The Oregon Department of Agriculture will resume issuing licenses for hemp growers in late February just as the industry is veering away from industrial uses and toward the more lucrative market of medical marijuana products. Hemp is a hybrid cousin of marijuana but with low levels of THC, the chemical that produces the high. It has been used over the centuries for fiber, clothing, food, oil and other industrial purposes.

A book about an English language correspondence course? Interesting? Well, yes — if you're a sucker for those quizzes that go around the Internet (What country consumes more turkey per capita, Israel or Mexico?) or if you've ever felt uncomfortable about whether to say who or whom. But Ed Battistella's book "Do You Make These Mistakes In English?" is also about the birth of the advertising business, trends in education and the American impulse toward self-improvement that spurred sales of

The most beautiful country in the west is right here in southern Oregon and northern California.  If you are willing to drive two or three hours from Ashland, you can see phenomenal extremes in nature — the tallest trees in the world are redwoods found on the drenching wet California Coast, while the east side of the Cascades are reminiscent of the southwest desert. There is little bit of everything for a nature lover’s palate.  If you only have one day to hike and witnes

Being a woodworker is like being a chef, according to local woodworker Willie Wolf. "It's about creativity. All the basic ingredients are the same. It's about how you put them together and present them that's unique," he said. Wolf is hard at work in his spacious woodworking studio on Dead Indian Memorial Road outside Ashland. Set off from the twisting, winding road among autumn leaves drifting down from oaks, his studio is filled with tools, wood and in-progress pieces bound for the Siskiyou Wo

Essential Wellness is like no other shop you’ve (probably) ever seen. Opened a month ago on East Main Street by Bloomsbury Books, where The Hemporium used to be, it offers everything — food, drinks, supplements, cookies, books — that could possibly contain essential oils. It even has a room full of massage tables where you can lay down, cover the upper half of your body with a tent-like "AromaDome" and get a wide choice of essential oils sprayed over you so you breathe them

Support Golden We are fortunate to have candidate forums for our upcoming elections. Thursday’s panel of four candidates for DeBoer’s District 3 Senate seat was the perfect opportunity to learn how effective the candidates are. Sometimes voters get confusing or misleading information in voters’ pamphlets, and this is the best way to verify for ourselves. I was puzzled by the Sierra Club endorsement of one candidate when I knew Jeff Golden was the most experienced and effecti

Postcards are typically from a recent vacation from around the world. The students then research the postcard information and write a story about it. Finally, near the e

At it again More horror! More terror! The state of Israel is at it again, punishing a people for their resistance to being obliterated. When will the world deny Israel the right to commit genocide — the death of a people whose land the religious state of Israel calls its own? Since the U.S. supports Israel in its crimes against humanity, we must as Americans resist. We must all support the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) in a boycott against the purchasing of Israeli products, stocks, etc.,
