With the youngest of the baby boomers hitting 65 by 2029, the number of people with visual impairment or blindness in the United States is expected to double to more than 8 million by 2050, according to projections based on the most recent census data and from studies funded by the National Eye Institute.

Don Constantini, a graduate of Youngstown State University and founder of Falcon Transport and Comprehensive Logistics Co. in Youngstown, is donating $1 million for a multimedia center at Stambaugh Stadium.

The first two students to earn bachelor’s degrees with help from Sister Jerome’s Mission College marked their accomplishments recently with congratulations from Jim Tressel, president of YSU.

The Ohio Valentine Act specifically prohibits agreements that restrain trade and hurt competition. Certain agreements among competitors, including agreements to fix prices, rig bids and allocate customers, suppliers or markets, are considered so harmful that the law prohibits them even if cannot be shown that the agreements did, in fact, hurt competition.

PUBLISHER’S NOTES

Students see new possibilities downtown

I

t’s always interesting to see how strangers view your community. Recently, planning and urban-design students from Kent State University have been using downtown Youngstown as a laboratory. With fresh eyes, they have created plans for rethinking and transforming underused spaces and blank real estate. The result is “CHANGING VIEWS/Designing Youngstown’s Future,” which is on currently on display at the McDonough Museum of Art in Youngstown. The exhibit features work from YSU’s Regional Economic Development Initiative, Kent State’s College of Architecture and Environmental Design, and KSU’s Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative. One inventive student uses colorful awnings, new windows and a rooftop garden to connect the Federal Place food court to Commerce and North Phelps. Others developed comprehensive branded signage to help visitors find their way downtown. There are gardens, greenspaces and lots of ideas that reflect what’s current in city planning. Because it’s student work, not all projects are tethered to a financially achievable outcome, but it’s well worth seeing. The exhibit is on display until July 22. Check it out. Enjoy summer, be well, and see you next month.

Warren Gridiron Club sets ‘NFL Legends’ fall reunion

T

he Warren Gridiron Club has scheduled “The NFL Legends of Warren Reunion and Celebrity Golf Outing” for Sept. 25-26. The reunion will culminate a weekend of events scheduled for Warren Homecoming Weekend, Sept. 23-26. The reunion will bring together many former Warren Harding and Western Reserve football standouts. It includes a dinner, meetand-greet opportunities and a golf outing. Many Warren football players went on to play at NCAA Division I schools and had careers in the National Football League. The honorary co-chairs for the event are Beverly and Paul Warfield. On Sunday, Sept. 25, the public will be able to meet former NFL stars like Paul Warfield; Ross, Joey, Jimmie and Keith Browner; Mario Manningham; Chris Rucker; and others during a dinner at Trumbull Country Club. Dress for the event will be business casual. On Monday, Sept. 26, the Warren Gridiron Club will host a celebrity golf outing at Trumbull Country Club, where supporters can play a round of golf and have breakfast and lunch with the former players. “We have invited more than 20 former Warren Harding and Western Reserve athletes to attend these events. They include those mentioned above, plus Deryck Toles, Leshun Daniels, Travis Davis, David Herron, Prescott Burgess, Derrick Kelson and Alfie Bunch,” said Warren Gridiron Club chairwoman Virginia Holmes. Adam Gregory, the director of the Fine Arts Council of Trumbull County, added, “ ‘The NFL Legends of Warren Reunion and Celebrity Golf Outing’ is a major attraction for returning former Warren residents. Few things are as deeply imbedded in Warren’s DNA as our success in high school football.” The Warren Gridiron Club was founded in 1990. It has more than 80 members who support and promote the football program at Warren Harding and other Warren City Schools. They, and their subsidiary group, the “Raider Moms” sell concessions, spirit items and run the 50-50 drawings at Harding games. The group can be found on Facebook at “Warren Gridiron Club” or a www.wghsports.com.

