Britain imposes total Falklands blockade and targets Port Stanley
United Press reports Britain will enforce a total air and sea blockade around the Falkland Islands starting Friday at 7 am. The 200 mile blockade radius mirrors the existing sea ring, with Port Stanley airport at risk of attack. The Defense Ministry warned Argentine ships and aircraft inside the zone will be treated as hostile, and the island's airfield may be struck to cut access to the mainland. Thatcher held emergency talks as Britain signals further action under UN rights. One Argentine detainee of 140 captured in South Georgia died in a separate incident.

Lorain County trims sheriff layoffs to 14 with funding move
Lorain County Commissioners cut sheriff layoffs from 41 to 14 without tax hikes by creating a special unemployment fund and reallocating 70 000 to the department. About 25 000 of the increase comes from higher jail per diem charges. 25 000 more from the county’s gasoline fund. Officials hope further funds exist to erase remaining layoffs while awaiting budget updates. The action reverses a prior stance limiting spending, and Deputy shortages remain potential.
