ning court case in 2010. As a result, the Swanston Fund has introduced new and more effective grant making procedures, added an educational component and expanded the 91-year-old fund’s footprint into Trumbull County. Becoming a supporting organization of the Community Foundation in October, the William Swanston Fund will make its first set of grants under the new parameters at mid-year. Trustees of the Swanston Fund are Paul Dutton,

COMMUNITY JOURNAL Public Library to expand service hours in April

ue to a successful levy campaign last November, the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County will soon be expanding its hours of service. The Library began working on the expansion of hours shortly after the levy passed and has created a schedule which is ready to begin in April, although the exact starting date has not yet been set. “We are pleased to be able to expand hours of service. We know that having our libraries open and accessiDuring ble is so important to our months patrons and our commuwhen the nity,” says Carlton Sears, Library was Library director. The process of arriving losing state at a schedule of hours infunds in cluded making sure the Li2009, hours brary had the staff in place were cut to cover additional hours. twice. During months when the Library was losing state funds in 2009, hours were cut twice. Additionally, 30 staffers lost jobs due to budget cuts. This left the Library system short-staffed for an expansion of hours. “We will announce a starting date in April as soon as possible,” Sears said. “As part of preparing for this expansion of hours, we are adding and training staff and this is still in progress.” When hours were cut, Main Library lost two nights per week and many branches lost a full day of service. Main’s evenings will be restored, as will the full days lost at major locations. For example, Poland, Newport and Sebring libraries will regain Monday hours; Austintown, Boardman, Brownlee Woods, Campbell, Canfield, and Struthers regain Friday hours; East and Springfield regain Thursdays; and West regains Wednesdays. Hours will be expanded by 17.5 percent, with 109 hours of service being added weekly. This will bring the total number of hours libraries are open system-wide to 787. Sunday hours are not changed in this version, as they run between September and May. Sunday hours will be reviewed for the coming fall schedule. Poland Library remains open on Sundays from 1-5 p.m. until Memorial Day.

The theme of this program will be determined by the committee, but it will focus on improving the health of women and how women can reduce their risk of cancer. Adult volunteers are needed to help organize the event by serving on the committee, to model clothing provided by E.J. Hannah and to perform a variety of tasks the day of the event.

MAHONING VALLEY

Ex-Delphi buildings stand as reminders of Packard era BY GORDY MORGAN METRO MONTHLY STAFF WRITER

hree former Delphi Packard buildings, once part of the holdings of Packard Electric but idle since 2006, were sold for an undisclosed amount in late January to Sergio DiPoalo, owner of DiPaolo Industrial Developers, LLC. The buildings were once part of a sprawling complex that had housed the world headquarters of Packard Electric, and, in earlier years, were associated with the Packard Motor Car Company. The buildings, constructed of brick and reinforced concrete, are located on Dana and Griswold streets north of downtown Warren. This industrial site was an outgrowth of the ingenuity of two of Warren’s betterknown citizens and industrial pioneers – brothers James Ward and William Doud Packard. In 1882, William, the elder, left The Ohio State University after one year and returned home to become involved in his father’s hardware business as a bookkeeper and salesman. Two years later, at age 20, James graduated from Pennsylvania’s Lehigh University with a mechanical engineering degree and set about to put what he learned into practice. Local historian Wendell F. Lauth, who has studied the Packard family, said that James took a job at with the SawyerMann Electric Company in New York and quickly rose through the ranks until “he was running that plant.” He said William also worked at the company, in the administrative end of the business. According to historical accounts, the brothers took the experience and knowledge acquired at Sawyer-Mann and brought it back to Warren, Ohio where they eventually formed their own company. Apparently, money was not a problem at first for the Packard brothers because their father, Warren, had many successful businesses in the city. Lauth speculated that Warren Packard encouraged his sons to return home, perhaps to take advantage of recent industrial developments in their town. “In 1890 they were getting ready to establish the first electric generating plant in Warren and he could see the future of the electrical era coming in,” Lauth said. The Packard brothers grasped that future and didn’t let go, becoming famous not only in their hometown of Warren, but throughout the world.

