SUMMARY:Uncovering Oregon’s Black History: Oregon’s Black Pioneers
DESCRIPTION:People of African descent have lived and worked in Oregon since before the founding of the earliest English-speaking settlements in the Americas. Despite this\, the popular narrative of our state’s history excludes the experiences of African Americans before the mid-20th century. \nThis erasure is the result of historic legal and social marginalization that contributes to the ignorance of Oregon’s Black heritage\, as well as influencing contemporary disparities in housing access\, community investment\, and policing. \nAt the March 18 event\, Mariah Rocker\, Public Programs and Exhibits Manager for Black Pioneers will attempt to correct the record by highlighting key individuals and events that characterize Oregon’s unique and centuries-old Black history. The event is free and open to the public. For more information and to RSVP\, please go to our website at: https://ashlandtogether.org/event/uncovering-oregons-black-history/ \nAshland Sunrise Project is an Ashland Together initiative in partnership with the Oregon Remembrance Project. We thank the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for venue support of this event.

SUMMARY:"Tough Broad" author Caroline Paul to speak at Ashland library
DESCRIPTION:Author Caroline Paul will talk about her latest work of nonfiction\, “Tough Broad: From Boogie Boarding to Wing Walking — How Outdoor Adventure Improves Our Lives As We Age” at 6 p.m. Monday\, March 18\, at the Ashland library\, 410 Siskiyou Blvd.\, Ashland. \nThe event is free and open to the public. Paul has been an outdoor adventurer her whole life. From mountain biking in the Bolivian Andes to pitching a tent\, mid-blizzard\, on Denali to flying experimental planes\, she has never been a stranger to the beauty and benefits of outdoor activity. But as she hit her mid-fifties and was often the only woman paddling a surfboard or riding a skateboard\, she began to wonder why women aren’t encouraged to keep adventuring into old age. \n“Tough Broad” shows how outdoor adventure may be the single best solution for a healthy brain and body\, a confident mindset\, and a longer\, happier life.

SUMMARY:What's at Stake
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art (SMA) reopens at 5 p.m. Thursday\, Jan. 11\, 2024\, with a new exhibition\, “What’s at Stake.” \nCurated by Catharine Clark\, owner and founding director of Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco\, this exhibition will feature artists Zeina Barakeh\, Al Farrow\, and Masami Teraoka. This compelling exhibition explores the urgent issues of our time\, delving into the mechanisms of war and colonialism while interrogating the unpredictability and legitimacy of armed conflict. It will be on view through March 23\, 2024. \n“What’s at Stake” sheds light on the devastating impacts of war\, human rights violations\, and environmental collapse\, compelling viewers to pause and reflect on our collective responsibility to one another. The exhibition raises essential questions about the consequences when violence goes unchecked and challenges us to consider what is truly at stake in a world grappling with these pressing issues. \nSMA Executive Director Scott Malbaurn shared\, “During a recent trip to San Francisco with museum members\, we visited solo exhibitions at Catharine Clark Gallery featuring Masami Teraoka\, Al Farrow\, and Zeina Barakeh. Recognizing the common theme of exploring the impact of war\, especially for artists raised in wartime milieus like Teraoka and Barakeh alongside the sculpture of Al Farrow\, which are assembled with war time munitions\, we decided to present these shows collectively as “What’s at Stake.” This group exhibition becomes a poignant question and statement\, resonating with contemporary violent events that seem to be happening all of the time globally.” \nAn opening reception will take place 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday\, Jan. 11. Curator Catharine Clark and select artists will be in attendance. The opening reception is free and open to the public; complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres will be provided.

SUMMARY:What's at Stake
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art (SMA) reopens at 5 p.m. Thursday\, Jan. 11\, 2024\, with a new exhibition\, “What’s at Stake.” \nCurated by Catharine Clark\, owner and founding director of Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco\, this exhibition will feature artists Zeina Barakeh\, Al Farrow\, and Masami Teraoka. This compelling exhibition explores the urgent issues of our time\, delving into the mechanisms of war and colonialism while interrogating the unpredictability and legitimacy of armed conflict. It will be on view through March 23\, 2024. \n“What’s at Stake” sheds light on the devastating impacts of war\, human rights violations\, and environmental collapse\, compelling viewers to pause and reflect on our collective responsibility to one another. The exhibition raises essential questions about the consequences when violence goes unchecked and challenges us to consider what is truly at stake in a world grappling with these pressing issues. \nSMA Executive Director Scott Malbaurn shared\, “During a recent trip to San Francisco with museum members\, we visited solo exhibitions at Catharine Clark Gallery featuring Masami Teraoka\, Al Farrow\, and Zeina Barakeh. Recognizing the common theme of exploring the impact of war\, especially for artists raised in wartime milieus like Teraoka and Barakeh alongside the sculpture of Al Farrow\, which are assembled with war time munitions\, we decided to present these shows collectively as “What’s at Stake.” This group exhibition becomes a poignant question and statement\, resonating with contemporary violent events that seem to be happening all of the time globally.” \nAn opening reception will take place 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday\, Jan. 11. Curator Catharine Clark and select artists will be in attendance. The opening reception is free and open to the public; complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres will be provided. The Museum will be closed on Saturday\, Jan. 13 for a private event. \nNew Masterworks on Loan and Highlights from the Permanent Collection will also be on view in the Entry Gallery.

