Hello there...
With September underway, we here on the Island become a little more like the rest of the South. We welcome cooler weather, football games and the begin-ning of a homey feeling here on the Coast. In September, the traffic begins to disappear and the Island loses it’s season-long reputation of being a tour-ist attraction. However, the Coast is anything but boring in September. Events like Bulls on the Beach at Flora-Bama, The Wharf Uncorked and the Water-front Concert Series at Happy Harbor keep the locals and September vacationers entertained even when the summer crowd says goodbye.

When Wild Hearts raises its sails, another coastal open water ad-venture is underway.
Based in San Roc Cay at the Per-dido Beach Resort Soundside Pier, Wild Hearts sailboat gives boat-goers a chance to sail on the beautiful wa-ters of the Gulf Coast.
Captains Zach Smith and Cherry Fowler provide a memorable experi-ence for all guests aboard the 53-foot catamaran sailboat.
Wild Hearts offers three sails throughout the week. The morning dolphin cruise sail, the kayak adven-ture and the sunset cruise each offer a unique sailing experience.
The earliest cruise, the morning dolphin cruise, begins at 10 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday during the time dolphins are the most active. The two-hour cruise is a morning adventure that is a great start to the day for the early birds.
The kayak sail begins at 1:30 p.m. and is a three-hour adventure equipped with paddle boards, kay-aks and snorkeling. Guests will sail
to an island where the beach fun awaits on the sand and in the water. Guests are encouraged to bring beach gear such as towels, sunscreen, etc.
The sunset sail is a breathtaking experience for sailors. The trip be-gins at 6 p.m. and offers a prime time view of the magnificent sunset that we have here on the Gulf Coast.
Wild Hearts also has special Pen-sacola Blue Angels sail that will oc-cur on Sept. 9, Sept. 16, and Oct. 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call Wild Hearts for rates.
During the daytime sails, the Wild
Hearts crew sells soda and has com-plimentary water during the trip. For the sunset sails both soda and water is complimentary. Refreshments are also served during the sails.
Guests are welcome to bring cool-ers along for any trip, but the crew recommends leaving behind glass. Bottles of wine are acceptable.
Kids are entertained during the sailing adventure with hula hoops, frequent dolphin sightings and chances to steer the sailboat.
“It’s a fabulous experience. If you’ve never been sailing, this is the
Sail the open water with Wild hearts

sailboat to take,” said the crew.All ages are welcome. The boat is
handicap accessible and amenities include two restrooms.
Wild Hearts is also available for private events such as weddings, funerals, birthday parties, bachelor and baccalaureate parties, etc.
For rates and to book your sails today, call or 251-981-6700 or visit SailWildHearts.com.
Waterfront Concert Series supports local artists and venues
Sandy Roots Music Productions (Nick Biebricher) and TOAD-U productions (Tom Harris) will
manage and produce a Waterfront Concert Series that covers the coastal areas of Baldwin County, Alabama and Escambia County, Florida.
The Waterfront Concert Series will take place at numerous waterfront venues in our area with the first con-cert kicking off on Sept. 27 at Happy Harbor Oyster Bay Beach.
Organizers say the concert series was designed to showcase local tal-ent, and the line-up certainly proves this true with performances from The Smoke’n Budz (Tom Harris, Jack Greene and Scott Parker) at 1 p.m., Melissa Joiner at 2:45 p.m., Harrison Mcinnis at 5 p.m., and John Joiner, Darrell Roberts and Conga Tom at 7 p.m.
The Happy Harbor Oyster Bay Beach concert will also include a fun-draiser for the Oyster Bay Volunteer Fire Department. A donation booth will be setup at the event to contrib-ute to the Fire Department. If enough items are collected, there will be a fundraising raffle.
Organizers said they created the event for several other important rea-sons. The organizers hope to raise awareness and acknowledgment of musical arts on the Gulf Coast. They also hope to promote Baldwin and Escambia County as an event destina-tion and help market local businesses through sponsorship and advertising opportunities.