YSU Trustees approve dean for College of Creative Arts

P

hyllis Paul, associate dean in the School of Music and Dance at the University Oregon, is the new dean of the College of Creative Arts and Communication at Youngstown State University. The YSU Board of Trustees approved the appointment last month at its regular quarterly meeting on campus. Paul is the third dean appointment at YSU this year. Wim Steelant became the new dean of the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in March, and Kristine Blair became the new dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences in May. “We are very pleased with the hiring of

he “Hunger Doesn’t Take a Vacation” report, released in mid-June by the Food Research & Action Center, found that modest growth from 2013 to 2014 in the percentage of eligible children participating in the Summer Food Service Program in Ohio was erased in 2015. Nationally, nearly one in six eligible children participated in the Summer Food Service Program in 2015. In Ohio, that number was one in 10. “Nonprofit agencies, faith-based organizations, schools and local governments are doing what they can to help low-income children with the resources they have through the Summer Food Service Program,” said Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director of the Ohio Association of Foodbanks. “Thanks to the efforts of those community partners, and the leadership of the Ohio Department of Education, Ohio gained additional sponsors and sites last summer. But unfortunately, the program model itself is a hindrance to effectively serving kids in our state.” The federal Summer Food Service Program requires that children consume meals on-site, and provides only a modest reimbursement to sponsors for the cost of providing that meal. Ohio struggles to keep up with other states in reaching children that normally rely on subsidized school meals during the school year. The report found that among the 50 states and the District of Columbia, Ohio’s rank nationally fell to 40, from 38 in summer 2014. “Ohio has a wide mix of rural, suburban and urban areas that all face unique challenges in serving meals on-site to children. Without reliable access to public transportation, safe streets to walk to local feeding locations and accessible facilities to consume meals, Ohio children will always be at a dis-

what we consider to be three quality educational leaders,” said Martin Abraham, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. “All three were appointed after extensive national searches, and we look forward to seeing their expertise and energy lead their colleges, and the university as a whole, to even greater accomplishments.” Also at last month’s meeting, trustees approved a $169.8 million fiscal year operating budget. The spending plan assumes stable enrollment and a 2.2 percent increase in state funding. It is YSU’s first operating budget in five years without a structural operating deficit. The board also agreed to freeze tuition, all student fees, and room and board costs for next academic year, maintaining YSU’s status as the most affordable public university in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. Paul begins her new position July 1. The College of Creative Arts and Communication includes the departments of Art, Communication, Theater and Dance, and the Dana School of Music. The college enrolls 900 students. Paul comes to YSU after 13 years at the School of Music and Dance at the University of Oregon. She most recently was associate dean and director of Graduate and See VALLEY UPDATE, Page 7

advantage because of the way the program is currently structured,” said Hamler-Fugitt. The Ohio Association of Foodbanks has partnered with Gov. John R. Kasich, the Governor’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Ohio Department of Education on the Governor’s Summer Meals Programs to fill in some of the many gaps left by the federal Summer Food Service Program. The association completed a survey of parents/guardians of participants in one of those programs, the Rural Delivery Meals Program, which delivers a week’s worth of shelf-stable meals for children to consume at home when they don’t have access to a traditional meals site. The survey found that because their children received meals through the program, 82 percent of families could afford other things that they needed that they otherwise would not have been able to buy. Most (85 percent) said it is more difficult for their household to afford food on their own during the summer, but the same number of respondents said they were either not aware of or did not have access to another summer meals program nearby. The association partners with the Corporation for National and Community Service to deploy AmeriCorps VISTA Summer Associate members to help summer meals programs serve more children. More than 60 AmeriCorps VISTA members began their 10-week national service term in early June, serving at summer meals sites in Ashtabula, Athens, Belmont, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Defiance, Marietta, Ravenna, Sciotoville, Toledo, Wellston, Westerville, Willard and Youngstown. “We know that more must be done, and thousands of hard-working volunteers, community leaders and public agencies continue to step up to promote and expand summer meals programs,” said Hamler-Fugitt. “But we know the most effective solution needs to include options like those outlined in the Hunger Free Summer for Kids Act, which would allow nonprofits to deliver meals for kids living in hard-to-reach areas to consume at home. We continue to urge Congress to adopt solutions that lead to more nutritious meals for more at-risk children when considering Child Nutrition Reauthorization and other legislation.” To read the full “Hunger Doesn’t Take a Vacation” report, visit www.frac.org.

