Shelby High School head custodian rescues fishermen on sinking boat in Lake Erie

Lake Erie water was rough with 4-foot waves

A Shelby High School custodian on Saturday morning rescued four fishermen just in the nick of time from their sinking boat on Lake Erie.

Larry Stacklin, 57, of Tiro, said it was just the right thing to do and he didn't assist the men for any publicity during the Saturday morning rescue.

"I've been on the other side myself," he said Tuesday.

He and his wife and brother-in-law were out fishing once and their boat took on water and he had to call the Coast Guard for help.

Six dogs relocate to Ohio from Florida humane society

Six dogs were among those flown from Florida to Ohio on Oct. 12 to make room at a humane shelter for dogs and cats being displaced after Hurrican Milton.

Sandusky County Dog Warden Kelly Pocock and staff picked up those six dogs at the Akron-Canton Airport and brought them back to Fremont to prepare the pups to find new homes.

"They were surrendered or brought in as a stray," she said about the six dogs sent to her kennel in Fremont. "They had such a long ride."

"I got an email from the National Animal (Care and) Control Association," Pocock said about how she learned about these dogs.

The national association was looking for kennels that could accept dogs from Florida. "We pulled as many as we could," Pocock shared, adding she had never participated in a relocation like this before.

With the six new Florida dogs, plus a local weekend surrender of a batch of six puppies and their mother, the Sandusky County Kennel now has 23 dogs to house at its Countryside Drive location.
