McClatchy Newspapers
2/2/2009, by Mary Ann Anderson
McClatchy-Tribune News Service (MCT) - Last year, when Time magazine's resident rabble-rouser Joel Stein set out to sample at least one wine from all 50 states, I don't reckon, as we would say in the local vernacular, that he had an idea in his head that he would make us Georgians madder than an ...

Chicago Tribune (MCT) - Sliding down the hill, my skis were pointed right at the rocks, and all I could think was, "This ain't gonna feel good."

Whirlwind weekend: Rain or shine, Portland beckons
McClatchy Newspapers
1/26/2009, by Lauren Viera
Chicago Tribune (MCT) - Why everyone in the world hasn't up and moved to Portland is a mystery.

What makes Fatima special? On arriving the visitor can not help but notice that the area and its inhabitants remain humble and simple. There is an immediate sense of calm, particularly when entering the shrine area. It is not the grand Basilica that draws the pilgrim to prayer, but rather the simple Capelinha, site of the actual apparitions. It is here that pilgrims drop to their knees in front of the statue where Mary, Our Mother, made her requests to the 3 shepherd children; pray, repent, amend and sacrifice. Her specific prayer of choice? The daily recitation of the Rosary. And her promise? World peace, the total conversion of Russia and the interior conversion of individual souls. Fatima offers hope to a tired world. It is the only Marian Shrine where a public miracle, “the dancing sun”, witnessed by thousands of onlookers, proved its authenticity and continues to offer pilgrims from every walk of life spiritual renewal.
