n Social Security card.

n Birth certificate.

n Insurance card.

n Utility bill.

MAHONING VALLEY

Hannay Charitable Fund at Community Foundation

The Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley is welcoming Roberta M. Hannay to its family as founder of its newest donor advised fund. The Roberta M. Hannay Charitable Fund was established at the beginning of May with a contribution of just over $1 million.

Hannay is a descendent of the Wick, Clegg, Marsteller and Pollock families. Her ancestors sold real estate through the Connecticut Land Bank – including to John Young, who eventually founded the city of Youngstown here on the purchased land – and were magnates of the local steel and railroad industries.

Throughout her life, Hannay has supported a wide range of charitable organizations and projects that aim to improve life for people and animals alike. For her work, Hannay was honored with the Outstanding Philanthropist Award by the Mahoning-Shenango Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals in 2012.

Among the organizations she has supported over the years are: Alzheimer’s Association – Mahoning Valley Walk to End Alzheimer’s; Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County, Inc.; Compass Family and Community Services’ Sojourner House; Mahoning Valley Historical Society; Mahoning Valley Sojourn to the Past; Students Motivated by the Arts, and, in particular, Arts at Liberty Schools program; Youngstown Cityscape; and the Youngstown State University Foundation – Academic Achievers.

Looking to gain support from the Community Foundation’s staff for processing annual gifts, Hannay established this donor-advised fund under CFMV’s umbrella. The fund will also be the recipient of a future legacy gift that will ensure perpetual support of many impactful organizations and programs in the Mahoning Valley.

“We are excited to work with Roberta and support her as she continues making contributions to the many important projects and programs at work here in the Valley,” says Shari Harrell, president of the Community Foundation. “We are also glad to put our new partnership with Stifel into action. We look forward to working with them to help connect local philanthropists to the many meaningful initiatives in our community.”

The Ursuline Education & Wellness Center, 4280 Shields Road, began its 13th year of labyrinth walks in May. Themed and guided labyrinth walks are offered by trained facilitators during the warm-weather season.

Each walk is led by a different facilitator, either an Ursuline Sister or associate, with the meditation centering on a related theme.

This year’s overarching theme is compassion, a virtue central to the programs of Ursuline Sisters Mission.

The fund marks the first CFMV fund held at Stifel, the Foundation’s newest investment management partner.

The Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley strives to be a leader and advocate for strategic philanthropy, partnering with donors to anchor a permanent and growing endowment and making investments in the Mahoning Valley that improve the quality of life for all residents. The Community Foundation has certification from the Community Foundation National Standards Board.

Jewish Federation effort to combat antisemitism

The Youngstown Area Jewish Federation is partnering with the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism and a wide coalition of Jewish and non-Jewish groups to raise awareness and empower all Americans to come together to prevent hatred and intolerance towards the Jewish community.

Wean Foundation offers facility to community

The Raymond John Wean Foundation seeks to “Activate the Space” in 2023 by extending the use of their state-of-the-art facility to those interested in hosting a meeting, event, workshop, presentation, luncheon or other gathering. The Foundation has two rooms available for community use.

All people of faith are invited to attend.

rise of antisemitism and mobilize people outside the Jewish community to help address growing hate and intolerance.

A blue square emoji is being used in the effort. Why the blue square? The blue square represents 2.4 percent of the image, the same percentage as the Jewish population in the United States. Although Jews make up 2.4 percent of the American population, they are the victims of 55 percent of religious-based hate crimes.

Here are a few actions individuals can take to #StandUptoJewishHate and join this national movement:

n Post and share #image.png – an emoji already available on most mobile devices – on your social media channels, email signatures, and text messages, alongside a message of support against hate and intolerance. Visit jewishyoungstown.org for a guide on how to post and share #image.png.

n Speak up and share your personal story with antisemitism.

n Follow the #StandUpToJewishHate campaign on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok to keep up-to-date with image. png and learn more about antisemitism.

Also available is The Hatch, an industrial style conference room featuring the historic building’s original exposed brick walls and beams. Located on the Garden Level of the facility, The Hatch can accommodate up to 12 people.

With convening and partnerships a core component of the Foundation’s work, the goal is to provide an inclusive community and civic engagement space for groups and organizations to utilize. To encourage accessibility, fees will be waived for 2023.

Voter identification requirements (types of valid I.D.)

Ohio law requires that every voter, upon appearing at the polling place to vote on Election

Day, must announce his or her full name and current address and provide proof of identity. There are several types of valid photo identification.

n Ohio driver’s license.

n State of Ohio I.D. card.

n Interim I.D. form issued by the Ohio BMV.

n A U.S. passport.

n A U.S. passport card.

n U.S. military I.D. card.

n Ohio National Guard I.D. card.

n U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs I.D. card. All photo I.D.s must have the following:

n An expiration date that has not passed.

n A photograph of the voter.

n The voter’s name, which must substantially conform to the voter’s name as it appears in the poll list or in the poll book.

