If you are a registered voter in Alexander City, you need to ask yourself the following question: Where will I be Thursday night?
If you’re wondering why I am suggesting the question, it’s because the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce’s candidate forum is scheduled for Thursday evening on the campus of Central Alabama Community College.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of

pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any
circumstances.
Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when possible
and drink plenty of water.

shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency! Call 9 1 1.
