CANDIDATES: ISSUES: State Issue 1

Question presented pursuant to Article XVI, Section 3 of the Constitution of the State of Ohio, which reads as follows: “At the general election to be held in the year one thousand nine hundred and thirtytwo, and in each twentieth year thereafter, the question: ‘Shall there be a convention to revise, alter, or amend the constitution[,]’ shall be submitted to the electors of the state; and in case a majority of the electors, voting for and against the calling of a convention, shall decide in favor of a convention, the general assembly, at its next session, shall provide, by law, for the election of delegates, and the assembling of such convention, as is provided in the preceding section; but no amendment of this constitution, agreed upon by any convention assembled in pursuance of this article, shall take effect, until the same shall have been submitted to the electors of the state, and adopted by a majority of those voting thereon.”

Shall there be a convention to revise, alter or amend the Ohio Constitution?

A majority “yes” vote is necessary for passage.

State Issue 2

Proposed Constitutional amendment to create a state-funded commission to draw legislative and congressional districts. If approved, the amendment would be effective 30 days after the election.

The proposed amendment would: Remove the authority of elected representatives and grant new authority to appointed officials to establish congressional and state legislative district lines.

Create a state funded commission of appointed officials from a limited pool of applicants to replace the aforementioned.

Require new legislative and congressional districts be immediately established by the commission to replace the most recent districts adopted by elected representatives, which districts shall not be challenged except by court order until the next federal decennial census and apportionment.

Repeal current constitutional requirements for drawing legislative districts that avoid splits to counties, townships, municipalities and city wards where possible, and when not possible, limiting such divisions to only one division per governmental unit, and also repeals requirements to form as many whole legislative districts solely within a county as possible.

Mandate the General Assembly to appropriate all funds necessary to adequately fund the activities of the commission.

Shall the amendment be approved?

A majority “yes” vote is necessary for passage.

USDA undersecretary visits, talks nutrition EMMALEE C. TORISK METRO MONTHLY STAFF WRITER

A

fter lunching with Wilson Middle School students in Youngstown last month, Kevin Concannon, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services, stopped by the Downtown Farmers Market on Central Square.

Out of 7,000 farmers markets in the U.S., just 2,000 of them, including the Downtown Farmers Market, have the ability to process electronic benefit transfers, or EBTs. This year, the USDA has been working with state departments of agriculture to “get that number up close to 6,000,” Concannon said.

Thanks to this technology, it’s easier for those who receive government benefits — including those from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, previously known as the Food Stamp Program — to have access to healthier food, he said. There are 46 million SNAP participants across the U.S., and 1.7 million of them are Ohioans.

“We want to make sure as much as possible that they not only get sufficient calories, but they get healthy calories. … People at all income levels don’t eat adequately, but poorer people have even more limited choices,” Concannon said.

“So, to the extent that we can nudge them in the direction of a farmers market, this is a win for the farmers, but also for those consumers.”

Concannon also emphasized the importance of putting “dollars back into the local community” and creating a reliable customer base for local growers, as well as reducing the distance that food travels from production to consumer.

“The food that was grown here, picked this morning, probably not grown too many miles from here, looks fabulous,” he said. “Why have it trucked all the way across the U.S.? … For us, first and foremost, we’re trying to encourage all Americans to eat healthier.”

Karen O’Malia, a member of the committee that started the original Youngstown farmers market on the grounds of the First Unitarian Universalist Church, said she thinks the USDA, along with the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are “genuinely interested in improving the diet of the American public.”

O’Malia said the farmers market in Youngstown serves a significant purpose: “making fresh, local food available

Kevin Concannon, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services, spoke in downtown Youngstown in late September.

“For us, first and foremost, we’re trying to encourage all Americans to eat healthier.”

– Kevin Concannon, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services to populations who, certainly, 10 years ago were in the midst of food deserts.”

“Now, there is a little bit more access to better food,” she said.