• An unexpired Ohio Driver License, State I.D. Card, or Interim Documentation with your former address is an acceptable form of I.D. when your current address is in the poll book.

• The BMV issues Ohio Interim Documentation until the applicant receives their new I.D. through the mail. A driver’s license or state identification card in the old or new format, the Ohio Interim Documentation, and a voter’s old, hole-punched driver’s license or state I.D. card are acceptable forms of identification for voting, as long as the expiration date has not passed.

• If the voter changed their name and provides proof of the legal name change, completes and signs Form 10-L, and is registered within the precinct, the voter’s name on the photo I.D. may be different from the voter’s reported change of name.

• A voter who moves within the precinct (and completes a Voter Registration Form) or provides proof of legal name change (and completes Form 10-L) votes a regular ballot.

Unacceptable types of identification

Ohio law prohibits acceptance of the following forms of I.D.:

n Driver’s license or photo identification card issued by a state other than Ohio.

n Social Security card.

n Birth certificate.

n Insurance card.

n Utility bill.

n Bank statement.

n Government check.

n Paycheck.

n Other government document.

n Any registration acknowledgment notice from the county board of elections.

Provisional ballots

If you do not have any of the above forms of identification, you may cast a provisional ballot.

If you do not provide one of the above forms of photo I.D., you will still be able to vote using a provisional ballot. However, for that ballot to be counted, you must return to the board of elections no later than four days following Election Day to provide a qualifying form of identification. If you do not have a photo I.D. because of a re -

ligious objection to being photographed, you may complete an affidavit of religious objection and have your provisional ballot count. Visit www.ohiosos.gov/elections/voters/provisional-voting/ for more information. Steps to request and vote an absentee ballot

n Complete the absentee ballot request form.

n Once you have completed your application by providing all of the required information print and sign it.

n Mail the request form back to your own county board of elections. Board mailing addresses are available at OhioSoS.gov/boards.

n Wait to receive your ballot in the mail from your county board of elections. If you have questions about your absentee ballot request, you should call your county board of elections or you can track the status of your ballot request as well as your voted absentee ballot through the Voter Toolkit.

n Return your voted ballot.

• If you return your absentee ballot by mail, it must be postmarked no later than the day before Election Day and received by your county board of elections no later than four days after the election. By state law, a postmark does not include a date marked by a postage evidence system such as a postage meter. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) estimates that it may take two to five days for your voted absentee ballot to be delivered to your board of elections by mail.

• If you are returning your voted ballot by mail during the week before Election Day, you should take it to USPS no later than the day before Election Day and ensure it receives a postmark as follows:

• If you use a postage label purchased at a USPS customer service window or vending machine, the date on the label is the postmark. This is the USPS-recommended way to postmark your ballot.

• If you use postage stamps, ask that it be postmarked.

• You should not use a postage meter or an online service (such as stamps.com) to affix postage. It is your responsibility to make sure the ballot has enough postage.

• If you return your ballot to the board in person, or if a near relative delivers it for you, the board of elections must receive your ballot no later than 7:30 p.m. on Election Day. (Near relative includes the voter’s spouse or the voter’s father, mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, grandfather, grandmother, brother, or sister of the whole or half blood, or the son, daughter, adopting parent, adopted child, stepparent, stepchild, uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece.)

• If you are a member of the uniformed services or a voter outside of the United States, ballots must be received by the fourth day after the election. Sign your identification envelope by the close of polls on Election Day or return in person by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day.

• If you do not vote your absentee ballot and instead decide to go to your assigned polling place on Election Day, you must vote a provisional ballot.

Note: No voted ballot may be returned to a board of elections by fax or e-mail. If a voted ballot is returned by fax or e-mail, it will not be accepted, processed, or counted.

OWR sets June 8 ‘Carmen Jones’ fundraiser

Opera Western Reserve will present “Bizet to Belafonte: A Southern Soiree on the Promenade” as its 6th annual spring fundraiser. The event occurs 6:30 p.m., Thursday, June 8 at Stambaugh Auditorium in Youngstown.

The evening will include a screening of the film “Carmen Jones,” and a Southern-style buffet dinner inspired by the motion picture. Additionally, there will be a cash bar and raffle items. Movie concessions will be sold during the film.

• 7:30 p.m. Guest arrival for the film.

• 8 p.m. The film “Carmen Jones” begins and includes a 15 minute intermission.

The film “Carmen Jones” is Oscar Hammerstein II’s 1943 Broadway adaptation of Bizet’s renowned opera “Carmen.”

The 1954 film tells a story of love, betrayal, and tragedy. Carmen Jones (Dorothy Dandridge), a free-spirited woman from North Carolina and tempestuous employee of a parachute factory during World War II, captures the attention of many men throughout the film. Carmen sets her sights on young army officer Joe (Harry Belafonte) who is engaged to Cindy Lou (Olga James).

