VALLEY UPDATE community JOURNAL
RESTAURANT GUIDE See what’s new in local dining with our expanded and updated listings for fall : 17-27 rials was also cut, and all staff members, including the director and administrative staff, have taken pay cuts. The situation for 2010 looks grimmer, with another $684,000 in reduced funds from the Public Library Fund expected. Carlton A. Sears, library director, says of the layoffs: “It is tragic that the financial resources to operate the library as we have in the past simply no longer exist. This fact is painful to all of us who struggle with decisions we know will impact people that we consider not just colleagues but friends.” The Library will have a one-mill renewal levy on the November ballot. While necessary, this levy will not bring the Library back to a sufficient level of funding to maintain existing services.
TOWERING AMBITION
Lee Fisher to speak Oct. 8 at Chamber breakfast
L
t. Governor Lee Fisher will visit the Mahoning Valley on Thursday, Oct. 8 to recognize the fastest- growing businesses in the area and give the keynote address at the 17th annual Mahoning Valley Growth Awards Breakfast. The event, which starts at 7:30 a.m. at Mr. Anthony’s in Boardman, is presented by the Regional Chamber and sponsored by Youngstown State University’s Williamson College of Business Administration. The Growth Awards seeks to recognize the vitality, productivity and competitiveness of Mahoning Valley businesses. For more information, or to make reservations, call 330744-2131, ext. 12. Cost is $20 for Chamber members and $25 for non-members. Fisher’s career has spanned the private, public and nonprofit sectors. During the first two years of the Strickland-Fisher administration, he served as the director of the Ohio Department of Development. With more than 17 years in public service, Fisher has served as Ohio attorney general, state senator and state representative. He has worked as a private attorney, public company board director and a law clerk for the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Forum CEO steps down as part bankruptcy strategy
F
Public Library cuts hours in response to budget crisis
A
new schedule of reduced hours began on Sept. 8 at the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County. The schedule was reduced by 113 hours per week. To determine the new structure of hours, administrators studied usage at each location so that libraries could remain open during peak visitation hours. Days and hours open have been staggered between libraries to maintain the best public access. Cuts were made necessary by reductions in the state’s Public Library Fund caused by the downturn in the economy, coupled with additional cuts in state funding in the biennium budget. This is the second cut in hours in 2009. The first reductions were made in May when funds began a sharp downturn. With the passage of the state’s biennium budget, which cut an additional 11 percent from library funding, further reductions in hours were needed. Unlike other states, Ohio’s libraries receive the bulk of their funding through the Public Library Fund, which is comprised of tax receipts. In a bad economy, those receipts decline. This year, Mahoning County’s libraries are expected to lose $1.7 million in state funds. The cuts already made have accounted for most of that amount, but an additional $305,708 in funds remains to be reconciled before Dec. 31 to maintain a balanced budget.
ELECTRONIC IMAGE COURTESY OF UNIVERSITY RELATIONS
Youngstown State University, AT&T, local officials and the community joined together last month to flip the switch on the new-lighted ‘YSU’ logo on top of the 180-foot AT&T tower on the YSU campus. Over the past several weeks, the tower – which can be seen from all approaches to the city of Youngstown – was painted white and topped with lighted letters 8-feet by 20-feet in size, culminating nearly a decade of planning to complete the project. AT&T’s offices of external affairs, planning and design, and property management worked together to assist in completing the project. John Hyden, executive director of facilities, led the project for YSU. Several additional partners have donated about $160,000 to the project through either monetary gifts or in-kind services, including Boardman Steel, Diamond Steel, Dickey Electric, Painters and Allied Trades Union, Jenkins Sign Co., Joe Joseph Painting, and PPG Industries.
The Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County is debt free and the board does not want to incur debt in the operation of the library system. The Public Library has been faced with a steady erosion of funds from 2001 to 2009. Each year, the library loses about $1.8 million in state funding. From 2001 to 2009, that amounts to about $14.4 million. The Public Library has been dealing with those cuts over the years, but this year, the economic downturn and the new state bud-
get resulted in a huge reduction in funds. Ironically, this lack of funds comes at a time when library use is way up, as is traditional when the economy is bad. People are using the free services. Many are using library computers to search and apply for jobs or file for benefits. The cut in hours means less accessibility for those computers, which are in high demand. Last year, public access computers were in use for approximately 480,000 hours. The budget to purchase library mate-
orum Health announced on Sept. 21 that it had reached a resolution to all objection issues raised by its secured lenders during a Sept. 15 hearing before the Bankruptcy Court in Youngstown. As part of this agreement, Forum agreed to the secured lenders’ requirement that an interim chief executive officer with specific healthcare and hospital management experience be hired to replace Walter “Buzz” Pishkur, who will step down as Forum Health president and CEO. Pishkur will continue at Forum as a consultant to the interim CEO, and to its chief restructuring officer. The board believes this resolution provides a clear pathway for an exit from bankruptcy. The interim placement will be followed by a search for a permanent CEO with healthcare experience after Forum has filed its plan of reorganization with the bankruptcy court. At press time, the interim CEO was expected to be in place by the end of September. The board extended its thanks to Pishkur, citing his significant personal sacrifices for the benefit of Forum and the entire community. The board noted that his leadership was key to bringing the organization through a very difficult time, providing both hope and vision for the future. The board also said it is pleased that he will continue to be involved in his new capacity. The board announced that Michael Seelman, chief operating officer of Northside Medical Center, and Bob Wolleben, chief operating officer of Trumbull Memorial Hospital, and Marilyn Titus, vice president and chief operating officer of Hillside Rehabilitation Hospital, will continue in their current capacities. Forum Health’s history dates back to 1881 with the founding of the Youngstown Hospital Association. The association established Youngstown’s first hospital in 1883 and eventually opened Northside Medical Center in 1929. The system evolved into Forum Health in 1997 when Northside Medical Center and the former Tod Children’s Hospital merged with Trumbull Memorial Hospital. SEE VALLEY UPDATE, Page 8

Benefits the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County
NR of Warren recently joined other area animal welfare organizations that list their homeless pets on Petfinder.com, the oldest and largest database of adoptable animals on the Internet. The site currently lists over 320,000 homeless pets, and is frequently updated. More than 13,000 animal welfare organizations in the U.S., Canada, and other countries post their pets on the site. TNR of Warren can be viewed at http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/OH846.html. A potential adopter enters search criteria for the kind of pet he or she wants, and a list is returned that ranks the pets in proximity to the Zip Code entered. (The animal placement group where the pet is housed handles the adoptions and each group has its own policies.) Jared and Betsy Saul created Petfinder.com in 1996 by to end the euthanasia of adoptable pets. Since its inception, the site has facilitated approximately 20 million adoptions, making it the most life-saving initiative in animal welfare. Site sponsors include Animal Rescue; Bissell Homecare, Inc., manufacturer of home cleaning and floor care products; PETCO, a national pet supply retailer; and Merial, manufacturer of Frontline and Heartgard.

Sesquicentennial celebration
St. John’s Episcopal Church to mark its 150th anniversary with a two-day observance Oct. 10-11 By Martha WI TT special to the metro monthly
u Editor’s note: Martha Witt is chairwoman of the sesquicentennial. St. John’s Episcopal Church will mark its 150th anniversary this month on the weekend of Oct. 10-11. The church has scheduled a “Choral Evensong” at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10 and a “Festal Eucharist” at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 11.
S
t. John’s had its beginnings during the 1850s, when Henrietta Foster Thornton, a sister of the songwriter Stephen Foster, began a children’s Sunday school in her home on West Federal Street. There was no Episcopal Church in Youngstown at that time, though occasionally a minister would come from St. James in Boardman or Christ Church in Warren to hold a service. In 1859, a group of Episcopalians decided to form a parish in Youngstown, and St. John’s was founded in December of that year. By 1861, they were able to build a church on Wood Street, overlooking the city, and call their first priest, the Rev. Wyllys Hall. The church grew along with the city, and several mission chapels were founded for members who could not easily get to Wood Street. The first was St. James Chapel in Smoky Hollow. Both St. John’s and the chapel had large Sunday schools, and newsletters from 1880 have articles about the women of the church collecting and distributing food and clothing for needy members of the community. Members of St. John’s were active in founding or assisting St. Andrew’s, St. Augustine’s and St. Rocco’s churches. In 1896, the Wood Street church was badly damaged by fire, and the congregation built the current building on Wick Avenue, in the midst of one of the city’s finest residential districts. From 1898 to the 1960s, the boys’ and men’s choir was known for its excellence. In addition to singing at Sunday services, they performed concerts in Youngstown and nearby towns. Today the choir continues to lead Sunday worship. Dr. Ronald L. Gould founded the Boar’s Head Festival in the 1960s. The program features an Epiphany pageant with choral and congregational music and is offered as a gift to the community. For many years much of St. John’s outreach was done by the women’s and youth organizations. They raised money for missions, and collected and distributed food, clothes and other necessities, not only for needy people in Youngstown but also as far away as South Dakota and Puerto Rico. During the Great Depres-

