Have you seen the wondrous decoration on the building at 437 Williamson Way? Since 2011, Rob and Linda Joseph, who now own the building, have been gradually adorning the outside walls with fabulous, colorful designs. Much of the building is used as the Ashland Commons , a hostel that houses student groups and others who seek a less expensive option while visiting Ashland. Rob and Linda used to run the hostel, but sold it over a year ago to Kim McAlear. The rest of the building is a mixture of co

A job with no time off but still no paycheck? That’s been the life lately of Bryant Helgeland, owner of Mountain Provisions on the Ashland Plaza. At first, it was surrounding construction that kept customers away for five months, but then, during the supposed peak retail months, the smoke rolled in. “Basically, tourism ended July 15, with the lightning storms and it went on to the end of September,” says Helgeland. “We rely pretty heavily on tourism for a good portion of the year’s revenue and i

About 46 percent of Ashland households spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing. That means they are “cost-burdened” according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. About 32 percent of homeowners in Ashland are cost burdened and 62 percent of renters are experiencing cost burden, according to Linda Reid, the city’s housing program specialist. An affordable, somewhat easy solution was presented Thursday at an Ashland conference: manufactured homes. Manufactured homes, m

Be forewarned: This is a partisan column. I’m an admirer of Jeff Golden and an active supporter of his candidacy for State Senate District 3. But the column isn’t about why you should share my enthusiasm for him. It’s a reflection on partisanship itself. What’s odd about the race between Golden and his opponent, Jessica Gomez, is that Gomez doesn’t seem to want voters to know her party affiliation. Deborah and I stopped by her booth at Ashland’s Fourth of July celebration. There was no indicatio

Lena Phillips grieved mightily when the news of the death of her oldest child was delivered to her Ashland home on Oct. 1, 1918, 100 years ago Monday, the same day he fell from the French sky, shot down on a reconnaissance mission. Walter Anderson Phillips died just six weeks before an armistice ended World War I on Nov. 11, 1918. The death of her son would give Lena a sorrowful designation, that of a Gold Star Mother. Always the last Sunday in September, this year’s commemoration is Sunday, Sep

By Jessica Bryan “Bring something special with you next week,” she said. “We are going to do an exercise in ‘Sacred Psychometry.’” The teacher of our mediumship class was referring to the metaphysical practice of holding an inanimate object and clairvoyantly “reading,” or “divining,” the energy in it, including the history of events or people associated with the object. This type of clairvoyance is based on the idea that the energy and feelings of people and the events they experienced are impri

An Ashland resident reports she was recently charged by a deer while walking her 3-week-old infant and two Labrador retrievers in their favorite park across from North Mountain Park. Fortunately, the deer stopped short. This isn’t the first time this same deer has charged her, she said. Alex Strouf said this same deer has stalked her on four different occasions, even coming up her driveway. It’s stalked her husband twice, and charged them both on separate occasions. “I just got big and loud, and

Hiking the entire length of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail for five months may be a demanding, super-arduous and life-changing experience, but Ashlander Steve Cossin, finishing up his slide show Thursday at Northwest Nature Shop , offhandedly notes it’s indeed harder than you can imagine but, “It’s extremely addicting. Once you get the bug, one time isn’t enough.” The key to making it, says Cossin, is that you rigorously check out every pack, sleeping bag and tool, finding the ones that weig

This is the second of two columns reflecting on the year 1968 and, more generally, the 1960s. You are invited to send your own reflections on those times to this paper at [email protected]. My experience of the 1960s, beginning when I returned to Louisiana in August 1965 to join the faculty at LSU, was of unremitting struggle on a multitude of fronts. There was the Civil Rights movement, which was a primary motive for returning south after graduate school. But because I got into that move

I feel like I am watching the America I grew up in burn down around my very ears. I am watching chaos replace function, one-line Twitter rants replace informative press briefings and shouting and insults replace reasoned discourse. I attended a recent Holly Near fundraiser for Jamie McLeod Skinner, who is running for Congress against incumbent Greg Walden. The lyrics from one of Near’s songs struck me: “We’re still here, choosing love over fear. When the lines are drawn, we’re still here.” Near

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission was created in 1933, within days after the repeal of Prohibition and, in the ensuing 85 years, records show Ashland has never had more than one modest liquor store. No more. There’s a new liquor store smack dab in the middle of underserved south Ashland, nestled into South Town Market & Deli, relieving what might be called a decades-long “liquor desert” for those living east of Mountain Avenue. There were no parties or marching bands to kick off this (to many

A 39-year-old Ashland man allegedly hit four parked cars while driving intoxicated before crashing his car in a ditch Wednesday, Sept. 19. According to Deputy Police Chief Warren Hensman, police officers responded to a call of a hit and run at the corner of Wightman Street and Iowa Street. The subject, Curtis Bartlett, allegedly sideswiped a vehicle there with his Toyota. While the officers were responding to that call, another call came in with the information that a similar vehicle hit a secon

Take women seriously I attended the vigil in support of Dr. Christine Ford, not with the presumption that Kavanaugh is guilty. Whether he is or not could only be proven after an investigation, something that is now happening. I want women (and men) to have the right to speak up. The secret of sexual abuse, carried in silence out of fear, shame, unjustified guilt, eats away at you. The experience of many who do speak up dissuades others from doing so. Women need to feel that it is safe to speak,
