For more info, contact PatsyAnne at 3306978688 or Jimmie Sue Walters at 850-525-1975. Pictured: Emily Brooks of Silverhill will be exhibiting her stunning collection of jewelry created from gemstones she has gathered from all over the United States. She started her creations about six years ago while traveling across the country. Each trek of her journey yielded a pocketful of shiny rocks. “After traveling with a group of visionary artists, I felt compelled to start wrapping a collection. All my rocks are personally found, selected, and wrapped by myself,’’ she said. “I know each piece’s origin and try to label them accordingly.” Brooks uses copper wire made from recycled 100% pure copper ore found near Creede, Colorado. She then uses a hand crank press to make the ore into a pressed wire. Once wrapped, each stone tells a story of that area and takes on a little life of its own. “I feel that the action of hand making something just makes the piece that much more personal and adds that extra alchemical touch as well,” she said. Well-known plein air artist, Craig Reynolds, will conduct a two-day oil workshop, October 21- 22, at sites in Bon Secour and other coastal areas. Cost is $225.

In Scene 1, Jane and Walter, a disillusioned man and woman, meet in the station. As they converse, they are convinced they are dead. In Scene 2, Frank, one of life's eternal losers, encouraged by his wife Clara, plans to turn his life around by successfully robbing the bus. Fred, a successful businessman, meets Maureen, an old high school classmate of his, who is now a bag lady. They have a rousing time together recalling the good old days in Scene 4.

Locals can participate in Oct. 22 underwater conservation effort On Saturday, October 22, local divers will join scuba divers from across the country as participants in Operation - “Dive Against Debris.” This underwater conservation effort is the result of a unique collaboration between the City of Gulf Shores and Project AWARE. During this cleanup effort volunteer divers will canvas the near shore waters of the Gulf in an effort to remove garbage and unnatural debris which can pose a significant threat to people and wildlife. The cleanup site spans approximately 2.5 miles and runs from the 1200 block of West Beach to the 500 block of East Beach (Fire Department to Gulf State Park). Headquarter operations will be located at Gulf Place Public Beach. All volunteers will report to headquarters for check-in and assignments at 7 a.m. Divers may pre-register for the event. Minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is open water scuba certified. There is no cost associated with participating. A liability waiver must be completed by all volunteers. Project AWARE is a growing movement of scuba divers protecting the ocean – one dive at a time. Focusing on marine debris, scuba divers can directly and positively affect real, long-term change in our community.

After that horrible gumbo in New Orleans, I’m glad that I’m having a bushwacker.’’ That was the immediate response from larry Kaplan after he and his wife Jill were doused with several pitchers of the local chocolate flavored liquor delight on Aug. 26 at Tacky Jacks in a spin-off of the AlS Ice Bucket Challenge that swept the country in 2014. Kaplan was in Gulf Shores on day 26 and state 43 of larry’s 50In30 Challenge to raise funds for AlS. During each of his stops, larry is drenched with liquids local to each state. In previous stops on his journey, which started in Delaware, sponsors splashed Kaplan with maple syrup, salmon heads, Wisconsin cheese, watermelon, cherries, sunflower seeds, pizza ingrediants, chocolate, chile and a mix of algae & powered sugar. He was scheduled to get drenched with orange juice in Florida after leaving Tacky Jacks. Kaplan took a month vacation to undertake his fundraiser. “I get to go back to my normal life after this,’’ he said. “If you have AlS, you and your family don't go back to your normal life." Kaplan will end up driving more than 20,000 miles and flying to Alaska and Hawaii during his one month fundraiser. A 20 year volunteer with the Greater Philadelphia AlS Association, Kaplan said he hopes to raise awareness of AlS as well as funds to fight the disease. Alabama AlS Executive Director lisa Holmon, local resident Cheryl lanning and Tiffany Feld and Bryan Hart from Tacky Jacks had the pleasure of drenching the Kaplans with bushwhackers.

Primitive humans used limbs, leaves, and vines woven together to carry the necessities of life—nuts, fruits, and game. From these crude beginnings, different cultures have developed literally hundreds of styles of baskets. In many cases, the style of basket depends on the availability of resources and plants suitable for basket construction. In early times, baskets were a necessity. This was long before the days of metal containers. Because baskets are a part of our heritage, most of us have a fascination for them. • Raising Karma: 7; Hub Stacey’s; Innerarity Point. • Tai Chi w.

