ODH
ESTABLISHES SWINE FLU INFORMATION LINE
The Ohio
Department of Health has established a toll-free information line
for Ohioans with
questions about swine flu.
The information
line – 1-866-800-1404 – is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday through Friday;
ODH will reassess hours of operation as the situation warrants,
according to Bret
Atkins, public information officer.
The Ohio Department
of Health has confirmed a number of cases of swine flu in Ohio and is working
with partners to confirm any other possible cases.
To lessen their
chances of becoming ill, the health department reports that
Ohioans should:
wash their hands frequently or use alcohol-based hand
sanitizers if soap
and water are unavailable; avoid touching their eyes, nose or mouth;
cover coughs and
sneezes with tissue, if tissue is unavailable, cough into your sleeve;
stay home when
sick; and keep your distance from people with respiratory symptoms.
Also, getting
enough rest, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and getting 30 or more
minutes of physical
activity most days of the week will help residents boost
their immunity and
reduce the chances of getting sick.
More information is
available from the hotline, or Atkins, at 614-799-6480

Noise
restricted in Liberty Township
To promote
peace and tranquility, Liberty Township Trustees have adopted noise
regulations [Resolution 11-C-06] that prohibits excessive noise in
residential areas and certain premises where liquor is sold.
Among other things the noise resolution applies to:
-
Private
construction activities after 9 p.m. and before 6:30 a.m. DST (7 a.m.
EST), and before 10 a.m. on Sundays.
-
Horns,
music, amplified sound, power equipment other than mowers, trimmers,
chain saws, or tillers, and unreasonably long periods of repeated
discharging of firearms.
-
Excessive
noise from motor vehicles.
Prohibited
noises are those audible at a distance of 100 feet or more from the
property from which the noise emanates.
The
resolution provides for several exceptions, including construction,
repairs and maintenance of homes and outbuildings, accessory buildings, or
yards.
The
Fairfield County Sheriff is responsible for enforcement.
The
resolution provides that the township trustees shall seek injunctive
relief against people who violate the resolution and provides that a
person aggrieved by another person’s violation of the regulation may
seek civil action.
The resolution was adopted pursuant to
Ohio Rev. Code § 505.172.
Violations are a misdemeanor of the second degree.
