May is a great month for many reasons. It’s the month when we can legitimately plan activities that come with better weather – home-improvement projects, summer gardens, and Memorial Day weekend. And it’s also when Metro Monthly offers a Downtown Landmarks Tour to commemorate National Historic Preservation Month. This year, we’re also offering something a little different. In this issue, you’ll find a special guide to complement the May 13 tour. So if you’re unable to make the event, we’ve created three self-guided walkabouts for future use. We’ve designed each tour so they can be enjoyed in sections, or joined together in one complete tour. The first tour covers the skyscrapers of Central Square. The second takes in the legacy commercial buildings of West Federal Street. A third covers the important – and sometimes unheralded – buildings found on downtown side streets. Of course, we’d like to have you to join us on May 13. But if that’s not possible, we’ve provided these guides for your future use and enjoyment. Also this month: Contributing writer Sean Posey looks at the proliferation of local public art. If you haven’t been on Glenwood Avenue recently, a series of strategically placed murals was created in tandem with the community development work of the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. (YNDC). Yet, as Sean points out, this is not a recent phenomenon. Public art has been part of the local community for decades. We hope you’ll enjoy these features – plus the Wine Guy, our monthly calendar and dining guide. See you next month when we unleash Enjoy Summer – our annual guide to summer activities in the Mahoning Valley and beyond.

A panel of community judges chose the winners from among more than 50 entries submitted by organizations throughout the region. The award recognizes cities or organizations that have made an impact in the community. The Dominion Foundation, philanthropic arm of Dominion Resources Inc., Dominion East Ohio’s parent company, funds the Community Impact grants. The Dominion Foundation is dedicated to the economic, physical and social health of the communities the company serves. “This year’s award-winning organizations developed and carried out some very ambitious and creative projects that really impressed our panel of judges,” said Jeff Murphy, Dominion East Ohio vice president. “These projects demonstrate the major role that our region’s non-profit and economic development agencies play in improving their local communities.” Since 1996, Dominion East Ohio has distributed more than $1.3 million in Community Impact Awards to organizations throughout its service area. This year’s Community Impact Award winners are: Brite Cleveland received $15,000 for its Brite Winter Festival, an outdoor winter arts and music event that annually attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the city.

The book’s official launch will occur from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 29 at the B&O Station Banquet Hall, 530 Mahoning Ave., Youngstown. Like other books from Belt Publishing, including “A Detroit Anthology” and “Rust Belt Chic: The Cleveland Anthology,” “Car Bombs to Cookie Tables” resists boosterism. Instead, the book is filled with stories born of struggle and conflict, stories that have shaped the values and lives of people from the Mahoning Valley. The editors, Youngstown natives Jacqueline Marino and Will Miller, said they wanted to publish works that confronted stereotypes and relayed fresh insights on growing up, working, and making art in Youngstown. “Car Bombs to Cookie Tables: The Youngstown Anthology” includes an original story by “Modern Family” star and Youngstown native Ed O’Neill, as well as contributions by leading literary voices, including the novelist and shortstory writer Christopher Barzak and Rust Belt poet Rochelle Hurt. Former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett penned a personal essay about what he’s learned on the route from promise to prison to redemption. A number of documentary photographers, including Whitney Tressel, who shoots for Esquire and other national magazines, also contributed works. “We weren’t looking for nostalgia,” Marino said. “We were looking for brave, honest accounts about how being from Youngstown $250 in matching funds to make recommended safety improvements.

Through this book, they’ll be able to see and hear a side of the city only natives truly know.” In age, the book’s 45 contributors span seven decades. It includes original narrative nonfiction by Sarah Stankorb and C Lee Tressel, as well as essays by people who have dedicated part of their lives Shop of the Cleveland Browns, Banyan Box and The Wardrobe, which opened in the fall.

