Live entertainment. Plays by the Logan Theatre Group. Local singers, group performances, and conferences. You name it, and the possibilities are there. Yet this ol gal, the Jewel of Logan, is much in the same condition as John Browns body, as described in the popular Civil War song. She, too, lies a-mouldering in the gravebut we hope for resurrection. How about it? Rather than a-mouldering, lets get that marquee a-flashin and bring her back alive. 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 reading it.

Digital Works Seeks Qualified Unemployed People to Train and Match with Employers
by Sharon K. Grossman The opening of a second Digital Works operating center in Southeastern Ohio marks the beginning of a turnaround in employment opportunities for qualified unemployed persons in Logan. Digital Works screens, trains and certifies workers for customer service management in teleworking jobs. After training, they guarantee placement in a job which matches the individuals skills and interests with an employer. How does it work? Apply online at digitalworksjobs.com or walk into their center at 80 E. Main St., in Logan or 2725 Pinkerton Lane, in Zanesville. Tammy Spring is the Facilitator in the Logan office, and she can assist you in the application process on their computers. Jobs and Family Services (JFS) at 389 W. Front St. in Logan, 740/3801545, can also assist in the application process. The next step is an in-depth interview. Skills are assessed, and background and credit checks are included in the qualifications required. Applicants must meet basic requirements and there is no cost to apply. Assistance with training fees may be available to eligible participants through JFS and grants. After acceptance, an orientation is scheduled and 144 hours of self-based training begins at the operating center. Trainees are mentored in an atmosphere of people in similar situations. After successfully completing the training, employment opportunities are guaranteed with career tracks for advancement. The demand for teleworkers is increasing whereby workers are located anywhere instead of in the brick and mortar buildings of an employer. This is known as doing business in the cloud, and workers could be located in an operating center on the East Coast while working for a company on the West Coast. Another example, as many have experienced, is calling a U.S.-based company, yet connecting with a customer service representative in another country. You may never know where the person you are talking with is located. However, a recent survey has found that the United States is the worlds most desirable location for expanding IT and business service centers, and rural America is a rich source of desirable workers in need of jobs. The goal of Digital Works is connecting people with these jobs. They will train rural unemployed workers to be customer service representatives who will take advantage of jobs in the cloud. Students in this program will learn effective verbal and written communication and how to improve listening skills in order to apply their knowledge and skills with customers. In cooperation with the community resources where Digital Works operating centers are located and state and federal grants and local contributions, 10-15 new jobs per month (120-180 annually) are expected to be created. Some graduates of the program at the Zanesville operating center are already working. The first training group to start in Logan is nearing the end of the training process and will be able to start taking incoming calls and working on site very soon. Lyndsey Kleven, Public Relations Specialist at the nonprofit Connect Ohio had this to say about their Digital Works: The goal of the program is to take employable people, struggling to get back into the workforce, and provide them with the training that they need to get back into the job market. The program is a win for everyone involved. Digital Works is assisting communities to recruit businesses, creating job opportunity, and producing quality workers. For the participants involved, the success comes from the mentoring aspect of the training program and the morale of the Digital Works environmentseeing other people like them going through the training and working at the site is a key motivating factor.

