Uptown and Around Logan
with Sharon K. Grossman
When I moved to Logan full-time and started working here 40
years ago, one of the things I had to change in my vocabulary
was how everyone referred to Main St. as uptown. Being from
Columbus, we always said, downtown. This was one of many
things I came to learn about living and working in this small town.
Uptown seemed to be more than merely a directional label.
Uptown is positive and more exciting. Downtown tends to make
one think of going lower in quality, which arguably is sometimes
true in the case of Columbus.
At any rate, Logan 40 years ago was somewhat of a magical
place in my eyes. The energy of this town was much like that
of Mayberry of The Andy Griffth Show fame. I often observed
the goings-on with a smile of pleasure on my face for it was the
little eccentricities of Logan and its people that made it interesting
and endearing. This column will be about just those kinds of
hometown things. The little things that make a hometown into
a hometown. I want to dedicate it to the memory of the one and
only Effe Woltz who wrote a column in the local newspaper many
years ago entitled, Doings On Buck Run.
As you might expect, Buck Run had little real news but Effe flled
her column with the names of those who visited her and what
was going on with them. She even wrote about laundry day. In
particular, I remember her reporting the name of the lucky person
upon whom the honor was bestowed of placing the frst footprints
in the snow outside her door. As I write this, I smile and think of
many old-timers who will be smiling along with me, remembering
Effes writings. Some might have made fun of her subject
matter at the time, but even those religiously read her column.
And what an intriguing introduction for a cozy mystery novel that
Effes writings conjure up where chapter 1 might begin with an
old, eccentric woman hidden behind the curtain at her window
and seeing those frst footprints in the snowbut who might they
belong to?
Thinking about how life used to be around Logan brings a
bittersweet homesickness to my soul. Its like remembering visits
to my Aunt Etta near Waverly and sitting in her kitchen on chairs
that she had had since the end of World War II. I bought one of
those beat up old chairs at the auction of all her things after she
died just for a keepsake. People wondered why I wanted only
one chair and not the whole set. But one was just enough.
In the same way, with all the inevitable changes and problems
that Logan has seen over the years, Im hoping that we wont
throw out all the memories of old chairs we sat on that made
this place special. What we need to do is keep only those that
make people long to come home to Logan rather than always
chomping on the bit to get away. I believe many people yearn for
more of a hometown to belong to.
With that goal in view, Ill be roving uptown and around, looking for
personal stories, history and tidbits of information about Logan.
You never know where Ill turn up.
If you have a story, you can email me at sharonhockinghills@
gmail.com. I cant promise Ill write about it but I surely will enjoy
sitting on that old chair. And I wonder. . . who is going to place
those frst footprints in the snow?

Creating Art for the New Logan Double Roundabouts
By Sharon K. Grossman
Six huge clay forms, mysteriously shrouded in plastic, sit in The Logan Clay Products Companys factorynot destined to be buried
as sewer pipebut to be installed as artwork in the middle of Logans new double roundabouts at the intersection of SR 664 and
33.
Local artist Jean Magdich, who is the owner of Hocking House, 29580 Big Pine Rd., 4 miles south of Logan, went to work on these
24 bell and spigot pipes extruded at the plant. She pounded the pipes with shaping tools, carved them with knives, and brushed
on ceramic glaze, turning them into impressive, futed columns with matching capitals which will showcase icons representing the
Hocking Hills area.
Last year, a Gateway Committee was organized for collaboration between the Hocking Hills Tourism Association, County Engineers
Offce, Ohio Department of Transportation, and the City of Logan Tree Commission to come up with ideas for landscaping and
decoration of the roundabouts. Speaking about the project, committee member Rick Webb reported that they wanted something
attractive to serve as a gateway to the area. Committee members liked columns that Jean created previously to adorn Logan Clays
plant site and wanted something similar.
The committee contacted Jean, and she designed a matched set of three columns with decorative capitals on top of each. The
columns vary in height: 7, 5, and 3 with an additional 2 in the capitals.
Magdichs challenge in designing the columns was that they had to be functional as well as artistic. Most importantly, they had to be
readily readable without being distracting as cars pass by, as well as greet visitors to the area. With that in mind, she designed the
wording on the columns to help eliminate confusion as to the traveling directions. In the direction of the state parks, one column will
read, Welcome to Hocking Hills. Toward Logan, one column will read, Welcome to Logan.
The capitals on top of the columns are where Magdich truly brings out her artistry. She is incorporating icons of what people see
in the area and why they visit. Turkey, deer, mushrooms, and fowers will decorate one capital. Footprints of shoes walking on the
sides of another will represent hiking. Plants and wildlife will be woven into the theme and include her signature designs of dogwood,
turtles, lizards, and indigenous plants. Another column will be a stylized tree with handprints, representing the generations of families
in Hocking County and the whole community. Here again, the goal was to make these symbols easily readable as people pass and
to speak to them quickly rather than being abstract in meaning.
