ast June we assembled a playlist of iconic summertime movies on our website. Transitional moments factored into many movie plots: high-school graduations, summer romance and teenage rites of passage. Summer is a collection of moments. The season progresses from the solstice to Fourth of July to the first appearance of sweet corn. Summer is fleeting and precious. But before we start ticking off the days until school, let’s try to enjoy the season. Our Enjoy Summer issue again compiles the best of what summer has to offer locally. You’ll find activities for children and families. Church festivals. Art classes. Summer recipes. Hikes, sporting events and free concerts in the park. We updated our guide to local farmers markets for 2018. We hope you have chance to do some of the things happening in our community. Enjoy summer. Be safe and see you soon. Ð Mark C.

he Summer Festival of the Arts moves into its twentieth year this July. The annual festival will occur from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 7 and 11a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 8. Located throughout the Youngstown State University campus, the festival celebrates numerous cultures through art, dance and music. An opening ceremony will occur at the Youngstown Historical Center of Industry and Labor where there will be a rededication of the Sen. Harry Meshel Classroom. Lori Factor, director of Community Engagement & Events, said most of the events will happen within the core of campus, but there also will be children’s activities at Oh Wow! and the Arms Family Museum of Local History on Wick Avenue. Factor said while the original mission of providing a free venue to experience the fine and performing arts is still the same, the festival has adapted and grown since its early years. “We have broadened the number of nonprofit art and civic groups who take up residence to showcase what they do. We have tripled the number of artists since the early years and our list of performers has expanded to include old favorites as well as up and coming groups,” Factor said. County Mayo, a local Irish folk group, has played at the festival nearly every year since the its founding. Band member Bill Lewis said the band’s connections to YSU keep them coming back. Two of the band members are YSU alumni and Lewis is an on-again, off-again part-time professor. Lewis said that each year the event becomes even more organized. “They’ve figured out the logistics of where to put vendors and performers,” he said. “The festival has definitely gotten better through the years.” Factor said there were roughly 13,000 people at last year’s event. In recent years, the festival has numbered about 80 artists. This year, there’s expected to be over 80 artists and performers combined. Some of the musical talent includes County Mayo, Youngstown native musician JD Eicher and artists Wendy Daughtery and Brad and Linda Coulson.

