This is the cover of the issue of Allegheny West that my fourth and final article appeared in. The title,"Oakdale's Resiliency Keeps 'America's Hometown' Thriving," reflects that idea behind the piece, which is concerned with Oakdale's rebuilding and rise from the damage caused by a massive flood that swept through it in 2004. I was in high school when this flood hit, and I still remember how everything looked, the aid that the town received, and my own role in relief efforts, so it was especially nice for me to have the opportunity to write about this memorable piece of my hometown's history. The article is posted below.