Please contact the office to receive our monthly emails and the Zoom link for this practice: OFFICE@KSCASHLAND.ORG \nHeld 9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Sunday\, Jan. 21\, Feb. 18\, March 24\, and April 21.

SUMMARY:Sunday Service: Seeding Forgiveness
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as speaker Irv Lubliner shares his mother’s story from Holocaust to hope. While few of us have ever endured this kind of suffering\, all of us have experiences and relationships that cause pain\, fear\, anger\, resentment\, and even hatred. How do we reach out with compassion and move on into a life of forgiveness and hope? \nBefore she died in 1974\, Felicia Bornstein Lubliner wrote about her internment in ghettos and concentration camps in Nazi-occupied Poland\, powerful stories published by her son\, Irv Lubliner.  He will share excerpts from “Only Hope: A Survivor’s Stories of the Holocaust\,” shedding light on her experiences and indomitable spirit.  Participants will learn about the Holocaust through the eyes of a survivor\, as well as how the instructor – the child of two survivors – was impacted by his parents’ experiences. \nIrv Lubliner teaches math\, music\, and literature classes for the Osher Lifelong Learning institute (OLLI) at Southern Oregon University (SOU). An emeritus SOU professor specializing in mathematics education\, he taught for 40 years (all levels\, kindergarten through graduate school)\, led seminars for teachers in 39 states\, and gave over 350 conference presentations\, including several keynote addresses.  He has spoken about his mother’s experiences during the Holocaust for numerous schools\, libraries\, civic organizations\, book clubs\, and 83 other OLLI campuses nationwide. \nAttend in person or watch live or recorded on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@roguevalleyunitarianuniver8871

SUMMARY:Winter Blues Cruise! -Main St Protected Bike Path in Medford!
DESCRIPTION:This is a call to bring your family! Bring your friends! Bring your spark! And bring your analog bike\, or eBike! \nCommence the Winter Blues Cruise! It’s that time of year where everything gets dark early\, and it can be a little harder to stay motivated to ride. What better way than to get out with other people\, enjoy the beautiful Rogue Valley and meet up for some great food\, fun\, or both! \nThis week I wanted to take you to the protected on-street bikeway on Main St in Medford! \nWait! Protected on-street bikeway? You read that right! I wanted to showcase an effective on-street bike path that they built on Main Street in Medford that connects from the Bear Creek Greenway and currently ends at Alba Park! \nAnd! We’re doing something different on this ride! (Well\, aside from the bike path showcase!) We’re splitting off and showing multiple businesses our love on the protected bike path! This is intended to display that our cycling culture is beneficial to local commerce and\, perhaps\, convince more people that more infrastructure for cyclists (such as a protected bike path!) can promote said commerce as cyclists can feel safer arriving\, as well as departing! (BTW\, one of Team Rogue Cycles core values is to promote cycling as an alternate transportation mode and get people out of their cars!) I’ll be heading to Mellelo’s Coffee to grab a chai\, but all participants are encouraged to patronize businesses on the way! \nRoute info! We’ll meet at Ashland Electric Bikes at 11:45 a.m\, with some basic traffic and group riding rules at noon. We’ll do some call and response stretches to warm up (a good friend said that we’re not a group unless we do something cringey together!) Then off we ride! \nWe’ll ride a good mix of public streets and protected Greenway. Weather permitting\, there will be views of Grizzly Peak and the mountain ranges surrounding the valley! We’ll end the first half of our ride at Alba Park\, where participants are then encouraged to visit all of the local businesses! We’ll give you an hour to offer commerce\, and then we’ll meet up back at Alba Park! After that\, it’s back to Ashland Electric Bikes! The ride is about 32.7 miles w/ 1\,050ft of elevation gain! \nThis is an out and back loop! All who ride with us are encouraged to ride as a group\, however you are welcome to ride ahead\, behind\, join on the route\, or meet us there! \n***Important!\nBring money for food and beverage! And remember your bike lock/helmet! \nNote: This is a not an Ashland Electric Bikes event. The store owner has agreed to have the shop open\, on non-business days\, before and after our rides to allow folks a place to gather outside of the cold\, use the facilities and grab any last minute items they might have forgot. There will be a waiver that we ask everyone to sign making sure they acknowledge this point. \nThere is no Support And Gear (SAG) wagon! Please arrive with your protective gear\, as well as a tube(s)/pump/tools for the ride in case the ride goes awry! Ashland Electric Bikes (AEB) will have gear and tools available for purchase at the start\, as well as the end of the ride. \nAlso! \nWe ride rain\, or shine! This is the Winter Blues Cruise! Step away from your domicile and become a bit feral! Here’s looking forward to seeing you there!! \nFeel free to send me your questions/ comments! \nFor route info w/ turn by turn directions\, download the RidewithGPS app and select the link below! \nhttps://ridewithgps.com/routes/45825194

