Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 28th of July.
Good morning, Lancaster.
🚧 Accidents
Flash flooding hit the FIDO dog boarding facility on the 1900 block of Granville Pike in Lancaster on Sunday, forcing the fire department to evacuate people and dogs while one dog, Scooby, is missing — heavy waters damaged the fence and pushed a dumpster 50 yards.
🌲 Environment
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife finished surveys of lakes in Fairfield County to rate sport fish by size and abundance.
Buckeye Lake got fair scores for several species, Oakthorpe Lake showed excellent size in Largemouth Bass, Lake Logan earned good ratings, and Rush Creek Lake had fair to good results—helping local anglers know where to fish.
🏈 Sports
Chris Zaker opened Field of Dreams in Lancaster to give local softball players an indoor space to practice during winter — the 4000 square foot facility features batting cages, a pitching mound and a catcher area and draws players from the region.
Zaker, who also coaches the local varsity team, offers specialized lessons that help young athletes improve their skills.
