Best Country 103️ September 2, 2026

We need our community’s help! A gentleman called in to Best Country 103 this morning after finding a class ring, and he’s hoping we can help get it back to its rightful owner. The ring appears to be from South Umpqua Class of 2012. The inscription inside reads Anthony Wayne Honey (or possibly Haney). If you know Anthony or anyone who might be connected to him, please tag them or share this post so we can reunite the ring with its owner. Let’s see if we can make this happen! Thank you for helping out! 🙏

Due to decreased temperatures and precipitation across lands protected by the Douglas Forest Protective Association, Public Use Restrictions Levels have decreased to LOW effective at 12:00 pm. Wednesday for all private, county, state and Bureau of Indian Affairs lands within the Douglas District.

DFPA Public Information Officer Rachael Pope said in addition, the Industrial Fire Precaution Level has decreased to Level 2 as well. Pope said that is within the Douglas District, all regulated use areas, and all forestlands with one-eighth mile of those areas, including lands managed by the Roseburg District Bureau of Land Management.

Pope said the public is reminded that fire season remains in effect, and caution should continue to be exercised when using fire or equipment outdoors.

Pope said while Labor Day weekend often marks the unofficial end of summer as the school year begins, it does not signal the end of fire season. While fire danger levels have decreased, the potential for a wildfire start has not ended. Before heading out for the long weekend, know the current restrictions, and check vehicles and trailers for anything that could create sparks. Secure trailer chains and never park on dry grass or brush. Campfires are only permitted in designated locations and must be fully extinguished before leaving. If using a barbecue or grill, keep it away from dry vegetation and never leave it unattended.

There are two Jeremy Steven Yows. The first is seen a mugshot taken from a 2020 conviction: Wild, unkempt hair and a scruffy, overgrown beard bookending a slender face of mauve blotches and deep creases. A pair of eyes, glazed over and vacant, stare into the middle distance.

The second Yow was seen on August 11, when he attended his graduation from the Douglas County Mental Health Court. Here is a new man, a slight smile visible under his trimmed mustache, a sullen gaze replaced with contentedness.

His mother and sister can hardly believe it. The past 25 years were a blur of chaos and heartbreak. They never expected to see him like this again, full of life. They had barely expected to see him still breathing.

And yet, here he was, shaking a judge's hand as he accepted his certificate of completion from the Douglas County Mental Health Court, the room erupting into applause as tears of joy start to flow.

County Commissioners Tom Kress, Chris Boice and Tim Freeman would like to remind residents that most county government offices will be closed on Monday, September 7th, in observance of Labor Day.

A county release said that includes offices at the courthouse and justice building, courthouse annex in Reedsport, fairgrounds, landfills and transfer sites and all external government offices.

The Douglas County Museum of History and Natural History in Roseburg and the Umpqua River Lighthouse Museum in Winchester Bar will be open to visitors on Monday. All county parks, campgrounds and boat ramps will be open and accessible. Salmon Harbor Marina and the Winchester Bay RV Park will be open as well.

Even though the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office lobby entrance will be closed on Monday, deputies, 911 communications and other DCSO staff will continue to provide law enforcement protection and emergency assistance for residents.
Adapt Integrated Health Care recently broke ground on a new recovery campus on Northeast Diamond Lake Boulevard in Roseburg.

An Adapt release said it will expand access to comprehensive, individualized care for people seeking support for substance use and behavioral health needs. The campus will have the ability to provide 100 percent gender-specific substance use-disorder treatment. Men and women will have separate treatment programming, living spaces, and common areas, creating an environment designed to support each client’s comfort, privacy, and individual recovery journey.

The release said the new facility will also significantly expand Adapts’ capacity, increasing residential treatment from the current 21 beds at Crossroads to 50 beds. Adapt said that with additional space and resources, the campus will allow them to better meet each client’s individual needs. That is whether they are seeking support for substance use disorder, mental health, primary care or a combination of services.

A contractor with the Oregon Department of Transportation is continuing work on the Interstate 5 Winchester Bridges project.

Dan Latham of ODOT said the project includes repair work to both bridges, resurfacing the travel lanes, reconstructing joints, upgrading bridge rails and more. Latham said this means one southbound lane is closed between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. daily. All lanes will be open for the Labor Day weekend, with the contractor scheduled to resume work after the holiday.
As Oregon students return to school, the Oregon Department of Transportation urges everyone to stay alert, follow speed limits, avoid distractions, and share the road.

A release from ODOT suggests drivers slow down and stay alert in neighborhoods and school zones, respect school zone speed limits, stop for school buses, focus on driving, and watch for people at crossings.

ODOT suggests teaching children to be visible and predictable when walking. They should cross at corners or marked crosswalks, signal their intent, and look left, right, and left again before entering the street. Children should make eye contact with drivers before stepping off the curb, use sidewalks when available, and walk facing traffic when there is no sidewalk.

