new St. Joseph to build new hospital near Kent Trumbull Mercy Health – Youngstown will build a new, 241-bed hospital and medical-office complex on a 62.88-acre site adjacent to the Kent State University Trumbull Campus. This new St. Joseph Warren campus will be located on Educational Highway. The facility will be more than 400,000 square feet, and Mercy Health expects to break ground on the facility in early 2023, with an anticipated opening in late 2025. The current St. Joseph Warren Hospital campus will continue to be maintained by Mercy Health, where we will offer outpatient services in the existing Medical Office Building and redevelop the rest of the site into green space. “This investment in a new hospital campus will not only enable us to provide a better inpatient experience, but it also aligns with our mission to promote the health and well-being of our communities,” said John Luellen, president, Mercy Health – Lorain and Youngstown. The new hospital campus, which will be the first new hospital construction in the Mahoning Valley since Mercy Health built St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital in 2007, will provide full inpatient and outpatient services and offers opportunity for future campus expansion. The facility will also be home to a medical office building located adjacent to the hospital that will offer specialist care. The project architects are GBBN and Strollo. Thorson Baker and Associates and Heapy are leading engineering. Shook Construction and Turner Construction Company are the construction firms. “As a health care ministry, we are called to bring good help to those in need. Building a new campus for St. Joseph Warren Hospital will enable Mercy Health to do just that by continuing to provide high-quality, compassionate care to the people of the Mahoning Valley,” said St. Joseph Warren Hospital President Char Wray. ”We look forward to further developing our footprint in Trumbull County by providing additional access points to the care the community needs.” In addition to building this new St. Joseph Warren Hospital campus, Mercy Health – Youngstown is building an inpatient acute rehabilitation hospital as part of a joint venture with Kindred Re-

DeWine: Surplus PPE headed to Ukraine

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced in early May that nearly 2,000 pieces of personal protective equipment donated by Ohio law enforcement agencies will soon be delivered to Ukraine. In response to a request from DeWine in March, more than two dozen Ohio law enforcement agencies donated surplus or expired body armor, vest carriers and helmets for use by members of the Ukraine civilian territorial defense. The Ohio State Highway Patrol coordinated the collection of the donations and delivered the 1,996 pieces of personal protective gear to an undisclosed location in the Cleveland area today.

“I am so very appreciative to all of the law enforcement agencies that took the time to gather their unneeded equipment and donate it to our friends in Ukraine who are fighting for their lives,” said DeWine. The Fund to Aid Ukraine is a non-profit organization based in Parma that is affiliated with the United Ukrainian Organizations of Ohio, a member of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America. The donations are scheduled to be transported from Ohio to Ukraine in the coming days. In total, Ohio is donating 71 vest carriers, 45 helmets, and 1,880 pieces of body armor to help protect civilians who are defending Ukraine against Russia. The following agencies participated in the donation drive: n Aurora Police Department. n Battelle Labs. n Bowling Green State University Police. n Cambridge Police Department. n Cleveland Police Department. n Elmore Police Department. n Erie County Sheriff’s Office. n Henry County Sheriff’s Office. n Hilliard Police Department.

YOUNGSTOWN – Elaine M. Welsh, 89, passed away peacefully at Mercy Health—St. Elizabeth in the early morning hours of Friday, May 13, after a brave struggle with chronic illness. Elaine was born on June 9, 1932, in Youngstown, the youngest child of Thomas Leo and Jane “Jennie” Coyne Casey, charter members of St. Brendan’s Catholic Church on the city’s West Side. A 1950 graduate of Ursuline High School, she was a member of the National Honor Society and Glee Club and served as co-editor of the student newspaper. During her years at Youngstown State University, she was an officer of Alpha Pi Epsilon service sorority, an assistant supervisor at the university’s testing center, and editor of the Newman Club newspaper. Under her editorial leadership, the club’s newspaper, which served Catholic students, rivaled the popularity of the Jambar, the campus’s official newspaper. Upon graduating with a B.A. in English in 1954, she became advertising manager for J.C. Penney Co.’s department store in downtown Youngstown, where she coordinated advertising for a three-store combine. In addition to preparing layouts, copy, and brochures, Elaine also wrote radio commercials and scripts for television and local fashion shows. In 1958, she was one of the few women to serve as a copywriter at the Cleveland-based advertising agency, Fuller, Smith & Ross. Despite being advised by one senior executive to “go home and make babies,” Elaine contributed to accounts for major firms, including American Greetings, Fostoria Glass, and Westinghouse. After returning to Youngstown, Elaine completed her post-graduate studies in elementary and secondary education at YSU and taught English at St. Brendan’s Elementary School and Ursuline High School. During this period, she was engaged to local educator Thomas “Jerry” G. Welsh, Sr., whom she married on June 25, 1960. Elaine then took a position at WKBN’s promotions and public relations department, where she remained until the birth of her eldest child in 1961. For the next decade, Elaine nurtured her growing family, which included four children by 1966. An active participant in the Diocese of Youngstown’s Pre-Cana movement, she helped engaged couples prepare for marriage. In 1964, Elaine and her husband, Jerry, co-edited the program’s monthly newsletter. Elaine resumed her professional career when she accepted a part-time position with the United Appeal in the early 1970s. In 1975, she became Communi-