sion, the Rev. Leonard Stryker was known as a compassionate and generous man who helped many in and outside the parish. In the 1960s, the Rev. John Burt founded the Youngstown branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. He and his successors, along with lay members, worked to improve racial relations in Youngstown and beyond. St. John’s currently supports a number of local agencies financially and with volunteers. They include the Beatitude House, Habitat for Humanity, Help Hotline, Interfaith Home Maintenance, the Needle’s Eye, Protestant Family Service and the Ursuline Sisters HIV/AIDS Ministry. The church has supported the Rescue Mission for over 100 years, and Mahoning Valley Association of Churches since its beginnings as the Youngstown Council of Churches. Members of St. John’s were instrumental in founding the Youngstown Point. The Red Door Food Pantry conducts a food giveaway on the third Saturday of each month. The Youngstown City Schools ABLE Program holds classes at St. John’s through the school year. Starting in the 1960s, when St. John’s and First Presbyterian Church opened the Gates of Eden Coffee House for students, the church has reached out to YSU students and faculty. The coffee house was followed by support for Cooperative Campus Ministry (now Protestant Campus Ministry). In 2006 our curate, the Rev. Jeremiah
St. John’s had its beginnings during the 1850s, when Henrietta Foster Thornton, a sister of the songwriter Stephen Foster, began a children’s Sunday school in her home on West Federal Street. Williamson, began “Thinking Christians.” The group meets weekly on the YSU campus and provides a forum for students to discuss questions about faith and life. They also perform service projects. Over the years, many YSU students have blessed us as members of St. John’s choir. The “Youngstown Initiative,” also begun by Williamson, invites visiting groups to stay at St. John’s and perform mission work in the city. It is funded through the Diocese of Ohio. Groups have worked with Habitat for Humanity, Easter Seals and the St. John’s Red Door Café. In 2001 our former rector, Rev. John Horner, founded Wick Neighbors, with the goal of promoting collaboration among Wick Avenue institutions and revitalizing Smoky Hollow. Wick Neighbors includes the Mahoning Valley Historical Society, the Butler Institute of American Art, Main Library and YSU, as well as Butler Presbyterian, First Presbyterian and St. John’s. In July, one of the churches hosts the Community Service during YSU’s “Summer Festival of the Arts.” The Smoky Hollow Project is
proceeding slowly, but it is proceeding. Horner began a monthly healing service, held at 2 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month. During his time at St. John’s, St. Rocco’s and St. Andrew’s parishes closed due to declining membership. Since some of their former members attend St. John’s, we were given two statues from St. Rocco’s and the original altar and ambry from St. Andrew’s, which have been incorporated into our worship space. Early members included David Tod, governor of Ohio during the Civil War, and his family. His daughters, Miss Sallie Tod and Mrs. Grace Tod Arrel, were generous supporters of the church’s music (especially the boys’ choir) and outreach. Edward L. Ford and his children, Judge John Ford and Mrs. Blanche Ford Agler, gave the church its parish house and bells. William F. Maag, owner of The Youngstown Vindicator and WFMJ, was a long-time member, vestryman and benefactor. Over the years membership has changed as the city has changed. At one time, most lived in Youngstown, especially on the North Side. While some of us still live in the city, most come from the surrounding areas of Mahoning and Trumbull counties and Western Pennsylvania. We are a diverse congregation of many interests and avocations who choose to worship and serve God in the heart of the city. Our doors are open to all who come. We believe that all are welcome in God’s Kingdom.

about new challenges the industry faces, and getting a behind-the-scenes look into the writing and production phases of major network television shows. “I’ve always enjoyed teaching Westminster’s Broadcast Programming course,” Corso said. “With my professional background in commercial radio, that part of the course has been easy for me. Since I lack the experience in television programming, this seminar will allow me to provide my students with first-hand knowledge that I haven’t had in the past.” Corso plans to post Twitter and Facebook updates from the seminar so his students can follow the proceedings. Corso, a 1984 Westminster graduate who has been on the Westminster faculty since 2004, earned a master’s from the University of Akron.

Workplace workout
Kent State class offers business owners ideas for green commerce
T
he Workforce Development and Continuing Studies Center at Kent State Trumbull Campus is announcing the launch of a new online program, “Going Green in the Workplace.” Students and business owners will learn how to position their business as a responsible environmental leader in a world of green consumers and carbon-conscious regulators. Participants will discover how to save energy, money, and reduce their carbon footprint. Students may take “Going Green in the Workplace” from the convenience of their home or office, and at any time of the day or night. New sessions run every month and last six weeks, with two new lessons being released weekly (for a total of 12). The courses are entirely Web-based with comprehensive lessons, quizzes, and assignments. A dedicated instructor facilitates every course; pacing learners, answering questions, giving feedback, and facilitating discussions. First, the class will cover how to trim energy costs without reducing productivity by making lighting, HVAC, and building control systems more efficient. Then it explores ways to cut water bills and look at waste reduction strategies that can save money while helping move toward a sustainable business model. The class covers transportation and shipping, examining the benefits of alternative fuels, hybrids, and all-electric vehicles.