YSU’s Summer Festival of the Arts moves into its twentieth year this July. The annual festival will occur from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 7 and 11a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday,
The festival also includes a juried art show. The juried work includes jewelry, paintings, sculpture, embroidery, photography, and 3D mixed-media. Though the festival has grown, Jambar articles from the late 1990s and early 2000s show even the earliest festivals contained an artists’ market, craft stations for children, and music, theater and dance. The first two years also included YSU alumni Joe Sullivan, more famously known as Jocko the Clown. The idea for the Summer Festival of the Arts came from former YSU President Leslie Cochran and his wife, Lin. In a 1999 Jambar article, festival coordinator Sandra Ciminero noted that Cochran wanted the festival to be similar to the Ann Arbor Art Fairs, which is one of the largest ongoing art festivals in the nation. A reason for the continued growth of the YSU festival may be the willingness for artists and performers to be involved. “It is not difficult to find artists at all; they come to us,” Factor said. “About half of our artists are from many different states. Word of mouth in the arts festival community moves quickly when there is a good show.” The mixture of participants, volunteers and the willingness of YSU create a recipe that keeps the festival going and growing stronger and are all factors for which Factor is grateful.
“That we’ve been able to stay fresh and current while continuing to bring something like this to the community is really a testament to those who patronize the event, and the dedication of Youngstown State University which continues to support it.” – Lori Factor, festival organizer
ummer is here and the urge to be outdoors is stronger than ever but don’t let the love of outdoors come with a price. According to the Ohio Department of Health, there were 270 human cases of Lyme disease in 2017. A year prior they reported 160 human cases. The number could potentially be even higher this year. “Unlike fleas, ticks can survive harsh winters in their dormant state,” said Brittany Bockanic, a veterinarian at Crago Veterinary Clinic. “Since there are more ticks, specifically deer ticks, likelihood of infection with Lyme disease is much higher as well.” The month with the most reported cases in Ohio is August and the Ohio counties with the most reported cases include Carroll, Coshocton, Harrison and Jefferson. The disease is carried by ticks and can be contracted by humans and animals through a tick’s bite. Matthew Lehnert is an entomologist at Kent State University’s Stark campus. He said there are currently over 900 species of ticks worldwide and most of these species fall into two groups: hard ticks, or Ixodidae, and soft ticks, or Argasidae. Lehnert said hard ticks are what Ohioans are most familiar with. Types of hard ticks include American dog tick, blacklegged tick and Lone Star tick. The Ohio Department of Health describes these vector ticks or ticks that transmit the disease as the blacklegged tick or deer tick. The younger, smaller blacklegged ticks are most likely to give the disease to humans because they often go unnoticed. If a tick happens to latch on to a person or pet, the Centers for Disease Control reports the tick must remain attached for 36 or more hours for the disease to be transmitted. If the disease is successfully transmitted, there are symptoms that appear. The Cleveland Clinic news service described some of the symptoms such as a low-grade fever, fatigue and a red rash that looks like a bull’s-eye.
“Good events are hard to sustain because the economy can wreak havoc and people become interested in other activities,” she said. “That we’ve been able to stay fresh and current while continuing to bring something like this to the community is really a testament to those who patronize the event, and the dedication of Youngstown State University which continues to support it.” Factor said free parking will be available at any YSU deck or parking lot. Just outside of campus, the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church Summerfest will be held Thursday through Sunday, July 6-9, on Walnut Street and Youngstown Comic Con will be at the Covelli Centre July 7 and 8.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Meet our writers, interns for the summer of 2018 CHRIS McBRIDE I’m a journalist from Warren, Ohio. I started my journalism career while attending Youngstown State University. Beginning in 2017, I worked as a student sports reporter for The Jambar until 2018. As a journalist, I have acquired a wide range of journalistic skills, ranging from writing, editing, researching, interviewing and investigative work. In 2018, I graduated from YSU with a bachelor's degree in journalism with a minor in Creative Writing. While attending YSU, I was given the opportunity to serve as a President Mentor to YSU President Jim Tressel. As a mentor, I served alongside a committee of other students in advising the president on a number of campus-related issues. I reside in Youngstown, where I am hoping to continue to put my journalist abilities to use. In the future, I hope to settle into a job with a local news organization before making my next big career move. I have hopes in the future to put my Creative Writing to use one day by becoming a screenwriter.
TANNER MONDOK I’m currently a Youngstown State University student and I’ll be starting my senior year in the fall. I’m studying journalism as my major with a minor in photography. I’m employed at The Jambar, YSU’s student newspaper, as the photo editor. I graduated from Champion High School in 2015 which is where I picked up photography as a hobby. It wasn’t until I got to college when I started to pursue more professional forms of photography. Other than my work as the photo editor at The Jambar, I also shoot weddings and sporting events for MJO Photography. When I graduate from YSU in May of 2019, my goal is to pursue a career as a professional photojournalist. Another career path I could see myself pursuing is working as a reporter covering technology and video games.
JOHN STRAN I’m Youngstown born and raised and am currently attending Youngstown State University. I will be graduating next spring with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a minor in sociology. Beyond interning for Metro Monthly, I’m a reporter for The Jambar, YSU’s student run newspaper, and am a member of the Society for Collegiate Journalists and Press Club. I plan to expand my college career by going for a master’s degree in journalism, more specifically magazine writing. I enjoy the more long-form, in-depth approach to journalism but do not have a preferred topic of choice. I’ll write about anything!

Passports for the trail will be available at each of the six participating wineries: Mastropietro Winery and Myrddin Winery in Berlin Center, The Vineyards at Pine Lake in Columbiana, Diletto Winery in Canfield, and Halliday’s Winery and Lil Paws Winery in Lake Milton. With passport in hand, participants purchase a glass of wine, get their passport stamped and receive a custom wine charm exclusive to each winery.

For pets, symptoms may take up to a week to appear. Bockanic said when the symptoms do appear, the joints and kidneys of the pet are most affected. “Some dogs get pain in their joints and are reluctant to move,” Bockanic said. “There is a form that can affect the kidneys causing increased thirst and urination, protein in the urine and loss of appetite.” Along with Lyme disease, Bockanic said ticks can also carry diseases Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis. Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis have similar symptoms as Lyme disease and are very curable but can be fatal if left untreated. The similar symptoms of these diseases can make it hard for a person to deter-
mine what they’ve contracted. Dr. Michael Paronish, a family-medicine specialist at Mercy Health, said this is why it’s important to seek a doctor’s advice. “Symptoms are vague and may overlap with many other types of illnesses,” Paronish said. “It is strongly recommended to discuss these symptoms with a trained professional to help determine the exact cause.” Paronish broke down avoiding Lyme disease into three parts: first is avoiding highrisk areas, second is removal, and third is using antibiotic protection. Lehnert suggested when trying to avoid ticks while outdoors, be wary or stay away from wooded areas, unmowed regions
with tall grass and forest edges. These are areas where ticks are most prevalent. These would be considered high-risk areas. “When traveling in high-risk areas and enjoying the great outdoors, perform regular tick checks to remove unwanted hitchhikers before they become attached,” Paronish said. “Ensure that a full body tick check occurs at least daily, thus nearly eliminating your risk.” The antibiotic prevention step is for those who believe they’ve had a tick attached to them for more than 36 hours and if this tick was an adult or nymph deer tick. Cleveland Clinic Infectious Disease Specialist Alan Taege proposed a few ways to

