Sutherlin Police are seeking the public’s help as they try to recover a historic steam whistle that was cut from the city’s 1921 Cooke Oil-Fired Steam Locomotive on September 15th.

Police Chief Troy Mills said an investigation into the theft led officers to a suspect who lives in California. Mills said an arrest warrant was issued for 18-year-old Brenden Miller of Redding along with a search warrant for his home. SPD officers traveled to Redding and with the assistance of the Redding Police Department, contacted Miller at his residence. He was ultimately taken into custody and charged with first-degree counts of theft and criminal mischief.

Mills said unfortunately the whistle was not recovered at the residence, and no information was given to law enforcement to help determine the known whereabouts of the whistle. The whistle is a Star Brass steam whistle, which was cut from the locomotive while it was on display in Central Park.

DRAIN — The North Douglas High School defeated Mohawk 52-18 to open Special District 2 play.

“Mohawk's tough physical team and gave us some problems. And what I liked the most was, we were able to kind of figure them out. And kids made a mistake, didn't make it twice, and, you know, so that's good to see,” North Douglas head coach JJ Mast said.

“Still got a long way to go, but there's a lot of season left to go as well. So like I just told the kids, if we keep getting better at the rate we are, we’ll be a tough team at the end of the year.”

With the Mohawks standing stout and not being scared to use physicality and force to stop their opponents, Mast said the Warriors prepared to use shorter run options to keep the ball and clock moving. The team did a good job of buying into the game plan, working together, being patient and talking things through before stepping up to the line.

A pair of fourth quarter scores helped the Roseburg Indians get past Eagle Point 24-17 in a Class 5A Special District 5 contest on Friday night at Finlay Field.

In a game where both offenses struggled to find consistency and momentum, big plays by Roseburg's Leto White and Danner Wertz helped turn the score in the Tribe's favor and keep their undefeated record unblemished. 

"Definitely some places to work on but it feels good to be 5-0," said senior linebacker/running back Nick Ruiz.

"The effort tonight will not be good enough going forward and the boys know that," said Roseburg coach Matt Watson. "I'm frustrated that we let a team like Eagle Point, they're a good team, but I'm frustrated that we let them hang around. But I'm proud that at no point did they give up."

Relaxation is the primary goal of many vacations, but some travelers like to pair relaxation with learning. The “skillcation” trend combines a relaxing vacation with the personal growth that comes from learning a new skill, or building on one you already love.

A skillcation can be as intense as you want: you can spend a just few hours, or a full day, or most of your vacation in learning mode. However, you choose to approach it, challenging yourself to learn something can make a vacation more fulfilling. Spending some vacation time practicing what you learn can also help you take a break from the emails, texts, and social media posts you have to deal with in your daily life.

Now that Roseburg Schools Superintendent Jared Cordon has announced his recommendation that Fir Grove Elementary be closed as the district grapples with declining enrollment, some community members are wondering how the plan was determined.

The district’s 41-page ‘Aligning to Thrive’ document provides more information. Fir Grove currently serves around 200 students, which is the lowest enrollment number in the district among elementary schools. Under the proposed configuration, officials believe those students can be accommodated at nearby schools with available capacity without adding transportation costs or creating long bus rides. The proposed configuration would also require fewer students outside the Fir Grove attendance area to change schools than other options analyzed, according to the district.

The document said facility needs are another consideration. State facility assessments identify approximately $8.5 million in anticipated needs at Fir Grove over the next ten years to maintain existing building systems. Fir Grove has not undergone some of the extensive capital improvements made at other district schools, including a major seismic rehabilitation.

TRI CITY — The South Umpqua High School volleyball team fell in three sets to Marshfield in a Sky 'Em League match on Thursday.

"We definitely pushed through the game hard," South Umpqua junior Gracie Richardson said. "The first set was rough, and then we also were able to work around the messed up rotation (in the second), and we still pushed through. And then on our last set, I think we fought really hard."

Set scores were 25-8, 25-19, 25-20. While South Umpqua head coach Hannah Royal said it took the team some time to warm up in the first set, they competed well in the second and third sets.

Staff with the City of Reedsport are warning of bear sightings in that community.

City Recorder Rhonda Bryan said a mother bear with two cubs was spotted in the Bowman Road area. Bryan said other sightings have been close to Lower Umpqua Hospital, on Ranch Road and Ridgeway, and at other locations.

Residents are asked to be “BearWise” by securing garbage and keeping containers indoors until the day of collection, taking down bird feeders during active bear season or hanging them well out of reach, and keeping pet food inside. Doors, windows, and vehicles should be kept locked, so bears do not smell food inside.
