VALLEY UDPATE Bedford High grad launches ‘Misery Loves Company’ drive By now, many people in the state are aware of Forbes magazine’s ranking of Cleveland as “America’s Most Miserable City.” However, Cleveland was not alone. Four other Ohio cities made the list, with Canton, Akron, Toledo and Youngstown ranking ninth, twelfth, fifteenth, and eighteenth, respectively. Forbes’ “Misery Measure” factored in unemployment, taxes, commute time, violent crime, weather, pollution, political corruption and the records of professional sports teams. In response to the rankings, Bedford High School graduate Alonzo Mitchell III has launched the “Misery Loves Company” campaign.

Survivor urges screenings during colorectal cancer awareness month DEAR EDITOR: am living proof that if cancer is detected early and treated you can survive. March is colorectal cancer awareness month. In most cases screenings can detect if there are polyps or abnormal signs present which could be signs of colorectal cancer. Early detection is the key. Most do not realize it, but colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in the United States. Most colorectal cancer occurs in men and women age 50 and older.
I
But screenings can save your life. If there are polyps or cancer present the key is to find it early, and to have it treated. The majority of people live for many years after their diagnosis if it is found early enough. The big obstacle, however, is that people do not get screened. Often there are no symptoms or early signs of this cancer. That’s why it is crucial for people to get screened. Today, there are a number of screening options available. Your doctor and you should discuss which test is right for you.
LETTERS TO THE EDITIOR Testing does save lives. The success rate for treating and curing colorectal cancer is extremely high. In fact, about 90 percent of the patients who are diagnosed at an early stage when it is easily treatable live at least five years and many live much longer. I know that colorectal cancer is serious.
Please talk to your doctor seriously about getting tested.

Development group names senior program coordinator
K
enya Roberts-Howard Named Senior Program Coordinator for Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation. Kenya Roberts-Howard has been selected to serve as the senior program coordinator for the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation. Roberts-Howard has spent the majority of her career working in various capacities for community organizations in the Mahoning Valley. She has previously served as the assistant director and development director for two local non-profit organizations. According to representatives from the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation, her experience in managing and developing programs, grant writing and working with diverse groups of people make her an ideal choice to manage YNDC’s neighborhood development programs. She has earned a master’s in business administration from Youngstown State University, a master’s in education from Westminster College, and a bachelor’s of science degree in chemical engineering from the University of Cincinnati. “I am very excited to be a part of this self motivated, talented, innovative and progressive thinking team. YNDC has taken on the challenge of leading the revitalization movement in the city of Youngstown, through which we can and will with the help of stakeholders, community partners, and community members renew Youngstown and surrounding neighborhoods to vibrant, flourishing communities,” Roberts-Howard said. Executive Director Presley Gillespie added, “As YNDC continues to build a high capacity neighborhood development organization with talented staff, Kenya is an outstanding addition to our team. Her high level of experience in fiscal planning, grant writing and implementation of community programming will be a huge asset to YNDC and the Youngstown community. She also brings a strong passion, as well as professional skills that will benefit our youth and educational institutions. We are thrilled to have her on our team.” The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation is a neighborhood development organization launched in February 2009 in partnership with the city of Youngstown and Raymond John Wean Foundation to catalyze strategic neighborhood reinvestment in neighborhoods throughout the city of Youngstown. The YNDC will focus intervention on three neighborhoods in 2010, including a comprehensive demonstration project in the Idora Neighborhood. The YNDC has a $1.6 million operating and programming budget for 2010.
‘MISERY LOVES COMPANY’ – By now, many people in the state are aware of Forbes magazine’s ranking of Cleveland as ‘America’s Most Miserable City.’ However, Cleveland was not alone. Four other Ohio cities made the list, with Canton, Akron, Toledo (pictured above) and Youngstown ranking ninth, twelfth, fifteenth, and eighteenth, respectively. In response to the rankings, Bedford High School graduate Alonzo Mitchell III has launched the ‘Misery Loves Company’ campaign, an effort which will culminate in a series of proCleveland events in the summer.

