Erie County DOH highlights screening for detection and vaccine for prevention during National Cervical Health Awareness Month ERIE COUNTY, NY – January is National Cervical Health Awareness Month, and the Erie County Cancer Services Program is offering this reminder about regular screening and vaccination as tools to detect and prevent cervical cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 90% of cervical cancer is caused by human papilloma virus (HPV). Early stages of cervical cancer and HPV infections do not always show symptoms. “Available screening tests can identify precancerous cells, which might become cervical cancer if not treated appropriately,” said Commissioner of Health Dr. Gale Burstein. “Our Cancer Services Program connects eligible women age 40 and older with screenings, and with any other diagnostic testing needed after those screenings.” “Women often put their health concerns last, but cervical cancer screening is not something that should be delayed,” said Program Manager Michelle Wysocki, “Our outreach team takes calls from women nearly every day to access cervical cancer screenings; cost should not be a barrier to these routine screening tests or to an accurate diagnosis.” Call (716) 858-7376 for more information, or visit www.erie.gov/cancerservices. Cervical cancer screening with a Pap test or a combination of a Pap test and highrisk human papilloma virus (hrHPV) test are routine procedures done in a standard ob/gyn or primary care
office visit. Routine screening can detect pre-cancerous changes or early cancer in the cervix that can be more easily treated. Pap tests are recommended for most women through age 65 as a routine part of health care. Erie County residents under age 40 may access cervical cancer screening directly through the Erie County Family Planning Clinic at 608 William Street in Buffalo. Appointments are encouraged and walkins welcomed. The Family Planning Clinic accepts most insurances, and people who are uninsured or underinsured will be screened for a NYS program to help pay for services. No one is turned away for an inability to pay. For any questions or to schedule an appointment, call (716) 858-2779. All women are at risk of developing cervical cancer, though it occurs most often in women over 30 years of age. Human papillomavirus (HPV), a vaccine preventable disease, is the number one cervical cancer risk factor and can be detected in 99.7 percent of cervical cancers. Women who smoke are about twice as likely to develop cervical cancer

compared to non-smokers. Other risk factors include having HIV or another condition that makes it hard to fight off health problems, using birth control pills for a long time, or having given birth to three or more children. The HPV vaccine promotes cervical health with protection against types of the HPV that cause the majority of cervical cancers. This vaccine has been widely available in the United States since 2006. HPV is known to cause cervical, oral and anal cancers. By adulthood, most people have had an exposure to HPV, and the HPV vaccine works best when given before an HPV exposure. That is why HPV vaccination is recommended for male and female preteens ages 11-12 years, but can be given starting at age 9. It is also recommended for everyone through age 26, if they are not yet vaccinated. HPV vaccination prevents new HPV infections, but does not treat existing infections or diseases. Individuals over the age of 26 should talk to their doctor about the risks and benefits of HPV vaccination.

Cattaraugus County officials welcome Seneca Nation dropping state compact lawsuit BY RICK MILLER
T U E S DAY 2 / 8
LITTLE VALLEY — Cattaraugus County officials welcomed news that the Seneca Nation will drop legal action against New York state over casino revenue sharing and begin talks leading to a new gaming compact. “It’s certainly is good news,” said County Administrator Jack Searles on Thursday. “We are certainly optimistic about it. ... I’ve already had a couple of people approach me and ask what we are going to use the money for.” County lawmakers have called as well, wondering how much the county might receive in a settlement between the Seneca Nation and the state through the state’s 25% share of slot machine revenue at the Senecas’ casinos in Salamanca, Buffalo and Niagara Falls. The short answer from Searles is that he doesn’t know — he hadn’t heard from the governor’s office by late afternoon Thursday. Like others, he said, he read about it in the newspaper that morning. Seneca President Matthew Pagels announced the agreement between the Seneca Nation and the state during a 5-minute video posted on Seneca Media Wednesday night. The agreement includes plans to meet within 60 days to begin talks on a new compact, he said. Gov Kathy Hochul welcomed the Senecas’ action as well. “I am pleased to have reached an agreement for the resumption of payments on terms that serve both the State and the Nation and that
benefit Western New York communities, and I look forward to beginning discussions toward a new compact,” she said in a statement. “I have no idea about the timing,” Searles said. “We’ve had no formal contact. We find out about these things from the media.” The last time the county received a quarterly payment from New York state was the second quarter of 2016. The Senecas announced the following spring that they interpreted the gaming compact did not require payments to the state in the last seven years of the pact. That set off a four-year legal effort that led to a string of defeats for the Senecas, including arbitration and federal court decisions. Searles said the last revenue sharing payment from the state covering slot machine revenues from the Seneca Allegany Casino totaled about $1.9 million. The city of Salamanca, the Salamanca school district and Cattaraugus County have an agreement to divide the revenue sharing payments from the state. The first tier payments call for replacing property tax revenue lost when a member of the Seneca Nation purchases property on the Allegany Territory in the city of Salamanca. Other tiers of revenue sharing were used to cover direct costs and economic development efforts. The last payments did not include enough revenue to cover second tier costs, Searles said. Cattaraugus County received $318,476 from that second quarter payment in 2016, the city of Salamanca received $248,570 and the
school district got $1.4 million, Searles said. Of that amount, $701,105 was to cover property tax losses and a little less than $1.03 million toward direct costs. The Senecas have placed nearly $500 million in escrow to be able to pay for the settlement with the state. “I don’t know what the split (for the Seneca Allegany Casino) will be,” Searles said. “I don’t know what the impact of COVID-19 has been on slot machines at the casino.” Based on the last revenue sharing payment in 2016, the county would receive a back payment from the state of $1.2 million that year. If the county’s share were reduced to as little as $1 million a year, it would still be a more than $5 million payday. Searles expects legislators will be talking about how to use the funds. “They are aware of it and they’re talking about it now,” he added. The city of Salamanca is reportedly eyeing revenue sharing payments of $20 million or more, but owes the state about $15 million it has borrowed against the expected casino payment. Mayor Sandra L. Magiera could not be reached for comment. Assemblyman Joseph Giglio, R-Gowanda, said he was glad that the issues have been resolved and work can now begin for a solution for the Nation and for the communities in which casinos are located. “Negotiations for a new compact to replace the current agreement, which is set to expire next year, will give all parties involved the opportunity for a fresh and prosperous working relationship,” the assemblyman said.