Edward McClelland, author of “Nothin’ E but bu Blue Skies: The Heyday, Hard Times and an Hopes of America’s Industrial Heartland,” lan said, “ ‘Car Bombs to Cookie Tables’ is far more than an elegy for the glory days of the steel industry; it’s also a blueprint for reinventing a city that doesn’t belong on the scrap heap. From a 34-year-old mayor to a 29-year-old Congressman to an urban gardener tending the vacant lot outside her home, young people have more influence in Youngstown than in any other city in America. Their voices are in this book, along with colorful tales of boxers, punk-rock scenesters, steelworkers, and shady politicians, reminding us why it’s impossible to feel as sentimental about suburbia as it is about a struggling Rust Belt hometown.” For more information, contact co-editors Jacqueline Marino and Will Miller at youngstownanthology@gmail.com.

Monthly column: Page 19

Public art brightens neighborhoods, seeks to spur revival BY SEAN POSEY METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

ver the past decade, a new era of urban revitalization has brought young professionals, Millennials and retirees back to central cities. This influx of residents and tax revenue is helping to bolster faltering neighborhoods and distressed downtowns. Along with this urban renaissance comes a new emphasis on public art. Many embattled cities in the 1970s looked to pubic art as a way to beautify corridors and help check the spread of graffiti. Today, cities from Omaha to Philadelphia are experiencing a new explosion of visual art in public spaces, and now Youngstown is getting in on the act. Youngstown’s experience with public art is both recent and occasionally controversial. In 1978, months after the closing of the Sheet and Tube Campbell Works, the Youngstown Area Arts Council commissioned artist George Segal to create a sculpture immortalizing the role of steel in the area’s culture. “The Steelmakers,” a lifelike cast of two local steelworkers and an accompanying model of an open-hearth furnace, made its debut on Federal Plaza in 1980. The sight of the bronze statues downtown polarized the community. Some saw them as a beautiful memorialization of the city’s industrial heritage; others viewed “The Steelmakers” as an unnecessary reminder of an era Youngstown was struggling to forget. After being vandalized multiple times, the city relocated it in the 1990s to the newly constructed Youngstown Historical Center for Industry and Labor. During the past few decades, public art has played an increasing role in the expanding campus of Youngstown State University. In 1990, the state established the Ohio Percent for Arts Program. Whenever the legislature earmarks funds totaling $4 million or more for a public building, 1 percent of the total must be allotted for artwork.

In 2012, local artist Christian Mrosko painted the first of a two-part mural on a building near the Youngstown Playhouse. The project, done in coordination with the Playhouse and YNDC, aimed to not only beautify part of the Glenwood corridor, but also to promote local theater and the diversity of the surrounding neighborhoods.

Three public art projects have been funded since that time at YSU: an untitled piece by Walter Gordinier at Beeghly Hall; “Inner Circles,” by David Black at Moser Hall; and “Corpus Mirabile,” by Miguel Gomez at the Williamson College of Business in 2011. Controversy also followed Black’s piece when it appeared on campus. An editorial in The Jambar at the time questioned the use of funds for the project, but the real issue involved confusion over funding. “That money is earmarked by state law; it doesn’t come out of tuition money,” said Susan Russo, a former art professor at the university. In addition, several privately funded pieces have been commissioned for the university grounds, including a bronze sculpture of the university’s first president, Howard Jones, and former Penguins coach Dominic Rosselli. At one time the city’s downtown and commercial corridors glowed with the neon lights of theater marquees. Colorful painted advertisements graced the sootcovered buildings and enormous blade signs greeted window shoppers out for a day on the town. Many of those vestiges of the past are now gone, but a dedicated group of local artists are working to bring new visual life to the downtown. In 2007, printmaker Jack Carlton and a group of local artists began hanging a series of photomontages on the scarred shell of the Paramount Theater. Consisting of historical photographs from the Mahoning Valley Historical Society, and lithographs of paintings from the permanent collection at the Butler Institute of American Art, the “Museum Without Walls” project is designed to bring public art to the once bustling downtown. “In 1993, I came back to Youngstown after many years away,” Carlton said. “I went downtown on a Sunday and I couldn’t believe my eyes. ‘My, God! It’s devastated!’ I thought.” See MURALS, Page 7

By the time of Youngstown’s bicentennial in 1996, printmaker Jack Carlton had convinced a series of local artists to allow him to hang their work over abandoned commercial window spaces downtown. He called it the “Windows Project.”

