IDLEYLD PARK — Hunter Stephens is taking the forestry class at Roseburg High School, and on Wednesday he was a member of the group that went on a field trip to Rock Creek Recreation Site in Idleyld Park.

"So far I've learned that everybody that's here fell into it because they don't like being like inside, and growing up they always wanted to be outside, so they funneled into the job that they're in." Hunter said. "And I think that's kind of like where I'm at, too."

Hunter started in the agriculture class at Roseburg High School. Then Roseburg High School forestry and natural resources instructor Cailey Powell asked if he would join the forestry class, so he decided to try it out.

He said he wanted to be a wildlife biologist, but now is sure that he does not want to do this. He is thinking of going into the forestry sector and said the event Wednesday helped him figure out exactly what people in these jobs did out in the field instead of just being a title.

Each January, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development kicks off the Point-in-Time Count to tally how many Americans are experiencing homelessness on a single day.

In Douglas County, it's more than just a count; It's a chance to offer a helping hand.

On Wednesday, United Community Action Network (UCAN) stewarded the 2026 Point-in-Time count for Douglas County.

In the morning, teams of volunteers were sent across the county, including in Roseburg, Glide, Reedsport and Oakland, to count as many homeless people as possible, handing out goods such as shelf-stable food along the way.

According to UCAN Housing & Homeless Services Supervisor Rick Sapp, the count is important because it provides data that helps demonstrate a need for sources of funding.

"What that does is it help agencies like UCAN all over the nation to provide numbers for grants, to get rapid rehousing funds and resources to help folks that are suffering from homelessness obtain permanent housing," Sapp said.

At the St. Joseph Catholic Church gymnasium in Roseburg, UCAN partnered with several local organizations and businesses to provide supplies, resources and free services to homeless people.

Inside the gym, these partners distributed shelf-stable food, warm clothing, hygiene products, emergency blankets, disposable hand warmers and NARCAN nasal spray to visitors.

It survived the Roseburg Blast, several changes in ownership and over a century of use, but Wilson's Chapel of the Roses hadn't had a renovation in nearly 50 years.

As of this week, that has officially changed.

On Tuesday evening, the longstanding funeral home welcomed the public to see the results of a three-month-long effort to update its functionality, comfortability and visual appeal. 

According to Clearstone Memorial Partners Regional Manager Tyler Clark, the facility has been redone top to bottom. New furniture, tech equipment, electrical amenities, redone floors and a new paint job were all put in place.

Renovations also included converting under-utilized space into a cafeteria, complete with a small kitchen and space for dining. Clark said the space can be used for any event, including ones not related to funeral service.

"Before, it was an unusable room that wasn't functional," Clark said. "Now, it's a multipurpose cafeteria that can be used by the public for anything... It's more of a community-sourced room that doesn't necessarily need to be about being in the chapel."

The first thing customers see when they walk into Two-Shy Brewing Roseburg's tap room is a sign over the door that reads "Two Shy: Where friendships are brewed." According to co-owner Danielle Hruda, it's what the business is all about.

"I love beer, I'm definitely an IPA girl, but my favorite part is the people and getting to support the community," Hruda said.

It has been nearly a decade since jazz singer-songwriter Halie Loren last performed with Umpqua Community College's (UCC) music department. On Tuesday, when she returned to the campus after years of international tours, all she could think about was how thrilled she is to be there again.

"I absolutely loved the energy of working with a group of up-and-coming young vocalists. I'm so glad I get to repeat that this year," Loren said.

This Friday, Loren and pianist Matt Treder are performing with UCC's Umpqua Singers vocal jazz ensemble and the Umpqua Chamber Orchestra. The concert's setlist includes a variety of jazz standards and original compositions.

Both based in Oregon, Loren and Trader have collaborated on five albums across their careers. According to Loren, her work has connected with audiences in North America, Europe and Asia, and has topped jazz charts for Billboard Japan, iTunes and Amazon.
