It's been more than 20 years since Roseburg celebrated its last Obon Festival, an event centered around bringing Japanese traditions and culture to Douglas County. This weekend, that hiatus comes to a close. 12:30–8 p.m. Saturday, the Roseburg Obon Festival is making a comeback at Stewart Park, complete with traditional live music, dancing, craft activities, vendors and more. What is Obon? In Japan, Obon is a Buddhist festival dedicated to honoring ancestors. Traditionally held in the summer, it's a time for families to clean gravesites, perform traditional dances and light lanterns to guide ancestral spirits home. Established in 1997 by the Roseburg Sister Cities (RSC) program, The Roseburg Obon Festival takes the event as a way to educate Douglas County on Japanese culture and traditions. After the passing of RSC founder Harold Winfield in 2000, the event went on hiatus for over 20 years. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

Currently, there is no active food pantry in Canyonville, leaving city residents in need of affordable nutrition with little options for local resources. Now, The FISH of Roseburg is taking the first steps towards a solution. On August 20, the pantry will open its first South county pop-up at the Canyonville City Offices, located at 250 N Main St., from 4–6 p.m. The pantry will then operate at the same time and location every third Thursday of the month. According to The Fish of Roseburg Executive Director Jenn Reida, it will offer items such as cereal, peanut butter, canned soups and chili, shelf-stable milks and even bread and produce. Reida said the idea to expand into Canyonville came from a high number of residents requesting DoorDash deliveries past the pantry's range of operation. Rather than make them come to Roseburg for their food, Reida wanted to bring it to them. From there, Reida said funding support from the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians and the Three Rivers Foundation helped to make that wish a reality.

In just under two years, Phoenix Barraza went from silent to confident. Alysha Barraza, Phoenix’s mother, says dog training, grooming and showing has helped him come out of his shell. He began by helping his grandmother, Laurie Moore, training and grooming her dogs at only two years old, and has shown a great knack for it. “Phoenix is four, he’ll be five October of this year then he will be old enough to enter, you know, the full competition,” Barraza said. “But he’s been a pre pee wee ambassador, and had been recognized for that and for trying to bring the younger age into the sport.” Moore and Phoenix are members in quite a few Oregon-based dog groups, including the Southern Oregon Terrier Club and Portland Miniature Schnauzer Club. The junior level of competition is for children ages 9-12, intermediate for 12-15 and senior is 15-18, according to the American Kennel Club website. The pee wee level is at some shows for ages 5-9, so Phoenix will be able to compete starting in November. He’s been working the past few years as an ambassador to draw in those youngest ages to the dog shows, hoping to introduce more and more younger folks into the competition. In July 2024 when Phoenix first attended the Coos Kennel Club, he showed in a group of four pre pee wee competitors; in 2025 there were eight and this year there were 15 competitors in the age category. “It’s really weird because everybody says he has a talent beyond his age, even the handlers’ kids,” Barraza said. “The handlers are shaking their head, going, “Man, he’s more interested in it and more advanced than, you know, a lot of them that are going every single weekend.” For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

The Roseburg Public Library invites the community to an evening with Mitzi Asai Loftus, author of “From Thorns to Blossoms: A Japanese American Family in War and Peace,” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, September 3rd. A city of Roseburg release said Mitsuko “Mitzi” Asai was not yet 10 years old in the spring of 1942 when President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 sent 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry – about two-thirds of them U.S. citizens – from their homes on the West Coast to inland prison camps. They included Mitzi and most of her family, who operated a fruit orchard in Hood River. The Asais spent much of World War II in the camps while two of the older sons served in the Pacific in the U.S. Army. Three years later, when the camps began to close, the family returned to Hood River to find an altered community. Shop owners refused to serve neighbors they had known for decades; racism and hostility were open and largely unchecked. Humiliation and shame drove teenaged Mitzi to reject her Japanese heritage, including her birth name. More than a decade later, her life took another turn when a Fulbright grant sent her to teach in Japan, where she reconnected with her roots. The release said in “From Thorns to Blossoms” Asai Loftus recounts her rich and varied life, from a childhood surrounded by barbed wire and hatred to a successful career as a high school English teacher and college instructor in English as a Second Language. Copies of “From Thorns to Blossoms,” will be available for $25. The book also is available for checkout in physical format at the library and as a digital book on Libby. The event is free and will be held in person only at the library on Northeast Diamond Lake Boulevard. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

