ill Creek MetroParks is currently soliciting public comment for an upcoming road improvement project. The proposed project consists of furnishing the labor, materials and equipment necessary to replace the existing asphalt roadway of Memorial Hill Drive, an historic entrance to Mill Creek Park. The roadway stretches from Glenwood Avenue to West Glacier Drive in Youngstown. The project would include planing the existing asphalt concrete between curbs and installing new asphalt concrete courses. The work seeks to address deteriorated surfaces, improve safety and driving conditions, and preserve the roadway’s original function along Memorial Hill Drive. The roadway will be temporarily closed to vehicular traffic during construction. The project will be funded primarily through the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Park District Road Improvement Fund and is expected to begin in the summer of 2016. Public comment will be received through Friday, Feb. 12. The public can submit comments via email to Justin@Millcreekmetroparks.org or write Mill Creek MetroParks, RE: Memorial Hill Drive, P.O.

Summer Festival seeks artist applications The 18th Annual Summer Festival of the Arts will be held in and around Youngstown State University on July 9 and 10. Artist applications for the juried fine art show are now available. Artists are encouraged to apply by the April 4 early deadline, although applications will be accepted until the event is full. Each application must be accompanied by the $20 jury fee. If accepted, the booth fee is $100. All artists must submit an application and materials and be accepted by a panel of professional jurors. Over 80 artists participated in the two-day event last year, which also includes an ethnic festival, jazz concert and multiple family activities. “The Summer Festival of the Arts has become an anchor event for a weekend-long series of activities in our community, ” said Lori A. Factor, festival coordinator. “We are grateful to the community for supporting the arts over the years as well as to the artists who have exhibited and sold their artwork. We are looking forward to the variety of activities planned to celebrate the 18th year of bringing great art to the Valley.” Applications for fine artists wishing to sell their artwork in the Artists’ Marketplace are available by emailing Lori Factor at lafactor@ysu.edu or by downloading an application at the festival website, www.ysu.edu/sfa. The Summer Festival of the Arts originally began as the popular Walk on Wick, an event sponsored by the Youngstown Area Arts Council. It became a department of the University in 1999, expanding into a weekend long juried arts event at and around YSU.
ahoning County Probate Judge Robert N. Rusu Jr. swore in four new trustees of the Benjamin Franklin Wirt Trust during the Mahoning Valley Historical Society’s Board of Directors meeting on Jan. 19 at the Tyler History Center in downtown Youngstown. The trustees sworn in include Nancy Morris, Marilyn Oyer, Scott Schulick, and Rick Shale. A fifth trustee candidate, Janice Fagert, did not attend due to illness. Benjamin Franklin Wirt was a Youngstown attorney who served as state senator from 1889 to 1893. He and his wife were well-traveled and had amassed books, art, coins and artifacts from around the world. Following his death, Wirt’s entire estate was placed in trust, to be developed into a museum. In 1965, the trust signed an agreement with the Mahoning Valley Historical Society to house the collection within the Arms Family Museum. Trustees of the Wirt estate are active participants on the MVHS Board of Directors.
YWCA receives 5k for housing The YWCA of Youngstown recently received a $5,000 grant from the CareSource Foundation for its Barbara M. Wick Transitional Housing Program. The program provides transitional housing for women and their families who are homeless or at risk. The YWCA currently offers transitional housing to over 25 households and has a waiting list.
Melnick adds Society collection The Rose Melnick Medical Museum at Youngstown State University has added the first 25 years of the Bulletin of the Mahoning County Medical Society to its digital archives. The Bulletins date from 1931 to 1956. The late Dr. John Melnick, the Youngstown radiologist who founded the museum in 1985, already had a large collection of Bulletins at the museum. The museum will continue to scan and upload the Bulletin, all the way to the current issues, covering 84 years of local medical history. The combined collection is housed in the Rose Melnick Medical Museum section of the digital archives.

