Editor's Note
We heard from some of our readers that the articles are good, but the typestyle is too small, so we’ve bumped it up a little in hopes of saving your eyesight. The response to last month’s Che Guevara biography was overwhelmingly positive. A lot of folks said they liked the State of Jefferson article, and that it opened their eyes as to why it’s so nice and white around here. Nevertheless, one clarification was requested by my friend Will Lewis, who called to ask if Jefferson Public Radio really was owned by Clear Channel, as was suggested by author Cyrus Magee’s reference to JPR as “that yuppie Clear Channel station.” Cyrus called it “yuppie Clear Channel” not because it’s owned by the same people who kicked Howard Stern off their network, but rather because JPR’s programming is virtually all produced in LA, New York, and other places far from here. Its musical selections do not mirror the tastes of many locals, and while it affects a folksy feel, broadcast content is designed for a very broad audience of generally warm, fuzzy, politically correct – uh – yuppies. So thanks Will, for helping Cyrus clear that up.
Announce Events In The Calendar
In our February Issue, we will add a Community Calendar illuminated with an image of our patroness, the Roman Goddess Fortuna, designed by Armando Busick of Sunwheel Productions. Fortuna was carved into the prows of Mediterranean ships thousands of years ago, and merchants addressed their prayers to her, hoping that “their ship would come in.” Certainly everyone in business in Ashland can agree with that sentiment, and no, Fortuna didn’t wear a bra. Thousands of years ago, breasts were considered normal. Event ads on the Calendar page will be full-color, 1/8 page.
Color Advertising Same As B&W
We’ve gotten comfortable with our new color pages, and are eager to get more advertisers using them, so for the February issue our ad rates for new advertisers are the same for Color and Black & White! Call your designer and have ‘em create a new, eye-catching ad. Remember, though, we run a limited number of Color pages, so this offer is “First come, first served.”