With 103 members representing 26 college teams, GCAC experienced record membership levels in 2015, and is on track to exceed that number this year. Membership increased from 80 members in 2013. “Our fun atmosphere and exciting speaker lineup is attracting more interest,” said David DeMeyer, membership chair. Club dues are $200 for eight meetings, which includes cocktail hour, dinner, team reports, updates from Gulf Shores High School and a guest speaker. The 14th Annual GCAC Golf Tournament held in June was a major success thanks to strong sponsor support and tremendous participation. “We had a great turnout and raised over $20,000 which will go toward supporting the high school athletic department and funding scholarships,” said Fred Dickerson, co-chair of the tournament. “We appreciate those who participated and especially our sponsors who made the tournament such a success,” said tourney co-chair John McCormick. In May, the club awarded $7,000 in scholarships to male and female Scholar Athletes of the Year from Gulf Shores High School. The recipients were Taylor Brown and Ishan Patel. The two students were chosen from a field of eight, who along with their parents, were honored at last year’s GCAC meetings. The Club also launched the Gulf Coast Athletic Club Foundation, a charitable organization. All donations to the Foundation are tax deductible. “We have seen an uptick in donations this year which will allow us to maximize our impact through continued support of local youth athletics and proving scholarships to student athletes,’’ said Foundation President David lee. “The tax deductibility of donations makes the Foundation a great option for anyone wanting to support our student athletes.’’ Donations to the Gulf Coast Athletic Club Foundation can be sent to P.O.

Guide4Fun celebrates 5th year anniversary on Perdido Key local company publishing its 2nd annual Orange Beach cartoon map It hardly seems possible that four years have gone by since Guide4Fun published its first cartoon map. But here they are rolling into 2017 and the fifth annual publication. It took several years to get the project off the ground as Hurricanes Ivan,Katrina and the BP oil spill interrupted the normal course of business for everyone along our Gulf Coast and they were no exception. However, once they got a toe hold they have flourished. Guide4Fun is a colorful, entertaining guide and a keepsake publication. They print over 100,000 copies annually between Orange Beach and Perdido Key. Furthermore they have a tremendous state of the art, mobile friendly, interactive web presence, Guide4Fun.com. Because they are available on the web folks use Guide4Fun to plan their trips before they get here and because they are available in print locally, at hundreds distribution points throughout the these beach communities, visitors use them while they are here. Publix Super Markets is one of their major sponsors and they are one of the few local publications that are distributed from their local stores. Other distribution points include condominiums, hotels, property management companies, restaurants, stores, gift shops, Visitors Centers, Chambers of Commerce and other attractions and locations. Most advertising vehicles here on the beach are solo type, such as rack cards or magazines. It is easy to see how your ad can get lost in the wall of rack cards or as a side bar ad of an article. The Guide4Fun map offers a unique perspective in that you can see the whole area and all of the advertisers at a glance as you look at the map. And at the same time it leads them right to your front door. They also offer enhanced ads that will punch up your presence on the map and panel size ads to help boost your appearance even more. They have designed the map to be informative as well as colorful and fun. If you look close you will find local icon's and funny figures at different locations, personalizing the maps. The Maps feature many of our local characters that have gone home as well as several that are alive and well and deserve to be honored for their contributions to our beautiful communities.

Guide4Fun has found many of our visitors take them home with them as coffee table decor and children really love the maps, they find them very entertaining. A limited number of posters of unfolded maps are also offered, at no cost, for display at your business, rental property or home and snowbirds love them. Their motto: “It is our business to tell you where to go” is a tongue and cheek statement that people giggle at but understand that it is true. They are 30 year veterans of beach life here on the Red Neck Riviera and refuse to take things too seriously. Any business that wants “to be on the map” can call 850-287-5815. You will not regret it. With advertising costs going through the roof they are a breath of fresh air with prices starting as low as $1.36 a day for a basic ad and it provides you with a cartoon drawing of the front of your business, a listing in their business directory within the category's of your business as well as a link to your website on their state of the art interactive map. It is probably the only advertising medium that has not gone up in price in five years. Pictured: Dorothy Garrett, owner/operator of Guide4Fun. Ad.

