The new world
So the film My Big Fat Greek Wedding is not complete fantasy? They both shake their heads. "Not that far off," says John. "Exaggerated, but not far off."Marilena's mother came to Stirling and stayed for four months to help with Maria. That's the way Greek families are. "Family life seems a bit different here," says Marilena. Behind the bar, Patrik agrees. Albania is not in the EU, so his family cannot get visas, and if he can afford to, he spends £500 twice a year to go back to see them. "But you get brothers and sisters here, one who lives in Stirling and the other in Glasgow, and they don't see each other for six months," he says, clearly baffled.The human instinct to explore, to aim further than home, has always fuelled immigration, but as people get older, they also often experience the homing instinct.
Monroe motel manager dies after fight with customer
A 46-year-old Monroe motel manager was beaten to death Tuesday morning after ordering a customer off the property. Witnesses told Monroe police officers that they heard the suspect and motel manager Kenneth Wolfe yelling at each other and squaring off in the parking lot of the Brookside Motel, in the 19900 block of Highway 2, around 1 a.m., according to the police report. Wolfe received an "uppercut" punch to his jaw, fell backward and hit the pavement, the report said. Police found the injured man on the ground motionless and bleeding from his head, the report said. Wolfe was pronounced dead at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center at 6:24 a.m. The suspect, whose last address was on Camano Island, fled the motel but turned himself in to authorities later in the day, the report said.
Mariners voice Dave Niehaus finally receives cherished call to ...
There's finally a spot in Cooperstown for a Mariners legend. And what can you say about that but "My, Oh, My!" Dave Niehaus, the voice and in many ways the face of the franchise, received the call Tuesday morning that many Northwest baseball fans felt was long overdue. He was named the 2008 winner of the Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in baseball broadcasting. That means he'll be inducted into the broadcasting wing of baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., on July 27 as part of Hall of Fame Weekend. The Mariners' lead announcer in each of their 31 seasons, Niehaus has broadcast all but a handful of the team's games since 1977. His trademark call of "My, Oh, My!" is about as much a Seattle landmark as the Space Needle. "What a birthday present," said Niehaus, who turned 73 Tuesday.
