WELLINGTON — From clowns to thrilling rides, small-stage bands, gem mining, the always-popular kiddie pedal pull and of course food, the Lorain County Fair has it all this year. “We’re looking for a full fair. We have a really good week planned, all kinds of fun stuff,” said Kim Meyers, who is in charge of rides and concessions. The Cincinnati Circus will provide jug glers, magicians and acrobatics in its free thrill show. It will run at 1, 4 and 7 p.m. daily during fair week on the west side of the grounds, near Gate 3. Michael’s Amusements of North Caro lina will provide rides. Meyers said there will 20 to choose

"just one week a year," he said.Fair board member Jed Lamb said the fair's mis sion is "to enhance Lorain County through an annual celebration promoting agri culture, education, enter tainment, and to encourage positive youth development and leadership skills." The 176th fair is Aug. 21-28. The Senior Fair was paused during the CO VID-19 pandemic and lost $1.5 million, but the Junior Fair and youth projects were held in a modified way, costing $600,000. The state of Ohio chipped in $100,000 and the Board of Commissioners another $200,000 last year. Revenue also was lost from weddings, events and fundraisers typically held at the fairgrounds that were canceled due to the pan demic.Thefair typically draws 120,000 people from across the country to the fair, Plans revealed for $8M expo center

Those are the two words on ev eryone’s lips when talking about the 176th Lorain County Fair, which runs from Sunday, Aug. 21 to Sunday, Aug. 28. “They’re iconic, something people want to see. When you think about draft horses, that’s what people think of,” said fair board President Rick Ternes. The horses, which have been used in Anheuser-Busch’s mar keting for 89 years, are scheduled to visit the fairgrounds from 2-4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 25. They’re generating a tremen dous buzz for that day, which also offers free admission for seniors ages 65 and up as well as veterans and military personnel withWithID.that excitement building, preparations are underway to spruce up the grounds for what has historically been Ohio’s second-largest fair. Ternes said workers are adding new lighting in the parking lot and making minor fixes to doors and gutters so everything looks perfect when the gates open at 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21. An opening ceremony will be held at 5 p.m. that day with the raising of the flag, music by the 4-H Band and crowning of the Junior Fair king and queen. Bigger-name musical acts will return to the grandstand this year, Ternes said. Struggling with finances in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fair presented a Journey tribute band and rodeo in lieu of bigger headliners. This year, country-pop singer Russell Dickerson will play the main stage at 8 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22 and 1980s power ballad band

ABOUT THE COMMUNITY GUIDE
THRILLS FROM A1 Night Ranger will perform at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 23. The fair board has also moved some traditional grandstand events around: The county tractor pull will be Thursday evening instead of Saturday morning, and the open to the world draft horse and pony hitch pull has been shifted into the Satur day morning slot. The changes were made to increase at tendance for both events, Ternes said. In a rare move by fair leadership, overall attendance in 2021 was kept under wraps last fall. Ternes now says it fell just shy of 100,000 and he believes that 2022 num bers will improve. That’s based on visiting other county fairs in Ohio in recent weeks. “Their crowds are showing good numbers and people are not afraid to be back out,” TernesWhilesaid.COVID all but shut down the fair in 2020 and dampened turnout last year, historically the big factor that drives ticket sales is weather. Ternes said he’s hoping for clear skies and mild temperatures. “We’re just hoping to come back and have a good, safe year, and profitable,” he said. “Everybody can come out and enjoy themselves.”The2022fair may be a nostalgic one, especially for kids who showed animals in the Junior Fair barns. After fair week ends, the grounds are expected to undergo a significant makeover. The Lorain County Fair board has pitched an $8 million construction project it’s calling “Fairs Forever.” It would result in construction of an exposition center on the property’s west side so that events could be held year-round. The project would “make the fair trans formational, rather than having it be in use just a few months a year,” said spokesman Kim Meyers. If fundraising goals are met, the plan is to remove old cattle barns and replace them with a large building and riding arena, he said. The latter would replace Ring A, one of the busiest Junior Fair locations on the grounds.“There’s been a lot of kids that have shown horses there over the years, done a lot of activities there,” so saying goodbye to the riding ring could be difficult, said Meyers.Assuming the project gets an early enough start and weather cooperates, the facility could potentially open in time for the 2023 fair, he said. A fall opening is more likely. The “Fairs Forever” project may make some folks nostalgic, but otherwise won’t have an impact on this year’s festivities, Meyers said.

