YSU develops institute for shale, natural gas

lies. Ankle & Foot Care Centers works with the Salvation Army, who in February will distribute the shoes collected this year to individuals throughout Mahoning and Trumbull counties. Ankle & Foot Care Centers is the region’s largest podiatric care provider, with 16 physicians and surgeons serving patients at 19 local offices, located in Alliance, Austintown, Boardman, Campbell, Champion, Columbiana, East Liverpool, East Palestine, Greenville (Pa.), Howland, Lake Milton, Liberty, Niles, Poland, Salem, Struthers, Warren and Youngstown. Specific locations and other information are located on the group’s Web site, at http://www.ankleandfootcare.com/.

Y

oungstown State University is developing a new institute designed to educate professionals and provide research for the emerging multi-billion dollar shale natural gas industry in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The YSU Natural Gas and Water Resources Institute will provide bachelor’s degree level courses in science and engineering that will lead to an academic minor in gas technologies and also will provide research opportunities for industry focusing on analysis of water used in the shale gas extraction process. “Given YSU’s location in the heart of the Utica shale region, this new Institute is well poised to meet the educational and research demands and needs central to this new and growing industry,” said Martin Abraham, dean of the YSU College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, in which the new Institute will be located. Formation of the Institute was announced last month at the Youngstown Ohio Utica and Natural Gas Conference and Expo at the Covelli Centre in downtown Youngstown. The event, presented by the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber, was the first conference and exhibition solely focused on Ohio’s emerging shale gas industry. The Utica shale is a large rock formation thousands of feet below the surface spanning an area from eastern Ohio to Pennsylvania and across the Canadian border. Gas contained in the Utica shale is expected to become a dominant source of natural gas for the United States in this decade. A recent study showed that more than 200,000 jobs, including nearly 9,000 in professional and technical services, will be created or supported by 2015 due to exploration, leasing, drilling and pipeline construction for the Utica shale reserve. One of the significant issues for the extraction of the gas is the use and recovery of large volumes of water used in the hydraulic fracturing process and the need to treat, analyze and monitor this water. Abraham said the YSU Natural Gas and Water Resources Institute will provide research on water-related issues such as analysis and monitoring, remote sensing, remediation and treatment, and reuse and recycling. The Institute will utilize faculty and facilities in YSU’s chemistry, mechanical engineering, environmental science, chemical engineering, geology and civil engineering departments. In addition, the Institute’s educational component will establish an academic minor in natural gas and water resources for students interested in careers in professional and technical fields directly related to shale gas and other unconventional resources, or the petroleum industry in general. Most of the faculty, expertise, courses and laboratory components for

OCCUPYING YOUNGSTOWN – The end of November saw visitors to downtown Youngstown – each drawn to the area due to Marcellus Shale but for different reasons. In the top image, thousands attended a Regional Chamber exhibition at the Covelli Centre that showcased natural gas-exploration opportunities. Bottom photo: In another part of the downtown, protesters gathered in front of the Regional Chamber’s offices to speak out against the fracking process, which many said will cause significant environmental damage in the region.

the new minor already exist in the STEM college, Abraham said. A few new courses will be created to provide specific technical competencies required for understanding water resource issues associated with the Utica and Marcellus formations. The concept of the new Institute will be presented to the YSU Board of Trustees in December. Abraham said he hopes to establish an external advisory board to identify specific research targets for the new Institute and complete the development of the minor by next fall. The first students in the new minor in natural gas and water resources could graduate as early as May 2013.

Ankle & Foot Centers seeking shoes for needy

P

odiatric physicians and surgeons with Ankle & Foot Care Centers are urging holiday shoppers to help the area’s less fortunate by buying and donating new pairs of shoes.

The doctors aim to collect more than 800 pairs of shoes between now and Jan. 6. Shoe collection stations are now in place at each of the group’s 19 Mahoning Valley locations, all of which are accepting new or nearly new shoes. In greatest demand are children’s shoes of all types and casual, all-purpose shoes in adult sizes for both men and women. “Many families in our own communities are unable to provide decent footwear for themselves or their children,” said Michael Vallas, practice administrator at Ankle & Foot Care Centers. “Improper footwear is not only a concern to overall foot health, but receiving a new pair of shoes can really be a boost to one’s self-esteem. We’re confident the generous people in our community can help us exceed our goal.” Since 1998, Ankle & Foot Care Centers has helped local shoppers donate thousands of pairs of shoes to local needy fami-

