11 Remembering the Pyatt Street Market The South Side of Youngstown roared along with the exuberant decade of the 1920s. As thousands of people moved into that rapidly growing part of the city, one of Mahoning Valley’s most enduring icons was born: the Pyatt Street Market. Every year shoppers descended on the farmer’s market to inspect the colorful stalls, piled high with seemingly endless rows of fruits and vegetables. Generations of Youngstowners grew up with parents who brought them to a bustling venue that had been transformed from a city dump to one of the busiest farmers’ markets in Northeast Ohio.

We’ve covered the Dana School of Music’s 150th anniversary, community development, local connections to the “Green Book,” and the Vindicator shutdown. Our most-recent effort, “Chris Yambar: Monsters, Rock Stars & Bart Simpson” was released last week. Yambar talked about his multidecade art career and upcoming show at the Soap Gallery.

Ohio: Minimum wage set to increase on Jan. 1
$7-million senior complex to open on North Side
O
hio’s minimum wage is scheduled to increase on Jan. 1, 2020, to $8.70 per hour for non-tipped employees and $4.35 per hour for tipped employees. The minimum wage will apply to employees of businesses with annual gross receipts of more than $319,000 per year. The current 2019 Ohio minimum wage is $8.55 per hour for non-tipped employees and $4.30 for tipped employees. The 2019 Ohio minimum wage applies to employees of businesses with annual gross receipts of more than $314,000 per year. The Constitutional Amendment (II-34a) passed by Ohio voters in November 2006 states that Ohio’s minimum wage shall increase on Jan. 1 of each year by the rate of inflation. The state minimum wage is tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI-W) for urban wage earners and clerical workers for the 12-month period prior to September. This CPI-W index increased by 1.5 percent over the 12-month period from Sept. 1, 2018, to Aug. 31, 2019. The Constitutional Amendment is available online. For employees at smaller companies with annual gross receipts of $319,000 or less per year after Jan. 1, 2020, and for 14 and 15year-olds, the state minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. For these employees, the state wage is tied to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, which requires an act of Congress and the President’s signature to change. Employers can access the 2020 Minimum Wage poster for display in their places of business from the Department’s website.

National Church Residences will host a ribbon cutting for its new $7 million affordable senior housing community at 11 a.m., on Wednesday, Oct. 2. The three-story structure, located at 353 Broadway Ave. in Youngstown, has 57 onebedroom and three two-bedroom apartments. It will serve seniors 55 and older. Broadway Park includes many features for seniors, including: a community room for hosting resident events, a wellness center, fitness room, a business center with computers, community garden and park, an outdoor patio off the back of the community room, free campus Wi-Fi, and a partnership with Ohio Living Park Vista for services including the Mahoning Valley Learning Institute, health education and wellness programs. “This project was made possible by a shared vision with Ohio Living,” said Amy Rosenthal, director of affordable housing development at National Church Residences. “Ohio Living brought us the land redevelopment opportunity and provided introductions to the city leaders and area stakeholders, all of which were instrumental in moving this project forward.” In addition, the AARP Foundation is working with National Church Residences to launch a campus-wide, voice-activated technology pilot program which will leverage the free campus Wi-Fi amenity provided. The service utilizes a small table-top speaker called the Dot, which grants the user hands-free, voice-activated contact through Alexa, an intelligent personal assistant developed by Amazon. The Dots will be distributed to residents on Oct. 3, and training will follow. The Innovation Team at National Church Residences will monitor and evaluate how the service is used and identify ways to drive resident engagement before expanding it to other campuses. Broadway Park is a key component of the Youngstown 2010 Comprehensive Plan and the Arlington Heights Acquisition Strategy revitalization plan. The project redevelops vacant and underused land into new affordable housing units for Youngstown’s growing senior population. Nathaniel Pinkard, Youngstown City Council, and Sharon Woodberry, director of development for the City of Youngstown, were important contributors to the success of this project and both will participate in the celebration ceremony.

