The Roseburg volleyball team fell short in a competitive Southwest Conference match with Grants Pass on Thursday night.

The Cavers handed the Indians a loss in five sets at Robertson Memorial Gym. Scores were 17-25, 25-23, 25-18, 13-25, 15-10.

It was Pink Out Night for breast cancer awareness. Grants Pass (4-11, 2-5 SWC) avenged a four-set loss to Roseburg in Grants Pass on Sept. 9.

The Indians dropped to 3-10 on the season and 2-5 in conference. No individual statistics were available.

In other SWC action, Sheldon defeated North Medford 25-20, 26-24, 22-25, 25-21; and South Eugene beat Willamette 25-9, 25-7, 25-9. The Irish (15-3, 7-0) are atop the conference standings. 

Roseburg travels to North Medford Tuesday.

Wednesday marked 10 years since the Umpqua Community College shooting, when a lone gunman opened fire in Snyder Hall Room 15. Nine died, eight others were wounded and the community was forever changed.

In an effort to honor the lives lost that day, The News-Review attempted to get a glimpse at who these individuals were whose lives were so tragically cut short that day.

Every theater kids dreams of their chance to visit Broadway, arguably the heart and soul of American theater. For the Umpqua Actors Community Theatre's (UACT) youth actors, that dream will become a reality after the group's latest production, "Snapped."

"Snapped" is an original play written and directed by UACT Board of Directors President Martin Follose which follows Lester, a nerdy high schooler, as he tries to navigate bullies, crushes, school dances and chess club games.

While it seems Lester can't catch a break, he soon discovers he has a special power: to freeze time by snapping his fingers. While Lester finds he can use this power to find easy solutions to his issues, he soon learns that it also comes with consequences.

According to a press release from the office of Monique DeSpain for Congress, DeSpain has launched her campaign for Oregon's 4th Congressional District, hoping for a rematch against incumbent Congresswoman Val Hoyle (D-OR) in November 2026.

"I am running again because I refuse to give up on the people of this district. Oregon has endured too many tough years as Hoyle and Oregon's political elites have delivered rampant homelessness, unsafe streets, rising prices, and declining living standards," read a statement from DeSpain. "It's time for Oregon's comeback, and as an outsider to our failed political system, I am ready to lead it." 

DeSpain's press release described her as a retired colonel of the United States Air Force who served for 30 years, and as a mother who raised twin boys in Eugene.

he jury deliberated a full day before convicting Joshua Michael Powell, 44, of Springfield, on multiple charges committed during a brief crime spree in 2023.

Last Friday in Douglas County Circuit Court, Powell was found guilty on 23 of his 27 charges. His sentencing is set for Oct. 13. 

A contentious trial, which saw the jury dismissed from the courtroom several times while the parties argued various motions and objections, lasted for two week.

The case went to the jury at 4 p.m. Sept. 25, but the jury had to come back and deliberate until 4:15 p.m. Sept. 26. 

Powell's crimes stemmed from an attempted drug deal in Sutherlin in the summer of 2023. He was arrested a day later, and has been in the Douglas County Jail ever since.

In 1993, two cities nearly 5,000 miles apart came together under a common value: to learn from each other and celebrate both similarities and differences.

On Thursday, those values carried into the present when a group of delegates from Kuki-Shi, Japan, arrived in Roseburg for a week of tourism and cultural exchange.

After flying in to the Eugene Airport, delegates took a ride to Umpqua Community College (UCC), where they met with their host families. For some returning delegates, it was a chance to see old friends and catch up, as hugs were exchanged and tears were shed.

For Koji Kazaki, who is visiting Roseburg for the second time as a delegate, he was unable to choose what his favorite part about the city is. He does, however, have a particular affinity for the wilderness.

"It's so different than Kuki City," Kazaki said. "Mountains, nature, trees. I love this nature."

A decade after the tragedy at Umpqua Community College, the school is reeling and healing from yet another catastrophic event.

Johnathan James Dowdy is in the custody of the Oregon Department of Corrections for causing the deaths of yet another UCC student, and her coach.

“We all know someone who was impacted,” by the crimes of Oct.1, 2015, said Cheryl McDonald, crisis program director for Adapt Integrated Health Care in Roseburg. “Everyone has some element of trauma.”

