From the Publisher's Desk: More than just a mood swing Thursday, June 23, 2011 @ 8:17AMI spent a week in Salem recently with my granddaughter.

I was pressed into service as a babysitter while my son worked and my daughter-in-law wrapped up her two kindergarten classes for the year, getting her ...

From the Publisher's Desk: Adios to the morning person Thursday, June 9, 2011 @ 8:20AMWhen I lived in Grants Pass the Boersma family owned a dairy on Upper River Road. By the time I moved to the coast the cows had been phased out and pasture land transformed into Dutcher Creek Golf Course. The young Boersma brothers, Dane and Travis, went on vacation – I think it was to Costa Rica – and returned to Grants Pass enthused about roasting coffee beans in their hometown. In 1992 they ...
Letters to the Editor June 07, 2011 Wednesday, June 8, 2011 @ 9:49AMBradshaw and Hendrickson sentences don’t seem just Yes, I have another question.

I got three years’ informal probation for two back-to-back domestic violences back in 2009, and I had to take the anger management classes. This is not fair. I’m still on probation, and I graduated the classes ...

From the Publisher's Desk: Another door closes in Crescent City Thursday, May 19, 2011 @ 8:34AMA couple of years ago I attended a local health fair with the intention of taking photos for the Neighbors page.

I’d seen people practicing Tai Chi in parks and on apartment building balconies in Asia on the Travel Channel. But here, on a small indoor stage at the ...

The raising of the Stormy in Crescent City Harbor Thursday, April 7, 2011 @ 2:38PMI don’t stop to gawk at accidents nor do I have any desire to watch a fire burn. It’s not in my nature to get in the thick of things that are best left to professionals. So, during and after the recent tsunami, staying clear of the harbor seemed like the natural and wisest thing to do. I had access to photos, videos and eyewitness accounts. All I had to do was check in with our photographer or ...

Sadly, they are literally here one day and gone the ...
