An AIDS pandemic, and yet they smile HIV/AIDS, seven letters that have become so much a part of our contemporary vocabulary that when we hear them spoken, we scarcely take notice. In America it is seemingly halted, the numbers of those ill are declining, behaviors have changed, antiretrovirals are available to those infected.

(no story) Robert Bruce | For the Tidings Opinion & Editorial — OPINION PAGE POLICY — GUEST FORUM No way around it: Heating costs will be high this winter COLUMNIST Updated Tuesdays: From the Right Side Mike Green WHY I DISLIKE CHRISTMAS WARNING : You should NOT read this column if you subscribe to ANY of the following: Greetings of “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays;” traditions of Christmas trees, wreaths, yuletide, mistletoe, belief in Santa, reindeer, dancing snowmen, elves, gift-giving, the “spirit of giving” ... or the notion that Christ was born on December 25. Disclaimer : Under NO circumstances should any misguided child be allowed access to this column. I cannot be responsible for the repercussions of a misguided child’s exposure to the whole truth. Despite centuries of celebrating the birth of Christ as an original Christian holy day, the Church offers proof that December 25 is a long-standing celebratory day in which pagans worship nature. It is surprising that Christians would also engage in traditions designed to pay homage to nature that God created … a specific warning given to Christians to avoid. CASE IN POINT (OPED) Updated Mondays: — CASE IN POINT : Education In America Reflections on No Child Left Behind With notable exceptions, public education in America has been in steady decline for decades. Generations of school children, to utilize the language of the current administration, have been left behind — passed along, grade after grade, with little regard to their proficiency or their futures. Consider this one fact alone: less than one-third of all fourth graders read proficiently (studies have shown that if a child has not mastered reading by the fourth grade he or she will struggle thereafter). Reading is the one skill that must be mastered. Not just proficiently, but truly mastered. Without it you never even get to base camp. — Obituaries — Police It’s all up in the air for Ashland’s novel ‘Nutcracker’ “Wassail!” a celebration of holiday music, will be presented by the Southern Oregon University Concert and Chamber choirs on Sunday at 3 p.m. in the SOU Music Recital Hall.

Ashland artist trades cold steel for warmer copper Deborah DeLaunay’s current artistic work couldn’t be much more different than it is from her work of 20 years ago when she was as an interior designer for a large, architectural firm. Except for the metal. But then it was cool, stainless steel fixtures, a popular choice in corporate offices, and today it’s warm, copper wires sculpted into works of whimsy.
