FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The closure of the Maxie Park Community Center in Southwest Fresno is raising major concerns among staff and community members.

“Thousands of our community members have been in and out of that building over the past couple of years,” said Yolanda Randles the Executive Director of the West Fresno Resource Center, housed inside the community center. “Certainly there is a concern. I am concerned.”

Monday afternoon, City Council member and President Miguel Arias announced the discovery of two harmful chemicals in the Community Center’s groundwater.

Benzene, a known carcinogen, and Tetrachloroethylene, also known as PERC, is a chemical that can cause dizziness, nausea and even death if exposed to high amounts.

Arias says the water quality board found low traces of these chemicals during a routine check at a neighboring gas station.

“The water board suspected that contaminates originated from the old dry cleaner business,” he

Health advisory issued for Cascade Reservoir due to harmful algae bloom

A recent water sample shows cyanobacteria are present, and they can be harmful to pets and humans.

CASCADE, Idaho — Health officials are warning recreationists about using Cascade Reservoir due to the presence of a harmful algae bloom in the water.

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality has been monitoring the reservoir and says a recent water sample shows that concentrations of a toxin-producing cyanobacteria are present. These type of bacteria can be harmful to humans and pets.

Central District Health and DEQ have issued a health advisory for reservoir users.

Cyanobacteria are a natural occuring in bodies of water, however when temperatures rise, their populations can bloom and toxic chemical compounds, or cyanotoxins, can be released into the water.

Algae blooms may look like mats, foam, spilled paint, or surface scum, and have a foul odor. They can move around to different areas, water depths and change in severity.

Intensive Blood Pressure Lowering Potentially Harmful in ICH

| Health News

Intensive lowering of systolic blood pressure (SBP) for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) whose initial SBP is excessively high does not improve outcomes and is linked to safety concerns, new research shows.

Investigators found that ICH patients whose initial SBP was 220 mmHg and who underwent intensive BP lowering had twice the relative risk for neurologic deterioration at 24 hours without any reduction in hematoma expansion or 3-month risk for death and disability compared to their counterparts who underwent standard SBP lowering.

“The significantly higher rate of neurological deterioration associated with intensive treatment in patients with initial systolic blood pressure of 220 mm Hg or more warrants caution against broad recommendations for intensive systolic blood pressure reduction in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage,” the investigators, led by Iryna Lobanova, MD, Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institute, University of Missouri, in Columbia, write.

The study was published online September 8 in JAMA Neurology.

Trump’s attack on Hunter Biden underscores ‘harmful stigma’ of addiction

Remarks like these perpetuate “a harmful stigma,” said Mark Sutton, spokesman for the nonprofit Drug Policy Alliance, which advocates for the decriminalization of drug use.

“At a time when we have approximately 70,000 people in the United States dying per year from accidental overdose, it is unconscionable that someone vying for our highest elected office would be so willing to throw people struggling with substance-use disorder under the bus,” he added.

Federal data shows that roughly 1 in 10 American adults — or 23 million people — have struggled with a drug-use disorder at some point in their lives. Such a diagnosis is “based on a list of symptoms including craving, withdrawal, lack of control, and negative effects on personal and professional responsibilities,” according to the National Institutes of Health. Drug abuse is not necessarily illicit — many people addicted to opioids obtain them legally through a doctor’s prescription, for
