Kent, YSU project focuses on downtown-to-campus

hrough a mutual agreement between Kent State University’s College of Architecture and Environmental Design and Youngstown State University’s Center for Urban and Regional Studies, more than 75 Kent State students will spend the next year working on projects aimed at connecting downtown Youngstown with the Youngstown State campus. The goal is to spark revitalization by demonstrating the potential for reuse and redesign in the area, said Douglas Steidl, dean of Kent State’s College of Architecture and Environmental Design. “Youngstown’s downtown has seen a renaissance; these students will assist the city in advancing their accomplishments to further serve the citizenry,” Steidl said. Youngstown State’s Center for Urban and Regional Studies is acting as the local contact for the city, bringing its experience and knowledge of Youngstown to Kent State’s design studios, said Michael A. Hripko, associate vice president for research at Youngstown State. “This collaboration is a sign of the exceptional progress made in downtown and the university’s dedication to making this city a true destination for living, learning and working,” Hripko said.

Poland teachers to speak at national conference

oland Middle School is recently announced that Haley Shaffer, Abby Aebischer and Eva Sullivan will be speaking at The 2015 National Council of Teachers of English Annual Convention in Minneapolis, Minn. They will present as members of the panel, “Rescuing Our Integrity: Creating Islands of Collegial Support.” The session will be held from 2:45-4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21. The National Council of Teachers of English, with 30,000 individual and institutional members worldwide, is dedicated to improving the teaching and learning of English and the language arts at all levels of education. Each year, the NCTE Annual Convention draws thousands of elementary, middle level, and secondary educators, college faculty, administrators, and other educational professionals from around the world to participate in four days of professional learning and programming.

Construction to start on new 162-bed apartment complex at YSU

oungstown State University, along with Hallmark Campus Communities and Fortress Real Estate Co., announced today the start of construction of a new 162-bed student apartment building on the west side of campus. “This project reflects YSU’s continued efforts to provide our students with the finest housing options and the most comprehensive student experience for their collegiate careers,” said Jim Tressel, YSU president. The four-story apartment building, called University Edge, will be constructed on 3.4 acres of university-owned land along Rayen Avenue between Fifth and Belmont avenues. The YSU Board of Trustees and the state of Ohio approved a 40-year lease of the land earlier this year. The agreement allows for up to two additional buildings in the future. Hallmark, which has developed student housing at universities across Ohio,

The four-story apartment building, called University Edge, will be constructed on 3.4 acres of university-owned land along Rayen Avenue between Fifth and Belmont avenues. including the University of Akron, University of Cincinnati, Kent State University and Ohio University, will pay for the construction and manage the apartments. The project is expected to be completed and open for the start of the Fall semester in August 2016. “We are excited to be a part of YSU’s future,” said Jack Tzagournis, president of Fortress Real Estate Co. The apartments are the first new student housing at YSU since 2010, when the 112bed, privately-owned Flats at Wick complex opened on Madison Avenue, across

from Cafaro House residence hall. With the new project, YSU will have nearly 1,700 student beds available in five university residence halls, the university-owned Courtyard Apartments and three private apartment complexes. The number of students living on campus is up 14 percent this Fall semester, and residence halls are at capacity. The construction starts as YSU’s student numbers have improved. For the first time in more than four years, university officials say they expect to see enrollment begin to increase as early as next spring. The project also gets under way as YSU expands is geographic footprint, attracting more students from outside the immediate Youngstown area. For instance, this year’s freshmen class includes increased numbers of out-of-state students (+64 percent), as well as students from 421 high schools (up from 303 last year) and 54 Ohio counties (up from 37 last year).

Fall Experimental Football League folds Brawlers franchise at Eastwood Field

ue to unforeseen circumstances at the league level, the Fall Experimental Football League (FXFL) will no longer have a team in the Mahoning Valley for the 2015 season. The team was set to play three games at Eastwood Field beginning Oct. 3. “We are extremely disappointed that the FXFL has made the decision to cease opera-

tion of the Mahoning Valley Brawlers,” Jordan Taylor, vice president HWS Baseball said. “Our organization has worked extremely hard over the last six months to develop and promote this new and exciting venture and we were confident that the Brawlers would have been successful in this market based on the imme-

diate support we received from sponsors and the community. It is unfortunate the league has run into recent financial and budgetary issues that has caused this course of action.” All purchased tickets will be refunded at the Mahoning Valley Scrappers front office beginning Thursday, Oct. 1 at 10 a.m. OCTOBER 2015 | METROMONTHLY.NET

