Breakthrough to Literacy trial in Elyria gains praise
In an Elyria kindergarten class, six year old Jennifer Plas reads from a small booklet arranged with word cards under teacher Michele Steffan-Roth. The 60 site trial of Longman’s Breakthrough to Literacy shows promise as pupils rapidly acquire word reading and compose simple sentences, though critics caution against viewing it as a universal solution.

Sparkle Market Expansion Plans Await Zoning Change
After four years of planning Bob's Sparkle Market at 422 Lake Ave Elyria would be replaced by a store more than three times larger if the City Council approves rezoning from residential to business. The Planning Commission recommended the change, with construction possible by Aug 15 and new jobs expected. The 8,300 square foot store will be built behind the current one, then the old market torn down, while parking and wider aisles are planned. Lorain County approved 450,000 in industrial revenue bonds for the project. Harold says the family has run the store about 30 years and plans to keep it open during construction with completion in three months.
