Volunteers Needed
 The Village of Amanda, Village of Stoutsville,& Amanda, Clearcreek, Hocking, and Madison Townships are looking for volunteers for an area joint debris management team.  The villages and townships are developing a joint plan in the event of a disaster.  The joint venture would bring together these communities so they can help each other coordinate removal of the debris after a disaster. 
 These volunteers would need to be over 18 and have a valid driver?s license.  They would also have to be available to attend CERT Training (Certified Emergency Response Team) in October (4 evening classes and one Saturday).  We are looking for individuals that are not already involved with the fire or emergency rescue services.  This team will be clearing the streets so rescue operators can get through along with clearing and separating all the debris related to the emergency. 
 Hopefully we would never need to deploy this team but we would like to be prepared just in case. If you would like more information contact someone from your village or township or contact Carrie Ayers the Joint Area Debris Manager and Area Coordinator at 740-969-4771

The village is applying for a grant to build a restroom/concession/storage building at our park.  The EPA has mandated us to get rid of our existing concession storage building because they are to close to our wells for the water plant.  The EPA has mandated a 300 ft Well Head Protection Area.
