Put together memorabilia of the family reunion. Collect recipes for a heritage cookbook and video storytellers for the rest of the family.
Condo roofs collapse under heavy snow in Govt. Camp
Around town, the damage was evident. Tarps cover collapsed or damaged roofs. The snow has ripped off siding and taken down chimneys. The damage began after weeks of heavy snow followed by lots of rain. Mount Hood Ski Bowl hired extra crews to shovel the snow from its buildings. "When you have heavy snow and get any kind of moisture on top of it that snow acts like a big sponge and holds all that water weight," explained Ski Bowl's Troy Fischer. Some Government Camp residents believe as more snow melts, more damage will likely be revealed. They worry this could be just the beginning. .

With their stock portfolio plunging, the economy is of prime concern to east Mesa residents Walter and Rosemary Thomas. And with Bill Clinton's success on that front during his presidency, the lifetime Democrats gave Hillary Clinton the thumbs up over Obama. That, and her experience. "She knows how to handle things, especially stuff overseas," Rosemary Thomas said. "I also admire her for her fortitude. As for the Clintons' past scandals, Walter just rolled his eyes. "Bill's sex stuff had nothing to do with his ability to run the country," Walter said. "It's time we got our priorities straight."

Rewind 24 hours and Kevin Keegan was morphed into a man who dropped a tenner and found a penny after watching his Newcastle side capitulate in the second half, to fall to a 4-1 defeat at Aston Villa. Michael Owen made light of being dumped by Fabio Capello to head Newcastle into a first half lead but after the interval Newcastle defended as only Keegan sides can. John Carew played bully-boy to perfection in muscling his way to a hat-trick, while the fact Wilfred Bouma helped himself to a goal at the 76th time of asking is testimony to the paucity of Newcastle's defensive resolve. Villa's win moves them to within three points of fourth placed Everton, who cling onto the final UEFA Champions League spot after grinding out a 1-0 win over a free-falling Reading.
Gluttons for refreshment
Had Paulo Marchi become a chef, as he dreamt when he was 16, it is difficult to imagine his appearance would differ greatly from what it is now. A beard covers an obviously jolly face below which is a plump frame that would have filled out a chef's jacket and apron. No one would have worried about eating less than magnificently at Casa Marchi. But when he was interviewed as a possible apprentice by a traditional Milanese chef more than 30 years ago, he was told that he would have to spend his first year peeling potatoes. Instead, he decided to take the much riskier option of freelance sports writing like his father. Marchi wrote initially for Il Giornale about football, skiing and sailing before turning to food and restaurants. .

He said that it's probably because he's black that he roots for the underdog. Me. I don't look at it that way; I don't believe that all convicted adult felons are underdogs. Plus, I have always felt for the person who just had their car stolen, or was mugged or raped or even killed. Those are the ones I feel sorry for. And I guess even though Leon and I approach our jobs in pretty much the same way, which is rule enforcer first, someone to talk to second, the inmates must pick up on this philosophical difference somehow. It's amazing how they can do that. Like the last time we came out of a staff meeting after having just decided to initiate a surprise room-to-room search for contraband. When we got upstairs most everybody was in their rooms organizing things, cleaning up, and I'm sure, tossing an item or two out the window into the alley.