ing plant in Youngstown. Plans call for the renovation of a 200,000-square-foot building in the V&M Star complex, located within the Cooperative Agreement Zone formed by Youngstown and the city of Girard. Judson Wallace, president of VAM USA, said the Youngstown project will require an investment of $57 million. “Our products are the industry leader in the natural gas production industry,” said Wallace. “Expanding in Youngstown made sense for us as it brings us very close to customers working in both the Marcellus and Utica shales, where business is booming. Our new facility will enable us to improve service to existing customers and connect with new customers.” Once fully operational, VAM USA’s Youngstown finishing plant will employ an estimated 100 full-time workers. Production is scheduled to begin in phases starting in mid-2012 ramping up to full production by the end of 2013. Once the finishing plant is operating at full capacity, VAM USA will have the ability to thread pipe produced from the new V&M Star mill in Youngstown, as well as seamless pipe produced by other pipe mills in the northeastern United States. V&M Star LP and VAM USA are both affiliate companies of the Vallourec Group. Ownership of VAM USA consists of a partnership between Vallourec, Sumitomo Metals and Sumitomo Corp.

USDA awards $70,000 for urban agriculture

T

he U.S. Department of Agriculture has awarded 10 grants to support 155 People’s Gardens in neighborhoods in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Michigan and Ohio. Locally, the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) will be awarded a $70,000 grant, which was to be formally announced by U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan (D-17) during a Nov. 22 ceremony at the Youngstown Historical Center of Labor and Industry, 151 W.Wood St., Youngstown. “We are honored to be one of just 10 People’s Garden Grant award recipients throughout the country,� said Presley L. Gillespie, YNDC executive director. “This grant award will enable YNDC to work with resident groups throughout the Mahoning Valley to improve their neighborhoods through urban agriculture.� Sustainable community gardens give residents direct access to fresh fruits and vegetables in underserved neighborhoods. A lack of access to fresh and nutritious food fuels obesity and domestic food insecurity – a condition where households experience limited or uncertain access to adequate food. “The simple act of planting a community garden helps unite neighborhoods around a common effort and inspires communities to find solutions to challenges facing our country—from hunger, to childhood SEE VALLEY UPDATE, PAGE 11

obesity, to the environment,� said Ohio’s USDA Rural Development State Director Tony Logan. “These particular grants are highly competitive, and we’re pleased that USDA can play a small role in the epic story of Youngstown’s resurgence!� USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) manages the People’s Garden Grant Program (PGGP), with funding from the Agriculture Marketing Service, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Food and Nutrition Service, U.S. Forest Service, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The program was designed to invest in urban and rural areas identified as “food deserts� or food-insecure areas, particularly those with persistent poverty. In addition, PGGP seeks to address health issues closely related to malnutrition, including food insecurity, obesity, diabetes and heart disease, through onsite education programs. The People’s Garden Initiative is a grass roots effort to grow healthy food, people and communities. USDA is working with more than 600 local organizations to create school gardens, community gardens and small-scale agriculture projects in urban and rural areas, collectively referred to as community-based agriculture. Since 2009, People’s Gardens have expanded to all 50 states, three U.S. territories and five foreign countries. They are located at faith-based centers, on federal leased or owned property, at schools and other places within communities. All produce grown at a People’s Garden on USDA-owned or leased property is donated to help those in need. The USDA invites partners to share their harvests with neighborhood food pantries, kitchens and shelters, which helps improve access to healthy, affordable food at a local level. Search the People’s Gardens Interactive Map to find out where our gardens are located. To learn more or to register your community garden as a People’s Garden, visit www.usda.gov/peoplesgarden.

Main Library roof repairs to affect access, parking

T

he Main Library of the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County, located at 305 Wick Ave., has scheduled for roof repairs beginning the week of Monday, Nov. 21. The project is expected to take three weeks. Although Main Library will remain open, patrons may experience some inconveniences. At various times, the project will affect parking. Additionally, the project will briefly close the library’s current entrance and in its place, the old entrance off Wick Avenue will be used. The project also will affect handicapped accessibility. The current entrance/exit has an elevator for the handicapped, which bypasses the stairway just inside the entrance. However, the old entrance, which also has a stairway immediately inside, does not have an elevator. Because weather will play a part in the

WWW.METROMONTHLY.NET 11

timing of completing each section of the roof, Library officials cannot announce on which days the entrance will be affected. Separate notice will be made before this occurs. Patrons having concerns with handicap accessibility at the Main Library during repairs are encouraged to phone the library before visiting, at 330-7448636, for an update on accessibility to parking and entering/exiting the building. Information will also be available on the Library’s Web site,www.libraryvisit.org. The Library awarded Roth Brothers the $205,950 contract bid. Patrons are reminded that they can use any of the branches of the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County during the period of repairs at Main Library. Additionally, materials can be sent to other libraries for pick-up by patrons. The Library’s Web site and PLYMC mobile app for smart phones are also available for various library services.