anfield native, author and former boxer Craig Snyder continues to promote his new book, “The Boxers of Youngstown, Ohio: Boxing Capital of the World,” with a series of local engagements this summer. Since its February release, Snyder has been hitting the press circuit. Last month, Barnes and Nobles hosted Snyder, who was joined by several boxing legends profiled in the book. Around 100 friends and fans crowded the venue with proceeds benefiting the Boys and Girls Club of Youngstown. According to Snyder, the storied history of Youngstown boxing traces back to 1891 with fighter Mike Farragher. When boxing became legal in Youngstown in the 1920s, the number of local fighters greatly increased. In total, Snyder cited 1,600 boxers from the Mahoning Valley. His book details their careers, titles and achievements. Hungarian immigrant Dick Evans became the first local fighter to claim a world championship after the sport was legalized in Youngstown. His background was similar to many of those Snyder profiled. “We’re all raised by immigrants and second or third generations. Guys who’ve worked nine-to-five labor-type jobs in the

mills. Being boxers, we were trying to make a better living.” The author, who also boxed professionally from 1985-1998, earned a regional IBC Junior Middleweight title in 1994. “I trained myself to death,” said Snyder, who was also working 10-hour days in advertising. “Afterwards, I’d train two or three hours at one gym and kill myself training two or three more hours at another.” “After a boxing career spanning 20 years, Snyder took up an interest in the local history of the sport. Beginning in 2004, he started compiling boxing lore. Snyder said he rifled through the archives
at the Youngstown Public Library, thumbing through articles filled with pictures, news clippings and other vital pieces of information. “I spent four or five hours of my days researching. Once I started reading about what these boxers had done, it made me feel obligated,” he said. Paired with articles from his father-in-law who is also an author, Snyder accumulated around 187,000 words in just two years. Snyder began writing the book in 2013 when he was originally compiling data for a book on a history of Youngstown. Snyder ultimately took his boxing history manuscript to Page Publishing, which published the book earlier this year. Upcoming appearances: 6 p.m., Saturday, June 30, Ukrainian Orthodox Center, 1025 N. Belle Vista Ave., Youngstown (amateur boxing show); 9 a.m., Saturday, July 7, Mill Creek Golf Course, Boardman (Till Open Golf Outing); noon, Thursday, July 19, Tyler History Center, 325 W.

Lyme disease is still avoidable if the tick is removed within 36 to 48 hours. Seeking medical attention is one way to get the tick removed but if medical help is not available in a person’s circumstance, the removal can be done at home. avoid contact with ticks in an online article released by Cleveland Clinic Newsroom. The most important, Taege said, was applying bug spray. Taege also mentioned wearing long sleeves and pants and even tucking the bottom of pants into shoes. This is Taege’s advice no matter where a person is outdoors; camping, hiking or just in the backyard. Unfortunately, the deer tick does not have a tell. Lehnert said there are no real signs that a tick is carrying Lyme disease prior to being bit. “If someone is concerned that a tick is carrying Lyme disease the best thing to do is to first identify the tick,” Lehnert said. “Lyme disease is rare, so if a person finds a tick feeding on them, or a parent finds one on their child, it is best to not panic.” To determine tick type, Lehnert said look for a presence or absence of patterns on the tick’s backside. The deer tick is most likely to transmit Lyme disease in the nymph stage. In this stage, the tick has eight legs, brown or black in color and is as small as the size of a pin-head. Lyme disease is still avoidable if the tick is removed within 36 to 48 hours. Seeking medical attention is one way to get the tick removed but if medical help is not available in a person’s circumstance, the removal can be done at home. “The proper way is to grasp with fine tweezers or gloved fingers as close to the mouthparts as possible and apply steady pressure straight upwards until the tick releases,” Paronish said. “Do not burn, irritate or cut the tick or skin.” Lyme disease should be treated seriously but a chart of human cases of Lyme disease since 2008 from the Ohio Department of Health has recorded zero deaths from the disease. “Lyme disease is rare and is treatable,” Lehnert said. “In order for the bacterium to be transmitted from the tick to the host, the tick has to usually feed for at least 24 hours and usually ticks are detected and removed before transmission occurs.” For further information about ticks, Lyme disease and preventative tips, visit odh.ohio. gov/Lyme, cdc.gov or tickencounter.org.