y now, many people in the state are aware of Forbes magazine’s ranking of Cleveland as “America’s Most Miserable City.” However, Cleveland was not alone. Four other Ohio cities made the list, with Canton, Akron, Toledo and Youngstown ranking ninth, twelfth, fifteenth, and eighteenth, respectively. Forbes’ “Misery Measure” factored in unemployment, taxes, commute time, violent crime, weather, pollution, political corruption and the records of professional sports teams. In response to the rankings, Bedford High School graduate Alonzo Mitchell III has launched the “Misery Loves Company” campaign. Mitchell, who splits his residency between Cleveland and Washington, D.C., is founder and managing partner of Connectors, Mavens & Salesmen, LLC, an Ohio-based marketing communications firm. He is also founder of “Ohio Homecoming,” a drive to establish networking opportunities and strategic partnerships in Cleveland and elsewhere in the state. “I’ve had enough,” said Mitchell in response to the rankings. “Last time I
checked, most of the country is experiencing a lot of the same problems that contributed to the rankings by Forbes. Enough of our cities [are] suffering from low self-esteem due to comments from people or organizations who have not personally experienced the rich culture, history, diversity and beauty that these cities have to offer. But more importantly, enough of Ohioans buying into the propaganda! It is time for Ohioans to stand up and hold their heads high, and be proud of the positive things happening in our cities,” said Mitchell. To counter the affects of Forbes rankings, Mitchell will launch the tonguein-cheek “Misery Loves Company” campaign on Monday, March 1 and is asking all Ohioans to “show their community pride, community wide” by wearing Ohio gear that day. “Wear your favorite sports team shirts, school shirts – anything that celebrates something about Ohio,” said Mitchell. The “Misery Loves Company” campaign also will be celebrated during “Ohio Homecoming Week,” which occurs from July 22 through July 25 in downtown Cleveland. The four-day event will celebrate what state has to offer. For more information, visit http://www/ohiohomecoming.com.

Women’s History Month
St. Elizabeth’s nun ran 2 hospital systems during epidemic of 1918-19 BY NATALIE LARICCIA SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY
S
he was a woman of conviction who continually went beyond the call of duty, handling all that came her way with elegance, grace and dignity. She helped supervise and facilitate the building of the main campus of St. Elizabeth Medical Center – one of Youngstown’s main hospitals, laying the groundwork for a state-of-the-art facility that amazed even prominent Cleveland Clinic physicians. She played an integral role in Youngstown’s medical services during a catastrophic influenza breakout in 1918 and 1919, and she was a proud supporter of the Youngstown community, also serving as a community leader and historian. On the cusp of St. Elizabeth’s 100year anniversary in 2011, and just in time for Women’s History Month, the Metro Monthly examines the triumphs of Sister Genevieve Downey of Humility of Mary, a courageous woman whose influence and stamina serves as inspiration for many future female leaders. Born in 1863 in England, Sister Downey was raised in Sharon, Pa. Although official records were not found, Humility of Mary staff located notes that listed Sister Genevieve as beginning her studies at Sacred Heart Church in nearby Sharon. Sister Genevieve was passionate about the arts and music and taught music at several Youngstown and Cleveland area schools before she was assigned to the leadership of St. Elizabeth Hospital in 1911, said Sister Marie Ruegg, senior vice president of mission integration and post-acute services at Humility of Mary Health Partners. At that time, St. Elizabeth’s was Youngstown’s newest health care facility, and the Bishop John P. Farrelly of the Cleveland Diocese endorsed the proposal of adding a Catholic hospital in Youngstown, asking the Sisters of the Humility of Mary to oversee the facility. Charged with this new responsibility, Sister Genevieve began making immediate plans for a hospital run by Sisters of the Humility of Mary. She converted three Belmont Avenue residences into hospital facilities, renovating each residence into a 30-bed hospital, a sisters’ residence, and an employee residence, respectively. From the day Sister Genevieve took leadership of the project, she was able to engage almost help from everyone, said Sister Ruegg. “It was her stamina, her strength, her

Owsley, a prominent opening of the new 200-bed St. Elizabeth Youngstown architect, was hired to design hospital, which is now the north building on Belmont Avenue. An open house was held the drawings. Sister Genevieve visited several hospitals on Jan. 31, 1915, with crowds lining up on around the country to gather ideas for the Belmont Avenue to see the new facility. Sister Genevieve left St. Elizabeth’s in new facility. She shared what she learned with Rev. Maurice Griffin – one of St. 1916 after she was elected as General SuElizabeth’s organizers – and she, Griffin, perior of the Sisters of the Humility of

