Logan Theatre Newsby Sharon K. Grossman
The sound of a great deal of activity echoed through the
hallways and rooms of the historic Logan theatre during the month
of June. At the Washboard festival, visitors were given tours of
the building, and for the first time in many years, the smell of
popcorn welcomed people at the door. Lights were hung on the
marquee, giving us a foretaste of what it will look like when the
lights are restored.
A total of 23 visitors came to the 2nd floor of the theatre
during the open hours ofThursday 4:00 to 6:00, Friday 6:00 to 8:00,
and Saturday 2:00 to 4:00. Volunteers worked276 hours in June.
Youth, staff, and volunteers from Camp Otterbein helped to clean
the building from the 3rd floor to the basement by sweeping,
mopping, and taking out trash.
The Logan-Holl Foundation has given a grant to the Chakeres
Theatre Restoration Corp. to help restore the marquee of the
theatre. The Foundation also gave a grant to the Logan Theatre
Group for paint and lumber to construct sets for plays.
Getting the 2nd floor ready for performances and other events is
a large project, but the Logan community is coming together and
rising to the task. Of course, money donations are needed, but a
few other things would be helpful. They need a file cabinet, two
trashcans, and stackable chairs. (Lots and lots of stackable
chairs.) Anyone able to help with these items?

The Good and Bad of Life
It may seem like an oxymoron but working at FairHoPe has taught
me how to live life to the fullest. After all, who else understands
what is important in life than someone who has actually been
through it, as our patients have? Consider that you dont learn
about marriage by talking to newlyweds because they see nothing but
sunshine and good times ahead. To truly learn about marriage you
need to talk to a couple who have been married for a long time.
Talking to my neighbor, whos been married for 40 years, he
acknowledged that a healthy marriage will have bumps and
disagreements. In fact, he told me that several weeks ago he and
his wife had words. With a wry smile he added that unfortunately he
didnt get to use his. He brought up two points with that comment;
first of all in marriage (and life) there will be disagreements (or
words), and secondly that a sense of humor helps. Even people who
seem to always be enjoying life have had bumps in the road as well
as disagreements with friends and family. Those who are in their
60s or older have experienced much of what life has to offer.
Theyve entered first grade and progressed through the education
system. Theyve entered the job market and retired from it. All have
lost people close to them. All have suffered failures and
disappointments, and all have experienced success and happiness.
Any senior citizen will tell you that old age isnt for cowards. You
have to be strong and maybe a little lucky to make it into the
senior years. I was having an enjoyable conversation with a woman
at Scenic Hills Senior Center who told me that she felt so blessed
to have lived long enough to have her hair turn gray, and to have
both laughs and tears be forever etched into the wrinkles on her
face. Then she said to me that she was always told to respect her
elders but it keeps getting harder to find one. Yes, she was
enjoying life. Talking to patients facing the end of a full life,
Ive found that they have learned to be kinder to themselves and
less critical. Many have seen too many family members and close
friends die, many before they experienced the great freedom that
comes with aging; a freedom to do what you want, when you want. I
remember reading a quote from a woman who was celebrating her 97th
birthday. When asked about what she enjoys at her age she replied,
No peer pressure. FairHoPes patients have helped me to understand
that at any age to enjoy life, you have to deal with both the good
and the bad. I agree with author Rick Warren who described life as
not being a series of good things then bad things happening but
being more like the two rails of a railroad track; at all times you
have something good and something bad in your life. No matter how
good things are in your life, there is always something bad that
needs to be worked on. And no matter how bad things are in your
life, there is always something good you can thank God for.
FairHoPe understands that even though life can appear to be bleak,
there are still good times to be enjoyed. We are a good thing when
life seems to be bad. Remember, celebrate life.

