In the black water of a wooded pond, a pair of ducks quietly rest. The female is a somber gray brown with a rusty-colored head and a bushy crest. The male, in contrast, is striking. The head sports a large, white, rounded crest bordered in black that shows brightly even in the shadowed pond. The crest is lowered most of the time, but the white still shows as a broad line behind the eye. The white breast is marked by two black slashes beginning at the shoulder. The sides are a warm rusty brown, a

South Medford’s girls basketball team came close to accomplishing a rare feat during the recent all-Southwest Conference voting, finishing one player shy of having its entire starting unit on the all-league first team. Senior Ula Chamberlin was joined by junior Bella Pedrojetti and sophomores Kaili Chamberlin and Toni Coleman on the Panther-dominated first team. Sophomore starter Shakia Teague-Perry was a second-team selection. All five Panthers finished among the top-10 in SWC scoring, wi

Take action on HB 2020 I attended the public hearing on HB 2020 in Medford. I was shocked at the number of what I saw as uninformed opinions. I took a step back and realized that not everyone has the ability to see past their own small existence. I also recognized that not everyone thinks about the future or believes that small steps make a difference. I personally cannot imagine anything more important than helping to heal the planet. I am sad to hear what I perceive as fear-mongering. Maybe if

CINCINNATI (AP) — Unlike President Donald Trump, Otto Warmbier's parents don't believe North Korea's leader. The parents of the American college student who was sent home from North Korea in a vegetative state spoke out Friday, after Trump's comment this week that he takes Kim Jong Un "at his word" that he was unaware of any mistreatment during the young man's 17 months of captivity.

As the Oregon Shakespeare Festival opens the curtain on preview week, we’re reminded that interpretations of live theater — even plays written centuries ago — can speak to the state of our current society. OSF long has been at the forefront of this approach, perhaps never more so than in its 2019 slate ... as a cursory glance of the season reveals a parade of productions that presents a potent political polemic on the POTUS.

First to come, she said, will be a "sensible product for pets." Neither Stewart nor Canopy Growth is saying if that would be a dog or cat treat, an infused pet

For us, a group of cross-country skiers seeking a tranquil, backcountry experience, taking the Burton Flat Road — located 32 miles from Ashland just west of a parking area near Dead Indian Memorial Highway and the Pacific Crest Trail — was an easy decision.

In an Oct. 21 letter written to Kevin Washburn, assistant secretary of Indian Affairs with the U.S. Department of the Interior, the two Democratic senators from Oregon said they agree with the opposition already voiced by Gov.
