On Location: Ricky Trione's Inspirational Art (by Foley Middle School, Foley, AL)
Can a man who became blind in the middle of his life turn his disability into something great? Come and find out while watching Ricky Trione share his special talent of painting without sight. Filmed in the southern part of Alabama, where Ricky Trione grew up, the film shows how he remembers events as a child and then feels his way through the painting technique. This movie will both inspire you and touch your heart.
Artist Ricky Trione spent his earlier years creating pen and ink drawings until two different, unfortunate accidents left him without his eyesight. With help from his fellow local artists, Ricky was able to master a new technique of painting by touch. Today, he creates bold, colorful artwork that reflects his Gulf Coast upbringing and his positive outlook on life.
Painting is the art of applying different kinds of paint (acrylic, oil pastel, watercolor, etc.) and other mediums to a surface. It is a visual art form that allows artists to express their ideas or emotions, tell a story, document reality as they see it, or simply create work they find visually pleasing.
Our community is named the Forward City. Foley was named after John Burton Foley who moved here and built the first railroad. Foley is located in the southern region of Baldwin County and hosts a variety of arts and crafts events, as well as serves as home to key museums for the region. For example, Art in the Park, The Shrimp Festival, and the L&N Deport Museum. Foley is less than 10 minutes away from the Gulf of Mexico, which inspires and attracts many artists to the area. Foley is a wonderful secret.
From 2008-2010, nineteen schools from across the United States created videos as part of the On Location program. A media studio on wheels visited each school for two weeks and provided students the gear and training to tell the story of the arts in their community.
From go-go music in Washington DC, to gullah woodburning in Beaufort, South Carolina, to modern dance in Berkley, Michigan, the arts of a community can be as different as it's geography.
The Kennedy Center traveled the country to help students tell the story of the arts in their community, and the result is a video collection reflecting a rich diversity of local artists and art forms across the United States.
The videos in this series were scripted, produced and edited by students using professional equipment, under the supervision of Kennedy Center teaching artists.

Pictures From The Past - Fairhope, Al
A slide show of the town of Fairhope during it's early years (1905) The town is located in Baldwin County, Alabama. You may access these photo's by going to our website at
Fairhope was founded in November, 1894 on the site of former Alabama City as a utopian single tax colony by the Fairhope Industrial Association: a group of 28 followers of economist Henry George who had incorporated earlier that year in Des Moines, Iowa. Their corporate constitution explained their purpose in founding a new colony:
to establish and conduct a model community or colony, free from all forms of private monopoly, and to secure to its members therein equality of opportunity, the full reward of individual efforts, and the benefits of co-operation in matters of general concern.
In forming their demonstration project, they pooled their funds to purchase land at Stapleton's pasture on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay and then divided it into a number of long-term leaseholds. The corporation paid all governmental taxes from rents paid by the lessees, thus simulating a single-tax. The purpose of the single-tax colony was to eliminate disincentives for productive use of land and thereby retain the value of land for the community.
Fairhope Avenue was one of the properties on the 1910 version of the board game The Landlord's Game.
In 1907 educator Marietta Johnson founded the School for Organic Education in Fairhope. The school was praised in John Dewey's influential 1915 book Schools of Tomorrow. Dewey and Johnson were founding members of the Progressive Education Association.
Fairhope became a popular wintering spot for artists and intellectuals. Sherwood Anderson, Wharton Esherick, Carl Zigrosser, and Upton Sinclair were among its notable visitors.

The Fairhope Single-Tax Corporation still operates, with 1,800 leaseholds covering more than 4,000 acres (16 km2) in and around the current city of Fairhope. Despite the ideals of the corporation, the process of land speculation has propelled the transformation of Fairhope from utopian experiment to artist's and intellectual's colony, to boutique resort and affluent suburb of Mobile. In fact, some local residents refer to Fairhope as Carmel-by-the-Bay alluding to Carmel-by-the-Sea on the Monterey Peninsula in California.
For over 50 years, fishermen and residents of Fairhope have experienced the jubilee phenomenon. During a jubilee along the shores of Mobile Bay, some aquatic animals, including blue crabs, flounder, stingrays, and eels, come to the shallow water, such as around Fairhope, Alabama. At those times, it is possible to catch the fish, crabs, and other sealife near the water's edge.
A nearby attraction known as the Weeks Bay Nature Reserve is known for the many oaks, wildlife and pitcher plants along the elevated walkways through the swamp forest.
The Bell Building on the Faulkner State Community College campus currently houses the Marietta Johnson Museum and Fairhope Historical Museum.[4] Fairhope is currently in the process of building a historic museum that will be located in the near center of downtown where the city hall was once located.