early 5 million people are treated for skin cancer each year in the United States. Skin cancer can be serious, expensive, and sometimes even deadly. Fortunately, most skin cancers can be prevented. Ultraviolet (UV) rays—from the sun or from artificial sources like tanning beds—are known to cause skin cancer. Damage from exposure to UV rays builds up over time, so sun protection should start at an early age.

ycling can be great for fun or exercise. Whether for recreation or fitness, summer is a great time to get involved. Valley bicycle shops offer a wide range of equipment – nearly something for everyone. Whether for fitness or recreation, there are many types of bicycles available. For those who don’t own a bike, or just want to try out cycling, bikes are available to rent at Trailside Bicycle Company to use on the Mill Creek MetroParks Bikeway. Co-owner Curtis Masters said that Trailside offer bikes that are specifically made for comfort while out on the trail. Masters said that the bikes are easy to adjust to fit all sizes. They even offer tandem bikes, child carriers and adult tricycles. Bikes can be rented for $9 an hour or $25 for the day. Michael Billock, an employee at Frankford Bicycle in Girard, said that for recreational riding, people buy hybrids or fitness bikes. Such bikes can range in price from $350 to $1,000. For fitness riders or people who are looking for a fast bike, Billock said that customers buy road bikes or gravel bikes which could cost anywhere from $600 to $1,000. “Gravel bikes are a new category that we have and are doing really well with. It’s a combination of a road bike and a mountain bike. So it’s kind of a go anywhere and do anything,” he said. Augie Thumm, owner of Thumm’s Family-Owned Bike and Clock Shop in Warren, said that hybrids are currently a favorite with customers. “Hybrid bikes have really been the most popular based on my demographics of customers. With all the bike paths, it’s the type of bike that puts one in the most comfortable ride posture,” Thumm said. He added that most area people are riding for recreation.

Augie Thumm, owner of Thumm’s Family-Owned Bike and Clock Shop in Warren, said most area people ride for recreation.
From bike shops, to trails, to cycling-focused events, summer is a great time to hop on a bike with friends and family. “Ninety nine percent of the people that come in here have either young families where they want a nice comfortable bike to ride with their family on the greenway or in their neighborhood,” he said. “Or couples that want to come in and do something together where they can get a bike that fits them perfectly and a bike that they know they can get fixed and something that’s in a category that’s going to make it a useful machine to them.” When purchasing a bike, Thumm said to avoid discount-chain stores. “So many people make the terrible mistake of going to a mass merchant and buying something that I refer to as a bicycle-like object,” he said. “Because basically that’s what they sell. They’re not selling bikes that come in a choice of frames size.”
Thumm said this is important because at bike shops, you can purchase bicycles based on your own particular needs or what would be right for your body. ***
■ Protect your family and yourself from skin cancer. Stay sun-safe outdoors and discourage indoor and outdoor tanning. ■ Seek shade, especially during midday hours. This includes 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., March through October. Umbrellas, trees, or other shelters can provide relief from the sun. ■ Be extra careful around surfaces that reflect the sun’s rays, like sand, water, and concrete. ■ Wear sun-protection gear like a hat with a wide brim and sunglasses to protect your face and eyes. ■ Sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce the risk of cataracts and other eye problems. Wrap-around sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays offer the best protection by blocking UV rays from the side. ■ Wear a long-sleeved shirt and pants or a long skirt for additional protection. If that’s not practical, try wearing a T-shirt or a beach cover-up. ■ Apply a thick layer of broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher at least 15 minutes before going outside, even on cloudy or overcast days. Reapply sunscreen at least every 2 hours and after swimming, sweating, or toweling off.