cations Director of the Tri-County Area American Heart Association (AHA). During her almost 30-year tenure at the AHA, Elaine developed and promoted novel community outreach programs. ELAINE WELSH Memorable events included “Celebrity Waiters,” where prominent citizens solicited donations from local diners, and “Edible Art,” where local restaurateurs competed to produce award-winning, heart-healthy menus in the atrium of the Butler Institute of American Art. A generous and supportive mentor to women entering the field of communications, Elaine’s own contributions were nationally recognized in 1996, when she received the AHA’s Nate Hanson Award. Upon retiring, Elaine shared her communications skills with organizations such as the West Side Coalition and St. Patrick Church (Youngstown). Her resilience, kindness, empathy, open-mindedness, and desire to help others won her many friends over the years. Firmly rooted in her religious faith, Elaine also possessed an innate understanding of life’s complexity. She was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas G. Welsh, Sr., her older sister, Jayne Casey, her brother, Leo Casey (Patricia), and her youngest daughter, Susan E. Welsh. She is survived by her two sons, Thomas (Barbie DeLucia) of Youngstown and Robert (Sapna Krishnasetty) of Westerville, Ohio; her daughter Jeannette (Anthony Dudzik) of Columbus; her grandchildren, Dhillon, Kareena, and Devan Welsh, and Rachel Dudzik; and many nieces and nephews. Family and friends may call from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday (May 20) at Kinnick Funeral Home, 477 N. Meridian Road, Youngstown; and 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. at St. Patrick Church, 1410 Oak Hill Ave., Youngstown. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at the church on Saturday at 1 p.m. (May 21). In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Beatitude House or Dorothy Day House. Visit kinnickfuneralhome.com to view this obituary and send condolences online.

In 2013, he established the Trumbull County Drug Court to coordinate and integrate substance abuse treatment and other related services for low-level felony offenders with drug dependency issues. Logan recognized that through the drug court, the community would be better served by allowing such participation to reduce substance abuse, crime and recidivism. He has also developed several programs that have been instrumental in helping northeast Ohioans with housing issues. During the foreclosure crisis, Logan implemented a collaboration between the court and Community Legal Aid to represent low-income residents in danger of losing their homes. He played a crucial role in creating the Clarence Darrow Clinic, a judicially-led pro bono legal clinic that covers referrals in consumer and housing matters from all courts in the county. Northeast Ohioans who are unable to afford legal counsel and who are facing housing and collection matters can consult with Clarence Darrow Clinic for pro bono legal assistance. Logan earned his undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University and his law degree from Capital University Law School. ■ The Ohio Access to Justice Foundation Voice of Justice Award: Ohio Sen. Nathan Manning – The Ohio Access to Justice Foundation’s Voice of Justice Award recognizes a person or organization who demonstrates outstanding leadership and advocacy on behalf of Ohioans who may need legal assistance to live stable, healthy and financially secure lives.

Mercy Health urges sun-safety awareness

un burns aren’t just painful side effects of summer vacations. This sun damage can also lead to serious health risks to your skin long after it’s faded away. Mercy Health is encouraging sun safety awareness and promoting the use of sunscreen ahead of the summer months to help reduce the rising rates of skin cancer from overexposure to UV rays. “Applying sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays and from the sun and that has an SPF of 30 or higher should also be part of your daily routine and reapplied throughout the day especially if you’ve been outside for an hour or more, particularly if you’ve been in water or sweating,” said Dr. Stephen Predebon, family medicine physician at Mercy Health — Columbiana Primary Care. Skin is the body’s largest organ and plays an important role in a person’s overall health. While sunscreen is vital to protecting someone’s skin, there are a multitude of ways people can protect themselves from damaging skin cells when enjoying their favorite outdoor activities this summer. Seeking shade for cover and even different clothing options, including cover ups, hats and sunglasses, are also recommended by experts to be sun safe. “Keeping your skin covered where you can, especially with clothing, is a great way to protect your skin. Whether you have a cover up, T-shirt or rash guard at the beach or pool helps keep you safe when you’re out in the sun for an extended period of time. Wide-

