Good morning, Elyria.

Jim Ziemnik, director of Lorain County Metro Parks, said that Oberlin Splash Zone has cut its pool hours due to a lifeguard shortage and will offer Red Cross certification classes to train parents as volunteer lifeguards.

The pool is reaching out to local community members & nearby pools to boost its staff for the summer.

Elyria police arrested 20-year-old Tyler Jalowiec early Friday for multiple felony drug charges including trafficking in fentanyl, possession of fentanyl, drug paraphernalia and criminal tools after they searched his Case Avenue home for the third time in three years while he was on probation for prior charges.

A man wanted for murder in Sandusky is behind bars after a brief SWAT standoff at a Lorain home — he left the house voluntarily and police took him into custody without further incident.

Fans in Northeast Ohio filled theaters to watch the new Superman movie that was filmed at iconic Cleveland sites—Public Square, Progressive Field, and City Hall—and received strong praise for mixing action with local heritage.

Critics and viewers noted that the film highlights the city’s unique architecture and continues drawing crowds to theaters.

After a year-long pilot, the Lorain County Board of Commissioners extended the successful Via LC rideshare service through July 2026 using funds from grants, the transportation budget, and contributions from Elyria and Lorain.
