Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Sometimes, you just want to go off to see some other city's history. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9, you can wander through nine private residences on the Newberg Historic Home Tour.

For a town settled by no-nonsense Quakers and ambitious hops peddlers, brick makers and store owners, Newberg has many ornamented houses. Turn-of-the-last-century dwellings donned decorative shingles and hand-carved adornments. Guests were greeted by Doric columns on cast stone pedestals and glazed front doors.

Tour goers ($15, yamhillenrichmentsociety.org) will see a 1905 American Foursquare clad with shiplap, plaster corner boards and frieze boards. The interior was completely restored by the son of the longtime owners except for the red wallpaper in the entry. The two-story house is furnished with antiques and nicely curated collections, from ruby flashed glass to shaving mugs.

A well-preserved 1912 Colonial Revival-style three-level house was built for the owner of a downtown general store. Much of it is original, thanks to the first owner living there for 60 years and current owners respecting its origins. American chestnut trees are as old 102 years as the house.

An Italianate residence built in 1881 was bought four years later by the uncle of Herbert Hoover. The future U.S. president lived with the family while attending Friends Pacific Academy (now George Fox University).

Other stops on the well-planned tour are Queen Anne-style houses built in 1895, 1896 and 1904, an 1883 Eastlake Stick-style house, a 1898 Queen Anne Vernacular-style parsonage for the Newberg First Baptist Church and a 1908 Colonial Revival-Craftsman house.

The tour benefits Yamhill Enrichment Society (503-883-9654), which supports community education, arts, history and agriculture projects.

Why leave wine country? The tour is followed from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. by a Garden Party ($20) where bites will be offered by Jac's Deli & Frozen Custard, Rouge Catering at Subterra Restaurant,Ruddick/Wood Tavern and the new, talked-about Recipe - A Neighborhood Kitchen.

Wineries offering tastes are Artisanal Wine Cellars, Fire + Flood, Anne Amie Vineyards and Ancient Cellars.

VATICAN CITYPope Francis has become the first Pope to visit a Pentecostal church, pressing his outreach to evangelicals who represent Catholicisms greatest competition for Christian souls around the globe.

Francis flew by helicopter on Monday to visit the under-construction Evangelical Church of Reconciliation in the southern city of Caserta. He met privately with Pentecostal preacher Giovanni Traettino, an old friend.

Speaking to some 350 Pentecostal faithful in the church, Francis apologized for Catholic persecution of Pentecostals during Italys fascist regime, when the practice of their faith was forbidden, and stressed that there was unity in diversity within Christianity.

Among those who persecuted and denounced Pentecostals, almost as if they were crazy people trying to ruin the race, there were also Catholics, he said. I am the pastor of Catholics, and I ask your forgiveness for those Catholic brothers and sisters who didnt know and were tempted by the devil.

He acknowledged the remarkable nature of his visit, saying: Someone will be surprised: The Pope went to visit the evangelicals? But he went to see his brothers.

Catholics have often compared Pentecostal groups to cults and accused them of overly aggressive, unethical proselytizing. The popular, charismatic movements have drained parishioners from the Catholic Church, particularly in Francis own Latin America.

But Francis has met unofficially with several Pentecostal and evangelical preachers recently, including the Texas televangelists James Robinson and Kenneth Copeland.

He recorded an iPhone video for a Pentecostal conference hosted by Copeland, whose prosperity gospel ministrystressing that God will reward the faithful with health and wealthclashes with Francis own embrace of the value of a poor Church.

GENEVA Fox Valley Presbyterian Church, 227 East Side Drive, Geneva, will host one of the largest rummage sales in the region to benefit several local missions of the church, officials said.

The rummage sale will be at the church from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, with a half-price sale that day from 8 to 9:45 a.m. and a fill-the-bag-for-$5 sale from 10 a.m. to noon.

A bake sale will be from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.Friday.

Items for sale will include furniture, housewares, sports equipment, clothing, toys, games, jewelry, antiques, collectibles, linens, books, office items, music and holiday supplies.

The church took a year off from its annual sale last year, because of construction to its education wing, said Kathy Jacobsma of Geneva, who is co-chairwoman of the event with Alice Leite of St. Charles.

Now, the new space has wider aisles and more space for all of the rummage sale items, so the event space is set up like a department store and each area has coordinators who organize and display the items, Jacobsma said.

This is quite a big operation, Jacobsma said. Its 7,000 square feet, all indoors and air conditioned. Members have been storing items in basements and brought them all to church over two weeks.

Jacobsma said because the sale offers coffee pots and popcorn poppers, as well as dishes, cups and mugs, students going away to college might like to pick up some inexpensive items.

She said organizers hope to raise $15,000 to $16,000 to benefit local missions of the church, including helping the Northern Illinois Food Bank, Hesed House, Lazarus House, CASA Kane County, Fox Valley Hospice, Mutual Ground, TriCity Family Services, the South Shore Drill Team, Salvation Army, Stephen Ministries, Third Friday Community Dinners and Living Waters.

Living Waters is the only non-local charity on the list. Its mission is to bring water filtration systems to the poor people of Guatemala.

CABELL COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) --The sounds of hammering, sawing, laughter and appreciation filled one construction project on Tuesday

Nearly 160 volunteers are working in and around Huntington and Cabell County replacing roofs, doing yard work, building handicap ramps and doing general home repairs -- all for free.

It is part of a mission trip involving high school and college students from across the country, trying to make a difference in the lives of others.

Rheta Keefer has lived in her house along Carson Lane nearly all her life. She has needed a new roof, but has never been able to replace it until this group arrived with hammers and shingles in hand.

I wanted to cry and I said to my neighbor last night, I just want to cry' and I'm not a crier. Its tears of joy, Keefer said.

The students have teamed up with five local churches on this mission project.

Nick Hughes is from Pittsburgh and says isn't not just about meeting the spiritual needs of others but basic everyday needs, as well.

"That's one thing that Christ definitely stressed in his ministries, taking care of real needs that people have, not just preaching the word and saying that we love you but actually showing it and we are showing it today by putting on a roof," Hughes said.

The students will be hammering and sawing the entire week on various projects.
