In this issue:
- Yoga time. Practicing yoga gives women a new peace and a new view on life behind bars. Amanda Waldroupe visits the Living Yoga class at the all-women Coffee Creek Correctional Facility to learn how the centuries-old discipline is helping inmates find balance.
- Kings and queens of Pioneer Square. Tony Schick takes us inside the chess community at Pioneer Courthouse Square, where people fill the faux pillars with nonstop games.
- The other side. Photographer Stephen Kerpen gives us a peek at his exhibit on the lives of Palestinians and Bedouins living in the Occupied Territories.
- A little food and sympathy. Farmers markets help Oregon Trail Card holders stretch their dollars on local produce.
- Plus commentary from Art Garcia and Ruth Kovacs, and the poetry of Leo Rhodes, part of a special rededication ceremony for the Japanese American Historical Plaza in Tom McCall Waterfront Park. And the debut of sudoku — Street Roots has a new puzzle!
