The city held its informational meeting with downtown consultants Crandall Arambula on Thursday. The Plaza is “underperforming” they said, kicking one of Ashland’s sacred cows right in the teeth. — OPINION PAGE POLICY COLUMNIST Updated Tuesdays: From the Right Side Mike Green Liars, cheats and thieves … oh my! Welcome to another episode in the continuing saga of “Iraq, the sequel,” otherwise known as “Why is the CIA running Iraq?” In this week’s focus behind the scenes on the lead actors in the series, “Iraq, the sequel,” we turn our attention to yet another member of “The Family.” He is the cousin of Deputy Prime Minister (and new oil king) Ahmed Chalabi. He is also related to Chalabi’s nephew, Ali Allawi, who is the Minister of Finance. This man was Iraq’s Interim Prime Minister before we turned that position over to another long-term CIA-funded individual early last year. Before I introduce this gentleman (for whom I use the term loosely), I would like to remind the audience that there are numerous reviews of “Iraq, the sequel” around the nation. On Jan. 23, Oprah Winfrey conducted her own analysis of the theatrics we’re witnessing in Iraq. Unfortunately, her panel was replete with actors who were or are currently involved in a variety of the scenes that have been produced for our entertainment and misdirection. Both former president Clinton and his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton , joined others such as media mogul Ted Turner and Queen Rania of Jordan for a fun-filled afternoon of “who can give the best sound bite.” I applaud Oprah for her focus on Iraq, but unfortunately the panel she assembled was tantamount to rounding up stray actors from behind the curtain of “Iraq, the sequel” and interviewing them on the roles they played in the original screenplay and stage productions. CASE IN POINT (OPED) Updated Mondays: — CASE IN POINT Hold on to the story of ‘Night’ Much in the news of late has been the brouhaha regarding the memoir, “A Million Little Pieces,” by James Frey, selected last fall by Oprah Winfrey’s book club. It is a graphic and compelling account of Frey's time in a drug and alcohol rehab center. When Frey’s work was recently vetted by an online investigative Web site, it found that some sections of the book were embellished. Winfrey has since defended Frey saying that "the underlying message of redemption in James Frey’s memoir still resonates with me." The key words in Winfrey’s statement are "the underlying message." As if to make her point regarding the synergistic impact of a memoir, Winfrey recently announced that the book club's most recent selection is the memoir, "Night," written by Elie Wiesel, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. It is the account of his experience in the Nazi death camps during WWII. It is a courageous and important choice. There are no obituaries today — POLICE From ‘Dreams’ to reality Performance puts Moeschl on display When Richard Moeschl’s “Arthur’s Dreams” opens at Oregon Stage Works in Ashland on Monday, it will be one more milestone for a play that Moeschl wrote in 2003.

In Review | The Crucible Arthur Miller’s powerful testament, “The Crucible,” written and performed in 1953, is now playing at Oregon Stage Works on A Street. It is a stark enactment of the spiritual battle against the dark forces in the world, particularly as epitomized by the events leading to witch trials in Salem, Mass., in 1692 that resulted in 19 hangings and earned it the dubious distinction of Witch City. Movies | T.V. | Calendar Stories updated by 6 p.m. Thursday ( Back issues available ) Cabaret Theatre kicks off its 20th Anniversary season with “Honky Tonk Laundry,” a new country musical written by Roger Bean, creator of OCT’s 2002 show “Route 66.” Jussara Luz Padilha Jussara Luz Padilha’s new series of original prints, paintings, and collage work will be showing at Village Shoes and Art Gallery in downtown Ashland at 337 E. Main St. through April. LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT Book Review & Movies: Now playing ‘Affluent beggars’ an opportunity to examine ourselves Forgive me, but I’m feeling yanked in a couple of directions by the current discussion / firefight over Jason Pancoast and Elizabeth Johnson — you remember, the “affluent beggars” who walk our streets and whose story has been spread across the country by the Associated Press. And it’s easy to say you feel compassion for the homeless until you meet people like Jason and Elizabeth who’ve been pretty, shall we say, up-front about their situation.
