Hunters and hikers have been living side by side for a while, but really don't want anything to do with each other this time of year. Hunters don't want hikers to spook the deer they're hunting. Hikers don't want hunters to mistake them for the deer they're hunting. It's pretty irrational. But to set your mind at ease, we've got suggestions for three hikes where hikers are sure not to run into hunters. But these hikes have their own "threats." First up: the Jacksonville Woodlands.

On the eve of the fall hunting season, the data says that hunters pose no threat to hikers. But the perception of the "problem" makes it real. We've been focusing on "hunter-free" hikes this week as alternative places to go and the "threats" that come with them. Next up: Forest Park outside Jacksonville. Watch below. Did you miss part 1?

Things weren’t looking so good for the South Medford girls soccer team after it lost five of its first six games to start the season — a rough patch that included four one-goal losses. But the Panthers have since roared back to life, and they continued their upward trend Saturday with a 2-1 Southwest Conference victory over crosstown rival North Medford at Spiegelberg Stadium. Ula Chamberlin dribbled her way through the Black Tornado defense for an unassisted, close-range goal in the 33rd minute

North Medford came out of Saturday’s rescheduled matchup against Southwest Conference football favorite Sheldon with a lot to feel good about, except for the final score. Sheldon, ranked No. 1 in the Class 6A power rankings and No. 3 in the 6A coaches poll, used a pair of special teams miscues by the Black Tornado to pull away for a 35-6 win in North Medford’s first afternoon contest at Spiegelberg Stadium in 25 years. The SWC-opening game had been moved from Friday night after air quality made

A rally seeking extra mental health training in the wake of a schizophrenic man’s shooting death in the upper Rogue was light on signs, but heavy on heart. “Stop Jumping the Gun! Get Educated! #JusticeforMatt,” was but one of two signs Tuesday evening at the Rally for Mental Health Awareness outside the Eagle Point Police Department. The rally was in reaction to Sept. 19 Eagle Point police shooting of 33-year-old Matthew Graves, following an altercation for circumstances not yet released prior t

ASHLAND — After setting Southern Oregon’s single-game points record last week at Walla Walla (Wash.), Raider freshman Noah Addie dropped in his most significant goal yet Saturday against Northwest Christian. Addie headed in the first game-winner of his career in the 56th minute, and Yan Pessoa de Oliveira tacked on another converted header in the 82nd as SOU took a 2-0 decision off the Beacons and extended the longest winning streak in team history to eight games at Raider Stadium.

ASHLAND — Southern Oregon couldn’t break a first-place tie with Corban but settled for the next-best thing Sunday: a single point and a convincing stat line against the No. 18-ranked team in the NAIA. The Raiders (8-2-1 overall) and Warriors (8-1-1) held their ground at the top of the Cascade Conference standings after two extra periods failed to break a 0-0 tie at Raider Stadium. SOU’s eight-game winning streak turned into a nine-game unbeaten streak, and Corban protected a loss column that to

CENTRAL POINT — The Crater defense put together a pair of strong performances in a pair of Midwestern League matches Saturday against visiting Eugene-area teams. Senior outside hitter Nehkyah Ellis provided plenty of offense as the Comets (14-1, 11-0) topped Thurston, 25-19, 25-17, 25-22, and Springfield, 25-13, 25-15, 25-8, to remain undefeated in Midwestern League play. Against Thurston (8-6, 6-4 MWL), Ellis racked up 17 kills while Rain Jensen and Heather Colmer went for 13 digs apiece, and A

Homeless for nearly two decades, lifelong Rogue Valley resident Roger Paul is proud of the fact he’s never “flown a sign,” asked for handouts or caused anyone — save for himself — any real harm. But the clock is ticking for the former Crater High School basketball star and cross-country runner, who, after losing most of his toes to frostbite, is now dependent on a wheelchair. And as of Thursday, he will have nowhere to go. He’d been living since late spring at the Medford-based Avamere at Three

A Southern Oregon University student is raising money to send a very sick Klamath Falls child to Disneyland. She has arranged for 10 Barrel Brewing Company from Bend to “take over the taps” at Growler Guys in Ashland from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3, with money from raffle tickets going toward the trip for 13-year-old Troy Price and his mother, Regina Price. SOU honors student Caitlin Diefendorf says her goal is to raise at least $2,000 to cover the expenses of the trip. So far, she’s raised $

A federal judge has sided with the Federal Trade Commission , ruling that a group of Jackson County businesses were deceptive when they sold marked-up newspaper subscriptions with mailers resembling those direct from the publisher. Referencing a mailer that solicited Washington Post subscriptions with the phrase “Notice of Renewal,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Clarke called the mailers “deceptive on their face,” because they were likely to mislead a reasonable consumer, according to documents fil

A Rogue River couple whose neighbors sued them over the barking of their dogs will have to pay more than $200,000 in damages and have all of their Tibetan mastiffs debarked. According to court records, a Jackson County jury April 2 found in favor of plaintiffs Dale and Debra Krein, who had filed suit in 2012 in Jackson County Circuit Court along with two other neighbors who were later dismissed as plaintiffs. The jury awarded the Kreins $238,900 in damages for what they described as more than a

Wildfire smoke returned to the Rogue Valley on Friday, and it was thick enough to warrant postponing local football games. Cancellations have a cascading effect on Medford activities, with less event related traffic throughout the evening. While the football stadiums sat empty, I visited local businesses to investigate the impact on their sales. Paul Cloutier, salesman at All RV Needs in Phoenix, said that smoke issues impact the bottom line in the RV industry as well. His customer base is frequ

WASHINGTON (AP) — Authorities at a Pentagon mail screening facility found two envelopes suspected of containing ricin, a poison made from castor beans, and turned them over to the FBI for further analysis, officials said Tuesday. One envelope was addressed to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who is traveling in Europe this week, and the other to the Navy’s top officer, Adm. John Richardson, a defense official said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized

This Earth Day, I am giving thanks for the lingering effects of our cold-wet winter and the beautiful snow-capped mountains. Reservoirs are filling up, fisher-people are casting away in streams with hopes of bountiful catches, and kayakers are bucking the rapids again. We should all enjoy this wet winter that used to be the “norm,” while remembering that we have much work to do to make the climate safe for our children.

Packing gauze into a bullet wound is no time to be tender. “This is not packing,” Jackie DeSilva told an audience of nurses and first-responders Wednesday as she made gentle motions around a simulated wound on a foam cylinder at Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center. Saving a life requires “quick and dirty” stuffing motions, said DeSilva, a registered nurse and RRMC’s trauma program manager. Her audience of 10 nurses and paramedics already knew to be firm when seconds count. But this was directed
