"Love, Lust and Chocolate Cake" Written by Darlene Ensor, Diane Nichols, Cathy Noah and Cynthia Rogan Directed by Various   "Love, Lust, and Chocolate Cake" is an ambitious comedic undertaking by a new theater company on the block. Billing themselves as Fourfun Productions, they are a contagiously enthusiastic group, made up of Darlene Ensor, Diane Nichols, Cathy Noah and Cynthia Rogan, under-girded by a troupe of rambunctious community thespians too numerous to mention here. The production

Three years, almost to the day, after the release of “The LEGO Movie,” here comes “The LEGO Batman Movie,” unleashed upon a not-so-unsuspecting public this time. The first film was a riotous romp through an insanely told story, peopled only by LEGO figures, about an Everyman who saves the world. The sight gags were endless, the degree of silliness was appreciated more by adults, who were picking up all the pop culture references, kids loved it for what it looked and m

After wading into the morass of Uber and Lyft vehicle-for-hire rides, the Ashland City Council found the issues so complex Tuesday it sent it back to the city Transportation Commission, which has yet to make a recommendation. Assistant City Attorney Katrina Brown said ride-hailing would go well astray of restrictions of present city laws requiring background checks, vehicle inspections, driver permits and access for wheelchairs and service dogs. Uber is urging the city to adopt a code like Medfo

Jewish emigrants fleeing anti-Semitic violence in Russia established the New Odessa farming colony in 1883 near present-day Glendale, Oregon. They were sent to Oregon by a Ukrainian emigration organization called Am Olan that encouraged Jews to abandon business-oriented lifestyles and resettle as agriculturalists in Palestine or the United States. The idea was to change Jewish stereotypes by returning to agricultural traditions documented in the Torah. The first group from Am Olan, which transla

Golden is prepared To distinguish between pre-packaged, unprepared candidates and those who are knowledgeable enough to deserve being elected, it’s best to see the people up close and watch them respond to challenging questions. I recently had such an opportunity at a forum for Democratic State Senate candidates. A leading candidate to the Democratic nomination, Athena Goldberg, revealed herself as unprepared to represent us in Salem. Although she is sympathetic and animated, she spoke al

More flag flap Only in Ashland would we be expressing about the size of a bank’s American flag. Are you telling me that “Trevis Caplinger” spent time driving around to three different Premier West Banks to check out the size of their flags? You know that, the location of Ashland’s new Premier West Bank came with a flag pole? Remember McDonalds? It had a flag flying. So what if Premier West Bank chose to buy/fly a larger flag than McDonalds? Gayle Vezie Appreciation for me

Taking back a hijacked nation It seems to me like everyone on the planet is on Flight 93 now. We’re all passengers on a plane that’s been hijacked by two factions, one led by George Bush and the other by assorted jihads. It’s a double hijacking in a way since the Bush faction has hijacked Christianity and the jihads have hijacked Islam to justify the violence. The hijackers shoot and hack away at each other but there’s lots of “collateral damage” among the oth

A ‘solution’ for immigration America is under siege, being attacked in what some have called an “alien invasion.” I am speaking, of course, about illegal immigration. While there are those who would argue that the United States of America is a country created by immigrants, the great political commentator Stephen Colbert perhaps put it best: “It’s built now.” Basically, we’ve met our quota, and henceforth, everyone who is here already is American a

Response to Bin Laden cartoon The editorial page cartoon in the Tidings, July 3, links Osama bin Laden and the New York Times, showing a vulture faced Osama wearing a symbolic “I love,” heart shaped shoulder patch labeled New York Times. Of course, more to the point would have been to suggest with a similar patch the mutual benefits that President George Bush and Osama have derived from their relationship,not referringto bygone days when they collaborated in the effort to drive the S

Mt. A agreement must be made During some three years of public examination of the Mount Ashland Association’s (MAA)proposed ski area expansion, along with the Forest Service’s (FS) eventual “Final Environmental Impact Statement” (FEIS), there was much input from Ashlanders, and other users of the ski area. Twenty-six Ashlanders immediately appealed this FEIS to the Regional Forester, Linda Goodman. These appeals met with the most shoddy, irresponsible review I have ever s

Tree responses hateful My last class in journalism was about 50 years ago. But I agreed to write this letter for my blind friend Amie Kaye, who resides in her home on B St here in Ashland, because of the hateful manner in which some Ashland residents are treating her. During the wet snowstorm, she had a large tree in her back yard fall over and damage her roof and power lines. Prior to this event the large tree in front of her residence dropped a huge branch into the street. This left the rest o

Every year, my dad sends a check in the mail so that I can buy my kids and me something nice for Christmas. He’s usually pretty generous, so it’s always exciting when we get his card in the mail. This year has been extremely difficult for our little family, and I needed most of my dad’s gift money to get caught up on bills. I’ve been a little down about not being able to do a lot for the kids and hadn’t even gone out yet to shop for them yet. Sunday morning, I

A sleeping dog Please hear another plea to replace columnist Michael Barone, unless of course his presence is intended to discredit doctrinaire conservatism. Surely there are cost-effective conservative alternatives offering both relevance and intelligence. Barone seems to see himself as a sleeping dog, with license to lie.

Repairs begin next week on two Interstate 5 bridges that span Crowson Road south of Ashland. The work requires reducing I-5 traffic to a single lane in each direction. The $2.5 million rehabilitation project will occur during daylight hours. The work requires a traffic crossover, allowing prime contractor Carter and Company to close one bridge while working on the other. The contractor will set signs, build crossovers and eventually pour new concrete decks on the twin bridges located near the Si