Alabama's local shrimp industry in Bon Secour
Watch as we follow a day in the life of one of Alabama's busiest fish market owners, Billy Parks of Billy's Seafood in Bon Secour, Alabama.
Minutes away from Gulf Shores and Orange Beach is some of the best local shrimp you can buy.
Did you know that 90% of the shrimp in the USA comes from imports? I'll spare you the details about low inspection percentages, dangerous antibiotics and human trafficking associated with foreign shrimp.
Our neighbors in Bon Secour risk their lives every day to make a living. Long trips away from home, rough waters, natural disasters. You name it, they've been through it. But, they're still here delivering some of the best wild caught shrimp you can get. Billy's only offers domestic shrimp.
At Billy's it's a family tradition. They've been around since 1975 and Billy's brothers, nephew and friends sell their shrimp and other catch to Billy. Fresh crabs, flounder, oysters, shrimp. Their motto is: If it swims... we've got it!
Take a cooler out to Billy's and they'll pack it to travel.
When you're at a restaurant, always ask your server where their shrimp come from. Feed our friends. Eat local.

Alabama Aging Outside the Box Interview
I was honored to be the guest on Shirley W. Mitchell's internet radio show, Aging Outside the Box, this Wednesday, August 5, 2009. The show airs to over 240 countries and an estimated two million listeners. Shirley and producer, Cruiser Small, are such warm hosts it's always a joy to be their guest.
And this time was really special for me because they both drove down the next day to attend the opening of my solo exhibit, my first exhibit in the state of friendly Alabama.
Not only that, I was joined during the interview by the curator at the Foley Performing Arts Center, Bonnie Blaylock, who is the dynamo behind not only my exhibit, but all their numerous events.
Pictures From The Past - Elberta, Al
Photo slide show of Elberta, Al
Elberta was founded in the early 20th century by a Chicago based land company. The Baldwin County Colonization Company was organized in 1903 and the first settlers arrived in 1904. The community was founded by farmers who had immigrated from Germany to the midwest of America. The land company advertised the area as having rich soil and a climate that allowed year round farming. The first two organized churches were Lutheran (1908) and Catholic (1911). (Land of Milk and Honey by John Haupt as told to Nina Keenam, 1990)[citation needed]
The land company laid out Baldwin County in the manner found in the midwest; that is to say, roads were laid out on section lines that were due north-south and east-west. Property, especially farms, were laid out in squares. With the immigration taking these farmers through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and other midwestern states, the early years of the community resembled midwestern farming communities more than those of the deep south. In the 1930s through the 1940s, the town boasted a farmer's hall where dancing and singing were enjoyed, a hotel, a movie theatre, as well as a butcher shop, grocery and drug store. Many of the residents spoke German and St. Mark's Lutheran Church offered German language services until 1976.[citation needed]
The State Bank of Elberta was incorporated in 1922. The bank was unusual in that it did not close during the Great Depression.[citation needed]
The town was incorporated by vote on December 9, 1952.[citation needed]
To support the town's volunteer fire department, The Elberta German Sausage Festival was started in the mid-1970s. This event is held the last weekend of March and the last weekend of October and features polka music, Elberta German Sausage, and 250 arts and crafts vendors.[citation needed]
The town is the home of the Baldwin County Heritage Museum. The museum is located on US Highway 98 east of the town. It features exhibits devoted to the development of Baldwin County. The museum includes a large amount of farm equipment and exhibits of life in farm homes. The old St. Mark's Lutheran Church building was moved to the grounds and restored.
