial assistance to underprivileged youth and families for membership and/or program fees, assistance to special needs populations and agencies with usage of the YMCA’s pools and gyms. In 2008, the YMCA provided $870,000 in assistance to the community. The need is expected to rise this year to include an estimated 3,380 youth, more than 553 families, 1,200 adults and 800 special needs children. In addition to the campaign party, helping to jumpstart the fund-raising campaign is the annual SpinA-Thon on Saturday, Feb. 6. Spinners will raise money for the campaign by securing donations for each hour they ride, with some riders even committing to the entire seven hours.

About half a million Americans – women more often than men – suffer from seasonal affective disorder, while many others experience milder symptoms. Symptoms may include loss of pleasure and energy, feelings of worthlessness, inability to concentrate, and an uncontrollable urge to eat sugar and high-carbohydrate foods. risk of retinal damage from light therapy is small over all, some medications and medical conditions increase the risk for some patients. ◆ Retina risk – The following medications or conditions raise the risk of retinal damage from bright light therapy: First-generation antipsychotics Lithium Melatonin St. John’s wort Diabetes Retinopathies Enhancing light therapy Investigations are under way to see if changing the timing of light therapy, or using particular wavelengths of light, might improve response or reduce risk of side effects like mania or retinal damage. ◆ Better timing – Researchers from Columbia University reported that remission from seasonal affective disorder was twice as likely if light therapy was precisely calibrated to melatonin rhythms. They found that 80 percent of patients achieved remission if light therapy began 7.5 to 9.5 hours after an evening melatonin surge, compared with 38 percent of patients whose light therapy began 9.5 to 11 hours afterward. Individual melatonin shifts may
vary by five to six hours. ◆ Dawn simulation – In this varia-
tion of light therapy, a preset light device turns on before a patient awakens. Light intensity increases gradually over a period of 90 minutes. Although the studies so far have been small, they have also been promising. ◆ Blue light – Traditional devices use white light, a mixture of all the colors (such as blue, green, and red) in the visible light spectrum. The use of lightemitting diode (LED) technology has made it possible to create smaller and more portable devices and test specific wavelengths of light. Studies have found that ganglion cells in the retina are particularly sensitive to blue light, suggesting that this wavelength may powerfully affect circadian rhythms. Researchers are investigating whether blue light might provide the same benefit as white light but with less exposure time – which might reduce risk of side effects in vulnerable patients. ◆ Current guidance – Experts recommend that patients with seasonal affective disorder first try traditional bright white light therapy after awakening. If it does not help or creates bothersome side effects, it may be worth trying antidepressants or one of the alternatives under investigation. The FDA does not test, approve, or regulate light box devices, so patients considering buying any device should ask about the wavelengths it emits and check to see if it has been used in any reputable research facilities.

Howland salon raises funds for Cancer Center
T
he Lanai Salon recently took a corporate gift and turned it into a fundraiser for the Ireland Cancer Center at Trumbull Memorial Hospital. The salon created a basket valued at nearly $500 and raffled it off to clients and the community. The basket included a pink limited edition Paul Mitchell flat iron, a professional blow dryer and an array of other salon and spa products. In just two months, the salon raised more than $900 for the Cancer Center through raffle ticket sales. Fran Ruberto, one the salon’s owners, said due to the tremendous support they received, another raffle is in the works. “I think everyone has someone who’s been touched by cancer in their life, and this was a wonderful way for us to give something back,” Ruberto said. With the positive response from clients and staff, Ruberto contacted the Paul Mitchell offices in hopes that other salons would soon follow suit. The Lanai Salon is located at 165 Niles Cortland Road in the Galleria Suites in Howland. For more information, call 330-240-4838.

