MEMORIAL DAY CHANGES

The Memorial Day parade is scheduled for May 29, 2023.

Each year we mention veterans living in our community. If you are a veteran and would like to participate, please call Jerry Ritch and give him your name, branch of service, and war in which you may have served. 330-657-2015.

On May 29 at 9:00AM in the Township`s service garage Valley Fire will be providing doughnuts and coffee.

There will be a brief service at the Memorial Grove at the Peninsula Library at 10:00AM. This service commemorates the service of former staff, board members, and friends of the Peninsula Library who have passed away.

We expect the band to arrive around 11:00AM. From here the parade goes up to Cedar Grove Cemetery for a short service.

We have made some changes this year. For the Boston part of the parade our new start location will be on Riverview Road at the south end of Boston Mills Ski Area. We are using the two driveways at the south end of their parking lot. There will be hot dogs, water, lemonade, and bakery for all. After a brief rest the parade will continue down Riverview Road to Boston Mills and then to Main Street ending at the Boston Cemetery for another brief service.

PENINSULA UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.

It is with a mixture of joyful expectation for the gift of new opportunities, and sadness at the close of a wonderful season in ministry. I share with you that I have been selected to serve a full- time appointment at First United Methodist Church of East Liverpool, Ohio, beginning July 1, 2023. It has been a blessed time of ministry and mission here at Peninsula United Methodist Church, and within our community, for these past eight years. Peter and I have shared many meaningful experiences and made many new friends.

Reverend Lea Mahan has been appointed to serve another season as Pastor of PUMC beginning in July. Many of you will recall Lea from her former years in ministry here. Lea is very much in tune with the good work the church has been doing, and I am sure I will be hearing great things about the church and our local community in the future.

Thank you all for such a joyful ministry experience among you. May God`s richest blessings be upon you.

Yours in Christ,
Rev. Claudia Britton

A Farewell Celebration for Pastor Claudia will be taking place in the community room at PUMC following the 10:00AM worship service on Sunday, June 18. All are welcome!

We would like to acknowledge our gratitude to Sally Cook, longtime Peninsula resident, for her generous bequest to PUMC, after her passing in February. Sally had been a good friend to the church for the past several years. She thoughtfully (and anonymously) donated nine Election Day Dinners to some of our neighbors-in-need last November. Her generosity has and will continue to touch many within our community.

PENINSULA MIX

Last month I wrote about the Redbud and Dogwood trees given by Ralph Reinhart, Sr. to school children throughout the years. Pictured below is one planted by my neighbor and friend, Kelly Scheall. They have one her brother, Chris, planted in the back yard.


Lindsay Ward will have a new book released in August. Trusty Town Hall, A Community Helpers Book is available for pre-order on Amazon.

Election day is always fun in Boston Township. For the past few years, we have been voting in the trustees meeting room. Township residents Ray Hach and Jay and Linda Littler are usually working the voting booths. This year they were joined by three other Board of Election workers who reside in Hudson. Election workers have a very long day, especially when there is only one issue on the ballot. Many thanks for your efforts.

POSITIVELY PENINSULA

"Nothing to report" these were the exact words of our Wastewater Liaison at our last council meeting. We disagree, we expected the report to include: 1) At the Planning Commission there was a lengthy discussion prompted during citizen participation about preparing for the "impending" meeting. During this discussion we learned there will be two meetings. The sequence, scope and ownership of the meetings was discussed including securing a venue big enough for the expected public turnout. The details of who is running what meeting was also discussed. 2) The Planning Commission agreed to compile all questions in anticipation of these meetings by having residents submit them to the village admin e-mail account. The compiled questions would be posted on the website so all can see and minimize duplication. 3) The wastewater study on the village website was updated to include two letters from the EPA and the National Park.

Nothing to report? Our group continues to assert that having a single council member as Wastewater Liaison, is not meeting the needs of village residents. Our request for a collaborative committee providing oversight and improving communication was discussed at a previous council meeting and they determined there was no need? The above example demonstrates we do not have open communication and transparency on a critical village topic. This is unacceptable. We expect our council members to hold their peers accountable and find a solution where public communication is prioritized.

For context, we were originally promised a public meeting on wastewater back in December. A letter from the Wastewater Liaison to residents was mailed in February. There has been no report on public response to the letter or public discussion amongst council members. The county has confirmed there are inaccuracies in that letter, yet there has been no update to the public.