His father, William, was the son of Thomas Packard, and the first of the family to settle in the Western Reserve, coming here from Washington County, Pa. in 1801. Thomas was a farmer, but apparently took an interest in community service. In April of 1802, at a citizens’ meeting held at the public house of Judge William Rayen, he was elected one of nine supervisors of highways for the civil township of Youngstown, which included nine other adjacent townships. Other prominent pioneers present that day were George Tod, who served as the township clerk, and James Hillman, who was elected constable. It was Warren Packard’s father, William, who eventually brought the family to northern Trumbull County. He settled in Lordstown in 1834 and became its first postmaster. Warren Packard’s mother was Julia Leach, whose father, Benjamin Leach, was a descendent of Francis Cooke, a passenger on the Mayflower. Warren Packard moved to Warren in 1846, carrying on his back, as one family history noted, “everything he owned in a cotton handkerchief.” A relative helped him get a job with Milton Graham, who owned an iron and hardware business in

The Packard name – well-known in Warren since before the Civil War – allowed the brothers to build upon the successful business reputation of their father. Warren. That first year, it was said that he worked long hours as a clerk. On Saturdays, he would drive a team between Warren, Niles, and Youngstown buying nails and iron for Graham’s store. Packard continued to work in the store after Graham sold it to Charles Harmon. Then, in 1851, he finally began working for himself when he formed a partnership with Harmon, creating the Warren Packard Company. Packard became sole owner in 1853, when he bought out his partner. Warren Packard married his first wife, Sylvia Camp, in 1852, a union which produced two sons. However, the Packards lost son Harry at 10 months and Rollo at two years of age. Finally, in 1856, Sylvia succumbed to illness and died. In the years that followed his wife’s death, Packard’s iron and hardware businesses continued to grow so that by 1863 he was the owner and operator of the largest iron and

The roots of the Packards

The Packard name – well-known in Warren since before the Civil War – allowed the brothers to build upon the successful business reputation of their father. Warren Packard was born in Austintown on June 1, 1828, when that pioneer township was still part of Trumbull County.

hardware business between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Packard remarried in 1856, this time to Mary E. Doud, granddaughter of Captain James Doud, who commanded a company of cavalry in the War of 1812. Warren and Mary had five children together: daughters Alaska, Carlotta and Olive and sons William Doud and James Ward. Around this time, William Packard began to diversify his business interests. Lauth said Packard founded a lumber business locally in 1861-1862 and eventually expanded operations into western Pennsylvania and New York, adding that the company supplied much of the lumber used in building the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad. Warren Packard died on July 28, 1897. The founding of Packard Electric and the Packard Motor Car Company

On June 4, 1890, James W. and William D. Packard and six other shareholders signed the articles of incorporation forming the Packard Electric Company. The articles, in part, read: “… said corporation is formed for the purpose of manufacturing, purchasing and dealing in machinery, electrical appliances, and supplies, do a general manufacturing business, supply power and electricity for light and other purposes and to do all things requisite for the convenient prosecution of said business for profit.” The company started business in a twostory, wood-frame building on North Avenue (present-day North Park Avenue) and had 10 employees. Lauth believes that the elder Packard helped advance his sons’ first business venture by supplying raw materials. “The lumber was coming out of the Packard Lumber Yard,” Lauth said. For tax purposes, the company was incorporated in West Virginia. In the early years of the automobile industry – before the introduction of car dealerships – customers had to return to the manufacturing plant for repairs. Lauth said that James Ward Packard “being a stickler for good mechanical detail,” followed this procedure with his Winton automobile – over and over. “He kept taking the car back.” The story, which may or may not be true, goes that during one trip to the Winton Motor Carriage Company of Cleveland, James Packard, wishing to make a few constructive suggestions to owner Alexander Winton, was told: “If you know so much about these horseless carriages, why don’t you go back to Warren and build your own!” During his numerous trips to Cleveland, James Packard got to know George Weiss, a major investor in Winton’s company.

William A. Hatcher and William Doud Packard, Weiss and James Packard set out to actualize the younger Packard’s ideas. On November 7, 1899, the Warren Tribune simply reported that “The automobile completed by W.D. Packard was given a first test this morning. It proved satisfactory in every particular. It was expected the car would make 30 miles an hour and it can easily go 35 miles. This successful completion of the machine will probably mean a factory for automobiles in this city.” A second Packard automobile was completed in May of 1900. The editors of Horseless Carriage, a trade paper of the day, wrote in their May 16 edition that the Packards’ car was “solidly built to endure high speeds on rough roads, and workmanship is thorough and first class.” Packard had indeed built a better car. The four original manufacturers of the Packard “horseless carriage” and a fifth man, James P. Gilbert, established the Ohio Automobile Company on Sept. 10, 1900. An initial stock sale raised $100,000 and shares were divided as follows: James and William Packard, 33 shares each; George Weiss, 32 shares; and Hatcher and Gilbert, one share each. Henry B. Joy and Detroit