After Carmen gets into a fight with another woman, she gets arrested and placed in Joe’s charge. Captivated by Carmen’s attractiveness, Joe escorts her to her old neighborhood where, after killing a sergeant sent to retrieve him, he leaves the army.

Fortune teller Frankie (Pearl Bailey) foresees a doomed future for Carmen and Joe. Then, the boxer, Husky Miller (Joe Adams) sweeps Carmen off her feet, which leads to tragic consequences.

The film and Bizet’s “Carmen” follow similar plots, but Hammerstein heavily adapted the libretto for the opera from the original French for his Broadway production.

Daiquiri

The daiquiri is often described by connoisseurs as one of the original classic cocktails. The drink first emerged in the 1890s and is named for a small village in Cuba. In the late twentieth century, the daiquiri became known as a frozen drink, but this recipe is faithful to the original.

¾ ounce simple syrup

½ ounce lime juice

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

Cable Car

This simple but sophisticated cocktail is guaranteed to keep you as cool as a San Francisco summer. The cable car emerged from the mind of bartender Tony Abou-Ganim at the famed Starlight Room and is what you might call a new classic cocktail. Any spice rum will work in this drink, but something from the upper shelves of your local liquor store is recommended. Grand Marnier can be substituted for the Curaçao.

In a cocktail shaker combine:

1 ½ ounces spiced rum

¾ ounce orange Curaçao or Grand Marnier

1 ounce lemon juice

½ ounce simple syrup

Shake with ice and then strain into a cocktail glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar.

Southside

WINE GUY PICK

Jaume Serra Cristalino Cava Brut

Just in time to welcome summer, the Jaume Serra Cristalino Cava Brut is a very well-priced Spanish bubbly. Clean citrus flavors are nicely balanced, earning a 92 rating from The Tasting Panel magazine. It’s a great time to try it, since it’s currently on sale for under $15.

– John Webster

Actual gin became a rare luxury during the days of Prohibition. Much of what was produced fell under the heading of “bathtub gin,” which usually consisted of grain alcohol mixed with juniper oil and glycerin. The poor taste of this concoction necessitated that it be mixed in a cocktail. The Southside is thought to have emerged with the gangster set on Chicago’s Southside during the Roaring Twenties.

1½ ounces gin

¾ ounce lemon juice

½ ounce simple syrup

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with mint sprigs.

HOMEPLATE HOMESTYLE German-Style Cole Slaw

Miss Lydia’s Fried Chicken

PREPARED BY THE METRO MONTHLY STAFF

Serve hot or cold. This is a large recipe. The remaining dry ingredients can be stored in an airtight container for later use.

INGREDIENTS

5 pounds flour

½ cup poultry seasoning

½ cup garlic powder

½ cup ground black pepper

¼ cup cayenne pepper

¼ cup paprika

¼ cup salt

PREPARATION

You’ll need two large bowls. In the first large bowl, add the seasonings to the flour. Mix well with a beater or whisk.

In the second bowl (for the wash), take 1 cup of the flour mixture and mix with 1 cup cold water.

Dip the chicken pieces into the wash, then coat in the dry flour mixture.

In an electric frying pan or skillet, fry chicken in shortening at 360 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until chicken floats.

Remove and place on paper towels and allow chicken to drain and cool.

Serve hot or chill and eat cold. Great for picnics.

Editor’s note: A group of Mahoning Valley volunteers first met Lydia and her family during a series of post-Katrina work trips in New Orleans. Bill Peyko (father of Metro Monthly Publisher Mark C. Peyko) was part of the crew organized by the Diocese of Youngstown. Lydia shared the recipe with Metro Monthly.

Serve hot or cold. Lydia’s fried chicken is great for picnics.

RECIPE CONTRIBUTED

BY CHARLOTTE WENGLER TIBBETTS

This recipe offers an alternative to a traditional cole slaw dressing. Prepackaged, shredded cole slaw makes this an easy summer dish, and crisp, crumbled bacon give the salad added crunch. For a vegetarian option, try substituting toasted, salted sunflower seeds or pepitas (toasted, shelled pumpkin seeds).

INGREDIENTS

1 large bag of shredded cole slaw mix (16 to 32 ounces)

1 cup white sugar (you can use less, if desired)

¾ cup vegetable or canola oil

¾ cup apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon yellow mustard

1 teaspoon celery salt

1 teaspoon brown sugar

½ package crisp bacon, chopped (or more if you like)

Salt to taste

White pepper to taste (white pepper gives the salad zing)

PREPARATION

Put the white and brown sugars, celery salt, and mustard into a bowl.

Add the vinegar and whisk together, then slowly add oil. (I prefer less oil than vinegar, but you can adjust to your preference. Add the cabbage mix and lightly toss. Add salt and pepper to taste.
