CORRESPONDENCE UNIONPORT By Mary-Catherine Mull On Monday, Oct. 11, the business meeting of Wayne Township Community Center Inc. will be held in Unionport at 7 p.m. in the community center (the old Unionport school). It’s open to the public. Douglas Applegate, the late Congressman in Columbus, Ohio and Washington D.C., was a wonderful person. He really helped Unionport and the surrounding area with his legislative concerns, such as senior citizens, veterans, disabled, travel, tourism, and much more. He also attended our many local events. Festival in the Woods at Richmond Park was enjoyed by many from here. Mr. and Mrs. Jeremy McClure and family of Columbiana County visited recently with Joe and Emily Cola and families. Read First Chronicles 7:14. Bible study will be held at the Unionport Methodist Church Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Unionport. It’s open to the public; everyone’s welcome. FLUSHING By Judy Holmes The lobby of WesBanco is finally open. I hope it stays that way! A fall festival will be held on Saturday, Oct. 23, in the Methodist Church dining room from 4–6 p.m. with free food, games, pumpkin painting, and more — lots of activities on Oct. 30! And the Alliance Church will have “Truck or Treat” beginning at 4:30 p.m. with free hot dogs and drinks. Then trick or treat in town will be on Oct. 30 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. After trick or treat, bring the kids to the fire department’s cakewalk from 7–9 p.m. Tickets are 12 for $1. A concession stand, games, and costume contest round out the evening. Kristina Estle, director of the Underground Railroad Museum — Ohio Valley, has completed mapping 25 underground railroad stops in Belmont County. One of the stops was in Flushing at the Holloway House. This house was located outside the corporation on Old Cadiz Road and was torn down a few years ago. This is what she wrote about that house: “Jacob and Isaac Holloway worked with the Bransons and Kirks, all of Flushing. Runaway slaves would climb up a ladder into the attic window at night, where Jacob Holloway would care for them and prepare them for the next leg of their journey. Isaac Holloway would take them via covered wagon at night to either Freeport or Moorefield in Harrison County.” The American Legion Post 366 will participate in a special service at the United Methodist Church on Sunday, Nov. 7 at 11:15 a.m. to honor all veterans for Veterans’ Day. A covered dish dinner is planned after the service. Everyone is welcome to attend. Our sincere sympathy to two families of Flushing High School Alumni who passed last month in Texas. Jessie Lendon Smyth from the Class of 1957 and Judy Harper Jackson from the Class of 1964.

Beallsville for homecoming Friday night, and volleyball will have Senior Night on Oct. 12. A good crowd turned out for CV alumni night with a tailgate party, tour of the new addition, and banquet. Thanks to the committee who worked so hard to make the weekend a success. Mrs. Joy (Gilchrist) DeFazio and Joe Gilchrist, a friend from Charleston, South Carolina, visited the area and attended the alumni banquet. They were former residents of the Bowerston area. Everyone is sharing prayers and get well wishes to Kaleb Grezlik because of his recent serious illness.

Emma Legget, daughter of Derek and Holly (Cunningham) Legget, took 3rd place in her division for the market show! She received the top beginner breeding swine award and advanced market swine award. And she won in her age division for showmanship, then went back and won overall supreme swine showman and 5th overall show of showman. Robin Spears of Freeport won the mustache and beard contest at the Pumpkin Festival in Barnesville this year.

At Clark Memorial Library in Freeport, the book club will be on Oct. 12 at 4:30 p.m., and the fitness fun class will be each Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30 p.m. SMITHFIELD By Esther McCoy I saw a story on Facebook that brought tears
when I read about a farmer who had to finish combine work the following day when a piece of equipment broke down. And it’s something that was just meant to be because he has a memory that he will not forget. While going around past the fence that bordered the road, he noticed a car sitting alongside the field. He stopped and asked if something was wrong. The driver said she had her three grandchildren from Florida up for a visit, and she wanted them to see farming in action. The farmer offered the children a ride around the field. The boys were excited and agreed, while the girl declined. Stopping after the trip, he asked the girl why she didn’t want to go. She said that her brothers said farming was not for girls. “They are wrong,” explained the farmer. “There are girl farmers too,” so the young miss agreed. The farmer let her navigate at one point, which put a smile on her face that would light up New York City. The grandmother was filming the entire event with a big smile of pride, as well. You can imagine the little miss having a different attitude about farming when she alighted from the tractor. Being quiet while her brothers enjoyed themselves, she was now a chatterbox of joy. If the equipment had not broken down the day before, he would not have been out in the field, and the grandmother, boys, girl, and most of all, the farmer, would not have been there to enjoy such an experience. This year, the Buckeye Local Panthers have had some bad luck with COVID-19 restrictions, but they won the Caldwell football game on Oct. 1. I could understand the frustration when it happened two times after they had practiced so hard. I’m excited about watching the World Series playoff and then the playoffs for the winner. Not any of my first-of-the-season teams are in the group, though. I have a bookmark that lists life principles to live by from Dr. Charles F. Stanley. One of the 30 is that God does not require us to understand His will, just obey it — even if it seems unreasonable at the time.

One can stop by the fish fry on Oct. 8 to get a pass or check with anyone in the fire department — savings for you and a donation to help the fire department. Any questions, check out the Holloway Fire Dept. Facebook page. On Friday, Oct. 8, the Holloway Volunteer Fire Department is sorry that the fish fry was canceled. There just wasn’t enough help. Thank you to all who donate their time to pull off these fish fries. The next fish fry is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 12 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. (eatin or carryout).
