Have you noticed the historical building that recently got a facelift?
According to the Greer Heritage Museum: "Ponders Ice Cream first occupied 107 Trade Street, then moved to the larger store and factory located on East Poinsett. There, they made high-quality ice cream and also ran a bottling company that made a range of sodas, including a "knock off" of Coca-Cola; but they were famous for Ponder's Ginger Ale. They also made ginger ale for Chick Springs. Through the 20th century Ponders was a destination and bright spot for many Greer residents."

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, and we wanted to highlight to work our first responders are doing to combat the epidemic every day. All City of Greer Police Officers are trained at the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy on how to administer Narcan, and all Uniform Patrol Officers are trained and carry Narcan. The Greer Fire Department also keeps Narcan in every first aid kit they have on board. So far this year, they have administered 23 vials of Narcan, and have responded to 67 overdose related incidents. There are several treatment centers in our area for overdose patients including Carolina Behavioral Center in Greer, the Phoenix Center in Greenville County, and the Forrester Center in Spartanburg County.

At the August 8 City Council meeting, Mayor Rick Danner took time to honor several individuals who have made a profound impact on Greer by awarding them a Key to the City.
Jerry Balding previously served as the General Manager for Greer CPW for 20 years, and was instrumental in helping create the Greer we enjoy today. The Mayor touted Jerry's work ethic and kindness to those around him.
Alison Rauch with Greer CPW currently serves as the Public Information Officer for CPW. She is also on the board for the Greer Centennial Lions Club, is a board member for Greer Community Ministries, and often volunteers her time with organizations like Keep Greenville County Beautiful, The Blood Connection, and TreesUpstate.
12-year-old Ivey Tapp has been collecting donations for her birthday to donate to Greer Community Ministries her whole life. This past year was no exception--Ivey donated her largest trailer load of food yet along with a $20,000 donation.
Former City of Greer Mayor Don Wall was credited with taking on Greer when no one else would. He helped jump start economic development and change in the downtown area, and worked to annex properties into the City while he was Mayor which increased the tax base.