Another important reason for the event is to support local artists. Lo-cal musicians will have the opportu-nity to showcase their talent to larger
crowds. “Come out for the kickoff of the
Waterfront Concert series for what is sure to be a day of fun in the sun, sup-porting great causes and listening to some terrific local talent,” said Nick Biebricher, co-organizer for the event.
The Waterfront Concert Series is currently seeking support and spon-sorship for their event. If you would like to make a donation to the Oyster Bay Volunteer Fire Department or if you would like to learn more about the advertising opportunities associat-ed with this event please contact Nick
Biebricher at 251-213-2443 or via email at [email protected] or call Tom Harris at 251-550-8606.
Organizers plan to continue the se-ries for the rest of the 2014 season and into 2015.

Rodeo gates open at Flora-Bama
By destiny Brown Associate [email protected]
America's last roadhouse is hosting the annual Bulls on the Beach event for a weekend filled with bulls, cowboys and of course, Flora-Bama's famous bushwhackers.
This is the second year Bulls on the Beach has been at Flora-Bama.
“Flora-Bama worked well with the guys from Bulls on the Beach, so I think they've found a home here for awhile,” Jenifer Surface-Ivey, marketing director for the Flora-Bama, said.
The three-day event will officially kick-off on Thurs-day night, Sept. 11.
“The event will start on Thursday with a black-tie event with the cowboys at Flora-Bama Yacht Club,” Surface-Ivey said. “We will have a really nice dinner as a fundraiser for St. Judes Research Hospital and we'll have a Calcutta where we auction off the cowboys and the bulls.”
On Friday night, Flora-Bama has added a country con-cert to the event. Country music legend Sammy Kershaw will perform in the arena at 8 p.m.
Saturday's events will lead up to the rodeo on Satur-day night. There will be a Mechanical Bull Riding Bikini Contest on Saturday at 3 p.m. for a $500 prize. There will be mechanical bull riding for the public all night a $5 per person with a signed waiver.
The rodeo will follow at 8 p.m. in the east parking lot of Flora-Bama.
“If you're walking in the main entrance of Flora-Bama, it will be to your left in the east parking lot. We will set
up bleachers and the arena in that parking lot,” Surface-Ivey said.
Riders include professional bull riders from across the Southeast. Many of the riders are stars of National Geographic's new reality TV show, “Dukes of Cattle.” The show follows real-life cowboys Bubba Thompson, Booger Brown and Cody Harris as they strive to build their own cattle company.
Harris, a Gulf Coast native, has been featured CMT's reality shows “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Southern Nights.”

A D V E R T I S E M E N T
It was a beautiful summer morning when we leftFairhope, low humidity and not a cloud in the sky. Wewere on ourway down toOrange Beachto check outa businessthat many ofour friendshave told usabout, thisEnglishmanwho hadopened a Hair Salon on the beach with his daughterEmma. My hair is very important to me and getting agood haircut is a must, and that is what Anthony Jones isknown for and excellent hair color to boot.
We have both been very dissatisfied with the last fewattempts on designing our hair to suit our lifestyles; mostof the so called stylists did not take into considerationour age or understand that we both want to look greatwithout a lot of fuss and bother.
The traffic was a bit heavy due to the summer visitors,but we arrived on time to this charming yellow and whitebeach house on the beach road with a fabulous view ofthe Gulf of Mexico. We were greeted warmly by Anthonyand Emma and they ask us if we would like a cold drinkor a glass of wine before he started making us beautiful.
Pam, my friend, went first since I was a little chickenafter the last experiences. Anthony directed her to astyling chair andwent on toexplain the tenmost importantrules in designinga customhairstyle to suither. He firstlooked at her faceshape andexplained thatthere are fiveface shapes outthere and toldher her face shape was oval. The next was bonestructure and head shape, after that was the type of herhair, the texture of her hair, then what sort of conditionher hair was in, followed by the way the hair grows outof the head, plus cow licks, then her likes and dislikesand fashion. Wow! What a lot of things to get right.
