ったことを大変喜ばしく思い、また、将来アラバマ州に移り住むことをお考えになられている方たちを一日も早く歓迎できること を、心より願っております。 今までに培われてきたアラバマ州と日本との経済的関係は、これからのアラバマ州と日本との更なる交流の進展の基盤であり ます。現在アラバマ州には、60社以上の日系企業が存在し、これらの日系企業の現地雇用者数は14,000人以上にも上って おります。さらには、アラバマ州にとって日本は輸出最大国であり、輸出製品は通信手段から農作物とさまざまなものを網羅し ています。その経済効果は、アラバマ州と日本との更なる交流進展の良き要素として存在しているわけであります。 このような経済的関係だけではなく、それを基盤にし、現在アラバマ州では文化、教育面においてもさまざまな 交流の発展が進んでいます。州内に存在する日本に姉妹都市を持つ数々の市町村、あるいは州内の多くの大学で 学ぶ交換留学生によって、日々アラバマ州の人々は日本人との交流を 深めており、また、ここアラバマ州で増えつつある日本人人口に伴っ て州内多くの街々で開かれる日本のフェスティバルにおいて、アラバ マ州の人々は日本の文化に直接触れる機会が与えられていることに、 大きな喜びを覚えています。 そうした意味では、このような日本とアラバマ州との交流の架け橋の 担い手として、努力を惜しまないアラバマ日米協会には、心よりの敬 意を評したいと思います。また、私もアラバマ州知事としてこれから もアラバマ州と日本との交流の進展のために努力を惜しまずに続けて いくことを、皆様にお約束いたします。私たちは、これからも日本と の文化的また経済的関係に貢献していくことを、ここに改めて表明し アラバマ州知事 ボブ・ライリー たいと思います。 Bob Riley Governor, State of Alabama www.governor.alabama.gov 2 l The Japan-America Society of Alabama アラバマ日米協会よりのご挨拶 Message from the JASA officers このガイドブックの初版は、2002年にアラバマ日米教会（JASA）を中心にアラバマ州政府機関 （Alabama Development Office）、日本貿易振興機構（JETRO）、在アトランタ日本国総領事館の共同作業で、アラバマでの生活を計画されている方々 や、既に生活を始められた方々のために発行されました。 その後2004年には、ペリー来航と日米通商条約締結150周年記念行事の一環として、ガイドの改訂作業が行われ、写真や 図などを多く取り入れて改めて出版されたアラバマ・ガイドは多くの方々に好評を博する結果となり、私共JASAアラバマ・ガイ ド出版委員会一同、またご協力下さったボランティアの皆様方共に、このことを大変光栄に受け止めた次第です。 ここアラバマ州は、「ハート・オブ・ディキシー（南部の中心）」のニックネームを持ち、日本人が誇りとする「厚遇（米国南部では サザン・ホスピタリティと表現されます）」を誇りとするユニークな州でもあります。本アラバマ・ガイド2007-2008年版が、これ からアラバマ州で生活を始められる方々、また既にアラバマ州に在住されている方々にとって少しでもお役に立つことを切に 願っております。 今回もここにアラバマ・ガイドを改訂出版するに当たってご協力いただきましたアラバマ日米協会の会員各位、 ボランティアの方々、日本貿易振興機構、アラバマ州政府、ハンツビル商工会議所をはじめとして、情報を提供 下さった多くの政府機関及び経済開発局の方々に改めてここに感謝の意を表させていただきたいと思います。 マック・グリーブズ ラリー・スウェトニック 森谷タマラ Mac Greaves Larry

  • 2016-2017 Annual Report
    2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Honorable Kay Ivey Governor of Alabama State Capitol Montgomery, AL 36130 Dear Governor Ivey: I am pleased to submit the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2016-17. The Department continues to find more efficient ways to communicate and con- duct business with our constituents. License purchases, special hunt registrations and park lodge and camping reservations are available through our websites, www.outdooralabama.com and www.alapark.com. In addition, we are communi- cating to more than half a million people through email newsletters and notices. Funds derived from the cap on sales tax discounts were restored to State Parks in FY 2017. These funds have provided much-needed relief in addressing the back- log of park maintenance projects. Park guests totaled just under 5 million this fiscal year. The federal management of red snapper and other reef fish continues to be a highly volatile issue within the fishing community. Our Marine Resources Division is working with federal agencies and Congress to provide more state oversight of this fishery and a longer season for anglers. Snapper Check, which continued for the fourth year, is an important part of this effort. The State Lands Division has administered the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP) on behalf of the State of Alabama since its beginning in 2005. During the life of this program, which closed this year, State Lands administered 49 grants for over $58 million funding various coastal project activities supporting Mobile and Baldwin counties. Participation in the state’s Game Check system for the recording and reporting of both deer and turkey harvests became mandatory during the 2016/2017 hunting seasons.

Cast of iron in Birmingham, Vulcan served as the Birmingham and Alabama exhibit for the St. Louis World’s Fair. As god of the forge, he holds a spearpoint he has just made on his anvil. The spearpoint is of polished steel. In a gesture of triumph, the colossal smith extends his arm upward. About his feet, piles of mineral resources extol Alabama’s mineral wealth and its capability of making colossal quantities of iron, such as that showcased in the statue, and of steel (as demonstrated with the spearpoint).
