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.

The doctor is in: Newark architect lends a listening ear at farmers market

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