VALLEY UPDATE, From Page 5 NCTE convention attendees hear presentations from award winning speakers, attend thought provoking sessions, share best practices, and test the latest teaching materials. The 2015 NCTE Annual Convention will be held Nov. 19-22 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. “It is attended by approximately 9,000 educators. We go to be inspired by the great thinkers of our profession-and they’re all there,” said Shaffer. “There are hundreds of sessions to choose from, starting at 8 in the morning and ending at 10 in the evening. It is our habit that we come back and share what we’ve learned at department meetings, and with our Workshop Survival group held at the MCESC.” Poland’s proposal to present was one of about 700 selected from over 5,000 submissions. Their proposal states: “On a battlefield of mandates, maintaining professional integrity proves difficult. While our NCTE shot in the arm helps, we need lasting local connections to sustain this energy for the long haul. We will engage participants in a small scale “survival” meeting, then share nuts and bolts to allow others to create and sustain them.” This will be Haley’s third national presentation, Abby’s second, and Eva’s first.

Anti-poverty groups cite stagnant wages in Ohio COLUMBUS – Advocacy groups last month called attention to the latest Census data that shows the economic recession hasn’t ended for many working Ohioans, whose wages remain stagnant despite the rising cost of living. Several statewide anti-poverty groups briefed the media on the U.S. Census Bureau’s new American Community Survey poverty data, which found that 15.8 percent of Ohioans, or nearly 1.8 million people, live in households with incomes at or below the federal poverty level. For a household of three, the poverty threshold is about $20,000 a year. The rate of poverty in Ohio in 2014 was higher than the national rate of 15.5 percent, and was not statistically different from the previous year. It returns the state’s poverty rate to 2010 levels, but remains significantly higher than pre-recession rates. Median household income in Ohio was also not statistically different from the previous year. “The bottom line is: for Ohio to thrive, we have to ensure that all Ohioans can participate fully in our economy and we have to set all of Ohio’s children up for life-long success no matter where they come from,” said Col Owens, co-chair for Advocates for Ohio’s Future. The poverty rate for children was even higher

than the overall population, at 22.9 percent of the 2.59 million Ohioans under age 18. Additionally, some key demographic groups experienced increases in poverty, including an increase in poverty among African Americans in Ohio from 33.6 percent in 2013 to 34.7 percent in 2014. That’s a sharp increase from 2008, when the poverty rate for African Americans in Ohio was 29.3 percent. “The data continues to show the struggles of Ohio’s families with rising costs and stagnant wages,” said Phil Cole, executive director of the Ohio Association of Community Action Agencies. “We must ensure the rising tide of our economic recovery lifts the boats of the low-income households, too.” Cathy Johnston, advocacy director for the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing in Ohio, agreed. “In central Ohio, a family of three or four people would have to earn $18.80 per hour at a full time job to afford the cost of a basic three-bedroom apartment,” said Johnston. “And remember, Ohio’s minimum wage is currently $8.10. If you are eligible for federal housing assistance, you have only a one in four chance of receiving it. In other words, rents are too high and take home pay is too low.” Representatives from participating groups emphasized the need for policies that address poverty issues and include low- and middleincome households in the economic recovery. Kalitha Williams of Policy Matters Ohio called for strengthening state and federal Earned Income Tax Credits. “The Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit are two of the most powerful tools to fight poverty for low-income workers,” said Williams. “New data from the Census shows that these programs reduced the supplemental poverty rate by more than 3 percent, lifting roughly 10 million people, including more than 5 million children, out of poverty in 2014. Congress should make the federal EITC and child tax credit improvements of 2008 and 2009 permanent, and Ohio lawmakers should make our state EITC refundable. These are proven economic policies that help secure Ohio families.” New data was also released last month, which showed a stark increase in food insecurity among Ohio households. Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director for the Ohio Association of Foodbanks, said rising food insecurity is a direct reflection of high poverty levels and stagnant household incomes. “We simply cannot afford policies that leave more than one in six of our residents food insecure, and more than one in three eligible for help from foodbanks,” said Hamler-Fugitt.

