Agnesian HealthCare/SSM Health will be among those health care providers vaccinating children 12 to 15 years of age against COVID-19. Nicole Gill is the Chief Nursing Officer at the Ripon Medical Center and Waupun Memorial Hospital. She says because they are minors those children will need to have a parental consent form signed.

Ripon Medical Center will have a vaccine clinic available Tuesdays from 8 am to 4 pm with hours for walk-ins from 8 am to 3 pm starting tomorrow. She says people can call to make an appointment at 920-926-8400 or sign up through a MyChart account.

Improved Pedestrian And Bicyclist Safety Aim Of Enforcement Effort
Oshkosh Police will be deploying officers specifically for pedestrian and bicycle enforcement from June through August. It’s hoped the effort will help decrease the numbers of accidents pedestrians and bicyclists are involved in. During 2020 the City of Oshkosh saw 4 crashes involving pedestrians that resulted in serious injury and one that resulted in a pedestrian’s death. Grants will help pay for the enforcement effort. Oshkosh Police thank those who are extra vigilant while their driving to make sure they aren’t involved in an accident with a pedestrian or bicyclist.
Jail Nurses And Teachers Appreciated
Fond du Lac County Sheriff Ryan Waldschmidt says it seems that just about everyone who works with their jail has been honored over the past few weeks. In addition to National Correctional Officers Week there were Nurses and Teacher Appreciation Days or weeks. The jail has a nursing staff that works 16 hours a day/7 days a week. They also have two teachers from the Fond du Lac School District that work with inmates. One of the teachers helps adult inmates work toward their GED if they haven’t completed their high school education. He says the other teacher and volunteers work with juveniles in the juvenile detention facility to keep their education on track for when they get out. Waldschmidt says they will actually be honoring the cooks in their jail in August.

Our Air Show people are putting things together that will look at the aviation history of that entire conflict.”) Other highlights will include some of the aircraft used by the Air Force Special Operations Command, which uses a number of special aircraft for their missions.
