While Jefferson County has thankfully not experienced the historic flooding that neighboring counties have, their struggles are a sobering reminder to act now to prepare for flooding. Jefferson County has many areas that are vulnerable to this threat. The first step is to purchase flood insurance. Federal assistance to private property owners due to flooding impacts is extremely rare, and even when it is provided, it usually is never enough to restore the property to its pre-flood condition. Next, purchase sandbags and sand and have a way to...

This is a three-meat soup that is sometimes a once and a lifetime event. When I was a kid, we were able to have it because there was a lion and tiger that escaped from the zoo. We should have stayed inside the house like the news said, but my grandpa used us as bait. He told us to go play outside as he was hanging out the window with his gun. The lion and tiger did not get shot by my grandpa, but by our buddy John down the street. John did not want the meat to go to waste, so he called my...
Ever wonder what porters did when they weren't working on the Underground Railroad, helping southern blacks migrate to safer climates in the North? In 1921, the Union persevered and slavery was officially a thing of the past. However, Ohio, as did many of the so-called "border-states," still ran an Underground Railroad of sorts; it had long since emerged into the open air of a newly reunited country. These porters, while their work was not as dangerous as that carried on by the likes of Harriet...
