Garden of the Month: Elizabeth and Gerard Boulanger’s gorgeous front yard at 453 Tucker St. is a great example and is the Ashland Garden Club’s Garden of the Month for September 2022, the last of this year. It requires only a modest amount of water to put on a beautiful show year-round.
Jill Weston’s lovely garden at 994 Kestral Parkway is the Ashland Garden Club’s Garden of the Month for August 2022. She has been gardening here for about three years, starting from the nearly blank slate of bare dirt and dead trees of a previously neglected property.
Kim Larson and David Minter’s garden at 128 E Nevada St., the Ashland Garden Club’s Garden of the Month for July, has come a long way from when it was almost entirely huge juniper bushes in front and a large concrete pad with a laundry line and hedge in back.
Lorraine Vail’s and Ed Smith’s garden at 780 Walker St. is the Ashland Garden Club’s Garden of the Month for June 2022. It is a very special garden in many ways, not least of which is the couple’s desire to share the beauty and knowledge they have gained through creating this garden.
The beautiful and colorful landscape at 595 Great Oaks Drive is the Ashland Garden Club’s Garden of the Month for May. It’s the home of Gerry and Sherwood Goozee, located at the southwest corner of Great Oaks Drive and Mountain Meadows Drive.
Alan DeBoer: “The Democrats have a supermajority in Oregon and control all three branches of government. They have abused that power.”
Carola Lacy: “The body is smarter than the mind. If it tells you to do something, do it. If it wants you to rest, then rest. You’ll heal more quickly.”
Elaine Romer: “Artistic taste and voices vary, but no artist, stepping into their power, should fear for their lives. As artists, we opt to leave the risks on the stage.”
Hope Weiner: “Shakespeare, because it is a part of the national curriculum, can be a lovely entry point for theater and can create a lovely foundation for theater companies to introduce something new.”
Peter James: “A consistent schedule of the same, single playwright who has defined Western theater for centuries does not a diverse season make. Focusing on any one author betrays the concept of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives wholeheartedly, particularly when said author was a white, English-speaking man.”
An Ashland man has been sentenced to probation and jail time after pleading guilty to firing on a fellow motorist in the aftermath of a road rage incident in January. In a separate case, prosecutors have dropped a charge of Measure 11 robbery in the case of an armed shoplifting in Ashland, with the defendant instead receiving three weeks in jail.
