Wine Time University at the Ocean Grille
Weary of wine lists that look like the sequel to War and Peace? Choosing a wine for dinner should not require an advanced degree, nor should it be a game of Russian roulette. Expert or novice, Ocean Grille is taking the guesswork out of making…
Looking For A Beach Body? Get in Shape Now!
Getting in shape after the holidays has its challenges. Whether you’re looking to get back into shape or starting for the first time, it always seems to be an uphill battle. Once our bodies have stored fat, it is exceedingly difficult to lose it. However,…
Rosés are Pink...and Perfect for February!
Although often thought of as a summer wine because of its crispness and lightness, rosé is actually a perfect wine for the month of February—great as a Valentine’s Day gift or just something unusual to drink. Sometimes referred to as blush wine, rosé’s pink color is…

Antonio’s - Make it your Italian Restaurant

Local Accountant Rubs Shoulders with Rock World
What do Steely Dan and Michael Marcus, CPA, MST have in common? Twenty-one different state tax returns. Let’s start with Steely Dan. If you missed the music of the 1970s (too old, too young), you missed the jazz-rock icons, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen (Steely Dan),…
School Calendar Controversy
Remember the days when the school bell didn’t beckon children back to the classroom until after Labor Day? Earlier school start dates have been encroaching upon summer vacations for the past couple of decades. Like their counterparts across the state and other areas of the…
Vignettes from OWLTOWN - February
Owltown School. Standing alone. One room. Eight grades. Irish Valley. Paxinos. PA. The mid ‘40s. “Like kissing your sister” is something I never experienced, having no sisters… or brothers. In Irish Valley, there were cousins galore. If you weren’t a Goodman or a Lewis…
Memories of the Golden Rose Park
The juke box was playing Marvin Gaye and Wilson Pickett. The salt breeze eased in gently from the marsh, and overhead, the Atlantic Ocean forever waved, upside down on the hand-plastered ceiling. The beer was cold. The ribs were spicy. The company was warm and…
Editor's Note - February
Ahh, love! Now that’s something to celebrate. I’m not talking about the “butterflies in your stomach, can’t get enough of him/her, day-dreamy” kind of love. That, my friends, is lust. Real love is not always easy, but it is the most rewarding—for both parties. I’m referring…

TJ's Take & Bake - A Slice of Heaven
There’s a saying that drifts down college dorm halls and wafts about corporate conference rooms. Every now and then a co-ed or business exec can be heard to exclaim, “It’s like pizza. Even when it’s bad, it’s good.” The point being, presumably, that no matter…
It Could Be Worse - St. Valentine's Day Massacre
Valentine’s Day can be rough. What to get the wife? What to get the hubby? What if you’re only dating? Doesn’t the number of months spent in a relationship produce some mathematically-acceptable gift/price logarithm? Are roses and chocolates enough these days, or are they predictably…
Let the Good Times Roll..at Main Street Lanes
More and more, people are moving to Hilton Head Island and other beach communities to work, live, raise their families and pursue the average “American lifestyle,” only with a backdrop of sand, palm trees and the scent of ocean air. The primary difference in resort…
Scott & Frances Moody - A Picture Perfect Partnership

Hilton Head Rugby Club - Looking for a Few Men of Character
There is something about the struggle which humanity seems to appreciate. A certain nobility permeates our mental and physical proving grounds—those places where we lay it on the line to discover our capabilities. Virtues such as courage, heart and determination are addressed. Hours of training…
Escape from the “Friend Zone”
Alcatraz, affectionately known as “The Rock,” is one of the most famous prisons on the planet. Officially, no prisoner sent there ever succeeded in escaping (alive, that is). Alcatraz’s well earned reputation as the last stop for many of the nation’s most incorrigible inmates fascinates…
The Secret Life of M.C. Strong
Mary Catherine, “M.C.,” Strong knows a secret. It’s nothing new. Not really. It’s the same secret shared by many of the world’s greatest philosophers, leaders and teachers. She’s dying to tell… It’s no secret that M.C. has had a positive impact on our community. The former…
Ray & Alfreda Degheri - 50 Years of Wedded Bliss
Like water for chocolate, there was no stopping the sweet romance that began its slow simmer in a Baltimore elevator in 1953. Unbeknownst to the young couple, Ramon (Ray) Degheri and Alfreda Ostrowski, they were in for a ride that would take them much higher…
He Says, She Says - Valentine's Day
One subject. Two very different opinions. “He Says… She Says” This Month’s Topic: Valentine’s Day She Says: I do not fully understand what the conundrum is with men and Valentine’s Day. Certainly, the widespread promotion of Valentine’s Day seems largely driven by the retail industry. But in my opinion,…