Ohio State Bar opposes Issue 3; supports Issue 2

The Ohio State Bar Association supports State Issue 2 and opposes State Issue 3 because we do not believe the Ohio Constitution should be used to implant regulatory specificities that were never intended by the framers to be included in our Constitution. A constitution is a sacred trust that defines and protects the fundamental rights of the people. It is a contract between the people and their governmental institutions. It sets forth a framework of citizens’ rights and governments’ responsibilities, and directs our three branches of government: the legislature, the executive and the courts, about how to implement that framework. A constitution is not intended to set forth regulatory specificities such as those contained in State Issue 3, including specific tax and fee schedules and other special economic benefits that can be changed only by later constitutional amendment. We firmly believe that it was never the intention of the framers of our Constitution to have it cluttered with matters best left to the respective branches of government to manage. We take no position on the merits of whether marijuana should be legalized in the state of Ohio. We have serious concerns, however, with the manner in which such legalization would occur. That is, we do not believe the Ohio Constitution should be used as a vehicle to create the framework for legalizing and then regulating the production and sale of any product, whether marijuana or otherwise. Such regulatory specificities were never intended by the framers to be included in that charter of government called our Constitution. They should be left to the appropriate branches of our government to handle. For these reasons, the Ohio State Bar Association supports State Issue 2 and opposes State Issue 3. – Issued By Ohio State Bar Association John D. Holschuh, Jr., president

Green Party urges defeat of Issue 3; supports Issue 2

The Green Parties Ohio, Trumbull and Mahoning oppose Issue 3, or Responsible Ohio’s amendment to legalize marijuana in Ohio under the submitted business plan and encourage Ohio voters to vote down this plan this November. It is the opinion of the Green Party that the Responsible Ohio plan does not protect the interests of small farmers, consumers, local control or free trade. Second, the Green Parties of Ohio, Trumbull and Mahoning support Issue 2 and its function of barring monopoly business interests from becoming part of Ohio’s Constitution. This is good business for Ohio, supports a free and open market, and is not legislation limited to the marijuana controversy or prohibitive of other proposed marijuana plans. Third, the Green Party of Ohio affirms its support for the legalization of marijuana for medicinal and recreational use in concept, for therapeutic use, for creative use, for homesteading and family farming, for family-owned home growing rights and community garden rights under a free and open market model without profit-motivated business anchor. Fourth, the Green Party Ohio supports the legalization and restoration of the commerical hemp industry in Ohio at one time a relevant player in the Ohio economy. Roping and other hemp products can become again practical farming, fastening, technology, and property management commodities. Fifth, the Green Party Ohio calls for the release of all marijuana prisoners in the United States and for their offenses to be expunged from their records. Sixth, and now formally proposed, the Green Party Ohio, Trumbull and Mahoning offer to facilitate a dialogue between the sponsors of the five petitions that circualted in Ohio over the past three years, to support a common petition and an organized statewide drive to place a fair and open emendment on the ballot as early as 2016. These six petitions today declared by the Green Party are mutually supportive and reasonably generalized. – Submitted by Jim VIllani, member, Central Committee, Green Party of Mahoning County; member, Central Committee, Green Party State of Ohio

WINE GUY, From Page 15 This year’s winner was Fernando Riccioni (of Fernando’s Wedgewood Pizza), who produced a crisp, robust red wine with lots of dark fruit flavors leading to a persistent lush finish that was very pleasing. Moving on to local store tastings, I visited the Cork & Cap Bottle Shop’s first Saturday taste and found some very nice wines for the upcoming holidays. If you’re looking for a great inexpensive Chardonnay for under $20 a bottle, pick up a bottle of Fess Parker’s 2014 Chardonnay ($16.99 on sale from $19.99) from Santa Barbara County. Classic apple and pear flavors with a touch of oak make this refreshing Chardonnay a joy to sip. An inexpensive red that really stood out was Shannon Ridge’s 2012 Wrangler Red Blend ($12.99 on sale from $18.99) from Lake County, Calif. Ripe cherry flavors tinged with spice and oak lead to an elegant round finish that will make your party guests think you broke your wine budget for the holidays. Vintage Estate Wine and Beer’s monthly Second Saturday taste offered some really great wines for upcoming holiday parties and dinners. I picked two great whites that are under $15 a bottle. The Maryhill 2012 Gewurztraminer ($14.99) from the Columbia Valley of Washington offers hints of pear and citrus on the palate and finishes clean with honey and spice notes. This great white should be a perfect partner for Thanksgiving turkey hot out of the oven. Another great white for upcoming Turkey Day celebrations is Pine Ridge’s 2014 Chenin Blanc and Viognier Blend ($13.99). This tasty blend of 80 percent Chenin Blanc and 20 percent Viognier offers oodles of melon, pear and apple flavors leading to a clean, juicy finish tinged with honeysuckle. Turkey and fresh-caught perch would work very well with this fine white from Pine Ridge’s California vineyards. Upcoming tastings include Cork & Cap’s dinner taste Friday, Oct. 16 at Vernon’s Café; and Holiday Wine Gala Friday, Dec. 4 at Trumbull Country Club. Thursday, Oct. 15, Station Square Ristorante monthly wine dinner. Springfield Grille will have a harvest wine dinner Tuesday, Oct. 20, and a “murder mystery” dinner in November. Regular tastings include Station Square’s “Wine Wednesday”; 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.