Exercise is the secret to better health FROM THE HARVARD HEALTH LETTER
W
hether you’re 9 or 90, abundant evidence shows exercise can enhance your health and well-being. But for many people, sedentary pastimes, such as watching TV, surfing the Internet, or playing computer and video games, have replaced more active pursuits. What exercise can do for you – Millions of Americans simply aren’t moving enough to meet the minimum threshold for good health — that is, Millions of burning at least 700 to 1,000 calories a week through Americans pursuits. The bensimply aren’t physical efits of exercise may sound too good to be true, but demoving cades of solid science conenough to firm that exercise improves meet the health and can extend your life. Adding as little as half an minimum hour of moderately intense threshold physical activity to your day can help you avoid a host of for good serious ailments, including health. heart disease, diabetes, depression, and several types of cancer, particularly breast and colon cancers. Regular exercise can also help you sleep better, reduce stress, control your weight, brighten your mood, sharpen your mental functioning, and improve your sex life. A well-rounded exercise program has four components: aerobic activity, strength training, flexibility training, and balance exercises. Each benefits your body in a different way. Fighting disease with aerobic activity – Aerobic exercise is the centerpiece of any fitness program. Nearly all of the research regarding the disease-fighting benefits of exercise revolves around cardiovascular activity, which includes walking, jogging, swimming, and cycling. Experts recommend working out at moderate intensity when you perform aerobic exercise—brisk walking that quickens your breathing is one example. This level of activity is safe for almost everyone and provides the desired health benefits. Additional health benefits may flow from increased intensity. Protecting bone with strength training – Strength or resistance training, such as elasticband workouts and the use of weight machines or free weights, are important for building muscle and protecting bone. Bones lose calcium and weaken with age, but strength training can help slow or sometimes even reverse this trend. Not only can strength training make you look and feel better, but it can also result in better performance of everyday activities, such as climbing stairs and carrying bundles. Stronger muscles also mean better mobility and balance, and thus a lower risk of falling and injuring yourself. In addition, more lean body mass aids in weight control because each pound of muscle burns more calories than its equivalent in fat. Ease back pain with flexibility exercises – Stretching or flexibility training is the third prong of a balanced exercise program. Muscles tend to shorten and weaken with age. Shorter, stiffer muscle fibers make you vulnerable to injuries, back pain, and stress. But regularly performing exercises that isolate and stretch the elastic fibers surrounding your muscles and tendons can counteract this process. And stretching improves your posture and balance. Preventing falls with balance exercises – Balance tends to erode over time, and regularly performing balance exercises is one of the best ways to protect against falls that lead to temporary or permanent disability. Balance exercises take only a few minutes and often fit easily into the warm-up portion of a workout. Many strengthtraining exercises also serve as balance exercises. Or balance-enhancing movements may simply be woven into other forms of exercise, such as tai chi, yoga, and Pilates. © 2010, The Harvard Medical School. Used with permission.

January offers fine beer, wine events in the Mahoning Valley
J
anuary was filled with many fine wine and beer events. My first stop took me to Station Square Restaurant in Liberty for their Relay for Life food and wine benefit. Sixteen wines from around the world were paired to a buffet of imported cheeses and antipasto, assorted pastas, chicken Francaise, rack of white marbled pork, shaved prime rib, and lemon pepper and Cajun tilapia. My first pick was the New Zealand Clifford Bay 2009 Sauvignon Blanc. Bright lemon and grapefruit flavors followed by a crisp finish made this a fine match for the lemon-pepper tilapia. My next pick was the 2007 Cloudline Pinot Gris from Oregon. Station Square’s juicy rack of marbled pork was a perfect partner for this bold, fruit-forward white. Peach and citrus flavors followed by a crisp, spicy finish kept me coming back for more. My next food pairing was the seafood orecciette. This creamy seafood and pasta dish was just the answer for the 2008 Rutherford Ranch Chardonnay from Napa Valley. This is Napa Chardonnay at its best. Lightly oaked with bold tropical fruit flavors, it was also wonderful with the chicken francaise. The 2007 Prunotto Dolcetto d’Alba from northern Italy’s Piedmont region was my first red pick. Medium red in color with an ethereal flower-tinged bouquet, this light-bodied red was delicious with the cavatelli marinara. Soft round cherry flavors will keep you coming back for more. For someone looking for a more robust red, the 2008 Marquis Phillips Shiraz from Australia’s McLaren Vale should fill the bill. Bold plummy fruit flavors followed by a pepper and spice finish held up nicely with the shaved prime