Frank Cubillo was born in Brooklyn, NY, so it is understandable that one of his strongest musical influences would be ‘Ol Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. After a long (38 years) career in the Marines, Frank Cubillo decided to completely change his career path and become a full-time musician. While his wife may have been surprised at first, she supported him in his wishes and has enjoyed the ride. What is it about Frank Sinatra that captivates everyone? Cubillo explains that the...

Ever hear of “The One That Got Away?” Well, this fish tale just happens to be true, and it happened right here in the 757. Josiah and Zeek VanFleet went out on what would be an “ordinary” fishing trip – or so they thought. They were very excited as they had just become the proud owners of their very own boat, and were ready to test it out in the open water. They were ready to fish and were not disappointed when they felt a strong bite. After a 2 1/2 hour fight, this beast was captured...

As you can imagine, a metal shovel digging into an electrical system, can have...

Favorite Local Day Trips or Weekend Getaway? Here’s one…. Cape Charles, Virginia. Only about an hour’s drive from Hampton Roads, you will truly feel like you are “away” from the everyday world. The drive over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel is beautiful, as is the wide-open spaces along Route 13 as you drive north up the Eastern Shore. A perfect day trip for me to Cape Charles involves a few “must have stops” along the way. Typically, I drive to the farthest stop north in the trip and...

Her unique sound and gorgeous musical style left us begging for more, so we asked Helena a few more questions: You said your father was a major musical influence in your life. Was he your main teacher? Yes actually, my mother too. My dad is a guitar player and my mom plays piano. I got more of 60’s & 70’s rock n roll/folk/latin influence from my father, and my soul/jazz/funk influence from my mothers musical palette. They both were very busy growing up so my main musical teacher became the...

What was it that originally piqued your interest in the history of Virginia wines? I began working at Chrysalis Vineyards in Middleburg VA in 2005. This area, like most of VA, is rich with American history and wine! As a member of the DAR, I am especially interested in 18th century history around the formation of our country. Wine, craft beer and spirits were all a part of this. Based on your research, where was the first winery established in Virginia? This is somewhat of a debated...

You were diagnosed with diabetes at a young age, what are some good ways to support kids who are facing this diagnosis. When I was diagnosed my family changed some of their dietary habits to support me in my new lifestyle change. This helped...

After giving Quincy some great Valentine’s Day tips, Maria DeGalleford helped us understand why it is so helpful to hire a wedding planner by answering few, more in-depth questions for us. You mentioned we are currently in “Prime Consult” season. How far in advance would you advise someone to begin planning a big event?

We had a quick chat with the members of Starcoast and premiered their latest song, Believe In Love. Now, we get a bit more personal. How did you first know that you, as a band, were a good fit? Sometimes when things jell you don’t think too much on it. We kind of just have the same outlook for life. We all just felt like brothers since the first time we kicked back, so it’s more of a family first, band second kind of thing. We never really thought about or questioned it fitting, but there...

n 2020, Erin Powell became a COVID bride. With the ups and downs of planning a wedding, postponing, eloping, and postponing yet again, she knows first-hand that love really is all you need. Like the many holidays that have come and gone in the last year, Valentine’s Day is going to look a little different this year. But if this pandemic has taught us anything, it’s how important it is to show the people you love how much you care. Since this is the first (and hopefully last) Valentine’s...

A simple yearly pap can save your life. Early detection is...