he South Side of Youngstown roared along with the exuberant decade of the 1920s. As thousands of people moved into that rapidly growing part of the city, one of Mahoning Valley’s most enduring icons was born: the Pyatt Street Market. Every year shoppers descended on the farmer’s market to inspect the colorful stalls, piled high with seemingly endless rows of fruits and vegetables. Generations of Youngstowners grew up with parents who brought them to a bustling venue that had been transformed from a city dump to one of the busiest farmers’ markets in Northeast Ohio. The marker first opened around 1924 and initially operated year-round on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from 1 to 10 p.m. It was centered at 66 Pyatt St. The stalls and vendors extended passed Lois Court to Erie Street and up Pyatt to Wayne Avenue. “In the summertime the Pyatt Street Market used to be so packed,” Joseph Rohovsky told YSU’s oral-history program in 1982. “And the traffic was so great you couldn’t even walk on the street.” Along with other young children, Rohovsky earned pocket money by shelling peas and lima beans for vendors during the early 1940s. At the time, as many as 2,000 shoppers a day came through the market. In those days, neighborhood grocers dominated much of the grocery business in the city. Lacking the proper refrigeration to keep produce consistently fresh, owners regularly visited the market for fruits and vegetables. Married women made up the other largest group of shoppers, according to a Vindicator report from the time. Farmers from a 50-mile radius routinely came to sell their wares. The market consisted of both an open-air section and a covered section where meats (including live chickens) and cheeses were sold. Shoemakers and vendors selling peanuts, popcorn and doughnuts all did business at Pyatt. Even an organ grinder and monkey often arrived to entertain shoppers. Business usually peaked in September and October when many women bought winter supplies for canning, according to Rohovsky. “The crowds are ‘home-grown,’ too,” said Betty Lovell of the Junior League in 1955. “And every type is represented, from the elegant lady sporting slacks and a long cigarette

holder, who sweeps up in her convertible, to the plainly-dressed, hard-working woman who walks over with her basket.” The rise of supermarkets during the ‘50s and ‘60s began to hurt business at the Pyatt. According to “Mahoning Memories: A History of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley,” Seventy percent of Youngstown’s neighborhood grocery stores closed between the end of World War II and 1970. Many farmers left the business altogether. “General Motors came, and a lot of the farmers’ children ended up working there,” Bill Umbel recalled. “They could make more money than they could breaking their backs on a farm.” Umbel and Youngstown Food Distributors took control of the market in the early 1980s. Average daily attendance had de-
clined to an average of 400 to 500 people a day, Umbel told the Vindicator in 1981. In the mid-‘80s, Umbel and his wife, Janet, bought an old diner next to the market and rechristened it the Pyatt Street Diner. “We started out with just four booths, 11 bar stools and a table in the corner,” Umbel said. However, it quickly became a success. The diner was known for selling pasta on Wednesday, beef on Thursday, fish on Friday and pork and lamb on Saturday. “We turned a diner with casual attire into a place with a white tablecloth menu,” Umbel explained. In 1989, Ohio Magazine gave the diner a star rating. “It was really nostalgic,” said Don Attenberger. “The kind of old-time diner you just don’t see today.” The Umbels also opened a jazz club
in the basement called “Down Under.” “Some of the biggest names in jazz and blues would come through,” Umbel said. “They’d give us a decent price because it was an off night for them.” Local acts like Big Boogie D and Youngstown native and world-class guitarist Phil Keaggy thrilled audiences as well. In 2000, the Umbels opened the Pyatt Street Diner II in Colony Square Plaza in Boardman. They wanted to provide a carryout option closer to the bulk of their clientele in the suburbs. Yet the old market on Pyatt Street continued to struggle as crime rose on the South Side and younger customers failed to carry on the tradition of visiting farmers’ markets. “If I were a queen, I’d wave my magic wand and revive Youngstown’s Pyatt Street Market,” Jane Tims wrote in a 1998 Vindicator column. But it was not to be. By 2004, both the market and the diner had closed. A 2012 fire destroyed much of the covered section of the abandoned market. However, there’s still one reason to visit Pyatt Street today. Pam and Ken Krantz have been coming there now for almost 40 years. They still operate their food truck, Kenny K’s Concessions, under the old canopy on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from April to December. “We’ve seen four or five generations come through here,” Ken said. For a few dollars, you can buy a hot sausage sandwich and french fries and hear about the glory days of the old market. While you wait, you’re sure to see a diverse group of people pull up for the lunchtime rush. “They just come,” Ken explained. “Just drive up Market Street and look down and see if we’re here,” Pam said. After over 80 years, a small piece of Youngstown’s most treasured market still lives on.