Jean described how the lettering on the columns was diffcult due to the size, multiple lines, and curved surface. She used a level
and grid to mark off the letters, then carefully carved them into the columns.
The project was started on July 19 and so far, she has worked over 50 hours with many more hours to go. She is sometimes limited
on available time as she has to work around Logan Clay employees schedules as they go about their work.
A crane will be needed to install the columns in the middle of the roundabouts when complete.
I couldnt do this without my years of experience with working with the clay extruded at Logan Clay Products, Magdich said. Also,
the Logan Clay employees expertise and ability to handle large pieces of clay are required for this project or it just could not be done.
These men are fantastic.
Jeans further intention for this artwork is for it to be a tribute to the clay industry of old. She describes Logan Clay Products with its
123 years in business as a dinosaur in its time.
During the canal days, the city of Logan was known as clay town while Lancaster was glass town, and Southeastern Ohio was home
to many other companies engaged in the clay business in one form or another, such as in Junction City and New Lexington. Along
with Logan Clay Products, Logan had the Brick Yard and Logan Pottery. An abundance of quality clay mined in this section of Ohio
provided the perfect raw material for these companies. Jean likes to think that when someone purchases a clay product here, they
are taking a piece of Hocking County home with them. Its made here, of here. I am so honored to be able to do this project and am
hoping it will be something everyone can be proud of, she said.

Unique new building will serve churches,
businesses and the community
Chieftain Drive, just outside of Logan, is now home to a curiously unique
building which was recently dedicated for church, business and community
use. An open house was held on August 24 where the public was invited to
get their frst look inside. They were treated to quite a surprise.
From the road, the frst thing that strikes ones curiosity is the buildings
unusual shape, then the colorwhich some have likened to a giant
marshmallow. Closer inspection inside reveals that while its walls feel
softer than what we would normally expect walls to be, it is actually a
permanent, tent-like structure, which is aerodynamic, hurricane resistant,
and lasts for decades.
The South Central Ohio District Church of the Nazarene owns this property.
Rodney P. Kuhn, Manager of The Logan Conference Center, which is a
subdivision of the District, described the structure as having two tensioned
membranes, an inner and outer layer with 8 of insulation in the middle.
The building was originally set up in Tennessee and used as a church. The
conference center purchased and dismantled it, then shipped it to Logan
in semi-trailers where it was stored in the trailers until proper permits were
obtained to reconstruct it at the Logan site. They have extended the size
20 feet to accommodate a smaller conference area outside of the main
auditorium, which includes a kitchenette, bathrooms and a space for
smaller groups of up to 120 people who do not need the entire auditorium.
The auditorium can hold a maximum 679 people.
The heating and cooling systems pump air through giant duct socks in the
ceiling which collapse when air is not moving through them.
The South Central Ohio District Church of the Nazarene has worked
extensively with Bill Rinehart, Executive Director of the Logan-Hocking
Chamber of Commerce and the Hocking County Community Improvement
Corporation. The District was instrumental in setting the stage for the
creation of the Logan Industrial Park and the Logan Campus of Hocking
College, which are across the road from the conference center on property
formerly belonging to the District. In addition, the new conference center
will be an asset in attracting corporations into the industrial park because
business meetings can be held nearby at the conference center.
In 1994, the District purchased the original tract of land comprising 800
acres, but the site has been reduced to 650 acres after sections on the
south side of Chieftain Drive were either sold or traded. One 50-acre
tract of land was traded to the CIC for the industrial park in return for free
extension of water and sewer lines from Logan. The Districts site is also
home to an RV campground with showers and restrooms which is the only
property belonging to the District now south of Chieftain Drive. In addition,
they have ten rental cabins and a smaller building which has meeting
space for rent and two apartments. Reservations for these facilities can be
made at cabinsinhocking.com or by calling 740/331-4840.
Tom Gates, Pastor of the Logan Church of the Nazarene, explained that
their South Central Ohio District extends within a perimeter of Columbus,
Zanesville, Marietta, Portsmouth, Circleville and Grove City and includes
77 churches.
The building has already hosted its frst wedding. Permits were received
just in time for that big day.
We are making plans one step at a time, said John Grimm, President of
the Logan Conference Center Board. We have not yet envisioned all of
the possibilities for this building.
The building is currently being used only by churches but will be available
to the community to rent for functions such as business meetings, concerts
and banquets in March, 2014. They must operate it over a full season of
the summer, fall, and winter months to determine what utility and other
costs have to be included in the rental charge. Their goal is not to make
money but to serve the community. Pam Masters is the contact person to
arrange reservations and get information. Her number is 614/539-681