Even if the use of the substance is legal and prescribed by a medical professional, employers still have the right to make sure that the legal drugs are not affecting the employee’s job performance or workplace safety. COMPANYSPONSORED RETIREMENT PLANS any companies offer an employee retirement plan (such as a 401(k) or a SIMPLE IRA plan). These employer-sponsored plans are governed by the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The Department of Labor has taken an increasing interest in ERISA retirement plans—focusing on the suitability of the investments offered and the costs to participants. If you participate in a companysponsored retirement plan, it is important to know the answers to the following questions about that plan:
M
■ Who is the “fiduciary” responsible for your plan’s investments? ERISA requires a “fiduciary” to be named in every plan. Is your plan’s fiduciary the company,
I own a business. Under what circumstances can I drug test my employees? In Ohio, generally you can test: applicants for employment before you hire them; current employees about whom you have a “reasonable suspicion” of drug use (if, for example, the employee appears to be under the influence of drugs his or her work performance has changed dramatically and/or the employee is chronically absent); current employees randomly where you have a policy providing for random drug testing; current employees following a workplace accident or injury; and current employees following the return to work from an extended absence or drug rehabilitation. Are employees who are actively using illegal drugs or illegally using prescription drugs protected by federal employment statutes? No. Federal laws (such as the Americans with Disabilities Act [ADA] and the Family and Medical Leave Act [FMLA]) do not protect employees who are actively using drugs, whether they are illegal drugs or prescription drugs being used illegally. However, employees who are not actively using drugs (for example, recovering addicts) may be entitled to an accommodation under the ADA or leave under the FMLA for their recovery under certain circumstances. If marijuana is legalized, will I be prohibited from drug testing for the use of marijuana by my employees? No. There has been no proposal to legalize marijuana at the state level that would require an employer to allow employees to work under the influence of marijuana. Therefore, you, as the em-
the company’s executives, or the plan’s investment adviser? You have the right to obtain a copy of your company’s “plan document,” and you should have already received a “summary plan description” regarding your plan. Make sure you know who is responsible for investment decisions in your plan; this should be named in those documents. The Department of Labor proposed in April 2015 a “Conflict of Interest Proposed Rule,” which would redefine the term “fiduciary” under ERISA to include more advisers and investment advice than ERISA currently covers. That rule likely will be finalized in 2016, and may change the relationship between your plan and your investment adviser. Does your plan have an investment adviser? If so, ask the investment adviser whether the proposed rule, if finalized, will change anything in your plan. ■ What investment options are offered in your plan? Are there a range of invest-

ployer, are legally entitled to prohibit the use of marijuana as a term of employment. The same is true with respect to the use of alcohol. Alcohol is a legal substance, but most employers prohibit their employees from reporting to work drunk. The use of medical marijuana would be treated the same as the use of any other prescription drug.
ment options for different types of investors at different stages of their career, and a range of fees associated with those options? Most professionals suggest that a range of options and fees be offered. Also, if you switch jobs, you can transfer your accounts to either your new employer’s retirement plan, or to an IRA through a process called a “rollover.” Before you choose a rollover, compare the investments—and the costs—of the prior employer’s plan, the new employer’s plan and the options available in an IRA. ■ How much does your plan cost? Retirement plans are not “free.” Someone is paying something. Does your plan use more active management (and higher fees) or take a lower-cost approach? Can you determine the fees associated with each investment option you selected? Who is paying for the service providers to your plan (such as the investment manager,
or third-party administrator)? How much is being paid to those advisers, and where is the money coming from? If you have a 401(k) plan, there are fees that must be disclosed to every plan participant in a 401(k) plan through the “participant disclosures,” or what ERISA professionals call the “404(a) disclosures.” These disclosures describe the fees charged by each investment option available to the participant. Even if you have a plan that is exempt from the required disclosures, you can ask for this information. Have you received and read your plan’s fee disclosures? And, as mentioned above, if
Even if the use of the substance is legal and prescribed by a medical professional, employers still have the right to make sure that the legal drugs are not affecting the employee’s job performance or workplace safety. However, employers may be required to make an accommodation or move the employee to a different job position while he or she is taking the prescription drug. I heard that Ohio has a drug-testing program that qualifies employers to receive a discount on workers’ compensation premiums. Is that true? Yes. The Ohio Administrative Code, Section 423417-58, allows employers who establish a drug free workplace program to qualify for discounts on their state workers’ compensation insurance premiums. In order to quality, employers must maintain a written policy that provides for the following: a companysponsored employee addiction assistance program; employer payment for all drug testing; company-sponsored education for all employees regarding drug and alcohol abuse; company-sponsored training for supervisors regarding employee drug and alcohol abuse; and a five-panel drug screen plus alcohol testing that is consistent with federal drug-testing standards.

you’re considering a rollover, what are the cost differences between the current retirement plan, and the rollover option you’re considering? Sometimes the “share classes” of the investments are different in different plans, resulting in different costs. Knowing the answers to these questions is a good first step toward knowing how your plan works, and what you’re paying.

