WINSTON — Kellan Little scored from third base on a throwing error in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Douglas High School baseball team walked off Glide 7-6 on Tuesday in a Far West League game.

The Wildcats were first on the board, taking 3-1 lead into the second inning. The Trojans woke up, as coach Dilan Martin said, in the top of the second and responded with six runs to take a commanding lead into the third.

The Wildcats tied the game in the top of the fourth, and it stayed 6-6 throughout the last two 1/2 innings until the walk-off run by Little ended the game.

"We started out the season not hitting the ball great and now we're starting to hit it," Martin said. "Now we got to field and hit and put it together for seven innings."

BLUE RIVER — The Roseburg High School girls golf team finished third in a field of 10 teams at the Tokatee Girls Invitational at the Tokatee Golf Club Tuesday afternoon. 

Sophomore Lana Silvestri led the way for the Indians, shooting a 2-under par 70 to win the individual title. She was five strokes better than the second place finisher, Chloe Johnston from Salem Academy. 

Silvestri was at even par when she made the turn and had birdies on two par-5 holes on the back nine. 

Mylie Ray, Roseburg's fourth-seeded golfer, had the second-best score for the Indians. The junior shot 97 to finish 18th. It was her second-lowest score of the season. 

The Roseburg girls will next compete in the Southwest Conference district tournament on Monday at Bandon Crossings.

The Roseburg Indians were three outs away from ending a three-game losing skid and picking up a much needed Southwest Conference baseball victory, but the South Medford Panthers rallied to win 12-7 and stun the Tribe Tuesday at Champion Car Wash Field. 

South Medford (12-7, 7-6 SWC) scored six runs in its final at-bats to overcome a 7-6 deficit. A Dalton Ruettgers single tied the game and Cole Johannes drove in the go-ahead run. The Panthers piled on with a two-run double by Grady Clark and a sacrifice fly from Easton Douglas. 

"Frustrating again, to have a lead going into the seventh inning and to unfortunately not only give up the lead, but give up a bunch of runs. It doesn't feel good at this point," Roseburg coach Troy Thompson said. 

"We've got to do some things a little cleaner defensively and certainly on the mound to give ourselves a better chance to win some of these tough league ballgames."

Harlee Agee tossed a one-hitter and early runs by Roseburg were more than enough as the Indians defeated South Medford 6-0 in a Southwest Conference softball game on Tuesday at the RHS field.

The Indians (12-6, 7-3 SWC) remained two games behind first-place North Medford (15-2, 9-1) in the conference standings. Grants Pass (11-6, 6-4) sits in third.

Agee, a junior right-hander, struck out 16 and walked one. Ashlyn Cooper had the lone hit for the Panthers (8-12, 6-7), who trailed 5-0 after two innings.

Ciera Singleton led Roseburg at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two runs. Danika Opp tripled and knocked in two runs, freshman Emma Cole had one hit with two runs and one RBI, and Cadence Ellenwood contributed one hit and one run.

Cooper took the loss, allowing five hits and five runs (three earned) over three innings.

The two teams will play a doubleheader Saturday in Medford, beginning at noon.

In a hearing April 17, Todd Vaughn's attorney gave a summary of the evidence they believe will overturn an election. Vaughn is represented by Stephen Joncus, as they contest Vaughn's 2025 loss for re-election to the board of directors of the Umpqua Public Transportation District. 

Vaughn, at the time an incumbent, was slightly ahead in the vote when the polls closed a year ago, but narrowly lost to former board member Natasha Atkinson once the final votes were reportedly counted a week later. 

The contested election is being heard by Judge Matthew Galli of Josephine County Circuit Court, as all judges in Douglas County recused themselves. The county, and County Clerk Daniel Loomis, are represented by outside counsel John DiLorenzo.

10 of the 13 candidates for Douglas County's Board of Commissioners (BOC) faced off for possibly the last time Thursday, in an atypical forum sponsored by the Umpqua Valley Republican Women and held in the Douglas County Courthouse Annex. 

In a format that included a lighting round, a two-minute drill and rebuttals of a reported allegation regarding all three incumbents having Jeeps, the forum moderated by Rep. Virgle Osborne (R-Roseburg) eventually allowed for each participant to make some points.

For a third consecutive meeting, multiple citizens took the podium in front of the Roseburg City Council and spoke out against the possibility of a federal immigration enforcement office in town. By a vote of 5-2, the council directed staff to prepare an ordinance clarifying the city's position. 

