State lowers dam on Auglaize River

BY MIKE FORDmford@delphosherald.com

A dam was lowered inthe Auglaize River in AllenCounty last week to enablefish to swim upstream.Mike Wilkerson of theOhio Department of NaturalResources oversaw the proj-ect and says the dam wasalso a safety hazard.“We lowered it down18 inches; our policy is if we own a dam that doesn’tserve its intended func-tion or is a safety hazard,we alter it. In this case,we lowered it because itwas impeding fish progressupstream and residents inthat area told me a couplepeople had drowned there15 or 20 years ago,” hesaid. “Those types of struc-tures are drowning hazardsbecause the way the waterfalls creates an undertowat the base and if someonegets in there, sometimes thewater will trap them at thebase and drown them rightthere.” Wilkerson said hewas not part of the depart-ment that long ago and doesnot know why the safetyhazard wasn’t remediedsooner. However, he indi-cated the policy is approxi-mately seven years old.He also said fish will beable to clear the hurdle, nowthat it has been lowered.“It was about a six-foot-high dam and most fishcan’t get over that but withthe way we altered it, theywill be able to pass duringcertain times of the year.Right now, it’s down twofeet and that’s as low as itwill go. In spring, the waterlevel will only be 18 incheslower than it was,” he said.“There has been fishing andthat will continue and therewas some canoeing therethat will have to be curtailedwhen the water level is toolow but there are other areasof the river for canoeing; it just won’t be as much as itwas.”

A dam was lowered in the Auglaize River near Woods and Waters on German Road in Allen County last week to enable fish to swim upstream.Mike Wilkerson of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources oversaw the project and says the dam was also a safety hazard.

It’s flu vaccination season

Provided by the PutnamCounty Health Department

It’s time to start thinkingabout getting a seasonal fluvaccine for this year.Last year proved to bean unusual influenza season.Putnam County saw unprec-edented numbers of adultsand children getting sick withH1N1. Luckily for most, theillness was not life-threaten-ing but there were severalwho were hospitalized withvery serious disease.This year’s seasonal influ-enza vaccine includes theH1N1 pandemic flu strainthat was so popular last year.Experts predict that H1N1will again be circulating thisyear, along with other sea-sonal influenza strains.Influenza viruses causedisease among all age groupsbut seasonal flu typicallycauses more complicationsand serious illness in childrenless than 5 years old, preg-nant women, those 65 yearsand older and those of anyage that have medical condi-tions which place them athigher risk. These underlyingconditions include asthma,diabetes, suppressed immunesystems, heart disease, kidneydisease, neurocognitive andneuromuscular disorders andpregnancy. The H1N1 viruscan also infect any age groupbut last season, the H1N1 flucaused greater disease burdenin younger people and preg-nant women.Getting the influenza vac-cine is one of the best waysto prevent influenza and itssevere complications.The Putnam County HealthDepartment is planning toadminister the seasonal influ-enza vaccine at various clin-ic locations throughout thecounty. This year, the threestrains of influenza includedin the seasonal flu vaccine areA/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like (the same strain as wasused for 2009 H1N1 vaccine),A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-likeand B/Brisbane/60/2008-likeantigens.Two types of vaccinewill be offered. FluMist is aweakened live vaccine givenas a nasal spray and can begiven to any healthy indi-viduals that are 2 – 49 yearsold, excluding women thatare pregnant. FluMist willcost $10 for those 18 yearsand younger and $20 if youare older than 18 years. Thisvaccine may offer better andlonger-lasting protection forinfluenza when the vaccinestrains do not exactly matchthe virus that is going aroundthat year.The inactivated vaccinegiven by a shot is indicatedfor anyone 6 months andolder and will cost $10 forthose 18 years and youngerand $20 for 19 years andabove. This vaccine is indi-cated for those with chronicillnesses, the very young andthe older population.With proof of Medicaid orMedicare, the vaccine is freeand insurances will be billed.All clinics are on a walk-in basis; no appointments arenecessary. The influenza vac-cination clinics open to thepublic include:— Sept. 23 from 9–11:30a.m. and 1-4 p.m. at the healthdept.— Sept. 27 from 9–11:30a.m. and 1-3:30 p.m. atOttawa Senior Center— Oct. 1 from 9 a.m.to noon at Columbus GroveVFW— Oct. 2 from 6–10 a.m.at Ottawa-Glandorf HighSchool during the KiwanisBlood Draw— Oct. 15 from 3–6 p.m.in the Ft. Jennings Old Gym(655 N. Water St.)— Oct. 15 from 3–6 p.m.at Ottoville VFW— Oct. 27 from 2:30–4p.m. at First National Bankin PandoraMore clinics may beoffered as the season pro-gresses. Please call the healthdepartment at 419-523-5608with any questions.

Why get the flu vaccine?

Many people feel likethey don’t need the flu vac-cine for various reasons. Butit’s important to make thisdecision based on the facts.Influenza viruses are spreadfrom person to person pri-marily through contact withsomeone’s infected cough orsneeze. Adults can be infec-tious from the day beforesymptoms begin throughapproximately 5 days after theonset of illness. Children canbe infectious for 10 days ormore and young children cantransmit the virus for severaldays before they show symp-toms. For immunocompro-

Library trustees to deciderenovation of new building

BY STACY TAFFstaff@delphosherald.com

DELPHOS—The DelphosPublic Library Board of Trustees met Wednesday inregular session to discuss therenovation of the new build-ing.“We need to take care of the plumbing and electricity stilland with what we have leftover of the donations from theDienstberger Foundation andthe Eagles Auxiliary, we onlyhave enough to cover one or theother, not both,” Director NancyMericle said. “So we’ll put thataside until we can decide whichwill be done first.”In other news, the board dis-cussed the possibility of acquir-ing the Rosetta Stone languageprogram, something whichmay rest upon donations.“I think the price for theprogram is about $500 perlanguage and it’s a reallygood program,” board mem-ber Jane Rutledge said. “Thismight be something thatthe average person couldn’tafford that would be good tohave available here for use.”“With the current financialsituation, it isn’t somethingwe’d purchase unless weknew there was some interestfrom patrons,” Mericle added.“So we’re accepting dona-tions for the Rosetta Stoneprogram.”