rib. Station Square’s Pat and Ottavio have more events planned for the coming year, so watch my column for details. The Springfield Grille in Boardman was my next stop for their monthly wine dinner. This month, they showcased Kit Fox wines from Purple Feet distributors. Kit Fox’s owner, Hunter Vogel, led us through a scrumptious five-course dinner featuring his wines. We started off with sesame tacos stuffed with lump crab meat and blood orange segments. The 2008 Kit Fox “Foxy White” Napa Blend ($11.99) was just the answer for this opening course. Made from mostly Chenin Blanc with a smidgen of orange Muscat, Viognier and Chardonnay tossed in, it just oozes tropical fruit flavors. The 2008 Treasure Hunter Chardonnay ($14.99) from Sonoma’s Dry Creek Valley was paired to spaghetti vegetables topped with peanuts and bean sprouts in a wine-lime vinaigrette. Treasure hunter’s

s the Lenten season approaches, Christian thoughts turn to the rituals of self-denial, fasting, meatless Fridays and church fish fries. Across the Mahoning Valley, volunteers will be serving up countless dinners filled with huge pieces of Icelandic haddock, along with pierogy, haluski, macaroni and cheese and other tasty delights. Nearly all are available for reasonable prices and served in a church hall, annex or available for carryout. Proceeds from these Friday feasts often go toward the church or parish programs. Each congregation has its specialties. Some side dishes reflect the ancestry of the church while others remind residents how various ethnicities have contributed to the culinary flavor of the Mahoning Valley. Lent begins on Wednesday, Feb. 17 – Ash Wednesday – and ends on Sunday, April 4 with Easter. Scores of local churches sponsor Friday fish dinners, but most don’t serve on Good Friday. Still, there are six Fridays to celebrate, sample, and savor the flavors of the Mahoning Valley. What follows is a small sampling of dozens of church dinners and fish fries that occur in the area each year. St. Lucy/St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, 394 Tenney Ave., Campbell;
330-755-1367. – St. Lucy/St. Rose of Lima is in the third year of its Lenten fish fry. Chairman John Makosky said he expects more dinners to be sold each year. The first year, they served about 90 dinners each week during Lent and last year, they averaged close to 200. “We serve fried or baked cod fish. Normally, we have haluski – a Slovak accent to the dinner – macaroni and cheese, an American side dish and the most popular, and, of course, there’s coleslaw, French fries.” Dinners come with bread and butter, coffee, and a dessert, with many being home-baked. Dinners are $9 for adults, $8 for seniors, and $4.50 for children. A family plan offers three dinners for $25. Dinners are served from 4-7 p.m. on Fridays during Lent and Stations of the Cross bookend the dinners. Makosky said more than 45 families help with the preparation, serving and cleanup each week. “It’s just amazing when you see the people get together. It becomes more or less a community project rather than a fund-raising project. We are so happy with the way that this has brought the people together on the parish level, everybody pitches in.” St. Maron Parish, 1555 S. Meridian Road, Youngstown; 330-792-2371. – Tom Joseph heads up the volunteer committee that serves more than 300 people every Lenten Friday at Antioch Hall, adjacent to St. Maron’s on South Meridian Road. The dine-in or carry-
Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church, 54 Laird Ave., Youngstown; 330-
out menu includes broiled or fried haddock, grilled yellow-fin tuna, shrimp, smelts and clam strips. Side dishes include the Lebanese staple, mjadra, a side dish comprised of cooked lentils, rice and caramelized onions. Other sides include hummus, tabouli, pasta fagoli, coleslaw, French fries, pierogy and haluski. Joseph said they also serve a Lebanese specialty cheese as one of the sides. Desserts include pies, cakes and brownies made by members of the congregation. Dinners are $8 and include a fish entrée, two sides, bread, coffee or tea and dessert. The hours of operation are from 3-7 p.m. on Fridays. Joseph said dinners are individually prepared. “Nothing is under a heat lamp, or in a warming drawer. We hand make our batter, we hand make our pierogies. Every dinner is made to order.” St. Luke Catholic Church, 5235 South Ave., Boardman; 330-782-9783. Bert Wainio runs the fish fry at St. Luke. “Here, you get over a half pound of haddock, it’s broiled, baked or deep fried on request. You get your choice of macaroni and cheese, haluski, pierogies, French fries, plus coleslaw.” He is former grand knight of the Knights of Columbus and started the fish fry six years ago as a way to generate revenue for the church. He added jokingly that it’s his six weeks of Penance. “We get out of the house. I mean, you made it through the holidays and it’s not golfing season . . . so here you are with a bunch of guys. You know, you would not believe the turn out we get on a Friday evening,” he said. At least 12 of the 60 Knights at St. Luke’s volunteer each Friday during Lent. St. Luke’s fish fry is carryout only, since the church hosts bingo on Friday evenings. Hours are from 5-7 p.m. Wainio estimated that they sell about 60 dinners and 30 sandwiches each week. Dinners are $8.50 and fish sandwiches are $5.50.