Although the vote was met with a standing ovation, the language of the motion may simply mirror the state laws on the subject, while adding language confirming that Roseburg welcomes all citizens. Mayor Larry Rich pointed out during the meeting that such a statement would also welcome federal immigration enforcement. 

The narrative began around March 20 when the United State System for Award Management announced, on behalf of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a solicitation of proposals for office space from private vendors. Roseburg was one of only two Oregon cities on the list. 

That solicitation was scheduled to have closed on April 15. During Monday night's regular meeting of the Roseburg City Council, city manager Nikki Messenger confirmed for the council that the city has received no updates on whether there were responses to the solicitation, nor whether the process is proceeding to the next step.

Roseburg is abundant in places to grab burgers, pizza or tacos, but one thing it notably lacks is a brick and mortar restaurant centered around chicken wings. This summer, that's going to change with the arrival of a Wingstop location.

The arrival of the restaurant chain was made evident last week when a sign was erected on the exterior of 2034 NW Stewart Parkway at the Roseburg Marketplace shopping center. 

In an email to KQEN News Radio, Wingstop corporate communications associate manager Lauren Gracey confirmed the location is slated to open this summer.

"The restaurant is currently tracking to open in late June (or) early July," Gracey wrote. "The restaurant will be franchisee operated, so we will not be involved in hiring decisions."

The decision to expand into Roseburg goes back to late 2025, when the City of Roseburg received, then reviewed and approved, a site review application for the store.

WINSTON — The Glide High School softball team came to play on Tuesday.

The Wildcats pounded out 18 hits in a 17-6 victory over Douglas in five innings in a Far West League game at the Trojans' field.

Glide (9-7, 6-1 FWL) moved into a tie with Douglas (8-5, 6-1) for second place behind South Umpqua in the league standings.

The contest ended early due to the mercy rule. Glide broke open a one-run game with 11 runs in the top of the fifth.

"Our bats got going. We've been working hard and our younger girls have been hitting better," Wildcats coach Jeremiah Murphy said.

On Monday afternoon, a group of students and adults gathered during a walkout at Roseburg High School to protest the potential arrival of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to Roseburg.

The demonstration was held at 2 p.m., just before the end of the school day, on a patch of grass across the road from the school’s entrance. There, a crowd waved signs for passing motorists and were met with cheers, jeers and honking horns.

The demonstration was held in response to a contract opportunity listed on the United States System for Award Management (SAM) website, in which ICE is seeking private office space or workstations in cities across the U.S.

Among the cities listed was Roseburg. According to the contract opportunity description, ICE would occupy the space for a 12-month term.

It's been over 30 years since The Ford Family Foundation chose Roseburg as its headquarters for providing grants, scholarships and other economic support to rural Oregon communities. Now, the foundation has announced a new project which aims to support its hometown directly.

On Tuesday, FFF announced the establishment of the Hometown Fund, a $10 million funding pool intended to support community projects across the next decade.

According to an FFF press release, the fund is intended for projects within Roseburg's city limits, with a focus on the corridor connecting the city's downtown to the Stewart Parkway area. FFF will consider capital requests as large as $1 million and pre-development planning requests up to $75,000 for the Hometown Fund.

According to FFF vice president of programs Keavy Cook, the foundation isn't starting the fund with a set idea of projects to support. Rather, the fund is intended for community members and groups to bring their ideas for fundable projects forward.

"We're not driving the story. They're coming through the Hometown Fund and telling us these ideas that they think are going to make the biggest impact for our kids and families, thinking about what makes it a livable place to be," Cook said.

FFF CEO Kara Inae Carlisle said she feels the Hometown Fund is an opportunity for the foundation to help support the next generation of Roseburg residents, making the city a better place to live for its children as they grow.

Representatives for a girl who suffers from severe disabilities is suing a man who authorities say sexually abused her for years, before he was arrested in February.

The lawsuit was filed April 15 in Douglas County Circuit Court. The name of the child is not listed in the lawsuit, which was filed by and through her guardian ad litem.

Gregory Wayne Van Edgom, 42, who has a lengthy criminal record including numerous charges of child sexual abuse, is the defendant.

The girl is seeking $8 million for alleged battery and abuse of a vulnerable person. Van Edgom does not have an attorney yet for the lawsuit and has not yet responded to it.

