BANDON — The Roseburg Indians girls' golf team finished third in the Southwest Conference district tournament on Tuesday at Bandon Crossings and will advance as a team to the Class 6A Special District 3 Regional tournament next week for a chance to earn a spot in the state tournament later this month. 

The RHS girls improved by 45 strokes as a team on Day 2 of the tournament and sophomore Lana Silvestri shot the only round under par as she led the way with a first place finish on the individual leaderboard. 

"(I) was happy to not only see the scores drop a little bit, but the girls' attitudes all week were great. They were ready to battle," Roseburg coach Devin Caylor said. "We had a lot more breaks go our way (on Tuesday). The girls battled on the back-nine."

Silvestri shot 84 in the first round Monday on the par 72 course. She wasn't able to card a single birdie, but came out and sank seven birdies in the second round on Tuesday to finish 2-under for the day. Her two-day score of 154 was 23 strokes better than second place finishers Waka Tsukamoto from South Eugene and Katie Myers from Sheldon. 

"(Silvestri) was giving herself opportunities (on Day 1), the putter just wasn't very hot," Caylor said. "She had a little bit more swagger to her (on Day 2). You could see that she had a little bit more confidence and she wanted to get after it. She wasn't happy with her (first) round, so instead of hanging her head she was like 'I'm going to get it today.'" 

Irelyn Weaver (216), Raeleigh Traviss (225) and Mylie Ray (230) all finished in the top 15 for the Indians. 

Sheldon claimed the district title by two strokes over Grants Pass and punched its ticket to the Class 6A state tournament May 18-19 at OGA Golf Course in Woodburn. 

The one-day Regional tournament tees off on Tuesday at Eagle Point Golf Club. Roseburg will compete against Grants Pass, North Medford and South Salem for a top two finish to earn a spot as a team in the state tournament. The top two individuals not on a state qualifying team will also earn a berth in the state tournament.

TRI CITY — For now, the South Umpqua High School softball team can keep the No. 1 spot in the Far West League.

The Lancers held No. 2 Glide back to take a 8-0 victory on Tuesday in the FWL battle.

Following the win, Lancers head coach J.P. Kelley expressed nothing but admiration for the Wildcats and their head coach coach Jeremiah Murphy.

"Jeremiah always shows up and he always puts a good team on the field," Kelley said.

After all, the teams will meet again Friday, with a doubleheader scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. in Glide. A Lancers sweep on Friday could clear the way for a commanding league title.

A clutch two-out base hit from Brady Popken gave the Roseburg Indians a lead they wouldn't relinquish in a 4-3 Southwest Conference victory over first place Willamette on Tuesday at Champion Car Wash Field.

The Wolverines scored in each of the first three innings to build a 3-0 lead, but the Indians rallied with four runs in the last of the third to comeback for the win. 

"Good job by the kids to battle and play a very clean ball game. I'm proud of them and the way they responded after last week, to come out here and play well in this game today," Roseburg coach Troy Thompson said.

There are over 980,000 acres of wilderness in the Umpqua Valley. This week, students from schools across Douglas County get an up-close, hands-on look at what it has to offer with Eastwood Nature Days.

Across this week, over 500 third grade students will take field trips to the Eastwood Nature Trail to participate in lessons from community experts on the Umpqua watershed's ecology as well as the history and culture of those who first settled it.

The event is organized by Umpqua Watersheds, whose director of environmental education and outreach Julie Lowe said being outdoors helps make teaching more impactful.

"Our goal is to help students see the watershed as a living system that supports an incredible diversity of life, and to understand that every part of that system is connected,” Lowe said. "When students can experience these ideas firsthand, outdoors and in the places where these processes are actually happening, the lessons become much more meaningful."

Some of those lessons focus on elements of nature kids can view in the modern day. For example, Umpqua Valley Audubon Society outreach coordinator Tracy Maxwell will take students on a birding walk where they learned to use binoculars and identify species.

The Douglas County Board of Commissioners will meet May 6 at 9 a.m. at the courthouse in Roseburg.

The agenda includes a proclamation for National Nurse Appreciation Week, a proposed appointment to the Emergency Medical Services Advisory Committee, public comment on agenda items, commissioner comments, and adjournment. A vacancy on the Emergency Medical Services Advisory Committee follows the resignation of Bryan Trenkle. Commissioners are expected to consider appointing Teresa Mutschler to fill the position, with a term expiring Nov. 30, 2028.

The meeting will be held in Room 216 of the Douglas County Courthouse. Public comment will be limited to agenda items only.
It was a rough Monday morning for Jime Amaro. Before noon, his van had a flat tire, he had forgotten a grease catcher at home, and his computer had accidentally wiped hours of work. But he had something to look forward to: A day at work making new friends with customers.

"(It's) just the people, everybody that comes in with a positive vibe," Amaro said. "All the positive affirmations like 'yeah, you're doing something,' it makes it all worth it."