Participants will discover how to save energy, money, and reduce their carbon footprint. Students will get a primer on renewable energy and learn how to integrate wind and solar power into an energy use plan, and will learn about buying green power, carbon offsets, and renewable energy credits. In addition, participants will get information about LEED accreditation
and how to measure and manage carbon emissions in order to comply with any eventual carbon tax or cap-andtrade system. Throughout the course, students will examine real-world examples of energysaving solutions and find out how to calculate the costs, benefits, and paybacks of these projects. Participants will learn how to communicate the environmental benefits of actions to their customers and business partners to transform the businesses into a leader in the green economy.

U.S. military personnel test equipment overseas in August. The Ohio Department of Insurance advises military personnel to review their insurance policies before deploying or returning from service.
Ohio military advised to review insurance coverage
A
s thousands of military personnel prepare to leave to or return from deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan in the coming months, they should review their insurance coverage to make certain that they stay protected no matter where they are, said Mary Jo Hudson, director of the Ohio Department of Insurance. “With frequent moves and changes in deployment status, members of the Armed Services face a unique situation when it comes to insurance,” said Hudson. “By staying on top of their insurance options, military personnel can make sure that they have the right coverage for any situation.” Hudson offered the following tips for those serving in the military when selecting their insurance coverage: Auto insurance – If you will be deployed for an extended period of time you may want to suspend your auto insurance coverage. Check with your insurance agent or insurance company to determine if this is a feasible option. If you do suspend your auto insurance coverage while you are deployed, be sure to notify your insurance agent or insurance company as soon as possible after your return. A delay in obtaining auto insurance upon your return may result in non-compliance with Ohio’s financial responsibility law. Many insurance companies will not consider lack of auto insurance coverage during deployment as a lapse in coverage if you obtain coverage soon after returning home. However, a delay in securing auto insurance upon your return may result in you having to pay more for your auto insurance coverage since the insurance company could consider this delay as a lapse in coverage. u Homeowners/renters insurance – Many policies have a “vacancy clause” that may be activated if you are deployed for an extended period and your family has moved to a new location. Such policies might not pay claims if your house is vacant for 60 days or more. Consult with your insurance agent or company
to learn how “vacancy” is defined and whether or not the claims will be paid if the home is vacant during your deployment. If your current policy does not currently or cannot be endorsed to provide coverage while you are deployed, you may have to find alternative coverage. Some insurance companies do offer coverage for vacant properties. Typically, the premium is greater when the insurance policy provides coverage during vacancy. However, when you return from deployment, vacancy endorsement or policies can be removed or replaced, so that a cost savings can be realized. Review your policy before deploying. To avoid future disputes, review your policy with your insurance agent or company before you leave for military duty. Also, make sure your policy limits are sufficient to cover your home and your personal property at today’s costs. Consider increasing your coverage limits if you have made additions or improvements to your property. u Health insurance health plans – Many reservists and National Guard members have health coverage for themselves and their families through an employer-sponsored health plan. Some may wish to continue that coverage, particularly for their dependents, during their active duty period. Talk with your benefits administrator to learn what will happen with your health coverage when called to active duty. If you are on active duty for more than 30 days, you and your dependents should be covered by military health care. Dependents have medical and dental services provided through uniformed services facilities subject to availability and are eligible for health benefits from civilian sources through the federally funded TRICARE program, the triple option benefit plan available for military families, formerly known as CHAMPUS (Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services). Your right to continue health coverage under an employment-based group health plan is covered by federal laws. The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) provides health coverage continuation rights to employees and
their families after an event such as reduction in employment hours. The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) is intended to minimize the disadvantages that occur when a person needs to be absent from civilian employment to serve in the uniformed services. Both COBRA and USERRA generally allow individuals called for active duty to continue coverage for themselves and their dependents under an employment-based group health plan (18 months under COBRA and 24 months under USERRA). u Life insurance – Anyone who sells life insurance at military installations is required to obtain permission from the Department of Defense to be an authorized solicitor. When dealing with an agent, ask to see permits and licenses to be sure you are dealing with a legitimate agent. Ohio does not permit life insurance policies to be sold to active duty members of the Armed Services that contain a provision denying benefits if the death occurred as a result of war. Other states may not have similar laws. Frequently, private insurance carriers do not offer coverage for Acts of War. Military personnel are provided some death benefits, but may purchase a limited amount of additional coverage through the Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI), a low-cost group life insurance program that includes benefits for death resulting from Acts of War. Be sure you understand the benefits paid by the policy if you were to die in a war zone or were to be killed through an act of war. If you purchase an individual militaryfocused policy, check with your agent to make sure it does not duplicate coverage for your family that could be obtained elsewhere. More information, including access to the Department’s online military insurance toolkit, can also be obtained at www.insurance.ohio. gov.
