Wellington Town Hall in Shapiro book Running Across America
The 1885 Wellington Town Hall with its four faced onion clock is featured in James E. Shapiro’s Meditations From the Breakdown Lane Running Across America. The volume recalls a 1980 Yellowstone Trail run through Wellington and a 1980 Route 18 stop with Harry Lee Sr. and mentions local lore on Edward Payson Weston. The Herrick Memorial Library holds the book as Southern Lorain County Historical Society hosts a quarterly meeting tonight.

Oberlin unimpressed with BFI landfill plan in Russia Township
Browning-Ferris Industries vice president George Brotherton outlined a 242 acre sanitary landfill proposal for Russia Township at a public forum. He claimed verbal Oberlin access rights exist but city officials deny any agreement. Residents questioned hazards, land value, and final use while opposition group Ole funds a petition. The site is planned to last into the mid-1990s with no permit applications yet filed.