We`ve also suggested to council a "State of the Village" discussion hosted by the Mayor would be beneficial to all as there are many topics beyond wastewater that would be of interest to residents: speed-enforcement, short-term rentals, new website, financial stability, master planning efforts to name a few. We will continue to provide ideas with a focus on open dialogue and discussion with residents.

What can you do? First and foremost, let`s get prepared by sending your wastewater/sewer questions and concerns to admin@villageofpeninsula-oh.gov or write them out and drop them off at the Village Hall. You can also request to be added to the admin email list for village updates. Second, reflect on these topics and your hopes for the future of this village. Take a few minutes to send off a note or email directly to all council members and the mayor sharing your perspective. If appropriate you can ask that it be shared publicly at the next council meeting.

If you have any other ideas, please share them with us directly at positivelypenisula@gmail.com.

CONGRATULATIONS ANTHONY






PICTURED ABOVE IS ANTHONY AND TWO OF THE MOST WONDERFULCOACHES, MIKE MASSEY AND JON HAMPSHIRE.

Peninsula-Woodridge senior, Anthony Lahoski, had a successful year for wrestling. The four-year varsity letter-winner broke the school record for most wins with 51 and was named team captain. He was Metro Athletic Conference champion for his weight class, 157#, and earned First Team All-Conference honors. This was his third year being a District qualified and went on to achieve his goal of qualifying for the OHSAA state championships in which he placed fifth overall in the State of Ohio, Division II. He earned All-Ohio status and was awarded Academic All-Ohio honors being a state placer with a GPA greater than 3.5. None of his success would have been possible without the assistance of his coaches, Jon Hampshire and Mike Massey. Anthony will graduate from Woodridge High School in May and will study mechanical engineering in the fall at Ohio Northern University where he will also compete for the wrestling team. He is the son of Terry and Denise Lahoski and grandson of Judy and the late John Lahoski. Congratulations Anthony!

DOES THE CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL PARK HAVE A CLONE? PART TWO

Part one of this article concerned our Cuyahoga Valley Homeowners and Residents Association who were asked by Columbia Gorge United, whose members lived near the Columbia River area, and were trying to save their homes.

The scenic area had already been approved by congress, but the public hearing that congress probably required had been scheduled after the fact, so the public could hear about the proposed scenic area.

Sound familiar?

Cuyahoga Valley had been described as a success story that would be repeated there.

Jerry Vasbinder, a native of Ohio had heard that our park was not the success story that they had been told about from their congressmen, and he asked that someone from our area come to the public hearing, and tell the truth about what was happening here. He said he would secure us as a listed speaker, and he did that.

My wife Marilyn and I agreed to come at our own expense.

When we arrived there, we were greeted enthusiastically, and then given a tour of the area. Their painful problem seemed a carbon copy of Cuyahoga Valley. It was primarily a farming and logging area which was depressed at that time.

Logging to the loggers was like farming, and the Douglas Fir they harvested was from areas where smaller trees had already been planted.

As was the case with Cuyahoga Valley the pressure to deprive hundreds of residents of their homes came from wealthy and influential people from Seattle and Portland who wanted a playground where they would not be disturbed by others.

Please stay tuned, and you will hear about the congressional hearings in Part Three.

Marilyn and Marty Griffith

PENINSULA FOUNDATION IS IMPROVING ITS PROPERTIES TO BENEFIT ALL

You may have noticed changes happening at several properties owned by the Peninsula Foundation. The addition to the GAR Hall will be completed this summer, with grand opening celebrations planned for September. The addition`s main focus was to allow for improved ADA accessibility in this historic Hall. ADA restrooms, an improved refreshment area and a gathering room for before and after events are featured improvements.

Much work is also being done to repurpose Peninsula`s historic Bank building at 1653 Main Street. This building will soon be the home of The Peninsula Coffee House and Wine Market. This renovation is expected to be ready for its grand opening this Summer. Putting this building back to productive use is a first step in the Peninsula Foundation`s strategy to better utilize the properties it owns for the benefit of residents and visitors to the region.

To further achieve its mission, the Peninsula Foundation is seeking proposals from potential partners for development of seven of its properties located in the heart of the Village of Peninsula including three located at the intersection of Riverview Road and Route 303. Our focus will be to respect the unique historic character of the Village and contribute to the Foundation`s and Village`s financial stability. This will provide needed quality commercial services to Peninsula Village, Boston Township and their visitors.

The deadline for responses is the end of June and we expect to move forward on one or more opportunities before the end of the year, so stay tuned for more renovations in the near future.

Karen Walters, Executive Director, Peninsula Foundation
