CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY PARTICIPATES IN LANDMARK NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH INTERVENTION ADDRESSING OVERDOSE FATALITIES County is One of Sixteen New York State Counties Participating in HEALing Communities Study
MAYVILLE, N.Y.:-- Ongoing efforts to address overdose fatalities in Chautauqua County now include the county’s participation in a landmark intervention funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Chautauqua County is one of sixteen New York State counties participating in the HEALing Communities Study, an ambitious project aimed at community-wide, evidence-based solutions to stem the national opioid crisis. The largest community-based implementation study ever in the field of addiction, the HEALing Communities Study, is being piloted in four states. In New York, Columbia University is the lead institution in partnership with local governments and other stakeholders. Steve Kilburn, Grant Projects Director at the County’s Department of Mental Hygiene, said, “By providing additional organizational, technical, and financial resources, the HEALing Communities Study will support the Chautauqua Substance Abuse Response Partnership in further expand-
ing the collaborative work already underway by its members.” The study will focus on reducing the incidence of an opioid use disorder, increasing the number of individuals with an opioid use disorder receiving medication-assisted treatment, increasing treatment retention, and expanding the distribution of naloxone, a medication to reverse opioid overdose. “The evidence generated through the HEALing Communities Study will help communities nationwide address the opioid crisis at the local level,” said Nora D. Volkow, M.D., director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) in a news release by the NIH. “By testing and evaluating interventions where they are needed the most, we hope to show how researchers, providers, and communities can come together and finally bring an end to this devastating public health crisis.” If you or a loved one are in need of addiction-related services, information on local resources is available at CombatAddictionCHQ. com.

without children or empty nesters may find it difficult to carve out time to read in a typical day. But people who aspire to read more can take a book to the beach or out on the deck on a warm afternoon or evening. Leave the smartphone inside so you can relax and read distraction-free. • Gardening: Gardening is another hobby that coordinates well with a summertime vibe. Gardening gets people outdoors, giving them a chance to soak up some summer sun and engage in an activity that’s rewarding but not too physically demanding. One of the biggest attractions of gardening is that it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. That makes it an ideal hobby for busy families to enjoy together when their schedules slow down in the summer. It’s also a great way for adults to spend quality time with aging parents. • Photography: Summer seascapes and landscapes are awe-inspiring, making this an ideal time of year to take up photography. Novices can begin by utilizing
Summer weekends wouldn’t be the same without backyard barbecues. And no backyard barbecue is complete without hamburgers. The exact origins of the hamburger are unknown, but historians believe this beloved staple of American barbecues can be traced to mid-nineteenth century Germany. According to History.com, political revolutions in Germany in the 1840s spurred many Germans to emigrate to the United States. Germans brought many of their cultural traditions with them, including their cuisine. One such dish was the chopped steak, which can be traced to Hamburg, a city renowned for its high-quality beef. Though few might now see ground beef as a remedy for digestive issues, that was a common belief in the 1860s, when a New York-based doctor named James Salisbury suggested that cooked beef patties could benefit the digestive system as much as chopped, chipped or ground beef. Buns were not yet in the picture at that time, but they were by 1904, when beef patties on buns were available at the St. Louis
World’s Fair. In 1921, the first White Castle restaurant opened in Kansas, and hamburgers have been a staple of American cuisine ever since. Though it’s been a century since White Castle opened its first restaurant, people are still perfecting the art of making the perfect hamburger. Exactly what defines the perfect hamburger may be open to debate, but there’s no denying the desirability of juicy burgers. As grillmasters prepare for another season of backyard barbecues, the following are some ways they can make their burgers more juicy. • Avoid extra-lean meat. Extra-lean meat might be healthier than the alternatives, but 93 percent lean ground beef is unlikely to produce juicy burgers. When making burgers from scratch, opt for 80 percent lean. WebMD notes that fat helps to hold burgers together while searing and cooking the meat. The result is a more juicy interior than cooks are likely to get when using lean meats. • Swap beef for lamb. Cookbook author John Holl notes in his book,
“The American Craft Beer Cookbook” (Storey), that substituting ground beef with ground lamb makes for a juicier burger. Lamb is moist, so unlike lean beef, it can be grilled as well-done without drying out. Lamb also offers a different taste than beef, adding a little variety to a backyard barbecue. • Saddle your spatula. Flipping the burgers too much or pressing them against the grill as they cook can dry them out. • Be conscious of carryover cooking time. Carryover cooking time refers to the length of time temperature in a food continues to rise even after it’s been removed from a cooking area. Beef is among the many foods that continue to cook after being removed from a heat source, so beef burgers can be removed from the grill before they reach the desired cooking temperature. This prevents drying out and ensures that once they’re served, the burgers will be juicy and safe to eat. Grilling a juicy burger is easily accomplished with a few simple and time-tested strategies.
Chautauqua County Retracts Polio Case Announcement
Hobbies that suit a summertime vibe Summer is the season of R&R. When the mercury rises, who can resist a backyard hammock or the sound of waves lapping against a picturesque shoreline? The relaxing nature of summer makes it the perfect season to revisit old hobbies or pick up new ones. Hobbies can run the gamut from the complex to the simple, but when choosing a habit to pick up this summer, individuals may want to look to these somewhat relaxing endeavors that are tailor-made for warm days and nights. • Reading: Individuals who have long wanted to read more should know that they’re not alone. A 2019 survey commissioned by the reading subscription service Scribd and conducted by The Harris Poll found that 35 percent of respondents wished they could read more. Finding time to read more may be difficult during spring, summer and fall, when parents must contend with their own hectic schedules as well as their children’s. Even individuals

