Midview District Prepraises if Levy Passes
Midview district teachers would gain a salary raise starting January if the November levy is approved, with the exact amount to be set later.

The board unanimously approved seeking a $41,000 advance from the Elyria Savings and Trust Bank to cover payroll, noting the need to also justify property taxes to county officials.

Countians Go Underground for Survival Practice

They will bring only a blanket with some carrying a handbag or personal items as they simulate living under atomic emergency conditions. Participants will elect a shelter manager assign roles for fire aid sanitation ration distribution and life-support tasks. Cots will be set, water and food counted, first aid laid out, and radio links established with CD control. The drill emphasizes procedures and human reactions to prolonged confinement in darkness to prepare for potential nuclear warfare. The event is the county CD unit’s second shelter test, following last year’s women and children only exercise. Most participants will enroll in a shelter managers course beginning at 7 pm at CD headquarters, with volunteers welcome.
