Orville Hector | Ashland Daily Tidings See the front page of the printed version of today's Tidings January 17, 2006 Food options turn scarce Martin Luther King Jr. Day isn’t the only reason the restaurants in downtown Ashland close in January. At least one eatery closed its doors to honor the slain civil rights leader, shifting plans for a surprise birthday party on Monday evening. At least six others have taken winter vacations and several more have reduced offerings to dinner-only fare or weekend-exclusive hours On a holiday Monday, residents are taking time out with dogs Sky King Cole at county again Owner wants to get cows off Siskiyou Summit plot Mervyn’s mall store to close Medford store is among 20 shut down in the Northwest Colonic therapy popular around Ashland When 25-year-old Sarah West first learned about colon hydrotherapy four years ago from a book by Richard Anderson, “Cleanse and Purify Thyself,” she wanted to try it.

He couldn’t be picked out of a crowd by 99 percent of Americans. Even the president claims he doesn’t know who he is. Yet, he sat behind Laura Bush during the president’s state of the union address in 2004. President Bush and former president Bill Clinton have each allocated tens of millions of dollars through the CIA directly to him. He convinced congress, the NSA, the Pentagon and the American people that the U.S. needed to invade Iraq immediately because Saddam had WMDs. When he speaks, the highest levels of the U.S. government listen closely. Forget Bush. Disregard Cheney for the moment. And just ignore Rumsfeld and Powell altogether. Think about the man behind them all pulling the strings. CASE IN POINT (OPED) Updated Mondays: — CASE IN POINT The unitary executive theory settles in Over the last several years politicians and talk show hosts have suggested that in order to understand causation of a certain event — 9/11, for example — we must connect the dots. In other words, establish relationships between events that seem, at first blush, unrelated. Okay, fine. Let’s try and connect some dots. In the 2000 Republican presidential primary, John McCain and George W. Bush were locked in a fierce campaign for the nomination of their party. To the surprise of many, during the 2004 presidential campaign, John McCain stood stage center with the president in support of his reelection. In mid-December of last year, after much debate over the issue of torture as a means to extract information from detainees, John McCain attached an anti-torture amendment to the defense spending bill. When President Bush signed the bill into law over the New Year’s weekend, he quietly inserted what is known as a “presidential signing.” — OBITUARIES — POLICE Creating Narnia for kids It was 1986, or maybe ‘87, when a performance of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre left Julie Dwyer-Gower and Caroline Shaffer spellbound.

MORE LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT Movies: Now playing Ashland’s cultural heritage should be held up as a model Recently I was looking through a collection of materials housed in our fine library concerning the history of the Ashland Chautauqua society. The Chautauqua movement was begun in America by the Rev. John Heyl Vincent in 1874. Like millions of others of his countrymen, Vincent was appalled by the horrors of the Civil War. No one had imagined at the outset that such a war could have been so bloody. One United States Congressman had said on the floor of the House that he did not fear such a conflict. He insisted that the blood drawn in the event of a war between the states could be “mopped up with a single pocket handkerchief.” Church Listings Ashland residents traveling nationwide and around the globe provide first-person accounts of their travels, complete with pictures to share their adventures with the Tidings' readers.
