United Way of Central Alabama 2006 Community Needs Assessment United Way of Central Alabama Introduction and Opening Letter Community Needs Assessment To the Citizens of the United Way of Central Alabama area: The 2006 Community Needs Assessment is designed to provide our area with information that leads to focused and effective action on issues identified by community leaders. Over 1000 people throughout the region offered insights to this comprehensive look at today’s issues and trends, and the impact on our communities for the future. This information is provided by the United Way of Central Alabama as a service to private and public leaders who make decisions about health and human services. You will find it useful for: Decisions regarding charitable and civic funding of programs to enhance the lives of citizens in our communities Decisions regarding legislation and policy that affect households in our community Directing organizational efforts to explore issues more deeply through available resources and information. We especially appreciate the investment of time of all whose active involvement made this assessment possible. They met to direct the project design, provide information about issues unique to their counties, conducted interviews and surveys with groups of residents to ensure a representative response, provided key demographic and other data, and guided development of this report. United Way of Central Alabama sponsored the Community Needs Assessment. Our Planning and Community Initiative Committee will be working to identify priority areas for action, recognizing that these issues will require the coordinated and effective involvement of many within our five-county area. We look forward to working with you to address these important issues for our area! Barbara Galloway Harry L.

  • 0708 Carbon Sequestration and Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery Potential of the Cahaba and Coosa Coalfields in the Southern
    0708 Carbon Sequestration and Enhanced Coalbed Methane Recovery Potential of the Cahaba and Coosa Coalfields in the Southern Appalachian Thrust Belt M. R. McIntyre and J. C. Pashin Geological Survey of Alabama, P.O. Box 869999, Tuscaloosa, AL 35486 ABSTRACT Pennsylvanian coal-bearing strata in the Pottsville Formation of the Black Warrior basin in Alabama have been recognized as having significant potential for carbon sequestration and enhanced coalbed methane recovery, and additional potential may exist in Pottsville strata in smaller coalfields within the Appalachian thrust belt in Alabama. The Coosa and Cahaba coalfields contain as much as 8,500 feet of Pennsylvanian-age coal-bearing strata, and economic coal and coalbed methane resources are distributed among multiple coal seams ranging in thickness from 1 to 12 feet. In the Coosa coalfield, 15 named coal beds are concentrated in the upper 1,500 feet of the Pottsville Formation. In the Cahaba coalfield, by comparison, coal is distributed through 20 coal zones that span nearly the complete Pottsville section. Limited coalbed methane development has taken place in the Coosa coalfield, but proximity of a major Portland cement plant to the part of the coalfield with the greatest coalbed methane potential may present an attractive opportunity for carbon sequestration and enhanced coalbed methane recovery. In the Coosa coalfield, coalbed methane and carbon sequestration potential are restricted to the Coal City basin, where data from 10 coalbed methane wells and 24 exploratory core holes are available for assessment. Because of its relatively small area, the Coal City basin offers limited potential for carbon sequestration, although the potential for coalbed methane development remains significant.

  • THE WAR of 1812 in CLAY COUNTY, ALABAMA by Don C. East
    THE WAR OF 1812 IN CLAY COUNTY, ALABAMA By Don C. East BACKGROUND The War of 1812 is often referred to as the “Forgotten War.” This conflict was overshadowed by the grand scale of the American Revolutionary War before it and the American Civil War afterwards. We Americans fought two wars with England: the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Put simply, the first of these was a war for our political freedom, while the second was a war for our economic freedom. However, it was a bit more complex than that. In 1812, the British were still smarting from the defeat of their forces and the loss of their colonies to the upstart Americans. Beyond that, the major causes of the war of 1812 were the illegal impressments of our ships’ crewmen on the high seas by the British Navy, Great Britain’s interference with our trade and other trade issues, and the British incitement of the Native Americans to hostilities against the Americans along the western and southeast American frontiers. Another, often overlooked cause of this war was it provided America a timely excuse to eliminate American Indian tribes on their frontiers so that further westward expansion could occur. This was especially true in the case of the Creek Nation in Alabama so that expansion of the American colonies/states could move westward into the Mississippi Territories in the wake of the elimination of the French influence there with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, and the Spanish influence, with the Pinckney Treaty of 1796. Now the British and the Creek Nation were the only ones standing in the way of America’s destiny of moving the country westward into the Mississippi Territories.

  • The Indians of East Alabama and the Place Names They Left Behind
    THE INDIANS OF EAST ALABAMA AND THE PLACE NAMES THEY LEFT BEHIND BY DON C. EAST INTRODUCTION When new folks move to Lake Wedowee, some of the first questions they ask are: “what is the meaning of names like Wedowee and Hajohatchee?” and “what Indian languages do the names Wehadkee and Fixico come from?” Many of us locals have been asked many times “how do you pronounce the name of (put in your own local town bearing an Indian name) town?” All of us have heard questions like these before, probably many times. It turns out that there is a good reason we east Alabama natives have heard such questions more often than the residents of other areas in Alabama. Of the total of 231 Indian place names listed for the state of Alabama in a modern publication, 135 of them are found in 18 counties of east Alabama. Put in other words, 58.4% of Alabama’s Indian place names are concentrated in only 26.8% of it’s counties! We indeed live in a region that is rich with American Indian history. In fact, the boundaries of the last lands assigned to the large and powerful Creek Indian tribe by the treaty at Fort Jackson after the Red Stick War of 1813-14, were almost identical to the borders of what is known as the "Sunrise Region" in east central Alabama. These Indian names are relics, like the flint arrowheads and other artifacts we often find in our area. These names are traces of past peoples and their cultures; people discovered by foreign explorers, infiltrated by early American traders and settlers, and eventually forcefully moved from their lands.