So then Emma started with a relaxing shampoo anddeep conditioning, then for the next 30 minutesAnthony’s hands were a sea of motion, lastly a quickblow dry with hardly any fuss and presto she wasfinished! She was so happy and she could not believe thedifference in her hair.
Now it was my turn, my hair especially in the summer
gets very frizzy and dry; I have tried everything out therefor my hair with no success! Anthony explained thatcommercial hair products are made different toprofessional hair products. Commercial shampoos aremade of mild detergent and the conditioners are basedon petroleum oil. Where professional hair products arepure and natural and give back to the hair, he also wenton to say that we should all wash our hair every day andcondition our hair the same.
Anthony explained that at all times our hair has tohave at least 8% moisture in it the same as our skin, weshould treat our hair the same way as we treat our skin,by moisturizing it every day which made a lot of sense tome, since the last stylist told me not to wash my hairevery day because in her mind it would dry it out.Anthony explained to me that yes using some drug storeproducts would dry your hair out if washed daily. Afterwe went through the ten rules, he took me to theshampoo area and treated me to the best shampoo andconditioning my hair had ever had.
While shampooing, Emma explained to me what Ishould do in the morning in the shower, again stressingno over-the-counter hair products, that’s why my hair isdry and frizzy. After shampooing and beforeconditioning, towel blot the hair because the hair isporous like a sponge, putting any conditioner on one’shair 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 whileyou are washing yourself. Then before you leave theshower, rinse and count up to 10 slowly and stop, just
rinse the excess andno more.
After sheexplained to me thehows & whys, Iunderstood. Theyare like hair doctors,if we listen and dowhat they says itworks! Anthony hashis own line ofproducts andeverything he usedon me was his and
believe me the stuff works. The cut he gave me waswonderful; I walked out a new woman and so did Pam,no more frizzes! Oh, by the way he used a great productbefore he dried my hair called “POTION.” It is a gel with alot of healing features with body, fabulous! I bought abottle. Best money we ever spent and yes, we aredefinitely going back. He is a true professional.
Well worth a visit!Anthony’s salon is at 23175 Perdido BeachBoulevard in Orange Beach & their phone
number is 251.974.1514.Please say we sent you!

First, let me introduce my-self. I am Capt. Phil Dortch, lo-cal inshore/near shore charter fisherman. I mainly fish out of Fort Morgan. I’m honored to have been mentored by Capt. Don Holloway, who has shared his expertise in past articles for many years.
We are blessed to have such abundant types of fishing here on the Alabama Gulf Coast. If history repeats itself, September should be another awesome time to catch redfish on Dixey Bar. In case you are not familiar with the area, Dixey Bar is a sand bar running South from Fort Mor-gan into the Gulf for about three miles.
Speaking of history, I would suggest keeping a fishing jour-nal of your trips including, loca-tion, weather, moon phase, tides, bait, dates, etc. This will become valuable information in years to come. No one can re-member what we caught when and where for very long. Another benefit would be if you ever consider getting your captain’s license, you have documented time on the water which is a starting requirement.
Ok, back to bull red fishing. Pogies (menhaden) and croaker are excellent bait for bull reds. Catching bait is best done with a cast net. These come in a variety of sizes and specifications. Pick a net that suits your par-ticular needs. Example: A six-foot net with small mesh may be good to catch bull minnows for flounder, but not for larger baits like pogies. I personally use a good qual-ity, hand tied eight-foot net with 3/8-inch mesh and 1.5 lb/ft. lead line. This allows the net to sink quickly when bait is in 10 to 12 feet. of water thus preventing fish es-caping out from under the net.
If you have no expertise with a cast net, a good choice is to use salted shrimp fishing around marinas or piers.
