Squirrel effort prompts suspension
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. — Spending too much of her time at work trying to rescue a squirrel led to a library worker being suspended from her job.
Cindee Goetz said she was suspended last week after she contacted a friend who owns an animal-removal business about the squirrel trapped in the ceiling of a LaPorte County Public Library branch.

“I don’t want that squirrel to die, either, but I can’t allow a live animal to be headquartered in that building,” (Judy) Hamilton said. “It’s a severe situation I can’t ignore. I’m not running a squirrel condominium here.”
“I don’t make a lot, and whatever I make that’s expendable goes toward helping animals,” (Goetz) said. “But I’m dedicated to doing it.”
