Lorain officials clash over hotel board seats resignations
Lorain County Visitors Bureau president LORAIN-Pat LeMasters and executive Robert Stuart both faced resignation disputes as the Elyria Holiday Inn staff executives remained on the one year old board. A hotel conflict centered on whether two employees from the same hotel could serve on the board, which oversees about 225000 in motel bed taxes. County Commissioner Nabakowski raised the issue in a letter to shape Tuesday's meeting agenda and to address governance amid lingering controversy. Stuart signaled reconsideration after resigning, while LeMasters stayed on as board head to avoid further bad publicity.

Nun Uses Snake Lesson at St. Anthony School
At St. Anthony of Padua School in Lorain a two-foot yellow and black milk snake disrupted class. Teacher Bari Lynn Jefferys turned the encounter into a learning moment for 24 second graders, while principal Sister Rose Alice described the episode and plans for future snake talks. The snake, mistaken at first for a rattler, was removed by a staffer and allegedly disappeared amid debris near a Lake Erie bank. Police did not locate it. In Aurora, Sea World began a $3.1 million Penguin Encounter exhibit to house over 100 penguins with NSF cooperation and glass viewing walls.