792-2099. – Nestled between First and Second streets on Youngstown’s West Side, Holy Trinity serves fish dinners year round. A church group, Circle of Serbian Sisters, prepares the meals. Mickie Stankich, president of the Sisters and treasurer for the church, said the dinners help to offset church expenses. “Our congregation is shrinking and the expenses such as heating are very expensive for the big hall and it takes a lot to heat that property.” For $9, dinners include cod or haddock (baked or fried), two sides, bread, coleslaw and coffee. Sides include Spanish rice, green beans, macaroni and cheese, haluski and French fries. There are two choices for coleslaw at Holy Trinity. According to Stankich, an oil-and-vinegarbased coleslaw is appropriate for the congregants’ religious fasting. “The Orthodox Christians in our church do a strict fast . . . like if you are going to go to Confession and Communion. It’s all non-dairy products and no meat, so the oil and vinegar is good for that purpose.” They also serve the traditional creamy coleslaw for non-fasters. Desserts include pies in coconut cream, apple, cherry and lemon meringue varieties. According to church representatives, coconut cream is their best seller. Dinner hours are from 3:30 to 7 p.m. Stankich, who has been a member of the church for 40 years, called the weekly fish dinner a community event. “We have people who have been coming for 25 years.” Holy Trinity usually serves about 150 dinners every Friday throughout the year. Stankich said she expects a slight decrease in sales since they face competition from other churches and restaurants during Lent.
Waiter! There’s a side dish in my carryout and it’s delicious! A primer on some of the flavorful ethnic sides found at local church fish fries. Haluski – A traditional Slovak dish of sweet cabbage, noodles, onions and spices sautéed in a butter sauce. Pierogy – Polish dumplings traditionally filled with sauerkraut, potatoes and cheese sautéed in a butter sauce and often served with fried onions. Hummus – A Mid-Eastern dip made from chick peas, lemon juice, garlic and tahini. Tabouli – A Middle Eastern salad made from fresh parsley, bulgur wheat, lemon or lime juice and tomatoes. Mjadra – A Mid-Eastern dish of cooked lentils, rice and caramelized onions. Pasta Fagoli – A traditionally meatless Italian dish of pasta and beans.

