COMMITTEE LOOKS TO RAISE WATER RATES - February 8, 2012
Last week, WTGR reported on a power point presentation provided at a
Greenville City Council special session meeting. That presentation
involved the Greenville Water Treatment Plant. Tuesday night, during
the regularly scheduled City Council meeting, the utilities committee
submitted a report calling for a raise in water rates for the city.
The rate increase for the water minimum price would go from $16.20 to
$32.40 for the first full billing cycle in 2012. The change will allow
the city to replace meters that are outdated. With new radio read
meters the City could potentially lower water loss.
Last week, Gary Evans from the water department informed council that
the city is losing water at an alarming rate, which in turn means the
city is losing money. Evans told council that in the last 11 years
their expenses exceeded their income by $414,542.
Currently, Greenville has the lowest rate in Darke County for
customers who use under 29 units of water and also hold one of the
lowest rates in the Miami Valley. With the change the only village in
Darke County that would have a lower rate would be Versailles. A
resolution will now be put together for council to adopt that will be
read 3 times at 3 separate meetings. The first reading is expected at
their next meeting on Tuesday, February 21 in Downtown Greenvillle. To

2012 GREAT DARKE COUNTY FAIR ENTERTAINMENT - February 1, 2012
February 1, 2012 – Greenville OH
The Board of Directors for the Darke County Agricultural Society are pleased to announce that Foreigner will perform at the 156th Great Darke Fair on Sunday, August 19th at 8 PM.
Foreigner is universally hailed as one of the most popular rock acts in the world, racking up scores of smash hits, multi-platinum albums, and sold out concert tours.
From Cold As Ice to Hot Blooded, Urgent to Jukebox Hero, Waiting For A Girl Like You to the chart topper I Want To Know What Love is, Foreigner's thrilling mix of blustery blues and impeccably crafted pop continues to captivate generation after generation of music fans.
Today, over 70 million albums later, Foreigner is an ensemble of talented musicians each adding their individual credentials to the mix to make the band stronger and more powerful than ever.
The band is consistently in the Top 15 at Classic Rock Radio. As a result of the depth of the catalogue, the band gets more airplay at this important format than, Tom Petty, Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Def Leppard, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner and most of its peers.
Foreigner '4' spent more weeks on the Billboard chart at No. 1 than any album by AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, U2, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Genesis, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton and any artist in Atlantic Records' 60 year history.
Foreigner has 9 Top 10 hits (that's just one less than The Eagles, as many as Fleetwood Mac, and more than Journey, Crosby, Stills and Nash, ZZ Top, Bad Company, The Steve Miller Band, Alice Cooper, Genesis, Def Leppard, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant and a whole lot more).
Their hit single, 'Waiting For A Girl Like You' was No. 2 on the singles chart for a total of 14 weeks. This is a record in the history of Billboard magazine. It helped drive Foreigner to No. 49 on Billboard's Hot 100 All Time Top Artists Chart. To put that in perspective, The Eagles are No. 54, Fleetwood Mac are No. 73 and Aerosmith are No. 90.
All seats are reserved with Track seating at $25.00 each and Grandstand seating at $23.00 each.
