🏆 Tornadoes triumph

Muskingum County • September 29, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Muskingum County. The sound of a shutout victory echoes across Zanesville's soccer fields as the Tornadoes blanked Westfall 3-0 in an impressive defensive showcase. That same defensive precision might be needed for drivers navigating upcoming road closures, with County Home Road shutting down September 29 and changes coming to the I-70/I-77 interchange in early October. These temporary inconveniences make way for community highlights like the returning Paul Bunyan Show, where lumberjack championships and timber demonstrations will transform the fairgrounds October 3-5.

Amid these community happenings, a somber note reminds us of life's fragility. A head-on collision in Perry County claimed the life of 32-year-old Donald Bernard when his Honda crossed the center line Saturday afternoon. As one family mourns, another maintains vigil at Grant Medical Center, where the second driver remains in stable condition after being airlifted from the scene. The Ohio Highway Patrol continues investigating what led to this tragic accident near state Route 13.