THU, SEPT 15 Tammy & Samuel St. George, owners of Benedetto's Italian Ristorante at Zeke’s landing in Orange Beach, welcomed Perdido Key Chamber of Commerce members to enjoy gourmet small plates and Orange Beach’s most spectacular waterfront view during a recent social at the bistro. Samuel, the executive chef. Sam has dreamed of having his own restaurant since he was 7-years-old. He started working in restaurants at a very early age and went to the Culinary Institute of New York right out of high school and has worked in some of the finest restaurants in Florida, Minnesota and New York. He's incredibly talented and has put together an exceptional team in the kitchen. “When we decided to start this adventure we were looking for a name for our restaurant,’’ Tammy said. “We considered a lot of different names and couldn't find anything we could agree on. My husband passed away in November of 2014 and life changed greatly for my entire family. When Sam said to think of a name, I looked around my room and saw a plaque that read ‘Blessed,’ and I knew that was the perfect description of how we felt about this opportunity. Sam translated blessed to Italian and so now I can proudly say ‘welcome toBenedetto's.’’’ • USA Wakeboard Collegiate Nationals: Flora-Bama Marina & Watersports, Ole River at the Fl-Al State line; 225-6106707. • Flora-Bama Possible Probables: 2 p.m. ‘til; (Sched. on pages 32-33), Flora-Bama, Perdido Key. • 25th Annual Sand, Sea and Spirit Wellness Retreat: Orange Beach, sandseaandspirit.com. • The Wharf Uncorked Food & Wine Festival Kick Off Party & Chef Showdown: 6:30 p.m; The Wharf in Orange Beach; (251) 224-1000. • DJ-Karaoke: 10; The Jellyfish, Perdido Key. • Adam Holt: 5; lulu’s; Gulf Shores. • DJ & Karaoke: 7; live Bait, Orange Beach. • Ole River String Band: 6; The Original Point; Innerarity Point. • Karaoke: 8; Tacky Jacks, Ft.

This event is to raise awareness of prostate cancer, to protect the men from prostate cancer, and raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF). “I am excited to say we were able to donate $7,000 last year to the PFC,’’ said race coordinator Jennifer Newman. “Our goal is to donate 100 percent of participant entry fees to the PCF.’’ The PCF is firmly committed to curing prostate cancer and has helped build a global research enterprise of nearly $10 billion, funding more than 2,000 programs at more than 200 research centers in 18 countries since inception in 1993. Event sponsors are needed to cover the expenses such as participant and volunteer t-shirts, and registration and vendor costs. Individuals, organizations or groups can support the event in any one of five levels. For more sponsor info, contact Newman at 228-806-2299. “Until there is a cure for prostate cancer, we need to help those fighting the disease, so let's put our feet together and run/walk for a cure,’’ said Newman.

Gaylon McCollough is featured in an academic critique of Aesthetic Rejuvenation of the Face and Neck. The recently released plastic surgery textbook is published by Thieme, Inc., one of the world’s largest publishers of medical educational resources. The book’s reviewer specifically referenced Dr. McCollough’s “Condition Specific Rhytidectomy (Facelifting): An Evidence-Based Paradigm Shift in Facial Rejuvenation” as a way for Facial Surgeons to “arm (themselves) with the knowledge and skills needed to perform operations competently”. Although previously introduced in a peer-reviewed journal, the inclusion of McCollough’s facial rejuvenation system in a respected plastic surgery textbook, establishes it as “standard of care”, i.e., a “new normal” within his profession. About this recognition, McCollough said, “Sharing knowledge with fellow physicians is a responsibility to which I swore when I took the Hippocratic Oath. Early in my career, I realized that a ‘one-sizefits-all’ approach to anything means that it fits some conditions; but, certainly not all. When it comes to how—and when— faces age, every face is different. The same face is a different face at different stages in a person’s life. So it makes little sense for a surgeon to perform the identical amount of surgery in all cases—and in all regions of the face and neck— every time.” “Rejuvenation plans can— and should be—individually tailored to the face in question,’’ he added. “This realization led me to create a ‘condition-specific’ treatment system. Now that it has been recognized as a paradigm—a ‘new normal’—plastic surgery colleagues, the world over, can more readily identify, recommend and perform the most appropriate treatment plan, for every face.” Dr. McCollough is the founder of the McCollough Institute in Gulf Shores, Alabama, past-president of the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and listed among “America’s Top Plastic Surgeons” and “Best Doctors in America.” For more info or a copy of his consumer information book: The Appearance Factor, call 1-866-876-7600 or visit mccolloughplasticsurgery.com.
