PUBLISHER’S NOTES

FALL DINING GUIDE 250+

The United Steaks of America

ood can be a unifying element. In communities like Youngstown and Warren, ethnic foods and family recipes have the power to transcend income, race, and class. Hard times and modest budgets gave us the beloved Brier Hill pizza and Strouss’ malt. Simple foods have great power. Metro Monthly features its Fall Dining Guide in this issue. Every year, we notice some new trends. This year, it’s the march of the millennials. In businesses ranging from craft breweries to bakeries, talented locals are putting their imprint on what they create and serve. And we also see craft cocktails trending. Some local business owners and staff have mastered the classics and are now branching out and incorporating interesting and locally sourced ingredients. Our Fall Dining Guide is almost 20 pages. They say what doesn’t kill makes you stronger, but this special feature just made us hungry. Tell us what you think. Be safe and see you soon. Ð Mark C.

Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame to induct Judge Milich

he Ohio Department of Veterans Services and Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame Foundation will honor the 2018 Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame Class during its annual induction ceremony at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 8 at the Radiant Life Church, 7100 Post Road, Dublin, Ohio 43016. The 20-person class will be honored with medals by Ohio Department of Veterans Services Director Chip Tansill and Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor. Judge Robert P. Milich, of Youngstown, will be one of the inductees. MILICH Milich, 76, served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War. Milich graduated with a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Akron in 1978. In 1980, he began his career in the law department of the City of Youngtown and succeeded to Director of Law in 1994. In 1998, he was appointed to Municipal Court by Gov. George Voinovich. He continued in this role until his retirement in 2017. Milich served as presiding judge of the Youngstown Municipal Veterans Treatment Court from its inception in 2011 to his retirement from the bench in December 2017. He was instrumental in developing the court using counselors, mentors and community social workers to assist veterans in meaningful rehabilitation. The Youngstown Municipal Veterans Treatment Court was the second such court in the state of Ohio and one of 50 in the nation with a primary mission of treatment and rehabilitation of non-violent misdemeanor offenders. The program has become a model within Ohio for treating and rehabilitating veterans. Since its inception six years ago, 63 veterans have participated in the courts’ treatment program and 48 veterans have graduated from the program. The court convened twice a month and Milich personally oversaw each case, thus ensuring maximum positive results. His success garnered him an appoint-

The Holiday Book Drive provides customers with the opportunity to donate books to locally designated non-profit organizations.

Holiday Book Drive recipients throughout the country include schools, libraries, literacy organizations, family social service agencies and homeless centers. This year, the Boardman Barnes & Noble, located at 381 Boardman Poland Road, will be collecting books for United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley. “The United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley greatly appreciates this partnership! We know change does not happen alone, and we rely on great community organizations and businesses like Barnes & Noble to help us achieve our goals,” said Bob Hannon, United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley president, “We will distribute these books to students in our Success By 6 and Success After 6 programs across the Mahoning Valley. We focus on early education programs, and do our best to provide extra re-sources when it comes to literacy through our programs and initiatives. This book drive will allow us to do just that, and we cannot say thank you enough.” “The Holiday Book Drive is a favorite program of both booksellers and customers across the country,” says Tracy Vidakovich, vice president Business Development for Barnes & Noble. “Customers often purchase and donate a personal childhood favorite as a way to pass on a holiday tradition to a child in their local community.” ■ December book fair – United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley will also host a Bookfair on Thursday, Dec. 13.

W.D. Packard Music Hall completes ADA upgrades

Guides program in Youngstown City Schools.

The W.D. Packard Foundation is announcing the completion of their elevator additions and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) expansion project, and held a ribbon cutting last month prior to the W.D. Packard Band’s 63rd Anniversary Concert at W.D. Packard Music Hall. The project included a new elevator, new ADA compliant entrances, ADA balcony seating, and renovations and expansion to the women’s mezzanine rest room. The W.D. Packard Foundation, a component fund of the Community Foundation of Western Pa. & Eastern Ohio, a 501(c) (3) public charity, in conjunction with the City of Warren, The W.D. Packard Park and Music Hall Board of Trustees, and The Ohio Facilities Construction Commission, teamed up to make the elevator project possible, in joint co-operation with The W.D. Packard Band, and JAC Management. Ohio 64th District State Rep. Michael O’Brien secured funding for the project. The City of Warren received $200,000 in state grant funds as part of the 2016 capital budget, earmarked specifically for the elevator project from the OFCC. With assistance from Warren residents Pat and Gordon McLean, $500,000 in additional funds to match the state grant were secured by the W.D. Packard Foundation, obtained from a grant by ACI Senior Development Corporation, a 501 (c) (3), formed by the family of the late Roger Ailes. His wife, Elizabeth, and son, Zachary, were scheduled to attend the ribbon cutting. The W.D. Packard Foundation unanimously selected The DLR Group/Westlake Reed Leskosky as the project architects, and United Contractors, Inc. from Brookfield for construction. As a gift to the citizens of Warren, The Foundation also retained DLR to draft conceptual drawings for future potential upgrades to the Hall. After the ribbon cutting, the elevator was open for use.