their smartphone cameras to take snapshots of local landscapes. Once the skill of pointing and clicking has been honed, amateur photogs can graduate to more expensive and precise cameras. • Sailing/boating: Though it might involve a little more physical activity than reading, sailing and/or boating is an ideal summertime activity. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that nearly 40 percent of the United States population lives in a coastal area, making boating and sailing an accessible hobby for a significant percentage of Americans. Even those who live far away from the ocean undoubtedly live close to a river or lake. What better way to enjoy warm summer afternoons than on a boat? The best summertime hobbies are often those that help people take the relaxing nature of summer to the next level.
MAYVILLE, N.Y.:-- On July 29, 2022, Chautauqua County Executive PJ Wendel stated in an interview with WRFA, a radio station in Jamestown, that a polio case had been detected in Chautauqua County. The Chautauqua County Health Department and the New York State Department of Health have reviewed all lab reports, and advise the public that no polio cases have been detected in Chautauqua County at this time.
Polio is a vaccine-preventable viral disease that can affect the nervous system and cause muscle weakness. The polio virus typically enters the body through the mouth, usually from hands contaminated with fecal matter of an infected person. Respiratory and oral-to-oral transmission through saliva may also occur.
Polio is very contagious, and a person can spread the virus even if they aren’t sick. Symptoms, which “I would like to provide can be mild and flu-like an update that there have (fatigue, fever, headache, been no cases of polio detected in Chautauqua County,” said Wendel. “Routine communication from our health department shared information about a case of polio detected in Rockland County, N.Y.; however, the information was mistakenly attributed by me to being a local case during an interview with WRFA.”

stiffness, muscle pain, vomiting), can take up to 30 days to appear, during which time an infected individual can be shedding virus to others. Though rare, some polio cases can result in paralysis or death. Given the case detected in Eastern New York State, the Chautauqua County Health Department recommends that local residents review their vaccine histories with their health care providers to ensure that they have been vaccinated against polio.

having their pets vaccinated. Rabies is a very serious disease of warm-blooded animals caused by a virus. Raccoons, bats, skunks, and foxes are common disease carriers. The virus is transmitted to humans and animals through saliva and can enter the body through a bite, scratch, or open cut. The rabies virus infects the central nervous system and can cause brain swelling and ultimately death within days of the onset of symptoms.