Eventually the Ohio Automobile Company drew the attention of Detroit capitalist Henry B. Joy, who bought 100 shares of OAC stock in November of 1901, and another 150 in December. Later in 1902, after being strapped for cash, the Packards offered a substantial amount of shares for sale. This would be a turning point for the company. Joy persuaded a group of investors to invest in the Packards and took control of the company in 1903. He changed the firm’s name to the Packard Motor Car Company and moved operations to Detroit. James Packard stayed on as president, but this act was largely ceremonial. Joy and his “Princes of Griswold Street” had control over the company’s day-to-day operations, especially since the Packards preferred to stay in Warren. James Packard resigned as president in 1909 and was replaced by Joy, and took on a new, if equally powerless, role of chairman of the board until 1915. The company existed until 1958, until continued losses from Studebaker, a sister company, pulled Packard under. However, the Packard brothers kept control of their electrical company, which had begun manufacturing cable for the automotive industry. Lauth said the Packards owned Packard Electric until 1915, when they sold their controlling interest to Newton Wolcott. The company enjoyed success under Wolcott’s leadership until 1932 when General Motors bought Packard Electric. Wolcott served as general manager for a year until he died in 1933. In 1995 the company was renamed Delphi Packard Electric Systems and was spun off from GM in 1999. In its heyday, Packard Electric became the world’s leading manufacturer of automotive, appliance and aircraft wiring assemblies and employed 6,500 workers.

Wine and Dine Ohio hosts inaugural event

QUICK

anuary heralded a number of fine wine events, both new and old. The annual St. Maron’s Wine Fest of Jan. 22 was spectacular, and the inaugural Wine and Dine Ohio tasting exceeded all expectations. A capacity crowd of eager wine aficionados gathered at Alberini’s in Niles on Jan. 20 (during a heavy snowstorm) to taste five different wines and sample a selection of fine foods from Chookie Alberini’s kitchen. The first wine offered was Washington State’s Mercer Vineyards 2008 Pinot Gris. Citrusy melon and herb flavors produce a rich creamy wine that that was paired to the recommended Great Lakes Walleye alla Limone. The flaky textured walleye proved to be a fine match for Mercer’s Pinot Gris. The second wine offered was the French 2009 Le Bel Ange from Domaine Begude. An interesting blend of 85 percent Chardonnay and 15 percent Chenin Blanc, the Le Bel Ange paired very well with Alberini’s classic chicken Milanese with creamy garlic risotto. Light bodied with crisp vibrant fruit flavors, it was well received by the diners ordering the chicken Milanese. As people entered the tasting area, they were offered a flute glass of Monmoss-

eau Non-Vintage Brut Cuvee Sparkling Rose from the Touraine region of the

French Loire. Chef Doug Webb’s grilled veal porterhouse was chosen to go with the delicious Monmousseau sparkler. Focused raspberry fruit flavors and a laser-sharp finish worked beautifully with the scrumptious porterhouse drizzled in a sun-dried tomato pesto. Our fourth wine was the Mahoning Valley’s own Nannicola Imports’ Cabernet Sauvignon from California. Lush upfront berry and dark fruit flavors followed by a supple finish give the drinker the impression of a much more expensive wine than the $11.99 price. Alberinis’ signature eggplant Parmesan was just the answer for this smooth-tasting Cab. Our last wine was the Mercer 2008 Dead Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon

from the Horse Heaven Hills area of Washington. Ripe blackberry and spice flavors follow to a supple finish tinged with a hint of oak. Alberini’s rich strip steak Siciliana topped with smoked provolone was our choice for this cool-climate Cab from Washington state. This combination provided to be a hit with many of the attendees.

he Regional Chamber and business owner Kristin Sailor will host a ceremonial ribbon cutting at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 1 for Maggies Magic Muffin House, 5416 Mahoning Ave., Austintown. The newest Maggies Magic Muffin House specializes in jumbo gourmet muffins, offering more than 70 varieties, as well as breakfast, coffees and deli-style lunches. All of the muffins and menu items are made fresh daily. In 1995, Kristin Sailor started making muffins out of her home and sold them wholesale to gas stations, delis and coffeehouses in the region. The company was named after Kristin and Tom Sailor’s then newly arrived daughter, Maggie. The business quickly grew, and soon Kristin Sailor partnered with her mother, Marge Collins, and the two opened Maggies Magic Muffin House in Boardman on Feb. 22, 1999. Since then, the restaurant has become a local favorite. The Austintown shop, like the Boardman location, is located in a house.