BICYCLES & SAFETY
‘Bike Lawyer’ explains law regarding cycling in Ohio city ordinances to see if and where sidewalk riding is allowed. (Here are a few: Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton.) Cyclists are also not required to use bike lanes. These 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 may find that bike lanes contain dangerous debris and they may use these lanes at their discretion.
FROM THE OHIO BAR ASSOCIATION
W
hether you’re a veteran of twowheeled transport, a recreational rider or a motorist, it is important to know the rules of the road when it comes to bikes.
■ The law and bicycles
Bicycles are defined as “vehicles” under Ohio Law. State law allows bicycles be lawfully operated on virtually all Ohio roads except freeways or certain limited-access roadways. Therefore, cyclists who ride their bikes on roadways are in line with Ohio law. “Same rights, same roads, same rules” is the mantra cyclists follow. Like all states, Ohio law requires cyclists to follow the basic rules of the road when riding a bicycle on a roadway. Like any vehicle operator, a bicyclist 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. Ohio does have a few bike-specific laws. The key “bike law” in Ohio states that a bicycle must be operated “as near to the right side of the roadway as practicable.” While the word “practicable” is undefined, the law 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.” Some examples of when a cyclist may use the entire lane include when it is necessary to avoid fixed objects or parked cars, surface hazards, or moving vehicles. A big exception to the ride-to-the-right rule is if the lane is “. . . too narrow for the bicycle and an overtaking vehicle to travel safely side by side within the lane.” In such a situation, the cyclist is not required to stay to the right. Cyclists are also permitted to ride “two abreast,” meaning side-by-side, in the same lane. Ohio law does not require cyclists to move out of the way of faster traffic. Like all vehicle owners, cyclists must abide by certain equipment requirements when riding on the roadway. They must use a white light on the front of

the bike 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. Some cities may have other equipment requirements written into their municipal codes. Dayton, for instance, requires all cyclists to wear helmets and to equip their bike with a bell that is audible for up to 100 feet.
Like any vehicle operator, a bicyclist must ride with traffic, obey basic traffic laws, stop at stop signs and red lights, and follow all traffic control devices.
■ Vehicles and bicycles
■ Other bike law information
Traffic law allows motorists to cross a double yellow line to pass any slower vehicle, but only if 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; and 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. However, it does apply to bicycles. If a motorist can follow the listed rules to pass a cyclist while crossing a double yellow

cated at Kirk Road, Mahoning Avenue and at the MetroParks Farm. The MetroParks Bikeway is also a part of the Great Ohio Lake-to-River Greenway which will be completed in 2020. There is currently 75 miles of trail completed. When finished, it will be 110 miles and connect Lake Erie to the Ohio River. Trailheads can be accessed in various locations across Mahoning and Trumbull Counties and other areas in Northeast Ohio.
line, they are free to do so. Ohio law does not include an age limit or age requirement for riding bicycles on a roadway, so children can technically ride bikes in the street. However, riders of all ages must follow the rules of the road. Parents should evaluate children’s riding abilities, educate them about cycling rules and make sure the child can ride safely and predictably. Under state law, “bike bans” that force cyclists to use sidewalks instead of roads are prohibited everywhere in Ohio. In fact, many cities, especially Ohio’s larger cities, do not permit sidewalk cycling at all. But local laws vary widely. Some cities impose age limits or only ban sidewalk riding in defined “business districts.” Check your local
Besides trails, there are other ways to get involved locally with cycling in events that focus on the activity. To find cycling events or even clubs to join, Billock recommends a mobile application called Strava. “It’s kinda like Facebook for cycling. You ride and you get kudos and thumbs up and people comment on your ride and your map and how many feet you climbed and how fast you went and all that,” he said. Billock said that Frankford Bicycle offers group rides on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Cyclists who are injured by negligent motorists often wonder what type of insurance applies to their claims. If a motorist carelessly injures a cyclist, the motorist’s auto policy would apply to pay the claim. However, some cyclists are often 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. Before moving forward with any such claim, it is important to consult with an attorney who can help a client go over insurance claims, equipment damages and deal with the motorist’s lawyer and insurance representatives. About Steve Magas – Attorney Steve Magas is an avid bicyclist, motorcyclist and Ohio trial attorney based in Cincinnati. Known as “Ohio’s Bike Lawyer,” Magas has been an Ohio trial lawyer since 1982 and has been writing about Ohio’s bike laws since the mid-1980s. He collaborates regularly with the League of American Bicyclists, the Ohio Bicycle Federation and the Cincinnati Cycle Club. In 2009, he founded the Magas Firm.
The rides usually follow the same path and is about 40 miles long. A calendar featuring bicycle events going on in Ohio as well as an Ohio bike trail map can be found in bike shops such as Frankford Bicycle. There’s something for everyone in the biking scene in the area, an area that has a cycling culture that Billock describes as very strong. From bike shops, to trails, to cyclingfocused events, summer is a great time to hop on a bike with friends and family. MetroMonthly.net / June/July 2018 13