Falcon founder gives YSU $1 million for media center

D

on Constantini, a graduate of Youngstown State University and founder of Falcon Transport and Comprehensive Logistics Co. in Youngstown, is donating $1 million toward the construction of a multimedia center on the east side of YSU’s Stambaugh Stadium. The Don Constantini Multimedia Center will house classrooms and laboratories for the YSU Department of Communication, as well as game day activities for all Stambaugh Stadium events. In addition, the center will include space for YSU’s Sports Broadcasting program and the new Constantini Classroom, which will host hundreds of students enrolled annually in mandatory introductory Communications courses. Constantini, who earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Youngstown University in 1966, said he is proud to call YSU his alma mater. “Youngstown State is the gem of the entire Mahoning Valley region,” he said. “I am happy to be able to support an institution that continues to positively impact the lives of thousands of people every year.”

Adam Earnheardt, chairman of the YSU Department of Communication, said the new multimedia center will be an invaluable resource for students in his department, particularly in the new Sports Broadcasting program. “If you have a Sports Broadcasting program, you must have the facilities to support it, and this media center goes a long way to ensuring the strength of our program,” he said. “To be sure, this is not a Saturday-inthe-Fall-only type of space. Our department is looking at this as an academic space first, where real world learning will take place. So, we plan to use this space more than seven or eight times a year. In fact, you will see students in and out this new center five days a week during the regular semester.” “We bring in top notch professional faculty from around the region to teach our students. These sports broadcasting faculty have worked for networks like ESPN, Fox Sports, the Gold Channel and Sports Time Ohio. Now we’ll have a facility that matches the needs of the professionals teaching in our program,” added Earnheardt. This is the latest is a series of gifts that Constantini has made to YSU. He also donated $150,000 to the YSU Foundation to endow a scholarship to a football student-athlete ma-

joring in business, $150,000 toward the construction of the Andrews Student Recreation and Wellness Center, and $200,000 toward the construction of the Williamson College of Business Administration building. In 2005, Constantini was recognized as the Outstanding Business Alumnus by the Williamson College of Business Administration, and in 2014 he was honored as YSU Penguin of the Year. He is a member of the YSU President’s Council, the YSU Foundation Board of Trustees and the Williamson College of Business Administration Advisory Council. He has maintained a loge in Stambaugh Stadium for more than 25 years. He also has served on local boards of Catholic Charities, Salvation Army, the Penguin Club and various positions in the American Trucking Association. Constantini is the father of two sons, Mark and Brad. After graduating from Baldwin-Wallace College, both sons joined the family enterprise. He also has three grandchildren – Emma, Kate and Brad II. Don and Diana D’Alesio, his significant other of 20 years, live in Canfield and have a second home in Palm Beach, Fla. Constantini began his business career with the Delco Remy Division of General Motors in Anderson, Ind., first as a production supervisor and then a general foreman. In 1969, he returned to Ohio and joined McNicholas Transportation as terminal manager in Columbus. He advanced through the company, serving as maintenance director, vice president of sales and, in 1974, was promoted to president. When McNicholas closed in 1982, Constantini, along with two others from McNicholas, founded Compass Transportation and purchased Falcon Transport. In the 1990s, Falcon won four GM Supplier-of-theYear awards, four Chrysler Gold Pentastar Awards and the Ford Motor Company Service Award. Midway through the decade, a sister company, Comprehensive Logistics, was started to provide logistical solutions for its customer base. In 2000, Compass was merged into Falcon and a new affiliate, Comprehensive Logistics, began to provide supply chain management to the automotive and steel industries. Falcon Transport operates in 38 states and has nearly 1,500 employees and 900 trucks. The company has been listed in the Top 100 Truck Lines in the nation. Comprehensive Logistics employs 2,500 people and operates more than 6 million square feet of facilities in 12 locations in the United States and Canada.