Rich Berg, treasurer of the Lake-to-River Food Cooperative, said “the main thing is to make people more healthy.” Berg sells his homemade granola and maple syrup, tapped from his family’s Columbiana County farm,

at the Downtown Farmers Market.

“It’s kind of just rethinking everything,” Berg said. “Like, why do we have to ship our food 3,000 miles and lose all the nutritional value when we can support local people right here?”

What’s “really nice,” he said, is that the EBT processing technology at farmers markets is “creating awareness that you can get local food from farmers, no matter what your economic background.”

“With the price of food going up, you’re able to come here and get more bang for your buck, and you’re supporting local people, local agriculture,” Berg said.

The Downtown Farmers Market runs on Tuesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. until Oct. 15. For more information, call 330-518-6971.

Our guest, Geshe Thubten Soepa, received his Lharampa Geshe degree at Sera Je Monastic University in 1994.

He was resident teacher at Aryatara Institute in Germany for seven years, and has taught at many other FPMT centers around the world, including Jamyang Buddhist Centre in the United Kingdom, Oseling in Spain, Panchen Losang Chogyen in Austria, and Lama Yeshe Ling in Canada.

RESTAURANTS

Roberto’s features an evening of southern Italian wines T

he end of summer and arrival of Labor Day ushered in a number of enjoyable wine events for local wine lovers. The Springfield Grille and Wine and Dine Ohio held several f fine dinner tastes, and local wine shops featured a number of delightful tastings for their customers.

Wine and Dine Ohio added two new locations to their array of fine restaurants, Stonebridge Grille and Tavern of Boardman and Roberto’s Italian Restaurant in downtown Youngstown. At Stonebridge Grille and Tavern, a capacity crowd was treated to an evening of fine Italian wines with accompanying food pairings from Stonebridge’s talented kitchen.

Our first wine was the 2011 Vincola del Sannio Falanghina IGT from Marc de Grazia Imports. Bright apricot and lemon flavors teamed with a sunny crisp finish made this a super match for the Stonebridge sampler of stuffed peppers, breaded fried provolone, hot peppers, and greens with house-made Pomodoro (fresh tomato) sauce.

Our next white was the 2011 Gavi Vigneto Masera DOCG from Stefano Massone.

Made from 100 percent indigenous Cortese grapes, it exudes juicy apple fruit flavors leading to a crisp finish. The classic chicken Romano from Stonebridge’s kitchen with crimini mushrooms, scallions and sundried tomatoes was mouthwateringly good with this Italian white wine.

A Silvio Grasso 2010 Dolcetto d”Alba DOC from the Piedmont region of Italy was our first red wine of the evening. Ruby red in color with ripe plum and berry flavors, it was just the answer for the people who ordered the chicken marsala topped with crimini mushrooms. Slightly chilled, this Dolcetto is a fine red for outdoor summertime meals.

Piedmont’s Fratelli Revello was the maker of our next wine. His 2010 Barbera d’Alba DOC presented dense black fruit flavors leading to a smooth sweet finish marked with spice and cocoa. The silky impressions from this finish worked gloriously with Stonebridge’s tasty baby back ribs.

We returned to Italy’s Piedmont region for the Silvio Grasso 2008 Nebbiolo Langhe.

This 100 percent Nebbiolo-based red ($19.99) produces a bold lush wine with a silky smooth finish, rivaling its more expensive Barolo cousins costing $50 and up. The recommended charcoal-seasoned Angus ribeye was a fantastic match for the fullbodied Langhe Nebbiolo. Our group had a wonderful time at the Stonebridge Grille, and we would like to thank Ron Zenko and his attentive staff for a great event. Wine and Dine Ohio is looking for a return visit to this restaurant in 2013.

Wines from the Pacific coast were featured in the recent Springfield Grille wine dinner. On hand to describe the wines was Wesley Cowie of Wine Trends distributors.

He started us off with a 2009 Parker Station Pinot Noir from California. Vivid strawberry and red fruit flavors progressed to a clean spice-tinged crisp finish that was outstanding with the Grille’s Coho salmon from Washington state’s Columbia River. Seared with pink Himalayan sea salt, the Coho salmon was just outstanding.

