Does this need to be moved?

No. Actually, your problem is somewhat different. In 10.4, the new method for running scheduled tasks is launchd. For more info...

man launchd

man launchctl

How to I put a message to the console log file in my script? 

use echo e.g.

echo "We are all in this together. So, lets be nice to each other."
