In case you missed it, here are some of the top stories of the week:
PORTLAND — Four men, all affiliated with an outlaw motorcycle gang, are facing murder charges in the death of a man whose body was found in Ridgefield last summer, police announced Wednesday.
Robert Lee Huggins’ body was found by loggers in an open field on July 1. Investigators said it appeared that the 56-year-old’s body was dumped there, about 100 feet south of 179th Street. Investigators learned of a suspect that same day, but it took detectives from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and the Portland Police Bureau nearly 10 months to build a case against those believed involved.

When Randy Miller was moving into his new home more than 13 years ago, one must-have for the house was a fire sprinkler system.
“I know the value of what sprinklers provide,” said Miller, the deputy fire marshal at the Camas-Washougal Fire Department. “If I have a choice, I won’t live in a house without them.”

A Vancouver couple have donated $12 million to Oregon Health & Science University for a new, five-story patient and family guesthouse under construction on OHSU’s South Waterfront Campus in Portland.
The building will be named the Gary and Christine Rood Family Pavilion after the couple, who are longtime residents of Clark County. Scheduled to open in 2018 adjacent to OHSU’s expanding Center for Health and Healing, the 76-unit facility will provide temporary lodging for up to 3,000 patients, families and caregivers annually who must travel long distances to use OHSU’s services.

Nine-year-old Caleb bounced around the house and hammed it up for a photographer’s camera while mom Tresa tried to get him to cooperate and dad Simonn cracked jokes about the sorry state of country music.
It was a fairly typical family scene at the Marshes’ house in east Vancouver last week for a family that’s been learning to redefine typical since Simonn Marsh, 35, was paralyzed in a fishing accident 10 years ago.

Simple, hand-formed, Italian wood-fired pizza defines Napoletana pizza, and that is precisely what you can expect from Pizzeria La Sorrentina. The smart blue food truck has a fixed location just off the southeast corner of 78th Street and Highway 99 (Hazel Dell’s food cart pod) where its real wood-fired oven cooks pizzas six days a weeks in under three minutes.
