Letters, April 5 By Mail Tribune readers Apr 05, 2021 12:00 AM A A Council’s naive ignorance Those of us that survived the first 20 years of life periodically “house insecure” (cycle time of about 18 months) have a special understanding of living in hell. The majority of the Medford City Council, on April 1, demonstrated a naive ignorance of “house insecure” as they voted to approve a “criminalization of homelessness” measure. This “issue” involves unique individuals in unique circumstances. Tho

Symphony of citrus makes salad sing By Sarah Lemon Updated: Apr 05, 2021 05:00 AM A A Seasonal side dishes are giving way to asparagus and anything else green. It’s hard to give citrus the cold shoulder, though, when grocers are selling nearly all the varieties by the bag and priced to move. Cara Cara and blood oranges started joining mandarins a few weeks back as varieties to purchase at a relative bargain this late in the citrus season. So I did, fully anticipating that the blood oranges would

Don’t dismiss the Greater Idaho movement By Mike McCarter Apr 04, 2021 12:00 AM A A A recent column in the Mail Tribune raised questions about the Greater Idaho movement working to relocate the Oregon/Idaho border so that Southern and Eastern Oregon would become a part of Idaho. As the leader of the movement, I can explain why this idea, though it might be a long shot, is worth the effort, and why it would be good for the citizens of Jackson County. The column colorfully describes the future Gre

I asked friends if any tales came to mind, and within 24 hours had more rescues than room. All special, here are a few. Shahala said, “I was saved by

Not every Sunday but maybe once a month we would be favored by his visit. He was a relative of ours, a cousin of my Dad, and lived not too far away from our place. He was a big man, many called him Big Bonne. A man of broad shoulders and well over six feet tall. He had a very friendly disposition, always happy and full of

Let schools skip testing this year By Mail Tribune Editorial Board Apr 04, 2021 12:00 AM A A Oregon schools are just getting back to in-person instruction for those students who want it, with most local districts aiming to offer full-time school for all students starting April 12. So it made sense for state education officials to seek a waiver from standardized testing this spring. But the initial response from the U.S. Department of Education was to say no. Federal rules require states to admin