Policyholder protections to go into effect Nov. 2
S
tarting Nov. 2, 2009, the Ohio Department of Insurance and all insurance companies that do business in the state of Ohio will begin new procedures designed to protect policyholders’ personal information. Insurance companies will be required to report any loss of policyholder information within their possession to the Ohio Department of Insurance within 15 days of the discovery that the information has been lost or stolen. Ohio Department of Insurance Director Mary Jo Hudson issued the announcement in midSeptember. “Personal information” means an individual’s name, consisting of the individual’s first name or first initial and last name, in combination with: a Social Security number, or a driver’s license number or state identification number, or a bank/credit/debit card or account number. “Loss of Control” means the unauthorized access to, unauthorized acquisition of, or disappearance of any personal information, including with respect to computerized data the unauthorized access to and/or acquisition of that computerized data that compromises the security or confidentiality of personal information. The reporting procedures will be part of the Ohio Department of Insurance’s risk assessment responsibilities and will extend to agents that are appointed by an insurance company. Insurance companies will be required to educate their agents about this obligation. Ohio insurance consumers with questions and concerns about their insurance can call the department’s consumer hotline at 1-800-6861526. Free information can also be obtained at www.insurance.ohio.gov. Compiled from local and regional reports.

CONSUMER WATCH BBB warns of solicitations for paving in Southington u
Asphalt Paving Contractors has an F Rating with the Better Business Bureau.
A
consumer has notified the Better Business Bureau that a paving company is going door-to-door offering consumers and businesses “leftover” asphalt for a discounted price. Locally, the company is going by the name Asphalt Paving Contractors, but is also known as Jack Harrison, Blacktop Paving, Asphalt Paving Company and US Asphalt. Asphalt Paving Contractors is based in Sunset, La. and has an F grade with the Better Business Bureau. The reasons for this rating include 0 consumer complaints filed against this business in the past 36-month period and the company has failed to respond to eight of the complaints. Complaints state that that the asphalt cracks and breaks shortly after application. “We caution consumers to beware of companies that are offering “leftover” products. Often these companies are using poor quality materials and shoddy workmanship,” said Melissa Ames, BBB spokeswoman. “The BBB urges consumers to research the company before paying for services. The BBB offers the following tips to consumers, before making a purchase from a door-to-door sales representative: u Ask for literature and take plenty of time to read it. Reputable companies will have a local sales office with a published price list that includes the address and phone number of the company. u Contact your Better Business Bureau for a Reliability Report on the company. u Don’t feel pressured to make a quick decision. A reputable professional will recognize that you need time to consider many factors when deciding to sign a contract. u If you decide you don’t want to purchase the product, the Federal Trade Commission’s Three-Day Cooling-Off Rule gives you three days to cancel purchases that are made in your home or at a location that is not the permanent place of business or local address of the seller. If you decide to cancel the contract, be sure to send the company a certified letter with notice of your contract cancellation. u Never pay with cash or give out banking information before checking out the company. Carefully read every document before you give your consent and be sure to keep a copy of the contract for your records. u Ask to see a vendor’s permit. In Ohio, salespersons are required to have a state license or permit to sell products or services door-to-door. Ask to see the sales representative’s vendor’s license. For questions or more information, contact the BBB at 330-744-3111 or visit www.youngstown.bbb.org.

