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, apparel to suit beach bums and country clubbers.

Jessica Jones 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 crashingocean 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.

Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers

ne of the bands gracing the 2013 Hangout Music Festival stage will be Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers. The band will perform on Saturday from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and includes Nicki Bluhm (vocals, guitar), Tim Bluhm (keys, vocals), Dave Mulligan (rhythm guitar, vocals), Deren Ney (lead guitarist), Steve Adams (bass) and Mike Curry (drums).

Bluhm described the band's sound and style.

“I think the music we play is best described as rock with a little country and a dash of soul,” she explained. “It harkens back to the music of the 60s and 70s. Everyone in the band loves collecting and listening to vinyl and we've got a variety of records we bring on the road with us to listen to backstage. It makes us feel a little more at

home during these long tours. We listen to a lot of country (Merle Haggard, Buck Owens) we love the early Linda Ronstadt stuff, Steve Adams (bass player) picks up all kinds of gems at the record stores along the way so we always have a rotation of great tunes.”

She divulged her favorite song from one of the band's albums and talked about inspiration and the role of song writing in her life.

“I think my favorite original song we do is 'Jetplane' from our album 'Driftwood,'” she offered.

“It was written at a really transitional time in my life that helped me put some things in order. Writing songs can often do that for me and that is a real blessing. It's also a song that seems to connect with our audience and that is in an incredible feeling. To know that the songs you write and perform matter and mean something to others is something I never take for granted.”

She and the other band members are honored to perform at this year's Hangout Music Festival.

“We have never played Hangout before but have heard amazing things about it from Grace Potter's Camp,” she revealed. “They had so many great things to say. We are really looking forward to playing music and soaking in the environment.

Hanging out sounds pretty good too!”

Sunburns and sun poisoning could ruin beach-side fun: The painful truth comes to light

Bright Ideas To Prevent Sunburns

By Corey Biggs, RN

Sunshine

is one of South Alabama's most prized natural resources.

Although exposure to sunlight has health benefits, such as vitamin D synthesis, too much of a good thing can be painful.

Sunburns are one of the most common injuries experienced by vacationers and outdoor enthusiast along the Gulf Coast.

A person can sustain a sunburn in as little as 15 minutes. Severe burns happen when exposed skin is not adequately protected from UV light rays. Sunburns can be accompanied by severe dehydration, fatigue and nausea. Some people may experience skin rashes after a sunburn which is referred to as sun poisoning or photodermatitis.

Dr. Warren Tyon is an emergency room physician, and has treated sunburned patients on many occasions. Tyon recollects that several of these burns occurred when sunbathers used oil based products and tanning accelerators with overexposure to sunlight; resulting in painful, second degree burns. In many of the sunburns treated by Tyon, sunblock products were not used properly, nor at appropriate intervals. And all too often, sunblock was not used at all.

Hospitalization may be required for

second degree sunburns covering greater than 50 percent of the body's surface area — especially when accompanied by profound dehydration and nausea due to exposure.

The majority of those who suffer severe burns and sun poisoning are youth and young adults. According to the American Cancer Association, a child or adolescent who experiences a blistering sunburn, or an adult who experiences five or more, doubles their chances of developing melanoma — a form of skin cancer.

Remember that individuals with fair skin, often with blond or red hair, are particularly vulnerable to burns — with little sun exposure; and that serious sunburns can also occur in overcast, cloudy conditions.

To recover from sunburns, shower in cool water, or applying cold compresses.

Over the counter medications, such as aspirin, acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen may be taken for pain. For itching, oral diphenhydramine (Benadryl) may be used. It is important to keep the skin moisturized with Aloe Vera based gels or lotions. Staying hydrated during recovery is also essential.

Soak up Gulf Coast sunshine responsibly, and don't let a sunburn be your souvenir.

Y Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Y Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of 30, applied 30 minutes before exposure.

Reapply every two hours.

Y In addition to light protective clothing, wear wide brimmed hats, sunshades and shoes to prevent damage from harmful UV rays.

May 2013

It’s May, and in a few weeks school will be out and summer will be here. Fish are on the move and if the wind works for you, the fish will be everywhere.

