The Oregon School Activities Association Executive Board voted to approve a new classification and districting plan during a meeting Monday in Wilsonville.

The new plan brings a few changes for Douglas County schools, including significant alterations for Roseburg High School, South Umpqua High School and North Douglas High School. 

Every four years, the OSAA — the governing body for high school sports and activities in Oregon — evaluates its current classification and districting plan for the nearly 300 high schools around the state. 

The OSAA's Classification and Districting Committee has worked since August to reach a final recommendation for the OSAA Executive Board to approve. The committee came up with eight drafts before sending a final recommendation to the Board on Dec. 2.

SUTHERLIN — "Add Pickleball to Central." "Extend Red Rock Trail East." "More play equipment at Hartley." "Covered indoor riding arena."

These were just some of the ideas of parks improvement shared by Sutherlin community members and jotted down on sticky notes for Sutherlin city officials during the Parks and Recreation Plan open house.

The event, held Monday evening at the Sutherlin Community Center, invited the public to view the current progress of the production of a Parks and Recreation Plan for the city and share their own thoughts on what should be prioritized.

The last time Sheri Bleu met with the board of the Umpqua Public Transportation District, she was chief financial officer. Now, she's general manager. 

At the time of the last meeting, there was hope of a temporary increase of state funding for public transit. Now, that hope is starting to fade. 

The temporary increase was due to come from House Bill 3991. Records of the Oregon Secretary of State confirm that on Friday, the petition to send portions of the bill to the voters was submitted to its office. 

193,987 unverified signatures reportedly supported the petition, and will now have to be verified. Only 78,116 of them are required to push the petition forward.

OREGON — Oregon State Parks will host Winter Whale Watch Week along the Oregon coast from Dec. 27-31.

A release said trained volunteers will be stationed at 14 sites along the coast from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day to help visitors spot gray whales on their southward migration to the calving lagoons in Mexico.

The sites are some of the best places to watch for whales on the Oregon coast. A map of volunteers-staffed sites is available at tinyurl.com/msfyzbw7. The Umpqua Lighthouse is listed as the sole Douglas County location.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced an end to an Unusual Mortality Event impacting gray whales in 2023 when it looked like the population was rebounding. But since then, the population has declined to its lowest level since the 1970s. NOAA now estimates about 13,000 gray whales along the West Coast.

GLENDALE — The efforts of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office were reportedly rewarded with a consolation prize Thursday morning. Deputies didn't find the person they were looking for, but found another person they had been looking for. 

Meanwhile, Corey Lee Lange, 52, recently of Redmond, is still wanted by authorities and may be armed, based on the information released by the sheriff's office.

Lange is described in prior court records as 5 feet 11 inches in height and 250 pounds, with brown hair and eyes. 

Anyone with information on Lange's location is being asked to contact the sheriff's communications center at 541-440-4471, in reference to their case number 25-4207.

Oregon State University Extension Service Douglas County hosted its festive Flowers for a Cause workshop Saturday, filling the auditorium with the scent of flowers, evergreens and the creative energy of dozens of community members eager to learn a hands-on craft.

The workshop was led by newly graduated Master Gardener™ volunteer Peg Sullivan — a long-time professional floral designer whose decades of experience and easygoing teaching style helped participants of all skill levels feel confident from the very beginning.

Throughout the morning, Sullivan guided participants step-by-step through the process of creating wearable floral art. Participants learned how to shape and wire their own corsages, boutonnières and floral crowns, gaining insight into professional floral techniques while enjoying the relaxed, social atmosphere.

Roseburg prides itself on its pioneer history, but few local businesses can say they’ve actually served the towns earliest residents. Wilson’s Chapel of the Roses is one of them, having processed and handled the remains of locals for over a century.

With 125 years in business, Wilson’s is one of the only funeral homes in Oregon to offer on-site crematory services through Roseburg Crematory.

Throughout its history, it has maintained a dedication to serving veterans, helping to prepare veterans for proper burials at the Roseburg Memorial Gardens.

Now, the funeral home is both celebrating its history and looking to the future with a comprehensive remodeling effort that will modernize its look.

Christopher Michael Garrison, 36, is believed to be on the run. According to records of the Douglas County Circuit Court, a warrant was issued Wednesday for his arrest. 

Garrison was released Monday from the Douglas County Jail, but court records indicate his only connection to Douglas County is his alleged involvement in a multi-city crime spree on or about Dec. 1-2. They also indicate he was due back in court Wednesday, but did not appear. 

The precise timeline remains under investigation, but it appears to have been revealed on the morning of Dec. 1 when multiple Oakland residents awoke to find their vehicles had been forcibly entered and pilfered.

A firearm is reportedly missing from one of those those vehicles, according to court records and the Sutherlin Police Department.

Rural areas often struggle with key areas of community support compared to urban areas, and Douglas County is no exception. But just in time for the holidays, an extra financial boost has arrived to improve it.

On Dec. 8, Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) awarded a collective $200,200 to 11 organizations across Douglas County. The money was disbursed as a part of the group's 2025 Fall Community Grants, which accounted for a total $5.1 million in grants across the state.

In Douglas County, those grants are intended to support organizations that help with housing, food, economic development and wildfire related issues.

Douglas County has been fined more than $35,000 by the state Department of Environmental Quality for not conducting required air quality testing at the landfill.

In an October letter notifying the county of the enforcement action, the DEQ said the county had failed to conduct quarterly testing for methane gas emissions at the landfill, as required. Methane gas is caused by decomposing waste, and is considered harmful to people and the environment.

The landfill, which the county has owned since 1975, is located on McLain Avenue north of Green. The site includes a system designed to collect and control methane gas emissions.
On Wednesday, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners held a meeting in which it recognized both members of Oregon's armed forces and the accomplishments of county staff.

National Guard Birthday proclamation

The meeting opened with a reading of a county proclamation that recognizes Dec. 13 as the 389th birthday of the U.S. National Guard.

According to the proclamation, the U.S. National Guard's roots go all the way back to America's colonial days, when it was founded in 1636. Today, the group has grown to 450,000 members.

George Erickson Perez, 39, of Riddle, asked the judge Monday afternoon if he could address the court. Judge Jason Thomas told Perez it may not be the best time to do so. 

Perez was being arraigned Monday in Douglas County Circuit Court on what seemed to be simple charges of possession and delivery of fentanyl. According to the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team, however, the case may not be so simple. 

The Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team (DINT) was reportedly on to Perez because of a suspicious death. The investigation of that death indicated it had likely been caused by an overdose of fentanyl, a schedule II narcotic.

A press release from DINT identified the decedent as Zachary Slaymaker, 34, of Roseburg. Slaymaker was reportedly found deceased in his residence, on Grange Road in the Green area, early Dec. 4.

OAKLAND — Phil and Kim Adams have owned Oakland Tree Farm for 31 years.
"We were young and ambitious and wanted something more. I was a forester by profession, and I got hooked up with the community of folks that were growing trees in the area, and we started leasing property to grow wholesale trees," Phil Adams said.

It evolved from there, he said, to the point where, when the Oakland Tree Farm went up for sale, the couple took the jump. As Kim Adams described it, "It's Phil's hobby gone mad."

The farm offers U-cut trees, pre-cut trees, flocked trees, wreaths and more.

Kim Adams said the farm provided a good place to raise the family, as the couple bought the farm when their children were four, six and eight years old. Now all the children are out of the house, but they still come back on the weekends and help run the farm.