Cafaro family gives YSU $1.5 million for intramural field

he Cafaro family is donating $1.5 million to the Youngstown State University “We See Tomorrow” campaign to fund the construction of the new Cafaro Family Field intramural complex on the north side of campus. The field along Elm Street, which is expected to be lighted, will be used for a variety of student recreational activities, including soccer and lacrosse, and will include rest rooms, seating and fencing. “As our residential student population continues to grow, it is important that we provide the recreational opportunities needed to serve those students,” YSU President Jim Tressel said. “We thank the Cafaro family for again stepping forward to meet those needs and for their continued support of the university and our students.” “YSU’s role as a significant catalyst for the region has only grown under the leadership of President Tressel. We are thrilled to be a small part of that success and to continue our ongoing commitment to the university and its students,” said Anthony Cafaro Sr., retired president of The Cafaro Company. Over the past 23 years, the Cafaros have made gifts to YSU totaling more than $5 million, including $1 million for the Watson and Tressel Training Site, $1 million to name the Cafaro House residence hall, $250,000 for the Andrews Student Recreation and Wellness Center, $100,000 to establish the Joseph and Betty Nohra Scholarship in nursing and business, annual support for the William and Alyce and the John Cafaro Scholarships, and gifts to help fund the Rich Center for Autism and various other scholarships. Last year, the Cafaro family received YSU’s Friend of the University Award, one of the university’s highest recognitions. The new Cafaro Family Field will be located adjacent to Cafaro House and is expected to help serve the university’s growing student population, especially those living on campus. Overall enrollment is up this year for the third time in the last four years, and this year’s freshmen class is 32 percent larger than four years ago. In addition, all university residence halls and apartments are at capacity with 1,264 students. And, all three private apartment complexes, including the Flats, the Edge and the new Enclave on Wick Avenue, are at capacity with nearly 1,000 students. “With so many more students on campus, we want to make sure that we provide an environment that meets the needs of our students, including recreation,” said Joy Pokabla Byers, director of Campus Recreation.

COLLEGE FINANCIAL AID

Protecting yourself from identity theft, fraud FROM THE OHIO BAR ASSOCIATION

■ I’ve been reading about data breaches affecting consumers. What can I do to protect myself? While there is no foolproof way to prevent the loss or theft of your information, you can take these steps to manage the risk: limit what you share; know what is done with your information; monitor your financial records; check your consumer credit report regularly – three or four times a year; report suspicious activity; and don’t ignore notification of data breaches. ■ How do I limit what I share? When providing any information online, assume that nothing will remain private. You should assume the worst: once you provide your personal information to others, it will no longer be private. While there is no way to remain truly anonymous when sharing your personal information, you can protect yourself by limiting what you share. For example, think twice before posting vacation pictures online: you are advertising the fact you are away from your home. Likewise, when shopping online, consider what information is really necessary to complete a transaction and provide only that data. Also, look out for pre-checked option boxes that may result in unwanted advertisements and increased sharing of your information. As a rule, share only the minimum information required to complete the task. ■ How do I know what will be done with my information? Remember that, once you turn over any information, online or otherwise, you no longer control what happens to it. Social media posts, website registrations, Internet shopping orders and online information services all require, or at least request, your personal information. Some information is necessary for the experience. For example, when ordering a product online, you’ll have to identify yourself, provide shipping information and credit card data. But website organizations also gather information that they can use to deliver advertisements and the like, or they may sell the information to others for their own use. Before providing any information, you should actually read the website privacy policies and terms of use. The law requires that these parties accurately describe what will be done with your information and how it will be secured. If the policy leaves you unsure of how your personal information will be treated, shop somewhere else. ■ What can I do to spot identity theft? You can increase your chances of detecting that your identity has been stolen by closely monitoring your records. Actually reading your bank and credit card statements and looking for suspicious activity can be an effective way to spot illegal use of your information before too much time has passed. Banks also offer online review of your accounts, so you don’t need to wait for monthly written statements to spot suspicious activity. If you see something odd, report it to your bank immediately; the law and policy generally require financial institutions to rectify fraudulent transactions.