CANSTOCK

Wide-brimmed hats are helpful in protecting your face, neck and eyes.

brimmed hats are helpful in protecting your face, neck and eyes from the sun. Sunglasses are also helpful in protecting your eyes from the sun and can reduce the risk of future cataracts. In addition to being mindful of what you’re wearing, having a place to go for shade to give your skin a break from the sun is another tool to keep skin healthy this coming summer,” said Predebon. “It’s important to remember while each of these skin protection options are valuable, they are most effective when you use them collectively,” Predebon said. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., which is why it is critical to take care of your skin. While some might be at a higher risk for sun damage or skin cancer, harmful UV rays can impact anyone. This summer, enjoy your time outside, but be sun smart and protect your skin.

Great salads from the Homeplate crew: Pages 24

Kast Iron Soda brings a ‘fine fizz’ to downtown Salem BY RUSSELL BRICKEY

ver wanted to try raspberry ice cream made with the “Carolina Reaper,” the hottest pepper on the planet? Lesley Kline, the co-owner and proprietor of Kast Iron Soda Works, is getting set to churn a batch of this fiery frozen dessert in the back of her soda bar where she makes many of her own confections by hand. The “Raspberry Reaper,” as it is now called, is actually her daughter’s invention brewed up during a family dessert cooking contest. Such collaboration is appropriate for Kast Iron Soda Works, a family-owned, family-centered enterprise located on E. State Street in Salem. Kast Iron is one of several businesses operating in concert with other local businesses to revitalize the downtown area. “I love seeing the resurgence of Main Street America and then seeing that same resurgence here with other small businesses starting to pop up,” Kline says. “You can just see Salem coming back to life. And I just thought, how cool would it be to be in on that somehow and to be part of that.” So far it’s working, business is good, and at the end of Kast Iron’s inaugural year the ice cream is selling. The other flavors in the Kast Iron repertoire include mac-and-cheese (the frozen macaroni gives a nutty heft to the dessert), affogato (ice cream drenched in expresso), and more familiar flavors for traditionalists. Ironically, the very same week that Kline produced her cheesy concoction, Kraft produced their own version of Mac & Cheese ice cream. “I stood on my driveway and shouted ‘Noooo’ at the top of my lungs,” Kline says. It turns out that Kraft was celebrating National Mac & Cheese Day (July 14). The real showstopper, however, are the rows and rows of soft drinks from around the world that adorn the Kast Iron walls. The establishment boasts close to 600 different brands of soft drinks, some of which have yet to be taken out of storage. These include drinks dedicated to famous musicians (Ritchie Valens), infamous people (Al Capone), drinks brewed in-house (including homemade root beer), and drinks with a lot of unusual names (Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray Cola, Jones Fufu Berry Soda and Fitz Voodew Soda). Others include soft drinks from Mexico, various fruit punches, butterscotch soda, and soft drinks manufactured by a brewer from Washington state, Orca Beverage Inc., which specializes in out-of-circulation beverages. Moxie Original Elixir, for instance, was

Lesley and Wil Kline, owners of Kast Iron Soda in downtown Salem

originally sold as “nerve food” in the 1870s in the northeastern United States. Brewed from the gentian root, an alpine plant found in Asia, Moxie tastes like a cross between cream soda and a horehound candy. Needless to say, the majority of Kast Iron’s inventory would be difficult to find anyplace else. In fact, Kast Iron’s menu lists 50 categories of rare sodas. Unexpected flavors include Gross Gus Pimple Pop (marshmallow), Bacon with Chocolate Soda, Pickle Soda, Black Olive Soda, and Peanut Butter and Jelly Soda, among many others. Recently Kline visited a Salem local grade school and asked students to design flavors. One of these will actually be featured on the menu. Sour Blue Mango is a brand new soda unique to Kast Iron with true local roots. In addition, Kast Iron has a feature all but lost to modern restaurants, a working soda fountain which can make rich phosphates and ice cream floats. There is such variety in Kast Iron’s stock that bewildered customers are given the option of rolling dice and the ordering a beverage with a corresponding score off a chart. “We were looking for the wow factor,” Kline says, indicating the display behind the bar which holds over 300 different brands. “We wanted people to come in and just stare at that wall.” The inspiration for this Willy Wonka-esque enterprise was an antique store in Hunting, Ind. where the Kline family lived at the time. The store owners had set up an oldstyle soda counter at the back of their base-

