She recalled and reflected on her historic journey of 26-plus years in a recent interview with WKRG. Williams said she takes joy in helping others, and her daughter serves as a big source of inspiration. "When I first got on the fire department, my daughter was only three years old, and I was taking care of her. She inspired me a lot to come here and do what I had to do," Williams said.

Our partners at Betera set out to create beverages that were sophisticated and flavorful enough to drink at cocktail hour but with zero hangover risk. (Their motto is "Drink like there's tomorrow.") Betera's drinks are designed by a Michelin-starred chef using natural botanicals — they're lightly effervescent, sippable, refreshingly bitter and at home in a stem glass or in a highball on the rocks. Betera offers three recipes — Rhubarb-Hibiscus, Elderflower-Lime and Ginger-Orange. We've tried all three and loved them equally — we recommend the mixed case as a great place to start. Betera has extended their 15% discount on first orders to Daily readers, in appreciation for the enthusiastic response so far. Enter Patch15 at checkout and https://bit.ly/TryBetera.
