News broke last week that Sacramento Ele-
mentary in Portland will be the first in town

The New York Times did an extensive look
into Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s
tax returns on Saturday, revealing that the
businessman turned politician could have
been avoiding paying his federal income taxes
for the last 18 years, due to a shocking $916
million loss he declared in 1995.

On Sunday, the Los Angeles County Cor-
oner identified Carnell Snell Jr., 18, as the

To ensure that all homebound

of shelf-stable meals next week
to more than 3,000 homebound
seniors throughout Multnomah,
Washington and Clark counties.

Meals on Wheels People center
advising them to use these emer-
gency supplies, officials said. The
shelf-stable meals include apple-

On days when weather is so
severe that the majority of volun-
teer drivers cannot deliver meals,
Meals on Wheels People staff
will phone all Meals on Wheels

check and to instruct clients to
consume one of their emergency

available to bring food to home-

ly without food.
Since 1970 Meals on Wheels
People has provided a nutrition-
al and social lifeline for seniors
through 30 meal sites in the Port-
land area and Meals on Wheels