If you’re at the south end of Mobile Bay, the flounder are moving on shore at a steady rate. If you want to fish flounder, try all the rocks at the lower end of the Bay as well as all the piers both up and down and any pillings you see in the water. Fish the rig legs as well.

Channel marker pillings will hold flounder, too.

Use as small a weigh as you can to get the bait to the bottom. I use Carolina rigs with 1/2 to 1/4 ounce lead with a swivel and 15-pound test leader with a 2/0 khale hook. For bait, I like bull minnows first, live shrimp second, and gulp baits last. All three are good, but I think live bull minnows are best.

Always use a landing net and never net tail first. That can spook them and they can cut the line real quick if they run from the net.

If you fish in the upper part of the Bay, use the same set up and bait but try to fish the entire piers by stopping at the end and casting as far as you can towards the bank. Crank in all excess line and lift your rod tip to raise the weight and bait and pull it towards you a few feet.

Let it settle to the bottom for a few seconds and try it again and again until the line is at the boat. Then, do it all over again.

Sheepshead will still be on all the close-in gulf rigs as well as the Bay rigs. Stout lines and rods with a chunk of lead and a ciccle hood with fiddler crabs or live shrimp will do the trick. Put the bait on the bottom and crank it up like a snapper rig a few feet off the bottom. These fish bite soft but pull like a train when hooked. Their dorsal fins are fierce weapons and can really ruin a fishing trip. Landing nets are also needed for these fish.

Black fish will also be around in good numbers. Fish all the channel markers, rig legs, crab-trap markers, floating boards and other trash, as well as attracters that some fishermen put out. If you put these out, be sure to make them well with bright tape and buoys.

Pick them up at the end of the day so that boat bottoms and shrimp nets do not come in contact with the attractors.

GulfVisitorGuide.com

White trout will also be on the move into the Bay. Some will stay off shore around the gas rigs, as well.

These fish have no creel or size limit. Catch all you want, but clean and eat all you catch. A Carolina rig with a 2/0 khale and 1/2 lead on 12-pound test line fished on the bottom works well. Try the light house off shore as well as those near by gas rigs, then move inshore to those gas rigs, then move to the inshore reefs and try around the edges of these reefs for schools.

For the past three years, I’ve loaded my fish box down with white trout at Katrina Cut on the west end about 30 feet from the rocks in 10 to 12 feet of water.

They will even bite a bare hook if the school is thick. Great fun and a great meat trip.

Also this month, the bull red fish will be on the Dixie Bar thick as fleas. All you need is a boat plus30pound test on a good spinning rod with a 6,000 or 8,000 reel rigged with a Carolina rig using 2-ounce lead, 40- or 50-pound test leader, and a 7/0 khale hook baited with a live 8-inch pogie or croker. (or a guide).

Then drift the deep water northeast of the sand bar (on an out going tide). Continue your drift over the sand bar as well and wait for the tug.

Always net red fish as you’ll most likely release the fish. These bull reds are the basis for our red fish population in Alabama. Plus the leadership in Alabama’s Marine Resourses, our Marine Police and Marine Biologists, work hard to keep red fish populations healthy. All we need to do is comply with the laws and release all the red fish that we can and make sure that they swim away, belly down, to fight another day.

While on the Dixey Bar, you may hook a king mac, a cobia, or a drum. All are fun to catch and are caught using the same bait and tackle. Speckled trout are the top inshore sport fish and are caught using live crokers, live shrimp and most all types of artificial baits on both ends of the Bay. Shallow waters allow you to use popping corks and deep water allows you to use slip corks.

All in all, this month is a great month to be on Mobile Bay. Always obey the rules, watch your wake and stay safe. Feel free to visit me, Don Holloway, at backbayfishingwithdon.com.

his private studio.

His talent was first noticed at a very young age by a counselor at his elementary school. She told his mother,

who then signed him up for art classes, but by then he already knew how to paint and draw on his own. He dropped out of the classes and created art how he wanted to create it. All of his techniques he uses today are self taught, developed after many years of exploring new concepts and ideas, fueled by passion and love for the art.