Mary. Sister Geraldine Cantillon succeeded her as the head of St. Elizabeth’s, but Cantillon contracted the flu virus during the 1918-19 epidemic and was unable to work. Sister Genevieve, now Mother Genevieve, returned to St. Elizabeth’s to help see the hospital through the crisis. During the epidemic, Mother Genevieve not only ran St. Elizabeth’s, but also she maintained an emergency hospital in that was located in then-South High School. Paul Bunn, who was then serving as administrator of the Youngstown Hospital Association died from the virus, and YHA trustees approached Mother Genevieve for help. With her dedicated spirit, she diligently divided her time between St. Elizabeth’s and City Hospital, leading both hospitals through the crisis, Sister Ruegg said. “Sister Genevieve’s courage was especially commendable with her efforts assisting the Youngstown-area citizens during the 1918-1919 flu epidemic,” said Bill Lawson, executive director of the Mahoning Valley Historical Society. In a history of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, it was reported that “each morning a car would pull up in front of St. Elizabeth’s” to take Mother Genevieve to the City Hospital. In an undated interview, Sister Thecla McManamon said that Mother Genevieve “would go out and get in and they would drive her over to Youngstown Hospital!” to her additional duties. Mother Genevieve died April 26, 1943 at age 80, but her spirit was not forgotten. Nearly 67-years-later, her memory continues to guide Humility of Mary Health Partners on a steady path of continued growth and success. In 2007, HMHP opened the St. Elizabeth Boardman campus, an acute care facility at 8401 Market St. “What an example she was of what she was able to accomplish, and her love of the local community. She was able to engage people for the support of health services for people in the community. It was the idea that she didn’t do it alone. What a role model for today for health care providers to work together,” said Sister Ruegg. Lawson said Mother Genevieve is a true testament of the women in history who were dedicated to religious and community service. “They lived their vocation, and we are inspired and benefit from what they do,” Lawson said. “Obviously, she was very talented and had great stamina and was able to advance and to lead with St. Elizabeth’s Hospital,” Lawson added.

Reversal of Misfortune? Aggressive lowering cholesterol may prevent hardening of arteries in diabetics FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH
A
ggressively lowering cholesterol and blood pressure levels below current targets in adults with type 2 diabetes may help to prevent – and possibly reverse – hardening of the arteries, according to research supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health. Hardening of the arteries, also known as atherosclerosis, is the number one cause of heart disease and can lead to heart attack, stroke and death. The three-year study of 499 participants is the first to compare two treatment targets for LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and systolic blood pressure levels, key risk factors for heart disease, in people with diabetes. “This study provides good news for adults with type 2 diabetes,” said Elizabeth G. Nabel, M.D., NHLBI director. “These patients are two to four times more likely than people without diabetes to die from heart disease. For the first time, we have evidence that aggressively lowering LDL cholesterol and blood pressure can actually reverse damage to the arteries in middle-aged adults with diabetes.” In the Stop Atherosclerosis in Native Diabetics Study (or SANDS), approximately one-half of the participants (247) were asked to lower to standard levels their LDL cholesterol (to 100 milligrams per deciliter) and blood pressure (systolic blood pressure of 130 mmHg or lower), while the other half (252) aimed for more aggressive lowering of LDL cholesterol to 70 mg/dL or lower and of systolic blood pressure to 115 mmHg or lower. All participants were American Indians 40 years or older (average age of 56) who had diabetes, high blood cholesterol, and high blood pressure but no history of heart attack or other evidence of heart disease. The study was conducted at four clinical centers in southwestern Oklahoma; Phoenix, Ariz.; northeastern Arizona; and South Dakota. All participants continued to receive their medical care, including diabetes management, dietary and exercise counseling, and smoking cessation, from their health care providers with the Indian Health Service. Like the NIH, the Indian Health Service is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “American Indians have a high rate of diabetes and cardiovascular disease related to diabetes, but there are few clinical trials that address these issues in this population,” said Barbara V. Howard,
Ph.D., of MedStar Research Institute in Hyattsville, Md., lead author of the paper. “These study results provide needed evidence to help develop communitybased programs to treat and prevent the epidemic of cardiovascular disease among American Indians. At the same time, we are increasing our understanding of the effects of intensively lowering cholesterol and blood pressure in adults with type 2 diabetes, which might also apply to other populations.” During the study, participants were examined by study clinicians one month after enrollment, then every three months, to assess their blood cholesterol and blood pressure levels and general well being. Food and Drug Administration-approved blood pressure and cholesterol medications were added and adjusted as needed to help participants achieve their treatment goals. The same medications were available to participants in the standard and the aggressive treatment groups. Participants were also encouraged to follow lifestyle approaches to help meet their blood pressure and cholesterol treatment targets, such as following a heart-healthy eating plan, being physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking. To assess the impact of the treatments on the participants’ cardiovascular health, researchers used ultrasound to measure the thickness of the carotid (neck) artery – an indication of hardening of the arteries, a leading effect of high blood pressure and cholesterol and an early sign of cardiovascular disease. In addition, ultrasound was also used to measure the size and function of the left ventricle, the heart’s main pumping chamber. Enlarged hearts are known to be predictors of increased risk of heart
attack and stroke. These measurements were taken at enrollment, at 18 months, and at 36 months, when the study ended. On average, participants in both groups reached and maintained their target goals for blood cholesterol and blood pressure levels. The numbers of heart attacks and other cardiovascular events were similar between the two groups and lower than expected. In addition, carotid artery thickness measurements of participants in the aggressive treatment group were significantly lower than those in the standard treatment group. Researchers report that, compared to baseline, carotid artery thickness increased slightly in the standard group and regressed in the aggressive treatment group, indicating a partial reversal of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, although heart size decreased from baseline in both groups, the beneficial change was significantly greater among participants in the aggressive treatment group. “Many patients with diabetes do not reach their blood pressure and cholesterol goal levels and thus remain at high risk for heart attacks and stroke,” noted Howard. “In our study, participants successfully managed their blood cholesterol and blood pressure to reach their goal levels. Our message to doctors, nurses, and patients is that you can reach your goal levels, and we should work together to help you do that.” “These encouraging findings from SANDS suggest that more aggressive blood pressure and cholesterol targets than those currently recommended in patients with diabetes may reduce their future cardiovascular risk,” said Jerome L. Fleg, M.D., NHLBI project officer of the study and a coauthor of the paper. “Longer term followup of this population as well as additional studies in other populations are needed to confirm the benefit and cost-effectiveness of these lower targets.”

