Parents Do the Darndest Things
L
ook up. That’s my dad at the top of the page. Back when “Enjoy Summer” was called “Summer Fun,” he struggled with (and conquered) a hula hoop for the cover of our annual guide. My dad passed away last summer, but memories of his generosity and fun spirit remain. Over the years, he found his way onto countless Metro Monthly covers. At various times, he was as a chef, an ice skater and a baker. He once posed on a park bench reading the issue in which he was depicted. He never refused, no matter how silly the request. But back to the hula hoop. Youngstown photographer Debbie Golec staged the shoot. I couldn’t be there, but I remember the followup call. Debbie couldn’t stop laughing. The hula hoop demanded a rhythm foreign to my dad, and it kept falling down. But photography simply requires a moment, and Debbie found it. It stands as one of my favorite covers. Happy birthday (June 15) and Happy Father’s Day, dad! – from your children (Christopher, Mark, Eric and Marshawn). IMAGE BY TANNER MONDOK

Youngstown Parks and Recreation eager to get back into the game BY CHRIS McBRIDE
A
fter having a limited season in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Youngstown Parks and Recreation Department Director Dawn Turnage is eager to reclaim a sense of normalcy this summer. “The parks are the heartbeat of the community, and we want people to understand the importance of getting outside,” Turnage said. “They’re more than just a playground, they’re a place for people to gather.” She said city parks offer healthy opportunities – everything from walking trails to exercise equipment. Summer Camp, Jazz in the Park As the summer season kicks off, there will be more opportunities for the community to get out and enjoy what the parks have to offer. Among them is a Summer Camp Program (July 7-Aug. 6), which is free to those who register. The camp is open to youth ages 5-17. Jazz in the Park returns, but has relocated to Wick Park in order to accommodate more people and maintain social distancing. The series kicks off Sunday, July 18. Its final set will be Sunday, Sept. 5. Youngstown Parks and Recreation is also planning “Sunday Jazz” at Northside Pool and “Jazz at the Grass” at the Eugenia Atkinson Recreational Center. Turnage suggested that movie nights could be added to the schedule as COVID restrictions are being lifted. “We still ask that social distancing is practiced and, if not, vaccinated signs will PHOTO BY CHRIS MCBRIDE be posted asking those who are not vacciYoungstown Parks and Recreation Department Director Dawn Turnage in Wick Park nated to wear a mask.” The Parks and Rec team recently hosted a last month.

Beginning June 3, the golf course will be open for extended hours – from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday-Thursday. n Northside Pool will reopen on June 7. n Youth Sports League – A newly formed Youth All Sports Planning & Advisory Committee is in the early stages of organizing a Youth Recreation Sports program. The Parks and Recreation Department will partner with Community Initiative to Reduce Violence (CIRV), the Youngstown Police Department and the YMCA to oversee the formation of youth recreation sports programs. As organizers eye a tentative July 1 start date, the committee is welcoming the community – parents/guardians, Little League coaches, potential team sponsors and referees – to give insight into the formation of the league. “We want people to participate and in getting that input, we want to move really quickly on that because I know that the season is right around the corner, when it comes to fall sports,” Turnage said. Community Liaison Malik Mostella, stressed the importance of involving coaches, considering the amount of time they spend with the kids. “Coaches are like surrogate parents; the kids get to see them every day and they’re with the kids every day, they deal with them every day,” Mostella said. Committee member and CIRV Director Guy Burney, has been involved in a number of sports leagues; he hopes to see the program evolve beyond athletics, into a mentoring and character building opportunity. “I want it to be about building each other up and learning how to handle conflict properly. That’s my objective in being involved with this,” Burney said. Turnage shares in Burney’s hopes to see what more the league can become in the future, hoping to eventually establish a STEM and entrepreneurship program. n Move with the Mayor – Mayor Jamael Tito Brown will be participating in the nationwide “‘Move with the Mayor” campaign, which occurs Aug. 1-Oct. 15. The program challenges constituents and community members throughout the U.S. to get active and be mobile around the city. See PARK & REC, Page 36 METRO MONTHLY JUNE/JULY 2021 5