He sold his first painting online and decided to turn his hobby into a business. Soon his bedroom at his parents was filled with paintings stacked from the wall, buckets of brushes, towels covered in thick dried paint; there wasn’t a spot in the room that didn’t have something to do with art.

Before long, he was selling paintings all over the country; selling art online and also in galleries. He began networking with artists in the area, and found a group of talented artists that he wanted to work with at a local gallery.

It was at Merging of the Arts Gallery in Denham Springs, where his art started to take shape. He quickly became a partner and hosted shows with other artists in the area. It was here he got the idea to take his art across the Gulf states.

Since then he has participated in shows all over the South and continues to share his art with the masses. Hundreds of thousands of devoted art lovers have seen his work, and thousands of them have become new original collectors. For more information, visit www.derekpattersonart. com.

Waldorf College Choir to perform at Gulf Shores Civic Center

By Emily Angstman On Saturday, May 4, the Waldorf College Choir will perform at the Gulf Shores Civic Center at 7 p.m. The choir from Forest City, Iowa, will be in Alabama as part of its annual summer tour.

The Waldorf Choir is the second oldest a cappella choir in the nation and hails from Waldorf College, a four-year liberal arts school. Founded in 1916, the choir has faithfully upheld the Lutheran choral tradition throughout its history.

“I’m excited to take students on this trip because they get to meet and interact with many different people on tour, learning how others live and experience the world,” said Dr. Adam Luebke, choir conductor and director of choral activities at Waldorf College. “Plus, many will be experiencing the South and the ocean for the first time.”

“By sharing the messages and emotions of the music, the students directly impact and transform the lives of those who hear them,” added Luebke. “I think they will learn a lot about themselves on this trip and their capacity to influence and shape the lives of others through their creative selves.”

With almost 30 students blending their voices

if you go WHO: Waldorf College Choir WHAT: “A New Day” WHEN: May 4 at 7 p.m.

WHERE: Gulf Shores Civic Center, 1930 W 2nd St., Gulf Shores

to create rich harmonies, the choir features music and non-music majors. Each summer, the ensemble takes a performance tour. Recent excursions had students traveling through England and the Midwest, as well as Memphis and Chicago.

This year’s 12-day, 10-concert tour is called “A New Day” and features a wide selection of music, with pieces ranging from Lutheran choral traditions to folk songs to contemporary choral melodies. Some of the pieces the choir will perform include F. Melius Christiansen’s setting of “Praise to the Lord;” “Lux aurumque” by Eric Whitacre; a spiritual by William Dawson, I”n His Care-O;” and a beautiful arrangement of Dolly Parton’s famous song, “Light of a Clear Blue Morning.”

The Gulf Shores Civic Center is located at 1930 W. 2nd St in Gulf Shores.

Humble beginnings lead to championship volleyball play on Alabama’s Gulf Coast

By Ally Mills Dorrough

S

trength, determination and perseverance are three qualities that have driven Coach Phillip Bryant, commissioner of the Gulf Coast Region of USA Volleyball, to develop volleyball as a mainstream sport on the Gulf Coast.

For the second year running, the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) will hold its 2013 Collegiate Sand Volleyball National Championships in Gulf Shores in May. AVCA is one of many organizations to host their events on Alabama’s Gulf Coast, and the coach hopes that the organization will continue to seek out the area as a volleyball destination.

As an advocate for developing the sport of volleyball, Bryant has had a rich career filled with humble beginnings and bountiful breakthroughs for the sport.

Bryant developed a passion for athletics at an early age, but it was not until college that he discovered a particular passion for volleyball. A 1977 graduate of Auburn University with a degree in physical education, Bryant developed his love for the sport with the help of his coaching education professor. After graduating from Auburn, Bryant put his passion for sports into action by instituting the athletic program at the Department of Youth Services in Birmingham.

In 1980, the coach moved to Gulf Shores to develop the first athletic program in the area at Gulf Shores School. The athletic program began in 1982 with basketball and track teams and expanded to include an exhibition volleyball team in 1987. In 1988, Bryant’s team made history.

