D.W.Linn Ashland, OR Student: Give school decision more thought I would like you to know about all the kids that will have sad feelings, and some of the teachers too, if Lincoln School closes. I know that money is short, and Measure 30 failed, but it's like you're separating a big family. To me it feels like, well it feels strange. Well, what I'm trying to tell you is: Even if I don't know all the kids at Lincoln, it feels weird that we won't all be together. So I hope it makes people think again about closing Lincoln School. Amy Takeda (Third grade student at Lincoln) Praise for the 'new-look' Tidings Being an Ashland resident and a Tidings reader since 1978, I want to extend my praise to the new "look" of the newspaper. I especially appreciate the new "backpage" feature. You have done a very good job of reporting on all local issues and features, but I would suggest that you limit the page to only locals and local issues. Also, it is nice to see the Tidings have an editorial backbone again; the first time since Richard Sept and Tom Reid left the paper, and the editorial staff decided to go "politically correct." Keep up the good work.
