Class 2A/1A North Round 2 No. 5 Rising Sun at No. 1 Elkton: Friday, 7 p.m. Last Meeting: Elkton 59, Rising Sun 10; Sept. 25, 2026 Outlook: Two familiar region opponents square off in a second round matchup Friday night, as Elkton hosts Rising Sun with a trip to the state tournament on the line. Friday’s meeting will mark the fourth time in the last six seasons that the two schools have met in the postseason. Elkton won the pair’s last postseason matchup 40-13 in Nov. 2024. The two schools also met in Week 4 of this season, when Elkton used a 39-point second half to score a 59-10 victory. Elkton enters this week fully rested, as the Golden Elks had a bye for the first round of the region playoffs by virtue of having the No. 1 seed in Class 2A/1A North. The last time Elkton took the field, it capped off its second consecutive undefeated regular season with a 36-0 win over C. Milton Wright. Elkton will begin its postseason run led by quarterback Ziel Cleveland, who leads the Golden Elks in both passing and rushing yards. Cleveland has thrown for 1,924 yards through the air and 402

Newark moves speed camera to South College Avenue
Newark’s speed enforcement camera has moved to South College Avenue. The camera is located just north of the railroad bridge, near Ivy Hall Apartments, between Holton Place and Ritter Lane. It is aimed at northbound traffic, i.e. cars heading from the area of STAR Campus toward Main Street. The location of the camera is just a short distance past where the speed limit drops from 35 mph to 25 mph. For the first 30 days, drivers caught speeding will receive warnings. After that warning period, speeders will be mailed a ticket. Fines will be issued to any vehicle that the camera captures going at least 11 miles per hour over the speed limit, meaning fines will begin at 36 mph. Fines start at $31 and increase based on how fast the driver was going. Violations issued through the automated system are civil penalties. They do not add points to a driver’s license and do not impact insurance rates. The city has one camera and intends to continue moving it around between 15 approved locations. It was first installed on Hillside Road in March and then moved to Capitol Trail and later Casho Mill Road. As of September, the camera had

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

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

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
