On Wednesday, the Oregon Board of Parole denied a bid for the release of Dustin Wallace, convicted in 2012 for the murder and rape of 5-year-old Sahara Dwight at a west Roseburg home in 2010. Wallace, now age 32, was tried as an adult after the crime took place when he was 16. Wallace was from Oklahoma but was visiting his father, who was in a relationship with the girl’s mother at the time of the crime. During a nearly six-hour hearing at the Oregon State Prison in Salem, Wallace said he did not believe he should be released yet. Wallace said, “I’m not ready”, and cited a need for further personal growth and treatment for his behavior. Wallace told the board he felt he could safely return to society in between one and three years. Wallace expressed remorse for the crime during a portion of the hearing and stated he didn’t want the victim’s family to endure additional trauma by participating in the hearing.

Most fine artworks are stationary, unmoving from where they were places as fixtures of a space or setting. But this week, two Roseburg High School (RHS) students got the chance to see their works in a unique context; Not in a gallery and not as a wall mural, but on wheels. On Thursday, Roseburg Disposal presented the winners of a local art contest, Bailey Wilcox and Sage Polomares, with $500 prizes and unveiled two new wraps on the side of the company's garbage trucks which feature their art. The winners were both students of RHS art instructor Mary Eckman, who collaborated with Roseburg Disposal to turn a class assignment into an opportunity for the public to celebrate student arts.

As summer approaches, cities across Douglas County are finalizing their budgets for the upcoming fiscal year. On Tuesday, Myrtle Creek became one of the first to do so when the city approved their 2026-27 budget and urban renewal general fund and debated changes to the Urban Renewal District Building Improvement Grant Program. After deliberations, the Myrtle Creek City Council approved the fiscal year (FY) 2026-27 budget, which totals to $22,910,521, an increase from the FY 2025-26 budget total of $19,401,862. The majority of that larger budget is due to sizable increases for the public safety fund, which increased from the FY 2025-26 total of $105,707 to $2,609,585, and the sewer utility fund, which increased from a total of $2,417,055 go $3,821,963. According to City of Myrtle Creek Finance Officer Lesley Hiscocks, the increase to the former is due to seismic improvements to the Myrtle Creek Police Department, funded by a grant which does not require a match. As for the sewer utility fund, the increase is due to the city taking over operation at the Myrtle Creek Golf Course, which the city took over in May 1. "We've owned the golf course, but always leased it out in the past," Hiscocks said. "The company that was running it decided not to continue their lease and we didn't have anybody come forward that was eligible to run it, so we decided as a city to run it. We added a whole new department (for) the golf course. It includes employment, mowers and carts." After approving the budget and concluding their city council meeting, the council reconvened as the City of Myrtle Creek Urban Renewal Agency, where they approved the urban renewal general fund, which amounts to $1,926,288 for FY 2026-27.

On Tuesday, the Winston City Council held a meeting in which they approved an ordinance imposing a moratorium on new or additional marijuana business licenses. During the city meeting, the council moved to adopt Ordinance No. 26-273, which places a permanent moratorium on issuing new and additional marijuana business licenses. The ordinance does not affect existing marijuana business licenses. According to Winston City Manager Thomas McIntosh, the ordinance’s purpose is to comply with House Bill 4121, which went into effect in March 2024. The bill imposes restrictions on the amount of marijuana business licenses an area may have based on the size of its 21-and-older population. According to the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, HB 4121 requires the commission to only accept new production and retail licenses when there is not more than one active license per 7,500 estimated 21-and-older residents. According to Ordinance No. 26-273, Winston currently only has one active license with a population of 5,607 21-and-older residents. The adoption of the ordinance comes after the council approved Ordinance No. 75-724, which allows recreational marijuana facilities to operate within Winston, in August 2025. In an October 2025 interview, McIntosh said the city estimates an additional $120,000 in revenue per year to be raised. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

The No. 2 South Umpqua softball team defeated No. 3 Yamhill-Carlton 5-0 on Tuesday in the semifinal game. Yamhill-Carlton ends the season 26-4 overall.

On Monday, representatives from the Boys & Girls Club of the Umpqua Valley (BGCUV) and Panda Express met to celebrate the grand opening of the club's newest resource for enriching the lives of children: a Panda Cares Center of Hope. Built into a renovated room within the club, the center serves as a multi-use learning space where youth can, among other uses, receive help with homework, read, play or take a break to self-regulate emotions. Among the center's features are educational games and books, toys and a smart board. BGCUV CEO Troy Johns said the center helps the club access new resources for children. "You get to bring all of the knowledge that's been developing over time that you haven't been able to finance," Johns said. "With an opportunity like this and this kind of community support, we get to bring the latest and greatest to the youth here." The renovation was made possible with a $45,000 donation-funded grant from the Panda Cares Foundation, a philanthropic branch of the Panda Express corporation. According to BGCUV CEO Troy Johns, over 300 clubs received applications for grants, with BGCUV among the 50 selected and the first to launch its Center of Hope this year. Helping cut the ribbon for the center was Isaac Heard, general manager of Roseburg's Panda Express location, who was a member of the year at the BGCUV in his own childhood.