The earth-toned mural depicts the history of the Idora Park along with portraits of children and residents currently living in the Idora neighborhood.

MURALS, from Page 6 By the time of the city’s bicentennial in 1996, Carlton had convinced a series of local artists to allow him to hang their work over abandoned commercial window spaces downtown. He called it the “Windows Project.” With the permission and cooperation of the Mahoning Valley Historical Society and the Butler, Carlton expanded the project to include hanging large vinyl photomontages on the side of abandoned storefronts all along West Federal Street. The project immediately caught on with the public. “Just being able to put these in windows or on the buildings and see people walk by and talk about them… It was just a delight,” Carlton said. The subsequent demolition of the Paramount forced Carlton to remove many of the images. However, he plans on expanding the project to new venues downtown in the near future. In 2010, the Idora Neighborhood Asso-

ciation, in partnership with Art Youngstown, spearheaded the creation of a mural welcoming visitors and passersby to the neighborhood. Painted entirely by residents, it was the first piece of public art to appear on the South Side since Ode Aduma, attempting to show a new spirit of black pride, painted a series of African inspired murals on Hillman Street in the early ‘70s. Two years later the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation hired

The earth-toned mural depicts the history of the Idora Park along with portraits of children and residents currently living in the Idora neighborhood. The executive director of the YNDC, Ian Beniston, views public art as a way to “bring some vibrancy, color and positive energy” to the Glenwood commercial corridor. In 2014, the YNDC commissioned two artists, Jeremy Jarvis and Tommy Morgan, to paint two more murals—one on the side of La France Dry cleaners on Glenwood and the other on the southern wall of the former Park Inn. YNDC drew inspiration for sponsoring the projects from the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program—the largest of its kind in the nation. “I think there’s potential to do it all over the city,” Beniston said. “The arts are going to be a critical component of some corridors of the city if they are going to have a productive future.” In 2012, local artist Christian Mrosko painted the first of a two-part mural on a building near the Youngstown Playhouse. The project, done in coordination with the Playhouse and YNDC, aimed to not only beautify part of the Glenwood corridor, but also to promote local theater and the diversity of the surrounding neighborhoods. “Large public art works are important to the development of culture and civilization,” according to Mrosko. The larger than life images of actors and dancers attracted the interest of Community Corrections Association CEO Richard Billak, who commissioned Mrosko to paint a mural on the Larew Building near the Market Street Bridge. The colorful mural depicts the vibrant nature of downtown nightlife. Mrosko would like to see more murals, especially in the central business district. “Having large-scale murals downtown would be particularly stunning. You can walk right up to them; it’s more effective than just driving by.” After a short and sometimes controversial relationship with public art, Youngstown is slowly but surely expanding venues and opportunities for artists to engage the public.

Ursuline Center sets 2015 Labyrinth Walk schedule he Ursuline Center, located 4280 Road in Canfield, has announced its 2015 Guided Labyrinth Walk schedule. Walks generally take 20 minutes to 1 hour. All persons of faith are invited to participate in these free events. The Ursuline Center Labyrinth is a ministry of the Ursuline Sisters of Youngstown and open year-round from dawn to dusk for all persons of faith. There is no cost to use the Labyrinth, which is handicapped-accessible. The site also offers parking. Printed guides are provided at the Labyrinth’s entrance, which give suggestions for following the path, but there is no right or wrong way to experience the sacred walk. To learn more about the Ursuline Center Labyrinth or to view a short video, visit www. theursulinecenter.org or call 330-799-4941. What Is a labyrinth? – The labyrinth is an ancient pattern found in many cultures around the world. Labyrinth designs were found on pottery, tablets and tiles date as far back as 4,000 years. Many patterns are based on spirals from nature. In Native American culture, it is called the Medicine Wheel and Man in the Maze. The Celts described it as the Never Ending Circle. It is also called the Kabala in mystical Judaism. One feature they all share is that they have one path that winds in a circuitous way to the center. The labyrinth design at the Ursuline Center is a replica of the 11-circuit labyrinth of Chartres Cathedral in France. This pattern, once central to cathedral culture, was inlaid into the stone floor in 1201. Labyrinths are currently being used worldwide as a way to quiet the mind, find balance, and encourage meditation, insight and celebration. They are open to all people as a non-denominational, cross-cultural tool of well-being. They can be found in medical centers, parks, churches, schools, prisons, memorial parks and retreat centers as well as in people’s backyards. The labyrinth is not a maze. There are no tricks to it and no dead ends. It has a single circuitous path that winds into the center. The person walking it uses the same path to return and the entrance then becomes the exit. The path is in full view, which allows a person to be quiet and focus internally. Generally there are three stages to the walk: releasing on the way in, receiving in the center and returning; that is, taking back out into the world that which you have received.