Mop up continues on the Castle Fire, which is now 80 percent contained and remains at 3,613 acres. 426 personnel are working at the fire, which is located 23 miles northeast of Tiller. The Southern Area Grey Incident Management Team has assumed command of the fire. Firefighters work to eliminate any heat sources that are encountered. Interior pockets of unburned fuel may produce isolated torching and visible smoke columns. Chipping, rehab work, and hazard tree identification and falling will be conducted. The fire is being managed for full suppression. An upper-level trough will set up overhead Wednesday into Thursday, setting up increased marine influence from the west. Temperatures will hover right around normal for this time of year. A significant marine push in the morning will bring higher humidity to the area, with greatly increased valley recoveries. Afternoon winds will remain enhanced throughout this time. Light-terrain-driven winds in the overnight and early mornings will give way to breezy upslope/valley winds in the afternoons, with breezy northwest winds over the ridges. The Umpqua National Forest expanded closure area continues to be in effect. All National Forest System lands, roads and trails are closed to the public within the closure area. This includes several recreation areas. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

For 38 summers, the Sutherlin Blackberry Festival has brought out the town's car culture, crafts and competitive spirit. Now, the annual gathering is readying for another year of events. Festival highlights The festival runs across the upcoming weekend from Friday morning to Saturday evening. Across those three days, guests will attend a car show, sporting competitions, races, cook-offs, live music performances and more in and around the main gathering point of Central Park. It's a lot of variety for a single town event, with organizing beginning in January to get everything set in time for the festival. But according to festival chairman Duane Waller, that everything-but-the-kitchen-sink aspect is what makes it special. "It's not just a car show. It's not just a bunch of craft booths. It's a bunch of stuff," Waller said. "Doing one event like this is a lot of work, but we put all of this stuff together and pull it off on a three day weekend, which is amazing to see."

A bumper crop of grass hay in Douglas County is benefitting ranchers and livestock who have been severely impacted by wildfires in Southeastern Oregon’s Harney County. A recent volunteer and donation effort resulted in an estimated 100 tons of grass hay being hauled over the Cascade Mountains to Burns where it was distributed to cattle, sheep and horses whose grazing grounds have been burned. Cases of bottled water and sacks of feed were also donated. Money donations were accepted to help with fuel costs although some of the drivers turned down that offer, resulting in $3,400 being left in Burns to be used as needed. “It’s pretty incredible what the people from Douglas County have done for us,” said Nicole Adamson, president of the Harney County Cattlewomen’s Association. “Our livestock just needed the food.” Seven fires that started in late July and have burned through August in Harney County have destroyed hay stacks, barns, grazing grounds and cow camp cabins. It’s anticipated some cattle will be found dead and others severely injured by the fire and smoke. Drew Fairbairn, an Umpqua area rancher, pitched the donation idea on Facebook and within a few days, the donations and transportation were organized for the trip east. “I remember the Texas-Oklahoma fire a couple years ago and seeing a convoy to help those ranchers,” Fairbairn said. “There was nothing I could do then to help, but when these fires happened here, God tugged at my heart to respond. “I had a good hay year and I know others did too so I put it out on Facebook and the whole community here came out of the woodwork to help,” he added. “Once the ball got rolling, there was lots of help.” A total of about 50 ranches, businesses and individuals stepped up to support the Douglas County effort. Within a few days of the Facebook post, 17 truck-and-trailer rigs made the trip to Burns on Aug. 1. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

