Volunteers Needed The Village of Amanda, Village of Stoutsville,& Amanda, Clearcreek, Hocking, and MadisonTownships 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

Community Watch Program
Volunteers Needed
The village is starting a community watch program and would like to get volunteers from our community to participate in the program. The application and the information pamphlet are at the village’s municipal building at 116 E. Main St..You can pick it up during regular business hours 8-2 Monday- Thursday.Every volunteer will have to meet the Fairfield County Sheriff’s office qualifications and undergo a training course.
WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED- THIS PROJECT WILL BEGIN WHEN ALL THE PAPERWORK IS COMPLETE. WE WILL THEN GO OUT FOR BIDS.
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. We have picked a spot at the park that is outside the protection area. Now the thing is coming up with the funds.This grant we are applying for will cover 75% of the cost of the project.To cover the remaining 25% we are looking for donations of money, material, or labor for the project. At this time what revenue we bring in for the park goes to pay for the Port-O-Johns.So any donation will help. The village has agreed that anyone donating toward the project will have their name/company name placed on the building after it is finished.This is a great advertising opportunity. Please contact Ralph Martin at the number above.
