Just as Beachin rolls in waves and basks in rays of Alabama’s Gulf Coast, the areas of Gulf

Shores, Orange Beach and Fort Morgan inspire each issue with unique events, mouth-watering seafood and Southern dishes, apparel to suit beach bums and country clubbers.This guide to the Gulf Coast offers insight into local restaurants, nightlife, attractions and events will ensure time well spent on Pleasure Island.First and foremost, the humid subtropical climate and white-sand beaches provide an oasis for guests. Don flip-flops and Hawaiian shirts or just a bathing suit. Spend hours of tranquility against a crashing-ocean wave backdrop with a good book, umbrella drink, or a completely blank slate. Dig toes into grains of sand, collect sea mementos or build sandcastles with the kids. Take a refreshing dip or dive into water adventures like parasailing, jet skiing or surfing.The area also offers family fun outings like the zoo, miniature golf, arcades, go carts, outlet, surf shop and boutique shopping. Whether you’re looking for a new cover-up or an evening gown, Pleasure Island’s got you covered. Souvenirs range from shot glasses to seashells—go ahead, make your friends jealous. Or let your inner child out to play with a day filled of bumper boats, foam machines, Tiki huts and waterfalls.Or perhaps Pleasure Island provides playtime for you and your sweetheart. Golf the gorgeous shores of the Gulf of Mexico with lush greens, a golf cart and two cold glasses of sweet tea or head for some relaxation built for two with a trip to the spa for couples massages. Maybe a tandem bicycle ride by the beach or late night stroll on the boardwalk is more your style. Perhaps fine dining and dancing...nothing says “I love you” like cracking crab legs and whisking away for a salty-sea waltz.Or, why not have it all? Rock out to beach-side concerts, get inspires at the Orange Beach Festival of Art, dig in at the Island’s annual Shrimp Festival and jump for moon pies with Mardi Gras goers.Whatever your taste, leave the itinerary at home and let Beachin’ be your guide to Southern hospi-tality, sandy feet and memories that leave you craving your next opportunity to Beach-it.

Veterans’ Day Parade rolls in Foley Nov. 10By Jessica Jones

Here in Mardi Gras central, we often think of parades as fun-filled, street-lined events where floats don bright colors and elaborate themes, riders wear masks and costumes and fling goodies into the air toward event goers. But Veterans’ Day celebrates sacrifices of men and women who’ve fought for our country, and the holiday’s parade has the same goal.

Think back to times of ticker tape parades and the triumphant displays that unfolded. The parade was for the hero, not the attendee. As such, this parade is an opportunity for family, friends and members of the community to show appreciation to Foley area veterans.

Betty Island Morris, president of American Legion Auxiliary Unit 99, said she helps educate others about the purpose of the parade.

“Children along the way expect us to throw candy, and some do, but we try to teach everyone that this is for them (the vets),” she explained, “and so here’s something for them, like a flag, so wave this for them.”

“We encourage everyone to come out and support them because they’re proud of their service and we want to teach the children about it so they’ll know why they’re honored. Freedom is not free; someone had to pay the price for it.”

She said that any individual or organization can participate in the parade.

“We try to include all veterans’ organizations and any other organizations that want to come in and support them,” she said. “One car will honor the Ma-rine Corps, for example.”

And for the veterans who personally march, “It’s participation to say ‘I’m proud of my service,’” she explained.

The free event will be held at 10 a.m. Nov. 10th and begins at Griffin Park in Foley.

Post Commander Steve James at American Legion Post 99 said that the event will include JROTC from Michigan, along with co-sponsor VFW Post 5658 El-

berta, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 99, American Legion Post 44 in Gulf Shores and Auxiliary Unit 44 and probably Sons of the Confederacy and Daughters of the American Revolution.

Morris agreed that the parade has been a long tra-dition for these groups and the community.

“I began helping when my son became a com-mander six years ago,” Morris said. “I’ve been in the parade as an Auxiliary member and before as a Girl Scout.”

“I’ve participated in it all my life,” she laughed.LaDonna Hinesley, leisure-tourism marketing di-

rector at the city of Foley, said she’s proud to see our version of ticker tape as a heart-felt display.

