While there’s a temptation to hum the theme from “Sesame Street,” “Avenue Q” is not the educational children’s television show. Billed as an uproarious puppet musical, “Avenue Q” juxtaposes the nostalgia of make-believe children’s television shows with the complexities of adulthood, says Galloway Stevens, the show’s director and choreographer. “ ‘Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood’ and ‘Sesame Street’ taught us as children how to handle ourselves in the world,” Stevens says. “We were entertained as we wer

If you’re one of the 68 percent of U.S. households, or about 85 million families, who own a pet, you’ll agree that it’s often very difficult to see them age, become infirm and die. Just like us, they greatly benefit from loving support at the end of their lives. If you’ve never considered how to apply a continuum of care or a “hospice” approach to your animal friend’s end of life, meet Paula Backus, DMV. ( [email protected] ; 541-625-9606). She serves all of the Rogue Valley and beyond. In

The more I ponder the placeholder in the Oval Office, the more I feel like an adult child who has learned her father is actually an adulterer and a criminal. I was once proud to be an American, despite an awareness of our tainted history; I still recognized our country’s unique position in the world: providing help when needed, offering global leadership, welcoming those from other countries — people who over time became as American as any of us. Although I believed somewhat in our “exceptionali

ASHLAND — Eric Hansen considers True South Solar's half-mile current move to the Railroad District to be a major milestone. The solar installation company's general manager and co-founder remembers what it was like the last time his business occupied new quarters five years ago. The combination office and warehouse on Hersey Street was nothing like the new digs — the paint was peeling, ceilings were sagging and pipes burst after a cold snap. "It felt crowded and gnarly, but it had bones," Hansen

FOTAS entry inspiring I’m awe-inspired by the Friends of The Animal Shelter for their untraditional Fourth of July parade inclusion. They were brilliant in allowing the dogs to not walk on asphalt in the parade. They deserve strong praise for being so current with latest research and concerned enough to pull the canines from the parade when this new wisdom surfaced. Why, you ask? When the air temperature is 77 degrees, the asphalt is at 125 degrees. Ouch! And skin destruction can occur in 60 sec

The Bad Film Society of Ashland will show “The Lost Empire” at 6 p.m. Sunday, July 22, in The Ashland Elks’ “dungeon.” The film was the first feature-length production by incredibly prolific B-grade exploitation filmmaker Jim Wynorski, who started out working for Roger Corman, and began his directing career with this pulpy epic that he wrote, produced and directed. The movie relays the tale of Angel, a blonde supercop with two hot cohorts who go undercover to the island of Dr. Sin to to find out

Residents in the smoky shadow of the Klamathon fire have been living with a combination of uncertainty and dread ever since the blaze took off Thursday in northern California and began its march north toward the Oregon border. “It was a nightmare Thursday and Friday,” said Renee Mollan-Masters, who lives on Old Highway 99, just below Callahan’s Restaurant. “We were so scared. Ashes, leaves, chunks of wood on fire were all coming down like rain “It’s so much better now, but I put a plan in my hea

Finding the right place As I was marching in the Fourth of July parade as part of a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer group, looking at the folks from Ashland and many other places, all seated or standing in their selected places, I admired how so many people could be together and supporting each other in their own way, supporting a diversity of “ways” demonstrated in the parade. It was a celebration of independence in many ways. People found their right spots held by a tattered ground cloth or spi

To many cheers and whistles, fire bosses Monday evening told a community meeting of some 500 Ashland people at the Ashland Hills Hotel that the once-raging Klamathon Fire is now 40 percent contained — and that the once-menaced Colestin Valley has been downgraded from “mandatory evacuation” to the “get ready” level. Mount Ashland, up the road several miles from Colestin, was cut from level two to level one, as was the Callahan’s Restaurant area and Hilt, California, signifying the turning of a bi

Firefighters battling the 6-day-old Klamathon fire can expect to get a slight break today from the stiff winds that have dogged ground attacks and funneled smoke over the Siskiyou Summit and into the Rogue Valley. On the morning after some communities near the fire’s south flanks were allowed back to their homes, the National Weather Service forecast calls for wind gusts to drop from 30 mph Monday to 5 mph today and even lighter winds Wednesday, despite fire-area temperatures reaching as high as

Residents of the Greensprings fancy that life moves pretty slow in this mountain community of about 500 people some 2,000 vertical feet above, and 16 miles southeast of Ashland. But like in all of Southern Oregon, life "up the Greensprings," as the locals like to call it, is changing. A 30-minute drive from Ashland, the closest inc
