Join Lori Grable for a Beginning Yoga class! This class is open to anyone who is interested in trying out yoga for the first time or wants a refresher yoga class after a layoff. Come with comfortable clothes, a yoga mat and water bottle. New students can arrive at 10:15.

Instructor Bio: Lori began her yoga journey in 2000 as a student at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center. She was drawn to the practice because it helped her to reconnect with her most authentic self while making her stronger and more open, physically and mentally. Her passion for yoga grew stronger as she traveled around the United States during the summer of 2003, practicing at many studios along the way. After settling in Pittsburgh, PA, she completed her teacher training and began teaching in 2006.

Today, Lori is an E-RYT 500 and teaches Vinyasa-based classes. She is influenced by the philosophy and alignment principles of Anusara Yoga. As a triathlete, Lori has an interest in yoga for athletes and has taught many workshops on the topic. She has a passion for the outdoors and has taught yoga in parks, vineyards, and backyards. Lori appreciates the healing and restorative qualities of yoga and has also worked with students who are recovering from illness, rehabilitating injuries, pregnant, or elderly.

Over the next two days, we’ll examine real cases (local and national), explore modern investigative techniques, and hear from experts in forensics, psychology, and victim advocacy. We will learn, we will question, and maybe even find a few answers.

While true crime can be compelling, we remain grounded in one principle: respect for the victims and their stories always comes first.

Enjoy a local celebration of World Bird Migratory Day on Saturday, May 16th, 8 am – Noon at North Mountain Park Nature Center in Ashland. Rogue Valley Bird Day will include educational exhibits from local bird interest groups and more, as well as fun all-ages activities.

Adult and children’s binoculars will be available for checkout, with bird walks leaving every 15-30 minutes. These easy walks travel along the park’s bark-chipped trails, or along the accessible, paved bike path. Visitors may also sit down and enjoy the bird watching from the covered pavilion.
This year’s event is coordinated by Klamath Bird Observatory, Rogue Valley Audubon Society, and Ashland Parks and Recreation. The theme “Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter,” highlights the importance of citizen birding science.

Crafts, games, and a self-guided activity booklet will be on hand for kids to learn about birds and earn prizes. At 11am all ages are invited to compete in the annual Bird Calling Contest and “Name that Bird” contest. Join us for a day of birding fun!

Imagine your life without a smart phone—or for that matter any phone at all. What about no computer or internet connection? TV or radio? Time travel with Historic Jacksonville, Inc. back to 1900 for a “retro” tour of “Daily Life Then and Now: 1900 vs. 2026.” Guided 45-minute tours compare the differences in communication, fashion, etiquette, entertainment, chores, household “amenities,” and much more – things we take for granted like electricity, running water, and…bathrooms!
Tours begin every 20-30 minutes between 12n and 3pm at the 1870s C.C. Beekman House, located at 470 E. California Street in Jacksonville, Oregon. Tour admission is $8 (cash or check at the door). You’ll find more information at https://historicjacksonville.org/then-and-now/.
All proceeds go towards maintenance of Jacksonville’s historic buildings and the programs and events that bring them to life and make them relevant for people today.

Over the next two days, we’ll examine real cases (local and national), explore modern investigative techniques, and hear from experts in forensics, psychology, and victim advocacy. We will learn, we will question, and maybe even find a few answers.