“This is a great example of the best of what hap-pens in small towns because you have the veterans and the local High School band and so many local organizations, it’s really more of a community event.”

The parade will roll north on Austin, up to Violet then south on Pine and back across 98 to return to Griffin Park, according to Morris. Then at 11 a.m., American Legion Post 44’s division commander will speak about what it means to be a veteran. The public is invited to attend this event at the Park’s memorial after the parade.

James said that these are only a few ways to show respect for those who have seen the horrors of war.

“We continue to honor our vets because it is im-portant today — we lose tens of thousands of WWII veterans each year and they may not be here next year,” James divulged. “We need to say thank you to all veterans in the community and say thank you for their service since some vets of Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan weren’t honored. Some were cussed and called names when they came back, but when I see them, I say ‘thank you’ and I hug them.”

The parade begins forming at 9:30 a.m. All veter-ans, veterans organizations and other local organiza-tions are invited to march in this parade. Call James at 251-978-1702 by the beginning of November if you’d like to participate in the parade.

It was a beau�ful summer morning when Pam and I le Fairhope, low humidity and not a cloud in the sky. We were on our way down to Orange Beach to check out a business that many of our friends have told us about, an Englishman, Anthony Jones, who had opened a Hair Salon on the beach.

My hair is very important to me and ge�ng a good haircut is a must, and that is what Anthony Jones is known for. Excellent hair color to boot!

We have both been very dissa�sfied with the last few a�empts on designing our hair to suit our lifestyles. Most of the so called stylists did not take into considera�on our age or understand that we both want to look great without a lot of fuss and bother.

The traffic was a bit heavy due to the summer visitors, but we arrived on �me to this charming yellow and white beach house on the beach road with a fabulous view of the Gulf of Mexico. We were greeted warmly by Anthony and he ask us if we would like a cold drink or a glass of wine before he started making us beau�ful.

Pam went first since I was a li�le chicken aer the last experiences. He directed her to a styling chair and went on to explain the ten most important rules in designing a custom hairstyle to suit her. He first looked at her face shape explaining that there are five face shapes and her face shape was oval; Next was bone structure, head shape, the type of her hair, the texture of her hair, and then what sort of condi�on her hair was in, followed by the way the hair grows out of the head, including cow licks; then her likes and dislikes and fashion. Wow! What a lot of things to get right.

So then Anthony started with a relaxing shampoo and deep condi�oning. For the next 30 minutes Anthony’s hands were a sea of mo�on, ending with a quick blow dry with hardly any fuss and presto she was finished! She was so happy and she could not believe the difference in her hair.

Now it was my turn. My hair, especially in the summer, gets very frizzy and dry; I have tried everything out there with no success! Anthony explained that commercial hair products are made different than professional hair products. Commercial shampoos are made of mild detergent and the condi�oners are based on petroleum oil. Professional hair products are pure and natural and give back to the hair. He went on to say that we should wash our hair every day and condi�on the same. Anthony explained that at all �mes our hair has to have at least 8% moisture in it, the same as our skin. We

should treat our hair the same way as we treat our skin by moisturizing it every day, which made a lot of sense to me. My last stylist told me not to wash my hair every day

because, in her mind, it would dry it out. Anthony explained to me that yes using some drug store products would dry your hair out if washed

daily. Aer we went through

the ten rules he took me to the shampoo area and treated me to the best shampoo and condi�oning my hair had ever. While shampooing he explained to me what I should do in the morning in the shower, again stressing no over the counter

hair products, that’s why my hair is dry and frizzy. Aer shampooing, and before condi�oning, towel

blot the hair because the hair is porous like a sponge, pu�ng any condi�oner on one’s hair when it is full of water will not go into the hair itself, so blot it first then apply the product and leave it in while you are washing yourself. Then before you leave the shower rinse and count up to 10 slowly and stop, just rinsing the excess off, no more. Aer he explained to me the how & whys I understood. He is like a hair doctor, if we listen and do what he says it works!

Anthony has his own line of products and everything he used on me was his and believe me the stuff works.

The cut he gave me was wonderful. I walked out a new woman and so did Pam, no more frizzes! Oh by the way he used a great product before he dried my hair called “POTION.” It is a gel with a lot of healing features with body, fabulous... I bought a bo�le. Anyway our cuts cost us $40 each, best money we ever spent and yes we are definitely going back, he is a true professional. Well worth a visit!