Foul weather proves no match for cabin fever at recent events
F
ebruary is our shortest month, but there was an abundance of fine wine events all over the Mahoning Valley. The foul weather seemed to fuel a burning cabin fever, as every event I attended was sold out. I was invited to Five Points Wine and Bar for a unique Valentine’s weekend dinner taste (Feb. 12 and 13). Guests were presented with a choice of strawberry-walnut salad or Caesar salad aux Lardons followed by filet Wellington, crab-stuffed shrimp, pan-seared Chilean sea bass or osso bucco. Lavender-infused crème brulee or Brix chocolate fondue was offered for dessert. My companion and I chose the sea bass and the strawberry walnut salad. We paired this delicious dish with a bottle of Four Vines Naked Chardonnay 2008 (unoaked) from Santa Barbara County. This was a fantastic pairing. The crisp pure Chardonnay fruit flavors were just the answer for the rich sea bass entrée. We finished our dinner with a half bottle of DuvalLeroy Rose Champagne. Light salmon in color with a rich Pinot fruit nose, it was a heavenly finish to a wonderful night of dining and music. Owner Bob Bindas said that they want to make this type of dinner a regular feature. Five Points is a wonderful destination for someone looking for unique wines and delicious food to pair with it. On Feb. 11, I attended Vernon’s Cafe’s Mardi Gras festival of wine and food. I’m always astonished at the array of food that Vernon’s provides for this event. Trays of antipasto, imported cheeses and meats followed by crawfish Imperial, andouille sausage, balsamic-glazed salmon, smoked salmon, blackened grouper, oysters Rockefeller, roasted prime sirloin, battered smelts and assorted trays of pasta were presented. My first wine choice was the 2008 Taft Street Gewurztraminer from Mendocino. Exotic spicy fruit flavors followed by a long crisp finish made this a fine partner for the crawfish Imperial. Another fine white at this event was the 2007 Sonoma Cutrer Russian River Ranches Chardonnay. This was textbook Chardonnay at its best. Creamy, citrus fruit flavors and a long toasty finish had me asking for another helping of smoked salmon. A red that really stood out at this event was the Renwood 2006 Barbera ($10.99) from the Sierra foothills of California. Medium bodied with bold, spicy fruit flavors, it was a perfect match for the andouille sausage. At this price, this red should be on everyone’s list for summer cookouts. Another smooth-tasting red was the 2007 Frog’s Leap Zinfandel
bisque. The second course which is always a favorite of mine, consisted of organic beets, yellow carrot and papaya drizzled with acai Amazon Banfi’s vinaigrette. 2008 La Rime Tuscan IGT blend of Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay was a fine match for this summer-style salad. Homemade salmon cakes served on English muffins with Muenster cheese was paired to a 2008 Stoneleigh Pinot Noir
from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. The bright crisp fruit flavors and creamy spice-tinged finish of this lightbodied Pinot was simELECTRONIC IMAGE COURTESY OF JOHN WEBSTER ply wonderful with Karen Wydick and Bob Bindas of Five Points Wine and Bar at the salmon cakes. their recent Evening of Romance.

