Not about the footprint While the recent Tidings editorial questioning the city’s Imperatrice solar farm project is welcomed, it suffers from a few errors. I want to remedy one of them here, because the public really needs to understand how solar arrays in Ashland indeed represent greenhouse gas reduction. The Tidings suggested that an Ashland solar facility producing renewable energy would merely replace that much BPA clean, renewable hydropower energy delivered here, and therefore not reduce A

In a climate-based debate Monday for legislative candidates, Democratic Senate nominee Jeff Golden and Rep. Pam Marsh, D-Ashland, said the long-debated Clean Energy Jobs bill will be passed next year by Democratic majorities. The bill would cap emissions from the state’s largest polluters and require them to pay for every ton that surpasses that cap. But Jessica Gomez, Golden’s Republican opponent, said the bill is too complex for the state to administer, it’s unclear how the state would invest

What looks like a charming mythical trilogy about her three cats is really a debate about the big existential questions of life, says Ashland author Tarra Light — such as: Are we are victims of pre-destined forces? Or are we powerful and creative beings who trounce negativity and shape life as we wish? We, of course, as it turns out, are those powerful beings and it’s vital we start using those powers — especially now as we are at “a pivotal point … facing a dangerous course ahead” and must over

Citing “ significant financial losses ” from this summer’s wildfire smoke, Oregon Shakespeare Festival said Wednesday it had laid off 16 employees and reduced hours for another. None were from the acting company and none from unions, which include both actors and stagehands and other behind-the-scenes workers, the festival said. That would be about 12 percent of the administrative employees, which number about 125, according to Wikipedia , which says about 450 are employed by OSF overall. OSF de

The Oregon Constitution requires a three-fifths vote of both houses of the Legislature to increase taxes. Ballot Measure 104 would apply that requirement to any measure to reduce tax exemptions or credits or to enact fees, such as for fishing licenses. It’s a bad idea. After voters approved the 60 percent supermajority requirement to enact “bills for raising revenue” in 1996, lawyers for the Legislature interpreted it to include measures modifying tax credits or exemptions. But the Oregon Suprem

The rise of Donald Trump was shocking, but it was not a one-off. The forces that brought him to power have parallels across democracies as fears about immigration, inward-looking nationalism and discontent over economic globalization push an ever-larger share of voters to the far right. For American progressives, it is especially disturbing that social democracy, one of the most humane political movements of the last century, is losing ground almost everywhere. What can we learn from its decline

Where better to reside than the city of Ashland, if one is a professional actor who loves communing with nature?

Deborah and I were in London on July 7, 2005, when four bombs exploded in the city’s public transport system, three in subways and one on a bus, killing 52 people and injuring several hundred. One went off in the stretch between Paddington and Edgeware Road stations 30 minutes before we tried to board a train at Paddington, unaware of what had just happened. Then-Prime Minister Tony Blair hurried back from a G8 Summit in Gleneagles, Scotland. When he addressed the media that afternoon, he was as
