ROGUE RIVER — Del Rio Vineyards has acquired two parcels encompassing 215 acres from descendants of David and Clarissa Birdseye, who settled on the property in the 1850s, several years before Oregon joined the Union. Jackson County property records show the $2 million transaction was completed last month. "I'm always looking for good acres and we've been looking for years," said Rob Wallace, one of Del Rio's owners. "When all the planets line up, that's when you go do it." Ted Birdseye ha

Christmas decorations spanning from the Victorian era into the 1960s reveal how different generations celebrated the holidays at the historic Hanley farmhouse outside Jacksonville. While the Christmas tree was decorated with beeswax candles in the 1800s, many families were putting up cutting-edge aluminum trees illuminated by a color-wheel light in the late 1950s and into the 1960s. The two radically different styles of trees — and much more — will be on display during tours from 1

PHOENIX — Injuries and a slew of Phoenix penalties helped Henley climb back into Friday night’s Skyline Conference football game. Justin Knight, however, made sure the Pirates had the final say. The senior running back rumbled for 211 hard-earned yards and three touchdowns on 41 carries as the Pirates did just enough late to fend off Henley 28-19 at Jack Woodward Stadium. Knight’s evening became much busier when fellow running back Zach Atteberry left in the second quarter w

Are Spectrum TV and Northwest Broadcasting any closer to resolving their differences, or will local viewers continue to be punished for their failure to communicate?

Dylan Wu has one foot in the real world and is about to bring the other in step. But loose ends must first be tied. The talented Medford golfer recently completed a stellar career at Northwestern University and has gained a place on PGA Tour Canada, also known as the Mackenzie Tour. He did it through a qualifying stage in early May, tying for 10th place to earn his way into the first four Mackenzie events. He must do reasonably well in them to retain that status.

Soon after Wednesday night's Republican debate, the phone rang: "Did the fat lady sing?" asked the voice on the other end. "Probably," I said. Meaning, it is probably over for Jeb Bush. The erstwhile front-runner had performed weakly, which was compounded by his recent promise to shed his Mr. Nice Guy persona. Instead, he seemed awkward and flimsy as he lashed out at his former protege Marco Rubio for having missed dozens of Senate votes in his pursuit of the presidency. The attack was predictab

The converted barn serves as a house of worship for about 30 people who follow the Russian Orthodox faith, part of Eastern Orthodoxy — the second-largest Christian community in the world after the Roman Catholic Church.

I know we live in a world of short cuts and abbreviations, especially in our communications. The apostrophe often takes a back seat; many young people never use it at all. This diminutive bit of punctuation can make one’s writing more clear, especially in possessives. The apostrophe can definitely clarify ownership if it is used correctly. There are some acceptable variations; however, you will never be wrong if you follow three simple rules. First, if your noun is singular, its possessiv
