Midview flexes its muscle against Elyria
ELYRIA — Upfront. That’s where football games are usually won. It was no different Friday night, as Midview controlled the line of scrimmage for a 13-7 opening-night win over Elyria at Ely Stadium. The Middie defense threw a blanket over the Pioneers all night. Elyria’s rushing total was in the negative [...]

They can, however, shine a light on just why there’s such optimism surrounding it. On one hole at Forest Hills, a 320-yard [...]
Frye the guy as Browns prepare for dress rehearsal
DENVER — For most NFL teams, the third preseason game is the dress rehearsal. The starters play a half or three quarters, as they try to fine-tune things in their last significant action before the regular season. The Browns aren’t most teams. Most teams aren’t still trying to pick a starting quarterback. “Our [...]
Cuts ahead for Elyria fire station staffs
ELYRIA — Elyria officials say minimum staffing levels at the city’s fire stations will be “indefinitely” reduced from 17 to 14 on Monday to help the fire department make budget this year, but Elyria Fire Chief John Zielinski warns the move will put the safety of residents and fire crews at risk.

Advocates work to protect firefighters
Ask any folks who were in Lorain County on June 24, 1971 —they’ll probably say that four shipbuilders were the only lives engulfed in the fiery bowels of the ore ship Roger Blough when a blaze erupted inside the docked vessel at American Shipbuilding Co. in Lorain.
