Ely Park Terrace townhouse complex approved by Elyria Commission
Elyria Planning Commission approved rezoning for a 17.66 acre site north of the Ohio Turnpike and east of Lake Avenue for a 288 unit townhouse complex named Ely Park Terrace. First phase would add 128 two and three bedroom apartments, with eight to nine play areas and a day care center. Objections cited include lack of design control, conflict with the future land use plan, and high density impact on nearby schools. The project moves to city council for study and possible recommendation by year end.

AmShip seeks court halt to Lorain wildcat strike
The American Ship Building Co. moved to stop a wildcat strike idling about 900 workers at its Lorain shipyards. A temporary restraining order was issued by U.S. District Court in Cleveland barring unions from work stoppages and contract breaches. The dispute followed the firing of a rigger from Boilermakers Local 358 after he refused an assigned job. No talks have been scheduled as unions, including Machinists, comply with the Boilermaker action. A Thursday Cleveland hearing will determine the order’s enforcement.

Five area post office employees retire with 6 percent pension boost
Five longtime postal workers retire today after 36 years apiece, taking advantage of a new 6 percent federal pension incentive for retirees by June 30. They are Avon Lake postmaster Joseph Bellissimo, Elyria assistant postmaster Harold Olmstead, Wellington postmaster K Norman Roesemann, Elyria civil service examiner Vane Shaw, and Amherst postmaster Merrill Walker. Walker says the plan aims to place older, experienced staff in the system, though he would have earned the same pension in three more years.
