Columbus-belmont state park, CIVIL WAR DAY'S October 11-13 2019
On November 6, Grant moved by riverboat from Cairo, Illinois, to attack the Confederacy's small outpost near Belmont, Missouri across the Mississippi River from the Confederate stronghold at Columbus, Kentucky. He landed his men on the Missouriside and marched to Belmont. Grant's troops overran the surprised Confederate camp and destroyed it. However, the scattered Confederate forces quickly reorganized and were reinforced from Columbus. They counterattacked, supported by heavy artillery fire from across the river. Grant retreated to his riverboats and took his men to Paducah, Kentucky. The battle was relatively unimportant, but with little happening elsewhere at the time, it received considerable attention in the press, with southerners praising it and northerners lamenting the Union defeat.[

Exploring river town Columbus, Kentucky
Western Kentucky's oldest town, this small hamlet has seen its rise and fall throughout history. One could compare the volatility of the town's past with the wildly unpredictable Mississippi River, which plays a major role in the town's history. Today we explore a small portion of Columbus, around the river bank, a few back roads, but first, we check out the Iron Banks Lodge.

Crossing the Mississippi River on a ferry from Hickman, Kentucky to Missouri. The Dorena-Hickman Toll Ferry is one of the few remaining riverboat ferries in the United States and the only operating ferry crossing the Mississippi River between Missouri and Kentucky. Just wanted to do a fun video of it all.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Norfolk Southern & CSX Freight Trains In Columbus, Ohio!
This Motel 6 has a perfect view of the Norfolk Southern ( N&W ) and the CSX ( B&O ) mainlines out of Columbus Ohio. I filmed this on March 22 and 23rd 2016 in Columbus Ohio. I stayed 2 nights at the Motel 6 off Sinclair Ave. right next to the Norfolk Southern and CSX main lines. I had to attend a 3 day training conference in order to maintain my state RS certification. I was a government employee for 20 years. These are only a few of the trains that I saw. It would be too long of a video if I added any more of them. Anyway, please rate, comment and subscribe to Jawtooth!

Hellbenders Released in Ohio
Call them snot otters, devil dogs, mud cats, mollyhuggers or Allegheny alligators but a team of Ohio conservationists are dedicated to making certain the endangered eastern hellbender is never called extinct.
The first release of human-reared hellbenders in Ohio occurred on Jun. 15, 2012 and marks an important step in the Ohio Division of Wildlife's Conservation Plan to reverse the precipitous decline of the species by expanding their range into previously occupied streams to eventually establish multiple self-sustaining populations in Ohio.
The nine released hellbenders were reared in a dedicated hellbender facility at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium from eggs collected in 2007 by the Oglebay Good Zoo (Wheeling, WV). They were released into a stream in eastern Ohio where hellbenders were once found. The stream was once severely impacted by pollution but has since recovered and is one of the highest quality waterways in the state.
Scientists from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources released the hellbenders after Zoo veterinarians performed health screenings and surgically implanted radio-transmitters to enable the animals to be tracked. Blood samples and skin swabs will be collected from the released hellbenders at the end of the summer and compared with those collected prior to the release. Veterinarians from the Columbus Zoo and the Wilds have been conducting research on the health of Ohio and West Virginia hellbenders since 2006. Data from this project will inform future hellbender reintroductions in Ohio.
The release of the hellbenders is the culmination of a partnership involving several Ohio institutions and agencies. Since 2006, the Ohio Hellbender Partnership has been regularly meeting to discuss hellbender conservation in the state. The partnership includes representatives of:
· Ohio Division of Wildlife
· Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
· the Wilds
· Oglebay Good Zoo
· Ohio EPA
· Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District
· Belmont County Soil and Water Conservation District
· United States Fish and Wildlife Service
· Toledo Zoo
· Akron Zoo
· Ohio University, Eastern
Larval hellbenders from an egg mass collected in Ohio in 2011 are currently being reared at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and will be used for future releases. The partnership's capacity to rear hellbenders is being increased through renovations and expansions of facilities in Ohio zoos.
The eastern hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis) is the largest amphibian in Ohio and one of the largest salamanders in the world, reaching a total length of up to 25 inches and weighing nearly three pounds. With their wrinkled body and tiny eyes, the hellbender is supremely adapted to a life spent mostly under large rocks in rivers and large creeks where they feed on crayfish and take in oxygen through their highly vascularized skin.
A 2006-2009 survey of the eastern hellbender in Ohio determined an 82% decline in the relative abundance of individuals in streams where they were found during surveys conducted in the mid-1980s. In the Ohio watersheds where hellbenders remain, populations consist of only old, large individuals, indicating the lack of successful reproduction. Most remaining populations in Ohio do not appear self-sustaining and without intervention the hellbender will likely disappear from Ohio waterways.
The hellbender is an important part of Ohio's natural heritage and their presence indicates clean water and healthy habitats. Causes of the hellbender's decline include impoundments (dams), excessive siltation, pollution, disease, and persecution and collection. The species ranges from New York to Georgia and west to Missouri and were once found throughout the Ohio River drainage basin, including the Ohio River. Similar population declines have been noted by researchers throughout the hellbender's range, and the species is considered threatened or endangered in most states.
Funding for this project was provided by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service through a State Wildlife Grant, donations to the Division of Wildlife's Diversity Program, and the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium's Conservation Fund.
