               175TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LOGAN DAILY NEWS

                         Monday, July 24, 2017

  Mr. STIVERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the people of 
Ohio's 15th Congressional District to recognize the 175th Anniversary 
of the Logan Daily News. Nearly as old as the City of Logan itself, the 
Logan Daily News has been dutifully and continuously informing its 
readership since June of 1842.
  Under the leadership of S.W. Tucker and Robert Wright, the Hocking 
Sentinel was born. The paper saw success that its controversial 
predecessor had not experienced, and continued to grow. In 1960, 30 
paperboys dispersed the news of the day; today, 12 delivery routes are 
still covered as the publication successfully adapts to the digital age 
of media. While its name, publishers, and mediums have changed over the 
years, the Logan Daily News' commitment to producing timely and factual 
reports for the people of Logan and Hocking Valley has been steadfast.
  The Logan Daily News influence extends well past its pages. It is a 
true partner in the community, sponsoring events like Backyard BBQ and 
Rib Ruckus, the Washboard Music Festival, and the Hocking Valley 
Community Hospital Golf Tournament. Additionally, the Logan Daily News 
encourages youth through partnerships with 4-H and the County Fair 
Board. It supports the local economy through involvement with the 
Hocking Hills Chamber of Commerce, Hocking Hills Tourism Association,

Logan Town Center, and the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce.
  I am honored to recognize the Logan Daily News, its reporters, 
editors, and publishers on this momentous occasion, and I wish them 
many more successful years and editions.
