Sharp Rise in Whooping Cough
A dramatic rise in whooping cough cases recently in the Bay Area is leading Contra Costa health officials to intensify outreach efforts and offer free vaccinations to prevent serious illness.
Contra Costa Health Services had confirmed 40 cases of the respiratory illness, also known as pertussis, in its county as of June 16. In 2009, there were 18 cases. According to the California Department of Public Health, there were six times as many whooping cough cases in the Bay Area between January and May compared to the same time period last year.
2010-2011 Districts' Teachers of the Year
In Contra Costa County, there are close to 8,200 teachers educating approximately 167,000 students. To recognize their efforts and bring much deserved honor to the teaching profession, the participating school districts in the county recently named their Teacher of the Year (TOY) representatives. This year's 20 TOYs represent 17 Contra Costa County school districts and the Contra Costa Community College District. Eighteen of these representatives, those who teach grades K-12, are eligible to compete in the Contra Costa County TOY competition. The winner of the county TOY program will represent Contra Costa County in the California State TOY Program this coming fall.
The 2010 Census
The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years. The 2010 Census will help communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like hospitals, job training centers, schools, senior centers, emergency services, bridges, tunnels, and other-public works projects. The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats California has in the U.S. House of Representatives.
It is crucial to get an accurate count because data collected will have a significant impact on the quality of life in our communities.
The Census questionnaire is quick and easy to complete – 10 questions, 10 minutes. Responses are held in strict confidence and by law cannot be shared with anyone, including government, law enforcement agencies, not even the President of the United States!
Please do your part to help our county and our communities– fill out the questionnaire and mail it back promptly. Be counted and make a difference! For more information, please visit www.2010census.gov or www.cococensus.org.