Ohio broadband trends cite strides, challenges

■ Ohio Broadband Trends, which documents the growth of broadband availability and adoption in Ohio, also reports significant gaps in technology access and adoption in the state. The report, compiled by Dr. John Hoag of Ohio University, discusses Ohio’s leadership role in cultivating broadband investment, building a trained technology workforce, and increasing the use of technology. However, the report also documents persistent broadband availability, adoption, and use gaps in Ohio. While most of Ohio has access to basic broadband service (95 percent), broadband speeds in Appalachia Ohio are significantly slower than in urban areas—for DSL technology, speeds in Ohio urban areas are up to seven times faster than in Appalachia Ohio; for cable modem, urban speeds are 1.5 times faster than cable modem service in Appalachia. The United States Census Bureau ranks Ohio thirtieth in terms of residential broadband adoption. This

places Ohio behind larger states like New York and California, but ahead of neighbors Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Connect Ohio surveys show that in 2013, 76 percent of all Ohio households subscribed to broadband; but in Appalachia Ohio, only 68 percent of households subscribed. Hoag calls this a “stubborn rate of non-adoption” that has not closed markedly over the last few years. While household broadband subscriptions have plateaued and show little growth, the adoption and use of mobile broadband is growing rapidly. However, data caps are affecting consumers’ use of mobile broadband solutions. Forty-five percent of mobile broadband subscribers in Appalachia Ohio report hitting their data cap in the last year. Thirty-eight percent of non-Appalachian subscribers report hitting their mobile broadband cap. Ohio is a leader in using broadband in education: it ranks No. 2 in the nation in online K-12 school enrollments (31,000) students. Seven percent of K-12 students in Ohio have a school-issued laptop or tablet device; however, students in Appalachia are half as likely to have access to such a device, and for those that do, 20 percent of Appalachian K-12 students cannot use them at home due to lack of broadband access. Twenty-eight percent of employed Ohio adults report that they use broadband to telework regularly. Connect Ohio, in partnership with state and federal government, has taken action to improve broadband access and adoption statewide. In part as a result of these actions, between 2010 and 2015 Ohio’s Commercial

Strand Project culminates with local monologue performances BY SEAN T. POSEY METRO MONTHLY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

O

n the evenings of June 3 and 4 one of the most original theater experiments in the Youngstown area unfolded on the darkened stage of the intimate black-box theater at Selah Restaurant in Struthers. Consisting of 20 local actors performing individual monologues written by authors from across the country, the threads of the Strand Project unwound for delighted audiences. The idea for the project emerged after Brian Palumbo, owner of Selah and a local actor, presented Lit Youngstown board member Kris Harrington with a powerful piece entitled “HIV,” which he had written after the recent passing of a friend. Palumbo’s script gave Harrington

the idea of staging a full-length production of nothing but dramatic monologues. Lit Youngstown board member Karen Schubert posted a call for submissions on a professional creative writing Listserv, and they ultimately received over 100 entries. “Something like this hadn’t been done in the area,” Harrington observed. “After looking for hours on the Internet, I realized that it really hasn’t been done anywhere.” After a committee looked over the entries, Harrington wrote a script based on the final chosen pieces. “I like the idea of people telling stories, but I also like the idea of there being several levels of interpretation: writer, actor and director.” The backdrop for the script is an anonymous bar that takes advantage of the cabaret space of Selah’s upstairs theater.

Three of the monologues will be performed again at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 10 at the Summer Festival of the Arts at YSU. “We needed a believable space where people would be telling their stories,” said Harrington. Audience members appear to be almost part of the bar, and one monologue, performed by actress Tracy McQuillan, involves direct interaction with the audience. The actors are grouped in clusters, each telling an individual tale to another actor in their particular section of the set. The monologues span the range from the dark and introspective to the humorous and lighthearted. From a young woman confessing a rape that she never reported, to a nostalgic trip back to 1970s

Youngstown on the Fourth of July, every piece proves to be uncommonly powerful. “I think that it demonstrates the complexity of character of the human experience,” said first time actor Bill Soldan. “There’s a reflective tone to the monologues, but they all balance each other out.” The strands of the various monologues come together to from a moving whole, with clear direction provided by Selah Theater director Mary Ruth Lynn. Both performances played to a packed house. Three of the pieces will be performed again, courtesy of Lit Youngstown, at the Summer Festival of the Arts at YSU on Sunday, July 10 at 2 p.m. A second iteration of the Strand Project will be performed with all new monologues at Selah in the summer of 2017.