24th annual Lilyfest set for July 10-12 in Hocking Hills
HOCKING HILLS An annual garden, music and art festival that
creates opportunities to tour and learn about hundreds of different
kinds of flowers, trees and gardening techniques is scheduled for
July 10 to 12 in the beautiful Hocking Hills of Southeastern Ohio.
Whether looking for education or touring a few acres of perfectly
landscaped gardens, Lilyfest is one of the premier destinations in
the Hocking Hills region that is known for its beautiful and
colorful outdoor garden designs.
Interspersed throughout the gardens is creative artwork
featuring the talent of 60 well-known artists throughout Central
and Southeastern Ohio. Garden art crafted from local clay, recycled
materials, stone, iron and other materials are available for
purchase, including birdbaths, stepping stones, wood furniture
and more. The annual festival is the culmination of work by
community volunteers, but was created by Bobbi Bishop and her late
husband Bruce 24 years ago. What started as a small garden festival
has grown into an event that hosts 6,000 to 8,000 visitors each
year.
The festival is a community effort because it gives local
artists and gardeners a chance to come together and do something
positive for the community, said Bishop. Thats something Bruce and
I really wanted to do, and its grown with the help of all the
volunteers and our sponsors.
Longtime friend and volunteer Sandy Starner said the gardens
have expanded over the years as new species and features have been
added. When Bobbi and Bruce traveled anywhere, they would come back
with plants. They are the only people I know who could take a dead
tree, turn it upside down, put moss on it, add flowers and turn it
into art, she said.
Starners husband Gary was instrumental in creating several
features within the gardens, including the parking lot and pond.
Volunteering at the annual festival has been such a vast part of
their lives that its become a family tradition for the entire
Starner family, as their children and grandchildren help by selling
homemade ice cream during the three-day festival. Innovative
educational programming and hikes hosted by the Hocking Soil and
Water Conservation District are scheduled, including workshops on
eliminating unwanted wildlife from gardens and how to construct
rain barrels. Workshops in the past have included creating art with
recycled materials.
The main message is that almost everything we have can be
stopped from ending up in a landfill, and we dont necessarily need
all the stuff we buy, said Rebecca Miller, an educational
specialist with the Hocking Soil and Water Conservation
District.
Master gardeners and certified naturalists will be on hand to
answer any gardening or wildlife questions too. We get a lot of
questions on hydrangeas because people see the beautiful ones in
the gardens, said master gardener Marilou Clouse. Clouses husband
Paul is a certified naturalist and said the most common problem
people ask about is how to eliminate deer from eating things in the
gardens. There are about 10 different homemade solutions to the
problem, including peanut butter electric fencing, he said.
Other than that, visitors seem most interested in learning how
to take classes to become a certified naturalist in Ohio. The
Hocking Hills are a pretty great resource if you want to find
anything in nature, Marilou said. We have it all here, and visitors
can come experience Bishop Educational Gardens which is rich with
nature.
Food vendors will be available in the garden, as well as
musicians who will play during the three-day event. Rain barrels
decorated by several Lilyfest artists will be sold at an auction at
this years festival. Hours of this years festival are 10 a.m. to 6
p.m., Friday, July 10, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, July 11, and 10
a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, July 12. The three-day festival is
sponsored by the Logan-Holl Foundation, the Hocking Hills Tourism
Association, Ohio Monthly, and Ron Brown Jr. Financials.

Lancaster City Schools Partners with Fairfield County Juvenile
Court to Implement Truancy Court
LANCASTER, OhioLancaster City Schools, in partnership with
Fairfield County Juvenile Court, will begin holding Truancy Court
at Lancaster High School this fall. Truancy Court is an informal
proceeding where the judge addresses students and their parents
concerning school attendance issues. Truancy Court will be required
for students who have not responded to school-basedinterventions
and who reach 10 or more unexcused absences. Students and parents
will also meet with school and court staff to help remedy the
attendance problems with goal setting, resources and success
planning. We strive to give every student the opportunity to
succeed, and by partnering with the Fairfield County Juvenile
Court, we can reach those students who are struggling to do so,
said Steve Wigton, Superintendent for Lancaster City Schools. The
Truancy Court program will help get thosestudents back in the
classroom and back on track with their academic goals. The program,
a joint effort between the school and court to decrease chronic
truancy and ultimately increase student achievement, is being
modeled after similar programs that have provensuccessful in both
Pickaway and Licking Counties. If the LHS program is effective, it
may also be adapted and/or expanded district- and county-wide. The
Lancaster City School District is focused on student achievement,
safe and secure schools, friendly and responsive staff members, the
responsible use of budget, and innovative technology. The district
serves the educational needs of more than 6,100 children and youth
in our community with a dedicated team of more than 700 employees.
Offices are located at 345 East Mulberry Street in Lancaster. More
information is available at http://www.lancaster.k12.oh.us/.
