FASIS SAFETY COMMUNICATION: HEPATITIS
Concern over Hepatitis A is spreading throughout California. San Diego County first reported an outbreak of Hepatitis A (also referred to as “HAV”) back in November 2016. Since then, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles counties have also declared local outbreaks of this contagious and sometimes deadly liver disease, and other areas of the state continue to report new cases. Most cases tend to be limited to the homeless population and to drug users, but public employees can also be exposed to HAV just performing their daily duties. The attached (below) “Hepatitis A – What You Need to Know” Safety Communication provides some basic tips to assist you in preventing the spread of HAV in your community, and amongst your staff. Please be sure to click on the many helpful links at the end of the bulletin.
This and all previously issued Safety Communications can be accessed at our Risk Control Website; click here to log-in or to register:http://riskcontrol.bickmore.net.

VIA Caltrans and CDFW (California Department of Fish and Wildlife)
BETWEEN NOW and DECEMBER, deer and other wildlife are more susceptible than usual to vehicle collisions.
"Soon, deer will start their annual migrations to winter range, bucks will be preoccupied competing for mates, and bears will be searching for food in preparation for hibernation. Such natural behaviors can lead these animals into the way of unsuspecting drivers."
"Drivers can improve their own safety by simply slowing down and remaining alert while driving. We are committed to safety while being mindful of the environment, using signage, fencing, and under crossings to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions along roadways, especially in wildlife corridors.”
Marc Kenyon

ART IN PUBLIC PLACES - The Amador County Artist Association (ACAA) has several benefits to being a member, one of those being Art in Public Places, where the artist can get regular exposure to build a reputation and occasionally make a sale with no commission fees.  This program also gives the location the opportunity to be known for original art on their walls and to promote awareness of original art. The exhibits rotate every 2 months.
Our current locations include Rosebud’s Cafe (downtown Jackson); the Superior Court of CA, County of Amador; American River Bank; Amador Senior Center; Sierra Eye Care; Amador Residential Care; Jackson Paint Spot; and Castle Oaks Golf Club in Ione. Currently, the program has a good balance of artists to locations. New artists and locations are always welcome. If you would like more information, contact Colleen Williams, Committee Chairperson, colleenwill@volcano.net or (209) 295-2877.
