Perot drawing broad Ohio support, organizers say
State Republican Chairman Robert Bennett argues Perot would siphon more Democratic votes than GOP. Vane and colleagues in several Ohio cities say petition circulation is easy and Perot's backing has surged across Democrats Republicans unions and minorities. William Sweet notes Perot might sign the Ohio document while Secretary of State Taft reports strong interest with about 100 inquiries. Columbus coordinator Cliff Arnebeck says volunteer media exposure boosts responses and could aid a possible election win.

Sweet's Farms downsizes as foreclosure looms and land sold
Fortune and Gary Sweet, son of the founder, restructure the business after creditors tighten grip and the bank forecloses. They plan to work the land themselves, downsize to 250-300 acres this year, and sell the original 135 acres at sheriff's auction on May 6. The firm pivots to a niche market, keeping a small operation and roadside stands with branded wagons.

Costs rise in Elyria district beyond salaries
The Elyria district spends more on materials as well as salaries. Textbooks have surged from 3.27 to 22.98, language texts from 4.95 to 9.87, saxophones from 2300 to 3000, cellos from 800 to 1200, and drums and risers also up.