GREEN — The busy intersection where Highway 99S essentially merges with Highway 42, barely a half-mile west of the ramps of Interstate Five, got even busier the past decade with the development of Grant Smith Road to the south. A major truck stop at the top of the hill, followed by fast food restaurants along the route, are conveniently located off those highways.

It's also a risky intersection for pedestrians, some of whom have seemingly been at fault when struck by vehicles, and especially at night.

The four and five-lane highways are ringed by stoplights and crosswalks. There is no crosswalk on the east side of the intersection, however, and that's where the busiest stores are located, including on Highway 99S. 

The pedestrian crosswalk also does not extend across the entirety of Highway 99S on the north side of the intersection, in part due to a long, curving turn lane for vehicles, and a separated bicycle path.

Erika Dockweiler is returning to serve in Douglas County education for a second time, this time as the next superintendent of the Riddle School District.

"I'm absolutely honored and excited to come back to serve Riddle School District. Like I'm extremely excited," Dockweiler said. "I was at a spot with my career out here in Eastern Oregon, where I was able to pick where I would like to go next. I saw the Riddle posting, and I thought, how cool would it be to kind of come back home to Douglas County."

She'll finish out the year as the director of student services for the La Grande School District, where she oversees nursing services, mental health and behavioral programming, special education, and all of the 504 plans for the district.

The Roseburg Indians suffered a pair of frustrating losses to the Sheldon Irish in a Southwest Conference doubleheader Saturday at Champion Car Wash Field. 

Sheldon finished off a series sweep against Roseburg with 10-3 and 10-5 victories. It's the first conference series loss of the season for the Indians. 

"Frustrating for sure," Roseburg coach Troy Thompson said. "We had opportunities in both games, but unfortunately we just couldn't seem to kind of get out of our own way in a lot of situations."

Thompson said Roseburg struggled with a number of errors and mental mistakes that Sheldon capitalized on during the twin bill.

"We sure didn't play very sharp or very crisp today and it showed up, and credit Sheldon for putting on pressure and being aggressive and forcing us to do things that we didn't do very well," Thompson added.

"Resilience is what we build here, in our children and in ourselves." That statement was made not by a staff or board member, but by a client of the Family Development Center, which held its annual fundraiser and recognition luncheon Wednesday, at UCC's Lang Event Center. 

Those uncertain of what The Development Family Center is, or does, got an education Wednesday in presentations from its staff, clients, board members, and community partners: it does a little bit of everything, and a lot of some things. 

And there's a reason it's not called the child development center, nor the parent development center. They treat the entire family, sometimes beginning very early in their day, and life. 

"Parents are gaining tools and confidence. Families are finding hope in moments when they need it the most," Marsha La Verne told the audience. La Verne, the Executive Director of The Family Development Center, summarized just a few of their many programs. 

"Home visiting, respite care, therapeutic classrooms for children, parenting education, family support services...and praise for every parent," said La Verne. 

In addition to their Relief Nursery, the Family Development Center runs a pre-kindergarten, preschool program for kids aged six weeks to five years, and the therapeutic aspects of the programs are designed to treat trauma.

With ballots due to be mailed April 29 for the 2026 primary elections, The News-Review is profiling candidates for Douglas County's Board of Commissioners (BOC). All three positions on BOC are up for re-election this year, with 13 candidates in total. 

On Dec. 3, 2025, Shane Kelly filed for the Position One seat, according to the records of the Douglas County Clerk. Kelly was one of two Myrtle Creek citizens, one man and woman, respectively, to be recognized as their 2025 citizens of the year. 

Kelly's list of volunteerism shows why. He is the president of the Friends of Myrtle Creek Library, one of several non-profit organizations that popped up in Douglas County to create city libraries in the buildings formerly staffed by the county's library system. 

Kelly is also treasurer for the board of the Everyday Needs Network. In public statements on the campaign trail this spring, Kelly described that non-profit organization as taking on the mission of distributing fundamentals such as clothing and personal hygiene products to citizens in need. 

He is still appearing before the Myrtle Creek City Council as a member of its planning commission, consistent with his college course work and self-employment in construction design. Kelly's other recent volunteer efforts include project coordinator for the Riddle Activity Center project, chair of the Myrtle Creek Mural Commission, and work on its urban growth boundary.

Gracie Mello doubled in Jordan McArthur with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Umpqua Community College softball team snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 9-8 win over Centralia College in the second game of an NWAC South Region doubleheader on Saturday at the Stewart Park field.
