Bell was inducted into the Arkansas Softball Hall of Fame on July 2 at North Little Rock.
FARMINGTON Peachtree activities coordinator Lisa McCoy skillfully replicated a game situation when she handed newly inducted Arkansas Softball Hall-of-Famer Carroll Ray Bell a miniature bat and steered him toward a pinata. We re going to let you have the first swing, McCoy said as Bell gripped the miniature baseball bat and worked up his approach while sizing up the baseball pinata dangling from a string in the center of a reception held in his honor July 9 at Farmington s Peachtree Village, a retirement and assisted living facility.

Coronation Street star Shelley King has opened up about growing up without lesbian visibility in media and coming out to her parents aged 42.
King wrote a candid essay for
Metro that she was “called a tomboy as a child” but realised that the “term didn’t capture me completely”. As she entered her teenage years, she became “increasingly angry with the world and myself”. She tried to find “some representation” about lesbians in media and began to read books and watch films and plays “all about women who were attracted to other women”.

By Zack Haber A community kitchen, clinic, toilet and shower made out of cob and wood sit under the 880 Freeway within a homeless community west of Wood Street in West Oakland on April 18.
Members of three organizations – Artists Building Communities, Essential Food and Medicine, and Living Earth Structures – have built a kitchen, clinic, free store, stage, toilet, oven, and shower with and for a homeless community near Wood Street in West Oakland.
Made out of wood covered in brown cob, the structures that house these facilities seem almost as natural extensions of the earth upon which they sit. Empty wine bottles serve as windows, and old discarded clothes serve as insulation. Sculpted images of trees decorate the structures’ surfaces and succulent plants sprout along the perimeters of their roofs.

Winding stone pathways connect the structures and are bordered by little gardens of herbs, greens, and flowers. The kitchen has a stove, sink with running water, shelving full of bread, and a refrigerator full of food. Herbs and emergency medical supplies fill the clinic. The shower’s water runs hot.