Local architects add to story of city’s skyline ◆ Editor’s note: Downtown Youngstown illustrates the city’s rise as a major steel producer in the early decades of the 20th century. Much has been said about the national architects who built in Youngstown, but many local architects also created significant buildings of enduring beauty and importance. The following list spotlights landmarks created by a few notable local firms. It was compiled by Rebecca Rogers, a local historic-preservation consultant based in Poland.

Landmarks tour in memory of Robert D. Fitzer – July 27,1956-May 16, 2007

obert David Fitzer, an instructor of clarinet at Youngstown State University’s Dana School of Music, died on May 16, 2007 following an eight-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Bob was born in Youngstown, Ohio on July 27, 1956 to James Robert Fitzer and Dolores Elvira (Severino) Fitzer, who were Dana School of Music faculty members. Bob was widely known in Youngstown for his political and community activism. He was a Democrat, a member of the First Unitarian UniROBERT D. FITZER versalist Church, and a Cleveland Indians fan. He served on the faculty of the Dana School

of Music since 1996 and was director of the Clarinet Studies program. Bob began musical studies with pianist Gene Rush (Tennessee State University) and with pianist Harold Danko (Eastman School of Music) and began clarinet studies at age 10 with Carl Marks Jr. He graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelor of arts in performance.

Architect for Henry Ford designed Stambaugh, Mahoning Bank buildings

Proud to be a Youngstown tradition

he skyline of Detroit and the development of American industry would have been much different without Albert Kahn. As the leading industrial architect of the 20th century, Kahn’s revolutionary engineering helped Henry Ford streamline the assembly line and achieve mass production. Kahn’s pioneering use of reinforced concrete ALBERT KAHN allowed for wider expanses of open, unobstructed space in factories and public buildings. His brother, Julius, patented the process and Albert used it in thousands of factories and public buildings in the U.S. and abroad. Although his 1903 Packard Automotive Plant in Detroit was the first major factory to use reinforced concrete, Kahn’s Highland Park plant for Ford was a turning point for both the auto maker and modern American manufacturing. In addition to creating efficient production spaces for automotive clients, Kahn’s designs also considered the comfort and safety of workers. Factories typically had large, operating windows that allowed light and ventilation into the workplace and the buildings were fireproof. Although Kahn embraced modern technology, he also created residential, commercial and institutional architecture that was rooted in history. Like many of his contemporaries, Kahn used classical elements in his public buildings and his homes for Detroit’s auto elite were often steeped in traditional English architecture. Although Kahn remained in Detroit, his brother and the Trussed Concrete Steel Co. relocated to Youngstown in 1906. Around this time, Albert got some of his earliest work in the IMAGE COURTESY OF MARK C. PEYKO AND PRESERVATION YOUNGSTOWN Mahoning Valley.

This NeoClassical Revival structure maintains much of its original integrity. ✪ Mahoning County Courthouse, 120 Market St. The Mahoning County Courthouse is one of the finest buildings in the area. The firm of Owsley, Owsley and Boucherle designed the $2 million structure, which was completed in 1910. They chose the popular Second Renaissance Revival style for their grand new building.

It has a smooth granite exterior, with rusticated stone on the first floor. Decorative pediments frame many of the building’s windows and there are strategically placed carved floral swags on the exterior.