About 1,500 people from 4-H, Future Farmers of America and other organizations partici pate annually, he said. Wellington Township trustee, veterinar ian and longtime fair supporter Bill Spreng said plans have been made for a threephase expansion of fair facilities starting in 2023. The first is a 45,000-square-foot, cli mate-controlled exposition center with an open floor plan to host year-round events to generate money to pay for the fair. The layout would fit exhibitions, com petitions, trade shows and sporting events. The estimated cost would be $5 million. The second phase involves replacing two existing Junior Fair beef barns with one 14,000-square-foot barn at a cost of $800,000.PhaseThree involves putting $2.2 mil lion into a covered arena and parking lot improvements. The arena could host shows and be a staging area for equine events."Major parking lot upgrades" would handle the increased flow of people, Spreng said. Larry Knoble of Integrated Construction Consultants in Wellington has been hired as construction manager and Patricia Egan of Beyond Fundraising is helping finance the projects. FarmCredit and AgCredit are providing banking services. Construction will start next year "and keep going until the projects are finished," Spreng said. The fair board already has committed $1.5 million to the projects and an ad ditional $500,000 has been donated by individual board members and community supporters. Lamb said the new buildings will help the fair support its core mission of youth engagement, education and lead ership and stabilize its revenue stream. Naming rights also will be available for the proposed buildings, he said. "We're looking for a donor with a very large check," Spreng said, to laughter. A booth inside the main gate at the fair will have literature and renderings, as well as information for potential donors. "We need something for our young people to do besides sit at home and play on a screen," and learning about animals and how to raise them is a "good, healthy, safe activity," Spreng said. "It builds character, builds leadership, builds the ability to care for other things and teamwork," he said. "It's the future of our food," Lamb said.
RETURNS FROM A1
EXPO FROM A1 from — half will be kiddie rides like the Flying Drag on and merry-go-round, and the rest “will be faster and scarier,” he said. Ride company owner Michael Reisinger said the most popular attrac tion is usually the Ver tigo, a 60-foot-tall swing tower. It’s a rush for riders to dangle their feet high in the air, he said. “I think people just want to be entertained, whether it’s a big ride or a little ride,” he said. “They’re looking for fun they don’t get anywhere else.”Ride tickets are $1 each, and each attraction may require several. An unlimited ride stamp is $25, and is good from 1-10 p.m. on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.A$20Kids Day special is available. It’s good for 1-10 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday and 1-9 p.m. Sunday.Meyers said Michael’s was tapped after Bates Brothers Amusements Co. canceled in 2021 due to lack of workers. Without as many car nival operators last year and fewer frills overall because of the pandemic, the fair had scrambled to offer miniature golf and bouncy laser tag. This year’s offerings are much stronger, Meyers said. What makes the fair so popular is that there’s something for everyone, he said — some want to be scared by the biggest rides, while others want to simply see old friends. For Meyers, animals are the biggest draw. He said he loves seeing 4-H members trot goats, pigs, cattle, sheep or ponies into the ring to be judged. “I’ve always thought this is a very special thing that we have,” see ing months of hard work pay off in those moments, heFoodsaid.is always an ingredient for a success ful fair, and the loop will be chock-full of favorite vendors from pre-pan demic years.

The Falcons won the season opener 2-1, scoring both goals in the opening 13 minutes and staving off the Comets for the remainder. Ty Griebe scored first on a corner from teammate Merritt Davis. Shortly later, Grieb set up a header into the net by Alex Urbansky. Amherst didn’t wait long to make its own goal on a pass from Vananthony Trunzo to Andrew McDonald — but Falcons goalie Nathanial Duke had 11 saves to prevent an equalizer.

