SUTHERLIN — The Sutherlin High School girls soccer team shutout Santiam Christian 1-0 in a nonleague game Thursday.

Sutherlin's Sophia Gilman scored the lone goal of the game in the 54th minute.

"I really, really needed to protect that goal, I didn't want one goal scored and I did not want to tie," junior Alana Houck said of her mentality during the game.

Houck said the Bulldogs (2-1) were good at getting to the ball and being aggressive, more so in the second half than the first. The team also did a better job of calling out plays and communicating on the field, and Houck hopes they continue to improve that throughout the season.

SUTHERLIN — The Brookings-Harbor High School boys soccer team shutout Sutherlin 2-0 on Thursday in a Special District 3 game.

The Bulldogs stopped a lot of potential goals, but junior Anthony Rostock said they need to communicate better on the field.

"Brookings is a very good team. I think we held them down. There's always things we need to do better, but as long as we keep learning and keep growing, that's what we wanted," Sutherlin head coach Scott Shaver said.

Shaver said goalkeeper Hayden Woodward did a good job attempting to keep the ball out of the goal, succeeding all times but twice. The team needs to work on individual possession and transitions.

"We got tired. We need to get better conditioned, but I was very proud of the guys," Shaver said.

The Roseburg High School cross country team hosted the Umpqua Opener on Wednesday, with teams from all across Southern Oregon sending runners to race for a fresh time to open the season in the Stewart Park course.

"We've got like 25 schools this year, counting the middle schools," Roseburg head coach Nathan Eckman said. "Some of the schools have like one runner, you know, but it's super fun though."

"I think, all the 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A schools were here today, so it's a neat representation. There's some really good runners from those smaller schools too that show up and love to compete against all the bigger schools."

The North Medford boys walked away with the team win, ahead of Bandon in second place. Roseburg placed third in the team scores, with Douglas ending in fourth and Glendale fifth.

The Douglas Forest Protective Association will begin issuing permits for prescribed burns as weather conditions allow.

DFPA Public Information Officer Rachael Pope said prescribed burning helps landowners improve pastures, control weeds and brush, improve wildlife habitat, and reduce vegetation that can fuel wildfires. Pope said prescribed burns can also help firefighters by reducing the buildup of brush, grass and other vegetation that can fuel wildfires.

The DFPA release said fire officials have seen wildfire slowed or suppressed in open grass fields and hillsides where prescribed burning has been conducted periodically.

Pope said there is a short weather-dependent window to safely and effectively complete prescribed burns. Fuels must be dry enough for the burn to be effective, while weather conditions must allow the fire to remain under control. As new green growth begins, prescribed burns can become less effective

Prescribed burns are made safer by building fire trails around the planned burn site. Landowners must have enough personnel on site to safely conduct the burn, patrol the area, and mop up after the burn.

Landowners must also demonstrate that they have the resources needed to keep the prescribed burn under control, including adequate fire suppression equipment and personnel. Once fire trails are approved by DFPA and weather conditions are suitable, a permit can be issued to conduct the prescribed burn.

Drivers should expect weekday traffic delays south of Canyonville starting Monday, September 14th, as workers remove several dozen fire-damaged trees along Interstate 5. The trees were damaged by the Milepost 97 Complex Fire in 2019, and many are at risk of falling into the I-5 travel lanes.

A release from Oregon Department of Transportation said tree-cutting operations are scheduled from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each Monday through Friday until the end of September.

Rolling slowdowns will be used in both directions of I-5, affecting southbound traffic from milepost 103 to 95 and northbound traffic from milepost 87 to 95.

The release said during a rolling slowdown, pilot cars hold traffic to a slow but steady pace to give crews time to cut down trees.

Flaggers will briefly hold traffic at several southbound on ramps from Exit 103 at Tri City, to Exit 95 at Canyon Creek. Only one northbound on- ramp, exit 88 in Azalea, will be affected.

Most delays will be less than 20 minutes. Message boards will be placed ahead of the work zone in both directions.

Following the recent rainfall, Umpqua National Forest is reducing the Fire Danger Level from ‘High’ to ‘Moderate’ and reduce Public Use Restrictions from Stage 2 to No Restrictions, effective at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, September 11th.

A release from the Umpqua National Forest said recent rainfall has improved moisture conditions across the forest. As a result, campfires in wilderness areas and dispersed campfires are allowed, and personal chainsaw use is allowed at any time, subject to regulations, including a valid permit to cut firewood, which can now be obtained online.

The Industrial Fire Precaution Level is also being reduced to Level 1, beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, September 14th.

A UNF release said while conditions have improved, visitors are reminded that wildfire potential remains present. Recreators should remember that all campfires need to be dead out before leaving a campsite. Drown, stir, and feel the campfire with the back of the hand. The fire should feel cold to the touch before leaving a campsite.

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.
