When residential fires happen at night while people are sleeping, deaths are more likely to occur. Smoke alarms are important for preventing these deaths, yet many young children don't wake up to traditional high-pitch tone alarms. In a study published online today in The Journal of Pediatrics, researchers in the Center for Injury Research and Policy and the Sleep Disorders Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital examined characteristics of four different smoke alarms to determine which ones worked best to wake children.

Agriculture and Markets Law Section 303-b was enacted in 2003 to provide for the designation of an annual 30-day period during which landowners may submit requests for the inclusion of predominately viable agricultural land into an existing certified agricultural district. Cattaraugus County has designated January 2 through January 31, 2019 as this 30-day period.

Joseph G. Keller, Cattaraugus County Treasurer, reminds taxpayers that unpaid 2019 County/Town Taxes will be returned to the County for collection on April 2.  Local collectors will be able to collect the March amount on April 1 due to the fact that the last day of March falls on a Sunday.  If you intend to pay the current year tax to the local collector by mail, please be sure to get your payment postmarked no later than April 1 (U.S. Postmark only).

Lead Poisoning Screening

What is lead poisoning?Faucet dripping clipart

It's a condition caused by swallowing or inhaling lead. Even small amounts of lead can be harmful. Young children are at greatest risk because their bodies absorb lead more easily than adults' do. A pregnant woman and her unborn baby can be hurt by lead. Lead can be found in paint, dust, soil and tap water.
