Given all the national attention being heaped on Nate Bittle these days, it can be hard to remember that he’s also just a 15-year-old sophomore at Crater High School. He still has a heavy workload in the classroom, and is still a ways away from graduation. In reality, the biggest thing on his plate these days is making it through his driver’s education program, which can be tedious at times and somewhat uncomfortable when you consider a lanky 6-foot-10 frame trying to fit into a Chevy sedan. “My

Whenever she left her bed, the Medford resident needed supplemental oxygen and a cane. She was frequently hospitalized for pneumonia, chest pain and

A group of mostly local filmmakers is shooting an “eco-thriller” TV series up in the Greensprings and Hyatt Lake area that it hopes to market on Shudder or another “video on demand” site. If successful, it could keep them shooting in the Cascade lakes area for many seasons. In a shooting session Saturday, most of the talent and crew couldn’t really say what the series, called “The Stem,” is about, but it rings of “Twin Peaks” and features a possibly mentally unbalanced FBI agent, Nora, who has c

Graduation coach Robert Joe credits the power of peer pressure with pushing dozens of freshmen with failing grades to pass their classes in the last few weeks of school. As part of a pilot project that started in April, Joe has been working with 74 freshmen who failed one or more classes in the first semester at Eagle Point High School. Students who fall behind as freshmen have a much harder time earning enough credits to graduate from high school on time — or ever. By the end of May, 20

Every classic play was a new play at one point in time, says Ashland New Plays Festival’s executive director Kyle Haden. “Think of how exciting it must have been for that first audience to see ‘Hamlet’ or August Wilson’s ‘Piano Lesson’ or Lin-Manuel Miranda’s ‘Hamilton.’ All of the classics have to start somewhere,” he says. “Being part of that beginning process is exciting for the artists writing, for those directly working on the plays, for our readers sifting through all the plays looking for

“The Babysitter” is a 2017 Netflix original release starring Samara Weaving (“Out of the Blue,” “Home and Away”), Judah Lewis (“Deliverance Creek,” “Game of Silence”) and Robbie Amell (“The Flash,” “The Tomorrow People”).
