North Medford and South Medford found themselves on the opposite ends of the Southwest Conference boys basketball spectrum Wednesday night, but for the opening 16 minutes you would’ve been hard-pressed to tell the difference. When the horn sounded to signify the end of the first half, there was the two-win Panthers jogging off with a four-point advantage in hopes of knocking off an unbeaten SWC team for the second straight game. Those hopes, however, rolled off the rim and out of the baske

A better defensive effort and increased focus on getting the ball inside to junior Trevahn Foster in the second half paid big dividends for the St. Mary’s boys basketball team in a 75-56 Far West League win over South Umpqua Tuesday night at St. Mary’s High. The Crusaders (10-10, 4-2 FWL) held a modest 30-25 lead at halftime but dialed up a different approach in the second half as Foster scored 14 of his 18 points in the final two quarters and the Lancers (2-18, 1-6) saw their scorin

“Away,” at least to hear Tom Selleck tell it in those TV ads that lure people into buying behemoth, gas-guzzling RVs, is a place that’s not on any map ... but you know it when you find it. And that’s sort of how we’ve become conditioned to think about our trash, our garbage, our waste. We throw it ... “away.” Out of sight, out of mind — to someplace, with any luck, that’s not on any map. That place used to be China, until the Chinese (who rep

Even a healthy North Medford team would have had a hard time hanging with the fully loaded, uber talented, No. 5-ranked South Medford Panthers. So the injury-depleted version of the Black Tornado that limped into Tuesday’s Southwest Conference girls basketball game without its leading scorer and four rotation players overall didn’t stand much of a chance. South Medford had no mercy for its crosstown rivals, jumping out to leads of 22-7 after one quarter and 36-16 at the half on its w

Susanna Black's ravioli were so popular with friends that she rolled her family's traditional recipe into a small business. This month, Black's Heartsong Pasta Co. filled another, smaller niche for specialty foods when her daughter perfected gluten-free ravioli to sell at local farmers markets. "I basically came to the conclusion that it just couldn't be done," says Black, a 55-year-old resident of Montague, Calif. "Everything we tried was just horrible.

The idea of a private business building a recreation center in Hawthorne Park and making it available to the public during evenings and weekends is worth serious consideration. City officials should make sure the city's interests are fully protected, and that any deal worked out with the business is fair to all concerned.
