Singers, songwriters and guitarists Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have a legacy of recordings and international tours to their credit — and show no signs of slowing down. The Grammy Award-winning folk-rock duo met in elementary school and began performing together while attending high school in Decatur, Georgia, part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Ray and Saliers began calling themselves Indigo Girls while at Emory University, performing at The Dugout, a bar in Emory Village. They independently r

When a concept works in one location, why not open a second? That may be the reasoning behind the recently opened ReMix coffee bar at 1602 Ashland St. in Ashland. The new cafe takes the high-end pastries, espresso and alcohol from the original Mix Bakeshop in downtown Ashland and remixes it with a focus on the coffee, rather than the desserts. This totals four restaurants for ReMix owner Jamie North, who also owns Amuse and Flip, in addition to Mix. Enter the glass doors of ReMix on a warm June

After nearly 30 years as owners and operators of Mihama Teriyaki Grill, Denny and Liz Takeda are hanging up their aprons for the last time today. They sold the business and are retiring. “It was time. I enjoyed it but it’s getting harder as I get older,” said Denny, 68. To celebrate their long run and to thank the community for its support, they are donating proceeds from all sales (except alcohol) today to three local charities: Friends of the Animal Shelter, the general scholarship fund at Sou

Most parts of the city budget are tracking well with expectations as the city nears the July 1 mid-way point in the current two-year budget cycle, city Administrative Services Director Mark Welch told the City Council at its study session Monday. Exceptions have to do with the city’s self-insurance for health benefits for employees, which led to the city entering a larger group, and decisions to make land purchases, though much and perhaps all of that expense may be covered by selling other prop

I have good news and bad news. Bad news first. Climate change is caused predominantly — if not exclusively — by human activity. Alas, I’m human, so my bad. At least in part. The good news? We humans can do something about it. We can shrink our personal carbon footprints, and if we all do it then the collective difference will be significant. But how do we measure our carbon footprint? And how do we know if we are shrinking it? On one level, it’s easy. Most of us make our direct contributions to

Painters, videographers, photographers and visual artists of all varieties now showcase their work at the Art Salon at the Ashland Public Library on the last Sundays of the month. At the library’s recently inaugurated monthly Art Salon, the cool, comfortable space of the Gresham Room is transformed into a visual gallery of creativity. The Art Salon at the library began in January, and has since featured an unconventional array of artists thanks to Esther Mortensen’s vision for the project. The A

The city of Ashland has hired Kelly Madding, the number-two manager with the city of Medford, as its new city administrator. Madding prevailed in a field that included two experienced city executives, Assistant to the City Administrator Adam Hanks and Public Works Director Paula Brown. “She got the job because she seemed to have the combination of experience and style of interactive management and working well with city employees and residents,” said Mayor John Stromberg, who, after much consult

Gerrymandering — drawing legislative districts for political advantage — is nearly as old as the republic, but the U.S. Supreme Court has never ruled on it except in regard to minorities’ voting rights. It ducked the issue again this week, declining to rule in a pair of cases for technical reasons. But states and voters have an urgent need for guidance before the 2020 Census triggers a wave of redistricting. The urgency arises because gerrymandering has been turbocharged by technology and partis

In my younger days I just didn’t understand why it was problematic to leave dog poop in the grass or dirt. After all, I figured it was “organic” and would decompose and make a positive contribution to soil quality. Ha! I sure got that wrong! In my optimism and ignorance I thought the real issue was about being considerate of others to avoid stepping in it. Then, I learned about the downstream impacts when “stuff” other than rain (that has fallen from the sky) ends up in our storm drains, creeks,

In a congenial but slightly stressful meet-and-greet Wednesday, the public — mostly insiders with city government — got to rub elbows with the five candidates to become Ashland’s next city administrator. One of the five will probably be named to the job Friday. It was an unusual situation, where three of the candidates had worked for the city and two — Public Works Director Paula Brown and Interim City Administrator Adam Hanks — have long resumes here and are a known quantity to all.

Proposals to be unveiled to the public tonight would extend the Bear Creek Greenway in Ashland from the dog park to North Mountain Park. A three-phase approach is proposed: An interim route would utilize some existing roadways to link the sites. A short-term route would use roadways but also include bridges over the waterway. A permanent route would run mostly creekside. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at North Mountain Park Nature Center, 620 N. Mountain Ave. “Feasibility analysis has been perform

Peter Alzado (Oregon Stage Works' former Artistic Director) is engaged in the creation of a new theater called the NEXT STAGE Repertory Company. One afternoon, we met at Medford's Craterian Theater, where Alzado is currently in rehearsal for Lanford Wilson's Pulitzer prize-winning play, "Talley's Folly." We then settled down with tea at nearby Grilla Bites. EH: What makes a good director? PA: I think great directors want an ordered world. They need to be able to have a real feeling for space, an

Accessory Residential Units (ARU) will be exempted from going through the often arduous planning application process if they are under 500 square feet and are within or attached to a single-family residence, thanks to a unanimous vote by the Ashland City Council Tuesday. The council took the action to encourage home owners to create more rentals in a rental-lean local economy and to address the fact that Ashland has an abundance of single renters or very small families. The change also allows As

Eastern newspapers in the 1860s and ‘70s often contained letters from Westerners touting the virtues of their states. One such letter by Dr. M.P. Sawtelle, published on May 6, 1872, in the New York Daily Tribune, extolled Oregon’s rich farmlands, moderate climate and prosperous citizens. What was unusual was Dr. Sawtelle’s suggestion that single women go to Oregon. She pointed out the state’s favorable property and business ownership laws, and that women might have the right to vote. Women could

Former colleagues of Ashland Community Development Director John Fregonese were stunned to hear of his sudden, unexpected death from cancer over the weekend in Portland, where he had lived since leaving Ashland in 1992. He leaves behind a vision of what cities can be, and many features of Ashland that appeal to residents today are the result of his work in the 1980s. A newspaper profile of Fregonese written as he was preparing to take a job with Metro, the Portland three-county governmental agen