from Napa Valley. This lush red is a field blend of mostly Zin and Petite Sirah. Bold spice-tinged berry fruit flavors were a fine match for the roasted prime sirloin. My last pick was mentioned in last month’s column, but it was a big hit at this tasting, too. Tamas’ Double Decker Red was just the answer for many of the food offerings. The crawfish Imperial was a natural choice for this bold but smooth-tasting red. The Mardi Gras festival is an annual event at Vernon’s and if you like New Orleans-style food, this is just the answer for someone looking for a break from our long winter season. My final dinner tasting was at Boardman’s Springfield Grille on Feb. 23. Once again, Chef Nick Mileto prepared a scrumptious five-course dinner featuring wines from around the world. New Zealand’s 2008 Brancott Sauvignon Blanc was served with a creamy crab bisque and eggplant fries for the first course. This crisp white with its upfront gooseberry fruit flavors was just the right touch the rich crab

was served with this dish. The Ridge Zin is produced with 100 percent fruit from Dry Creek Valley. Lush berry and plum fruit flavors made the chicken and goat cheese simply melt in your mouth. For dessert, an almond tower of chocolate mousse drizzled in a syrup of strawberries, cherries and blackberries was paired to a 2004 Sartori Merlot from Italy’s Friuli wine region. Rich berry fruit flavors and a supple finish worked very nicely with the semi-sweet chocolate mousse. My first store tasting took me to Michael Charles Premier Wines on Elm Road in Warren for their second Saturday wine taste. They always have a great turnout for this event, but February’s inclement weather really brought out a fine group of wine aficionados. My first pick was the 2008 Hogue Columbia Valley Chardonnay ($10.99). This value-priced Washington State Chardonnay just oozes silky citrus fruit flavors. Tilapia and garden-roasted vegetables would be a fine choice for this crisp white. My next pick was the 2008 Hayman and Hill Meritage ($14.99) from Monterey County, Calif. This Bordeaux-style blend is an excellent

bargain. I’ve reviewed earlier vintages of this red blend, and I’m just amazed at its consistent reliable value. My next wine stop of the month was at Wine Styles of Howland for a wine and chocolate pairing. At $15.99, the 2007 Hang Time Pinot Noir from California offers loads of bright berry fruit and spice flavors. It matched nicely with the creamy milk chocolate being offered. My next pick was the 2007 Yalumba Y Series Shiraz ($10.99). The Y Series is a blend of Shiraz and a smidgen of Viognier (for bouquet), producing a spicy bold fruitforward red that should drink well with our upcoming summer barbecues. The Y Series of wines have always been consistent performers. Boardman’s Vintage Estate Wine and Beer was my next stop for their third Saturday of the month tasting. All the wines at this tasting were great, but two really stood out. The Olssen 2006 Gewurztraminer ($14.99) from New Zealand’s central Otago region was extraordinary. Peach and lychee fruit flavors and a finish of heather and black tea made me think I was sampling a fine Alsatian Gewurztraminer (which would cost twice as much). Asian-style food or Gulf Coast Mexican fare would work nicely with this New Zealand white. If you’re looking for a fantastic Zinfandel – rush to Phill Reda’s shop and purchase a bottle of Barclay and Browning’s Lake County Zinfandel ($15.99, regularly $22). Lush dusty dark fruit flavors and a finish that lasts forever make this SEE THE WINE GUY, PAGE 18

