Children couldn’t even wait for the ribbon to be cut to start climbing up, sliding down and running through Roseburg’s new Brown Park expansion, which was opened to the public on Wednesday afternoon.

The new expansion, located at the corner of West Harvard Avenue and West Francis Street, features a brand new turfed playground, complete with slides, a merry-go-round, climbing walls, a seesaw and more, as well as a new parking lot ADA accessible parking and walkways.

According to Roseburg Parks & Recreation program manager Val Ligon, the expansion is nearly 20 years in there making, first identified in a master plan back in 2008.

The ball got rolling on the project in mid-2023, when Amy LaGrander, daughter of former Oregon State Attorney General and Supreme Court justice George M. Brown, reached out to move forward with selling the property for the expansion.

A major step forward for the expansion’s progression was achieved in September 2023, when the Trincheros family purchased the property for $150,000 and donated it to the city, covering the cost for them. A 2024 grant worth over $667,000 from the Oregon State Parks’ local government Grant Program pushed it even further.

Wasilla (7-11-1) will return to Alaska Thursday to finish out its Legion season.

Weather and workload permitting, two prescribed pasture burns have been scheduled for Wednesday within the Douglas Forest Protective Association protection district.

DFPA Public Information Officer Rachel Pope said prescribed pasture burns are conducted to improve grazing lands for livestock, enhance wildlife habitat, and control noxious weeds, brush, insects, and plant diseases. Pope said historically, local landowners have conducted approximately 10,000 acres of prescribed burning annually throughout Douglas County to improve pasturelands and maintain healthy landscapes.

These burns also play an important role in wildfire prevention by reducing the buildup of grass, brush and other combustible vegetation. Fire officials note that many wildfires have been more easily contained in areas where prescribed burning has been conducted regularly.

Pope said to ensure public and firefighter safety, prescribed burns are carefully planned and conducted only after fire trails have been established, adequate personnel and fire suppression equipment are in place, and weather conditions are favorable. Burns are scheduled only when fire behavior and atmospheric conditions are expected to minimize smoke impacts on nearby communities by directing smoke away from larger populated areas.

Spiderking Studios is currently in production on its sixth feature film, IT CALLS, a psychological cosmic horror film inspired by the mythos created by H.P. Lovecraft. Filming began in mid-May and is taking place throughout Roseburg, Bandon and other locations across Southern Oregon, with production expected to wrap on Aug. 1.

Produced on a $10,000 budget raised entirely through crowdfunding, IT CALLS represents Spiderking Studios' most ambitious production to date. The independent feature blends psychological horror with cosmic dread while exploring themes of grief, insignificance and identity.

The film follows Charles, a man haunted by the death of his partner in a drunk-driving accident. After abandoning his former life to disappear into a quiet coastal town, Charles attempts to numb himself through routine and isolation. But reality begins to unravel as visions bleed into waking life, reflections speak back, and the ocean itself appears to be watching him.

The production has already generated significant interest online, with behind-the-scenes videos accumulating millions of views across social media platforms as audiences follow the film's development.
