The Marvel Man may have been a little less marvelous than everybody thought. A former employer says Don Haynes, who claimed to live inside a sealed car, actually was able to slip out of the vehicle. And history buff Ben Truwe, of Medford, found that The Marvel Man kept his act going around the country for years after he disappeared from the Rogue Valley. "The story changes from time to time," Truwe says. In 1949, in Ashland, Haynes had himself welded inside a Kaiser automobile and toured the cou

Medford taxidermist Dustin Clark saw a relatively booming business nearly go bust in recent years as fewer skins found their way to his shop when the economy tanked. All that chan

“The Way the Mountain Moved” concerns the richly textured, complicated stories of westward expansion in the 1850s, when manifest destiny drove settlers across the continental divide to master new territories and harvest a wealth of natural resources. The intercontinental rail system would join east to west, intended to unite a country divided by more than geography. “The Way the Mountain Moved,” written by Idris Goodwin and directed by May Adrales, opened last week in the Oregon Shakespeare Fest

A pet peeve of mine is illegal window tinting. Many times when I approach an intersection, I can't see whether the driver on a side street getting ready to pull out is looking my way because the windows are too dark. I understand it's easy to get a bogus prescription for tinting, but there should be a limit. As a police officer, I would feel a little intimidated walking up on a car with heavily tinted windows not knowing how many folks were inside or whether there was a weapon pointed at me. I w

However, when it comes to home design, adding eggplant, or aubergine, color to a room is becoming the apple of many a decorator’s eye. “Aubergine is one of my favorite colors,” said Carolyn Allman, owner of Interiors at the Livery Stable on Grape Street in Medford. “Gray is such a popular color right now, and the warmth of aubergine looks beautiful