Every child is our priority, and the staff are our priority too,” he said. “Community members and busi ness leaders are also our priority. Recog nizing that every single person wants to be heard — that’s what we need to do. When we say that Comets are our priority, we meanMolnarit.” found himself in the superinten dent’s chair this year when Steve Sayers announced he would retire after 14 years. The changeover was supposed to happen in November. Then Sayers revealed he had agreed to become interim superintendent of the Kenston Schools in Geauga County, effective Aug. 1. “It’s interesting because I have been here for 10 years and so a lot of people know me, and know that I know the role,” Molnar said. At the same time, he said he never realized how much Sayers handled every day. Molnar wasn’t privy to the scores of emails, pressing calls from principals and emails from parents, coaches and booster clubs.“You really don't know what you get to see until it all starts coming your way, right?” Molnar said. The change in leadership calls for a new “vibe,” he said — but also a new strategy. The district has done a good job of set ting and achieving short-term goals, he said, but it hasn’t always had a strategic plan in place. He believes employees need to have a shared vision, outlined step by step, that they can work toward. Molnar pledged to introduce a five-year plan for academics, policy and facilities. That kind of a road map will be needed as the district considers building a new school to handle projected enrollment increases over the next 20 years. More students are inevitable due to housing construction. Molnar is keeping an eye on development of the “Sandstone” residential and commercial project that will be built between the Ohio Turnpike and Route 113, for example, knowing it will mean hundreds more students over the nextFinancially,decade. the district is in good shape. It is spending less than it takes in, putting the balance into reserve, which Molnar said will stave off the need to ask taxpay ers for more money at least the next couple of years. But inflation is taking a toll. Rising gas and electricity prices have eaten into the budget, as have other material costs. “It's just, we want to stay within the bud get. So we may not be able to everything we did the year before in some cases,” Molnar said. The vast majority of the school system’s overhead is in staff salaries and benefits — negotiations with the Amherst Teachers Association are expected to begin in the spring.Starting this year, Molnar and Walker will create a district leadership team, ask ing teachers, social workers and other staff to help plan for the future. There are also plans to create a maker space at Marion L. Steele High School, though spiraling costs have put renovation plans out of reach for now, said Molnar. Instead, the district has ordered fabrication technology so teens can learn how modern manufacturing works. Molnar said he wants to put a new em phasis on teaching business and marketing skills at the high school. Social media has opened the doors for everyone to be an entrepreneur, if they are taught the basics, heAtsaid.Powers Elementary School, a new special will be added to the roster along side physical education, music and art — students there will attend a class in well ness.Molnar said it will teach kids to take care of their mental and emotional health. Those areas have always been a concern as schools have tried to constrain bul lying, violence, threats, depression and self-harm. The pandemic pulled back the curtain to show just how vulnerable chil dren are to the stresses of the world around them, Molnar said. Like other Lorain County districts, the Amherst Schools have responded by add ing counselors and social workers to the payroll over the last two years. “We're trying to help students so much more than just the academic side,” Molnar said.School is often the place students go for safety and security, he said. “Their teacher is the person they rely on most. And so we want to make sure that they know they can share and there’s help.”
“In America, people want to know that you care. People want to know that they are valued. People want to know that if they need something that someone’s available, someone’s listening.” MICHAEL MOLNAR, AMHERST SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT Photos by

Cooper Guilliams gets into the band’s opening tune during practice Wednesday morning on Washington Street.
AMHERST — Get ready to be “shaken, not stirred” by the sound of the mighty Amherst Marching Comets this season. The band is preparing a spythemed show titled “Agent 54,” with the classic feel of a 007 tale. “It’s got that vibe, that hint of dan ger,” said band director Chris Barba ro last Wednesday morning, standing on the Washington Street practice field next to Marion L. Steele High School. “When you hear it, you’re going to think James Bond. You’re going to think Mission Impossible. And it’s all original music.” It’s not all tuxedos and danger — the band will perform “Industry Baby” for its cheerleader feature and “Live In the Moment” for its color guard feature. On Friday nights under the lights, it will pull out favorites like “Con quistador” and “Funky Town” for the football crowds. Barbaro said 2022-2023 is a rebuilding year for the Marching Comets, which lost a strong senior class to graduation in the spring. The band was undefeated in its last competition season. That was with a full complement of 132 members. This year, it has shrunk to 116, with just 32 seniors compared to 42 incoming freshmen. “I think we’re really strong coming out of COVID, and a lot of schools are noting that it wasn’t last year that was the tough year — it’s this year that’s going to be the tough year,” Barbaro said. While 2022 seniors missed out on ‘Band. Marching band.’

