New Elm St. Park Dedication
The Village Mayor, Village Council, Village personnel, and a few residents
gathered at the new Elm St. Park located at 8103/8109 Elm St. on Saturday April
29th at 10am to dedicate the new park. Hot dogs, chips and water was
served. Mayor Mary Boring made a short dedication speech, which is listed
below.
“Ernie Harter was a lifelong resident of Thurston. He played
basketball for Thurston High School and graduated from Thurston High School in
1938. He was a firefighter for the Village of Thurston and was a member on
the Thurston Village Council for many years. He became mayor for Thurston
on August 4th, 1988. He was a
valuable and key player in establishing the municipal water system from the
Village of Baltimore to the Village of Thurston. He owned and operated a
car dealership for many years in the Village of Thurston. He attended most
council meetings after I became Mayor. He was always there to lend a
helping hand and keep up to date on everything and gave knowledge to every
new council ember that came on board. I did a proclamation for Ernie on
March 1st, 2010. It was
well deserved and every March 1st is Ernie Harter Day in the Village of Thurston
and I am proud to dedicate this park to Ernie Harter.”