THE WINE GUY, FROM PAGE 13
If you haven’t tried Ohio’s own St. Joseph’s Vineyards 2007 Grand River Valley Pinot Noir from the Pinot Vista Vineyard, you’re in for a real treat. They make a fine Cote de Beaune style of Pinot Noir that rivals the best that Burgundy has to offer. by a spicy clean finish make this another great wine to stock up on for cookouts. Also on Jan. 9, I stopped by Wine Styles in Howland for a sampling of South American wines. The Los Primos 2007 Chardonnay ($12.99) from San Rafael, Argentina, offers gobs of sweet peach, apple and melon flavors followed by a silky finish. Grilled chicken would be my first choice with this easy-drinking white. Another favorite being poured at this tasting was the 2007 Chaman Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah Reserva ($15.99) from Chile. This tasty blend offers intense dark fruit flavors with a long, textured finish. A hearty beef stew would be a great accompaniment for this bold red. Vintage Estate Wine and Beer’s third Saturday tasting had two value-priced wines that really stood out this month. The Four Vines 2008 Naked Chardonnay ($10.99) exhibits pure bright citrus flavors without a touch of oak to stand in the way. This is a great Chardonnay for every occasion. Also from Four Vines is their 2007 Old Vine Cuvee Zinfandel ($9.99). This is an incredible value for a well-crafted Old Vine Zin. Opulent plummy fruit flavors followed by a toasty mocha-tinged finish make this a great buy for someone looking for an everyday red that won’t break the budget. Next, I traveled to Charlie’s Premier Wines in Howland for their alternating Saturday afternoon wine taste. A really nice red that stood out was the 2006 Huntington Petite Sirah ($14.99) from California. This is California Petite Sirah at its best. Big chunky red fruit flavors followed by a spicy pepper-tinged finish made me think how nicely it would go with grilled lamb chops. Another Petite Sirah that grabbed my attention was the Vignalta 2006 Agno Tinto Rosso de Veneto ($35) from northern Italy – a true rarity. This Petite Sirah is simply delicious. Lush velvety red fruit flavors and a finish that goes on forever make this a wine everyone should try. This would be a great gift for wine aficionados who think they’ve tried everything. If you haven’t tried Ohio’s own St. Joseph’s Vineyards 2007 Grand River Valley Pinot Noir from the Pinot Vista Vineyard,
you’re in for a real treat. They make a fine Cote de Beaune style of Pinot Noir that rivals the best that Burgundy has to offer. Crisp, supple fruit flavors are followed by a spicy, cinnamon-tinged finish. Our north coast vintners are fast closing the quality gap with the rest of the world, and may surpass them in the near future.

Wh cabin When bi fever f strikes, t ik it’s time to hit the road!
W
ith the winter doldrums at their peak, it’s time to take a road trip. In the next few months “Homeplate with Casey Malone” will bring you some delicious diversions in our region to help you blow the stink off. February is maple tree tapping time in Burton, Ohio. Saturday, Feb. 13 is the tapping ceremony, with maple candy demonstrations and other displays. Sunday, Feb. 21 kicks off the Burton pancake breakfasts that are held each Sunday through the end of March. For more information on times and locations, go to www.burtonchamberofcommerce.org. Cleveland’s Westside Market is one of my favorite destinations. The vendors sell an abundance of ethnic specialties, fresh produce and exotic spices. I love the variety of pastries, cheeses, seafood, poultry, meats and sausages. “Homeplate” viewers will meet the colorful personalities that make the Westside Market such a unique place. While in Cleveland, “Homeplate” will visit Nate’s Restaurant, Sushi Rock and The Baricelli Inn. Each place is delicious and interesting and well worth the drive. Nate’s is around the corner from the Westside Market and serves up Mediterranean offerings at affordable prices. Sushi Rock has incredibly fresh sushi and prime aged steaks served in stylish surroundings. The Baricelli Inn sets the standard for fine dining in Cleveland’s Little Italy neighborhood. Last but not least, Valentine’s Day is coming. Locally, we have lots of items for your sweetie – with many gift ideas coming from “Homeplate” sponsors and underwriters. Fun Flavored Fudge in Warren has every flavor and color imaginable, perfect for the fudge-lover or special child in your life. Of course, everyone appreciates wine, champagne or craft beers. Vintage Estates Wine and Beer has a dizzying selection of each. VE’s Phill Reda will help you with your selection and don’t forget to throw in locally made Brix Chocolate with your wine purchase; it’s made to complement every type of wine. Catullo Prime Meats is preparing Valentine’s Day gift boxes for your love that eats with gusto. Catullo’s also carries Tropea’s Biscotti, perfect for dessert. Preparing a special meal? Rulli Brothers Markets carry an extensive selection of specialty food items and if you have no time to cook, the Boardman location has prepared foods ready to take home and serve. The way to a person’s heart is through their stomach, show your loved one how much you care with some great locally made items. I’ll see you on Saturday at 7 a.m. on WYTV and Sunday mornings at 11:30 a.m. on MyYTV. Thank you for watching “Homeplate with Casey Malone” and thanks for all the appreciative comments and e-mails.