“From those humble beginnings of middle school volleyball in 1988 as the first competitive school to play volleyball in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, there grew a high school program at Gulf Shores High School coached by Wing Brett,” Bryant explained. “The high school team coached by Brett

participated in 11 years of Elite 8 competition at the state championship level. The team’s highest finish was second place in the state in 2002.”

Bryant went on to pursue his master’s in kinesiology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 1992, where he served as the assistant volleyball coach. From there, he served as the head volleyball coach for Wallace Community College of Hanceville and for the University of West Alabama in Livingston.

Wishing to grow the sport for local athletes, Bryant along with other volleyball enthusiasts began the process to become a region of USA Volleyball, the national governing body for beach volleyball in the U.S. In 1998, the Gulf Coast Region was unanimously approved by the USA Volleyball board as well as the Regional Volleyball Associations (RVAs) as the 36th region of the association.

As commissioner since the region’s inception in 1998, Bryant has seen its membership grow from 128 charter members to more than 2,300. The Gulf Coast has led the nation in membership growth for USA Volleyball in five of the last eight years.

As a region of USA Volleyball, the Gulf Coast is comprised of club teams aspiring to reach an elite, Olympic level. Bryant says that in addition to the West and East Coasts, Alabama’s Gulf area has the opportunity to become the next coast to host collegiate volleyball events in addition to AVCA’s National Championships.

“This region can host, foster, craft and grow a national championship collegiate sport,” he noted. “We want to be the third coast that athletes can count on to host collegiate events, and our goal is to host collegiate sand volleyball as a permanent site.”

Considering that, Bryant went on to explain that the North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation (NORCECA), the organization “responsible for…the staging of Olympic and World

May 2013

Championship zone qualification tournaments, as well as continental championships for both men and women in indoor and beach volleyball,” is in talks to bring the World Championships to Alabama’s Gulf Coast in 2016. According to the coach, the opportunities for sand as well as indoor volleyball would be endless if such an event were to take place in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Bryant says the major reason he and area supporters are able to further promote volleyball today is because of the efforts of American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Executive Director, Kathy DeBoer, along with former Southeastern Conference Associate Commissioner, Debbie Corum, and recently retired Sun Belt Commissioner, Wright Waters, who paved the way for the NCAA to approve sand volleyball as an Emerging Sport for women in 2009.

Once the number of schools sponsoring sand volleyball teams reaches a championship status of 40, the sport, upon budget approval, will become the 90th officially-sanctioned NCAA championship sport.

“The scariest moment of all was that sand volleyball was facing an override vote at the 2010 NCAA Convention,” Bryant exclaimed. “Because of the efforts of Debbie, Wright, Kathy and several others on behalf of the sport, the children in our community have the chance to play sand volleyball. Because of their determination, we have a great opportunity to grow this sport in the Gulf Coast region and beyond.”

“Sand volleyball would have been the first sport in NCAA history to get voted off the emerging sports list because it was too popular,” DeBoer laughed, recalling the override vote in 2010. “Several sly administrators realized that if sand volleyball became an official NCAA sport, they would be pressured to add a team because so many kids would want to play. Their only recourse was to try to keep it off the list. And, they were right; now some who voted against sand volleyball just three years ago are adding a team.”

Among numerous stories of children in the community developing a passion for the sport, Bryant recants with a smile the story of Gulf Shores Elementary student Ava Best and her volleyball lineage.

Ava, who plays volleyball for the Gulf Coast Region, has made it her life’s goal to play sand volleyball at the collegiate level because of her mother’s and grandmother’s love of the sport. Her mother, Analise Navia, played college volleyball and has been instrumental in the area’s sand volleyball efforts. Ava’s grandmother, Barbara Harwerth, was a member of the first Olympic women’s national volleyball team in 1964. Bryant recalls that the athletes competing in the 2012 AVCA Collegiate Sand Volleyball National Championships were in awe of Harwerth’s accomplishments, noting that it was “history in the making.”

Bryant expresses that the families across coastal Alabama have made the region’s efforts possible. As a structured, officiated and implemented sport, the sophistication of the game has blossomed and has captured the public’s fascination.