ment. “It was not a sit-down place,” Kline says, “but it was just fun to see all the labels of different kinds of antique sodas.” When the family moved back to Ohio, they brought back two cases of rare sodas from the store. This selection then became a mini-soda-bar for the Kline children and their friends. “That’s one of the story lines,” Kline says about the Kast Soda Works creation narrative. “Another story line is just having grown up here,” Kline says. “I’ve watched Salem going from a flourishing downtown as most of this area has to not flourishing at all, kind of a ghost town.” When the family returned from Indiana, Salem was a ghost town compared to the place where Kline had grown up. “It was just sad to see because all of my memories were here.” After working for the Salem Area Sustainable Opportunity Development Center, Kline was inspired to do something. She found a space for rent on Facebook even though she did not know what would go in it. “My husband said, ‘What are we going to do downtown?” Kline remembers. “And I said, ‘I don’t know but the space is really cool.” The couple began to imagine the possibilities. “Our brains started going to the one thing that downtown Salem needed,” Kline says, “and that is a gathering place for the evenings.” Kline and her husband decided Salem needed a place “to get out and be with people,” she says. The Klines wanted a family-friendly environment people for all ages, where teenagers could hang out af-

ter school, adults could meet in a pub-like atmosphere without the alcohol, and families could find dessert after a night out. “We wanted an intergenerational and not just a kid-focused place with the vibe of a coffee house, but also with the feel of a bar where people can enjoy each other’s company without knowing each other.” This crossroads of story lines sparked the look and layout of Kast Iron Soda. “This is where our ideas just collided and our imaginations exploded in that very moment,” Kline said. The establishment sports booths, lounge-seating, and a board game room with a magnetic, wall-mounted Scrabble board. The Klines based their business design on the activities their children enjoyed. In fact, the name “Kast” comes from the initialization of their daughters’ first names: Karyle, Abigale, Syndy and Tory. The “Iron” in the title simply fell into place after that. Kast Iron’s ambiance is both old timey and chic modern. An open polished wood ceiling, wood walls and a polished wood floor are enhanced by industrial style light fixtures and bare brick walls. The space has the feel of the contemporary loft-style so popular in big city establishments offset by the pub-style booths and coffee-shop. The establishment hosts live music every second Saturday, and a local gaming expert, what the Klines dub a “game guru,” lends his expertise on occasion to traditional board game tournaments. Kast Iron will host just such a game day from 5-8 p.m. on June 1. Kast Iron is one of several success stories taking place in downtown Salem. Newly opened and reviving businesses include a record store, a comics store, a nature shop, a book store, a vintage toy store, a tattoo parlor, several cafes and restaurants, and Stone Age Gamer, a videogame outlet which went completely online during Covid but opened its doors again at the urgings of its neighbors to help generate foot traffic. Salem businesses have come together to support each other with the help of the Development Center and their own resources. These businesses will all work together for the upcoming Salem Super Cruise, for which Kast Iron will brew a special root beer which they hope to brand and sell regularly by the end of summer. As always, the focus is to bring the community together. As Kline says, “Our passion is people.” JUNE 2022 METROMONTHLY.NET 23

Key Lime Bars with Graham Cracker Crust RECIPE CONTRIBUTED BY STACEY ADGER

INGREDIENTS 12 large Graham cracker sections 2 tablespoons ground pecans 1/3 cup granulated sugar ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted 3 egg yolks (room temperature) 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz.) 4 teaspoons lime zest (approx. three limes) ½ cup key lime juice

PREPARATION Position rack in center of oven. Preheat to 350. Spray an 8x8 square baking pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper. Set aside. In a bowl, combine Graham cracker crumbs, ground pecans, sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter. Stir to combine. Make sure all the crumbs are moistened. Press crumbs into the bottom of baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, but leave oven on.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the yolks for 2 minutes. Add the condensed milk and continue to whisk for another 2 minutes. Stop the mixer, scrape down the sides. Add lime zest. With the mixer on low, drizzle in lime juice, let mixer run for 2 minutes once added. Mixture will be slightly thicker when done. Pour the filling into crust and bake for 15 minutes. Cool completely on rack. Filling will set as it cools. Refrigerate for 2 hours or more. Slice and serve chilled. Stacey Adger is a lifelong Youngstown resident.

Store-bought Italian dressing is good, but a homemade oil-and-vinegar dressing (with seasoning) is good, too. Let salad marinade in dressing for a half hour before serving. You can also wait and add salad dressing to individual servings. What makes this salad stand out is the fresh parsely. You can use a generous amount for a fresh, unique flavor). Garnish salad with a few pieces of Italian curly parsley.
