Volunteers sought for community cleanup of Valley Creek in Midfield, Bessemer | al.com: MIDFIELD, Alabama -- Jefferson County Health Officer Mark Wilson waded across Valley Creek in Midfield today carrying an algae-covered DVD player.
In the clear water at his feet, a small bass swam against the current, moving between channels carved in the limestone of the streambed. There were small pods of minnows, scattered shells of snails and mussels, and, at a wary distance, a heron prowled the shallows.