RESTAURANTS Wine Guy rounds up recent tastes, offers picks

n unseasonably cold and snowy March saw a number of great wine events for those who ventured out, as well as the opening of Al Franceschelli’s new wine shop at 45 South Ave. Located at the former Ohio Edison credit union building, A&C Beverage is just what downtown Youngstown needed. When I visited the store, they were still in the process of stocking it, but the wine and beer selections are growing day by day. They’re open till late on weekdays and Saturdays, with Sunday hours as well. A grand opening is being set for late April or early May, and I hope to see readers there to celebrate another business contributing to the downtown revitalization. In late February I attended Cork & Cap’s monthly wine dinner at Vernon’s Café in Niles. Nick and Loretta Uroseva did a great job as usual pairing their wines to Vernon Cesta’s fantastic menu offerings. A 2013 Murphy Goode “The Fume” Fume Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc, $12.99 on sale from $14.99) from California was chosen to go with our first course of crispy seafood flatbread bruschetta. The bright citrus and melon flavors of Murphy’s Fume (a French term for “smoky”) Blanc meshed nicely with the bruschetta. Murphy’s Fume Blanc should be on your list for upcoming spring and summer get-togethers. Our second entrée of grilled chicken with onions and peppers in a Chardonnay wine sauce was paired to a glass of 2010 Spellbound Golden Chardonnay ($15.99, on sale from $19.99) from California. The lush pineapple and kiwi flavors, with a classic vanilla-tinged finish, with were a perfect foil for Vernon’s delicious grilled chicken. Paccheri (large tube-shaped) pasta with shaved reggiano parmigiana cheese was served as our third course of the evening. A tasty glass of 2011 Monsanto Monrosso Chianti was poured to make a perfect “touch of Tuscany” food and wine combination. This mostly Sangiovese-based (with a touch of Merlot added) Tuscan red offers fresh cherry and strawberry flavors with a clean fruity finish tinged with spicy earth notes. Lightly breaded pan-fried veal with a baby arugula salad topped with shaved parmigiana cheese was presented with a glass of 2013 Ravenswood “Besieged” Red Blend ($16.99, on sale from $19.99) from Sonoma County. This flavorful blend of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Carignane, Syrah,

MAY 2015 | METROMONTHLY.NET

WINE GUY, From Page 17 dining experience. I am looking forward to the next Cork & Cap wine dinner May 17. My first store tasting in March took me to Cork & Cap’s store on Elm Road for their March 14 “second Saturday” wine taste. Heidelberg wine representative Christine Lapmardo was on hand pouring wine samples and describing her wines to all the attendees. The wine taste featured Kenwood Vineyards’ restaurant-inspired selections, which were very interesting. Three wines really stood out, including Kenwood’s 2010 Pinot Gris ($11.99 on sale from $18.99) from the Russian River Valley of California. Crisp citrus fruit flavors with a hint of melon and almond on the nose produce a refreshing wine that will be great this summer with grilled chicken or fish. My next pick was Kenwood’s 2012 Vulupa Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley ($15.99 on sale from $19.99). This well-priced Pinot Noir produces classic cherry and strawberry flavors leading to a finish tinged with vanilla and spice. Baked salmon would be a great partner for this easy-drinking Pinot Noir. Kenwood’s 2010 Vulupa Zinfandel was my next pick from this tasting. This tasty blend of 91 percent Zinfandel and 9 percent Petite Sirah (for structure) produces a bold deeply colored red that exudes plummy red fruit flavors that should go well with spicy barbecued ribs and chicken. My next stop in March was Vintage Estate Wine and Beer’s store tasting on March 21. Two exceptional white wines and a red really stood out at this tasting. My first pick was the 2011 Umani Ronchi Verdicchio ($11.99) from the Marches region of Italy. Verdicchio is widely grown in this region, producing a fresh juicy white wine with oodles of white peach and pineapple flavors, finishing clean with a hint of salinity (saltiness). This is a great wine for someone looking for something different and who is willing to explore. Poached white fish in a butter wine sauce would be terrific with this tasty Italian white wine. My next pick hails from the Columbia Valley region of Washington. The Cordidae 2013“Mirth” Chardonnay ($11.99) is textbook Columbia Valley Chardonnay at its best with fresh upfront apple fruit flavors tinged with Meyer lemon. This fresh, clean-tasting Chardonnay would be outstanding with boneless chicken breast drizzled in a lemon butter sauce. My red pick from this tasting was the 2012 Maggio Petite Sirah from Lodi, California. This is a big robust red with lots of dark red fruit and berry flavors, finishing long with a touch of cocoa and licorice. Roast beef hot out of the oven would be a great match for this large-format red. In April, Cork & Cap featured a number of outstanding Australian wines. My first pick was the 2013 Yalumba Y Series Unwooded Chardonnay

