I was at the trailhead for the Rogue River Greenway the other day and saw some swallows flying around over the river. Then I saw a hummingbird. I thought these species of birds all migrated. But these birds had not. So it got me wondering about why some birds don't migrate with the rest of their flock. Do you know why? — Mildred P., Gold Hill We, the bird nerds in the Since You Asked nest, took your ornithological query to Frank Lang, author and former biology professor at Southern Oregon

Kids being held at the Jackson County juvenile detention center are finding comfort and inspiration from the world’s greatest leaders — thanks to a new mural painted by Ashland artist Michael Arciniega. The montage of portraits and quotes overlooks the day use area, and is also visible from many of the bedroom cells. “I think it’s pretty inspirational and it’s cool to be able to look out of my window in my room — like when the pod’s really chaotic and pe

NEW YORK — Hackers stole information on as many as 500 million guests of the Marriott hotel empire over four years, obtaining credit card and passport numbers and other personal data, the company said Friday as it acknowledged one of the largest security breaches in history. The full scope of the failure was not immediately clear. Marriott was trying to determine if the records included duplicates, such as a single person staying multiple times. It was also unclear what hackers could do wi

“Tuck Everlasting, the Musical” is filled with humor, heart and warmth and is a charming holiday play that children and families will love. It’s the story of 11-year-old Winnie Foster, chafing at the restraints of childhood and yearning for adventure, and the very adult decisions she must make. “Tuck Everlasting” opened last week at Collaborative Theatre Project in Medford to a full house. Aubrey Campbell is cast as Winnie and lights up the stage with her bright, op

WASHINGTON (AP) — It was a grace note for the ages. “Dear Bill,” George H.W. Bush scribbled Jan. 20, 1993, to the Democrat about to succeed him as president. “When I walked into this office just now I felt the same sense of wonder and respect that I felt four years ago. I know you will feel that, too.” Short yet intimate, the note left in the Oval Office from vanquished to victor seeded a friendship that flowered in the decades since, to a point where Bill Clinton s

This is leadership? With a summer of choking smoke still fresh in local residents’ minds, Gov. Kate Brown’s solution is to create a committee to study the state’s wildfire response. She’s allocated $400,000 for said study in her proposed budget that totals $83.5 billion. That’s billion with a B. If that news has smoke coming out of your ears, you’re not alone. In her budget message, Brown says she will issue an executive order establishing something called the

In this commentary this week, Larry Mendte examines the not-so-secret war America is fighting in Yemen. Yemen is a small country consumed by civil war in the past three years. Here are some numbers: 70,000 have died, mostly from famine and disease, the by-products of the civil war. 8,273 miles separate Yemen from Southern Oregon, so why care, some may say? Well, because U.S. Special Forces are already in Yemen. And because Yemen is very similar to other wars America has fought and lost lives in.

A large, second-floor space in the 1883 county courthouse — now Jacksonville City Hall — may become accessible if a new plan for elevators is affordable. Lack of an elevator to the second floor, a requirement of ADA regulations, has prevented use of the space since the city moved into the renovated budding in July 2016. Bids to construct a single outside elevator came in at least $40,000 over estimates. City officials are hoping a new elevator arrangement may prove less costly. The t