Valentine Act protects trade and competition in Ohio I

CAN STOCK

CHANGING CUSTODY AGREEMENTS IN OHIO ■ My ex and I previously agreed on all issues surrounding custody of our children, but now want to make some changes. What must we do? In Ohio, if you previously went through a court proceeding where custody and parenting time was established, you may modify your previous agreement any time you wish. If you and the other parent agree, you can simply file a motion asking the court to modify the previous custody order. You will have to pay a filing fee and complete court-required forms (called affidavits) that will be attached to your motion. You then submit your written agreement to the court for approval. You can either completely replace

’ve heard that competing companies sometimes make agreements to fix prices and rig bids. Does Ohio law allow this? No. In fact, the Ohio Valentine Act specifically prohibits agreements that restrain trade and hurt competition. Certain agreements among competitors, including agreements to fix prices, rig bids and allocate customers, suppliers or markets, are considered so harmful that the law prohibits them even if cannot be shown that the agreements did, in fact, hurt competition. How do these agreements among competitors work, and why does Ohio law consider them to be so harmful? As a general rule, when companies compete prices are reduced. Without competition, prices rise. Two competing companies may agree that they will only sell their competing products for a set price and not discount, or they may agree to coordinate their pricing in bidding for a particular job. Such agreements are viewed as anti-competitive

your previous agreement or modify certain provisions of your previous order. You must file the new motion and agreement in the same county in which your previous action took place. If the changes are substantial, you should consider replacing your entire agreement to eliminate confusion. ■ We previously agreed on all custody issues, but now I want to change our agreement and my ex will not agree. What can I do? If you want to modify a prior custody agreement but the other parent does not agree, you must file your own motion with the court. Since you are the parent who is asking for the change and filing the motion, you will need to fill out the court-required forms and pay the filing fee. You will also have to “serve” the other

because they result in higher prices for consumers. Does the Ohio Valentine Act prohibit any other kinds of agreements among competitors? Other agreements, which may or may not violate the Act, include exclusive dealing agreements, tying/bundling agreements (requiring a buyer to purchase two or more products together), information exchanges and reciprocal dealing arrangements. In determining whether such agreements violate the Act, an enforcement agency or Court will weigh the pro-competitive benefits of the agreement against its anti-competitive effects. If an agreement’s anti-competitive effects outweigh the pro-competitive effects, then it will be condemned. What happens to those who violate the Valentine Act? Companies and individuals who violate the Valentine Act may face both criminal and civil penalties. These can include three times the amount of the “damages” (the amount of money a court awards to the person or company harmed by the violation), substantial fines, forfeit or return of profits, repayment to victims and, in the case of an individual, possible jail time. Companies convicted of violating the Act may also be banned from doing business in Ohio. Who enforces Ohio’s Valentine Act?

The Antitrust Section of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office enforces the

parent with a copy of the filing through the court’s clerk. ■ What must I prove to get custody modified? First, a court will ask you, “What’s changed since the last time the parties were in court?” If you are seeking to modify a previous custody order, you must show there has been a “substantial and unforeseen change” in the circumstances of the residential parent. If you have “shared parenting,” for example, you may be requesting modification because of a major change in your life (or the life of the other parent or a child). In sole custody cases, (where one parent is the sole residential parent), however, you generally must demonstrate that something has substantially changed in the other parent’s life or the child(ren)’s lives. You and the other parent must provide evidence you