Anthony Jones’ Salon is located on Perdido Beach Blvd. in Orange Beach; the phone number is 251-974-1514. Please say we sent you!

Papa Rocco’s keeps up:Tasty pizza and oysters, laid back atmosphereBy Jessica Jones

Papa Rocco’s in Gulf Shores claims to be the “home of warm beer and lousy pizza” – a statement that speaks for their atmosphere, but definitely not their flavor.

An area institution since March 1985, Papa Roc-co’s offers live music seven nights a week, along with consistently good food. Creative takes on Italian favorites include the Flying Tomato: whole slices of tomato, bacon, feta cheese, onions and

pesto sauce, Seafood Primav-era Pizza: Alfredo sauce,

mozzarella cheese, shrimp, scallops,

mushrooms, onions and

broccoli and the Chicken Club Pizza: grilled

chicken, Alfredo sauce, spinach, mozzarella cheese, fresh tomatoes and bacon bits.

The latter, according to General Manager Nico-las Weidinger, is the best-selling item on the menu.

And it’s no wonder. Fresh baked dough sets the tone for the tongue just as toppings send taste buds into a flavor frenzy. Rich spinach and Alfredo rise to the occasion as fresh tomatoes burst, fol-lowed by smoky notes of bacon that round out the dish. This pie packs each bite full of textures and complementary notes. Not the typical pepperoni, for sure.

Bill McGinnes, owner, said that he finds satisfac-tion in marching to his own beat.

“I was a mechanical engineer in Detroit and I was burned out on that,” he began. “In the evening, I’d love to go out to eat dinner and watch them (the restaurant workers). I thought, I’d love to give that a try. I came down here, remodeled this building, and made a pizzeria and oyster bar. People thought

that was crazy and told me it won’t work, so I knew it would work.”

He admits that restaurant goers must like the combination of seafood dishes and Italian.

“They went hand in hand and it worked; people come in here for both.”

The Gulf Shores icon boasts winter specials such as Mondays’ Oyster Stew for $5.95, Tuesdays’ salmon patties for $6.95 and Thursdays’ Prime Rib for $11.25. Plus Wednesdays’ and Sundays’ all-you-can-eat spaghetti for $5.75.

Of course, the full bar comes complete with hamburgers and nachos, not to mention all the favorites like wings, boiled shrimp, chili and steak sandwiches. And the full menu is served until midnight.

McGinnes and Weidinger both said they take pride in offering the Who’s Your Daddy Burger — a monstrous double decker with Swiss and Ameri-can cheeses, mushrooms and bacon.

“We take pride in our menu — Italian to the best hamburger on the island,” according to McGinnes.

Papa Rocco’s shows all Alabama and Auburn games, plus NFL games. Live music is offered seven nights a week, he said.

“We have live recordings that we sell; local and out of town celebrities have graced my stage,” he beamed. “Pictures of different celebrities line the walls and people like to come in and look at all the pictures.”

With good food, great entertainment and signa-ture cocktails like the TKO punch, McGinnes said customers appreciate the restaurant’s atmosphere the most.

“When they come in here, I want them to feel like they’re at home and relaxed,” he said. “People sit at the bar and can talk to each other — it’s a horse-shoe shaped bar. Everybody knows every-body, and strangers come in and I’m here to greet them. Then they mix with locals and become repeat customers. I try to convey a friendly atmo-sphere plus my wait staff and bartenders stay…same staff and same place. Only change may be a few more pictures hanging on the wall.”

There is a truly remarkable woman living among us that people of the community really need to know about: Carolyn Doughty, mayor pro-tem of Gulf Shores. Her resume reads like an encyclo-pedia. She was born and raised in Citronelle; she lived there from birth until 1964 and she moved to Gulf Shores in 1979.

She has two daughters, a son and six grandchildren, one brother and one sister. A member of St. Andrews by the Sea com-munity church, her hobbies are gardening (a back yard full of plants), travel (Hawaii and Europe five times) and photography (taking photos of her children and grand-children).

