The Umpqua Valley Christian baseball team conquered Lowell 10-2 on Friday in a Special District 5 game at Champion Car Wash Field in Roseburg.

The wins bring the Monarchs up to a 10-win game streak, and improves the team's record to 13-5 and 9-0 in the SD5. With less than three weeks remaining in the regular season, Monarchs' head coach Dave York said the team is getting better each week.

"Certainly we haven't arrived yet, but I feel like we're playing better. The guys are competing together as a team and that always feels pretty good," York said.

Ryan Shaver ended 3-for-4 with two runs. Chrisenbery was 3-for-4 with four RBIs. Caleb Saylor and Teagen Sprague ended with two runs each. Saylor, Sprague, Justice Bendele and Caleb York each contributed one hit.

Chrisenbery and Shaver combined on the mound for 11 strikeouts, three walks and two earned runs.

In Friday's game, Wyatt Johnson was 1-for-3 with one run for the Devils (12-5, 3-5). Adam Davis was 1-for-3 with one RBI. Ben Thurman pitched five strikeouts, and allowed one walk and six earned runs during almost five innings on the mound.

Coach York said the much of the team's improvement throughout the season has come from the leaders stepping into the positions to lead the younger Monarchs. With quite a few new starters on the team compared to previous years, York said the athletes have been growing as they learn how to communicate and play together as a team.

"I think it's just a lot of growing that we needed to go through," York said. "Now we're starting to hit our stride."

Over the next few weeks, the focus is to keep the game in front of the Monarchs on the field, and not get too far ahead of themselves, with the idea to improve something every day. York said one area of work has been to stay more consistent on the offensive side.

"We're starting to get some good outings on the mound," York said. "I'd like to see us cut down on our walks."

The Monarchs will visit Oakridge on Monday.

It was early Saturday when a line of gardening enthusiasts, wheelbarrows in hand, had begun to snake through the Douglas County Fairgrounds. When the clock struck nine and the doors of the exhibit building opened, a frenzy ensued as they rushed to get their hands on one thing: plants.

The event was the Plant and Garden Expo, organized by the Douglas County Master Gardener Association. Attendees were invited to buy from a selection of hundreds of varieties of flowers, vegetables, herbs, trees, shrubs, houseplants and more.

Along with the plants, a variety of vendors sold their own gardening-related goods, such as seeds, tools, clothing, skincare products and more.

The annual event, now at its 39th year, has become something of a tradition for phytophiles from Douglas County and beyond. Longtime attendee Kara Schoonhoven said she appreciates how it continues to show Oregonians the value of gardening.

"I've been coming here for at least ten years, and every year it's getting bigger and bigger," Schoonhoven said. "It's good to keep on the tradition of growing your own vegetables and planting and having your hands in the dirt. That's so good for your mental health."

Typically, rockhounding requires a keen eye and sharp senses to find the valuable or interesting gems and minerals. But on Saturday, a selection of inorganic rarities from around the world was collected and displayed front and center at the Douglas County Fairgrounds for the Umpqua Gem & Mineral Club Annual Show.

The event drew in over 40 vendors to sell and display raw gems, minerals and rock, as well as jewelry and polished gemstones, for a crowd of rockhounds from across the state. At over 50 years in operation, the show is one of the longest running events at the fairgrounds.

According to Umpqua Valley Gem & Mineral Club President Darnell Hlavinka, the show is a chance to help the club gain exposure and show attendees who may not be familiar with rockhounding what makes the hobby fun.

"Our club has been in existence since 1939 and we're relatively unknown. A lot of people are surprised that there's a local rock club in Roseburg," Hlavinka said. "We want to turn non-rock people into rock people."

MEDFORD — The Roseburg Indians had 12 hits, including four doubles, in the nightcap of a Southwest Conference doubleheader against South Medford to escape with one win in the series and snap a five-game losing streak Saturday at Harry and David Field. 

The Indians poured it on the Panthers for an 18-7 victory in Game 2 of the twin bill, while South Medford started the day with a 3-2 comeback victory in Game 1. 

"Coming out on the wrong end of a 1-run ball game is never fun, but a good response by (our team)," Roseburg coach Troy Thompson said. "Our kids had some really great swings in the last couple of innings (in Game 2) and that was great to see for us. A little bit of hard work paying off."

Roseburg's win was loaded with offensive statistics. The Indians overcame a 4-2 deficit with nine runs in the fifth and seven runs in the sixth inning. Roseburg (11-8, 7-5 SWC) sent 13 hitters to the plate in both frames.

DRAIN — The North Douglas softball team defeated Umpqua Valley Christian/Camas Valley 13-3 on Wednesday in a Special District 5 game at Howard's Field.

The Warriors improved to 11-6 overall and 2-3 in league. Coach Shane Joslyn said it was one of the better games this year for the Warriors.

