May 2nd - Warning! Ground Beef Recall

Hamilton Thrive & Joe Enderle
May 02, 2024

Congrats, you just joined the best newsletter in Hamilton!

Welcome to the Hamilton Thrive Newsletter! We bring you the juiciest local news and events every weekday at 6 AM. Unlike my days delivering the Northwest Press 🗞️ on my bicycle, it will arrive quietly in your inbox, not in the bushes by the front door! 🤣

You might be wondering, "What makes Hamilton Thrive different from all the other newsletters out there?" Great question.

For starters, we have a strict no-boring policy. Even if we're writing about “exciting” topics like budgets and road closures. We keep it interesting like watching PeeWee baseball!

So when can you expect to start getting these enthralling emails? 6 AM of whatever is the closest weekday. In the meantime, we'd like to get to know what’s going on in your world. We have a Community Billboard where we will post your events, yard sales, reunions, birthdays, etc. Send an email with your happenings to [email protected]

I'm looking forward to sharing all the Hamilton happenings with you. If you just can't wait to read the Thrive, you can read any of our back issues here.

Sincerely,
Joe Enderle, Editor In Chief - Hamilton Thrive

Meeting Notice - Special Meeting of Board of Directors May 3

Attention stakeholders: During the last several weeks, as the flood protection benefits and assessments have been updated with new county property values, and there is a better understanding of projected assessment amounts, we are listening to you and hearing your feedback.

A Special Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Miami Conservancy District will be held tomorrow at 4:00 pm, at Hamilton City Hall, 345 High Street, Hamilton, Ohio. It is anticipated the Board of Directors will enter executive session immediately for the purpose of consultation with legal counsel concerning disputes involving the public body that are the subject of pending or imminent court action. The anticipated executive session should adjourn at 5:00 pm. At that time, the Board of Directors will resume open session of the Special Meeting for the purpose of matters related to flood protection benefits.

"It's certainly hopeful and we all appreciate the good news of the direction this seems to be going," said the organizer of the group Keep Hamilton Afloat created to oppose the MCD's latest reassessment. "But to be clear, we want much more than a pause. We want a new promise made, not so much unlike that edict made 100 years ago, but this time a promise to protect the people from both financial ruination and, as well as rising flood waters."

2024 Fire Hydrant Flushing begins on May 13

Residents can see when hydrants flushing will be happening in their neighborhood with our online tracking tool.
Fire hydrants throughout the city are flushed and serviced annually. This year, the process begins on May 13 and will continue through late fall. Crews will be flushing hydrants neighborhood by neighborhood, and we ask that residents refrain from washing laundry between the hours of 8am and 3pm Monday-Friday when we are in your area.
Hydrant flushing causes sediment in the lines to break loose, which can lead to brown water. This water is still safe, but it is recommended that residents do not drink discolored water. Brown water can take up to a week to make it into a home. If you notice discoloration, please run the water in your home for 5 to 10 minutes or until it becomes clear. If residents experience discolored water during this process or have any questions or concerns, they are encouraged to call 513-785-7550 and select option 4 for the gas and water department.
Residents can track where our crews are anticipated to be working in real time using the Hydrant Flushing Tracker. This tool allows residents to see what street our crews expect to be flushing on any given day, the areas that they are currently working in, and the areas that they will be moving to next.

Hamilton's Hydrant Flushing Tracker

All neighborhoods will be serviced between the hours of 8am and 3pm on weekdays. The downtown area and the region of the city bounded by Tylersville Road, Hamilton-Mason Road, and Bypass Route 4 will be serviced on Saturdays only to minimize impact on local business operations. Weather and emergency response activity make it difficult to predict exactly when flushing will occur in each area of the city.
Hydrant flushing clears the natural buildup of sediment from water mains and extends infrastructure life. Through this process, we are able to verify that hydrants will remain properly functioning in the event of an emergency and to identify any hydrants that require service or replacement.

NATIONWIDE RECALL: Ground beef sold at Walmart has possible E. coli contamination

Dear Hamilton Thrivers,

We wish to inform you that a recent recall has been initiated for certain raw ground beef products sold at Walmart stores across the nation due to potential E. coli contamination. The recall, announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, affects more than 16,000 pounds of raw ground beef.

The affected products were produced on April 26 and 27 and include various types of ground beef items packaged in plastic-wrapped trays. These products bear specific lot codes and establishment numbers, as detailed below:

2.25-pound trays of "93% Lean 7% Fat All Natural Lean Ground Beef" with lot code 117 and establishment number “EST. 86P”
1.33-pound trays of four "Prime Rib Beef Steak Burgers Patties" with lot code 118 and establishment number “EST. 86P”
2.25-pound trays of "85% Lean 15% Fat All Natural Angus Premium Ground Beef" with lot code 117 and establishment number “EST. 86P”
2.25-pound trays of "80% Lean 20% Fat All Natural Ground Beef Chuck" with lot code 118 and establishment number “EST. 86P”
1.33-pound trays of four "80% Lean 20% Fat All Natural Ground Beef Chuck Patties" with lot code 118 and establishment number “EST. 86P”
1.33-pound trays of four "90% Lean 10% Fat All Natural Ground Beef Sirloin Patties" with lot code 118 and establishment number “EST. 86P”

The issue was reported by Cargill Meat Solutions of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, after it was discovered that previously segregated product had been inadvertently utilized in the production of ground beef shipped to Walmart locations nationwide.

While there have been no confirmed reports of illnesses associated with the consumption of the recalled beef products, we advise anyone who may be concerned about their health to seek guidance from a healthcare provider.

E. coli is a bacterium that can lead to severe symptoms such as dehydration, bloody diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. These symptoms typically manifest between two and eight days after exposure. While most individuals recover within a week, some may develop a serious complication known as hemolytic uremic syndrome, characterized by symptoms like easy bruising, pallor, and decreased urine output. It is essential to seek immediate medical attention if experiencing these symptoms.

If you have purchased the recalled beef products dispose of the items or return them to Walmart.

Furthermore, we remind all consumers to handle and prepare raw meat products safely, whether fresh or frozen, and to ensure that ground beef is cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. The use of a food thermometer is recommended to accurately gauge the temperature and ensure thorough cooking.

For any inquiries regarding the recall, consumers may contact Cargill Meat Solutions at 844-419-1574.
