Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 10th of June.
Good morning, Wooster.
Yesterday, the Wayne County Community Youth Foundation awarded $20,300 in grants to eight local organizations—student advisers had reviewed 16 proposals before making the recommendations.
The awards will fund programs for youth such as mental health support, adaptive resources and infant safety education—providing high school students with hands-on experience in local philanthropy.
Wayne County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center staff and PAWS volunteers showcased adoptable dogs at Pet Supplies Plus in Wooster on June 9 to encourage residents to adopt amid overcrowded shelter conditions.
Shelter Director Katelyn Lehman said dogs are house-trained, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered for an adoption fee of $98 — a rate that frees up space for more animals.
Maintenance staff at the Wayne County Administration Building rescued seven ducklings from a storm sewer catch basin after their mother led them astray in a busy parking lot—she then escorted them to a nearby water source.
The incident reminds locals that debris from vehicles and daily waste flows untreated into our waterways.
