Newport Township dedicates statue honoring area coal miners

NEWPORT TWP. — The Newport Township community gathered last weekend to commemorate the determined spirit and tireless dedication of the region’s anthracite coal miners with a new statue in their honor.

The event, hosted by Newport United and Newport Township, was attended by elected officials, community leaders, and dozens of residents.

And the speakers shared a dual message with the crowd.

On one hand, they underscored the sacrifices of the miners and of the arduous conditions they faced, not only to provide for their families, but also to power the nation.

On the other hand, they spoke of the miners’ resiliency and hope for a better future — a point that was emphasized to be an inspiration for the community going forward.

It was a message that resonated deeply.

Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, asked attendees who were descendants of coal mining families to identify themselves — most in the audience raised a hand.

“A total of 250 years of responsible local governance is a remarkable milestone, worthy of recognition and celebration,” Baker said. “This record reflects a lengthy honor roll of families, workers, business owners, and leaders who established and sustained Newport Township. It is fitting to pay tribute to the generations of coal miners who were the economic backbone of the community and region. We can look forward to additional community achievements in the years to come.”

Opening remarks at the dedication were offered by Newport Township Manager Joe Hillan, followed by the singing of the national anthem by Karen and Kyra Phair, and a blessing of the statue by Rev. Louis Kaminski. John Zyla, Newport Township Councilman and Chairman of Newport United; and Newport Township Councilman Paul Czapracki then took the podium.

They were followed in turn by Mike Shay on behalf of U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser’s…

4 Ohio Trips You Need to Plan Now

One of the tree houses at Mohican

The best ways to snag your next stay at some of Ohio’s most in-demand getaways, including Hocking Hills and Kelley’s Island. By Laura Watilo Blake

Whether you’re chasing the cosmic thrill of spring’s solar eclipse, longing for sun-soaked beach days or eager to immerse yourself in the splendor of autumn’s leafy grandeur, Ohio will be the heart of it all in 2024. But here’s the catch — lodging options in the most exceptional destinations will vanish like shooting stars. Don’t wait to book accommodations at some of Ohio’s best getaway destinations; seize the opportunity to secure your spot well in advance, especially in these locations. 

The Cliffs at Hocking Hills

Rockbridge, Ohio

This stunning 100-acre property near Hocking Hills has been an Instagram sensation since its debut in 2020. The Cantwell Lodge can accommodate up to 18 people, and there are also three two-
bedroom bungalows that sleep four. 

Book by dates: May to September 2024 is fully booked already, but dates in the winter, spring and fall are still available.

Price: Cantwell Lodge ranges from $899 per night in the winter months to $1,999 for a summer weekend night. The bungalows go from $299 in the winter to $599 in the summer.

Kelleys Island

Kelleys Island, Ohio 

Kelleys Island has a lot of loyal regulars who book their favorite summer cottage for the same week every year during the island’s 10-week season. July is the busiest month with events such as Island Fest. 

Book by dates: Make reservations starting in January for summer weekends. Keep in mind that many of the island’s lodging options can’t be found on popular booking websites such as AirBnB or VRBO, so be sure to check out kelleysislandchamber.com and StayonKI.com.

“Mahalo Lenape”

Welded Metal Artist Kaimi Niemann Unveils “Mahalo Lenape” on the Upper East Side at former Richard Avedon studio”

— kaimi niemann

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, December 4, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Welded Metal Artistry Transcends Time and Tradition: Kaimi Niemann Unveils “Mahalo Lenape” on the Upper East Side

NEW YORK, NY –

Renowned welded metal artist Kaimi Niemann invites art enthusiasts and cultural connoisseurs to experience the unveiling of “Mahalo Lenape” at 407 East 75th Street, New York City, on Saturday, November 18, 2023.

“Mahalo Lenape” pays homage to the rich tapestry of Lenape heritage, seamlessly woven into the historical fabric of ‘Manahatta,’ the land of hills, which has been a cultural hub and gathering place for centuries. Niemann’s meticulous craftsmanship over five years has resulted in a welded metal sculpture that stands as a vibrant tribute to the Lenape tribe’s peaceful existence.

Situated in Manhattan, “Mahalo Lenape” represents more than just an art installation; it embodies a spiritual odyssey of prayer, meditation, and the transformative art of yoga. Niemann’s artistic alchemy melds metals into a stunning portrayal of the original stewards of the land, envisioning a life in harmonious balance with all of creation.

Curtis Zunigha, a tribal director, lauds the work, stating, “Mahalo Lenape, through its vivid color, dynamic shape, and rich texture, profoundly honors the Lenape spirit.”

Recognized as the ‘Picasso of Steel’ and drawing inspiration from Claire Falkenstein’s “New Gates of Paradise,” Niemann infuses his unique flair into this magnum opus. The welded metal masterpiece, likened to the works of Jackson Pollock, is a testament to Niemann’s artistic prowess and deep connection to the cultural and historical roots embedded in the Lenape spirit.

This transformative artwork invites onlookers to engage and immerse themselves in the deep historical and cultural essence within. Beyond being a…

The Native role in America’s War of Independence

The American Revolution is mostly portrayed as an epic struggle between the colonies and the British. But Native tribes and individuals played a significant role in the historic War of Independence. It was a difficult choice for tribes, who were neither British subjects nor supporters of the encroaching colonies. Tune into Native America Calling to get the Native perspective on America’s first war. Joseph Louis Cook, or Akiatonharónkwen Joseph Louis Cook, or Akiatonharónkwen, served as commissioned officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. He was born to an African father and an Abenaki mother. After he and his mother were taken captive, they were adopted into the Mohawk Nation at Kahnawake in present-day Canada.

Rewriting the Thanksgiving story, while centering Indigenous voices

From the Mayflower’s landing, to the meal shared by English setters and Wampanoag people, much is still widely misunderstood about the Thanksgiving holiday and its history.

Connecticut-based educator Chris Newell recently wrote a book for children that helps to untangle some of the myths and misnomers commonly associated with Thanksgiving. For example, the book clarifies that “the holiday we celebrate today does not have any real connection to the Mayflower’s landing. In fact, the story that links them was not created until two hundred years later.”

As Newell notes in his introduction, “The story of the Mayflower landing is different depending on whether the storyteller viewed the events from the boat or from the shore.” This hour, Chris Newell joins us.

Winona Nelson consulted with Wampanoag people to inform her illustrations in the book

Winona Nelson consulted with Wampanoag people to inform her illustrations in the book “If You Lived During the Plimoth Thanksgiving.”

Plus, how is this topic being reframed in Connecticut classrooms? The Connecticut State Department of Education recently published resources for “Teaching Native American Studies.” The materials were developed in a collaboration between the five state-recognized Eastern Woodland tribes: Golden Hill Paugussett, Mashantucket Pequot, Mohegan, Paucatuck Eastern Pequot and Schaghticoke.

Becky Gomez, the director of education for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, and Sam Tondreau, a member of the Mohegan Tribe as well as their director of curriculum and instruction, discuss. Tondreau also oversees the Mohegan Tribe’s Educators Project.

GUESTS:

  • Chris Newell: Member of the Passamaquaddy Tribe; Co-Founder and Director of Education, Akowmawt Educational Initiative; Museum Educator; Children’s Book Author, If You Lived During
