Babies’ first foods should be healthy Starting a baby on solid foods is exciting. They raise their eyebrows at you, pucker their little lips, and look shocked as they roll the new food around on their tongue, not sure what to do with it. More food ends up on their bib (and on you) than in their mouths the first few times a baby tries to eat.

Raiders brace for showdown with Knights Unlike Decembers past, the Southern Oregon men’s basketball team is unable to ambush unsuspecting opponents who might see tape of the typically slow-starting Raiders. In fact, the Raiders now wear a giant target on their chests in the form of a King Kong-like No. 1 NAIA Div. II rating these days, which, as Cascade Conference rivals Oregon Tech and Corban can attest, is both a blessing and a curse. Opinion & Editorial — EDITORIAL — FROM THE READERS BOARD — OPINION PAGE POLICY COLUMNIST Updated Tuesdays: From the Right Side Mike Green What we learned in 2005 This past year has been quite tumultuous for most Americans, and has left this nation irreparably changed to such a degree that it has seemingly ceased to be the country many of us thought it once was. The war in Iraq opened our eyes to the power of an out-of-control government undeterred by the boundaries of the Constitution and unyielding to the voices of protest from the people. We were told point blank that the goal of this nation is to democratize a Muslim country, and in the meantime sacrifice the requisite Iraqi and American lives necessary to achieve that goal. Meanwhile, a government that has ignored outcries from the American public now appeals to that same public for trust ... even while it argues in favor of legalized torture, secret prisons, the ability to detain anyone it deems a potential threat indefinitely without charges ... and oh yes, authority to spy upon the citizenry from which it receives authority and trust. CASE IN POINT (OPED) Updated Mondays: — CASE IN POINT France race riots show dangers of a nation apart From late October to early November of this year, riots swept through the suburbs of Paris. Hundreds of vehicles were torched, buildings were burned and French citizens accosted. At least one was killed. The riots began when two teenagers, believing they were being pursued by the police, ran to an electrical power substation and were electrocuted. That night young Muslims took to the streets, throwing rocks and bottles at cars and police, vandalizing businesses and schools. A shaken French government was slow to respond and seemed initially paralyzed by the civil unrest escalating across the country. — Obituaries — Police Log Carols: The sound of the season Care to come for a stroll down Memory Lane? It’s the time of year to sing a song of Christmas. I’m going on 86, but my memories are sharp and clear, and there’s been a lot of music in my life. Movies | T.V. | Calendar Stories updated by 5 p.m. Thursday ( Back issues available ) It’s not easy, even in Ashland to find a restaurant open for dinner on Christmas — understandably. But there is good news for those who want to dine out. At least a dozen restaurants plan to be open, and the chefs at many of these are planning special Christmas feasts. Youngster develops flute skills early By the looks of his room, Chris Peterson has much in common with other 11 year old boys. Basketball, soccer, football trophies line a windowsill, pictures of wolves grace the walls. What Chris doesn’t share with most 11 year olds is his talent for playing the Native American flute. Not only can he play a song once he hears it, he is self-taught, creates his own music and plays intuitively, bringing joy and often healing to others.

MORE LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT Entries closed for Ashland Independent Film Festival Movies: Now playing What do we really want for Christmas? Christianity is totally unique among the world’s religions because the entrance to it has such a very small door. Those of you who have enjoyed “The Lord of the Rings” movies, think of the tall wizard, Gandalf, coming to visit his Hobbit friend Bilbo Baggins at Bag-end. The little circle of a door, nestled in the hillside. He had to crouch way down, just like God, who first crouched down in the manger, so we could all know that we could do it too.
