Disasters on the Lake Erie Islands – Adults
Tuesday, June 3 – 7:00 PM
Beautiful and deadly, the Lake Erie islands off the coast of Ohio have seen their fair share of disasters. The Victory Hotel on South Bass Island at Put-in-Bay was once the largest hotel in the nation. But the grand residence was reduced to ashes after a spark quickly became a raging, uncontrollable inferno. Reports of smallpox on Pelee Island resulted in mass hysteria and the quarantine of an entire island. At the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse, one light keeper was frozen in for days with his deceased colleague until he could make a desperate escape. Wendy Koile chronicles the fiercest calamities to shatter the tranquility of these solitary shores. Wendy Koile is fascinated with obscure Ohio and maritime history. She has authored four books focusing on lost tales of Ohio including Geneva on the Lake: A brief History of Ohio’s First Resort, Legend and Lost Treasures of Ohio, Disaster of Ohio’s Lake Erie Islands, and Lake Erie: Murder and Mayhem.

BEDFORD HEIGHTS, OH — As reported by Fox 8 News, a Bedford Heights man has been charged with felony cruelty to animals after a disturbing incident involving his dog was captured on video. Police say the abuse took place on May 7 at an apartment complex, where surveillance footage reportedly showed 26-year-old Devonta Staten throwing his dog, a 2-year-old pit bull mix named India, to the ground and later against a wall. The footage led apartment staff to notify authorities.

Staten appeared in Bedford Municipal Court on Friday, where his bond was set at $2,500. He is scheduled to return to court on Wednesday. Police described the video as difficult to watch and emphasized that no animal should be subjected to such treatment.

India was immediately taken into custody by officers and brought to a veterinarian. Despite the severity of the incident, she is expected to recover fully. Police say it was fortunate she did not suffer more serious injuries.

India is now safe at a local shelter and is reportedly doing well. Officials stated that the court will decide whether Staten will lose custody of the dog, but they hope India can eventually be placed in a loving, permanent home.

BEDFORD HEIGHTS, OH — As Reported by Cleveland 19 News, on May 6, family and friends of Takim Brown visited Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery in Bedford Heights to mark what would have been his 23rd birthday. Instead of a moment of remembrance, they were devastated to find his headstone had been forcibly removed from the ground.

Brown was tragically killed in 2019 in Cleveland Heights, and his family had installed a $2,000 headstone in 2020 as a tribute to his memory. The desecration has left them in shock and reignited the pain they’ve carried since his loss.

Brown’s family has reported the incident to Bedford Heights police and is pleading for answers. Despite reviewing security footage, cemetery staff have yet to identify any suspects. The grounds remain accessible overnight through one open gate, raising concerns about security.

The family is desperate for information that could lead to justice, expressing deep emotional distress over the incident. What was meant to be a peaceful visit turned into a painful reminder of their enduring grief.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Bedford Heights Police Department as the investigation continues. The family hopes that someone will come forward to help restore a sense of peace.

BEDFORD, OH — As reported by WKYC Studios, emergency crews rescued a man Saturday afternoon after he fell down a steep embankment near Taylor Road by Viaduct Park. The incident occurred around 3 p.m., when a neighbor across Tinker’s Creek heard the man calling for help and discovered he was unable to move. Positioned precariously near the edge of a ledge, the man was in danger of falling into the rising creek.

The Bedford Fire Department quickly responded and determined that the situation required a technical rescue due to the terrain and the man’s injuries. Firefighters stabilized the man while awaiting additional equipment and personnel. Assistance was provided by the EastTech Technical Rescue Team and Metro LifeFlight’s ground team.

Specialized rope rescue tools and techniques were used to reach and remove the man safely from the slippery and dangerous slope. He was then transported for further medical care at a trauma center. His current condition has not been released.

Despite the challenging nature of the rescue, no injuries were reported among the firefighters or assisting personnel. The coordinated response highlights the preparedness and skill of local emergency teams in handling complex rescue scenarios.
