Valerie Rachelle and her husband, Rick Robinson, have owned the Oregon Cabaret Theatre for just four years now. In addition to their considerable responsibilities at OCT, they each freelance, directing productions at other theaters throughout the United States. One afternoon, I visited with Rachelle in the restaurant area of the theater. EH: When you launch a new production, what is your process?

Hounds deployed by federal Wildlife Services agents reached the area three hours later and pic

An Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife official this morning defended his agency's actions in killing a cougar that could have fatally attacked a woman in late August near Mount Hood. Brian Wolfer, ODFW watershed manager, held a press conference this morning, which was live-streamed on Facebook. Asked how he would respond to social media criticism after agency hunters killed a cougar Friday without knowing for certain it was the offending animal, he said , " ... my number one priority has to

Democracy at risk The president and his supporters should be worried; we are on to them. If this president didn’t want negative coverage, he should tout his “wins,” like the economy, unemployment and the job numbers — even though he claimed, with no evidence (as usual), that the same great numbers under Obama weren’t real. Instead, he tweets “no collusion” and his PR lawyer ridiculously claims “truth isn’t truth.” He continues to drive wedges between us: “Mexicans are rapists,” “NFL players hate

Missing the real story While we are besieged every day with political gossip and misinformation on Twitter and social media, we are missing much of the most vital threats to our future. This administration, by ignoring climate change and coddling the extractive industries, is setting about diminishing our most precious assets. Our beautiful, diverse BLM conifer forests have been recovering from over a century of mistreatment, and now, under new management rules, the BLM proposes to cut down “85

A publicly accessible feed from security cameras, restoration of a nationally recognized historic landmark in town and a $45,000 contract between the school district and the city were just some of the items discussed at Monday night’s Ashland Parks & Recreation Commission (APRC) meeting. The skate park in Ashland is in an off-the-beaten track part of town, yet not far from downtown. It attracts a crowd with behavior that can be less than satisfactory for some residents, including occasional vand

Playwright Lynne Kaufman has authored 20 plays since her first play, “Couch,” a romantic comedy about Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Jung’s marriage, premiered in 1984 at San Francisco’s Magic Theatre. We visited in College Hall at the University of London. EH: What is your writing process?

With wine, age is a critical element. No matter how accomplished the winemaker or exceptional the vineyard, some things can be accomplished only by time. Newly planted vines need five or six years to yield fruit that will result in wine with mature varietal character. Then there’s the aging of wine in barrel and in bottle before it is released, and cellaring time required by some vintages to achieve their full potential. In a “new” wine region only recently heralded by the national wine press, f

Some call the city of Ashland a bubble where pedestrians have so much trust in their neighbors they sometimes walk out in front of traffic and where deer feel so safe from predators not even car horns can scare them to move out of the road. But just because residents share a communal sense of security, it doesn’t mean that they’re immune to one of the area’s greatest dangers: wildfire. Ashland citizens should always — always — be at level one (“be ready”) of the three-stage evacuation scale beca

In 1960, I took the oath of office given to all U.S. military officers: “… to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Given my naval family history and national security expertise, my 1960 oath has been a piece of my soul ever since. Not until back-to-back assignments to the Intelligence Division, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic (SACLANT), and, subsequently, the Naval War College faculty, did I fully appreciate the solemnity of this oath.

With the ongoing waves of smoke and never-ending heat, we all need a breath of fresh air. It won’t be a huge change, but with cooler temperatures and a slight ease in air quality expected later this week, that small breath might be coming, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Charles Smith. “Right now, the air is just poor and really unhealthy outside,” Smith said. “But we’re seeing a slight improvement later on in the week, so cross your fingers.” Early in the week, however, the
