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. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

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.

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.

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.

One occupant of an apartment was sent to the hospital, while firefighters stopped a residential structure fire from spreading to the adjacent apartments Friday afternoon. According to a press release from the Roseburg Fire Department, multiple calls of black smoke in the 2400 block of W. Harvard Avenue were reported to Douglas County Emergency Communications at approximately 3:20 p.m. Those reports also indicated the location of the smoke was a four-unit apartment building, and that there were residents still inside. With a fire station just five blocks away from the scene, firefighters arrived quickly and rescued a single occupant from the active fire. That person had not yet been identified, nor has their condition been reported, but they were transported to the hospital. Firefighters also extinguished the fire immediately and kept it contained to a single apartment in the single-story four-plex building. Multiple searches of the apartment were conducted in order to confirm no one else was inside the apartment. Firefighters remained on scene until the apartment was cleared of hidden hot-spots or smoldering materials. According to the press release, a fire investigator also responded to the scene and was able to confirm the fire had been accidental. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

The Thundering Waters: Upstream Healthcare WOWtruck is newly organized, filled with games and activities and ready for the upcoming busy months as the schedule fills out for the rest of the year. Thundering Water Vice President Cordell Smith said the truck has around 35 events on the schedule for the rest of the year, and this keeps increasing as more people book summer plans. Last year, it went to 21 events. "We're kind of an attractant," Smith said. "The gatherings and events that they're already doing, it just makes them more attractive and brings a bigger audience for them." Thundering Waters Operations Manager Hope Assink said her job is to go around to the community, look at sites and schedule new people so they will be at more and more events as time goes on. "We're excited for our community to just get involved and be able to have somewhere to go and something to do that presents activities for families to participate in together in healthy eating, healthy living," Assink said. She said she is excited to see the positive atmosphere for youth to participate in and also a spot for youth to work. The organization employs staff members over 14 years old, to help set up things, show how to use the games and activities and repack the truck after the events. It also uses volunteers of all ages who apply. Assink said it takes over two hours to set up and about two hours to take it down. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

For many Oregonians, an in-person, front-row seat to an Oregon Supreme Court hearing is unfeasible. But on Thursday, students from high schools across Douglas County were given that opportunity with a series of live hearings held at Umpqua Community College. Across the morning, students attended two live hearings in which the panel of justices heard briefs from appellants and respondents regarding appeals, providing them with information to help make decisions down the line. The event was a collaboration between the Oregon Supreme Court and Civics Learning Project, an organization which provides students with opportunities to attend and learn from civics-related processes. According to Civics Learning Project Executive Director Sam Kang, the goal of events like live hearings is to educate students on how democratic government functions. "We're trying to make students see that democracy is accessible, it's real and it deals with real people that deal with real life issues," Kang said. "Democracy is local. It happens right here in the community, so that's what we're trying to show." Following each hearing, students were allowed to ask justices questions regarding their jobs, such as what to do when ethical concerns come up or how they chose their professions.

More than 1.3 million people visited the Roseburg area last year, and they collectively pumped more than $85 million into the local economy, according to a presentation delivered Thursday to the Roseburg Economic Development Commission. The presentation was provided by RaeAnn Malone, destination marketing manager for Experience Roseburg, which is the tourism marketing campaign created by Anvil Northwest, the designated Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) for the city. “What we found were that seven out of 10 visits were repeat guests, which speaks well to people’s experience here,” Malone said, adding that the strongest draws were Wildlife Safari and the Tokatee and other area waterfalls. “Those are the attractions that bring people here and keep them coming here,” she said.
