No half steps Regarding the reporting on the proposed Japanese Garden redesign in Lithia Park. First off, I love the park’s trees. Some of my earliest childhood memories involve playing in those magical groves. However, let us remember that the conifers in question are ornamental second-growth plantings, less than 100 years old, younger than more and more grandparents these days! Conifers cast a wide shadow, and as the two conifers proposed for removal have grown, the existing Japanese-esq

WASHINGTON — This must be the last shutdown, ever. No politicians should be able to wreck government and inflict suffering on its employees as a form of brute force to get their way. Any deal to end this nonsense must therefore include a measure akin to the no-more-shutdowns proposal from Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., disarming those who so disrespect government that they’re willing to throw the country into chaos. It also means that continuing to resist President Trump’s intransige

“Once I had understood the science, I knew I had a responsibility to explain it to other people.” Back in the late 1980s, biology professor, Alan Journet, was teaching undergrads about biomes (integrated ecosystems that occur in various natural settings) at Southeast Missouri State University. He began hearing rumors regarding global warming, and realized that if these were indeed correct, the planet would be experiencing such serious shifts in temperature and annual rainfall that no

Emily Dendinger knows that her new play, “#GodHatesYou,” will ask more questions than it answers. And, that’s alright, she says. She would rather audiences script their own answers. Her goal is to create conversation about spirituality, personal moral values and the ethics of the world. “#GodHatesYou” follows the transformation of Laurel, a young woman at the center of a church that is vicious in its attempts to save sinners. When she begins posting the church&rsquo

“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’ ’’ Ronald Reagan’s 1986 statement still invokes chuckles on the right and some nostalgia for the general good nature of his gibes. But the sentiment behind it remains one of the most destructive forces in our politics. If you bemoan the shutdown of so many federal agencies and regularly ask yourself why our two parties seem to be at sword&r

Decrease the density Regarding your recent editorial “Don’t fight progress”: The neighbors in the Laurel Street / Mountain View Drive area are not against a cottage project. Most of us disagree with the proposed density of 12 units — which is three times the density allowed by the surrounding zoning. The state of Oregon did a 2016 (cottage) housing study which states densities should be limited to two times that of the underlying zoning. I wouldn’t characterize this

If you live anywhere near, and/or enjoy walks along, the Ashland TID canal, please look into the facts of the proposed pipe project and tell our City Council not to approve the next phase of funding! When I first learned the city of Ashland was looking into removing the 2-mile stretch of TID canal within city limits and replacing it with a pipe, I was struck by the faulty reasoning behind the project and amazed that it was estimated to cost Ashland taxpayers a minimum of $2.5 million.
