Orville Hector | Ashland Daily Tidings March 2 , 2006 * updated by 5 p.m. daily Brown: Viewers vote with remotes Television news is often vilified in Ashland, and Wednesday night’s annual First Amendment Forum at SOU was no exception. This year’s theme was “Is television news fulfilling its promise?” Former CNN news Anchor Aaron Brown, the keynote speaker of the event, told the audience of approximately 250 not to blame those doing the broadcasting, because they are only giving their viewers what they are asking for. See the front page of the printed version of today's Tidings Brown not jumping back in On 9/11, a billion and a half people around the world watched Aaron Brown report on the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Now, the former prime time CNN anchor, who was in Ashland on Wednesday, refers to himself as “an unemployed anchorman.” Nearing capacity, Y begins satellite care at Bellview Students to enjoy same staff support in new location Fashion on display for good cause Families with severely ill children assisted Oh Behave and Fashion to the Rescue present “The Tale of Thorns and Roses” at the Ashland Armory on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. A luminous ‘Winter’s Tale opens the OSF 2006 season Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale” is, to say the least, a problematic play. The first half is a tragedy, filled with unwarranted rage and piteous injustice. The second half, the calm after the storm, is suffused with warmth, broad humor and gentle love. The quandary for a director is how to meld these two disparate stories into a satisfying production.

Web Letters — EDITORIAL Strange sage with Peace Corps begs explanation If there is a better way to prove those completely distrustful of the present administration correct, it is hard to fathom right now. Because the Peace Corps’ decision to rescind an offer to send Ashland’s Derek Volkart to Morocco smacks, on the surface anyway, of every allegation of autocratic dictatorial control made by folks since the stolen election of 2000. — OPINION PAGE POLICY COLUMNIST Updated Tuesdays: From the Right Side Mike Green American Values If you asked one hundred people what American values are, it is likely you will receive at least that many different answers. So, it stands to reason that we the people, and our leaders, are a bit slipshod and inconsistent when it comes to incorporating American values into our daily decisions. Take, for example, the 5 million American taxpayer dollars that some unknown and unnamed appointed authority in our government offered to a coalition of Syrian political groups that call themselves the Damascus Declaration. Is it within the scope of American values to allow our government leaders the option to engage in acts of capricious bribery anywhere in the world they desire for any reason they deem legitimate? It certainly appears that way. CASE IN POINT (OPED) Updated Mondays: — Case In Point : A hunt involves more than this There’s no shortage of atavistic images of our national leaders walking through an open field with a shotgun resting over one arm, regaled in cammies, day-glo vest, hat, a game bag filled with small quail, dogs circling excitedly. John Kerry struck this pose just prior to the ’04 election, a contrived bit of public relations that gave proof to his repeated campaign statement that he was an avid hunter and stood shoulder to shoulder with those whose closets and garages were filled with all the necessary gear to knock bird, squirrel, varmint, or deer into next week. Of late, hunting has been much in the news, ever since our vice president, when aiming for a quail the size of a nerf ball, downed a fellow hunter instead. Front pages and electronic screens showed the veep standing in short grass, outfitted to the nines, an over/under shotgun raised, trained on, we imagine, a flushed bird that was hell bent on beating a retreat. The vice president has said, on numerous occasions, that he is an avid hunter (avid being his word choice), and has hunted in countless states, the pursuit of game birds being something that gives him one heck of a good feeling. — Obituaries — Ashland Police & Fire click here to see print version Opening night at OSF The Oregon Shakespeare Festival always strives to do a balanced season — drama, comedy, classics and contemporary — but this season, 2006, promises to be a spectacularly successful one.

LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT Movies: Now playing Visiting poet may leave you with desire to ‘shift ’ In “A Letter From Naomi Shihab Nye To Any Would-be Terrorist” the poet asks, “Have you noticed how many roads there are? Sure you have. You must check out maps and highways and small alternate routes just like anyone else. There is no way everyone on earth could travel on the same road, or believe in exactly the same religion. It would be too crowded, it would be dumb. I don’t believe you want us all to be Muslims.” She is a poet obsessed by roads.
