Imagine a Shakespeare story unfolding without words. Romeo and Juliet conveying their emotions solely through movement as they realize the depth of their love for each other. The intrigue caused by misunderstandings and the clash of intentions with diverse motives, as well as the Montague and Capulet families reconciling, all expressed through carefully choreographed movement. The performers act, yes. But they go beyond pantomime. They convey their story through the classic techniques of ballet.

One should never feel sorry for anyone working in President Trump’s White House. They volunteered for this dreadful and chaotic administration. But it’s hard to envy those tasked with writing drafts of his State of the Union address. Trump is an incumbent who behaves as if he is in the opposition. He relishes bemoaning the terrible things happening to the country on his watch — after two years of unified Republican government. At the same time, it’s hard to recall a presi

A quote from former President Richard Nixon says, “Solutions are not the answer.” That is pretty funny, although he might not have meant it that way. But if you’re looking for some ways to prepare and create solutions as you age, I have some ideas for you. Whether you have a life partner, a spouse, adult children, or are mostly on your own, there are steps to take to avoid the crush of responding in a crisis. Discussing key financial matters is crucial. When a couple’s pa

Ashland officials spent a good chunk of Monday's City Council meeting assuaging concerns about a proposal to pipe a section of the Talent Irrigation Ditch canal in town. The seven who spoke before the council echoed concerns raised in a community meeting of 100 people Thursday in which homeowners questioned the cost and overall efficiency of the project, potential diminishing of property values and aesthetics, and impact on vegetation and wildlife. City Conservation Analyst Julie Smitherman said

Ashland citizens alert On Tuesday night, the City Council will consider options to spend between $12 million and $19 million on three options to replace City Hall. Not being considered is a $1.4 million estimate to make the current City Hall building seismically safe, an option offered in a consulting study done for the city in 2016. Apparently, only a fancy new mega-complex will do. But, where will the money come from? One reasonable possibility is floating a bond. Then, we citizens would at le

About 62 million gallons of water, or 23 percent, is lost per irrigation season from the Ashland Canal due to evaporation and seepage. That’s enough water to supply the entire city of Ashland for about a month and a half during winter, or enough to supply an additional 800 properties irrigation, city Conservation Analyst Julie Smitherman said at a community meeting Thursday evening in a meeting room at Southern Oregon University. City staff and partners have recommended the city pipe a two

How many simple moments of life today have brought a smile to your face — or your heart? Sixty-eight years of life have convinced me that my happiness does not come from the anticipated vacation, a promotion at work or a new possession. Yes, those times are wonderful. I am not minimizing their importance. But what about the other 95 percent of the year? To put it bluntly, what about all those minutes of our lives ticking by, the moment-by-moment-by-moment of daily life when nothing “

If there was a time to pay close attention to what is taking place in our democracy, that time would be now. Two weeks ago, in this space, I suggested that Trump thrived on chaos and disruption. Sitting with Chuck Shumer and Nancy Pelosi, he eagerly embraced a government shutdown unless they agreed to his demand of $5.7 billion for a wall on the southern border. A government shutdown is the very essence of his mayhem madness. It’s where he lives, hence, for 35 days more than 800,000 federa

A disturbing piece of Southern Oregon history continues to haunt Tunnel 13, a railroad tunnel near the Mount Ashland exit off Interstate 5. Though it's private property owned by the railroad, it often draws adventurous teenagers and train buffs because of its notoriety as the site of the West's last great train robbery. On Oct. 11, 1923, three brothers — 23-year-old twins Ray and Roy D'Autremont and their teenage brother, Hugh — attempted to rob the Gold Special train after hearing r
