The waters of Lake Ontario have long known the men and women who answered the call of duty. This Memorial Day, we honor their memory, and the generations of sailors, soldiers, and service members from our community who gave their lives for something greater. On this day and always, we are grateful.

Flowers Appear all over Newark!

The Village of Newark streets, front yards and parks got cleaner and greener recently at the village’s 20th Annual Community Pride Day on May 16th. Volunteers planted flowers, pulled weeds and picked up trash throughout the village. Residents and business owners all over the village also showed their pride by cleaning and adorning their own front yards and storefronts with beautiful flowers in an effort to make our community sparkle.

Congratulations to the winner of this year’s contest, Siren’s Salon for “most colorful natural flowers on the exterior of a Newark business”. Mayor Jonathan Taylor presented a $200 prize for their efforts.

The Community Pride Day Committee would like to thank the following businesses and organizations for their generous support of The 2026 Newark “Color our Community Pride Day”: HEP Sales/North Main Lumber/Builder’s Bargain Outlet, Plassche Lumber, Q’s Landscape Enterprise, Inc., Newark Rotary Club, Newark Garden Club, the Greater Newark Chamber of Commerce, and the Village of Newark.

The committee would also like to thank the many community volunteers and residents who got their hands dirty and have colored our community with beautiful flowers!