After two years of free breakfasts and lunches for all, most students who plan to hit up the school cafeteria will have to start paying. Congress voted to pick up the cost of school meals during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, that assistant has expired. “I want people to understand that meals are not going to be free for everybody,” said Deanne Kelbley, nutri tion services supervisor for the Amherst Schools. With federal pandemic assistant gone, she said it was necessary to raise prices this year by 10 cents per meal. That’s not much, considering how hard inflation has hit. Like everyone else, schools are dealing with big priceKelbleyhikes.said some costs have doubled this school year. A case of forks, for example, went up from about $8 to $16.
Dealing with shortages Andrea Sokolow, who heads up the Avon Lake City Schools’ cafeterias, saw the same trend in paper prod ucts. This past school year, even finding paper trays was tough, so she ordered what she could from Amazon and went hunting at Sam’s Club for the rest — “Anything I could get my hands on to be able to get lunches out,” Sokolow said. Andrea Helton, director of Nutrition Services for the Wellington Schools, said she had the same problem. Even specific food items were tough to come by, and supplier GFS was often unable to fill orders. “We’d have an idea in our heads of what we’re going to serve, and then the truck comes and a lot of supplies aren’t on board,” she recalls. Sokolow also remembers putting in orders and receiv ing an email with a list of “unavailables.”
“And sometimes the unavailables were quite long,” sheFromsaid.pre-cooked chicken to hamburger to pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, schools countywide saw the supply chain crumble. It’s hard to predict what items will be short in 20222023, Kelbley said. A Tyson representative told her that the company isn’t making specific lunch products, so she expects to make a lot of menu substitutions. “We are still doing our best to meet all the federal requirements, and we’re still staying within the same guidelines. It’s just not with the same items we usu ally get,” she said. Cafeteria workers will have to use different brands and food may hit trays in new sizes and shapes.TheFirelands Schools are preparing parents for longterm shortages. The district’s website warns of problems getting bread, bottled drinks, eggs, condiment packets and other goods. “These shortages may force us to make substitutions

The decision reversed the court's 1973 decision in Roe v.

I be lieve that as the country responds to this ruling the arc of progress and equity will ultimately, in the end, bend towards expansive ness.”InWashington, she told Harris the Dobbs decision is about more than a woman’s right to choose — it is about growing issues of inequity.

To qualify, at least 40 percent of enrolled students’ families must qualify for relief such as food stamps, state work programs, the federal Head Start program, come from foster homes or migrant families, or be homeless or runaways. Next year, Ohio is on track to expand that eligibility to students who receive Medicaid benefits, according to Kelbley. With around just 10 percent of students eligible, Avon Lake does not qualify for CEP, said Sokolow. The dis trict offers free breakfast to students anyway, since there are so few and the cost is so low — between six and 10 students use the option, she said. “Don’t be afraid to fill out those free and reduced forms. You might be surprised,” said Sokolow. “Even if you’re not free, you might be reduced.”

It’s a trend that has a much wider reach than just Am herst. Barbaro said he belongs to a Facebook group for band directors, and COVID’s effect on the younger ranks is complaint No. 1. His goal is to rebuild the ranks over the next few years. Barbaro said that with larger classes moving up, he be lieves the Marching Comets will be back to 130 members “in no time.” For now, he’s focusing on exuding positivity to help the most inexperienced members feel confident.
Those problems have continued through the summer, the SNA said in July. Whole grain breads and low-sodi um entrees that meet basic nutrition standards are still hard to find. “Facing shortages of raw ingredients, labor and truck drivers, food companies and distributors have stream lined offerings and reduced the geographic areas they serve,” it said in a press release. “Meanwhile, shortstaffed school nutrition teams have limited capacity to expand scratch preparation of meals.”

Free and reduced meals Lorain County school systems are making a big push to get families signed up now for free and reduced-cost meals under eligibility programs that existed before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Helton said response so far has been decent. Many parents are flocking to the Wellington Schools’ website to sign up electronically. Others don’t understand why, after two years of free meals, they will now be asked to pay, she said. The cost could be significant for some families. For example, a single sixth-grader at McCormick Middle School in Wellington will pay $3.10 for a lunch this year — that’s $558 to eat every day. Add breakfast at $1.85, and that’s another $333, for a total of $891 for one“Thechild.loss of free school meals puts too many students at risk of going hungry,” said SNA President Beth Wallace. Helton said schools want breakfasts and lunches to be affordable, and would love to make them free. They want kids to be healthy, not distracted by hunger. Some districts are able to continue offering completely free meals to all students. Because of high poverty rates in their areas, Clearview and Lorain City Schools will both do so this year under Ohio’s Community Eligibility Provision program. Certain Elyria school buildings qualify under the national Provision 2 program. Students who attend the Westwood Campus and Hamilton Elementary School will have access to free meals, said Palgut. To qualify for CEP, at least 40 percent of enrolled students’ families must qualify for relief such as food stamps, state work programs, the federal Head Start program, come from foster homes or migrant families, or be homeless or runaways, according to the Ohio Depart ment of Education.
Parents who are unsure about whether they qualify should reach out to their school district, said Kelbley, who leads the Legislation Committee for the Ohio School Nutrition Association. “We want to make it as easy possible so that people feel empowered to do it,” said Helton — parents can fill out applications anytime during the school year, not just in the fall, she said. Kelbley said that even with payment once again re quired, she believes there may be in increase in kids who choose the school menu over packing. Some students never thought about purchasing lunch at school until the pandemic, she said. Once they were free, a lot of families switched over, and Kelbley said she hopes they were won over. “I think a lot of times school meals get a bad reputa tion. Things are different now,” agreed Helton, who is also interested to see whether more students buy meals. A dietitian, she said she often grabs lunch in the caf eteria herself. The price is right and she likes saving the time it would take to pack. Wellington parents who want to see what their kids are eating are even welcome to try a school lunch at the adult price of $4.50, said Helton. A call-ahead to (440) 647-7415 is required.