ODOT also urges parents to teach children the rules of the road when biking, scooting, or skateboarding. Children should wear a properly fitted helmet, ride with traffic, obey stop signs and signals, use hand signals and lights, and use reflectors in darkness or low light.

A dispersing male gray wolf originating from the Indigo Pack has been seen frequently around the Cascade Lakes Highway corridor in recent weeks.

A release from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said this radio-collared wolf, known as OR-213 of the Indigo Pack, known to roam the Diamond Lake area, has been moving throughout the eastern slopes of the Cascades, and ODFW has received many reports of his travels.

It is common for young wolves to leave their family packs as they mature. They may travel hundreds or even thousands of miles while searching for a mate, available habitat, and an opportunity to establish a territory. They are typically not in the same area long before they move on.

The release said OR-213 may look lean, but wolves are generally at their leanest during late summer and after shedding their summer coat. As a transient wolf covering long distances, this condition is not unusual for him.

Wolves are generally shy and will avoid contact with people. Wardens say if people encounter a wolf, they should give it plenty of space. Do not approach, follow, feed, or otherwise attempt to interact with a wolf. Those who encounter a wolf while they are recreating on foot should make noise and wave their arms in the air to make themselves look larger.
On Saturday, September 19th from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Umpqua Valley Arts is hosting a Steamroller Printmaking event free to the community.

A release from UVA said eight professional artists from across the state will be printing large linocut prints with a real steamroller in UVA’s parking lot. The event highlights the art of linocut printmaking and is free for all to attend. Attendees can expect to watch the printing live and in action while enjoying demos and printmaking activities for all ages.

UVA Exhibitions Coordinator Ashley Cluver said, “This event is brand new to UVA, and we’re hosting it as a way to support the artists in their professional careers and to provide the community with a chance to learn about and participate in this art form,”

At least one print from the eight artists will be retained for UVA’s Permanent Collection. Prints made by adults and youth during the event also have a chance to be exhibited in two of UVA’s galleries. All works will be presented in UVA’s first exhibits of 2027 with an opening reception from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on January 8th, 2027.
WINCHESTER — Umpqua Community College celebrated the new track and its sponsors with the Grand Opening and Riverhawk 5K on Saturday.

A ribbon cutting event occurred at 8:30 a.m. with sponsors, Umpqua Community College students and other community members joining to officially open the track.
Roseburg’s Hampton Inn and Suites is getting a refreshed look.

Bruce Hanna of Hanna Hospitality told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that after seven years of busy operation it was time to make some updates. Hanna said rooms at the hotel are getting new paint, wall coverings, and furniture. The fitness center is being updated as well. Hanna said all work should be done by mid-October.

Hampton Inn and Suites remains open while the work is taking place. It is located on Northwest Mulholland Drive, just east of Interstate 5 and right next to the Holiday Inn Express, which opened in January. Both facilities are part of the Hanna Heritage Place, a commercial and hospitality retail center.
Crews with the Douglas Forest Protective Association dealt with two fires on Sunday.

A DFPA release said at 1:40 a.m. firefighters responded to a smoke investigation near the intersection of Tyee Access Road and Tyee Road in the Umpqua area.

Upon arrival, firefighters discovered two burning slash piles with fire spreading into surrounding vegetation. The fire, named the Bottle Creek Fire, was estimated to be approximately one acre in size. DFPA Public Information Officer Rachel Pope said after several hours of firefighting efforts, crews successfully lined and plumbed the fire perimeter and transitioned into mop-up operations. Pope said crews will continue to work on mop-up in the area until the fire can be successfully turned over to patrol status.

DFPA resources assigned to the incident include three engines, two squads, a ten-person crew, a dozer, overhead command staff and a water tender. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. No homes or structures were threatened by the Bottle Creek Fire. DFPA was assisted by Central Douglas Fire & Rescue.

Sunday just after 2:00 p.m. crews from DFPA and other agencies responded to a reported natural cover fire near the 10000 block of Lookingglass Road near Roseburg.

Pope said upon arrival, firefighters found a grass fire burning across approximately one-quarter of an acre. Crews took immediate action and stopped the forward spread of the fire, which was named the Lookingglass Creek Fire.

The National Federation of Independent Business Fed PAC, the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, has announced its endorsement of Monique DeSpain, the Republican candidate for Congress in Oregon’s 4th District.

A release from the federation said the endorsement issued through NFIB’s Fed PAC follows the organization’s member-driven evaluation process and reflects NFIB’s assessment that DeSpain will be a reliable ally for small business owners in Congress.

NFIB Oregon State Director Anthony Smith said, “Monique DeSpain is a political outsider, a veteran, and an advocate for small businesses. She supports reducing regulatory burdens on Main Street and getting government out of the way so that Oregonians can own, operate, and grow their businesses.” Smith said, “She will make for a great member of Congress, and we are proud to stand behind her once again in this election cycle.”