■ What should I do when I receive a notice of a data breach affecting information I’ve provided? The law of 47 states (including Ohio) and the District of Columbia requires parties that hold or process personal information to notify those affected by a data breach in certain circumstances. Some businesses also provide notification of a breach even when the law does not require it. If you receive a breach notice, do not ignore it! The notice means there is a real possibility that your personal information has been compromised or, at least, that it is at risk. Read the notification closely, and if you have questions, follow up with the party that provided the notice. The letter you receive should provide contact information. The communication may offer you free credit monitoring or similar services. You should consider taking advantage of the offer, but you should carefully review the terms on which the service is offered. Several of the credit-monitoring services require you to waive certain rights and remedies, although not all do. Finally, you should even more diligently review all of your account, medical insurance and other records to look for suspicious activity or transfers.

NOVEMBER/OCTOBER 2018 / METRO MONTHLY

■ Where can I turn for help? Both the Federal Trade Commission and the Ohio Attorney General have made identity theft an enforcement priority. If you suspect that your personal information has been lost or used to steal your identity, you can contact those agencies at the following locations: Federal Trade Commission, Eaton Center, Suite 200, 1111 Superior Ave., Cleveland, Ohio 44114; phone: 216-263-3410; or Ohio Attorney General, Antitrust Section, State Office Tower, 30 E. Broad St., Columbus, Ohio 432153428; phone: 877-244-6446. You also may lodge your complaint with the FTC online at www.Identity Theft.gov. You also should consult an attorney to learn your full rights and options. This “Law You Can Use” consumer legal information column was provided by the Ohio State Bar Association.

RESTAURANTS & DINING GUIDE Valley restaurants add their twist to craft-cocktail revival BY SEAN T. POSEY

Drinks that were widely known at places like the Merry-GoRound have now returned to several Mahoning Valley bars and restaurants.

METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

f you strolled up to the rotating bar at the Club Merry-Go-Round in Youngstown during the 1940s, you’d have been handed a cocktail menu that symbolized the cornucopia of mixed drinks one could then find in bars across the country. Drinks like the Singapore sling, Tom & Jerry, stinger and mint julep were a feature of cocktail hours everywhere. However, the postwar years proved unkind to cocktails. By the 1980s, many of what were considered classic drinks had vanished from the collective memory of both bartenders and drinkers alike. In the past decade, after much effort by an avant-garde of bartenders and connoisseurs, a renaissance in “craft cocktails” is now underway. Classic recipes, made with fresh ingredients, are now joining modern classics on revamped cocktail menus in cities across the country. Drinks that were widely known at places like the MerryGo-Round have now returned to several Mahoning Valley bars and restaurants. “The movement towards craft cocktails, this has been going on for a number years nationally, but is much more commonplace locally now than it was five or six years ago,” says Bryan Jones, food and beverage director at Avalon Inn and Resort. Avalon opened Gatsby’s, a restaurant and bar with a Roaring Twenties-style theme, in November 2016 in Warren. “The bars at the different Avalon properties have themes from the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s,” say bartender Alex McDowell. “We’re the ones who are focused on doing Prohibition-style cocktails from that era, the classics.” The drink menu features the bee’s knees, a gin-based drink that takes its name from the popular phrase from the ‘20s; the Daisy, a drink that some cocktail historians refer to as the predecessor to the margarita; and the aviation, a concoction that first appeared in print in 1916 and is now enjoying a renaissance. “The bee’s knees is very popular,” McDowell says. “The aviation doesn’t get ordered as often, but if someone is adventurous enough, they’re usually pleasantly surprised by it.” In the post-war years, vodka came to dominate bars and liquor cabinets across America. Whiskey, once the most popular spirit in America, suffered. Rye whiskey

almost completely disappeared from many bars. That’s all changed, McDowell explains. Gatsby’s carries 50 different types of whiskey, including a “1920 Prohibition Style” whiskey made by Old Forester, the first bottled bourbon ever available for sale. “Whiskey is really catching on right now, so the old-fashioneds and Manhattans are

drink. “I use a little bit Angostura and black walnut bitters, and for the sweetener we use maraschino liqueur instead of just sugar.” You can find plenty of twists on the classics at downtown Youngstown’s Bistro 1907, which opened in the Stambaugh Building in May. “We want the cocktails to be rooted in Prohibition-style drinks, old school cocktails from the early 1900s,” owner Mark Canzonetta says. “We make them relevant and modern for what we’re doing here.” Drinks like the blood orange Fresno margarita and the Commerce Street – which features a combination of vermouth, gin, bourbon and ginger beer – have been especially popular with customers, says coowner Melissa Canzonetta. Bartenders at Bistro will pour anything you like, but they also enjoy helping customers stretch their tastes beyond what they usually drink, Mark says. “We get them out of their wheelhouse of comfort, out of the vodka and tonic with a lime, and we turn them on to a cucumber Collins, which is an amazingly fresh drink with gin and fresh cucumber juice.” Bartenders might suggest Bistro’s Ohio maple Manhattan to a customer who enjoys the classic version of the drink, Melissa says. The Canzonettas emphasize the importance of having a well-thought out cocktail list, and when it comes to the drink menu, her entire bar staff contributes ideas. “I want a little bit from everyone, not just from me,” Melissa says. The staff spent weeks tasting and experimenting with different drinks at the Canzonettas’ test kitchen. “It’s a lot of tweaking, just like a recipe for a chef,” Mark says. “Cocktails, to me, have to have a prefect balance, just like food has to have a perfect balance.” However, a cocktail list shouldn’t be allowed to grow stale, Melissa says. “You have to have a revolving cocktail list.” Barrel33 in Howland, a beer and wine store that features a bar and bistro, possess-