Candidates Agree: Appreciation for Logan and Hocking County are Reason to Serve
by Sharon K. Grossman Meet the Candidate night was held Thursday, September 26, in the Chieftain Elementary School hosted by the Logan Hocking Chamber of Commerce. Appreciation for our special town and county was a common thread throughout the evening and was expressed as the reason to serve the community. Candidates at the event viewed public office as an opportunity to give back to the area for being a wonderful community and a great place to raise a family. Moderator was Andy Good, Logan Hocking Chamber of Commerce Board Member, and Timekeeper was Rob Davis. Panel interviewers were Karen Raymore of the Hocking Hills Tourism Association (representing the Logan Hocking Chamber of Commerce membership); Noah Johnson, LHS Student Class President (representing students); Gretchen Gregory, Editor of the Logan Daily News (representing the media); and Vickie Lutz of 98.3 FM Radio (representing the radio station). The event was filmed by TV2 of the Logan High School Technology Department and recorded by 98.3 FM Radio. The panel began their questioning with Anna T. Lindsay and Christina Pickell who are running for City Auditor. Lindsays goals for the next term of office are to continue a high standard of customer service and maintain the record of clean audits of the citys books. Pickells goals are to upgrade the website to allow for online payments and to bring new ideas into the department. The theme of change continued with City Treasurer candidates Carol Huffines and Rebecca Webb. Huffines maintains handwritten ledgers which she is very familiar with and Webbs goal is to computerize the bookkeeping. Paul Mock and Larry Beal are running for President of the Logan City Council. Mock was unable to be present for this event, and Jeff Dickerson read his statement in which his goals included creating a welcoming atmosphere for visitors to attend city council meetings. Larry Beal took his turn at the podium and outlined his experience and encouraged the community to work together. City Council Ward 3 candidates, David Driscoll and Tom Redd discussed the sewer problem in South Logan and each emphasized this as a top priority to be fixed. Driscoll also emphasized that Logan needs improvement in how to recycle of all types of waste. Redd would like the street sweeper to run more often. The proposed city pool was discussed. Each candidate agreed that a new indoor pool is a great idea and that the current pool cannot be sustained by the city. Redd brought out that it currently costs $390 per day to operate but said that if an indoor pool is built in Mingo park, a bridge would have to be built as this area is in the flood plain. Driscoll emphasized that the pool project will need a lot of people involved to make it happen and will take years to build. Interviews of the School Board candidates were most informative with facts and figures coming out. All the candidates emphasized that they would work to be a voice for the children in the school system and desired the board to be a hub between teachers, administrators, and the public for the benefit of the school system. Candidates Lance Bell, Corby Leach, Ed Penrod, Susan Hodson Rinehart, and Paul Scarmack all hold impressive backgrounds of education and experience in their chosen fields. To list just one of each candidates goals mentioned, Lance Bells goal is to encourage pride from within the schools by building great relationships. Corby Leach wants to expand the new Leader in Me project started at Green Elementary to other schools in the system. Ed Penrod would like to Rubber Roofing Tamko Dim. see classes begin after Labor Day and end before Memorial Day to Shingles allow families more time to travel. Susan Rinehart wants to maintain 65 sq. ft. 87.99 Sq. high grades for the school system in the States new grade card ratings. Paul Scarmack will emphasize communication. Barns Rooftop Four of the candidates for Township Trustees were also present to give brief statements. Scott Harden, running for Falls Township Trustee, spoke of widening roads, maintaining cemeteries and lots of work behind the scenes which have made progress. John E. Vargo, also running for Falls Township Trustee, wants to give FallsGore Township more attention and spoke about the web page and other reports. Green Township Trustee candidate Margie Fought emphasized taking care of roads. John Clay Fuller, also running for Green Township Trustee, reported on success in goals accomplished, such as cleaning ditches and new machinery purchased to fix potholes but emphasized much more is to be done.

Moonville Rail Trail Association will be setup at Hope School. We will be selling food, tee shirts, hats, scarfs, pictures, and memberships. All proceeds will be going toward the installation of the Moonville Tunnel Bridge. Neil Shaw, President, Moonville Rail Trail Association, had a dream back in the early 90s to put in hiking, bicycle, and equine trails with help from several excited groups that formed the organization. These include 9.5 miles of trails including the King Switch and the Moonville Tunnel. We purchased the property through grants and turned the property over to Athens and Vinton County commissioners. Neil said the organization is responsible for maintaining the trails and putting the bridges in. The only funding we have is through donations and fund raisers to make this happen. Moonville Tunnel is popular to those whom believe in ghosts. You just might encounter one of these sightings while visiting this popular tourist spot. Neil Shaw, President 740-385-5306
