Tri-County Board Executive Director Mark McDaniel, right, presents the 2014 Director's Award to Shelby County Commissioner Tony Bornhorst for his advocacy and support of local resources for behavioral health services.
Shelby County Commissioner Tony Bornhorst has a reputation for speaking his mind and for making himself heard. When Bornhorst applied those traits to advocating for local control of mental health and addictions services dollars during Ohio's recent Mid-Biennium Budget Review process, Mark McDaniel, Executive Director of the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services, took notice.

At the Tri-County Board's Annual Meeting and Art of Recovery Showcase October 15, McDaniel presented Bornhorst with the Director's Award in recognition of his outstanding advocacy and support of the mental health and addictions services system in Shelby, Darke and Miami counties.

In accepting the award, Bornhorst reiterated the importance of locally-controlled funding to address issues in our communities and said, "I'm just doing my job."

The Director's Award is presented annually to an individual or group who has demonstrated exemplary service to the Tri-County recovery and mental health system.

Wellness Walks Kick Off at Shawnee Prairie Preserve

10/7/2014

A small but hardy band of nature lovers braved the elements for the first Wellness Walk at Shawnee Prairie Preserve just outside Greenville. A joint effort of the Miami County Parks District, Darke County Parks, Recovery and Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio, and the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services, the walks are designed to promote the physical and mental wellness properties found in natural spaces.

The inaugural walk at Shawnee Prairie was dampened with rainy, blustery conditions, but those who persevered enjoyed a brisk, naturalist-led journey through woodlands and prairie, as well as visiting the site's working blacksmith shop and raptor enclosure.

Additional walks have been scheduled in Miami and Darke Counties.

  • Tuesday, October 14, 6pm at Hobart Urban Nature Preserve, 1400 Tyrone (off Dorset), Troy
  • Sunday, October 19, 2pm at Garbry Big Woods Sanctuary, 2540 E. Statler Road, Piqua
  • Wednesday, October 22, 6pm at Shawnee Prairie Preserve, 4267 State Route 502, Greenville
There is no fee for the walks, and no registration is necessary. Bottled water will be provided by Recovery and Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio.