But there are various legal and practical issues that will still need to be weighed and decided. Therefore, it is recommended that the employer engage an attorney with legal and drafting experience in this developing area of the law.
FROM THE OHIO BAR ASSOCIATION
O
hio’s legalized medical marijuana law became operational in Ohio in January 2019. What does this mean for Ohio’s employers, job applicants and employees? First, there is no Ohio law legalizing marijuana for recreational use. Rather, Ohio has only legalized the medical use of marijuana for a specified number of medical conditions. In addition, Ohio has established certain registration requirements for medical marijuana patients and caregivers. Finally, Ohio allows registered patients to use medical marijuana only in certain ways, and smoking a “joint” is not one of them.
■
What the law allows
Ohio’s medical marijuana law allows patients suffering from one or more of approximately 20 qualifying medical conditions (including HIV/AIDS, epilepsy, cancer, PTSD, etc.) to use medical marijuana. The law only allows medical marijuana to be dispensed to patients or caregivers who are properly registered with the State of Ohio and who possess an Ohio-issued patient or caregiver identification card. Ohio permits registered patients to use medical marijuana via oils, tinctures or extracts, plant material, edibles (food containing THC) and patches. Vaporization of medical marijuana also is permitted but smoking and other combustion of medical marijuana are not allowed. Any retailer who is dispensing medical marijuana must have obtained and paid for a license from the Ohio Board of Pharmacy. “All Ohioans who use medical marijuana have no protection against the consequences for violating federal criminal law, including possible fines and imprisonment.” ■
Marijuana and federal law
While Ohio and many other states have legalized the possession and use of marijuana for certain medical conditions, marijuana itself remains a “Schedule I” controlled substance under the federal Controlled Substance Act. It also remains illegal for physicians to “prescribe” marijuana. Thus, all Ohioans who use medical marijuana have no protection against the consequences for violating federal criminal law, including possible fines and imprisonment. But since the

Obama Administration, the federal government has purposely avoided enforcement of these types of “low level” violations as it has watched the legalized marijuana movement unfold at the state level. ■
Medical marijuana and the workplace
Under Ohio’s medical marijuana law, employers need not accommodate a job applicant’s or employee’s use, possession, distribution, being under the influence of or testing positive for medical marijuana. Ohio employers can discharge, discipline, refuse to hire and take any other adverse employment action against an applicant or employee because of the applicant’s or employee’s use, possession, distribution, being under the influence of or testing positive for medical marijuana. Therefore, for Ohio employers who maintain a zero-tolerance policy, medical marijuana users will be faced with a choice of not using medical
marijuana or working elsewhere. On the other hand, as Ohio employers begin to see more applicants and employees who are lawfully using medical marijuana, some employers may decide, as a practical business matter, to make an exception for specific off-the-job and off-premises use of medical marijuana. Ohio’s law gives employers that flexibility. This means that Ohio employers must decide whether to make an exception for medical marijuana use or not. For Ohio employers who wish to maintain a zero-tolerance policy, they should consider reviewing the company’s drug-free workplace policy. The policy should clearly state that marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law and that the employer prohibits its applicants and employees from using any form of marijuana for any purpose, including for medical use, even as allowed under Ohio or any state’s law.