Payton Rabuck ended 3-for-4 two runs and two RBIs for North Douglas. Harper Frey was 3-for-4 with two runs and one RBI and Velia LeHolm was 2-for-2 with three runs and two RBIs. Paisley Muse allowed four hits with four strikeouts during the six-inning game.

UVC is 8-9 overall, 4-3 in SD5. Julia Johnson ended 2-for-3 with two runs and Kayleigh Johnson was 2-for-3 with two RBIs for the Monarchs. Hailee Tabor took the loss, walking three.

The Monarchs host Oakridge in Roseburg and North Douglas is at home against Lowell Friday.

Layla Andrews was named the Umpqua Wrestling Club’s first Quad State Champion after a season of destroying her competition.

The 12-year-old from Glide ended as the 2026 Oregon Classic Champion, Kids state champion, Middle School state champion, Freestyle state champion and Greco state champion, according to a Facebook post by the club.

She also won the OWA Folkstyle state title earlier in the year to achieve the Triple Crown award.

According to Jenna Andrews, Layla’s mother, these wins helped Layla Andrews secure a spot with the Oregon girls national dual team and a chance to travel and compete in Indiana in June.
EUGENE — The Roseburg track and field teams defeated Willamette and Elmira in three-way meets on Wednesday at Willamette High School.

Triangle Lake athletes also took part.

The Roseburg boys got individual wins from David Schmid in the 200 meters (21.96, PR), RJ Elliott in the 400 (54.91, PR) and 300 hurdles (43.24), Donnivan Stone in the 800 (2:10.42), James Randol in the 1,500 (4:25.64), Jamison Heath in the 3,000 (10:19.83), Remigio Huerta in the javelin (145-7).

GRESHAM — The Umpqua Riverhawks started Wednesday’s doubleheader against Mt. Hood Community College knowing they’ll be in the NWAC postseason when the regular season wraps up in less than two weeks, but seeding in the South Region remains up for grabs after UCC and the Saints split their midweek matchup.

Umpqua (22-14, 18-12 South) outlasted Mt. Hood (22-16, 16-14) for a 3-2 win in the opener. The Saints rebounded to take the nightcap, 7-2.

UCC remained in third place in the South Region after splitting the twin bill but, with six league games remaining, the Riverhawks could still win the league title or finish fourth.

“This is the most important month of our season,” Umpqua coach Jake Whisler said about the upcoming schedule. “We’ll see if we can’t play some better baseball down this last little stretch to push us over the top.”

Monique DeSpain is running again. Records of the Oregon Secretary of State confirm DeSpain, of Eugene, filed last October for another shot at Congresswoman Val Hoyle in Oregon’s 4th Congressional District.

Records also confirm DeSpain was the Republic nominee two years ago, won that nomination in the primary, then lost to Hoyle in the 2024 general election. DeSpain spoke with The News-Review last Thursday, April 23, regarding her candidacy.

Samantha “Sam” Frost filed to run for Douglas County’s Board of Commissioners (BOC) on March 10, after several candidates had already responded to a list of questions from The News-Review. Based on that, Frost submitted a similar set of responses to complete her profile.

Frost, however, has participated in three forums this spring, alongside both candidates and incumbents, so her philosophies on government and leadership are already a matter of record.

Frost filed for the BOC’s Position Two currently held by Commissioner Tim Freeman, who is running as an incumbent. The other candidates for Position Two are Brandy Stone and Shane Kelly.

According to Frost’s candidate filing, and her responses to The News-Review, her life of public service may have begun with her enlistment in the United States Air Force, but did not end there. In the meantime, she was assigned to a Security Forces Squadron in New Mexico, from which she served a deployment to the Middle East.

Sticking near law enforcement, Frost obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Forensic Science and Psychology, and began a career working in crime laboratories. She told The News-Review she worked for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the Idaho State Police, and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

Frost told The News-Review she returned home, where her family has roots in Douglas County dating to the 1850s, in order to be close to and assist with family who were experiencing a tough time.

Frost said her employment back in Douglas County has included substitute teaching, tutoring, and running her own dance studio. She told The News-Review so looked at the initial choices for commissioner, didn’t like what she saw, and decided to run.

On Wednesday, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners held a meeting in which they approved agreements with state and federal agencies and recognized the work of firefighters.

Agreement approvalsThe board of commissioners approved a number of agreements with state and federal agencies, three of which concerned funding for public works projects with no match needed from the county.

One of those three agreements was made between the county and United States Forest Service (USFS) for the Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project. In the agreement, the USFS will provide the county with a maximum of $6.1 million from its Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program.

The project focuses on the clearing of materials, such as dry brush or garbage, adjacent to county roadways which pose a fire risk.

Two other agreements were made between the county and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for design work related to roadway infrastructure projects.

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.
