☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🏀 Stephen Olowoniyi shines as Southern Indiana defeats Shawnee State.

🌲 A New Mural Spotlighting Smokey Bear Debuts in Portsmouth. The Portsmouth Floodwall has welcomed a fresh mural featuring the iconic Smokey Bear, thanks to a collaboration between the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and artist Robert Dafford. This new addition celebrates Ohio’s heritage in wildland firefighting and showcases the beautiful Shawnee State Forest, also known as “The Little Smokies of Ohio.” The unveiling, marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony, highlights the importance of wildfire prevention in the region, as most wildfires are preventable with awareness and care. Dafford has been painting murals on the floodwall since 1993, with this latest piece joining the ranks of 55 vibrant artworks that tell the story of the Ohio River Valley.
🌳 Greenup County receives disaster declaration. Amid relief efforts following recent severe weather events, Greenup County has officially been granted a disaster declaration by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
