Invitation to vandalism If one lives long enough, one becomes old. Born in 1940, I have recollections of rationing during WWII, fears of nuclear annihilation in the ’50s, sexual awakenings and revolutions in the ’60s, stagflation in the ’70s, passing 1984 without much fanfare, the information age explosion of the ’90s, terrorism and recession of the “oughts” and now, the repudiation of the values which shaped my life’s frame of reference; i.e., responsibility and accountability for my own well-b

Protect world-class fishing I am a born and raised Southern Oregonian, and support logging when it is in balance with our other important economies. My fishing guide business depends on the health of our fisheries and a healthy habitat. The Chetco River offers world-class chinook salmon and winter steelhead fishing that are integral to the economy and culture of Southern Oregon. Maintaining this healthy fishery should be a top priority for decision-makers and the long-term health of our watershe

Who Walden represents Greg Walden claims he works hard for District 2 and boasts about Republican party accomplishments. Among them, a rollback of regulations, which helps capitalists and hurts consumers; repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate, that will leave some 13 million uninsured and raise insurance rates for everyone; and the $1.5 trillion tax overhaul, according to CBO, a gift to the wealthy the working class will pay for. Walden raised over $3 million last year, after he became chai

My friend was born in our small village April 12, 1934. This was fine with me, but it was not pleasant for his family, because he was an illegitimate child. It was a disgrace for the family and later was a hardship for my friend. Older readers probably shake their heads and understand such situations, but maybe younger ones probably don’t comprehend what the fuss was all about. My friend is now 84 years old and is no longer interested in what others think about his out-of-wedlock birth. When he

Students earn praise We were so proud and satisfied to be part of the March for Our Lives this past Saturday in Medford. We were joined by so many in our community (around 1,500) and, though it’s very sad to us to have this be a necessary part of today’s culture here in America, we were inspired by the students who organized this and by all the folks who shared in it with us. We marched from the Courthouse in downtown Medford, down Oakdale, getting honks of solidarity, to the centr

Meals tax could fail The assumption that if the meals tax proposal is placed on this year’s ballot it will automatically pass is false. We don’t know what the outcome will be. The initiative is only to provide Jacksonville citizens an opportunity to vote aye or nay. It might be soundly defeated; it might pass with a strong majority; or it might be a close call. Regardless, the outcome will provide important guidance for Jacksonville citizens, city government and other stakeholders like the Jacks

Services, not stigmatization ODOT is bearing the burden of an unfortunate tragedy. The camps that pop up periodically under the exit 27 bridge feature people who are there for a variety of reasons. An article published on March 30 details the results of the issue, but in no way discusses the root of the problem. A letter to the editor opposite to the end of the article (titled “Renters need help”) illuminates part of the issue. Many are aware of the dire housing situation in the re

We can’t do better I have been a fan of Jamie McLeod-Skinner since I first heard her speak, and I was very impressed with her at the Democratic candidates forum at the high school. So I was dismayed by a recent, extremely negative letter about her. The letter writer apparently had trouble working with Jamie when she was Phoenix City Manager, and he intimated that she would be unable to work effectively with anyone in Congress. Her occupational and public service background, plus endorseme