($11.99 on sale from $16.99). Clear fresh citrus flavors lead to a flinty long finish reminiscent of a fine Cru Chablis from Burgundy. My next choice was the 2013 The Guilty Shiraz ($22.99 on sale from $26.99) from a single vineyard planted in 1898. Deep black fruit flavors and a long, lush, pepper-tinged 36 METROMONTHLY.NET | APRIL 2015

finish make this textbook Aussie Shiraz a joy to drink. Vintage Estate Wine and Beer’s April 18 tasting featured some lovely organic wines from around the globe. My first sample was a glass of 2012 Snoqualmie Organic Riesling ($12.99) from Washington’s Columbia Valley region. Snoqualmie’s Organic Riesling is a touch driertasting than their regular Riesling, but features the same upfront apple and pear fruit flavors leading to a clean, citrus-tinged finish. Both dry or sweet wine drinkers should be satisfied with this quality Washington State Riesling. My red pick from this tasting hails from the La Mancha region of Spain. The Organic 2009 Venta Morelles Tempranillo ($10.99) is handharvested and aged in French oak, producing a delicious cherry-tinged red that should be right at home with summertime fare. In early April, I attended a Vintner Select Distributors trade tasting at the Black Pig Restaurant in Cleveland (Ohio City) featuring Rhone wines from the Alain Junguenet Collection. Two very affordable wines stood out for upcoming summer dining. The Domaine Lafond 2014 Lirac Blanc ($19.99) is a delicious blend of all-organic Grenache Blanc (50 percent), Roussanne (30 percent) and Viognier (20 percent), producing a fresh, floral and citrusy white wine that should be just right with pan-fried Lake Erie perch. Domaine Lafond’s Cotes Du Rhone Rouge (70 percent Grenache and 30 percent Syrah) at $14.99 is an absolute steal if you’re looking for a bold yet smooth red to pair with burgers and ribs hot off the grill. Lush, spicy red fruit flavors give way to a pepper-tinged finish that seems to go on forever. In future issues, I will review some other great wines from this tasting. I wanted to take a moment this month to salute three well-loved members of the local wine community who recently passed away. Lou DiNunzio of Lou’s Beer and Wine Cellar in Austintown was an invaluable source of information for the past 40 years. Not only was he a wine expert who always made time to impart his knowledge in a friendly, down-to-earth way, but he was a great and generous member of the community as well. Lori Elston was wellknown as a wine rep for local distributors for many years, always ready to share her expertise and friendship; I’ve shared many glasses over the years with Lori and her husband, Ron. Bill McNab, who along with his wife Joyce attended the majority of wine events I’ve been to over the past 10 years, was a kind, fun, inquisitive wine aficionado, and he will be greatly missed. Upcoming events include a Cork & Cap May 17 dinner – call the store for details. The Fifth Floor in downtown Youngstown will host Vino in the City 7 p.m. May 28. Regular tastings include the Upstairs Restaurant’s Wine Down, third Thursday tasting; Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland, every Saturday; Barrel 33, every other week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday; Vintage Estate, third Saturday tasting; and Cork & Cap second Saturday tasting. If your restaurant, shop or charity event is having an upcoming wine tasting, please email me a month in advance to wineguy@ metromonthly.net
