ASHLAND — Fredrica Lawrence’s mindset when she arrived from New York in 1971 was simple: get some experience working in Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s costume shop and parlay the experience into a high-end fashion design job back home. Much to her longtime customers’ satisfaction, she never returned to the Big Apple. Instead, Fredrica Lawrence’s Fine Clothing on East Main Street became a downtown fixture, morphing from customized one-offs to brand fashion lines within the first decade. Now, after

Devon Strong, a buffalo rancher at his Four Eagles Farm in Siskiyou County and a frequent vendor at Rogue Valley Growers Market, is being remembered as a skilled teacher of animal husbandry who approached nature spiritually as part of the “sacred hoop of life.” Strong, the father of two, was raised on a ranch in Nevada. He graduated from high school in Marin County and was a Community Supported Agriculture farmer at Ashland’s Wellsprings before buying 80 acres near Montague,

Should the City Council spend $97,000 for architectural concepts and designs for a safe, “new” City Hall, evaluating three sites — the aging and seismically vulnerable building on the Plaza, new facilities at the Civic Center on East Main Street, or the newly acquired Briscoe School building, itself needing extensive renovation? The council Tuesday wrestled with that issue, debated whether to trim costs by eliminating one or even two options, but questioning if they had enough reliable data to r

A small but tasty Indonesian restaurant — Blue Toba — opened Oct. 1 in the Ashland Shopping Center, featuring lots of local, organic ingredients and spices personally brought here from chef-owner Birong Hutabarat’s home in that land. Indonesia may be near to Thailand and China, but this tastes nothing like their food, says Hutabarat, mainly because of long cooking time and spices such as turmeric, coconut, candlenut and lime leaf. These are found in most of their dishes and inf

A heavy heart I am writing with a heavy heart. I am an American Jew. I love my religion. I love my people. I can see no justification for Israel to brutally murder and maim so many people during the recent demonstrations in Palestine. I feel sad and ashamed that my fellow Jews would act so callously in response to the largely peaceful protests of the Palestinian people. Yes, rocks were thrown and kites were flown with incendiary devices. But the casualties tell the story. According to the U.N. O

The costumes, music and animated antics of crossing guard Chris Miller at Walker Elementary and Ashland Middle schools are no more.

While many kids, parents and teachers reacted with amusement to the unique act, Miller was told that a crossing guard manua

Then and now Congressman Greg Walden seems to fly below the radar, saying one thing and doing another. Case in point: Last December Walden declared of Donald Trump, "This is nor what we're about as a party, and this is not what we're about as a country, and we cannot yield to this." That was then and this is now. Walden has changed his mind (as seems to be the fashion in the Republican party). Yielding, he now supports Trump ... hoping no one is paying attention.

Panhandling not prohibited In his letter to the editor of Oct. 28, Jeffrey Gillespie states, “it has long been a policy that street people are not allowed to ask directly for money.” This is not correct. Neither Ashland nor any other U.S. city has or can adopt an outright prohibition on panhandling. It would be an unconstitutional restriction on the First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Even rude and obnoxious panhandling is constitutionally protected speech. Some cities in o
