MEDFORD — When Judge Virginia Greer of Medford Municipal Court first dreamed up the novel idea of an outreach court to stop people from cycling through the judicial system, she didn’t know how how it would turn out.

MEDFORD — The Medford Mustangs entered the Triple-A American Legion state baseball tournament with the goal of simply making it to the final day and then seeing what happened.

The Mustangs did just that, but ultimately it was the reigning state champions who defended their crown.

A man convicted by a jury of attempted murder for a seemingly unprovoked shooting at a White City mobile home park was sentenced Wednesday to more than 13 years in prison.

Romualdo Angulo Balero, 35, must serve the first 90 months of his 158-month sentence without accruing possible time off for good behavior per the terms of the sentence handed down by Jackson County Circuit Court Judge David G. Hoppe.

Tonight, when the members of the Ashland City Band step onto the stage of the Butler Band Shell in Ashland’s Lithia Park, they will be taking part in a ritual that has been a summertime tradition for close to 100 years.

And while the band’s free summer concert series goes back at least to the 1920s, the band itself traces its roots even further back than that.