What you should know about adult protective services FROM THE OHIO BAR ASSOCIATION

Question: What are “adult protective services?” Answer: “Adult protective services” are services provided to help vulnerable older adults who have no one to assist them. In Ohio, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services supervises the adult protective services (APS) program, which is administered through each county’s department of job and family services. Q: Who is eligible to receive services from an adult protective services program? A: Recipients of services must be over the age of 60. They must also be in danger of harm, unable to protect themselves, and have no one to assist them. Q: What sort of “harm” must the person be in danger of experiencing in order to get services? A: “Danger of harm” refers to actual or suspected neglect, abuse or exploitation. ”Neglect” is failure to provide the goods or services necessary for the adult’s own safety and/or well-being, whether as a result of a caregiver’s failure or the adult’s own failure. ”Abuse” can be physical, emotional or sexual. ”Physical abuse” is an intentional use of physical force that results in pain, injury or impairment. ”Emotional abuse” is any action intending to threaten, humiliate, intimidate or otherwise cause psychological injury, and includes violating an adult’s loss of privacy and ability to make his or her own decisions. ”Sexual abuse” is any unwanted, nonconsensual sexual contact, and includes rape, coerced nudity, exhibitionism as well as other sexual situations that may not involve touching. ”Exploitation” is the unlawful or improper use of someone’s

”Exploitation” is the unlawful or improper use of someone’s resources for monetary or personal benefit, profit or gain.

resources for monetary or personal benefit, profit or gain. This most often includes taking the victim’s money without his or her consent. Q: What if I am not sure whether an adult is suffering from neglect, abuse or exploitation? A: Even if you are not certain or have no specific evidence that an adult is suffering from neglect, abuse or exploitation, you should still report your suspicions to the adult protective services program

of your county’s job and family services department. It is the program’s duty to investigate actual or suspected neglect, abuse or exploitation, and a caseworker will be sent out to personally meet with the adult and complete an assessment to determine if neglect, abuse or exploitation is occurring. If so, the department will take the appropriate action to obtain protective services for that adult. Q: How can I keep my name out of the adult pro-

tective services investigation? A: Under Ohio law, all reports and investigations of suspected or actual neglect, abuse or exploitation of an adult over age 60 are kept confidential. Q: I believe my neighbor, who is more than 60 years old and infirm, may be suffering abuse from a family member. Where would I find an adult protective services program in my area so I can report my suspicions? A: Contact your local county department of job and family services in the county where the elderly adult lives or where you suspect the abuse has occurred. To find the phone number and location of the county agency in your area, go to http://jfs.ohio.gov/county/County_Directory.pdf. During non-business hours or in an emergency, you should contact local law enforcement. This “Law You Can Use” consumer legal information column was provided by the Ohio State Bar Association.

Q&A: What procedures govern the termination of teachers in Ohio? FROM THE OHIO BAR ASSOCIATION

hio law (Section 3319.16 of the Ohio Revised Code) says that a teacher’s contract “may not be terminated except for good and just cause.” The “good and just cause” provision prevails over any conflicting provisions in a collective bargaining agreement entered into after Oct. 16, 2009. Question: What due process requirements must be met before recommending that the board consider terminating a teacher’s contract? Answer: The teacher must be given an opportunity to explain his/her side of the story and to correct the allegations. The teacher may have union representation during this process. Because teachers are licensed by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE), alleged misconduct must be separately reported to the ODE’s Office for Professional Conduct. The Licensure Code for Professional Conduct for Ohio Educators identifies specific acts that constitute “conduct unbecoming” and must be reported. Q: What steps must be taken after a board decides to consider termination? A: The teacher must be given written notice of the board’s intent to consider termination, along with the “grounds and specifications” for the decision. General statements such as “neglect of duty” or “negligent supervision” are not sufficient; such statements must include grounds unique to the