Act. Private parties who are injured due to a violation of the Act may also bring a lawsuit in an Ohio state court for triple damages and attorneys’ fees. What about monopolies? Does the Valentine Act prohibit companies from controlling the entire supply of goods or services in a certain market? No. Unlike the more comprehensive federal Sherman Act, the Valentine Act does not prohibit this “single firm conduct.” So, an Ohio corporation may, on its own, monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, a market without violating the Valentine Act. However, a federal law, the Sherman Act, does prohibit monopolization and attempts to monopolize, so an Ohio corporation that engages in such conduct may be violating federal law. For this reason, companies with substantial market shares need to be careful that they do not engage in conduct that makes it difficult if not impossible for smaller companies to compete. How could a violation of the Valentine Act harm me as a consumer? As a consumer, you may be harmed by antitrust violations in many different ways. For example, price fixing agreements likely will increase the price you’ll pay for a product. Market allocation and exclusive dealing agreements may limit the suppliers from whom you can purchase a product, which may reduce product offerings and raise prices. Tying/bundling agree-

believe supports your case, and the court will examine a variety of factors to determine what kind, if any, modification would serve the children’s best interests. ■ How long does the process take? The process can take from 9 to 12 months, depending on how complex the case is. In any custody case, either parent can ask the court to appoint a guardian ad litem (GAL). This is a third-party (often an attorney) the court appoints to investigate the “best interests” of the children. Both parents can explain to the GAL their points of view, in detail. The GAL will also talk to the children and observe them in the parties’ homes, will talk to significant others, such as family members, friends, teachers and counselors. Once this investigation is complete, the GAL will issue a report

ments may require you to purchase a product you do not want so you can have access to the product you do want. Also, if competition among competitors is reduced, those companies may spend less on research and development, which often produces new and better product offerings. How do I report a Valentine Act violation? You may report potential violations of the Valentine Act online using the Antitrust Bid-Rigging Web Tip Form at www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Legal/ Antitrust/Antitrust-bid-rigging-Webtip-form. You may also report potential antitrust violations by phone to either the Attorney General’s Help Center (1-800-282-0515) or directly to the Ohio Attorney General’s Antitrust Section (1-614-466-4328).

to the court and make a recommendation about what would be in the children’s best interests. ■ Do the children get a say in the case? Children’s wishes, as they get older, are taken into consideration, but their wishes are not the court’s only consideration. Many people believe children may “elect” which parent they want to live with when the children reach a certain age. This is not true. ■ What happens during the trial? Both sides will present evidence to support their case. The GAL will participate and can question witnesses. The magistrate or judge can also question witnesses. Witnesses may include the parents themselves, the children, friends, family, co-workers, daycare workers, school teachers, and others.

■ What happens after a trial?

The court typically takes the matter “under advisement” and will eventually issue an opinion deciding the case. If a magistrate heard the case, either party can object to the magistrate’s decision and ask the judge to review the case. If a judge heard the case (or issued a decision based on a party’s objections to the magistrate’s decision), either party can appeal that decision.

Study: Visual impairment, blindness cases expected to double by 2050

W

FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH ith the youngest of the baby boomers hitting 65 by 2029, the number of people with visual impairment or blindness in the United States is expected to double to more than 8 million by 2050, according to projections based on the most recent census data and from studies funded by the National Eye Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health. Another 16.4 million Americans are expected to have difficulty seeing due to correctable refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness) that can be fixed with glasses, contacts or surgery. The researchers were led by Rohit Varma, M.D., director of the University of Southern California’s Roski Eye Institute, Los Angeles, and published their analysis May 19 in JAMA Ophthalmology. They estimate that 1 million Americans were legally blind (20/200 vision or worse) in 2015. Having 20/200 vision means that for clear vision, you would have to be 20 feet or closer to an object that a person with normal vision could see from 200 feet away. Meanwhile, 3.2 million Americans had visual

impairment in 2015 -- meaning they had 20/40 or worse vision with best possible correction. Another 8.2 million had vision problems due to uncorrected refractive error. “These findings are an important forewarning of the magnitude of vision loss to come. They suggest that there is a huge opportunity for screening efforts to identify people with correctable vision problems and early signs of eye diseases. Early detection and intervention – possibly as simple as prescribing corrective lenses – could go a long way toward preventing a significant proportion of avoidable vision loss,” said NEI Director Paul A. Sieving, M.D., Ph.D. Over the next 35 years, Varma and his colleagues project that the number of people with legal blindness will increase by 21 percent each decade to 2 million by 2050. Likewise, best-corrected visual impairment will grow by 25 percent each decade, doubling to 6.95 million. The greatest burden of visual impairment and blindness will affect those 80 years or older as advanced age is a key risk factor for diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and cataract.

