Those interested should submit a logo design by 4 p.m. Feb. 6 to Kristy Marshall at 2186 N. 600 East in North Logan.
Submissions should reflect the NLHMA’s vision to contribute to the success of non-profit home-based businesses while fostering the neighborly atmosphere, according to the NLHBA Web site.
David Benson, NLHBA president, said, “Being that we are relatively new, we are looking for an official logo and we thought it would be fun to let Logan residents be a part of that.”
All entries need to be a finished product and camera ready. The winner will receive a dinner for two at Chili’s in Logan and two movie tickets to Movies 5 in North Logan. The winner will be announced Feb. 7 at 4 p.m. in the North Logan City library. For more information, visit www.northloganhba.org or contact Marshall at 753-4906 or Benson at 787-2521.

Campus labs to use recycled paper
The Computer Fee Committee of Utah State University approved a switch to recycled paper in all the open-access computer labs on campus Tuesday.
These eleven computer labs are funded by a computer fee that is assessed to all students every semester. According to a press release from the Ecological Coalition of Students, the labs consume thousands of reams of paper every year.
The committee approved a 20-cent increase in the semester computer fee to fund the switch.
The move comes in response to a resolution by the Associated Students of USU, which recommended last week that the university switch to recycled paper.
Professor looks at Hopi photographs
Utah State University professor of English and editor of Western American Literature, Melody Graulich will present, “I Became the Colony: Kate Cory’s Hopi Photographs” on Jan. 15 at 12:30 p.m. in the USU Haight Alumni Center.
A light lunch will be served and everyone is invited. The event is part of the Department of English Speakers Series.
As a specialist in Western American literature, Graulich has explored the roles of gender and cultural diversity in the American West, focusing primarily on the experience of women. She notes that “life in the west has provided women, including Kate Cory, opportunities to walk off society-made values.”
The Department of English Speakers Series was established to promote the value of arts and humanities in American public life. The series features faculty research accomplishments and noted visiting authors sharing their work, according to a USU press release.