Douglas County District Attorney Rick Wesenberg agrees. His victim advocacy office would have been overwhelmed by the responsibilities of Oct. 2, 2015.

“We not only had the victim’s families, it was like the whole community had PTSD,” he told The News-Review.

Fortunately, several neighboring district attorneys sent their own victim advocates to work for Wesenberg in the days immediately after an offender intentionally took the lives of eight students and a teacher.

OREGON CITY — The Umpqua Community College women's soccer team defeated Chemeketa 1-0 on Wednesday in a South Region match. 

The Riverhawks are second in the NWAC South Region, right behind Chemeketa, with an overall record of 7-2-1 and 5-1-1 in the conference. 

Savannah Sanders scored the lone goal of the game in the 42nd minute for the Riverhawks. Siulose Jones contributed with the assist. Lola Maniscalco had two shots on goal. Kayden Twichell and Emersyn Gutierrez combined for five saves. 

Kimara Witham had two shots for the Cougars (2-8-0, 2-5-0). 

The Riverhawks will host Lane at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Sutherlin High School. UCC will play four of its last five games of the regular season at home.

WINCHESTER — The Umpqua Community College volleyball team overcame a two-set deficit, defeating Chemeketa in five in a Northwest Athletic Conference South Region match on Wednesday night in the UCC gym.

Scores were 17-25, 23-25, 25-20, 25-14, 15-8. The Riverhawks (4-10, 2-3 South) moved into sixth place in the league standings.

Kennedy Baylis Hines, a Roseburg High School product, and Natalia Flores Rojas shined for Umpqua. Hines finished with a match-high 15 kills and added nine digs and four blocks. Flores Rojas had 14 kills and three blocks.

The Riverhawks got 31 assists and 16 digs from Julianna Wandler, 28 digs from Gracelyn Jensen and five kills from Kaelyn Shoemaker.

Iana Benevides had 14 kills, Nadiah Luna contributed 10 kills and 15 digs, and Nicole Ebbs made 28 digs for the Storm (7-10, 1-4).

UCC will head to Gresham Friday to face Mt. Hood.

Consistency week in and week out. Play after play.

That’s the message for the Roseburg Indians as they get ready to host the North Eugene Highlanders in a Class 5A Special District 4 contest at 7 p.m. Friday at Finlay Field.

Roseburg (1-4, 0-3 SD4) is coming off its most competitive game since Week 1 at Barlow. The Indians were within one score against No. 7 Thurston before suffering a 26-14 loss for their fourth consecutive defeat.

“The highs were really high and the lows were something we’re going to need to fix,” Roseburg coach Matt Watson said. “We just feel like we’re getting some crucial mistakes at the worst possible times that are just killing drives or taking points off the board.”

Stuck in a rut, the Tribe haven’t shown any signs of letting up with its intensity.

“We’re all fighting. We’re fighting to get that win. Obviously it stings a little bit but we’re ready to bounce back and get that win for sure,” junior Caden Moon said.

Oregon Department of Education released the 2025 Statewide Assessment summative test scores and data Thursday. The department said while participation rates improved, and there were gains seen in math and English language arts (ELA) — overall achievement, however, still remains below pre-pandemic levels.

As a total population, the state of Oregon saw 89.2% of students, approximately 260,900, tested in English language arts, with 43% of those students rated proficient.

In mathematics, 88.4% — or 258,590 students — were tested for 31.5% proficiency rate, and in science 86.2% — or 110,620 students — were tested and 30.0% were scored proficient.

Here's how Douglas County schools stacked up.

WINCHESTER — Umpqua Community College's Chief Academic Officer Danielle Haskett greeted those gathered Wednesday around the memorial of the Oct. 1, 2015, deadly shooting at Umpqua Community College (UCC).

"Today we gather overlooking the beautiful Umpqua River with heavy hearts, united by the grief and loss that forever changed our lives," Haskett said. "We are here to remember, to honor and to hold close the memories of those we lost, as well as to support those who continue to carry the weight of that loss."

UCC held a moment of silence Wednesday to remember the act of violence that roiled the college community and Douglas County as a whole 10 years ago.

Those visiting the Umpqua Valley's wine country often are there to sit and sip while taking in the views. Once a year, the Umpqua Velo Club (UVC) gives wine enthusiasts and cyclists a new way to enjoy the region's scenery: On wheels.

