Roseburg Police jailed a man following a kidnapping incident on Sunday night. An RPD report said at 7:00 p.m. officers responded to a residence in the 400 block of Northeast Winchester Street after a caller said there had been a violation of a no contact release agreement that was in place, prohibiting 48-year-old Joshua Hansen from contacting a victim. Officers spoke with a witness on the scene who reportedly observed Hansen grab the victim and carry her inside the residence. While at the front door, prior to attempting contact, officers heard raised voices and a loud thump coming from inside the home. After knocking on the front door for some time without a response, officers forced entrance into the residence. Officers contacted a clearly distraught victim who stated that Hansen was in the back bedroom. The suspect was found hiding under a blanket and was detained without incident. The victim stated that Hansen carried her into the residence against her will, then when she tried to yell for help, he covered her mouth, restricting her breathing. The victim was reportedly in substantial pain as a result of the incident. Hansen was charged with second-degree kidnapping, a felony count of strangulation, fourth-degree assault, first-degree burglary and violation of a release agreement. He was detained without bail.

SUTHERLIN — The Sutherlin High School football team shut out Elmira 49-0 in a wet, rainy game Friday night in Sutherlin. "We started the first half a little slow, which kind of seems like something we need to work on. But overall, we came out with a win, so that's going to help us," senior Beau Olsen said. "Hopefully, those guys can work in practice, get a little bit better, and go win a couple games for us." Sophomore Braxton Gary was 4-for-13 passing, with 89 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Sutherlin head coach Bret Prock said while the incompletions were the team trying to score before halftime, the interception was mostly due to the weather. Eden Cardoza caught two catches for 34 yards and one touchdown. "Blocking overall is a lot better (than last game)," Cardoza said. "We prepped it all week, really got on the line, which I love my big boys. They do their job, so it's somewhat easy from there." For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

In a rainy Thursday nonleague game, the Roseburg High School girls soccer team kept Churchill down for a 3-0 win at Finlay Field. “We had a great warm up, and we scored within the first five minutes in the first half, and then we scored within the first two minutes of the second half,” Roseburg senior Molly Smith said. “We started out really strong, and we set the tempo for the game.” Roseburg girls soccer sits at a 2-0 record for the season. Roseburg head coach Janelle Newton said it feels good to start off with marks in the W column after a lot of preseason work. “There’s still a lot that we need to work on, but it’s a great start to the season, and we have some tough competition next week, so we’re excited for that,” Newton said. So far, both sides of the board have contributed evenly on the team. The Indians have posted seven points in their first two games, while only allowing one goal in the first game from a penalty kick. Newton said the team is made up of 16 on the core squad, including six seniors, some juniors and sophomores and one freshman. The team is doing a good job now of learning and adapting to competing with each other. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

Roseburg residents will witness a cross-country cultural phenomenon come to Oregon when the Umpqua Bird Alliance (UBA) hosts two viewings for the arrival of Vaux's swifts. Starting at 6:30 p.m. on September 18 and 25 at the Fir Grove Park, watch parties will meet to see Vaux's swifts, a small, fast and acrobatic bird, roost overnight in the Umpqua Valley Arts Center's Clay Place chimney. The roosting is a regular event occurring each year from mid-September to early October as the birds gather together to rest during their long migration, which spans from the Southern tip of Central America to as far as British Columbia. At about 4-5 inches in length, Vaux's swifts are highly acrobatic, often forming undulating formations in large numbers as they race across the sky to catch insects. Unable to land on horizontal surfaces, the spend most of their life coasting in the air, landing to rest in vertical structures such as chimneys or tree snags. The swifts have stopped in the Roseburg area for 60 years, with flocks as large as over 7,000 birds. Beyond Roseburg, as many as 35,000 swifts will gather inside smokestacks at a single time. For birding enthusiasts, it's an opportunity to engage the community, both birders and non-birders, by viewing the animals in a group setting. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

Drain teenager Addison Hescock arm wrestled for the first time at the Joe Woody Memorial Arm Wrestling Tournament in Myrtle Creek in the summer of 2025. Less than a year later, she's qualified to compete at the upcoming International Federation of Armwrestling Championship. "The competition at worlds for the juniors is pretty scarce, but for the women, 63 kilograms is the most competitive weight class there is for women, so I'm excited about that," Hescock said. Throughout the year, she's worked her way up the ranks, first competing in the Washington State Arm Wrestling Championship in December 2025, where she climbed to the top of four brackets — the left- and right-handed competitions in both the 130-143 and 144-165 weight classes. At the International Federation of Armwrestling's United States National Armwrestling Championship in April in Dayton, Ohio, Hescock won the left- and right-handed junior national titles, and in the Women's Open 139 pound (63 kilogram) class, she placed second in both the left- and right-handed brackets. "It was pretty cool. It was pretty serious," Hescock said. "I had an injury there, like going into it, so my performance wasn't quite what I wanted in the women's division, but I'm hoping to make a comeback and prove myself at worlds." She was rewarded for the U.S. titles with the chance to compete for Team USA in the upcoming International Federation of Armwrestling Championship, held September 22-28 in Tsuchiura, Japan. At the world championship, Hescock will compete in all four brackets, the left-and right-handed Junior 15U Championship and Women's Open Championship in the 139-pound class (63 kg).