Postmenopausal see benefit from endurance training
Team identifies key factor in spread of brain cancer from the national institutes of health
from the university of california
M
arilyn Graham was 56 when she signed up for a grueling hour of cycling each morning for 12 weeks, occasionally decked out in a mask, a heart monitor and a bag of intravenous fluid and subjected to needle pricks to obtain blood samples. “I was probably the biggest whiner of the group, complaining loudly about the seats and how my butt hurt,” said Graham, who writes software for business units on the University of California, Berkeley campus. “It was really intense, and on some days my legs felt like wet noodles. On a cranky day I’d say, ‘Let me off this stupid bike!’” But once the training “kicked in,” she said,” I was feeling good. I had energy left over at the end of the day, less mental sluggishness. And I dropped two dress sizes without any weight loss.” Graham’s experience was typical of the 10 healthy but sedentary women, averaging 55 years of age, who participated in a 2006 study of endurance training in 50-something women. In two papers based on the experiments and published in recent months, UC Berkeley researchers report that postmenopausal women can achieve the same health benefits from regular, vigorous exercise as younger women do. “There is some good news here for older women in the population, in that they respond much like younger women do to training,” said study leader and exercise physiologist George Brooks, UC Berkeley professor of integrative biology. “The results are very encouraging for exercise without weight loss as an effective means for increasing vigor and controlling risk factors for chronic diseases in older women.” “There have been very few studies looking at postmenopausal women, who are different because of decreased estrogen, decreased lean body mass and decreased aerobic capacity,” said Zinta Zarins, a newly minted UC Berkeley Ph.D. who conducted the experiments and is now a post-doctoral fellow at UC San Francisco. “Yet, despite changes in hormones and changes in body composition, postmenopausal women can make significant changes in their cardiovascular fitness without going on extreme diets.” Although the endurance training involved cycling on an exercise bike for an hour, five days a week, at 65 percent of maximum lung capacity, the researchers noted that even less strenuous aerobic exercise would likely produce some benefit. “Most people don’t exercise at this level, but some exercise is better than none at all,” Zarins said, noting that 60 minutes of jog-
Researchers report that postmeno pausal women can achieve the same health benefits from regu lar, vigorous exercise as younger women do. ging on a treadmill or swimming should be as effective as an hour on a stationary bike. Brooks noted that a woman’s metabolism changes as her hormone levels change after menopause, affecting glucose clearance from the blood, for example. He proposed the study, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health, to determine whether women achieve the same benefits from endurance training after menopause as they did before. “We’ve done lots of studies on the effects of activity and training on metabolism in younger men and women, but this is the first in an older population,” Brooks said. In a paper appearing in the September issue of the journal “Metabolism – Clinical and Experimental,” Brooks and Zarins report that participants increased their body’s capacity to consume and use oxygen – their VO2 max – by an average of 16 percent and dropped their resting heart rates by an average of 4 beats per minute. Brooks said that after the age of 30, people lose the capacity to consume and use oxygen at about 1 percent per year. “So, in effect, the women in our study had the cardiovascular and metabolic capabilities of women 16 years younger,” he said. By the end of the study, the women’s blood pressure during exercise had dropped by 8 millimeters of mercury, while their heart rates were 19 beats per minute less when performing at the same intensity as early in the study. In addition,
the women decreased their carbohydrate burning during exercise and increased their fat burning by about 10 percent. Women in the study maintained their body weight as a way to balance energy input and expenditures. “While men tend to burn carbohydrates first during exercise, women are better fat burners, and in our study, the women improved fat burning and decreased their reliance on carbohydrate after training,” Brooks said. Because they burn fat more than carbohydrates during exercise, women, in general, are better than men at maintaining stable blood glucose levels – the glucose comes from stored carbohydrates – and maintaining their weight, even while undergoing vigorous training, he said. In fact, men continue to burn carbohydrates for several hours after exercise, while women’s metabolism immediately returns to normal. A second paper, published in the July issue of the Journal of Applied Physiology, showed that the women’s use of blood glucose and their insulin levels during exercise showed similarities to those of younger women. Like Graham, most training participants noticed health benefits. Carol Nyhoff, a UC Berkeley alumna who was 57 at the time of the study, admits that exercise on a treadmill at a pace suitable for reading pales in comparison to the endurance training she completed while in the study. During the final VO2 max tests, she said, “I pushed myself very hard to see how much I could do, thinking, ‘Wow this could be dangerous, you’re way out there somewhere.’” Yet, two weeks after the study ended, her acupuncturist told her she had the pulse of an athlete. While many of the women who participated in the 2006 study have given up such vigorous training, claiming lack of time in a too-busy schedule, most say they have plans to resume regular exercise. Patti Owen, who was 54 when she participated in the study, retired in July and is finally finding time for daily vigorous walks. She aims for a pulse rate of 145, which was her target rate in the cycling study. “Since we had to maintain our weight, the study taught me that losing weight isn’t necessarily healthy, that exercise is what keeps us healthy and fit,” said Owen, formerly the head of the campus’s Academic Personnel office. During the 12-week study, she found herself no longer huffing and puffing as she walked uphill through campus. “People were even noticing changes in my body shape, and I actually dropped about one size,” she said. “It was all good.”