“We have phenomenal families in this region,” Bryant expressed. “We have a unique region where we have passion and spirit across all age groups. The atmosphere in the gym is uplifting as parents not only cheer on their own kids, but other neighboring clubs as well.”

“Coach Bryant won’t ever take a lot of credit,” DeBoer said. “But I can tell you for sure, the success of the Collegiate National Sand Championships has as much to do with him as anyone else. It’s not only his hard work, but his enthusiasm and ever-positive attitude, that makes Gulf Shores a place people want to come to play. He is a local treasure.”

The Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission (GSOBSC) along with the City of Gulf Shores and the Gulf Coast Region of USA Volleyball is set to host the AVCA Collegiate Sand Volleyball National Championships featuring the top six college teams in the country as well as the top doubles teams across all schools. The championships take place from May 3 through 5 on Gulf Shores Main Public Beach.

Chubby Carrier performs May 9.

Music at Meyer Park offers free outdoor concerts Submitted

Submitted

The City of Gulf Shores has announced the lineup for their Music at Meyer Park concert series. The springtime event, now in its third year, has become a fan favorite for locals and visitors alike. Whether you like rock, country, blues or zydeco, the 2013 lineup has what you’re looking for.

Though two concerts have already taken place, guests still have plenty of time for outdoor enjoyment set to scintillating accompaniment.

Chubby Carrier and The Bayou Swamp Band take over Meyer Park on May 9. Once this accordionplaying virtuoso grabs the mic and takes to the stage, audiences are treated to a show like no other. Chubby’s sound is infectious — a concoction of blues, 70s funk, rock and roll and good-ole zydeco flavor — and makes even the most timid individuals get their feet moving. Their latest release “Zydeco Junkie,” has taken the group to new heights after winning the Grammy Award for Best Zydeco-Cajun Album in February 2011. If you haven’t experienced the high energy, swamp funky, zydeco sound of Chubby Car-

rier and the Bayou Swamp Band, it is time you join the legions of fans that have.

The Brandon Green Band closes out the 2013 edition of Music at Meyer Park on June 6. Green has seen a whirlwind of success with a list of TV appearances under his belt, including a stint on Season 7 of American Idol, runner-up on CMT’s hit show, “Can You Duet?” and the winner of “Your Next Record with Keith Urban.” Born in the small Mississippi town of Lucedale, his diverse influences help this ambitious performer and songwriter craft high-energy songs that are in-tune with today’s popular country styles, while his humility helps him remain true to his roots.

All Music at Meyer Park concerts are free to the public and begin at 6 p.m. For more information about Music at Meyer Park, contact the City of Gulf Shores Special Events Division at 251-968-1172 or visit www.gulfshoresal.gov.

Gulf Shores Swim Team earns Top 10 finish at District Championship

By Brook Hopkins

The Gulf Shores Swim Team recently competed in the South District Championships at the University of West Florida Aquatic Center. The team entered 10 swimmers in the meet which attracted more than 500 swimmers from across southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

The Dolphins earned a Top 10 finish on their way to breaking four team records. The team was led by 8-year-old Cody Hall who broke his existing age group record in the 25 yard backstroke and followed suit by setting a new record and claiming the bronze in the 50 yard backstroke. Other top performers for the Dolphins included Clair

Dickinson who swam personal best times in six of her eight races, Margaret Lloyd who set a new team record in the 400 Individual Medley and Nate McGee who set a new team record in the 200 Breaststroke.

In addition, Hall and Dickinson qualified for the Southeastern Championships and will join Catherine Taylor to represent the Dolphins at the meet held in Nashville, Tenn.

For more information about the Gulf Shores Swim Team, contact Head Coach and Aquatics Coordinator for the City of Gulf Shores, Brook Hopkins, at 251-968-1427. The Swim Team practices at the David L. Bodenhamer Recreation Center in Gulf Shores five days per week.

sports management, marketing and communications, and the relationship between leisure and recreational activities, prompted him to apply for the job. He interviewed, and was named director of recreation and cultural affairs in October of 2009.