case and be supported by specific facts. For example, “…This is the second time you left your students alone without notifying anyone and went out to your car. One of your students was injured while you were away. When you returned, the principal had reasonable suspicion you were under the influence and you were tested according to the CBA, which substantiated your intoxication.” Q: When must a teacher request a hearing? A: After receiving the initial notice, the teacher has 10 days to submit a written demand for a hearing before the board or a referee. Q: What if the teacher doesn’t request a hearing? A: The school board may take official action after 10 days and terminate the teacher’s contract. Q: What happens if a teacher requests a hearing before a referee? A: The board treasurer submits the request to ODE for the appointment of a referee. A hearing must be scheduled within 30 days after the teacher’s timely request, and the teacher must receive written notice within 20 days of the time and place of the hearing. The teacher must receive the required notices within these strict time frames. Teachers cannot be required to participate in a termination hearing during the summer months without their consent. Following the hearing, the referee has 10 days to issue a report and recommendation to the board. Q: Is a termination hearing an administrative hearing?

The teacher must be given an opportunity to explain his/her side of the story and to correct the allegations. A: Yes. Both sides may be represented by counsel. Also, witnesses can be subpoenaed to testify under oath and be cross-examined. A stenographer is present and the board must give the teacher a copy of the transcript. The referee’s primary duty is to ascertain facts, but the referee also must make evidentiary rulings, judge the credibility of witnesses and control the order of the hearing. The rules of evidence apply, but may be somewhat relaxed. Q: What is considered “good and just cause”? A: Only a violation of Ohio law [ORC§ 2907.03(A)(7)] meets this standard. In all other situations, the school district must demonstrate that it has “good and just” cause by a preponderance of reliable evidence. Good and just cause may be found when the misconduct is of a fairly serious matter and hostile to the school community (rather than some private act). The teacher’s entire record must also be considered. A referee will be more sympathetic to an exemplary teacher who made one thoughtless act than to a teacher who has demonstrated multiple acts of misconduct. Every case should be carefully analyzed before progressing toward a hearing. For example, in cases involving social media, the district must determine

how much of a disruption the teacher’s posting/ speech caused within the school community and whether parents and fellow teachers will be able to cooperate with or trust the teacher in the future. Q: Must a board adopt a referee’s report? A: No. The board may accept or reject the referee’s report and recommendation by a majority vote, but generally boards must accept the referee’s findings of fact. The board then interprets the significance of the facts to decide whether the “good and just cause” standard has been met. If the board adopts a referee’s recommendation for termination, the teacher has 30 days to file an appeal to common pleas court. Q: What is the standard of review on appeal? A: On appeal, courts consider the “whole record,” including any new or additional evidence, and determine whether the board’s administrative decision is unconstitutional, illegal, arbitrary, capricious, unreasonable or unsupported by the evidence.

breast cancer awareness month

Take proactive approach for prevention, control of breast cancer BY VICKI HAYWOOD DOE METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

reast cancer has become one of the most common type of cancers among women in the United States – regardless of race and ethnicity. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), African-American women are more likely to die from this disease than white women and are less likely to survive for five years after diagnosis. This is due to African-American women being diagnosed with breast cancer at a later stage and receiving treatment later after diagnosis. The CDC states that in 2012 approximately 224,000 women in the U.S. were diagnosed with this disease and approximately 41,000 died. Breast-cancer awareness is one of our nation’s most important public health promotion initiatives. As a well-known adage states, “knowledge is power.” It is with increased awareness and education about this disease that women are being empowered to take proactive steps to practice better health and breast care. Research has shown that by taking preventative measures and becoming actively engaged, women are receiving positive breast health outcomes and lives are being saved. Here are six proactive strategies that are recommended by the CDC, American Cancer Society, and other National Health Institutes to help in the prevention and the improved survival rates of breast cancer in women. ◆ Get regular breast screenings – Early detection through regular breast screening has been shown to be the best way to find breast cancer early and treat, improving survival rates. The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women age 50 to 74 years old have mammograms every two years. If you have a family history, are at higher risk, or have signs and symptoms, consult with your physician. They may recommend more frequent breast screenings or the start of screenings at an earlier age. ◆ Know the risk factors – Knowing the risk factors for breast cancer and working toward the reduction of the controllable factors is a smart and proactive approach in the prevention and control of this disease. Some of the known risk factors include: age, 10 METROMONTHLY.NET | OCTOBER 2015

family history, long-term use of hormone-replacement therapy (HRT), drinking alcohol, smoking, changes in the breast cancer genes (BRCA1 and BRCA2) and night-shift work. ◆ Maintain a healthy weight – Research has shown that being overweight and obese leads to an increased production of estrogen and insulin, which increases the risk for getting breast cancer. Maintaining a healthy weight is not a quick- fix fad.