Amaro is the owner of Jime's Hotdogs, where he has served sausages out of the business's signature neon-orange cover and cart to hungry Roseburg residents since fall 2024. Currently, he takes the business between downtown Roseburg and the Roseburg Staples parking lot.

Amaro said his inspiration for the business came from an observation that Oregon, unlike his home state, wasn't bustling with local hotdog carts and vendors. He decided to help fill that gap in Roseburg's culinary scene.

The Umpqua Valley Christian baseball team conquered Lowell 10-2 on Friday in a Special District 5 game at Champion Car Wash Field in Roseburg.

The wins bring the Monarchs up to a 10-win game streak, and improves the team's record to 13-5 and 9-0 in the SD5. With less than three weeks remaining in the regular season, Monarchs' head coach Dave York said the team is getting better each week.

"Certainly we haven't arrived yet, but I feel like we're playing better. The guys are competing together as a team and that always feels pretty good," York said.

Ryan Shaver ended 3-for-4 with two runs. Chrisenbery was 3-for-4 with four RBIs. Caleb Saylor and Teagen Sprague ended with two runs each. Saylor, Sprague, Justice Bendele and Caleb York each contributed one hit.

Chrisenbery and Shaver combined on the mound for 11 strikeouts, three walks and two earned runs.

In Friday's game, Wyatt Johnson was 1-for-3 with one run for the Devils (12-5, 3-5). Adam Davis was 1-for-3 with one RBI. Ben Thurman pitched five strikeouts, and allowed one walk and six earned runs during almost five innings on the mound.

Coach York said the much of the team's improvement throughout the season has come from the leaders stepping into the positions to lead the younger Monarchs. With quite a few new starters on the team compared to previous years, York said the athletes have been growing as they learn how to communicate and play together as a team.

"I think it's just a lot of growing that we needed to go through," York said. "Now we're starting to hit our stride."

Over the next few weeks, the focus is to keep the game in front of the Monarchs on the field, and not get too far ahead of themselves, with the idea to improve something every day. York said one area of work has been to stay more consistent on the offensive side.

"We're starting to get some good outings on the mound," York said. "I'd like to see us cut down on our walks."

The Monarchs will visit Oakridge on Monday.

It was early Saturday when a line of gardening enthusiasts, wheelbarrows in hand, had begun to snake through the Douglas County Fairgrounds. When the clock struck nine and the doors of the exhibit building opened, a frenzy ensued as they rushed to get their hands on one thing: plants.

The event was the Plant and Garden Expo, organized by the Douglas County Master Gardener Association. Attendees were invited to buy from a selection of hundreds of varieties of flowers, vegetables, herbs, trees, shrubs, houseplants and more.

Along with the plants, a variety of vendors sold their own gardening-related goods, such as seeds, tools, clothing, skincare products and more.

The annual event, now at its 39th year, has become something of a tradition for phytophiles from Douglas County and beyond. Longtime attendee Kara Schoonhoven said she appreciates how it continues to show Oregonians the value of gardening.

"I've been coming here for at least ten years, and every year it's getting bigger and bigger," Schoonhoven said. "It's good to keep on the tradition of growing your own vegetables and planting and having your hands in the dirt. That's so good for your mental health."

Typically, rockhounding requires a keen eye and sharp senses to find the valuable or interesting gems and minerals. But on Saturday, a selection of inorganic rarities from around the world was collected and displayed front and center at the Douglas County Fairgrounds for the Umpqua Gem & Mineral Club Annual Show.

The event drew in over 40 vendors to sell and display raw gems, minerals and rock, as well as jewelry and polished gemstones, for a crowd of rockhounds from across the state. At over 50 years in operation, the show is one of the longest running events at the fairgrounds.

According to Umpqua Valley Gem & Mineral Club President Darnell Hlavinka, the show is a chance to help the club gain exposure and show attendees who may not be familiar with rockhounding what makes the hobby fun.

"Our club has been in existence since 1939 and we're relatively unknown. A lot of people are surprised that there's a local rock club in Roseburg," Hlavinka said. "We want to turn non-rock people into rock people."

MEDFORD — The Roseburg Indians had 12 hits, including four doubles, in the nightcap of a Southwest Conference doubleheader against South Medford to escape with one win in the series and snap a five-game losing streak Saturday at Harry and David Field. 

The Indians poured it on the Panthers for an 18-7 victory in Game 2 of the twin bill, while South Medford started the day with a 3-2 comeback victory in Game 1. 

"Coming out on the wrong end of a 1-run ball game is never fun, but a good response by (our team)," Roseburg coach Troy Thompson said. "Our kids had some really great swings in the last couple of innings (in Game 2) and that was great to see for us. A little bit of hard work paying off."

Roseburg's win was loaded with offensive statistics. The Indians overcame a 4-2 deficit with nine runs in the fifth and seven runs in the sixth inning. Roseburg (11-8, 7-5 SWC) sent 13 hitters to the plate in both frames.