When Peppypotamus closed its Roseburg location on May 1, Douglas County families lost not just a place to buy and trade-in used children's clothing and childcare supplies, but a place to build community. Now, a new business is carrying on its spirit in the same location. On June 1, Timber Tots Trading Company celebrated its soft opening at 250 NE Garden Valley Blvd., welcoming in customers to browse their collection of resale children's clothing, toys, books, shoes, maternity wear, childcare supplies and more. The business is the brainchild of owner Kristen Mead, a former three-year employee of Peppypotamus who was approached by her former bosses to take over the space. A mother herself, Mead said she's enthusiastic about bringing affordable options to parents. "It was a very quick, rapid process. We found out, bought it, switched it all over in, like, a month," Mead said. "I'm very glad we were able to make it happen because I know, for me, my first thought was 'I don't even know what it's going to look like to clothe my kids now,' so we are so excited." Like its predecessor, Timber Tots functions as a trade-in resale store where customers can bring in used items for store credit. However, Mead said the business also allows customers to donate their credit to local organizations, such as Safe Haven Maternity Home or The Hope Clinic, to help them support families in need of resources.

EUGENE — Collin Groth of Glide High School said he couldn't believe it when he saw his name at the top of the standings on the screen after the 400-meter race on Friday. "I didn't think it was real at first," Groth said. "It was crazy. "I feel amazing, I knew it was going to be a good race, everyone else had an amazing race. It was just super surprising to be here, and be able to do that." Groth won the 400 meters in the boys Class 3A category at the 2026 OSAA State Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene. The meet stretched Thursday-Saturday, with most small school athletes competing Thursday and Friday while Roseburg athletes saw field time on Saturday with other big school competitors. Groth, a sophomore, used a personal-best 49.55 seconds to win the 400m title. He placed third in the 200m with a time of 22.83 seconds and ended in fifth place in the long jump finals (21-0.75). He said throughout the season, the Glide track and field team as a whole seemed to be more serious and intentional in practices. "We've adapted a lot more this year," Groth said. "So practices have been a lot more serious, and we've just gotten a lot better because of that." For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

On a day where Umpqua Valley Christian coach Dave York said the pitching and defense wasn't at its best, junior Ryan Shaver took up the slack with his best offensive game of the year. Shaver was 4-for-4 with eight RBIs and UVC powered its way back to the Class 2A/1A state semifinals with a 15-7 win over Heppener/Ione on Friday at Champion Car Wash Field. The Monarchs will head to Turner, Ore. where they'll face Crosshill Christian in their fourth consecutive semifinals appearance at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. "It's just so cool to see these guys accomplish something that no one thought they were going to do. Really proud of them," York said. Shaver's biggest swing of the game came in the second inning with two outs and the bases loaded. The junior blasted a 1-0 pitch from Mustangs' starter Keaton Coiner well beyond the left field fence for a grand slam that put Umpqua Valley Christian (23-6) ahead 8-1. "Right after I made contact I knew it was going. Just the adrenaline carried me to still sprint (towards first base)," Shaver said. It was the first home run of the season for Shaver who said "It felt so good. It felt amazing." For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

Across his career as a teacher in Douglas County, Martin Follose has dealt with students who have a tendency to lash out or, often due to unfortunate circumstances unseen by the average person. Now, he's debuting a brand new original play with the Umpqua Actors Community Theatre to show the public, and anyone going through difficult times, that there is hope. The play, directed and written by Follose, is "The Cuckoo Clock," which debuts at the Betty Long Unruh Theater on June 4 and runs Thursdays through Sundays until June 21. The story follows Mark and Ethel, a grandson and grandmother who are forced to live together in the midst of their own personal tragedies. As they work to find a way through their struggles, they will learn about the power of love and hope in the face of regrets and traumas. Follose said he was inspired to write the story following a personal experience with an out-of-control student, who lived with a loving yet overwhelmed grandmother, who was going through personal struggles. He hopes the story encourages viewers to withhold judgement on others who may have more going on behind the scenes. "I hope that they understand when they see a kid at school or on the streets or something, they never know what that kid is going through," Follose said. "I want people to understand there are kids who can rise above all that and there are kids who cannot...that kid they're looking at, that may not be the perfect kid, may have a thousand reasons not to be a perfect kid and none of it is their fault."

Sutherlin High School senior Elizabeth Britton said the symphonic band went to the OSAA Class 3A State Band Championship with hopes to place on the podium. "We got to go to state, and we were not really expecting anything big, we're just gonna try out best and have fun," Britton said. "And I think that's really what helped us get through it, you know, we just did it for fun and for the experience."