Optimal success in maintaining a healthy weight is achieved by embracing healthy lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and healthy eating. Monitor your weight, BMI, and waist circumference to make sure that these stay within the healthy normal range. A healthy BMI is from 18.5 to 24.9; a healthy waist circumference for a woman is less than not more than 35 inches; for a man less than not more than 40 inches.

◆ Exercise regularly – Regular exercise has been shown to not only reduce the risk of getting breast cancer but also increase survival rates among those who are diagnosed with this disease. Get at least 150 minutes of moderateintensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity or a combination of both per week. Remember some exercise is better than none. If you can’t do a 30-45 minute session, try three to four 10 minute bouts of exercise throughout the day to achieve your activity goal. Stand up and move! Limit your time spent sitting. An American Cancer Society study showed that women who spent six hours or more a day sitting outside of work had a 10 percent greater risk for breast cancer than women who sat less than three hours a day. ◆ Commit to healthy eating – Eating a well-balanced diet that includes lean poultry, fish, healthy fats, plenty of whole food plant-based fruits and vegetables daily has been shown to improve health and to decrease the risk of breast cancer. Limit the use of alcohol, refined processed foods, and sugary drinks. Recent studies suggest that the Mediterranean diet rich in veggies, fruits, whole grains and extra-virgin olive oil may be linked to a reduced risk in breast cancer. ◆ Get enough sleep – Most of us are not getting enough sleep. Studies have shown that insufficient sleep is associated with increased risk of chronic diseases. Try to get at least six to eight hours per night to improve health and reduce risk. Take the proactive approach by doing everything you can to prevent and lower risk factors for this disease. Remember to communicate with your physician or medical healthcare provider for medical diagnosis, answers to questions and recommendations for breast cancer.

athan Wolfe travels the world to track, study, and eradicate the next pandemic before it strikes. One of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2011, this “Viral Storm” author draws on his break-through discoveries to tell where viruses come from, why they spread, and how to stop them. By concentrating on how epidemic diseases – such as HIV, SARS, and West Nile – all stem from human contact with infected animals, he is able to discover new threatening viruses where they first emerge. Publisher’s Weekly calls his debut book, “The Viral Storm,” an “engrossing and fast-paced chronicle of medical exploration and discovery” that takes readers from the jungles of Africa to Wolfe’s state-of-theart labs, shedding light on the often overlooked but ultimately critical field of microbiology. It was published in six languages and shortlisted for the Royal Society’s Winton Prize. Wolfe is the Lorry I. Lokey Business Wire consulting professor in human biology at Stanford University; the founder and CEO of Metabiota, a company that specializes in microbiological research, products, and services; and the chairman of Global Viral, a non-profit that promotes understanding, exploration, and stewardship of the microbial world. Wolfe was named a Rolling Stone “100 Agents of Change,” a National Geographic Emerging Explorer, and a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. He is also the winner of the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award. Wolfe has received over $60 million in grants and contracts from Google, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the U.S. Department of Defense, among others.

