Back when I was a kid growing up in the wooded hills of southern Ohio, I enjoyed a traditional summer sport again and again, which was nighttime seeking of channel cats. On these nocturnal forays, several uncles and I would head for the Big Scioto River, traveling down a tractor path to near the water and setting up shop on a sandbar. We baited our rods along one big pool or another with purchased raw shrimp or hand caught nightcrawlers or minnows seined from a local creek. Then gathered plenty of driftwood for a crackling fire, and spent half the night fishing, laughing, telling stories, and catching fish. Good memories.

A landslide has closed the east traffic lane on SW 4
th Street about two blocks south of Laurel Street. The road remains open as there is still room for two travel lanes. City engineer Jeff Hulsether urges motorists to use caution as the area is still unpredictable. It appears to be a case of poor fill material used in 1964.