R
esearchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have found that the activity of a protein in brain cells helps stimulate the spread of an aggressive brain cancer called glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). In a move toward therapy, the researchers showed that a small designer protein could block this activity and reduce the spreading of GBM cells grown in the laboratory. GBM is the most lethal form of brain cancer, with about half of patients expected to die within a year of diagnosis. GBM is named for the fact that the cancerous cells have properties of support cells in the brain called glial cells. Rather than simply growing in a single tumor mass, GBM cells tend to migrate throughout the brain, making it difficult to remove them surgically. As the cells spread and multiply, they also tend to become resistant to radiation and chemotherapy. “Interventions to control the spreading of glioblastoma multiforme have the potential to slow the clinical course of the disease and improve overall survival rates,” says Jane Fountain, Ph.D., a program director at NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). NINDS funded the new study through an initiative that encourages research on why brain tumor cells are so highly invasive and how to therapeutically target these cells. The study’s senior author is Susann Brady-Kalnay, Ph.D., a neuroscientist at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and an expert on the development of the retina. For years, she has studied how cells migrate to their proper places in the developing retina. In particular, she studied how this process is regulated by cell adhesion molecules – proteins at a cell’s surface that can keep the cell stuck to its surroundings, or help the cell move. She has shown that a cell adhesion molecule called PTPmu is required for retinal cell migration. Investigating the role of PTPmu in GBM dispersal was a logical extension, she says. “We know that cell adhesion is important for development, and that there are many parallels between what happens during development and what happens in cancer,” says Dr. Brady-Kalnay. For instance, she notes there is some evidence that cancer cells have turned back the developmental clock and reverted to an embryonic stem cell-like state. In their new study published in Cancer Research, Dr. Brady-Kalnay and her team report that in GBM cancer cells, the PTPmu protein is cut into fragments, a process known as proteolysis. One might expect that the loss of intact PTPmu would simply cause the cells to detach from their surroundings. However, the fragments also appear to act as signals that stimulate the cells to move and to thrive outside of their normal surroundings. The researchers found the PTPmu fragments in GBM tumors that had been surgically removed from patients and in GBM cells grown in the laboratory. Next, they examined how these fragments affected the migration of GBM cells in a petri dish. They observed that adding more of the intact protein to the cells or treating the cells with a chemical inhibitor of proteolysis reduced the cells’ ability to migrate. Finally, they showed that it is possible to suppress the effect of the fragments, even without restoring the intact PTPmu protein. This last experiment built upon collaboration between Dr. Brady-Kalnay and Frank Longo, M.D., chair of the neurology department at Stanford University School of Medicine. The two researchers had previously designed a very small protein, or peptide, capable of attaching to PTPmu and blocking its effects on retinal cell migration. Here, Dr. Brady-Kalnay and her team tested this peptide in GBM cells, and found that it blocked their ability to migrate, too.

John F. Kennedy, Warren Philharmonic benefit from September tastes
S
eptember was filled with many fine wine tasting opportunities, including many charitable events in addition to the usual monthly tastings. My first outing took me to the home of Brian and Kim Ross for a benefit tasting for John F. kennedy high School. w wine Styles of howland and aulizio’s catering provided a fine selection of wines and food for the 100+ people in attendance. wine Styles provided 18 different w wines from around the world to tempt this gathering. Four wines (two whites and two reds) really stood out from the group. the New Age White wine from argentina was served with a twist of lime. Slightly effervescent with an offdry finish, it was a huge favorite. another crowd pleaser was the Loredona 2007 Monterey Riesling. Fruit-forward citrus apple fruit flavors were followed by a crisp, clean finish that complemented the many choice cheese selections. the 2 Up Shiraz from australia was the first choice for many people looking for a bold red. dark red fruit flavors and a spicy pepper-tinged finish had people coming back for more. For someone looking for a slightly smoother red, the Raymond R Collection Merlot fit the bill. lush plum and berry fruit flavors led to a textured finish that seemed to go on forever. this red should be on everyone’s holiday wine buying list. My next destination was the Overture Restaurant in downtown Youngstown for the edward J. debartolo Memorial Scholarship Foundation wine dinner. a seven-course meal was served consisting of chilled lobster napoleon, pan-fried virginia spot (similar to perch), threev way duck, baby gnocchi with mushrooms, tomatoes and shallots, grilled lamb chop, seared filet on soft polenta, and fresh cream and raspberry crepes. three wines really stood out with chef Jeff chrystal’s food pairings. the Robert Mondavi 2004 Carneros Chardonnay was outstanding with the pan-fried