COCKTAILS
Daiquiri
The daiquiri is often described by connoisseurs as one of the original classic cocktails. The drink first emerged in the 1890s and is named for a small village in Cuba. In the late twentieth century, the daiquiri became known as a frozen drink, but this recipe is faithful to the original.
DIFFORDS GUIDE
2 ounces light rum ¾ ounce simple syrup ½ ounce lime juice CANSTOCK
Navigating the new takeout alcohol law BY SHAWN DOMINY ow that Ohioans can buy three takeout margaritas with their enchiladas to go, is it O.K to sip one on the way home? If not, can a passenger drink it? And if that’s not allowed, where in the car should the drinks be placed during the drive home? No one wants to get charged with “open container,” or any other Ohio alcohol-related offenses for that matter, so consumers should know the ins and outs of Ohio’s new law allowing takeout alcoholic drinks. In 2020, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine enacted a cocktails-to-go policy by executive order. That order permitted customers to purchase two alcoholic drinks with each takeout meal. The policy was implemented as a way to provide restaurants and bars with additional income as they faced financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The executive order was a temporary emergency rule. A more permanent Ohio law authorizing takeout alcoholic drinks was soon passed. Ohio Revised Code section 4303.185, effective Oct. 12, 2020, states that a qualified permit holder may sell alcoholic beverages by the individual drink for offpremises consumption. In other words, patrons can now buy cocktails to go from their favorite restaurant (if they have a liquor license, of course). The cocktails are subject to a few rules: n First, the drinks must be in containers which are closed and sealed. n Second, a meal must be sold with the drinks. n Third, there is a limit of three drinks per meal for each customer. The rules for cocktails to go are not limited to the restaurants selling the beverages. Customers who purchase the beverages also are subject to regulations. For instance, Ohio Revised Code section 4301.64 prohibits consuming alcohol in a motor vehicle. The law applies to everyone in a motor vehicle, so not even the passenger can sample the margarita on the way home. Violating this law can lead to a jail sentence up to 30 days, a fine up to $250 and five years of probation. Additionally, the “open container” law found in Ohio Revised Code section 4301.62 states that no person shall have in their possession an
N
opened container of beer or intoxicating liquor. A violation is punishable by a fine of up to $150. The rule has many interesting exceptions for orchestral performances, racing events and passengers on “commercial quadricycles.” However, there is no exception for cocktails to go. The takeout drinks must be in their closed, sealed containers to avoid an open container charge. So long as the drinks are closed and sealed, they do not need to be in any particular part of the vehicle on the way home, as a legal matter. But, as a practical matter, it may be wise to transport the beverages somewhere other than the cup holder, as that location may be tempting to drivers and passengers. Suppose a driver gives into that temptation and indulges in a takeout drink on the way home. If the driver is stopped by a law enforcement officer, that officer will see the open container of alcohol in the car and smell the odor of the alcoholic beverage on the driver’s breath. Not only can the officer charge the driver with violating both Ohio laws described above, but they will almost certainly begin a DUI investigation (called “OVI” in Ohio). If the driver performs poorly on field sobriety tests, like many people do, they may end up being charged with OVI too and will need the services of a skilled DUI/OVI lawyer. The new law permitting cocktails to go is a good policy for assisting the restaurant industry. It’s also good for customers who want a convenient alcoholic drink with a takeout dinner. But when taking advantage of the new policy, just be sure to follow Ohio’s rules for alcohol in vehicles.

Cable Car
This simple but sophisticated cocktail is guaranteed to keep you as cool as a San Francisco summer. The cable car emerged from the mind of bartender Tony AbouGanim at the famed Starlight Room and is SPIRITED what you might call a new classic cocktail. Any spice rum will work in this drink, but something from the upper shelves of your local liquor store is recommended. Grand Marnier can be substituted for the Curaçao. In a cocktail shaker combine: 1 ½ ounces spiced rum ¾ ounce orange Curaçao or Grand Marnier 1 ounce lemon juice ½ ounce simple syrup Shake with ice and then strain into a cocktail glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar.
Southside
Actual gin became a rare luxury during the days of Prohibition. Much of what was produced fell under the heading of “bathtub gin,” which usually consisted of grain alcohol mixed with juniper oil and glycerin. The poor taste of this concoction necessitated that it be mixed in a cocktail. The Southside is thought to have emerged with the gangster set on Chicago’s Southside during the Roaring Twenties. 1½ ounces gin ¾ ounce lemon juice ½ ounce simple syrup Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with mint sprigs. – Compiled by Sean T. Posey

INGREDIENTS
his variation of the popular baked oats trend allows you to eat dessert as a healthy breakfast. This recipe fills an 8-inch cake pan, but you can easily cut the recipe in half or in quarters for ramekins or smaller pan sizes. You can use any whipped topping you like, but this recipe is shown with a vegan whip cream which is lower in sugar and low in fat. I highly recommend vegan whip cream recipes like the one shown using aquafaba (the liquid from canned garbanzo bean), vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and cream of tartar.
Place all the ingredients in a blender. Blend on high, until smooth.
Apple and Carrot Salad
Add carrots, chives, oil, sugar, salt, pepper and cheese; toss to mix thoroughly. Serves 8. Makes ¾ cups per serving.