Study: Drug use trends remain stable or decline among teens
T
he National Institute of Health’s 2015 Monitoring the Future survey shows long term decline in illicit drug use, prescription opioid abuse, cigarette and alcohol use among the nation’s youth. The 2015 Monitoring the Future survey shows decreasing use of a number of substances, including cigarettes, alcohol, prescription opioid pain relievers, and synthetic cannabinoids (“synthetic But for the marijuana”). Other drug first time, daily use remains stable, including marijuana, with marijuana continued high rates of daily use reported use exceeds among 12th graders, and daily tobacco ongoing declines in percigarette use ception of its harms. The survey measures among 12th drug use and attitudes graders, the among eighth, 10th, and 12th graders, and is study found. funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, part of the National Institutes of Health. The survey has been conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor since 1975. For the first time, daily marijuana use exceeds daily tobacco cigarette use among 12th graders. Daily marijuana use for this group remained relatively stable at 6 percent, compared to 5.5 percent reporting daily cigarette smoking (down from 6.7 percent in 2014). “We are heartened to see that most illicit drug use is not increasing, non-medical use of prescription opioids is decreasing, and there is improvement in alcohol and cigarette use rates,” said Nora D. Volkow, M.D., director of NIDA. “However, continued areas of concern are the high rate of daily marijuana smoking seen among high school students, because of marijuana’s potential deleterious effects on the developing brains of teenagers, and the high rates of overall tobacco products and nicotine containing e-cigarettes usage.” “This year’s Monitoring the Future data continue the promising trends from last year with declining rates of adolescent substance use, and support the value of evidence-based prevention, treatment, and recovery,” said National Drug Control Policy Director Michael Botticelli. “Efforts to prevent drug use from ever starting are particularly important as we work to reduce the rising number of drug overdoses across the country. I encourage parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors to have a conversation with the young people in their lives about making the healthy decisions that will keep them on a path toward a successful future.” “We are very encouraged by the continued decline in underage drinking illustrated in these data,” said George F. Koob, Ph.D., director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. “However, the percent of underage individuals drinking still remains unacceptably high. For example, approximately 40 percent of 12th graders have reported being drunk in the past year and

binge drinking remains a significant problem.” Other highlights from the 2015 survey: ■ Drugs – Use of many illicit drugs has trended down. Among high school seniors, 23.6 percent report using an illicit drug in the past month, with 7.6 percent reporting they used an illicit drug other than marijuana. Perception of marijuana use as risky continues to decline, with 31.9 percent of seniors saying regular use could be harmful, compared to 36.1 percent last year. Past year use of synthetic cannabinoids (“synthetic marijuana”) is at 5.2 percent for 12th graders, down significantly from 11.4 in 2011, the first year it was measured in the survey. Past year use of heroin, typically very low among teens, is at an all-time low at 0.3 percent for eighth graders, and 0.5 for 10th and 12th graders. Use of MDMA (also known as Ecstasy or Molly), inhalants, and LSD are generally stable or down. In 2015, 3.6 percent of seniors reported past year use of MDMA, compared to 5 percent in 2014. Non-medical use of the prescription amphetamine Adderall, typically given for ADHD, remains high at 7.5 percent among 12th graders. Use of prescription opioids continues its downward trend, with 4.4 percent of high school seniors reporting non-medical use of Vicodin (hydrocodone and acetaminophen), down from a peak of 10.5 percent in 2003. Most teens abusing prescription opioids report