10k grant to provide food for students on weekends

eeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger relief organization, last month awarded a grant of $10,000 to Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley to support BackPack Programs at three local elementary schools. The BackPack Program is a national program of Feeding America through which children receive a bag of nutritious, child-friendly food each Friday to ensure they are not going hungry over the weekends. Currently, Second Harvest Food Bank provides food to 300 children each week through the BackPack Program. The grant was made available through Feeding America from ONEXONE, which provided the funding.

ROTKRAUT (RED CABBAGE)

HOMEPLATE HOMESTYLE

RECIPE BY HELGA WENGLER Helga will demonstrate how to make this classic German side dish during the upcoming season of “Homeplate Homestyle,” which Metro Monthly is producing for local television for 2011.

KITCHEN CLASSICS

PORK STUFFED WITH SQUASH & SWISS CHARD

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

RECIPE BY MITCH LYNCH

2 to 3 lbs. red cabbage (shredded)

Valentine’s Day is Feb. 14. What could be more romantic than roast pork loin stuffed with butternut squash and rainbow Swiss chard?

2 tart apples (cored and chopped)

Mitch will demonstrate how to make this elegant dish during the upcoming season of “Homeplate Homestyle,” which Metro Monthly is producing for local television this spring.

1 Tsp. salt

In addition, look for an informational podcast this spring on www. metromonthly.net, where Mitch will instruct viewers on the proper way to secure a roast with butcher’s twine. The following recipe serves 15.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED 1 boned pork loin 1 large butternut squash (skinned and cut into1/4 inch by 3-4 inch sticks) 1 bunch Swiss chard Salt and black pepper 2 feet of butcher’s twine

For the brine: 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup sea salt (Kosher salt also works well) 1 quart water 3 whole sage leaves 1 sprig of thyme

Serves 4-6.

1 medium onion chopped 1 bay leaf

2 Tbs. shortening or minced bacon METRO MONTHLY ELECTRONIC IMAGE | RON FLAVIANO

More from the ‘Homeplate Homestyle’ studio kitchen: Mitch’s roast pork loin (stuffed with rainbow Swiss chard and butternut squash), served with Helga’s braised red cabbage. Yummo. 3 bay leaves

HOW TO MAKE IT • Cut pork loin into two equal portions, brine, and place in a container overnight (approximately nine to 12 hours). • Rinse pork and discard brine. • Take one piece of pork and butterfly. (Cut lengthwise into the middle of the meat from the side to 1/2 inch from the other side). Lay the whole piece of meat open like a sheet of paper. Salt and pepper. • Blanch the Swiss chard in boiling water – just enough to wilt the large leaves. (You may need three large leaves to cover all but an inch from the border.) Remove the spines from the chard as they can be tough. • Lay the butternut squash sticks end-toend down the center of the chard (three or four pieces in a bunch). • Wrap the chard around the squash. Lightly salt and pepper. Fold the meat around the chard and squash.

• With the butcher’s twine, work from one end of the roast to the other. Tie a loop around the top and all the way down. Remember to tie off both ends. Repeat with the other piece. • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees and lay the roast fat side up in the pan. (The roast should take about 15 minutes per pound before its done, or approximately 3-4 hours for a traditional 185 degrees.) I like to remove the roast at 165 degrees and let it settle on the table. By allowing the roast to rest, you will find that it slices nicely. You’ll also get an amazing color. The pan drippings may be saved and used for a pan gravy. Remember that the brining will give the meat a pinker hue. (You’re safe at 165 degrees and up!) Yields 15 healthy portions.

½ cup white vinegar 1 cup water 1 Tbs. brown sugar

HOW TO MAKE IT • Heat shortening in an Dutch oven. If you use bacon, let it melt but not brown. • Add onions and slowly sauté till golden brown. • Add the brown sugar and the shredded cabbage, apples and bay leaf. • Braise over low heat. Pour vinegar over the kraut and add salt. Stir and mix thoroughly. • Add the water and cover the pot. Slowly simmer for 1 ½ to 2 hours or until cabbage is tender. Add more water, sugar and vinegar as needed. Serves 4-6.