Annual Bacchanalia includes judging wines, stomping grapes

s autumn arrives, I have great wines to share with you for upcoming holiday get-togethers. Most of my picks are surprisingly undervalued, and won’t break your holiday wine budget. My first tasting took me to the Trumbull Country Club in Warren for Micro Doctor’s Wine Down Business Mixer wine taste. The Cork & Cap Bottle Shop owners Nick and Loretta Uroseva were on hand with some of their great wines to entertain the sold-out crowd. My first choice was an old favorite of mine, the nonvintage (NV) Rosa di Rosa “Stella Rosa” from Italy is a slightly effervescent rose made from partially fermented grape must. Low in alcohol, this is a great party starter wine. Bright and tangy red fruit and berry flavors should make this wine work well with fresh fruit and cheeses. After filling my plate with spicy mustard and soy pot stickers, I went to the table pouring the 2013 Treasure Hunter “Scallywag” proprietary red from Napa Valley. Bright red fruit flavors and a long creamy finish made me think I was sampling a much more expensive Napa Valley red. It was just perfect with the spicy pot stickers. My next pick was the 2012 Sobon Estate Red from California made from the Tannat grape of southern France. Rich dark fruit flavors and an explosively long, lush finish made this a real hit with the crowd. Recently I attended Springfield Grille’s first Pig Roast with delicious cocktails accompanying each food course. Our first entrée of jumbo coconut shrimp served with jalapeno watermelon salsa was delicious with the tropical watermelon daiquiris served with it. The daiquiri exhibited just a touch of sweetness that worked well with the spicy dipping sauce that came with the tasty coconut shrimp. Tender marinated quail breast and bacon wrapped peppadews (peppers) drizzled with smoked cherry barbecue sauce was presented as our second course. A mango key lime martini with clean citrus fruit flavors was just the answer for the tender quail. Our main course of slow-roasted suckling pig stuffed with apples, cabbage, onions and garlic with side dishes of corn on the cob, roasted redskins, baked beans and cornbread was simply outstanding. Guava pineapple Sangria was a fine choice to accompany this tasty meal. I had to have a second glass of Sangria poured to go with the fork-tender roast. Our final dessert course consisted of a large

mango tartlet finished with meringue. Delicious Island Iced Coffee was a perfect pairing. My next dinner tasting took place at the Trumbull Country Club, hosted by the Cork & Cap Bottle Shop. Nick and Loretta Uroseva had a wonderful selection of wines to pair with the club’s excellent food offerings. Our first entrée was summer-fresh tomato and basil bruschetta topped with shaved parmesan cheese. A frothy glass of Valdo Prosecco Spumanti Brut (DOC) from Northern Italy was just perfect for this opening entrée. Crisp aromatic fruit flavors and a tight, clean finish make the Valdo Prosecco a great choice for appetizers and lighter food fare. Our salad course consisted of cubed watermelon with feta cheese and sweet red onion. It was served with a delicious glass of California’s Shannon Ridge 2013 High Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The High Valley’s citrusy lemon-lime

flavors worked very well with the summery watermelon salad. The first red wine of the evening was a glass of Mark West 2013 Russian River Pinot Noir. This was a match made in heaven for the grilled salmon over arugula and avocado. The medium-bodied Mark West Pinot offers cherry and red fruit flavors that really partnered well to the juicy salmon. Chicken Diablo with assorted grilled peppers was our next food offering.

As autumn arrives, I have great wines to share with you for upcoming holiday get-togethers. Most of my picks are surprisingly undervalued, and won’t break your holiday wine budget. A 2012 JZ Selections Zinfandel Lot No. 3 was chosen to go with the spicy chicken and pepper dish. The Lot No. 3 Zin is a unique blend of 81 percent Zinfandel, 12 percent Petite Sirah, 4 percent Mourvedre, and 3 percent Carignane, producing a lush red with a long, complex finish that was delicious with the Chicken Diablo. Our final course consisted of grilled sliced New York Strip steak with a side of fresh corn salad. The accompaniment was a 2012 Shannon Ridge Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Lake County, Calif. This dish needed a big flavor-packed red, and the Shannon Ridge Cab filled the bill very nicely with its ripe red fruit flavors and long structured finish. This undervalued Cab at $24.99 (was $29.99) compares nicely with California Cabs in the $50 range. My last dinner taste took place at Station Square Ristorante in Liberty. They featured the Valdez Family Winery’s stable

of fine wines from Sonoma County, Calif. For this group of wines, I ordered Chef Ottavio’s delicious baked filet of red snapper with rice (Cernia al Forno). As our dinners arrived, we were poured a glass of Valdez 2010 Sauvignon Blanc from the Russian River Valley. Lovely aromas of citrus fruit matched the juicy lemonlime flavors of this fine Sauvignon Blanc, producing a perfect partner for the tasty baked red snapper. Our next wine was a 2010 El Diablo Chardonnay from Russian River fruit. Full bodied with notes of vanilla and butterscotch on the nose, this textbook Chardonnay was simply delicious. This fine Chardonnay should work with a host of dinner entrees, making it very versatile for holiday dining. Our first red of the evening was a Valdez 2011 Russian River Pinot Noir. Rich deep red fruit and berry flavors give way to a long spice-tinged finish that seems to last forever. It was gorgeous with my pestoinfused red snapper. The Valdez 2011 Sonoma County Zinfandel was next in line for our inspection. This textbook Russian River Zinfandel offers ripe upfront dark fruit flavors and a long lush finish that is very pleasing. Our final wine of the tasting was the outstanding (Robert Parker 93 points) 2011 St. Peter’s Church Zinfandel. Bold super-rich red fruit flavors and a long textured finish produce a wine that should age comfortably for 10 or more years. It was unexpectedly delicious with my key lime pie dessert. On Sunday, Sept. 27, I was asked to help judge wine once again at Patty and Amico Mariani’s annual Bacchanalia in Austintown. I’ve been attending this celebration for several years now, and I am still awestruck at its size and breadth. The wine that we judged this year was crushed at last year’s fest. It still amazes me how seven winemakers can produce delicious wines from the same grapes and come up with profiles that appeal to different people.