Online communications bring new legal challenges H
ow have social media and electronic communication brought about new legal challenges? Online communication has become a hotbed for litigation, in part because people believe they can hide their identities behind a computer or smartphone screen. Many users are discovering, however, that their online fouls can cross over the line into actionable, illegal conduct. Social media has become a primary communication tool in our culture, and has resulted in new types of lawsuits. For example, employees have been terminated from employment for communications or disclosures made via social media, and individuals have been sued for defamatory statements they have made via social media. What kind of online statements can expose someone to liability? Social media is a fairly new communication tool, but the law regarding communication has not changed. The term Twibel, a combination of “Twitter” and “libel” has been adopted to describe this mix of social media communications and old law. Libel is defaming someone (publishing a false statement of fact that harms another’s reputation or business) through written or printed words, pictures, or any form other than the spoken word. Twibel is simply libel that is committed through a social media communication tool. In one Twibel suit, a real estate
BUTTONS, BADGES & BULLYING: WHAT’S ALLOWED AT WORK ? ■ My employer said a shirt I wore to work was offensive and that I wasn’t allowed to wear it anymore. Can my employer keep me from wearing my shirt? Generally, an employer can restrict employees from wearing clothing that is disruptive, discriminatory or offends customers. However, your employer must consistently apply business-related reasons for such decisions and must not restrict employees’ rights to communicate about matters of common concern in the workplace. ■ So, do I have the right to communicate my ideas about matters of common concern in the workplace?
Social media is a fairly new communication tool, but the law regarding communication has not changed. company brought a $50,000 suit against a tenant for tweeting this: “Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you? [The real estate company] thinks it’s okay.” The court dismissed the case, finding the tweet was “too vague to meet the legal standard for libel.” Others cases have been similarly unsuccessful. Twibel cases are reviewed just like old-fashioned print defamation cases, and courts still want to see proof of damage to reputation. If the plaintiff (the person bringing suit) cannot prove that his or her reputation was damaged, then the court usually will dismiss the case, unless the defamatory statement is a per se statement. A per se statement is a communication that is very obviously damaging. For example, if someone wrote that the plaintiff has a sexually transmitted disease, the court might decide that damages are inferred even if not proven. The outcome of a defamation case is also affected by whether or not the person claiming defamation is a public figure. Courts rarely decide that a public figure has been defamed because a public figure is considered a “fair target” for defamatory statements. To be awarded damages in a defamation case, a public figure must prove that a defamatory statement was not only damaging, but that it was made with malicious intent. This private vs. public distinction figured in the very first Twibel trial in 2014. The attorney for
The National Labor Relations Act, which generally governs relations between unions and employers, says that employees of private companies or other entities have the right to communicate with each other about the terms and conditions of their employment. The law describes such communications as “protected concerted activity”; “concerted” refers to employees communicating with each other about the workplace. (Government employees have similar rights because of their right to association under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.) Even if your communications do not involve the immediate presence of another employee, they are considered to be “concerted.” This means that the law can actually protect items of clothing that convey
deceased musician Kurt Cobain’s estate brought a defamation suit against Courtney Love, Cobain’s spouse. In that case, the judge determined that Cobain’s estate attorney was a public figure. The judge’s determination meant that the attorney had to prove Love’s defamatory statement was made “with actual malice, meaning that she intentionally made a false statement, knowing it was false, or that she acted without regard to its truth or falsity. The jury determined that Love had not made the statement “with actual malice,” but if she had made the same statement about a private figure, the jury may well have decided against Love. Can I be held liable for statements I make on anonymous review sites like Yelp and Angie’s List? Yes. Online communication suits also concern online reviews attached to products and services reviewed on the Internet through sites like Yelp, Citisearch, and Angie’s List. However, you would have to make a false statement of fact, not opinion. Defamation lawsuits must be about false statements of fact. In one of the first cases of this type (Dietz v. Perez), a Virginia contractor filed a $750,000 defamation lawsuit against a blogger. Through Angie’s List, the blogger had not only accused the contractor of poor work, but also of trespassing and stealing. The blogger filed a countersuit, also alleging defamation.
a message, even if you are not speaking or writing to other employees about the message on the shirt. ■ So, exactly what kinds of communications does this law protect? This right is not unlimited, however. For example, if the employer reasonably believes that the communication would harm the company’s relationship with its customers or its public image, then the employer may restrict employees’ communications. In one recent court decision, the court approved an employer’s decision not to allow workers who interacted with customers to wear shirts that suggested the workers were prisoners of the company. The court acknowledged that such shirts could hurt the company’s relationship with its customers. ■ Can a worker wear a
At trial, the jury decided that both sides had defamed each other, but neither was awarded damages. Eventually, the blogger took down the scathing review. In the court’s ruling, the judge wrote that it was not his job to rule on free speech, but that the blogger’s actions had endangered people’s ability to write freely in online reviews: “If you want to chill free speech, keep it up, because eventually one of these companies is going to win big That will chill free speech, when somebody is hit with a huge monetary verdict.” This “Law You Can Use” column was provided by the Ohio State Bar Association.

union button or shirt or while at work? Protected concerted activity generally would include expressing support for a union or communicating about matters relating to a union. ■ How do employees and employers know which communications are allowed and which are not? It is difficult to determine when an employer may reasonably restrict communications, and it can also be difficult for employees to know whether communication is about the terms and conditions of employment or simply an attack on the employer or another employee. For example, attacking a supervisor on Facebook probably would not be protected concerted activity if the communication does not relate to some aspect of the employment relationship. However, courts

If you are an employee, use common sense about what you are communicating and recognize that your right to communicate is not unlimited.

