2021 Choctaw Lake Summer Concert Series

March 10, 2021

Dan Blazer and Ernie Sparks have finalized the lineups for the 2021 Choctaw Lake Summer Concert Series. Below, Dan Blazer provides dates and a great summary of this year’s music events!

The Choctaw Lake Summer Concert Series for 2021 promises to be an extremely exciting year featuring many “high energy” bands.  This year we have elected to schedule the best bands we have had the pleasure to listen to over the last 3 years.  As last year, this year our concerts are sponsored by Ernie Sparks and Ernie’s Pharmacy.  Here is the schedule for this year.

May 29 (Saturday) – The Temps

June 26 (Saturday) – The Locals

July 17 (Saturday) – Rendition

August 7 (Saturday) – Paradise Island Band

August 21 (Saturday) – Ashley Martin

September 5 (Sunday) – The Wayfarers/23 Southbound

The Temps are a high energy 1980’s through 2000’s rock band that put on different costumes as the night proceeds.  Their costumes represent the era of the music they are playing for that set.  The Temps had more people dancing last year than any other act during the summer.  “The Locals” will entertain us with their brand of rockin roll.  They represent, of sorts, an all-star group of musicians with a female lead singer from various bands from Dayton, OH that come together a few times a year for special events.  The Locals were the surprise of last year’s 2020 Summer Concert Series. 

Rendition has an outstanding horn section and plays music that takes advantage of that.  They also have a famous drummer from Choctaw Lake (i.e., Ernie Sparks ).  The Paradise Island Band is a rock/soul/funk band that features a fabulous female singer and saxophone player.  They play a high-energy selection of soul and funk songs.  Ashley Martin is a singer-songwriter from the heart of America.  Ashley now tours the country with her four-piece band.  She has created a unique style all her own – a mix of country, rock and pop. 

Finally, at our last concert of the year (i.e., Community Days) we feature two bands:  1) The Wayfarers fuse tight musicianship – centered largely by the fiddle – with the high energy that characterized early mountain music.  With old-time radio shows setting the example, their style encompasses Appalachian dance music, traditional mountain fiddle tunes, and pre-bluegrass music of the 1920’s – resulting in a dose of nostalgic Americana…and 2) “23 Southbound” is Columbus Ohio’s premier country band.  Comprised of four seasoned musicians, who have been playing an array of genres in multiple groups for several years now. They have opened for CMA, ACM, and Grammy Award winning Kentucky Headhunters and opened multiple times for McGuffey Lane.

Our concerts this year should be amazing!  Again, many thanks to Ernie Sparks and Ernie’s Pharmacy for sponsoring our Summer Concert Series.

Observations During Snow Removal

February 3, 2021

Over the past couple of days, I have had the opportunity to take multiple laps around the community…again and again! I have a few observations I want to share around rules and regs.

Before I get to that, I want to send a huge Thank you to those that removed snow away from mailboxes in your area. We do our best to get close with our trucks, but it’s a bit challenging as we don’t want to hit the stands with large plows. I noticed many stands that were either shoveled, cleaned up with a snowblower, or cleared with a small ATV/plow. I have no idea who all did this, but I noticed it and greatly appreciate it. I am sure all using the mailboxes thank you as well.

The next couple of items will probably seem petty, but they are rule violations. I noticed multiple yards with signs. The most common signs right now are 4H, Madison Health, and contractor signs in which no work is in process. I understand the signs are positive in nature, but they are against the community Rules and Regs. I haven’t had a chance to circle back to call to request removal. I plan to do that in the next 1-2 days. Please double check your property. If you have a sign in the yard, including in the landscape bed by your house, please remove it.

The next item to address is trash cans. Per the Rules and Regs, trash cans are to be removed from the curbside by midnight of pickup day. Many were still out along the road Tuesday morning.

Again, I know many may feel that these two items are minor. Complying with these two rules help in keeping a clean and neat looking community.

Your help is appreciated. I will make calls by end of the week to those with signs in their yard.

Mike

BOT Candidates: Answers to Property Owner Questions

Filed Under: Neighborhood Update

Is it time to review your homeowner insurance rates?

December 15, 2020

We have had some changes concerning our fire protection in 2020.  Due to the planning of Choctaw Utilities with the fire hydrants installed and the completion and the staffing of the new fire/EMS station that is less than 2 miles from Choctaw, our insurance ISO ratings have dropped significantly.   Homeowners are reporting savings on fire insurance. 

The documents supporting the ISO ratings can be viewed and downloaded from the Madison County website under Communities. https://www.co.madison.oh.us/community/townships/somerford/index.php

If I can answer any further questions, you may reach me at 740-837-0367.

Sincerely,

Bill Laney, Somerford Twp. Trustee
