Heatherwoode Golf Club was again tapped to host the five-day Ohio High School Athletic Association Southwest District Boys & Girls Golf tournaments. Set for Oct. 2, 3, 4, 11 and 12, the best junior golfers in the region will hit the links. The top three winners of each district then move on to the state competition held in Columbus.
In addition to about 360 high school golfers representing 64 high school teams from all over the Dayton and Cincinnati area, family and friends will attend each day in support of their players. The City, Miami Valley Golf and the Heatherwoode staff will again work with the Miami Valley Communications Council to broadcast the event live each day on the City’s YouTube channel giving fans from all over the country the opportunity to watch their players tee off, participate in playoff rounds and live interviews.
History
Miami Valley Communications Council is a municipal communications and technology organization representing the eight member cities of Centerville, Germantown, Kettering, Miamisburg, Moraine, Oakwood, Springboro and West Carrollton. The council also has affiliate agreements with other Miami Valley cities. MVCC was formed in 1975 as a council of governments to monitor, regulate, and administer common cable television franchise agreements, manage the operation of the council's cable access television channels, and develop and implement intergovernmental projects designed to strengthen communications between member cities and their citizens. A policy-making body consisting of delegates representing member cities governs the council.
Funding
MVCC is funded through franchise fees paid by the cable service provider. Franchise fees are rent that the cable company pays for placing its wires over or under the public rights-of-way (streets.) MVCC uses these franchise fees to support its community access television activities, cooperative intergovernmental projects, and to explore new and changing technologies that will benefit member communities. The council, in turn, provides many services to our communities at little or no cost.