The Grille’s kitchen wowed me with their

Kiona red blend with its textured fruit-filled cool-climate style was just perfect for the rich chocolate cheesecake.

On Sept. 18, Wine and Dine Ohio held an intimate dinner taste at Roberto’s Restaurant in downtown Youngstown.

Roberto’s specializes in southern Italian cuisine, and to complement it, Wine and Dine Ohio brought several exciting wines from Sicily and southern Italy. Our first wine was a 2011 Centonze Grillo from Sicily. This wine is unique, as most Grillo grapes go into the making of Marsala dessert wine. Special lots of Grillo were selected for this tangy fruitdriven wine. Citrusy fuit flavors and a finish tinged with honey and crushed almonds made it a great choice for the classic linguine METRO MONTHLY ELECTRONIC IMAGE BY JOHN WEBSTER and clam sauce.

Roberto Faraglia and John Naples of Roberto’s Restaurant in Our second wine was the 2008 Masserie downtown Youngstown.

This was a hard act to follow, but the salad Our next wine, also from Masserie Pisari, course of whole hearts of Romaine topped was their 2010 Primitivo. The indigenous with candied apples from Oregon, hazelnuts Primitivo is also found grown in California from Washington and lavender champagne where it is called Zinfandel. This Puglian verdressing was a refreshing treat. A glass of sion is just plain delicious.

Our fourth wine hails from the Marche shrimp drizzled in a cherry port broth. A Belle Vallee Cellars 2008 Pinot Noir from region of Italy. The 2008 Le Terraze Rosso Willamette Valley, Ore. was a perfect choice Conero is made from organically grown for this fork-tender entrée. Belle Terre Pinot Montepulciano grapes. Dark ruby in color, Noirs are known for their Burgundian style, this tasty red offers lightly oaked dark fruit and their 2008 is right on point, with its flavors with a clean subtle finish tinged with spicy berry flavors and textured clean finish earthy notes. One of my favorite Roberto’s entrees is their classic polenta and sausage tinged with cinnamon.

For our dessert course of semi-sweet in tangy tomato sauce. The Rosso Conero chocolate cheesecake dipped in crushed was just the wine for this hearty dish.

Our final wine of the evening originates macadamia nuts, we were offered a glass of Kiona Vineyard 2005 Red Blend from on the slopes of volcanic Mt. Etna in Sicily.

By John Webster Grand Cru Burgundy. Bold ripe red fruit flavors give way to an elegant structured finish. At $19.99 a bottle, this is a real bargain.

Those who ordered the veal or eggplant Parmesan raved about this food and wine combination. I want to thank Roberto Faraglia, John Naples and the Roberto’s staff for a wonderful evening of fine wine and food.

Local store tastings offered a number of well-priced wines for upcoming holiday imbibing. Let’s start with the 2011 Bonacci “Borgo Antico” Chianti from Tuscany ($11.99, Wine Styles of Howland). Supple plum and berry flavors lead to an ultra-clean finish that will work nicely with upcoming holiday entertaining.

When you’re appealing to a large range of wine palates during holiday entertaining, it’s hard to find off-dry wines outside of Spatelese-level German Riesling. The 2011 Cosecha Tardia Chardonnay from Mendoza, Argentina ($9.99, Vintage Estate) is just the answer for an off-dry wine that will work well in a number of situations. Bright citrus and floral flavors follow through to a crisp peach-tinged finish.

If you’re looking for an outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon this season, give the 2010 Trinchero Main Street a try ($19.99, Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland). With rich Cabernet fruit flavors and a finish tinged with spice and cocoa, this red delivers flavors and finishing aromas that will have you thinking you’re sampling a wine twice its cost.

Wine and Dine Ohio’s upcoming tastings will be Tuesday, Oct. 30 at Up a Creek in Howland; Thursday, Nov. 15 at Station Square in Liberty; and Thursday, Dec. 13 at Café Cimmento in downtown Youngstown.
