Muskingum County • October 15, 2025
Good morning, Muskingum County. Art is creating bridges across continents right in our backyard. Muskingum University's Louis O. Palmer Gallery is currently hosting a remarkable exhibition where local high school artists from John Glenn, Zanesville, and other Ohio schools are showcasing their work alongside peers from Chinese institutions. This cultural intersection of creativity runs through November 13, offering a unique window into how young minds from vastly different backgrounds express themselves through art and science.
From cultural connections to dramatic comebacks, Steubenville's girls soccer team showed remarkable resilience by overcoming a 2-0 deficit to defeat Zanesville 8-2 in their playoff opener. Meanwhile, the community united for a powerful cause during the annual "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" event, where participants marched around downtown Zanesville to raise awareness about domestic violence. As prosecutor Ron Welch noted, true justice begins with understanding—a principle evident across all three of this week's stories.
