The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is warning the public of a new phishing scam involving text messages from an unknown phone number.

According to the release, this latest scam involves text messages which typically begin with urgent languages such as “Evasion Notice for Oregon Traffic Court” or “Final Notice – Toll Violation (Oregon).” These messages claim you have unpaid traffic fines or a toll balance and demand payment by a certain date to “avoid enforcement actions and penalties.”

Messages may go so far as to cite phony Oregon State Administrative Codes and urge recipients to click on a link that may seem valid because it involves ODOT, DMV or oregon.gov.

Over six years ago, Ragin' Reptiles Supply owner Kalee Duncan was terrified of snakes. Now, after falling in love with them and other reptiles, she and her family are looking to open a new storefront dedicated to giving them loving owners.

On March 2, Duncan is planning to open the second Ragin' Reptiles Supply location, expanding beyond Sutherlin. It will open in Roseburg at 1945 SE Stephens St.

"We're super excited," Duncan said. "It had been our dream for a long time to own a reptile shop, and the fact that we can own a second one is really exciting for us."

The original Ragin' Reptiles Supply, located in Sutherlin at 1000 W. Central Ave. in Sutherlin, is home to 25 different animals on display at a time, along with a full stock of reptile pet supplies. Complete with an egg incubation and hatching area in the back, there is an average of 300 reptiles on the premises at a given time.

Since its opening, the Duncan's have established a customer base across the country, ranging from Texas to Minnesota to Georgia and even the occasional Canadian shopper.

Authorities suspected immediately whom they were looking for the morning of Jan. 29 when calls started coming in about a shooting on the freeway. The defendant had been to the Roseburg office of the Oregon State Police twice, including that morning. 

According to court records, a man first went to the patrol office at Exit 129 on Wednesday, Jan. 28, with a message. He reportedly wanted the governor to know of his complaint about foreigners traveling on the freeway, and that he was going to take some form of action if it didn't stop. 

That first meeting was sufficiently concerning that employees got the man's license plate number and tentatively identified him as Charles Glen Simmons, 53, of Dillard, whom they did end up arresting the following day. 

In the meantime, Simmons stopped by again. On Thursday morning, as 911 calls started coming in around 8:20 a.m. about a shooting on the freeway, and a man asking about the loyalty of the victims to their country, an investigator made the connection to Simmons and his concerning visit to the patrol office the previous day. 

The investigator called the office to get Simmons' license plate number, and learned Simmons had just left. A employee of the patrol office reportedly recognized Simmons and locked the door, which Simmons allegedly beat on before giving up and leaving.

In the 25 years since Jayne and Dave Maley opened Cellars & Gifts in Roseburg, they’ve sold a countless amount of home decor, cookware, furniture, holiday goods, local wine and more. By the end of the month, that journey will come to a close.

On Monday, Cellars & Gifts announced via Facebook that it is closing its doors after two decades in business. It is aiming to close by the end of February and is offering a 30% off closing discount on most items until then.

According to Jayne Maley, the reason for the closure is simply because the couple is looking to scale back after years of running the business. They are downscaling to focus their efforts on Security Self Storage, their neighboring storage unit business.

After the Maley’s move out, Canyon Creek Bicycles is planned to move into the space from its current storefront at 1640 NE Odell Ave. in Roseburg.

For fundraisers dedicated to supporting individuals with illness, it's typically the recipient that shows gratitude for the effort. But for B's Sweet Treat's owner Brandon Ekman, that feeling goes both ways.

"I just think I'm grateful to be able to do it," Ekman said. "When we see another person in our community and their family really needs help and we're in a position to do it, we're going to do it."

On Wednesday, Ekman and the B's Sweet Treats crew partnered with the staff of Casey's Restaurant for a cancer fundraiser where all funds raised from 3-6 p.m. went directly to support a family in need.

By the end of the evening, $906 was raised for the family. Ekman then contributed $94 of his own to round the total out to $1,000.

The recipient, who wished to remain anonymous, is a former 12-year employee of Casey's Restaurant who became a beloved friend of the staff and owners over the years. The recipient is also a cancer patient and currently hospitalized from their illness.

Thurston, the No. 1-ranked wrestling team in Class 5A, had its way with 6A No. 6 Roseburg in their nonconference dual meet on Wednesday night at Robertson Memorial Gym.

The Colts of Springfield won 13 of 14 matches and handed the Indians a 67-6 loss, collecting six falls and two technical falls.

Thurston is favored to win the 5A state tournament this season after taking the Oregon Classic title and dominating the Reser’s Tournament of Champions.

Roseburg’s lone win came from sophomore 215-pounder Vai Polamalu, who pinned Jayden Barbosa in 5:16. Freshman Robert Elliott dropped a 7-6 decision to Thurston’s Jaxon Harada at 144.

Thurston won the junior varsity dual, 42-31, and picked up a 51-15 victory in the girls’ meet.

A 16-year-old is still in Douglas County’s Juvenile Court on allegations of the Jan. 2 stabbing death of a homeless man. Court records show that the investigation is continuing, but the charges have not been increased nor has the juvenile been moved into adult court.

The name of the juvenile, a male, has not been publicly released but court records confirm his case has been in front of two detention hearings and a pre-trial conference. Those records do not indicate that a trial has occurred.

The homicide occurred at approximately 8:30 a.m. on Roseburg’s Umpqua Greenway, a swath of grass that parallels the bicycle path between Deer Creek Park and Gaddis Park. The area has become Roseburg’s most dense camping area for the unhoused community.

The victim, James Wade Gage, was 60-years-old and had been camping on the greenway for a few months, according to witnesses. Court documents are starting to paint a picture as to how Gage became involved in the disturbance that resulted in his death.
