Ill and on the streets As homelessness increases, so too does the need for compassionate medical care; Catholic agencies and individuals are stepping up to help Walter, homeless off and on for years, rests in the Hollywood District of Northeast Portland April 16. âEveryone on the street has a medical condition, itâs just a matter of degree,â said the 60-year-old. âI have skin and digestive difficulties. Some have cancer.â (Katie Scott/Catholic Sentinel) select University of Portland nursing student Crystal Moran administers a flu shot to a homeless woman last fall outside Blanchet House.

PROVIDENCE Anyone who travels to America s big cities like San Francisco is familiar with parklets. They extend the sidewalk with art installations or sitting areas. They create a pleasing aesthetic element to the streetscape. It s lovely to see these popping up in Providence, extending outside dining rooms with art, even if they are a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the state s Take It Outside initiative, The Steel Yard, a nonprofit industrial art center on Sims Street in Providence, has partnered with the city s Department of Art, Culture + Tourism. With grants from Rhode Island Commerce, The Steel Yard is delivering original artwork installations to restaurants and other businesses.

Caroline Treadway’s first film, Light, is a long time coming. The director began to struggle with an eating disorder around the age of 13 or 14 but eventually started a process of recovery when she discovered climbing as a young adult. About ten years ago, while building a career as a writer and photographer focusing on outdoor sports, she pitched a story about eating disorders to multiple climbing magazines but none of them bit. It wasn’t until last year that Treadway, now 44, decided she was ready to make a film about the subject. Light opens up a conversation about eating disorders that reaches far beyond the climbing community, which is a testament to all the time she simmered on the idea.
Courtesy of Fearless Photography International Womenâs Day was March 8, and that got us thinking about the brilliant women of the West who deserve more than one day a year to be celebrated. This is Best of the West, International Womenâs Day edition. Sunset Staff – March 9, 2021 We only recommend things we love. If you buy something through our site, we might earn a commission. Sunshine in a Bottle Rancher Elizabeth Poett, who raises organic, grass-fed beef on her familyâs 180-year-old historical land grant property in Santa Barbara, is as #womancrushwednesday as it gets. The young mother works her familyâs 40,000-acre property and sells her beef at local markets and through her website. Make no mistake: Itâs good. But my favorite product from her property is the Rancho San Julian honey produced from hives on the land. The bees feast on coastal flowers and plants, including black and purple sage, mustard, fillerie, willow, manzanita, ceanothis, and white and yellow sweet clover. Beekeeper Billy William, who has been working bees on Rancho San Julian for just over 40 years, processes all the honey on site and can be found on the ranch almost every day checking his hives and caring for the bees. The honey is packaged in handsome, gift-ready glass. And it tastes like sunshine in a bottle.Â
She climbs, she plays piano and She Moves Mountains Like many who grew up in the Pacific Northwest, Lizzy Van Patten was exposed to the outdoors through hiking and camping. While attending school in Washington state, she came across a book on hiking routes. I was a math and political science major, and thought it a cool idea to do 25 of the (recommended) routes by my 25th birthday, recalls Van Patten. On one such hike she saw Mt. Baker up close for the first time. I was immediately inspired by it, she said. After watching the movie, 180 South, about adventuring in Patagonia, she set her sights on climbing.

As we shivered our way through February and awaited warmer weather, Outside editors spent time with dystopian fiction, award-winning films, and moody Fiona Apple songs. Here are the books, music, and movies we enjoyed most last month plus one virtual film festival we can’t wait to see in March. What We Read Last month I read The Memory Police, a novel by Japanese author Yoko Ogawa that was published in 1994 but translated into English last year. My roommate got this book from the library and loved it so much that she passed it to my other roommate, who in turn passed it to me. It’s well overdue by now, but it’s worth the fine. The story centers on a writer living on a small island where things keep disappearing. A loosely drawn fascist