ENJOY SUMMER, From Page 5 “What we’ll do is we’ll have a ‘Walk Wednesday’ and we’ll let individuals know where the mayor will be, and as he walks for 30 minutes,” Turnage said. “We’re trying to be hands-on and have that touchy relationship with the leader of our community.” n Cleanups – In addition to new programs, park cleanups have been underway, with Turnage stating they’ve been receiving help from all over. “Youngstown State University and Honors College students, as well as other organizations, such as the Youngstown Lifeguard Academy have all been joining us in cleaning up our parks.” She emphasized how important the upkeep of our parks is – not only to the community but to tourists who come to visit. n Grants – Securing grants is a vital part of maintaining parks around the Valley. “Due to the challenges of funding support facing urban parks, such as Youngstown Parks and Recreation, applying for grants is the most common method of raising funds for city parks,” Turnage said. The parks department applies for grants monthly, but currently two grants are being eyed to help with upkeep at several parks locations. The Nature Works Grant, from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), would go toward upgrading the B&O Station, providing improvements to the commons and a deck normally utilized for kayaking. The second, the Kaboom Grant, is a park-structure grant earmarked to fund new playground equipment at Falls Park on the city’s South Side. The grant accounts for $85,000 in funding for the project. “When awarded grants and approved donations, both private and individual as well as from corporations, this allows for the investment in landscaping, healthy green spaces, safe play spaces and the ability to manage the undertaking of revitalization of recreational facilities,” Turnage said. n Renovations – You can see the impact these grants play in improving the parks with some of the recent renovations. The kitchen inside the Wick Park Pavilion now offers stainless steel appliances. Turnage said the park system will be installing additional round tables to safely accommodate more people. After being repurposed as a COVID testing/vaccination facility, the Eugenia Atkinson Recreational Center will go back to hosting its normal recreational activities. The cafe there will feature an updated commercial stove to allow cooking classes

Turnage and Peace speculated that people receiving the extra unemployment may contribute to the issue but added that people weary of working through the ongoing pandemic could play a role as well. The parks department is currently taking applications for lifeguard positions at Northside Pool and Stambaugh Golf Course, among other areas. For those seeking employment or wanting to get involved with volunteer cleanups, Turnage advised contacting the parks department by phone. Community members can also follow the parks department on social media in order to reach out about opportunities. “If there’s a group that wants to do a cleanup project, we will provide anything that they need, in order for that to happen,” Turnage said. Despite the worker shortage, Turnage has high expectations for the parks department during this upcoming summer season. She wants locals and visitors to know how vital parks are to establishing and maintaining the quality of life in the community. “Our goal is ensure the health of our families and our youth are up to standard, as well as contributing to our economic and environmental well-being which is definitely something that our community needs,” she said.

VALLEY FOUNDATIONS & LOCAL NONPROFITS Lit Youngstown seeks Mercy Health Foundation provides crucial support during pandemic Andrews/Logan memories BY PAUL HOMICK Installation Lit Youngstown is seeking memories from current and past residents of the Andrews/Logan Avenue corridors for the next installment of the Andrews Avenue Memory Mural. The literary-arts organization is working in collaboration with Youngstown State University’s Department of Art. The first section of the mural focused on downtown Youngstown. Dozens of residents submitted memories, which inspired the 120-by-80 foot mural designed by students in YSU painting professor Dragana Crnjak’s class on creating and installing public art. Students worked with Youngstown CityScape, the Mahoning Valley Historical Society and the Andrews Avenue Business Association to understand the history of downtown Youngstown. Images of the present and imagined future were interwoven with images of the past, which included a movie reel, gears and machinery, and Christmas windows from Strouss’ Department Store. The first section of the mural was completed in November. The project was funded by a grant from the Wean Foundation, the YSU Art Department, City Machine Technologies, Inc. (CMT) and Brilex Industries. CMT and Brilex are both located on Andrews Avenue. Donor logos were incorporated into the mural. Information on how to submit a memory is available at www.LitYoungstown.org. Lit Youngstown is a literary arts nonprofit with programs for writers, readers, and storytellers.
YMCA 12 Rounds benefit slated for June 11-12

The event will be held 5-7p.m., Friday, June 11 and 9:30-11:30 a.m., Saturday, June 12 at in the Central YMCA parking lot, located at the corner of E. Commerce and N. Walnut streets in downtown Youngstown. Participants will take part in a high-energy dynamic circuit training event, a special version of Youngstown’s own Clemate Franklin’s 12 Rounds class. “I am excited to see my 12 rounds class expand to include this meaningful event. It’s about unity and community,” Franklin said. 12 Rounds is a total body workout focusing on agility, flexibility, speed, hand-eye coordination, power, and resistance. The event will include stations such as hill climb, battle ropes, tire flips, boxing, yoga stretch, and more. Designed for all fitness levels, modifications will be available and encouraged. Event coordinator Meri Fetkovich says, “We are fighting for a healthier spirit, mind, and body through friendship, achievement, and belonging.” She encourages everyone to invite family and friends to participate, or donate to, this one-of-a-kind event. With an event goal of $20,000, individuals will be raising funds to participate. Those interested in participating or donating should visit: https://ymcayo.org/12rounds-2021/
