Famous last words: If not friend, then why friend shaped?

Hmm? Approaching wild animals can drastically affect their well-being and, in some cases, their survival. When an animal is near a campsite, trail, boardwalk, parking lot, on a road, or in a developed area, leave it alone and give it space. We all need space.

P.S. Most wildlife prefer not to carpool. You shouldn’t let them behind the wheel either. They may drive angry.

On Sunday, October 29th, during the City of Logan Trick-or-Treat event, the Hocking County Sheriff’s Office opened the security checkpoint of the Hocking County Courthouse and utilized the x-ray scanner to perform screening scans on candy brought in by trick-or-treaters.


The two Courthouse Security Deputies, who were dressed appropriately for the festivities, performed scans of candy for approximately 80 to 100 individuals. No harmful material was located during the screening of the candy.


Sheriff North requested authorization from the Hocking County Commissioners who overwhelmingly agreed to authorize the courthouse to be opened for the event.
