My favorite thing in Alabama is Blue
Springs State Park. Blue Springs State
Park is named for the natural spring in the park that pumps 3,600 gallons of water per minute. The temperature of the water is 68 degrees year round. The spring is crystal clear with a sandy bottom and swimming is allowed at your own risk, no lifeguard is on duty. My family and I love going here in the summer to swim. I always look forward to going! The water can be cold but that is what makes it so fun! 

Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers and west to the Coosa (mostly in
Alabama). Creek Indians made their homes along rivers and creeks.
The Creek Indians lived in towns of 400 to 600 people. Creek towns had a large open area called a plaza for meetings as well as a large, round building which would hold all of the people in a town. Creek houses were made of river-cane and plaster, with thatched roofs.

Helen Adams Keller was born June 27 th
1880 in Tuscumbia, AL to Arthur H. and Kate Adams. Helen was born a healthy normal baby until she was stricken with a severe illness at the age of 19 months old, which left her blind and deaf. Her parents took her to see many doctors. Annie Sullivan came to
Tuscumbia on March 3 rd
, 1887 to teach Helen. Helens parents had spoiled her, so Annie’s first task was to teach Helen to obey. Until she was ten years old Helen could only communicate with sign language. She started taking lessons from her deaf teacher and by the time she was 16, Helen could talk well enough to attend school. In 1904, Helen graduated cum laude from Radcliff. Although Annie married
John Macy, she still stayed with Helen until Annie died in
1936. In 1954, Ivy Green, located on a 640 acre tract of land, was made a permanent shrine and is included in the National
Register of Historic Sites.

Dr. Robert Bentley was elected Governor of Alabama in November 2010, promising to "put Alabamians back to work." With Alabama's struggling economy, he gained voters attention when he promised he would not accept a salary as Governor until Alabama reaches full employment.
Prior to becoming Governor, Dr. Bentley served two terms in the Alabama
House of Representatives representing his Tuscaloosa district.
He founded a number of small businesses, the most successful being
Alabama Dermatology Associates. As President of Alabama Dermatology
Associates, Dr. Bentley managed the practices growth into one of the largest dermatology practices in the Southeast. Early in his career, after graduating from the University of Alabama School of Medicine, he was commissioned Captain in the United States Air Force and later Hospital
Commander. Upon completion of his military service he completed his residency in Dermatology at UAB.
Governor Bentley currently chairs the Appalachian Regional Commission and is a member of the Economic Development and Commerce
Commission with the National Governors Association.
After one year in office, Governor Bentley still does not accept a salary and still works to put Alabamians back to work. And it seems to be working.

ANNISTON, Ala. (AP) -- Police in Anniston say it wasn't hard to spot the stolen aluminum which had been sold to a scrap yard -- the pieces were the in shape of fire hydrants.
Thieves had stolen the fire hydrant molds from Swafford's Machine Co. in downtown Anniston and chiseled down the logos on them.
The Anniston Star reports that the crime is part of what has been a growing trend of metal thefts in the east Alabama city.
Police investigators Kyle Price and J. Hartley make up a special investigative unit to look into such crimes.
Anniston police Sgt. Josh Doggrell said the unit was launched earlier this year in response to high rates of metal and copper thefts.

WATERLOO, Ala. (AP) -- Firefighters say they're working to gain control of a wildfire that has blackened more than 350 acres north of Waterloo.

The Times Daily of Florence reports that a home was evacuated Monday night as the Lauderdale County fire burned trees near wood structure. The blaze destroyed a camping trailer parked in the woods.


Firefighters were gaining control of the fire Tuesday morning before winds began picking up, causing 30-foot high flames to jump across furrows that had been plowed in an effort to contain the blaze. They battled the blaze into the night Tuesday before darkness forced them to retreat.
Waterloo Fire Chief Ted Kavich said it was just too dangerous to be out in the woods fighting a fire in the rugged terrain when firefighters could not see where they were going.

The owners of a Great Dane taken from their property in Hale County and later shipped to the Greater Birmingham
Humane Society say the Birmingham shelter killed their dog.
Shelter officials confirmed Tuesday that they euthanized the black Great Dane, which was transferred from Hale County to Birmingham on March 22. Jack and Gina Mills of Akron have been trying to get Heidi, a 2-year-old Great Dane, returned since they found out that she was shipped, along with other animals, from the Hale County Animal Shelter to the Greater
Birmingham Humane Society. On Monday, Greensboro police informed the Millses that they had been told the
Birmingham shelter euthanized their dog. “As of this point, they’ve told us so many different stories, it’s hard for us to know if they’re telling the truth,” Jack Mills said of the Birmingham shelter. “It makes you wonder, is this the truth now or something we’ll find out later?” At different times, Mills said he has been told that the dog was immediately adopted out and that it never came to the shelter. Greater Birmingham Humane Society officials have repeatedly stated that they have followed their policies and procedures. But until Greensboro police went to the Birmingham shelter Monday, shelter officials refused to be forthcoming with information about the dog, even after they were told it was stolen, said
Greensboro Assistant Police Chief Mike Hamilton.

Alabama students, faculty make Presidential Honor Roll for community service after tornado
The University of Alabama has been named to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor
Roll with Distinction for helping the community following the April 27 tornado that ripped a path of destruction in Tuscaloosa.
Alabama has made the list for the third consecutive year by the Corporation for National and Community
Service and the U.S. Department of Education. The university was one of 110 schools to receive the honor with distinction.
“The Presidential Honor Roll formally recognizes UA’s commitment to teaching students to identify needs within their communities and equipping students with the skills to effect change within those communities,” said Stephen Black, director of the UA Center for Ethics & Social Responsibility.
Following the tornado, a record number of UA students, faculty and staff volunteered with a host of relief agencies, and faculty members quickly developed and adapted service-learning courses through which students play key roles in recovery efforts – endeavors that will continue for several years.
“Preparing students to participate in our democracy and providing them with opportunities to take on local and global issues in their course work are as central to the mission of education as boosting college completion and closing the achievement gap,” said Eduardo Ochoa, the U.S. Department of Education’s assistant secretary for postsecondary education.

Alabama Happenings
A handful of second grade students pick strawberries outside Geneva County Elementary School on Friday. Although it’s unseasonably warm, the students seem to enjoy the break from their studies and the chance to be outside. Getting to take home a few strawberries didn’t dent their enthusiasm either.
“I never tried strawberries until we grew them out here,” Emily Calhoun said. “I didn’t know they were so good.”
Geneva County Elementary School Principal Becky Birdsong said the school’s half-acre garden plot teaches students basic agriculture and helps them develop an appreciation for different foods. Students help plant and tend onions, strawberries, carrots and other vegetables in raised rows. The produce grown is sold to the school’s lunchroom and to other schools in the county.
Birdsong said students take pride in the food they help grow, and are more likely to give a new vegetable a try if it’s grown in the garden.
“They love it,” Birdsong said. “It’s outside, it’s real. They see where their food comes from.”
No pesticides are sprayed on the plants the students grow, and liquid nitrogen fertilizer is applied by adults. Birdsong’s husband, William Birdsong, an extension specialist for the Wiregrass Research and Extension Center, helps with the garden, advising on how best to manage it.
Becky Birdsong said the school has had the garden for three years, and that it is useful in teaching students an appreciation for agriculture.
Sam Gooden, a student, said he liked working in the school garden.“It just feels good and you can have fun if you stay out here long enough,” he said.