The researchers analyzed data on visual impairment and blindness from six large studies: the Beaver Dam Eye Study (Beaver Dam, Wisc.), Baltimore Eye Survey and Salisbury Eye Evaluation Study (Maryland), the Chinese American Eye Study (Monterey Park, Calif.), Los Angeles Latino Eye Study, and Proyecto VER (Nogales and Tucson, Ariz). They used the 2014 census and population growth projections to estimate the nationwide prevalence of vision impairment and blindness now and in 2050. In terms of absolute numbers, non-Hispanic whites, particularly white women, represent the largest proportion of people affected by visual impairment and blindness, and their numbers will nearly double. By 2050, 2.15 million nonHispanic white women are expected to be visually impaired and 610,000 will be blind. “Based on these data, there is a need for increased screening and interventions across all population, and especially among non-Hispanic white women,” Varma said. African Americans currently account for the second highest proportion of visual impairment,

NON-HISPANIC WHITES, PARTICULARLY WHITE WOMEN, REPRESENT THE LARGEST PROPORTION OF PEOPLE AFFECTED BY VISUAL IMPAIRMENT AND BLINDNESS, AND THEIR NUMBERS WILL NEARLY DOUBLE. but that is expected to shift to Hispanics around 2040, as the Hispanic population – and particularly the number of older Hispanics – continues to grow. Hispanics have particularly high rates of diabetes, which is associated with diabetic eye disease, a treatable cause of visual impairment. African Americans, meanwhile, are expected to continue to account for the second highest proportion of blindness. “African Americans are at disproportionately high risk for developing glaucoma, a potentially blinding eye disease that typically causes the loss of peripheral, but not central vision, so people tend to not realize that they are losing their vision and do not seek treatment,” he said.

Riding a bicycle in Ohio – know your legal rights, responsibilites Ohio law requires cyclists to follow the ‘rules of the road’ when riding a bicycle on a roadway. Cyclists must ride with traffic, obey basic traffic laws, stop at stop signs and red lights, and follow all traffic control devices.

I often see people riding bicycles on the road. Is that really legal? Yes. Ohio’s Traffic Code defines bicycles as “vehicles,” which may be lawfully operated on virtually all Ohio roads except freeways or certain limited access roadways.

Do any special rules apply to cyclists on the road? The key “bike law” in Ohio states that a bicycle must be operated “as near to the right side of the roadway as practicable…” The law further states that a cyclist does not have to ride along the right side of the lane when it is “unreasonable or unsafe to do so,” such as when it is necessary to avoid: ■ fixed objects or parked cars; ■ surface hazards; or ■ moving vehicles; and ■ if the lane is “…too narrow for the bicycle and an overtaking vehicle to travel safely side by side within the lane.” Cyclists are also permitted to ride “two abreast” in the same lane. Ohio law does not require cyclists to move out of the way of faster traffic.

What rules apply to operating a bicycle on the road? Ohio law requires cyclists to follow the “rules of the road” when riding a bicycle on a roadway. Cyclists must ride with traffic, obey basic traffic laws, stop at stop signs and red lights, and follow all traffic control devices. When following the rules of the road, a cyclist has exactly the same “right of way” as any car, truck or bus driver.

Are there any equipment requirements for bicycles being operated on the roadway? Yes. Cyclists must use a white light in the front and both a red reflector and a red light in the rear between sunset and sunrise or whenever the weather makes lights necessary. This is important, since many serious or fatal crashes occur at night or when weather causes poor visibility. When I’m driving a car, can I cross a double-yellow line to pass a cyclist? The traffic law allows you to cross a double yellow line to pass ANY slower vehicle, but only if:

12 METROMONTHLY.NET | JULY 2016

■ The slower vehicle is traveling at less than the posted speed limit; ■ The faster vehicle is capable of passing the slower vehicle without exceeding the posted speed limit; ■ There is sufficient sight distance ahead to permit the passing maneuver to be safely accomplished, taking into account the speed of the slower vehicle. This is not specifically a “bicycle” law, but rather a law that covers passing vehicles such as slower moving tractors and Amish buggies.