getting them from friends or family members. However, one-third report getting them from their own prescriptions, underscoring the need to monitor teens taking opioids and evaluate prescribing practices. ■ Tobacco – Cigarette smoking rates have greatly declined among teens in recent years. For example, among 10th graders, there has been a 54.9 percent drop in daily smoking in just five years, reported at just 3 percent this year compared to 6.6 percent five years ago. However, rates of use of other tobacco products, while not significantly changed from 2014, remain high with 12th graders, reporting rates of past year use of hookah and small cigars of 19.8 percent and 15.9 percent, respectively. More than 75 percent of high school seniors view smoking a pack or more a day as harmful, compared to 51.3 percent in 1975, first year of the survey. As e-cigarettes are currently unregulated, there is limited data on what chemicals teens are actually smoking. However, when asked what they inhaled the last time they used an e-cigarette, only about 20 percent said they were using nicotine. Most say they inhaled flavoring alone and many admitted they were unsure what they inhaled. In fact, about 13 percent of eighth graders who use e-cigarettes said they did not know what was in the device they used. Furthermore, some products labeled nicotinefree may actually contain nicotine. Roughly twice as many boys as girls report us-
ing e-cigarettes (21.5 percent to 10.9 percent). ■ Alcohol – Alcohol use continues its gradual downward trend among teens, with significant changes seen in the past five years in nearly all measures. Binge drinking (described as having five or more drinks in a row within the past two weeks) is 17.2 percent among seniors, down from 19.4 percent last year and down from peak rates in 1998 at 31.5 percent. For 12th graders, 37.7 percent say they have been drunk in the past year, compared to 41.4 percent in 2014 and 53.2 percent in 2001, when rates were highest for that group. High school seniors see a distinction in potential harmfulness between one or two drinks nearly every day (21.5 percent) versus four to five drinks nearly every day (59.1 percent). Overall, 44,892 students from 382 public and private schools participated in this year's Monitoring the Future survey. Since 1975, the survey has measured drug, alcohol, and cigarette use and related attitudes in 12th graders nationwide. Eighth and 10th graders were added to the survey in 1991. Survey participants generally report their drug use behaviors across three time periods: lifetime, past year, and past month. Questions are also asked about daily cigarette and marijuana use. NIDA has provided funding for the survey since its inception by a team of investigators at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, led by Drs. Lloyd Johnston and Richard Miech. The study is funded under grant number DA001411. Additional information on the MTF Survey, as well as comments from Volkow, can be found at www.drugabuse.gov/drugpages/MTF.html. Monitoring the Future is one of three major surveys sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that provide data on substance use among youth. The others are the National Survey on Drug Use and Health and the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. The MTF website is: www.monitoringthefuture.org. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health, sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, is the primary source of statistical information on substance use in the U.S. population 12 years of age and older. More information is available at: http://www.samhsa.gov/data/population-data-nsduh. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey, part of HHS's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, is a school–based survey that collects data from students in grades nine–12. The survey includes questions on a wide variety of health–related risk behaviors, including substance abuse. More information is available at www.cdc.gov/HealthyYouth/yrbs/index.htm. Additionally, the National Youth Tobacco Survey, a school-based survey of U.S. students in grades six-12 conducted by the CDC in collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration, collects data on the use of multiple tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. More information is available at www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/surveys/NYTS/.

Wick Recreation Area’s ice skating rink opens
Mill Creek MetroParks is announcing that the ice skating rink at the Wick Recreation Area is now open for skating. The rink that was installed over the existing sand volleyball courts is not supported by a refrigeration system making it weather dependent for operation. Due to the mild winter conditions this year, this is the first opportunity residents will have to use the outdoor skating facility. Besides ice skating, there will be sled riding, a fire pit and an upgraded concession stand with more options for food and beverage. Interested skaters will need to bring their own skates and must follow posted rules and regulations. There is no charge for ice skating or sled riding. For additional details on hours of operation, visit MillCreekMetroParks.org. For questions and more information about ice skating at the James L. Wick, Jr. Recreation Area, call Mill Creek MetroParks at 330-702-3000.

2 local runners qualify for 2016 Olympic Trials
Two local runners recently qualified for the 2016 Olympic Trials, which will be held in Los Angeles on Feb. 13. Tony Migliozzi and Sara Polatas will represent the area next month after qualifying in the marathon. Migliozzi, 25, qualified in 2015 after covering the 26.2 mile distance in a time of 2:17:27 at the Houston Marathon. Polatas, 23, qualified last fall at the Columbus Marathon running 2:43:41. The top three male and female runners at February’s trials will represent the United States at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro this summer. Both runners are employees of Second Sole Youngstown, a local running specialty store, and are recent graduates of Malone University. A related fundraiser raffle is being held at Second Sole on 224 in Boardman. Call 330-758-8708 for more information.
Local runner seeks to raise $5,000 for Rescue Mission
With less than three months until the Boston Marathon, Rick Blair of Boardman continues to train by running outdoors – in-below freezing weather – with his sights set on raising $5,000 for the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley. He’s already half way there. To help Blair reach his goal, a crowdrise website has been established at www.crowdrise.com/richardblair2. Donations may also be mailed directly to the Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley, P.O. Box 430, Youngstown, Ohio 44501. Put “Rick Blair” on the memo line. “It’s an honor, a privilege, and a blessing to get to run the 2016 Boston Marathon through the John Hancock Boston Marathon Invitational Program. . . . The Mission is more than just a homeless shelter. They stand ready to enable, encourage and equip with food, shelter, safety, and most importantly, a new way to a better tomorrow. These are my neighbors. I’m hoping people will help me to help them.” “The entire Blair family gives so much to the Mission,” said Lynn Wyant, director of development. “They volunteer and pour themselves into our ministry. Rick is a gifted musician and he often provides music for our chapel services on Sundays and holidays. Rick, his wife and children are just amazing.” Compiled from local reports.
