YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning County Probate Judge Mark A. Belinky has named Daniel A. De Salvo of Boardman to replace Atty. Carl A. Nunziato on the Mill Creek MetroParks board of commissioners.

Durick, a Struthers dentist, will be sworn in by Judge Belinky during a public ceremony at 11 a.m. Jan. 6 at Mill Creek Park’s D. D. and Velma Davis Visitor Center at Fellows Riverside Gardens.
Judge Belinky appointed Ragan and Dr. Durick to new seats on the park board, which is expanding from three to five members. The commissioners continuing on the board are Jay Macejko, Youngstown city prosecutor, who has been on the board for one year, and Virginia Dailey, of Boardman, who has been on the board since March 1998.
An Army veteran, De Salvo holds a bachelor of science in business administration from Youngstown State University. He received his leasing certification from Syracuse University and his human resource consultant certification from Duke University.
In addition, De Salvo has experience in urban planning, as a human resource consultant and in community fund raising.
