Child abuse reports rise nationwide in 1984 study
A new study shows sexual abuse reports climbed 35 percent nationwide in the past year, totaling over 123000 cases of sexual molestation and lifting overall child abuse reports to about 1,273,000 in 1984. Officials warn the rise reflects more reporting, not necessarily more abuse, as stigma lessens and awareness grows.

Lorain County sees quiet industrial rebound with new plants
Cleveland popcorn maker opens 8,500 square foot plant in North Ridgeville while a metal coatings firm moves into a 63,000 square foot building nearby. A backup power systems producer vacates 20,000 square feet to buy the former Harris Graphics building in Elyria, triple its size. Over two years these three firms plus Invacare Corp and others expand total industrial space by about 500,000 square feet, signaling a notable but understated recovery in Lorain County industry. Robert Graham of Logos Development notes the turnaround is dramatic yet largely unseen as small and mid-sized firms drive growth.