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. a screaming good bargain. Made from old vines and matured in French oak, this Zin will not disappoint you. My last stop in February was at Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland. As with all my other stops this month, it was overflowing with people eager to sample new wines. St. Joseph’s Vineyard was there with their 2008 Grand River Valley Sauvignon Blanc from the Pinot Vista Vineyard ($15). Stony grapefruit and pear fruit flavors and a razor-like finish made this a wine that was hard to put down. This is another fine example of what our North Coast vintners are producing. I’ll be going to St. Joseph’s and other fine vineyards this summer, and I can’t wait to report on them in detail. Oregon’s Aldelsheim Vineyard 2007 Pinot Noir ($25) from the Willamette Valley was my next choice. In Oregon, 2007 was a lighter-style vintage, but Aldelsheim produced a delicious, delicate fruit-forward Pinot that resembles a fine Cote du Beaune Burgundy. Cellar this Pinot for two to three years, then try it with poached salmon, and I think you’ll be more than delighted. As this was going to press, I was invited to Tri-County Distributors for a tasting of their Beringer Vineyard line. One wine you should know about is Beringer’s 2007 Napa Chardonnay. This delicious Chardonnay is being offered at $13.99 (regularly $19.99) and this would be a great time to stock up on one of Napa’s greatest Chardonnays. Crisp citrus fruit flavors and a textured silky finish will have you wishing you purchased more. Next month, I will report on more of Beringer’s great upcoming wines. Upcoming events include Wine Styles, alternating Thursday and Friday tastings; Charlie’s Premier Wines, alternating Saturdays tastings, Vintage Estate, third Saturday tasting; Michael Charles Premier Wines, second Saturday. The annual Grand River Valley Icewine Festival will be held Saturday, March 6 and 13, featuring five wineries including Debonne Vineyards, Ferrante Winery, Grand River Cellars Winery, Laurello Vineyards, and St. Joseph Vineyards. Admission is $5 to each winery, but if you bring a canned food item for charity, you’ll get $1 off. The Fifth Season will host a winter food and wine taste on Saturday, March 6 at their banquet center in Mineral Ridge; call 330-799-3483 for more information. The Springfield Grille in Boardman will host a beer tasting dinner on Tuesday, March 16. Another upcoming event is the Saturday, April 24 Big Tap-In Festival of craft beers,

M
arch is quite a month. March 17 is my High Holiday – St. Patrick’s Day. I prefer St. Patrick’s Day to any other holiday. Growing up, my father always placed a high priority on celebrating his Irish heritage, and naturally, I followed suit. These days I prefer the lead up to St. Patrick’s Day, which is held the Sunday before the seventeenth. This year, the Mahoning Valley St. Patrick’s Parade is being held on Sunday, March 14. The Mahoning Valley Parade is one of the top 10 in the entire country! Last year, we had tens of thousands of spectators and great weather. This year, the weather may not be as cooperative, but it is winter in Youngstown, Ohio. The state championship high school football teams from Ursuline and Mooney will lead off the parade, accompanied by Bishop George Murry. What a feat it is to have two state champions from the Mahoning Valley. The grand marshal for this year’s parade is Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini. His mother, Ellen Attreed Mancini, is Irish (who knew?) Pat Chrystal is the “Irish Man of the Year” and Carol McGuiness is being honored as “Irish Woman of the Year.” The Lord Mayor of Kilkenny is Rick Billak and this year’s Ockerman Award winner is Joe Illencik Jr. Also being honored is the Thomas and Mary Therese Driscoll family; they will receive the Pat Chrystal Jr. Youth Award. The parade steps off at 1 p.m., at the corner of McClurg Road and Market Street in Boardman and proceeds down Market to Southwoods. Yours truly will emcee the parade from the reviewing stand in front of Johnny’s Restaurant. Please join me for a great community event. March 6 is the “Our Valley Cooks” event. It is being held at Mr. Anthony’s in Boardman. This is the second year for this fundraiser for Meridian Services. It runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and it’s a day filled with recipe competitions, food vendors and a cooking demonstration by Food Network’s Melissa D’Arabian. I will be hosting this event along with Danny Catullo and hope you will join us for a fun and informative day. Tickets are available online at ourvalleycooks.org. Please refer to that Web site for more details and a schedule of events. This month, “Homeplate with Casey Malone” joins Bishop George Murry in the kitchen.