The U.S. Department of Justice has also brought a suit challenging Idaho’s abortion ban, and “is clearly prepared to do more” to make sure state laws don’t conflict with federal law requiring access to health care, said Harris.

His message fell on the eager ears of 110 brand new educators preparing to start the school year at districts across Lorain County. “Students deserve the best from each and every one of us,” he said. “And you are obligated to give your best.” The advice comes from the very top — Russell is the Na tional Teacher of the Year. Named in April, he is spend ing the year touring the United States, talking about what he’s learned during 25 years working at Oberlin High School. He was tapped as the keynote speaker Friday at the Lorain County Chamber of Commerce’s annual luncheon for new teach ers, held at Lorain County Com munity College. The event is a chance for the business world to show support for the men and women who prepare the county’s workforce, said chamber President Anthony Gallo. They have a vested inter est in seeing teachers succeed. “After all, you guys are in charge of the next generation that’s coming up,” he said. Russell shared his blueprint for success, but said there is “no rocket science” about the way he teaches. The formula is a simple one: Make the curriculum relevant to students’ personal stories, and forge strong relationships so stu dents trust you enough to learn. In Room 200 at Oberlin High School, there have been students who are Black and white, gay and straight, typical and on the spectrum. Russell said when he teaches history, his job is to show people just like them living in the past.“The worst thing that teachers could do is not to include their students,” he said. Russell took his own cues from Oberlin teacher Larry Thomas, the first Black man he ever saw in the Thomasclassroom.started with common kindness, showing interest in each of his students. He also showed up to after-school programs — band concerts, ball games and school plays — showing he cared about more than grades.

