For children and their families dealing with a cancer diagnosis, there are a myriad of variables that have to be navigated.

Ohio is working on helping families with that process, so that no family or child gets left behind. An organization called AngelWorks is also helping to achieve that mission.

As society largely moves to being paperless, ancient methods of paper making contain rituals rich in cultural heritage. Hanji, an ancient Korean way of making paper, is meditative for some and is being kept alive by an artist from northern Ohio.

This Saturday is National Talk Like a Pirate Day. Pirate life is a romantic way to live. A passion for pirates is what inspired two Buckeye Lake residents to start the Buckeye Lake Pirate Festival.
