ST. MARYS - City officials want to hear from residents on ways to better utilize K. C. Geiger Park.
"After June, the park is pretty dull until SummerFest. I think we can make better use of it. I want St. Marys to be a destination and the park is a big part of that. What do people want? I'm looking for ideas, even though it may be years before we can do anything. We need some long-range plans," safety service director Tom Hitchcock told council's parks and recreation committee Tuesday evening. [More]
CELINA - The Grand Lake Mariners set season-high marks for hits and runs on Wednesday night while producing the most-lopsided win of the year in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League.
Grand Lake (10-11) belted 18 hits in an 18-2 drubbing of the Xenia Scouts (8-14) at Jim Hoess Field. In a stark contrast, Grand Lake had only three hits just 24 hours earlier in a 10-1 loss to Hamilton. [More]
CELINA - The Lake Festival will go on as scheduled July 23-25, but with a few location changes due to algae blooms in the lake and warnings about getting in the water.
MINSTER - The mission for the Minster ACME team on Wednesday night at Hanover Street Park was simple - win one game and they would go home as Auglaize County sectional champions, while a loss meant they would have to play the St. Marys Roughriders a second time for the county title.