To salt shrimp, I peel fresh shrimp, put a layer of ta-ble salt in a plastic bowl, followed by another layer of shrimp, another layer of salt and so on. The shrimp are tough and will keep in the refrigerator for awhile.
Rigging your tackle could be as simple as a 5.0 circle hook, 2-ounce slip sinker about 18-inch up the line, held in place with a split shot and 30-pound test line. Braid or mono works fine but consider more available line ca-pacity if you hook a big jack. Nothing fancy is required.
Catching bulls seems to be most productive a couple of hours after a high tide. If fishing on a neap tide, simple
slowly troll. An excellent way to determine current speed is to use an app on your smart phone. I use Navionics, which cost about $10 one time fee, but offers un-limited information to enhance your fishing experience.
Clear your GPS to make a new trail at your starting point. If you catch a fish, then return ahead of that point for your repeat drift. Important note: drifting seems to work best, covering more area than anchoring your boat. When someone drops anchor in the midst of some 20 other boat drift-ing, that’s a recipe for disaster. Be aware of the legal size limits of your target fish and try to re-vive fish that will be released. Also remember that it’s illegal to possess redfish in federal waters, which for now in Alabama is three miles. That’s another topic for discussion.
Don’t be surprised if you hook a 30-pound jack crav-elle while fishing Dixey Bar or the ship channel. They are probably the hardest fighting fish you will ever catch near shore. Jacks are not good table fare so don’t mistake them, as some have, for yellow fin tuna, or pompano on steroids. You may also get really lucky and snag a nice cobia.
Cooking your catchThere are unlimited recipes for cooking red fish. One
way is known as “on the half shell.” Leave skin and scales on the filet, season to your own taste and cook on the grill, skin side down. If you don’t want to deep fry and want it cooked a little more healthy, cut into fry size pieces, skin and blood line removed, dip in a mixture of buttermilk and egg, then coat with panko bread crumbs and season with Old Bay or your favorite seasoning. Pan fry in a little olive oil until brown and flaky. Enjoy.
Capt. Don’s article will be greatly missed but I’m anx-ious to share secrets I learned from him along with tips, recipes, proven techniques and stories that will hope-fully entertain and make your fishing more successful and enjoyable.

Mary answered the door and led me to the den where he sat in his favorite leather easy chair. His wheel chair was close by reminding you of his Parkinson’s disease and two falls that resulted in three hip surgeries and three months in a nursing home recovering and going thru rehab.
Wayne Evans had always been a strong, athletic man who led an active life. He was a leader and a fighter and this was not going to stop him.
Born in 1932 in Newport, Tenn., Evans’ dad was a South-ern Baptist Minister, but passed away when Wayne was 2 years old. Wayne never knew his dad, but for years had heard stories of his fire and brimstone way of preaching.
His mom worked in the school cafeteria and also for Shockley Bros. Everyone in town worked for Shockley, a veg-etable canning company that ran Newport. They had a whis-tle on their main building that sounded when vegetables were cooked and were ready for canning.
You could hear the whistle all over town, and when it sounded you would stop whatever you were doing and report to the factory to work.
He played on the varsity basketball team in high school, was quarterback on the varsity football team and even boxed Golden Gloves for a semester or two.
Though his grades were just mediocre, he was offered a scholarship to play football at Milligan College. He accepted. Still a party boy, he rarely studied and eventually flunked out.
He then heard about a summer job with Caterpillar in Peoria, Ill. Wayne and two bud-dies applied, were hired and spent the sum-mer working. In 1952, a Navy recruiter Wayne signed up for a four-year hitch in the Navy.
He was sent to Jacksonville, Fla., to be evaluated where it was determined that he be sent to Airplane Mechanic’s school in Memphis. For the next two years, he was assigned the position of “orderly” on a transport plane carrying troops from Hawaii to Japan, Guam and Midway.
At the end of his four years, he decided to come home. Getting an honorable discharge, he was ready for whatever lay ahead of him.