Amherst police provided backup, and LifeCare Ambulance paramedics re moved the stun gun probes from Carter. Bosley said no weapons or other contraband was found in the Mercedes. There was no suspicion that Carter was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Nor was Carter wanted on any war rants, Bosley said. Records from Elyria, Lorain and Oberlin municipal courts show Carter has been charged many times over the past decade for driving without a license, as well as other traffic violations. Under Lorain County Sheriff’s Office policy, firing a stun gun — often referred to by the brand name Taser — triggers an automatic review, Bosley said. It will involve looking at footage from the deputy’s cruiser camera as well as reports and other documentation, he said. But unlike a shooting that involves a firearm, deputies are not placed on leave while there is an investigation.
Falling gas prices helped inflation back off slightly in July, according to new numbers released last week by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.Makeno mistake, price increases are still painfully high. But after a 12-month spike of 9.1 percent reported in June, the rolling one-year total dipped to 8.5 percent in July, the federal govern ment’s Consumer Price Index showed. Gasoline has gotten cheaper, coming down from $5 per gallon in June. Pump prices have now fallen every day for two months. The per-gallon average nationally has retreated to $4.01, according to AAA. Ohio residents are faring better at $3.68 per gallon. As a sampling in Lorain County on Wednesday, Aug. 10, prices were: • $3.27 at Circle K on Chester Road in Avon
AMHERST — A man who was alleg edly driving without a valid license was shot with an electric stun gun Friday when a traffic stop led to a brief foot chase, according to the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office. Leeartin Carter Jr., 46, of Lorain, was charged with driving under suspension, obstructing official business and resisting arrest.Arandom registration check led to the stop just before noon on Route 58 near the Amherst-Lorain border, according to Capt. Richard Bosley of the sheriff’s office. Shortly after his silver Mercedes was pulled over, Carter bolted, he said. A chase lasted less than a minute, and ended when a deputy deployed his stun gun, Bosley said.
Oberlin College does not have to pay Gibson's Bak ery the $36 million a court has awarded the Oberlin business while the Ohio Supreme Court decides whether to hear the parties' appeals.Thestate's highest court ruled 4-3 to stay the pay ment of the judgment handed down following a civil trial in 2019 while it considers the case. "This cause is pending before the court as a juris dictional appeal," the Ohio Supreme Court wrote in a brief filed last week, signed by Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor. "Upon consid eration of appellants/crossappellees’ motion for stay, it is ordered by the court that the motion is granted." The court did not give a legal reason for granting theJusticesmotion.Sharon Kennedy, Patrick Fischer and Patrick DeWine dissented from the majority of the sevenmember court and would not have ordered the stay, according to an announce ment by the court. That means O'Connor, a Republican who is retir ing due to age limits, and justices Michael Donnelly, Melody Stewart and Jen nifer Brunner ruled in favor of a Thestay.supreme court's deci sion mostly followed party lines: Democrats Brun ner, Donnelly and Stewart plus O'Connor ruling in favor of the college and its former vice president and dean of students, Meredith Raimondo, and Republi cans DeWine, Fischer and Kennedy ruling in favor of Gibson's theirnessbakerypayauppaymentsareesttheCompanyZurichanNovember.DemocratfacingGov.ofNovember.JamisonlengedO'ConnorinareBrunnerBakery.andKennedythecandidatesrunningNovembertoreplaceaschiefjustice.FischerisbeingchalbyDemocratTeriforhisseatinPatrickDeWine,thesonincumbentRepublicanMikeDeWine,isachallengefromMarilynZayasinOberlinCollegehasappealbondthroughAmericanInsurancefortheamountofjudgmentplusinterintheeventitsappealsunsuccessful.Interestcontinuetoadddaily.TheGibsonshaveaskedcourttoorderZurichtothebond,sayingthemaygooutofbusiiftheappealsdon'tgoway.OberlinCollege has pushed back, as it has asked the Ohio Supreme Court to overturn a 9th District Court of Appeals ruling against it. At trial, a jury found in favor of the longtime Oberlin business, saying the college defamed it after students accused the bakery and its owners of racism in their treatment of Black students.Threeof those students were arrested after Allyn Gibson, son and grandson of the bakery's owners, chased one of them out of the store and fought with him over a shoplifting inci dent in November 2016. The students later plead ed guilty to misdemeanor criminal charges, but not before their fellow students protested the Gibsons, ac cusing them of racism for two days outside the store. The college argued at trial and in subsequent court filings that it was pro tecting its students' rights to free speech under the First Amendment. No witnesses took the stand to say that they were treatedly unfairly by the Gibsons or their employ ees due to their race. The Gibsons put up multiple witnesses who swore that they were treated fairly no matter their race or back ground.

Overall, the Consumer Price Index stayed flat. Low gas price, balanced against higher food and rent costs, proved a wash, the Labor Department said. There are some positive signs — prices for used vehicles, for example, fell 0.4 percent. That’s not much, but it’s moving in the right direction after those prices peaked up 6.6 percent from a year ago.But food is where many families are hurting the most. Grocery prices ticked upward by 1.3 percent from June to July, and are 13.1 percent higher than a year ago. The day the new numbers were released, a pound of thinly-sliced chicken breast was about $7 at Giant Eagle in Amherst, for example. Walmart in Elyria listed ground beef at $4.76 per pound.Cereal and bakery goods are up the most, though, increasing by 15 percent on the year, according to the CPI. Flour has risen by 22.7 percent.Dairyprices have also jumped 14.9 percent, and eggs will cost 38 percent more than they did a year Thoseago.prices may start to decline if gas contin ues to get more affordable, since transportation is big part of the cost passed on to shoppers. gas prices ease inflation

For the most part, predator fish do not school. One exception is this fish. These fish are born into and live in large schools. Circle every other letter to find the name of this fish. Some groups of underwater animals are not called schools. Use the code to find out what each group of animals below is called.
Standards Link: Grammar: Identify nouns.
How do fish swim so close without colliding? Fish use a combination of their senses to create smooth schooling movements. Eyes: Each fish can look forward with one eye while the other is backward.looking Lateral Line: Along each side of a fish’s body there is a line of tiny holes or pores. Tiny hairs inside the pores feel the slightest ripple or movement in the water. This lets fish know when another fish is nearby. If one fish moves in a different direction, all the others sense it and move accordingly.
