Stephanie Day, the executive director of CATCH, has worked the better part of two decades trying to solve the problem with homelessness in Southwest Idaho. The Idaho Legislature has its own solution. On July 1, it will become a crime to sleep (in cars or otherwise) on public sidewalks, parks or public property regardless of the availability of emergency shelter beds. Cities that fail to enforce the law are subject to fines. The bill was labeled an “anti-camping” bill.

With a name like “Angel Wings Network,” you’d gather that this must be a special nonprofit organization. It goes far beyond that, according to Mabel Dobbs, the executive director. “It has become my ministry,” she says. She’s right. Angel Wings Network is doing the Lord’s work, without a sermon, a choir and congregation. “I’m 83 years old and I know of people who retire, sit down, do nothing and get old,” she says. “This (Angel Wings Network) has become so much a part of my life.

Evin Bask has 5 million reasons to be happy. Actually, 5.1 million reasons. That was the dollar amount raised during the recent Idaho Gives campaign to help nonprofits and Bask has been beaming ever since. This was the first time that Idaho Gives exceeded $5 million in its 12 years of existence. Bask’s title is “senior philanthropic impact director” for the Idaho Nonprofit Center/Idaho Community Foundation, which hosts Idaho Gives, so the annual campaign is a big part of her job.

208 343-7025 — women should keep this number filed away, especially those who live in remote, rural areas of the Gem State. And this is the number to call if you want to get out of an abusive relationship, which may include domestic violence or sexual assault. That’s the number of the Women’s & Children’s Alliance hotline, where a friendly voice will hear your story and direct you to resources in your area. The WCA fields almost 4,500 calls a year, so don’t think you are alone with this situation.
Opinion: The saga of one very cool cat

Pssst! My name is Crash and I am the owner of Simply Cats, Boise’s premier cageless, no-kill, feline adoption center. OK, I don’t own the facility. That would require money, and I have no idea what money is – unless it’s measured in catnip. But I do run the place, with staff people and a medical team responding to my every Meow. For my hard work, I get regular meals, a soft place to sleep and my litter box scooped daily. That’s the least they can do for someone of my stature.