She graduated Citronelle High School in ‘63, attended Auburn University, then Uni-versity of Alabama till 1966 when she left to go to Providence Hospital’s School of Medical Technol-ogy and was registered as a medical technologist in 1967. While working she attended the University of Alabama part time till 1969 when she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in microbiology. And 1967 through 1971 she worked at Birmingham Medi-cal Group as a medical technologist, then manager of their laboratory. From 1972 till 1979 she was a medical technician in charge of a lab at Columbi-ana Clinic.

As a child, her family had spent a lot of time in Gulf Shores. They all loved the area and in 1962 her dad bought a lot on the Fort Morgan peninsula and built a cabin there. To this day, her dad, Her-bert Malone, 92, and her mom, Bernice, 88, still live there.

She traveled back and forth from Columbiana to Gulf Shores; she still remembers one trip when her 6 year-old son asked, “Why did God make the Gulf so far from home?”

In 1979, they made the move and came to the beach. They lived in a mobile home on the Bay when first moving here, and two and a half weeks later, Hurricane Fredrick hit.

From 1979 through 1984 she worked with Dr. Sam Roberts and then Dr. Tomas Norton as a physician assistant and medical technician. There

were not many doctors here then and not much demand for medical technicians, so in 1979, she went to work with Meyer Real Estate, starting as a part-time sales associate and working her way to sales administrative manager. Since 1980, she’s been a member of Baldwin, Alabama, and national

associations of realtors. Other interests consisted of positions

such as treasurer of Gulf Shores Sports Association, president of the first PTA at Gulf Shores Elementary School, one of the founders and charter members of the Junior Woman’s Club of Gulf Shores and member of the Island Spirit Committee.

She’s held every position of the Baldwin County Association of realtors and in 1989, was Baldwin County Board of realtor’s real-

tor of the year. Continuing her accolades, she was a member

of the Community Educational Advisory Council of the Baldwin County Board of Education, edu-cational trustee for the Alabama Association of Realtors, a graduate of Leadership Baldwin and member of Board of Directors of Baldwin County Chapter of the American Cancer Society. From 1997 to 2000 she went from team member to co-chairman of the Alabama Gulf Coast Relay for Life and from ‘99 on, she’s been a member of Baldwin County United. She’s been a member of Board of Directors of the Alabama Gulf Coast Area Cham-ber of Commerce, a member of Gulf Shores Plan-ning Commission and since 2001, she’s served as a Gulf Shores council member.

She’s also on the Library Board, the chairman of the Gulf Shores Economic Development Com-mittee and member of Envision Coastal Alabama. As if that’s not enough, she’s a member of Mobile Botanical Gardens, a member of Baldwin County Public Transit Coalition, Gulf Shores Beautifica-tion Board , Gulf Shores Utilities Board of Direc-tors, and secretary of Gulf Shores.

Doughty is also a member of the Utilities Board of Directors, Envision Coastal Alabama Advisory board, Finance Committee, Alabama Association

of realtors Professional Standards Committee, Coastal Resilien-cy Coalition; and she’s Mayor’s Public Safety Advisory Group, chairman of Gulf Shores ACE Committee, the Mayor’s Liaison council member to the Public Works Department, a graduate of Leadership Alabama, and not to forget, since 2004, she’s been mayor pro-tem for the City of Gulf Shores.

Asking how she got involved in politics, she told me she always loved, and cared, about the Island. Because of her obvi-ous interests in the Island, Mayor Bodenhamer asked her to be on the Planning Commission in 1989. In 2001, Councilman George Harris passed away and she was asked by council mem-bers to run for his position. Since then, she’s been three years with Mayor Bodenhamer, four years with Mayor Duke, and now, four years with Mayor Craft. She says the Council is made up of citizens totally dedicated to help the city and the Island be a wonderful place to live and a wonderful place to come visit. For obvious reasons, I’ve left some positions, and many awards, unmentioned, but after reading this, all we can say is what a remarkable woman, and how fortunate we are to have her with us ON THE ISLAND.

‘WHO’S ON THE ISLAND’


Leaves are falling, the wind has a cold bite to it, the Gulf waters are clearer, and you have dug out all those thick long sleeve shirts and jackets. Must be fall along the Gulf Coast. I know a lot of fishermen put their boats up until spring and move to the woods.