DESCRIPTION:Weekly: A weekly Men’s Circle Fire Ceremony on Monday nights from 6:30-8:30 pm around the fire at the Island Fire Pit in scenic Lithia Park in Ashland\, Oregon. \nWhat could be more natural than gathering around the fire and talking about the challenges of being a man and/or assuming masculine roles in our current culture? \nCeremony: This Men’s Circle is conducted as a shamanic ceremony to establish connection and community. It is compatible with any religious and spiritual beliefs. We offer intentions\, smudge with sage\, and release things into the fire. A weekly theme such as “confidence” or “purpose” is introduced. \nTalking Stick and Fire Ceremony: A talking stick is passed to speak your truth on this topic and things coming up in your life.

This includes all gender identities and sexual orientations. \nDrug and alcohol-free: This form of ceremony does not utilize plant medicine or psychedelics. Please do not be under the influence of any drugs or alcohol during this ceremony. \nAge: This ceremony is for ages 18 and older. \nFacilitator: This ceremony is conducted by Michael Hoffman\, LCSW.

Michael’s role and responsibility as the facilitator is to ensure that the ceremony is emotionally safe. Judgment and criticism will be stopped. He will also encourage you to venture deeper into your dynamic masculine energy. \nDirections: The ceremony is at the Island Fire Pit in Ashland’s scenic Lithia Park. It is just south (away from downtown) of the Parks Office between the Cotton Memorial and Hillside on a small island in Ashland Creek.

SUMMARY:CLOSE TO HOME: Sexual Abusers and Serial Killers\, Memoir and Murder with author Janine O’Neill
DESCRIPTION:On February 5\, 1981\, a young couple passed by Ashland as they drove from Edmonds\, Washington to Nellis Air Force Base\, near Las Vegas\, for the man’s first military assignment. Late that night\, they were murdered by a long-haul trucker and self-proclaimed serial killer named Ward Weaver Jr. after their car broke down in California’s Tehachapi Mountains. \nTwenty-one years later\, Weaver’s eponymously named son\, Ward Weaver III\, murdered two girls in Clackamas County\, Oregon. Then he buried one of the girl’s bodies under concrete in his own backyard\, just as his father had done with the young woman he’d kidnapped near Tehachapi. \nIn 2016\, while Ward Weaver Jr. was on death row in California and Ward III was serving life sentences in Oregon\, their son/grandson\, Francis Weaver\, was also convicted of murder in Clackamas County. My book uses the Weaver family’s unique history as a hook from which to hang a broader story about why some people are more likely than others to become victims of violent crime\, perpetrators of violent crime or both. \nAs an attorney\, I prosecuted crimes committed against children in Clackamas County for seven years. Had I not left the district attorney’s office there\, I would have expected to be one of the deputy DAs assigned to Ward Weaver III’s case. As it was\, I covered the story in my second career as a reporter for the Portland Tribune. I also am the former executive director of the Oregon Crime Victims Law Center and the mother of a child who—like Weaver III’s victims—was sexually assaulted by a known\, trusted adult. (My family’s experience is part of the memoir aspect of my book\, which I published under my unmarried name\, O’Neill\, to protect my family’s privacy.) \nWhat one reviewer said about the book \n“Best book\, local and true crime edition: Janine O’Neill’s Close to Home\, in which the Portland journalist and attorney who covered the 2002 Oregon City disappearances of Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis takes a look at those murders (and others) through a multi-faceted lens: historical\, biological\, legal\, personal and intensely analytical. O’Neill tells several extremely difficult yet well-organized stories through her excellent and tight writing and top-notch investigative chops\, along with a dash of\, somehow\, self-effacing wit.” From the Portland Business Journal‘s “The PBJ’s best of 2023 in arts and culture.”