Needing a job, he returned to Newport. When he’d arrived, he heard of a job in Knoxville with the Telephone Company and he hit the road with the little money he had, and most all the clothes he owned. Arriving at the interview, the hir-ing manager looked Wayne over and told him, “We don’t hire bums.”
Wayne replied, “I’m here to work”, and he was hired. Thir-ty-two years later he retired from Bell South.
He then transferred to Mobile as a second level manager, but a need for him came up and he was sent back to the Tri-Cities (Tenn.) as Central Office Manager. He stayed for six years before he found an opening back in Mobile.
He moved into an apartment complex where his next door neighbor just happened to be a beautiful lady named Mary, who was a schoolteacher at the time. It took two years of sweet talking and chocolates (she wasn’t impressed with his fancy Thunderbird) before she finally gave in and went out with him. In 1980 they got married.
Wayne retired and they moved to the beach where Wayne built a very nice and comfortable home. Wayne enjoyed fish-ing, but after retiring and being introduced to golf, that sport became his passion. He spent spare time golfing at every op-portunity with two friends, Tim Sullivan and Jack Nicholson.
In 1988 he noticed a slight tremor in his hands and his head, and a little uncertainty in his walking. An appointment with a neurosurgeon confirmed his suspicion that his prob-lem was Parkinson’s. Determined not to let it get him down, he continued doing the things he loved to do. His wife, Mary was and is supportive, and Wayne did well till he tripped, fell and broke his hip last year.
This past year has been a rough one. At 82, the bones don’t heal so quickly, but Wayne’s attitude is wonderful. He plans to heal, get stronger and to play golf again.
He and Mary still go out occasionally to a late lunch or din-ner and they still love to entertain.
Wayne’s a remarkable man. Always a smile, always a friendly ‘hello,’ always a wave when you drive past his home and see him there on his lawn mower. How lucky we ON THE ISLAND are to have him with us, and how lucky I am to be able to call him my friend.
Capt. Mark asks, ‘Who’s on the Island?’

Q&A with Sammy KershawBy destiny Brown
Country music trail blazer, Sammy Kershaw, will take the stage at the rodeo arena at Bulls on the Beach at Flora-Bama. Known for his country gold favorites like “Queen of my Double Wide Trailer,” and “Vidalia,” Ker-shaw has made a name for himself in the country music world. Sammy gives Beachin’ an exclusive interview on his new tribute album to George Jones, his love for the Gulf Coast and more.
Q: When did you begin playing music?
A: I was 12 -years-old when I began playing music in nightclubs and beer joints. I was just a boy.
Q: Where do you draw inspiration for your songs?
A: If I lived the story, I’ll record it. If I didn’t live it, I won’t record it. That’s just the way it is.
Q: Tell me about your newest album, “possum: A Tribute to George Jones.”
A: Well, it’s something that I didn’t need to do, but wanted to do for my friend. George and I have been friends for many years and I wanted to do a tribute to my friend and I did it. I hope folks like it.
Q: Are you excited to play in this area?
A: Gulf Shores is my favorite place in Alabama and it always has been. I love so play on the Gulf Coast. I’m a Louisiana boy so anytime I can play down here, I’m excited. I like to play outdoors and I like it hot and humid.
SONGS YOU KNOW“Vidalia,” “Queen of My Double Wide Trailer,” “Yard Sale,” “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful,” “Babies Got Her Blue Jeans On,” “Louisiana Hot Sauce,” Cadillac Style,” “Matches.”

Hanging out at the beach can make you hungry. When it does, head out to one of our remarkable Gulf Shores and Orange Beach restaurants. With the world’s best inshore and offshore deep
sea fishing, you’ll find that succulent, fresh-off-the-boat seafood is the order of the day.
Of course, you don’t have to have seafood! You’ll find plenty of restaurants in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach serving barbecue, steak,
Italian, Japanese, Mexican, pizza, deli-style sandwiches and more.