Well, I enjoy a day in the woods myself, but during hunting season the waters of south Alabama are loaded with hungry Specks and Red Fish. Flounder are still around and White Trout and Ground Mullet can be had in large numbers, plus Sheepshead are always a possi-bility.

This month, the Specks will be in deeper water in the bay trying to gain a few pounds for the winter. You can catch Specks using every method you’ve used this summer: Shrimp, of course, is always a good bait. Tight line, free line, and under popping corks will do just fine. Just go a little slower and deeper. Try plastics on the same rigs and at the same slower speed.

My plastics box now is filled with the newer scent baits in Shrimp, Sand Flea and Crab. I keep all colors and most sizes of these lures and seem to do very well with them. I use the 2 inch Shrimp for White Trout with good results. The cut bait strips work great as well.

Try all the in-shore rigs and man-made reefs. Look for schools of bait and gulls diving on the warmer days. Weeks Bay will do as well in the first part of November as it did in October. The bay will not be deep so watch out for the stuff that has floated down the rivers.

Red fish, of course, will take Shrimp, cut bait, small Lys, as well as most plastics and spoons. Hard lures will work too, as will top water in some cases. Fish all piers, docks, bulk heads, and anywhere else that may hold bait fish. Be careful, because sometimes those pesky Flounder will steal your bait. I know that you hate that, especially when the Flounder get to the 4-pound range and start to strip your line off.

This month will be a great time to get off shore a little, if the wind will let you. Sand Island will hold some Red Fish and large Trout on good days. The Light House will have large schools of Ground Mullet on the west side and some great Red Fish near the rocks and on the north side.

When I go, there I’ll carry light and heavy rigs and catch small Ground Mullet and use them for bait with a heavy rig set in a rod holder as I fish with light tackle for some keeper Ground Mullet. The close-in gas rigs will hold some great White Trout this month. Again, those pesky Flounder will be around trying to get your

bait, but that’s something that we just have to deal with on the Gulf Coast.

Cut bait, Squid, small Lys, Shrimp, and plastics will fill your fish box with little effort. The Dixey Bar will still hold some large Red Fish this month, but if you want to move around a little, try pulling a Mann 25 a good distance behind your boat as you move up and down the coast. Look for eruptions on sand and mud in the clear water. If you see the eruptions, steer your boat around them and cause your Mann 25 to be pulled through the eruption. Most likely there will be some big Red Fish hunting for bait fish and small Crabs that are causing the mud “balls” and when they hit that Mann 25 at full speed, you’ll learn why they call them Bull Reds.

All in all this month is a great month for South Alabama fishermen. What can be better than less traffic and big gatherings of quality fish? Be safe and stay dry. Know Alabama’s laws on boating and fishing and every time you catch a Red Fish, go thank a marine resource officer. They do their job very well, in my opinion. Call anytime, backbayfishingwithdon.com or 251-550-5418.

8 oz. Sprite2 shots cherry flavored vodka1 shot peach schnappsSpritz of lemon

Mix ingredients together and serve chilled. Garnish with cherries. Makes 1 serving.

Savory Stromboli

TO MAKE DOUGH:1 envelope (2 ¼ tsp.) pizza dough yeast1/2 teaspoon brown sugar1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F)1 teaspoon salt2 tablespoons olive oil3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes. 2. Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour. 3. Knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Cover dough with oil and refrigerate (any-

where from 10 min. to 1 hour. Let the dough rise. Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute, then sling dough back and forth between hands to form a flat shape. 4. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil the pizza pan or baking sheet.5. Flatten dough into an oval shape and use a butter knife to cut 2-inch slits in dough: cut the four diagonals, plus two slits about 2-3 inches apart on the four sides of the oval. See photo.

TOP AND WRAP:Brown cubes of steak or hamburger meat and half of a yellow onion over medium heat, drain and set aside. Spread 1/3 c. marina sauce on dough, add meat and onion mixture, then top with ½ c. mozzarella cheese. Wrap the Stromboli by pulling opposing opposite corners of dough strips to the center, then pull the bottom right dough strip across the center to the left, then the bottom left dough strip across the center to the right. Repeat the process with the top strips. The dough should be pulled tight and tucked under the opposite bottom of the Stromboli so that dough sticks together and holds ingredients inside. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
