On Jan. 8, the Planning Commission held a meeting to receive comments from the public as part of the approval process for the first cottage housing project submitted under the new ordinance. Most of those in attendance expressed conceptual approval of the project, and all were respectful and considerate. The discussion was about the details: density, parking,

When Harrison Romney was a freshman trying to work his way onto Ashland High School’s ski-racing team three years ago, he assured the coaches he could handle the steep slopes of Mt. Ashland. He fibbed. “I thought I was better than what I was,” Romney recalls. “I said I could ski blue diamonds, whatever those are.” Blue triangles are slope ratings for intermediate skiers, while black diamonds are for experts. Blue diamonds are nothing, much like Romney’s skiing

Three of the biggest full moons of the year will be high and bright in Southern Oregon’s skies on Jan. 20, Feb. 19 and March 21. Known as “supermoons,” these full moons appear larger in the sky because they occur while the moon is closest to the earth in its orbital cycle while the moons are full, or at perigee. The Jan. 20 supermoon will also undergo a total lunar eclipse, which is popularly called a Blood Moon. Because this is a January full moon, it is also known as Wolf Moo

Focusing on the benefit This is a time for a paradigm shift in our thinking about the future of Lithia Park.

Wonderful conifer specimens, historic design, great picnic areas, stretches of clean, green lawns, a Japanese style garden, beautiful roses and annual flower gardens. It sparkled and tourists and locals reveled in its beauty. Today some of the sparkle is gone and gardens lost,

Tent encampments packed with homeless people have become common, and even those with good middle-income jobs, such as teachers and nurses, have been priced out of the cities where the
