July 26, 2012 – Hamilton, AL Candidate Forum 2012 was held tonight at Dollies Restaurant (Located Inside the EconoLodge Inn & Suites) in Hamilton, AL.

06/22/2012 – Health authorities advise the public not to handle wildlife, transport, or keep them as pets
Health authorities advise the public not to handle wildlife, transport or keep them as pets
CONTACT:
Karen Landers, M.D., (256) 383-1231
James Congleton, (256) 383-1231
Dee W. Jones, D.V.M., (334) 206-5969
Recent rabies exposures involving raccoons and a stray kitten prompt reminders that the public should avoid handling wildlife and unknown animals. In Baldwin County, the Alabama Department of Public Health has confirmed one of four baby raccoons tested was positive for rabies and has identified all children and adults exposed. Health authorities are working with medical providers to evaluate the need for appropriate treatment.
The baby raccoons were transported to a family’s residence in northwest Alabama. In Lee County, several persons who handled a rabid stray kitten at the Lee County Humane Shelter have been identified and those who have been exposed are beginning a treatment regimen.
“We strongly urge people not to handle wildlife, stray animals and bats,” said Dr. Dee W. Jones, State Public Health Veterinarian. “As these examples illustrate, exposure to rabies can be avoided by leaving wildlife in the wild. Furthermore, the act of transporting wildlife in Alabama is illegal.”
With these incidents in mind, public health officials encourage pet owners to ensure their dogs, cats and ferrets are vaccinated against the fatal disease. To protect yourself, your family and your pets from exposure to the rabies virus, follow these precautions:
•Avoid domestic and wild animals that are acting in a strange or unusual manner. •Teach children to stay away from animals that are hurt or unknown to them. •Instruct children to avoid approaching any wild animal, whether or not it is acting strangely. •Advise children to tell an adult if they are bitten or scratched by an animal.
If you get an animal bite or scratch, wash the wound thoroughly under running water, immediately seek medical attention from your doctor or a hospital, and report the incident to your county health department for follow-up. Rabies is a disease of all mammals, including humans, and is always considered to be fatal unless preventative treatment is given following the exposure. The primary means of exposure is through a bite or scratch with contaminated saliva from the animal. Transmission of the deadly virus also can occur if saliva contacts mucous membranes of the eye or mouth.
Pets can be a common connection between wildlife and humans. Vaccination of domestic dogs, cats and ferrets not only protects the animals against rabies, but also creates an additional protective buffer between wildlife rabies and humans. State law requires that dogs, cats and ferrets remain currently vaccinated against rabies. The law also requires that if a pet bites or scratches a human, it must be quarantined for a period of 10 days immediately afterward. As an additional incentive to keep pets vaccinated, pets with proof of vaccination may be authorized in certain circumstances to be quarantined at home instead of in a veterinary clinic.
For more information please contact the Alabama Department of Public Health, Bureau of Communicable Disease, Epidemiology Division, at 1-800-677-0939. Additional information is available at www.adph.org/rabies/.

06/22/2012 – Capitol Report – Senator Roger Bedford
Senator Roger Bedford
Capitol Report for June 22nd
It’s been a very busy and exciting time for Senate District 6. Recently, the State of Alabama rolled out its new Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program (ATRIP) road building program. It will be a three-year program I was pleased to work with Governor Robert Bentley to get this program going and am glad that it is being implemented. This program will help all of our counties, plus those across the state. As a part of Phase One of the ATRIP program, around 105 road and bridge projects will be funded and carried out, which is incredibly important because we need to see that our county roads and bridges are kept in good shape.
I am pleased to announce that five projects have already been selected for funding under Phase One of the ATRIP program. County Road 16 in Franklin County will be getting a full depth reclamation by Force Account from CR-88 to US-43. Jackson Avenue will be getting resurfaced from Tuscaloosa Street to Cotaco Street, which is one of the more heavily traveled roads in the City of Russellville. The City of Vina will add turn lanes on State Route 9 at Vina Industrial Park Road. The bridge on County Road 49 over Hell’s Creek in Lamar County and a few bridges on County Road 13 in Marion County will be getting improved.
Our other counties and/or cities are submitting ATRIP project applications, and I hope that we obtain some funds for them soon. All of these projects require a local match of funds, but a vast majority of the money is coming from the State of Alabama. I’m pleased to see these road improvements within our Senate District, and while there is still more to be done, every project helps.
In addition to these highway projects, I would like to make it known that the Alabama Department of Transportation will open bids for four highway projects on June 29th. These projects will include:
Resurfacing and traffic stripping SR-243 from station 16+18 south of the Cedar Creek Bridge to station 65+32 at CR-44 in Franklin County
Resurfacing SR-4 from the west end of the bridge over CR-45 to the east end of the bridge at SR-44 in Marion County
Resurface and traffic stripping SR-4 from the Mississippi state line to west of CR-66 in Marion County
Infrastructure improvements to the sidewalks along Wolf Road, Valley Road, Mary Lou Street, Paul Street, Brown Street, and Crest Road
These projects are much-needed, and I am looking forward to all the progress our senate district will be making with these updates.
I am also excited to announce that the Alabama Department of Economic Affairs (ADECA) has awarded funding to Bevill State Community College and Northwest Shoals Community College.
Bevill State received $373,003.00 through the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) to administer a youth program designed to direct out-of-school youth, ages 16-21, to promising career paths. The program will serve WIA eligible youths in Walker, Fayette, Lamar, Marion, and Pickens counties. The program elements will include occupational skills training, work experience, mentoring, counseling, educational assistance, and other appropriate activities.
Bevill State also received a $2,286,742.00 Workforce Development Area Contract Award. This grant will provide funding for administrative costs to continue to provide services to adult, youth and dislocated workers at Alabama Career Centers. The Counties served: Blount, Calhoun, Cherokee, Cleburne, Colbert, Cullman, DeKalb, Etowah, Fayette, Franklin, Jackson, Lamar, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Marion, Marshall, Morgan, St. Clair, Walker, and Winston.
Northwest Shoals Community College received $486,000.00 through the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) to provide intensive tutoring for out-of-schools youth, ages 16-21, in basic skills for GED attainment, guidance, and assistance in preparation for postsecondary opportunities. The program will partner with existing community agencies in the area to provide academic, life skills training, leadership and job development. This program will serve youth in Colbert, Franklin, Lawrence, Lauderdale, Marion and Winston counties.
These funds are essential, as workforce development is crucial to the success and continued growth of our citizens and businesses.
I would like to commend and thank Dr. Anne McNutt, President of Bevill State Community College, and Dr. Humphrey Lee, President of Northwest Shoals Community College, for their dedication in continuing education and skills development to better our community. I would like to also thank the Mayors, Commissioners, and local officials, as well as the Governor, ADECA Director Jim Byard, and the members of the Legislature for your hard work in obtaining these funds that will improve the quality of life for the citizens of north Alabama.
This week, I was thankful to have had the opportunity to travel around the district to Fayette, Lamar, and Colbert counties, and visit with a few groups of hardworking, great men and woman. These fine folks regularly put their lives on the line for their communities, and it was my honor to present checks to their volunteer fire departments. We were able to deliver checks to Fayette, Lamar and Colbert counties with the other county checks to be presented in the upcoming months. While they deserve so much more than the amounts presented to them, I was grateful to have the funds appropriated for them.
I am proud of all that we have accomplished in our community, but there is still more hard work to be done. I hope you all have a wonderful week and enjoy time with your families outside in this beautiful weather.
