Windows in Time Presents "Newswatch '65"
Local historian Ben Truwe presents the 2017 Windows in Time Lecture, "Newswatch '65". The presentation features local television news clips, all filmed in the Rogue Valley by KOBI during 1965. You'll see the Shady Cove jet-boat ferry across the Rogue River and progress on replacing the bridge swept away by the 1964 flood, testing the new Mount Ashland chair lift, interiors of Medford's Carnegie Library, Medford police training for riot duty, the Rogue River Rooster Crow, and Jacksonville Pioneer Days. All filmed in 1965 in glorious black and white. AND the mystery of the free coconut meat will be solved before your disbelieving eyes.
The monthly “Windows in Time” lunchtime lectures are offered free to the public from 12 noon – 1:00 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month at the Medford Library and the second Wednesday of each month at the Ashland Library. These lectures feature well-known writers and historians, and bring alive the people, values, and events that shaped our Southern Oregon heritage. Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Southern Oregon Historical Society and Jackson County Library Services.
