Layoffs Follow Board Move To Scrap Food Service
In Lorain County a school board abolished all supervisory civil service positions and laid off cafeteria workers as it voted 3-2 to scrap the district food service program. Audiences clapped and jeered while officials said the ARA would hire current workers at lower wages and offer interviews to locals.

Weather delays Endeavour return from orbit to Kennedy
Unsettled weather keeps space shuttle Endeavour and its six crew in orbit for an extra day. Low clouds blocked two Kennedy Space Center landing attempts and rising temperatures plus threat of storms kept flight directors from risking a touchdown. The crew led by Ronald Grabe will target Kennedy at 7:59 am EDT Wednesday with Edwards Air Force Base as backup and will retry the payload bay doors as heat dissipation remains a concern.