Home Savings foundation gives Goodwill $8,000

T

he Home Savings Charitable Foundation recently presented a check for $8,000 to Youngstown Area Goodwill Industries, a local nonprofit agency. Youngstown Area Goodwill Industries Executive Director Michael W. McBride said the funds will aid capital needs and two fundraisers supporting the Junior Group Auction and Employee Awards Banquet. Youngstown Area Goodwill Industries began service to the community in 1893 as the Christ Mission Settlement on East Federal Street in downtown Youngstown, which was established in response to the specific needs of the population. Today, Goodwill serves the needs of men and women with disabilities and other barriers to employment in the community through comprehensive programs and services in an 86,000-square-foot facility complex, with seven retail outlets. “Over the years, the specific programs and services offered by the organization have evolved as the needs of the community have changed, but the essence has remained the same,� McBride said. “While the support from individuals and businesses in the community makes it possible to meet the rehabilitation needs of Goodwill consumers, this local Goodwill relies on the support of area foundations to meet capital needs,� said McBride. “We are extremely grateful to the Home Savings Charitable Foundation for this contribution, as well as for all of its support over the years. Together, we can continue to meet the vocational goals of the underemployed and unemployed in the area.� For more information about Youngstown Area Goodwill Industries and the services it provides, call 330-759-1864 or visit www.goodwillindustries.org.

PEYKO FOR HOMEPLATE HOMESTYLE My Aunt Irma didn’t invent the Jell-O® cookie, but it was so closely associated with her annual Christmas party that she may as well have. For nearly three decades, this festive red-and-green cookie – in the shape of a tiny wreath or Christmas tree – was a staple at her holiday celebration. From childhood on, it was my older brother Christopher’s favorite holiday cookie. Although our beloved aunt passed away last April, memories of her and this special cookie remain.

BY MARY ANN FLAVIANO FOR HOMEPLATE HOMESTYLE. PREPARED BY ROZ SALAPATA AND VANESSA MANN

INGREDIENTS 1 cup of vegetable oil 1 cup of granulated sugar 6 eggs at room temperature 1 teaspoon baking powder 3 cups flour 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons anise oil

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE FILLING

FOR THE DOUGH 1 cup sugar

7 cups walnuts, coarsely ground (in a food processor) 4 ounces (1 stick) butter, melted 1 ½ cups sugar 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional) 4 egg whites, lightly beaten FOR THE ICING 2 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional) 4 tablespoons milk or heavy cream

½ cup shortening ½ cup butter at room temperature 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup milk 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour

PREPARATION Mix eggs in a large bowl, then mix in oil. Once combined, add sugar and mix. Add in the vanilla extract and anise oil, and mix. Gradually sift in the baking powder and flour, and mix until batter is smooth, glossy and a spoon almost stands up in it. Make sure your batter isn’t too runny, as it will spill out of the iron.

BAKING Working with a preheated pizzelle iron, drop one teaspoonful of the batter onto the center of each side, squeeze the iron closed and lock. Cook for one minute. Use a fork to remove the cookies from the iron, and cool flat on a paper towel lined baking sheet. Repeat until all batter is used up. Let cool, stack and keep in an airtight container to retain crispness.

4 teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt

PREPARATION Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cream sugar, butter, and shortening. Add egg, vanilla and combine well. Add in remaining ingredients, alternating between the flour mixture and the milk; incorporate well. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into four even pieces, wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to overnight. For the filling, finely shop the nuts. Combine with sugar, cinnamon and melted butter. Mix well. Add egg whites; On a well-floured surface, roll out a piece of the dough into a 12” to14” circle. Spread an even layer of the nut mixture onto the dough. Using a pizza knife, cut dough into 12-14 pieces Starting at the wide end of each triangle, roll each piece up toward the center (pointed) end. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

BAKING Preheat oven to 350. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the slightly browned. Cool on racks. For the icing, mix powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and milk to desired consistency. Yields 4 dozen.

Holiday season jam-packed with quality regional wine tastings

A

s November marked the beginning of our holiday season, it was jam-packed with wine events to tempt local wine enthusi-

