Per Garrison Hilliard:
DAYTON - Ohio and other states are removing or modifying many low dams, blamed
for drownings from the churning the structures create in the water.

We have quite a few of them here in SE Penna where I ride my bike - especially
along the Perkiomen creek.

Every one seems to have at least one little monument near it to somebody that
drowned there.

Erie thing to me is that they look like *nothing*.... no apparent hazard at all.
If I didn't know better, I wouldn't hesitate to in the water on or under one of
those little spillways.
