Alexander Totoian won the boys singles competition, Alex Hoddle and Alex Howard combined for a second-place finish in the boys doubles and the Roseburg High School tennis boys team took a team win in the the Southwest Conference district championship on Saturday at the Umpqua Valley Tennis Center in Roseburg.

"Everyone played better than I could ask them to," Roseburg head coach CJ Ball said. "Everyone played well above expectations, even the players who didn't make it to Saturday did really well, and everyone contributed to the team win."

The boys competition began in Coos Bay on Thursday, before semi-final and final matches were held Saturday in Roseburg. In the semi-final match, Totoian defeated Ramin Abrahime of Roseburg 6-0, 6-1, then conquered South Medford's Alex Gurov 6-2, 6-3, in the finals to achieve the title. Abrahime placed fourth in the singles tournament after a loss to No. 3 Andy Brown of Sheldon (6-4, 6-2).

Hoddle and Howard lost in the championship match to No. 1 Yehuda Zaretsky and Jeremy Wang of South Eugene, 6-2, 7-6 for the second place spot. The Roseburg duo defeated Henry Smith and Jake Von Strahl of South Medford 6-3, 6-3 in the semifinals, South Medford's John Brooksby and JJ Von Strahl 6-1, 6-0 in round 3, and Carter Moss and James Pirosko of Grants Pass in round 2 after a bye in round 1.

Totoian, Abrahime, Howard and Hoddle will head next to the OSAA Tennis State Championships, held Thursday-Saturday at the Tualatin Hills Tennis Center in Beaverton.

On the girls side of the meet, Roseburg placed fifth with 16 points. South Medford won the meet with 34 points, South Eugene placed second with 28 and Sheldon was third at 24 points.

Anthony Bourdain once said "Barbecue may not be the road to world peace, but it's a start." Over the weekend, a horde of visitors from Douglas County and beyond got to experience that sense of community grilled and smoked meats inspire at the Third Annual Fly-In Pig Barbecue Competition and Chili Cookoff.

The event, which spanned Saturday and Sunday, brought professional and amateur barbecuers to Myrtle Creek for a weekend of smoking, grilling, slow-roasting and stewing as they competed to see who could produce the best meats and chili.

At least 35 competitors and an equal amount of vendors attended the event, making it the largest Fly-In Pig so far. Several of those competitors came from well beyond Douglas County, with visitors driving in from Washington, California and Canada.

That partly may be due to the competition's new status as a qualifier event for the Barbecue World Cup in Las Vegas, where winners can progress to compete further and potentially earn a $1 million prize.

The Roseburg Indians finished out the Southwest Conference season with a series win over the North Medford Black Tornado on Saturday at Champion Car Wash Field.

Roseburg and North Medford finished the league season tied for third, but the Indians own the tiebreaker and earned the conference's third automatic playoff berth. The Black Tornado will reach the postseason as an at-large team.

At most outdoor events in Douglas County, dogs are allowed but not the focus. On Saturday, dogs got their day of recognition with an event specifically for them with Barks & Recreation.

Organized by Saving Grace Humane Society, the event brought local vendors, food trucks and. veterinary staff to Stewart Park in Roseburg, where they spent the afternoon connecting with and providing services to dogs and their owners.

Alongside the treats, clothing, grooming treatments and more they could receive from vendors, attendees also took part in challenges such as a peanut butter eating contest to win prizes and get up-to-date on their pet's shots with a free mobile vaccination clinic.

Since its founding over 50 years ago, The FISH of Roseburg has grown to serve over 1000 families each month through food pantry services. To celebrate their history and future, the organization held a 55th anniversary celebration, complete with the unveiling of new resources and a community proclamation.

Held at their pantry at 405 Jerry's Drive in Roseburg, the event brought community members to have free hot dogs and hamburgers, listen to live music and tour the pantry to get an inside look at FISH's operations.

The organization used the celebration as an opportunity to unveil a new refrigerated food truck, a resource which allows FISH to better transport fresh or perishable goods from stores to the pantry and rural Douglas County.

"We had a really old van that just wasn't cutting it. In the summertime, we had to load stuff into coolers," FISH president Nis Jessen said. "(Now) we can put the palette in there and cut our time in half. We're also looking at doing a couple outposts, like down in Canyonville. If we do that, we can haul refrigerated stuff down there."

These logs are the highlights of initial calls and reports. They do not represent all incidents, nor their final outcomes.
On Thursday morning, a medevac helicopter, an armored SWAT rescue vehicle, a fire engine and members of the U.S. Army and Marines all arrived in Drain. But the visit wasn't emergency-related. Instead, it was an opportunity for guidance for youth.

The occasion was North Douglas High School's (NDHS) Third Annual Career Fair, where roughly 200 students from schools across Douglas County got the chance to connect with companies and organizations both local and from afar.

Across the day, students were bussed in to connect with medical professionals, tradesmen, law enforcement, educators, loggers, military servicemen and more to gain insight into possible careers.

According to NDHS principal Brandon Haberly, the fair has grown from year's past, with about 50 companies attending and twice as many schools pledging to participate compared to last year.

On Wednesday, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners approved an intergovernmental agreement between the county and the City of Roseburg to sponsor a housing rehabilitation program. In the agreement, it is written NeighborWorks Umpqua will enter a sub-recipient agreement with the City of Roseburg to help manage the program.

"The intergovernmental agreement allows this work to be done throughout the entire county, rather than just within the city limits of Roseburg, if the county signs onto it," Douglas County Commissioner Chris Boice said.

According to NeighborWorks Umpqua Director of Climate Resilience Alex Alonso-Gudiño, the program is funded by a $400,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), a type of grant aimed at developing urban areas for residents with low-to-moderate income. It was administered by the Oregon Business Development Department.

EAGLE POINT — The Roseburg girls golf team secured a berth in the Class 6A state championships with a second place finish at the Special District 3 Regional tournament Tuesday at Eagle Point Golf Club. 

The Indians (381) finished six-strokes behind Grants Pass (375) in the team standings. Both teams will compete in the two-day state championship tournament starting Monday at the OGA Golf Course in Woodburn. 

Lana Silvestri led Roseburg with a first place finish on the individual leaderboard. The sophomore had three birdies over the 18-hole course, but three bogeys and a double-bogey put her at 2-over for the round. 

Silvestri was 12-strokes ahead of second place. 

Alexis Williams (96) and Irelyn Weaver (98) both finished in the top 10 for the Indians. Raeleigh Traviss (113) and Mylie Ray (113) tied for 15th. 

This will be the first time Roseburg has had its full girl's team competing at state since the Indians finished 11th in 2019. Silvestri and Apollonia Heap qualified for state as individuals in 2025. 

Silvestri placed third in the individual standings as a freshman. Heap, now graduated, finished tied for 56th.
The Oakland Middle School hosted community members, staff, students and others in the new gymnasium in a Tuesday night open house to officially open the facility.

People showed up to tour the new gym and see the blue bleachers, six basketball hoops, a moveable stage for events, locker rooms and bathrooms, a concession stand right past the lobby and much more.

Oakland School District superintendent Jeff Clark said the new multi-use facility will be used for more than just the middle school sports.

"This building will house all of our district concerts starting next week on Thursday night," Clark said. "As well as our middle school sports contests, assemblies, youth sports and PE classes."

The construction also added a small parking lot with 39 spaces.
