ust 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, Jessica Jones 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 hospitality, sandy feet and memories that leave you craving your next opportunity to Beach-it.

Christmas Arts and Crafts Bazaar comes to Foley Indoor Flea Market Lindsay Mott

The Foley Indoor Flea Market is adding a little holiday cheer to its offerings this year by hosting a Christmas Arts and Crafts Bazaar to kick off the holiday season. On Dec. 9, the flea market will extend its offerings to include Christmas arts and crafts from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. These one-time vendors will be open inside at the flea market and are bringing sculpted metal, ornaments, handmade wreaths, jewelry, children’s clothing and more. “Everybody loves to buy handmade gifts, so it’s a perfect time to have this,” said Tammy White, manager of the Foley flea market. The market will also be a drop off site for Toys for Tots and a food pantry for the local ecumenical ministry. Donations for both are accepted. The flea market staff is using the bazaar to add something extra to its usual offerings and to give the vendors a chance to see the market itself and decide if it’s something they might want to join permanently. “We’re always trying to promote small businesses and encourage people to open booths here,” White said.

They’re now getting back into their busier season, according to White. She said the market and the bazaar will have many unique gifts and that homemade items give patrons a chance to find something they’ve never found before. The flea market is open year-round Thursday through Monday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It has items like computers, bling jewelry, knives, fishing poles, furniture, antiques, appliances and much more. “We have everything including your kitchen sink,” White said. The Christmas bazaar will not interrupt normal flea market vendors and operations. The market is pet friendly and admission is free. Vendors prefer cash or checks, but some accept credit and debit cards. There is an ATM on site and layaway is available through most sellers. Vendors can rent space by the month or the day, and there are hook ups available for RVs. The flea market hosts a number of events each year, including a car show, an RV show and a boat show. Adding the holiday bazaar is just another way to add to its unique events and offerings. The flea market is located at 14809 Highway 59 in North Foley. For more information, call 251-943-6349.

New ice skating rink at The Wharf in Orange Beach By John Mullen

It got so chilly in Orange Beach the weekend before Thanksgiving, an ice skating rink popped up at The Wharf. Well, maybe not that chilly, but as part of the Coastal Christmas celebration on Pleasure Island, an ice skating rink did pop up in the parking deck behind Ginny Lane at The Wharf. The Alabama Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce and Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Tourism, along with local businesses are spearheading the effort to make the area a Christmas destination. The ice rink was part of the kick-off weekend when it opened Friday, Nov. 23 at 10 a.m. Admission is $8 and includes skates. For $10 you can skate and get a ride on The Wharf ’s Ferris wheel. A company called Ice Rink Events began the work on Thursday, continued through Friday and started making ice on Saturday. Sunday the ice was four inches thick. “We do this all over the world from India to Hong Kong,” Proj-

ect Manager Dave Pritchard said. “We’re probably 35 rinks into 50 we’ll do this year.” Warner said the company levels off a spot on the parking lot with wood and sand and rows and rows of piping are laid on top of the sand. “It’s like a great big coil that you wrap inside the ice,” Gray said. “We’ve got several tractor trailers coming in with piping and they will essentially unwrap the coils up and down the ice skating rink over and over again. We build this great big sandbox and once that’s built they lay in the pipes.” Prichard said the pipes are frozen by a huge compressor before the water is added. “It’s not like making a swimming pool,” he said. “We drop the tubes to zero degrees and we start spraying them with water. The water freezes to the pipe and then we spray more water on that til it freezes. It will take about two days for the ice to build up. “It builds up over time once we get that chiller cranked up.” Each night more water will be sprayed on to fill in the ruts to get the surface ready for the next

day, Warner said. Hours of operation will be from 4 p.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m.-10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. There is an entire slate of events including church concerts, tree lightings, several Santa Claus events, open houses and parades.

options. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For my senior year in high school, I really want us to be a family.â&#x20AC;? Decision made: next move would be to Georgia. Lockheed sent them to Tripoli to await Cliff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement, and then they headed for Georgia. Back in Georgia, Bobbie taught bridge at the YMCA where one of her students persuaded her to join his financial planning company. She did, and began studying for the CLU designation, which was conferred in 1981. In 1982 she opened the fifth Regional Office in Atlanta for New England Life; in 1987 she helped form Peachtree Planning Corporation, which grew to 68 associates with 12 offices. The family bought a 26-foot Macgregor sailboat that they sailed on Lake Lanier. During one of their afternoon sailings, they met the developer of Sailboat Bay in Bon Secour who invited them to come see the condos, and check out the area. They bought one of the condos. In 1990, they both retired and came to live in Alabama and bought a home ON THE ISLAND. They both spent time golfing, and Bobbie became involved in Friends of the Library and in the Ambassadors Club. She served on the board of directors for the Chamber of Commerce, the Literacy Council in Foley and the Republican Baldwin County Executive Committee. Bobbie formed a Council for Investment Clubs and assisted in setting up numerous clubs around the area. In addi-

