Walk of Honor celebrates veterans at Elkton Middle School
ELKTON — Students and staff at Elkton Middle School lined the hallways Wednesday morning, American flags in hand, and cheered as U.S. military veterans walked past. Jilene Orman, community school advisor, said this was the first year the school on North Street invited veterans to the school for the Walk of Honor. “It was an honor making everyone feel special,” Orman said after the line of veterans representing several generations and branches of service, accompanied by a student from the school — in most cases their child, grandchild or godchild — walked through the halls. Some of the students presented the veterans with handwritten thank you cards from the 6th grade. “It meant a lot to me,” said Cory Fairfield. He made the Walk of Honor accompanied by his son Bryce, 12, and his daughter Lyric, 3. “I wanted to show my son I served this country and that he can serve too,” he said. Fairfield was in the Army from 2011 to 2013, serving in the 160th Special Operation Aviation Regiment. “It was awesome,” said Michael Wolf, who served in the Marine Corps from 2004 to 2008. The corporal’s service included deployment to Iraq, where he worked in vehicle

Rainbow Records is first business to receive approval for live music under new law
Rainbow Records is the first business in Newark to be licensed as a live entertainment venue under a new law that overturned the city's de-facto ban on live music. The special-use permit, which city council approved unanimously on Monday, allows the business to continue holding small concerts inside the store featuring local bands. Owner Melissa Forsythe said she has hosted a handful of shows each year since moving Rainbow to its current location in Pomeroy Station off Main Street in 2019. "We didn't know we weren't supposed to be doing live music events there, so that is my bad," Forsythe told council members. When hosting a show, Rainbow moves its product display cases outside to make room for people to gather inside. The shows, which are capped at 49 people, start at 6 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. to avoid running afoul of nighttime noise restrictions. Rainbow does not serve food and strictly bans alcohol, meaning the shows are open to all ages. "It really can't be overstated how important it is right now to have safe spaces for young people to go so that they are not out causing trouble," Forsythe said. "I always have myself, somebody who's

SPORTS BUZZ: Newark Charter's Timmie Claessens taking it one mile at a time
Timmie Claessens’ long-distance running season last year ended on a high note when he won the 3200 race with an 18-second personal best time of 9:19.73 at the Meet of Champions. “It gave me a little boost and gave me confidence to what I could do and motivated me to work even harder in the summer,” said Claessens, a student at Newark Charter School. “And coming off a good summer of training always feels good.” Claessens’ senior cross-country season got off to a great start when he won the team’s first 5k meet at the White Clay Creek Classic on Sept. 11. He followed that up a week later with a second-place finish at the Spartan Moonlight Classic. In October, Claessens’ performances started to dip. He placed third at the Manhattan Cross-Country Invitational and fifth at the Joe O’Neill Invitational. “At that point. I wasn’t feeling too great,” Claessens reflected. “I was sick for a month, and wasn’t feeling good heading into the Joe O’Neill meet.” After that race, Claessens had 12 days before he would run in the Diamond State Conference Championship. “I looked at that time as a reset,” Claessens explained. “I knew we’d be back at White

The doctor is in: Newark architect lends a listening ear at farmers market
It’s a warm Sunday morning at the Newark Natural Foods farmers market, and nestled between a produce stall and a bakery stand in the parking lot of Newark Shopping Center, Willard Hurd is talking a young man through his girlfriend troubles. The sign above him reads “ARCHITECTURAL HELP, 25¢,” but it turns out people don’t always fully read the sign. Surprisingly, the college-aged man unloading his troubles isn’t an unusual case for Hurd. Since he set up his booth nearly 17 years ago, Hurd has spent most of his Sundays answering questions about solar panels and home additions, but Hurd said every once in a while someone, seeing open seats and a smiling face behind them, will come to him with more personal problems. Playing psychiatrist has just become an occasional part of the job. “I’ve had a dozen or so people who just needed someone to talk to, and I was there, so they sit down,” Hurd said. “I’ve got nothing else going on, not a line of people, so let’s do this.” Hurd, 59, an architect and chair of the Newark Planning Commission, said he started his booth at the farmer’s market in 2009. He had just been
