The Roseburg City Council set an ambitious agenda for Monday night's regular and study meetings. A primary topic was prioritizing the efforts of city staff in addressing the unhoused community, but the overwhelming majority of speakers from the audience had other ideas. Other momentous topics were the celebration of multiple city volunteers, in a proclamation of Volunteer Recognition Month, and a finalization of the cooperative project with Umpqua Community College on the medical education center. The audience, however, wanted to continue last month's discussion regarding the possibility of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement potentially seeking office space in Roseburg.

For Nicholas “Nick” Mitchell, moving from California to Douglas County in 2018 was not a culture shock. The Fallbrook, Calif. native grew up in an unincorporated, agricultural community and told The News-Review he understands the role that agriculture plays in rural communities. On Nov. 25, 2025, Mitchell filed to run for Douglas County Commissioner, in the Position One seat currently held by Commissioner Tom Kress, who has filed for re-election. Additional candidates for Position One are Devlan Sorensen and Lorrie Wick. Although Mitchell works in technology now, he did not necessarily grow up that way. As he told The News-Review, he spent his childhood summers in the barns of county fairs, showing the champion sheep and cattle he raised in large fairs as far away as Los Angeles and San Diego.

According to emergency radio traffic Thursday, and a press release from the Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA), cooler weather and rain Thursday afternoon were assets in controlling multiple wildfires that occurred during a lightning storm. The kinetic afternoon for firefighters began around 1:30 p.m. when the Kellogg Rural Fire Department responded to a natural cover fire in the 8000 block of Tyee Road in Umpqua, west of Sutherlin. They found a fire measuring approximately two acres, moving at moderate speed uphill in steep terrain. DFPA arrived at approximately 2:13 p.m. with fire engines and assumed command and responsibility from the Kellogg Rural Fire Department. By end of business the fire had been confirmed at a size of 1.8 acres, but was successfully surrounded by firefighters with fire breaks, plumbed with fire hose, mopped up and turned back over to the owners. Meanwhile, DFPA crews were also responding to Bear Creek Road, approximately 20 mies south in an area west of Roseburg and north of Tenmile, where an industrial operator fire was being fought with resources by a private landowner. According to DFPA, this second fire was measured at between 15 and 20 acres, and for operational purposes was named the Baby Bear Fire. DFPA crews arrived to find the flames to be occurring mostly within the boundaries of the industrial operation, and without spreading into the adjacent stands of timber. DFPA reportedly called for additional help, and was assisted by the Coos Forest Protective Association. By the end of business Thursday, the combined fire crews had surrounded approximately 60% of the affected area with fire breaks. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

Clothing, shoes, toys, bottles, books, breast pumps, bottle sterilizers, carriers and cribs: For the past five years, Peppypotamus has provided parents with these supplies and more. By the end of Spring, that all changes. On April 7, Peppypotamus announced on Facebook its Roseburg location is closing. The remainder of the store's stock will consolidate to the original Peppypotamus location in Eugene. According to co-owner Victoria Sanne, the store is aiming to close by the second week of May, but an exact date of closure is not finalized. "With heavy hearts, we’ve made the decision to close our Roseburg location and consolidate in Eugene location," reads the Facebook post. "This shop has meant everything to us, the memories, the families, and all of you. We are so incredibly grateful for your love and support over the years." Peppypotamus functions as a trade where parents can bring in unwanted child care supplies and receive store credit to purchase used items for far lower prices than retail. Customers can still use unspent credit accrued from trades at the Eugene location. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

The new housing market in Roseburg is a bit of a mixed bag, with a dearth of homes built last year, but signs point to a significant number of new homes coming in the not-to-distant future. Last year only nine detached single-family homes were approved to be built in the city, and another five are pending. That totals 14 new homes in the works, a far cry from what’s needed to accommodate the population growth that has been forecast for Roseburg, according to a 2019 housing needs analysis that was conducted for the city. That analysis looked at the anticipated population growth 20 years out — from 2019 to 2039 — and determined the number of new housing units that would be needed to provide lodging for everyone. Within that time frame, based on population projections, there needs to be 2,678 new dwelling units, for an average of 134 new units a year. There were only a total of 26 new dwelling units built or approved in the city last year, including single homes, townhomes and apartments. The numbers for approved or pending homes in 2025 were: 14 detached homes, three manufactured homes, five duplexes (totaling seven units), one accessory dwelling unit, one residential unit in conjunction with commercial use and zero townhomes, according to an annual housing report compiled by the city.

RICE HILL — The Healthy Forest Advisory Committee hosted fifth graders from Fir Grove and Winchester elementary schools in a plot of land owned by Roseburg Forest Products in Rice Hill. The Thursday morning field trip included hands-on education in the form of planting tree saplings, learning about what people do in forestry and other benefits of the trade. "Fir Grove and Winchester have a really long tradition of doing this," Fir Grove fifth grade teacher Courtney List said. "So we don't have, you know, opportunities to interact before this. We meet up on the mountain, and we plant, and it's just a good way for district schools to give back to our community." The Healthy Forest Advisory Committee was previously known as the nonprofit Community for Healthy Forests but is now all volunteer based, Mark Buckbee said, and is associated with Umpqua Community College as the fiscal sponsor. “This is a perfect unit for these kids, because it's fairly flat,” Buckbee said. “There's very little debris on the ground.” The students spent over an hour planting tree saplings, tiny Douglas fir and their roots, in the soil around the about 3-acre plot reserved for them. Roseburg Forest Products forester Connor Gowey said his team replanted most of the area and left off a spot for the schools — an easily accessible spot for the busses to have a turn around spot and for the students to remain safe.

Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team (DINT) has completed its first found of targeted enforcement patrols in the city of Roseburg, following concerns about criminal activity in key areas of the city. DINT Commander Lt. Nick Hansen said throughout the early months of this year, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners (BOC) received input from community members and local businesses regarding increased criminal activity in downtown Roseburg, as well as in public parks and sports fields. Hansen said the BOC relayed these concerns to the team. DINT had also independently received ongoing reports of narcotics-related activity in the same areas. Hansen said while DINT’s primary focus remains identifying and investigating high-level drug distributors in Douglas County, the agency’s mission includes working collaboratively with the community, businesses and law enforcement partners to reduce illegal narcotics activity and maintain a safe environment for residents.