This weekend, UVC is hosting the 2025 Vineyard Tour in Douglas County, inviting cyclists from far and wide to take part in a schedule packed with social gatherings, shopping, wine sipping and cycling.

"I'm excited about it. It's a good event for our club," UVC President Paul Whitworth said. "We're trying to support a lot of youth cycling initiatives in the Roseburg area and without this event, we can't really do those things."

On Sunday between 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., cyclists will take off from the Triple Oak Wine Vault in Oakland for a day of round trip bike rides. There are four in total, ranging from the relatively mild "Just A Sip" 17-mile route to the demanding "The Full Flight" 103-mile route.

YONCALLA — The city of Yoncalla had a full city council and a fuller agenda Tuesday evening, while it searches for a permanent city administrator and for a sheriff's deputy. 

The Yoncalla City Council held a work session, free of public comment, while it makes short-term plans for its long-term future. For example, it is still searching for an answer to public safety through a contract for law enforcement services. 

Helping steer the ship through this turbulence is Dan Chandler, who is working as Yoncalla's interim city administrator. Part of his work is to help find his replacement. 

Chandler, an attorney, was most recently the city manager of Bandon, in Coos County. Prior to that, he was for several years an assistant county administrator in Clackamas County, so he brought a variety of experience to the table Tuesday night.

Nearly a year and $60,000 later, the external investigation of the Roseburg City Council appears finalized. The Portland law firm of Beery, Elsner, and Hammond completed its review as requested by Roseburg's mayor, Larry Rich. 

The investigation was occasioned by the resignation of Kylee Rummel from the city council in January, and the reasons she stated in her resignation letter.

In that letter, Rummel was intentionally non-specific with allegations. "I will say though, that lines were crossed by certain members of Council, trying to use me to push their own agendas and even going as far to try to intimidate and influence my vote by threatening my job," she posted online. 

After reading Rummel’s statement, Rich outlined the next steps. He called the allegations “concerning” and emphasized the need for an investigation.

Wednesday marked 10 years since nine people were killed and others were wounded, many with lasting physical and emotional scars.

On Oct. 1, 2015, Christopher Harper-Mercer, 26, entered Umpqua Community College's Snyder Hall Room 15, where he killed Jason Johnson, Kim Dietz, Lawrence Levine, Lucas Eibel, Lucero Alcaraz, Quinn Glenn Cooper, Rebecka Carnes, Sarena Moore and Treven Anspach.

WINSTON — Sinah Pederson said the Douglas girls soccer team played very well Tuesday, bringing out positive intensity especially in the second half of the Class 3A/2A/1A Special District 4 soccer game against Glide.

"Our forwards were doing really great at crashing and following balls and getting open for passes and stuff," Pederson said. "We're definitely improving a lot, definitely from the beginning of the season, and we've been doing great this entire season."

The Trojans defeated the Wildcats 4-0 at Winston Middle School. Douglas is 5-1-2 overall and 4-1-1 in SD4.

CANYONVILLE — Lexi Castro and Lexi Possinger of Prospect Charter School said Tuesday the Southern Oregon Trade Career Expo seemed to be interesting and a good place to look for a career and get free stuff.

"I think there's a lot of selections and a lot to choose from, and it's a good opportunity to go and view all of them and see how different they are," Lexi Castro said of the selection of jobs and careers displayed at the expo.

She said she might want to go into the dental health care field upon graduating high school.

The Southern Oregon Trade Career Expo brought together students, parents, teachers, job seekers and others to the Seven Feathers Casino Resort conference room and surrounding parking lots Tuesday morning

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has delivered mail and packages across the country for 250 years. But in recent years, the Roseburg Post Office has relied more on Amazon and other courier services to help get these goods to their destinations.

On Tuesday, the agency decided it was time to boost its hands-on delivery service with a hiring event at the Roseburg Post Office, giving anyone a chance to step forward and try out for a position as a driver.

There two different kinds of positions open to applicants: Rural Carrier Associate (RCA) or Assistant Rural Carrier (ARC). While RCA's featured a more solid schedule with benefits, ARC's had more flexible scheduling opportunities, anywhere from seven days a week to holidays and weekends only.