spot. this delicately flavored fish was just right with the expressive Mondavi chardonnay. bright citrus fruit flavors and a supple finish tinged with new oak was a perfect match for this dish. the David Bruce 2006 Pinot Noir from Sonoma county was my next pick. it was simply wonderful with the three-way duck (marinated duck breast wrapped in an egg roll, grilled rare duck breast, and duck confit). david bruce’s Pinot is vinified in a very burgundian style. gentle fermentation produces a delicately scented red with ripe cherry fruit flavors followed by a long velvety finish. My final pick was the 2008 Don

Sulka’s food presentations included a fresh seafood salad and jumbo shrimp cocktail, grilled lamb chops, and a buildyour-own paella bar with littleneck clams, mussels, and saffron rice. this was followed by an extensive dessert tray of fruit tarts, cakes, and colossal chocolate-dipped strawberries. Robert Mondavi’s fantastic 2006 Solaire Chardonnay from the Santa lucia highlands was my wine of choice with the fresh seafood salad; its tangy flavors made a great match. chef Sulka’s grilled lamb chops were paired to the Robert Mondavi 2007 Private Selection Meritage. this blend of mostly cabernet

Miguel Gascon Malbec from argentina. grilled lamb chops atop a bed of roasted garlic risotto was served with this bold South american red. Massive plum and blueberry fruit flavors with a hint of mocha on the finish went hand in hand with the tasty lamb chops. Leo’s Ristorante in howland was my next stop for the w warren Philharmonic orchestra’s “the Secret of Steinway” wine tasting, featuring the music of Joe augustine and the wines of nannicola imports. these wines originate from the Friulian region of northeastern italy and are quite unique. My first choice was the Zorzettig 2007 Sauvignon. this all stainless steelfermented white with its crisp acidity and long textured finish was outstanding with leo’s cedar roasted salmon. this rich-tast-

Sauvignon with a dollop of Merlot, Petite v verdot, Malbec, and cabernet Franc was just scrumptious. Smooth and textured fruit flavors gave way to a supple long finish that worked very nicely with the grilled lamb chops. this month’s store tastings took me to Michael Charles Premier Wines of howland. they featured the wines of 55 degrees and barrel aged wine distributors. the Stonewood Cellars 2006 Chardonnay ($9.99) from sourced california grapes was a real find. bright apple and citrus fruit flavors led to a supple, clean finish. this wine also would be a great choice for upcoming holiday entertaining, or with grilled chicken and seafood. a red that really stood out was the Coto De Hayas 2006 Crizanza ($14.99) from campo de borja, Spain. a blend of 60 percent grenache and 40 percent tempranillo, this medium-bodied fresh t tasting red was just plain delicious with SEE THE WINE GUY, PAGE P 20

the pizza offered. This estate bottled DOC is fairly priced and is another good choice for the upcoming holidays. As a special treat for his customers, Mike Lapmardo opened a bottle of Domain Chandon 2007 Pinot Meunier ($31.99) from Carneros, Calif. This red blending grape originated from the Champagne region of France. Chandon bottles it as a stand-alone offering, and it is simply wonderful. Bright spice-tinged cherry fruit flavors and a smooth smoke-tinged finish set this wine apart from its more famous cousin, Pinot Noir. At $31.99, this is a real bargain if you are looking for an unusual holiday gift for a hard-to-please wine buff. My last stop of the month was the third Saturday Vintage Estate Wine and Beer tasting in Boardman. My first pick was the outstanding Rocche Costamagna Langhe 2008 Arneis DOC ($14.99) from the Piedmont region of Italy. This delicate straw-colored white wine has been referred to as the Burgundy of Italy. Tropical fruit flavors followed by a long mineral-tinged finish make this an easy wine to drink. Direct importing makes this wine an attractive buy for someone looking for a unique wine of distinction. A red that really stood out was the Gia Russo 2007 Chianti ($9.99) from Tuscany. It’s hard to find Chiantis in this price range anymore. The Gia Russo Chianti delivers the goods if you’re looking for the ultimate inexpensive pizza wine. Medium bodied with a crisp, clean finish, it should also be great with an end-of the-gardenseason marinara sauce. Owner Phill Reda graciously opened a bottle of Hideaway Creek 2007 Chardonnay from the Carneros region of California, and asked me what I thought it cost. I pegged it as another $35-40 Chardonnay that we see so much of these days. But lo and behold, this tasty Chardonnay was only $19.99. Smooth supple citrus and pear fruit flavors with a finish that never ends mark this as a wine of distinction. As you read this column, this wine will be available for sale at Vintage Estate. A tip of my hat to Reda and his staff for a great wine find. Beer lovers in the Boardman area seem to have lots of opportunities for beer tastings, so I’m happy to report that for beer lovers in Trumbull County, the Havana House in Niles is going to have a beer taste on Friday, Oct. 23. We’ll soon have a new wine spot in the Boardman area as Michael Alberini’s Restaurant is slated to open in late October (not affiliated with Alberini’s in Niles). Look for more information about the new venue in a future column. Let us know about your event: If you have a wine event you would like listed in this column, please send your information to thewineguy@metromonthly.net.
