Baldwin’s own Sassafrass release Celtic infused CD Sassy Yew & Aye is a fresh breeze of music inspired from across the pond Jo Billups and Karen Harvill (pictured) of Sassafrass reached back into their Celtic roots across the pond for inspiration when recording their new release. Sassy Yew & Aye is a fresh breeze of music that fully reflects their Welsh, Scottish and Irish influences. The new collection of tunes celebrates true Irish history with a song about the legendary female pirate, Grace O’ Malley. An- other song, River of Fire, is about the worst disaster in Dublin’s history, when the whiskey warehouse burned down. Wind in the Gate is a beautiful song that feature authentic Welsh phrases of love. Let's go down to the Sea Again invites you for a walk by the Scottish Seaside and Change takes you to the Clinking Stone ADVERTISE WHERE IT COUNTS where the locals say a duel was fought over a lassie. You can really feel the Celtic culture woven throughout the lyrics and the music throughout Sassy Yew & Aye, which is receiving great reviews and radio play in England 850-492-5221 • 251-968-5683 Sassy Yew & Aye was recorded at Baldwin County’s Admiral Bean studio with the incredibly talented Anthony Crawford engineering and producing the CD with a special emphasis on capturing Sasssafrass’s time honored harmonies.

GULF SHORES WOMAN’S CLUB ART DEPT: On September 25, members of the Gulf Shores Woman’s Club Art De- partment met with the Director of the Coastal Arts Center, Desiree Blackwell, for a tour and a brief meeting. Resident artists in the Hot Shop Glass Studio created two beautiful items (a green vase and a dark blue pumpkin) from start to finish, so they could watch the entire process. They also were able to view the Ceramics Studio as local artists worked on their clay projects. After- wards, a brief meeting was held in the Center’s Executive Conference room so that the Art Department members could discuss their upcoming art-focused activities and volunteer opportunities. If you are interested in participating in the GSWC Art De- partment, please give Beth Sapala a call at 251-967-3051.

COWBELL ROLLED ICE CREAM GRAND OPENING: Cowbell Rolled Ice Cream, Foley's original rolled ice cream shop, is now open for business in Foley. Local husband and wife team Greg and Maegan Bratton are on a roll creating signa- ture recipes as they roll out their new ice cream concept, Cowbell Rolled Ice Cream in Foley. "We start everyday by preparing our very own ice cream base and puréeing fresh berries so our customers can have the freshest ice cream in town," Greg said. "The rolled ice cream concept is really fun and we make them to order right in front of you," Maegan added. “As a family owned business we want our customers to feel like part of the Cowbell family.’’ Cowbell starts with a fresh sweet cream base that is poured over a frozen metal slab. Customers can choose what ingredients they want mixed in and then watch as it is rolled before their eyes. In addition to the menu items like The Elvis, The Reaper, and Say "Cheese" Cake, they offer daily specials or you can build your own. Cowbell Rolled Ice Cream is located at 3782 S. McKenzie St, Fountain Plaza near Sears in Foley. For daily specials and more information visit facebook.com/cowbellrolledicecream. Ad.

The proportion eral season. Alabama’s 2019 red snapper season remains under the exempted fishing permit (EFP) that NOAA Fish- eries granted for the 2018-2019 seasons. That EFP allowed the individual states to set seasons that would allow harvest of a specific number of pounds of red snapper as long as it did not exceed the overall quota. Alabama anglers showed a renewed enthusiasm for red snapper fishing this past summer, and MRD officials were forced to close the snapper season early. The Marine Resources Division based its proposed 47- day 2018 season on the data gathered from the 2017 snapper season. That data included daily catch rate, size of the fish and the amount of angler effort (man- days fishing for snapper). Alabama closely monitors the red snapper harvest through its red snapper reporting program, known as Snapper Check. After the data came in on July 8, MRD realized that red snapper fishermen had taken advantage of near-ideal conditions to catch fish at such a rate that the quota of 984,291 pounds of red snapper would be exceeded unless the season was closed after 28 days. “Everything that you would be concerned about as an angler wasn’t a concern,” Anson said, explaining why angler participation and harvest rates skyrock- eted in 2018. “When you go offshore, you have to make sure you have enough money to pay for fuel and sup- Ad.
