Article misrepresented victim Recently I read about a murder-suicide in Medford. Although the victim's name and photograph stared out at me from the front page, I immediately told myself this could not be the woman I knew and adored. Charmaine Crunk worked for the financial office that our homeowners association uses, and (as HOA treasurer) I have known and worked with her for four years. She never hesitated to help me with my tasks even though at times, I’m sure it was a burden. In no wa

Jim Hutchins stands in his waders with his eyes fixed on a sliver of Bear Creek that’s foaming like a rootbeer float as it gurgles over a concrete pipe spanning the creek beneath downtown Medford’s Jackson Street bridge. Suddenly the froth erupts, and a wild fall chinook salmon the size of a man’s leg hurtles skyward and plops halfway up the 4-foot jump over the pipe. It fins and writhes against the current, its belly scraping the concrete before it musters enough power to dart over the obstruct

Defiance, an American bald eagle at Wildlife Images, epitomizes defying the odds. Once an endangered species, bald eagles have rebounded dramatically in the last 30 years. Removed from the Endangered Species list in 2007, bald eagles are now a common sight along the Rogue River, thanks in part to efforts of animal rescue and rehabilitation centers such as Wildlife Images.