tion, she volunteered for the Red Cross and is presently chair of the Library Advisory Board in Gulf Shores. She also chairs the Annual Friends of the Library Bake Sale. Bobbie still marks off items from her bucket list. However, she has completed more than most could ever hope for, such as traveling around Mexico to compare the pyramids in Mexico to those in Egypt, spending an October in New England to experience the fall season of colors and even took her granddaughter on a trip out west. She toured Nova Scotia and Canada, she learned to play the piano, loves to sew and is a gourmet cook. On one of her adventures, she met up with her family in Vail to ski, then down to Las Vegas, to southern California and an Amtrak ride back to New Orleans. Before Cliff died of cancer, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary by spending a month in Vail, Colo. skiing, and a month â&#x20AC;&#x153;Down Underâ&#x20AC;? sailing to New Zealand, then back to Australia to snorkel at the Great Barrier Reef. Bobbie writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have had a wonderful life and all the achievements aside, the most rewarding and meaningful were being a supportive partner/wife for Cliff and a devoted mother to our son. I have two granddaughters, one grandson and two great-grandchildren. I am truly blessed.â&#x20AC;? To that, I would say that those of us who are ON THE ISLAND are truly blessed to have Bobbie Rooker as one of us.

December has arrived again. This month will be a little hard to fish. Not because of the fish, but because of the wind and cold. Plus the water will be really low at low tide because of the wind. When the water is low there are more things to hit with the boat and prop. Still, the fish are here as always so slow down, dress warmly, stay dry and hit the rivers along Mobile Bay. My favorite river is Bon Secour (safe harbor). Specks should be in almost all of the deeper holes and ditches. Fish live shrimp or plastics really slow and deep. The Specks will be a little sluggish so take your time and pay attention to that light, easy bite. Fish River as well as Magnolia River will hold Trout as well and will require the same slow approach. Red fish will also be on the rivers. This is a good month to hunt the Slot Reds. And the same as Trout, use live shrimp and plastics. I use gulp baits and hook the baits in the eye on a khale hook just like it was a live shrimp. Use under a slip cork or free lines with a tight line. Just so it’s slow and easy. If you can find a light wind day, hit the Dixie Bar with some fresh Mullet cut in a fillet off the back bone and then cut with an angled cut to form a triangle piece of bait. Hook the bait at the narrow end using a Carolina rig and fish the bottom. Bull Red fish do feed by smell some times and Mullet will leave that scent line. You may also be able to get to the close in rigs on windless days. If so, take some salted shrimp with you and fish on bottom around the legs of the rigs for Sheepshead. They, too, may be a little slow, but they will bite. Sheepshead will fry up really nice on these cold December days. If you have time, head north to the Causeway and look for birds diving for bait on the surface. If the bait is on top. it’s because the Specks are under them and feeding. The fish will spook and move but if you stay quiet the birds will follow and keep your school of Trout in sight. Keep in mind that deer season is in so there will be hunters all over the Delta. Don’t be afraid to

wear orange hats while fishing. Better safe, sometimes. Keep your boat in good shape and pay really close attention to the water depth. No one needs to spend a night up the Delta in December on a small boat. It gets really cold at night. Hope you have a great month. Know the laws and rules of the road. Stay safe.

Gulf Shores invites residents, visitors to enjoy Christmas on the coast Submitted by the City of Gulf Shores

The City of Gulf Shores has announced plans for its annual holiday celebration and invites residents and visitors to enjoy their Christmas on the Alabama Gulf Coast. “The City of Gulf Shores is proud to be partnering with the Alabama Gulf Coast Chamber of Commerce and local businesses in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach to promote the Coastal Christmas campaign,” said Grant Brown, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Director. “We encourage all businesses to participate by decorating for the season and helping to make our community a magical destination for our residents and visitors.” The holiday activities include Gulf Shores’ 3rd Annual Christmas Parade and Beach Celebration on Saturday, Dec. 1. The parade will begin at 4 p.m. and will feature festive floats from around the region. Large crowds of spectators looking to soak up the holiday spirit are anticipated along Highway 59 as parade entries make their way from Clubhouse Drive to the Gulf Shores Public Beach. “We couldn’t be more excited about this year’s parade,” said Programs and Events Manager, Brigette Reynolds. “Our parade doubled in size last year and we are looking forward to welcoming even more participants this year.” The excitement from the parade will roll continuously

into the night as the Beach Celebration will kick off at the Gulf Shores Public Beach, immediately following the parade. Families can enjoy a stunning lighting ceremony followed by pictures with Santa, a live nativity, live entertainment, holiday treats, crafts and much more. This year’s event will also feature a special treat for those families looking for a compromise on this big day. “We know many families want to pack as much fun into their holidays as possible and also understand how important football is in this part of the country,” said Reynolds. “This year fans can enjoy the best of both worlds as we will be showing the SEC Championship Game live at the event.” Gulf Shores will close out its holiday celebration with Breakfast with Santa at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 15 at the Erie Meyer Civic Center. Dive into a wholesome breakfast complete with sausage, bacon, eggs and pancakes and take advantage of one last chance to have pictures taken with Santa. Admission for Breakfast with Santa is $4, while children 3 and younger are free. As a special gift, the first 50 children to have their picture taken with Santa during the Beach Celebration and Breakfast with Santa will receive their photo complimentary. For more information about any of the City of Gulf Shores holiday events, contact the Special Events Division at 251968-1172 or visit gulfshoresal.gov.