asts. In late October, Wine and Dine Ohio held a dinner taste at Salvatore’s Italian Grill in Howland, featuring wines from Buckeye Beverages. We started our festivities with a sparkling Coviello Prosecco Brut DOC from Italy. A great pairing for this crisp-tasting bubbly was the Portobello “mare e terra” (sea and land) topped with sweet corn and bacon cream sauce. At $13.99, this Prosecco should be on your list for your New Year’s Eve tasting. Northern Italy’s Friuli wine region was the source of our next offering. The 2010 Castellargo Friulano is a tasty blend of native Tocai Friulano, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Smooth and refreshing apple and pear fruit flavors followed by a herb-tinged finish provided a nice match for the recommended pan- seared Florida grouper. The 2008 Terre di Sole Sangiovese was the first red poured. Softly pressed, this fruitforward easy drinking Sangiovese was just the answer for the sautéed chicken breast with wild mushrooms. At $10.49, it compares to many Chiantis at twice the price. Diners who ordered the recommended Filetto Italiano were very happy with paired the 2008 Tenuta Curezza Nerosso red that we sampled next. This tasty blend of Primitivo, Negromaro, Malvasia and Uva di Troia has rich, dark fruit flavors and a long spicy finish. Our final red hailed from sunny Lake County, California. The 2008 Shannon Ridge Barbera was the evening’s crowd favorite. Bright and spicy red fruit flavors led to a smooth lingering finish. Salvatore’s classic braciole (thin beef slices rolled and stuffed) was a natural choice for this bold red. Springfield Grille in Boardman was my next stop for their monthly wine dinner. Once again, Chef Nick Mileto prepared an outstanding dinner feast to go with the wines from local distributor Ohio Wines. Our first dish was a crab tower appetizer paired to a Leonard Kreusch May Wine from Germany. Scented with spicy woodruff, this off-dry German white was delicious with the heaping crab tower. Our salad course of field greens with organic watermelon, grilled mission figs and feta cheese was served with a glass of 2009 Douglass Hill Chardonnay from California. This citrusy Chardonnay with just a touch of Semillon blended in was just plain delicious with the rich feta and fig salad. Our next entrée was wild mushroom brie and goat cheese ravioli paired to a 2003 Campo Viejo Gran Reserva from Rioja, Spain. This rich flavorsome dish needed a similar-styled wine to go with it. The Gran Reserva Campo Viejo was up to the job with its bold dry fruit flavors and structured finish. Vanilla-scented leg of lamb was presented for our final main course. Argentina’s

2006 Graffigna Cabernet Sauvignon Gran Reserva was chosen to go with the bold leg of lamb. Textbook Cabernet fruit flavors proved to be a seamless match for the tender lamb and couscous. Our dessert course was a Bosc pear and blackberry strudel with housemade Pinot Noir ice cream. This creamy, rich dish was paired to Raymond Vineyards’ Lot No. 7 Field Blend. I’ve

($15) from Amador County was one of the best Zinfandels I’ve had all year long. Spicy plum and berry flavors followed by a supple smoke-tinged finish had me wondering how they could do it at that price. The smoked meatballs in marinara sauce worked wonderfully with this great Zinfandel. My next pick was the

Wine Guy By John Webster make you think you are sampling a much more expensive wine. My red pick was the 2010 McWilliams Red Blend ($8.99) from South Australia. This juicy blend of Grenache, Merlot, Tempranilllo and Shiraz oozes strawberry and dark cherry flavors followed by a spice and pepper-tinged finish. The second Saturday taste at Michael Charles Premier Wines on Elm Road produced two reds that were outstanding. Oregons Willamette Valley is the source of the 2006

Left Coast Cellar’s Calis Cuvee Pinot Noir ($18.99). This highly-rated Pinot is a real steal at this price, so stock up early. Textbook Oregon Pinot fruit flavors and a spicy round finish will have you coming back for more. Also from the Pacific Northwest was the 2009 Waterbrooke Merlot ($14.99) from the Columbia Valley. Black raspberry fruit flavors and a crisp long finish make this a fine choice for holiday ham or rack of lamb. Vintage Estate Beer and Wine’s monthly third Saturday taste produced several fine red wines that are one sale for the holidays. New to this area is the Entwine 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon ($9.99). Produced from selected California Vineyards, it exhibits rich plummy fruit flavors followed by a supple clean finish. This is a great wine for informal parties and holiday get-togethers. Among Entwine’s other budget-friendly wine offerings are Merlot, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. My next pick was the La Crema 2009 Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast ($21.99, down from $25.99). Lush cherry and cola flavors lead to a supple finish tinged with smoky spice. The La Cream Pinot compares nicely to wines costing $35 to $40. Michael Charles of Howland poured several top-rate wines for someone looking for a last-minute gift. At $15.99, the L’Ecole 2009 Chenin Blanc offers a lip-smackingly good wine that compares nicely to some of the best French Loire Chenins. Mineral tinged apple and citrus falvors give way to a finish of honeysuckle and spice. Also being poured was the Domaine Des Baumard 2007 Savennieres ($24.99) from the Loire region of France. This is classic old world Chenin Blanc at its best. Honeyed mineraldriven fruit flavors and a tight crisp finish produce a wine that will age nicely for 10 or more years. This is a great gift for those who think they’ve tried everything. Upcoming events include two Wine and Dine Ohio tastings — 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 15 at Alberini’s in Niles, and 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 12 at Café Cimmento in downtown Youngstown.