Twelve deaths have been confirmed in 10 states. The states and U.S. territory include: Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Wyoming, and U.S. Virgin Islands. These numbers may change frequently. ■ Twelve deaths have been confirmed in California (two), Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas (two), Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, and Oregon. ■ The latest findings from the investigation into lung injuries associated with e-cigarette use, or vaping, suggest products containing THC play a role in the outbreak. ■ Most of the patients reported using THC-containing products or both THCcontaining products and nicotine-containing products. Some of the patients reported using only nicotine-containing products. ■ All patients have a reported history of e-cigarette product use, or vaping, and no consistent evidence of an infectious cause has been discovered. Therefore, the suspected cause is a chemical exposure. ■ The specific chemical exposure(s) causing lung injuries associated with e-cigarette product use remains unknown at this time. ■ No single product or substance has been linked to all lung injury cases.

he Ohio Department of Agriculture confirmed the first two positive cases this year of West Nile Virus in Ohio horses. A horse in Stark County confirmed with West Nile Virus was vaccinated once in the spring but did not receive a booster. The second horse’s county of origin and vaccination history are not yet known. The spread of West Nile Virus in horses is preventable with proper vaccination and horse owners are urged to ensure their animal’s vaccine and boosters are up to date. West Nile Virus is transmitted to horses via bites from infected mosquitoes. Clinical signs the virus include flu-like symptoms, where the horse seems mildly anorexic and depressed. Changes in mentality, drowsiness, driving or pushing forward (often without control), and asymmetrical weakness may be observed. The mortality rate from West Nile Virus can be as high as 30-40 percent in horses. Infection with West Nile Virus does not always lead to signs of illness in people or animals. West Nile Virus is endemic in the United States and Ohio has reported positive cases in horses each of the last few years. These cases follow the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s report of eastern equine encephalitis in an Ashtabula County horse on Aug. 29. Since then, two additional horses have been confirmed with eastern equine encephalitis, one each in Geauga and Portage counties. “West Nile Virus and eastern equine encephalitis are serious diseases that can be prevented with proper vaccination,” said State Veterinarian Dr. Tony Forshey. “I encourage all owners to work with their local vet to keep their animals healthy.” In addition to vaccinations, horse owners also should work to reduce the mosquito population and eliminate possible breeding areas. Recommendations include: removing stagnant water sources; keeping animals inside during the bugs' feeding times, which are typically early in the morning and evening; and using mosquito repellents. Because West Nile Virus and eastern equine encephalitis can also be transmitted to humans by the bite of infected mosquitoes, animals diagnosed with these diseases are a sign that people should also take steps to guard themselves against mosquitoes by applying repellent and wearing protective clothing. Both diseases are very rare in humans, and only a few cases are reported in the United States each year. There are no confirmed human cases associated with any of these equine cases in Ohio. The Ohio Department of Agriculture is working with the Ohio Department of Health and local health officials to monitor both outbreaks. Suspect horse cases should be reported to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Citizens who are concerned about an illness should contact their physician.

Cincinnati wine festival tickets go on sale Oct. 1 ■ The Cincinnati International Wine Festival is announcing its 2020 honorary chairwoman in preparation for its 30th anniversary celebration next March. Tickets for the festival go on sale Tuesday, Oct. 1. Suzanne Groth, CEO and president of Groth Vineyards & Winery in Oakville, Calif., GROTH will be the festival’s 2020 honorary chair. Groth grew up in Oakville, Napa Valley. After a stint working in the field of art after college, she began her wine career in distribution sales, selling fine wine to restaurants and retailers. She returned to the family business in 1998, where she eventually acquired an increased level of ownership, and now oversees the Groth family wine business on behalf of the second generation. Groth is actively involved in several wine industry-related organizations, including the California Wine Institute and the Oakville Winegrowers association. “It is such a thrill for me to be the Cincinnati International Wine Festival’s honorary chair for 2020,” said Groth. “I am consistently intrigued by how wine brings people together from all over the world, and what better time and place to truly relish the universal language of wine than at this esteemed festival’s 30th anniversary celebration.” The Cincinnati International Wine Festival has been uniting wine lovers near and far for three decades. The weekend-long celebration includes wine tastings, gourmet dining, education sessions, silent auctions and more. One of the largest in the country, the festival will feature more than 700 wines from 250 wineries around the world. More than 5,000 people attended last year’s events, and even more are expected for the 30th anniversary celebration. “Tickets to the wine festival make the perfect gift, and it’s not too early to begin your holiday shopping,” said Cincinnati International Wine Festival Executive Director Kelly Weissmann. “Whether you’re a seasoned expert or an intrigued beginner, I encourage you to make plans now to join us for a grand, global celebration of our 30th anniversary in March. It will be a fun, unifying, educational and memorable weekend, and it’s all for a great cause.”

In a food processor, place the navy beans, evaporated milk, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, and egg yolks; pulse the mixture a few times, then process until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crusts. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown, an additional 35 minutes. If custard isn’t set, turn oven off, open door and let the pies cool in the oven. For a twist, try substituting one of the tablespoons of vanilla extract with a tablespoon of almond extract. Eat warm or cold. Refrigerate leftovers.