He is now in charge of the parks, recreation, special events, Grant Brown library, museum, rental facilities and the beaches. If that’s not enough, he is also the city’s public information officer, which includes the responsibility of marketing and communicating the official city position to the public through media outlets including radio, TV, print and social media.

We’re not finished yet! He’s also brand identity manager, monitoring and regulating the new branding initiative for compliance and consistency with the use of the logo and “Small Town, Big Beach” tag line.

I asked Grant his feelings about the mayor. He told me that the Mayor is a visionary. He’s a man that sees the big picture and thinks further ahead than most people about where the roadblocks will be and what challenges we will face to break down those roadblocks.

Grant is an example of how we want the world to think of the people of our area. He’s loyal, a team player, never finds an obstacle that he won’t tackle, and from what I’ve seen, will never say anything bad about anyone or anything. If there’s something that he doesn’t feel is right, he won’t walk away. He’ll approach it by asking, “What will it take to make this better?”

He told me that first and foremost in working with the city is keeping sight of the objective of maintaining Gulf Shores as a family-friendly destination spot. He’s impressed that the mayor and city council are in sync. He honestly believes that no one associated with the government of this town has his or her own agenda other than doing what is best to push the concept of Small Town, Big Beach.

I asked Grant if he had political aspirations. He said “absolutely not.” He then said, “I need a job. Gulf Shores still has a part-time mayor, and I have a family to take care of and a future to prepare for. I am perfectly happy to be in the seat that I’m in. There is cohesiveness among the staff, the city council, the mayor and the public. We have a golden opportunity in the next four years to make some good things happen.”

Grant is a truly remarkable individual and an unbelievable asset to the city, the visitors and the residents. It is both an honor and privilege to be able to call him a friend. How fortunate we are to be able to say that Grant Brown is ON THE ISLAND.

Summer Day Camp accepts applications

By Shuntika Pettibone The Snook Youth Club of Foley (SYC), a partner agency of the United Way of Baldwin County, is currently accepting applications for its 2013 Summer Day Camp for youth aged 6-15 which will run from June 3 to July 26. The hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

SYC will serve a light and nutritious breakfast daily, but campers will be required to bring their own lunches.

SYC will also serve healthy mid-afternoon snacks each day. The cost for the camp is $330 plus a $60 annual membership fee and a $10 registration and t-shirt fee.

There is also a discount in fees for multiple siblings.

This year, the camp will introduce the new STEM program. SUMMER STEM for TEENS is an eight week mentoring and career development summer camp for adolescents and pre-adolescents, aged 12-15. This summer project will focus on providing experiences and skill development in science, technology, engineering, math and medicine.

Fifteen youth will have daily and weekly exposure and experiences in science and marine biology, veterinary medicine, human and pharmaceutical medicine, computer literacy and programming and activities that will develop an interest in engineering and increase math skills. Although the program is open to both genders it is designed to encourage girls in developing a desire to consider these areas for future study and career fields. There are a limited number of slots available, so early registration is encouraged. SUMMER STEM for TEENS is sponsored in part by a grant from the Snook Foundation.

For youth aged 6-11 there will be daily professionally supervised activities and lessons in creative reading and writing, math, language arts and social studies along with daily swimming lessons, water aerobics and free play at the Aaronville and Max Griffin pools, a basketball clinic, dance and cheerleading classes, visual art and music classes (percussion and string), weekly trips to the Foley Public Library, several Bike-A-Thons, National TyeDying day, semi-weekly life skills and character building skills workshops led by Baldwin County Mental Health professionals and a variety of field trips that include an excursion via the Fort Morgan Ferry to Dauphin Island, activities at the Graham Creek Nature Preserve, visits to the Mobile Museum of Art, the Mobile History Museum and the Foley Railroad Museum, a day at the Gulf Shores Zoo, plus bowling, roller skating and numerous other exciting adventures.

Applications for the SYC 2013 Summer Day Camp can be accessed on the SYC website at snookyouthcluboffoley.org or by stopping by the office located 1391 S. Cedar. Payment can also be made online. For more information, contact Shuntika Pettibone or Deborah Ferguson at 251-943-1483.

DINING GUIDE Lying around on the beach can really 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.