Umpqua Community College (UCC) is looking into a new way to curb Douglas County's shortage of childcare resources by potentially utilizing its former Woolley Center building, located off of West Harvard Avenue next to Fir Grove Park, for daycare services. The idea took its next step forward in Monday's Roseburg City Council, when the council passed a motion to approve a text amendment to the city's municipal code during a first reading. It would allow daycare facilities to operate in Public Reserve (PR) zoned property. The former Woolley Center building stands on PR property. UCC President and CEO Rachel Pokrandt said the idea for day care use came after the Woolley Center moved to downtown Roseburg, now located at 729 SE Jackson St., leaving the old building vacant and needing new use. She said the college identified the space as a potential location to increase childcare options. "We also have a goal of helping the community create more childcare slots, and so we decided that could be a good location," Pokrandt said. April 2025 saw some of the earliest steps in pursuing this goal when Douglas ESD's Care Connections and Education (CCR&R) provided consultation. According to CCR&R Director Heather Freilinger, this included a site visit, feasibility review and technical assistance. Pokrandt said the plans for daycare use are in very early stages, but that the ordinance will open the door to the college for moving forward. What is known at this time is the college would look towards a local provider to enter the space. "There's nothing set in stone yet, but this ordinance just gives us the opportunity to pursue making that space into childcare in the future," Pokrandt said. "It would be a childcare provider that is already active in the community who might want to take up that space and increase the opportunity for families to have childcare options."

Roseburg Mayor Larry Rich first assumed the role in 1998. Now, after 28 years serving in it, he has announced he will not run for another term after the current one ends on December 31, 2026. The news was initially broken to staff in an internal letter earlier today, then announced publicly in a press release. In that letter, Rich wrote he feels its time for him to step away from his work and pursue leisure as he approaches turning 71. "I am at the point in my life where I want to play more, and work less. There are still places in this world that I would like to see and visit before I can't travel anymore. I will turn 71 years old when my current term ends. I feel this is the right time for me to step aside," Rich wrote in his letter. Rich also thanked Roseburg citizens for being able to serve as mayor and said he liked the time he spent in the role. "I really enjoyed being mayor. I had a lot of fun doing it. I met so many wonderful people in this town that I would have never known except for the simple fact that I was the mayor," Rich wrote. "Roseburg is truly blessed to have such wonderful people living here. I will be forever grateful to the citizens of Roseburg for giving me the opportunity to serve."

After thrill rides, carnival games and livestock shows, attendees of the Douglas County Fair on Thursday, Friday and Saturday were treated to one last attraction as the sun set over the fairgrounds: Live concerts. This year's lineup began with country artist Aaron Lewis, followed by rapper Tone Loc and singer-songwriter Niko Moon, each of whom brought their own style and tone for the crowd. No matter who performed, the crowd sang and danced, beers in hand, throughout three of the county's largest live performances of the year. For attendee Jennifer Beer, bringing big shows to her neck of the woods is part of the appeal of the fair's nightly entertainment. "I think it's a chance to have something different that we don't get on a daily basis," Beer said. "It's just nice to bring in bigger names that we get to see so we don't have to travel to Eugene or to the state fair."' For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

Myrtle Creek's Millsite park was filled with color and music on Saturday as families celebrated the first ever Better With YOU Here Suicide Awareness Color Walk. Held from 9 a.m.–1 p.m., the free event welcomed guests to don a white T-shirt and walk laps around the park, stopping at stations along the way to get doused in different shades of colored powder. After turning shades of rainbow, guests were then invited to grab hot dogs, and participate in a raffle for baskets of goods donated by local businesses. Proceeds for the raffle went to the South Umpqua High School (SUHS) Hope Squad, a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program. For younger walkers, water slides, a coloring table and foam cannons were present for additional activities. The idea for the event came from Riley Thomas, a graduate of SUHS who was inspired to raise awareness for suicide after a classmate took their own life. After mentioning the idea to her church, she was put in contact with local organizations to make that wish a reality. To kick off the run, Thomas shared some advice for anyone in the crowd who may be going through their own internal struggles. "I know that I am not alone in this pain. I know that a lot of you are going through so much that none of use will know," Thomas said. "Look around you. Remember that no matter what, you have a community. You have a family and you are not alone. There is so much hope in this community. It is okay to lean on one another, and I know that they will be here to help and love and support you."