PLYMC Celebrates 135 Years with Library Card Sign-Up Campaign The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County (PLYMC) is celebrating 135 years. On Oct. 27, 1880, the first legal steps were taken to provide public library service for the city of Youngstown, when Superintendent of Schools, Reuben McMillan, along with four others, signed the articles of incorporation establishing the Youngstown Library Association, which later became the Reuben McMillan Free Library Association. The library system that started with just 168 books in 1880, today houses almost 667,000 books. In addition to that, today you’ll find videos, music, eBooks, audio books, magazines, newspapers and more in your library. For more library history: www.libraryvisit.org/about-us/libraryhistory Celebrate with us by attending a library program, using an online service, using a library computer, downloading an eBook or music or magazine, and more! If you do not have a Library card, what better time to sign up for one? The Library is celebrating with a year-long campaign to encourage people without a card to sign up for a Library Card. And for current cardholders, the Library will work to make them aware of all it offers and prompt them to use their Library Card more often.

“We want to make people aware of the many programs and services available to them by just showing their Library Card at any of the 15 public libraries in Mahoning County or using it online,” said Janet Loew, Communications/Public Relations Director. “A new campaign – Show Me Your Card – gives our cardholders an opportunity to show how much they love their library!” “Additionally, we hope those who don’t have cards will become aware of what they are missing by not using their local library. We have something for everyone. And there’s an easy fix – sign up for a library card in one of our libraries or online today.” There are library cards for every need. Along with our full-service Library Card, the Library offers several fine-free cards available for specific age groups. The finefree Read Card is for children and Simply Teen card is for teens. There are benefits to Senior Status for those 65 and up. The Library has a digital card for customers who only want to use online services or in-library computers. (To learn more: www.libraryvisit.org/our-happenings/ library-card-services). Your library card opens doors that connect people with information to inspire them and enrich their lives. And all you have to do to use most Library services is Show Us Your Card! Special thanks to Jeff Byce of Byce Auction for adding the voice to our TV spot auctioneer!

One of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2011, this “Viral Storm” author draws on his break-through discoveries to tell where viruses come from, why they spread, and how to stop them. By concentrating on how epidemic diseases – such as HIV, SARS, and West Nile – all stem from human contact with infected animals, he is able to discover new threatening viruses where they first emerge. Publisher’s Weekly calls his debut book, “The Viral Storm,” an “engrossing and fast-paced chronicle of medical exploration and discovery” that takes readers from the jungles of Africa to Wolfe’s state-ofthe-art labs, shedding light on the often overlooked but ultimately critical field of microbiology. It was published in six languages and shortlisted for the Royal Society’s Winton Prize. Wolfe is the Lorry I. Lokey Business Wire consulting professor in human biology at Stanford University; the founder and CEO of Metabiota, a company that specializes in microbiological research, products, and services; and the chairman of Global Viral, a non-profit that promotes understanding, exploration, and stewardship of the microbial world. Wolfe was named a Rolling Stone “100 Agents of Change,” a National Geographic Emerging Explorer, and a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. He is also the winner of the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award.

The film covers the anti-establishment, doit-yourself hardcore music scene that’s been part of Cleveland’s underground since the 1980s. The movie starts around 1987 with the bands Confront and Outface. (The singer of Confront went on to form the controversial One Life Crew, while members of Outface joined bands with mainstream success such as Sepultura, Filter, and Civ.) The music scene darkened a few years later with Ringworm and Integrity – bands with apocalyptic lyrics and a more metallic sound. Many bands popped up before and since. Ignored by the mainstream media, these bands released their own records and staged their own shows. “Destroy Cleveland” showcases that underground music scene.The event will feature an afterparty at Suzie’s with Wild Wings and Kratt. $8 (advance), $10 (at the door). 9 p.m.
