Lorain school plant sale boosts flower shoppers and plans
Annette McCarty and Margaret Davis bought an $8 planter and filled a trunk with flowers at the Lorain County Joint Vocational School plant sale that opened Monday. The sale runs weekdays 8 to 10 a.m. and noon to 1 30 p.m. It closes Friday but opens May 10, the day before Mother's Day. Beth Berthold notes most plants sell by Mother's Day. Nearby students help customers while Bryant? No. Two local youths express floral industry ambitions. Moss-lined baskets cost 15 dollars and 4 inch annuals 1 50. In Oberlin, City Council approved changes to allow churches to host Family Promise of Lorain County shelters in 10 area churches including Mt. Zion Baptist, Sacred Heart, and First Church United Church of Christ. Shelters require free housing and safety inspections by the Building Department. Fire Chief Dennis Kirin must issue permits. Family Promise president Chuck Leverknight says Elyria Mayor Bill Grace will attend the Day Center grand opening May 8 at 709 Middle Ave., Elyria, where participants will stay with host churches afterward. There are 139 Family Promise programs in 39 states.