Must cyclists use bike lanes? Surprisingly, no. “Bike lanes” are typically created by local governments and are not governed specifically by

state law. State law mandates only that cities may not force cyclists to use sidewalks or “sidepaths” (bike trails that are not part of the roadway). Regular road cyclists often find that bike lanes contain litter, gravel, dangerous sewers, glass and debris. Poorly planned bike lanes can also present dangers. Can my child ride a bicycle in the street? Yes. Ohio law does not include an age limit or age requirement for riding bicycles on a roadway. However, riders of all ages must follow the rules of the road. Parents should evaluate their children’s riding abilities and educate them about the rules of the road. Make sure your child can ride safely and predictably. Can I ride my bicycle on the sidewalk? It depends. Ohio law does not prohibit sidewalk cycling. In fact, state law prohibits municipalities from imposing

“bike bans” that force cyclists to use sidewalks instead of roads. Otherwise, Ohio law leaves it to municipalities to decide where cyclists can ride. Many cities do not permit sidewalk cycling, but some cities modify this rule by banning sidewalk riders over a specific age or by banning sidewalk riding in defined “business districts.” Check your local city ordinances to see if and where sidewalk riding is allowed. If I am injured by a negligent motorist while riding my bicycle on the roadway, what insurance coverage applies? Typically, the motorist’s auto policy applies to pay your claim. However, cyclists are surprised to learn that their own auto insurance may come into play as well as their own homeowner’s insurance, health insurance and any “umbrella” or excess coverage they may have. Be sure to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer to before moving forward with any such claim.

For information, contact the Library at 330-740-6086.

School food service staff to take culinary classes

■ School may be out for the summer, but dozens of food service workers in the valley will be heading to class to get ready for next year. Austintown and Boardman Local Schools will host a Culinary Lab for food service employees from at least 10 school districts in the tri-county area. A professional chef will teach three culinary sessions. The classes were made possible through a grant from the Ohio Department of Education. The purpose of the lab is to teach cafeteria staff plating skills, knife skills, and food prep. In addition, staff will learn how to season food without adding more calories, sodium, or fat. The first two sessions will be held in Austintown at the Intermediate building July 19-20 with an additional class July 21-22. A third class will occur at Boardman High School July 26-27. Participating school districts include Boardman, Austintown, Springfield, Sebring, Youngstown City, Poland, Canfield, Warren, Youngstown Community School, Fairhaven, Struthers, and Niles.

music at the age of nine. He started playing tenor sax in high school, and then migrated to soprano sax. He was intrigued by the styles of jazz musicians like Stanley Turrentine, Sidney Bichet, Johnny Hodges, John Coltrane, Sonny Stitt, and others. Meadows attended Berklee College of Music where he majored in arranging and composition. He later went to the SUNY Purchase School for the Arts. Meadows’ career began in the late 80s at New York’s Grand Central Station, where while waiting for a train, he pulled out his horn and began to play. His sound caught the attention of producer and television composer Jay Chattaway who introduced Meadows to legendary keyboardist Bob James. Meadows went on to record or perform over the years with Brook Benton, Eartha Kitt, Phyllis Hyman, Jean Carne, MEADOWS among others. In 1990 he submitted a solo project to Novus/RCA, thus marking the beginning of a solo career. His first release, “For Lovers Only,” was a success and he followed it with “Keep It Right There.” He became a staple of the contemporary jazz format with his subsequent 11 recordings. ■ 2DE Gospel Festival 2K16 – The 2nd annual 2DE Gospel Festival 2K16 will be headlined by gospel music icon Fred Hammond on Sunday, July 10 in downtown Youngstown.