really, really big,” McDowell says. The old-fashioned – which consists of a spirit, (usually rye or bourbon) water, sugar and bitters – meets the original definition of a cocktail. “If they say they’re a whiskey drinker, I might ask them if they’ve ever tried an old-fashioned,” he says. But McDowell likes to put his own twist on the SEE COCKTAILS, Page 27

es one of the most impressive craft cocktail lists in the Valley, says owner Brian Fry. “We have something for that very knowledgeable drinker, and we also have the right glass to serve the drink in, which is not something that a lot of the bars in the area can say.” The menu features some of the oldest mixed drinks such as the mint julep and modern classics such as the black Manhattan and the songbird, which features green chartreuse, an herbal liqueur that is a favorite of cocktail connoisseurs. While working as a bartender at places like Station Square in Liberty, Fry began to notice a change in cocktail culture. “When I was doing it, you needed to know how to make a gin and tonic and a martini – things that are pretty easy to figure out. But it did begin to change about 10 years ago.” Several years ago, Fry decided that he wanted to own a bar. He took a research trip to New Orleans to taste cocktails and talk to bartenders. Fry took over ownership of barrel33 in January. “What they’re doing down there is amazing. For my money, it’s the greatest cocktail city in the world, not just the United States. We try to carry a little bit of that French Quarter stuff with us everyday in what we do.” Just as in many bars in New Orleans, all of the juices for the drinks are squeezed fresh, Fry says. “When you’re talking about drinks that require juice, if you’re pouring that out of a can or out a bottle that’s been sitting in a cooler for six, seven days, it’s just not going to taste the same.” Careful attention to the “craft” element of cocktails at barrel33 extends to the aging of drinks in barrels, Fry says. Whiskey lovers have the option of ordering a Manhattan that is aged for a month in a fiveliter oak barrel. “There’s not a ton of those drinkers in the Mahoning Valley,” Fry says, “but those drinkers do come here, and they know when they come here that we’re going to be able to take care of them.” Manhattan devotees and cocktail lovers will also find a home at the Speakeasy Lounge in downtown Warren, says owner Tony Schofer. Located in the lower level of the Best Western Park Hotel, the Speakeasy’s décor pays homage to the Roaring Twenties, and many drinkers come specifically looking for Prohibition-style cocktails, says bartender Lee Simpson. “It’s interesting how times have changed since when I was younger. Now the younger crowd is going back to the classic

A few classic cocktails Aviation

This classic cocktail’s name invokes the birth of the age of flight. It first appeared in print in 1916 in Hugo Ensslin’s book “Recipes for Mixed Drinks.” The drink became known for its saturated sky blue color. After Prohibition the aviation gradually faded into obscurity LIQUOR.COM before being revived during the cocktail renaissance of the early 2000s. However, the drink didn’t fully return to its classic status until 2007 when crème de violette became available stateside for the first time in many decades. 2 ounces gin (try Aviation) ½ ounce maraschino liqueur ¼ ounce crème de violette (try Rothman & Winter) ¾ ounce fresh lemon juice

Along with the oldfashioned and the martini, the Manhattan is one of the foundational cocktails. It’s also one of the few to successfully weather the decline of cocktail culture in the post-1960s era. This recipe, popularized by the EMPLOYEES ONLY renowned Employees Only speakeasy lounge in New York City, reflects the drink’s 19th-century origins. Unlike the modern Manhattan, this version is a vermouthforward drink. It also includes orange curaçao – as recommended in the 1860s by “Dr.” Jerry Thomas, known as the “father of American mixology.” 1¾ ounces sweet vermouth 1½ ounces rye ½ ounce Grand Marnier 3 dashes Angostura bitters

cocktails, which to me is exciting.” Many customers are far more educated about spirits and cocktails than they used to be, Schofer says. “With the advent of the internet and social media, people are exposed to so much more. It’s as easy to find the cocktail menu for a place in Prescott, Ariz., as it is Warren. So people have higher expectations now.” Simpson puts his own twists on the classics. He uses a small torch to brûlée an orange with sugar for an old-fashioned. “It gives a little bit more depth to the drink,” he says. “It’s easier to recreate then to reinvent,” Schofer says. “These are good drinks for a reason. They’ve stood the test of time.”
