On a day where Umpqua Valley Christian coach Dave York said the pitching and defense wasn't at its best, junior Ryan Shaver took up the slack with his best offensive game of the year. Shaver was 4-for-4 with eight RBIs and UVC powered its way back to the Class 2A/1A state semifinals with a 15-7 win over Heppener/Ione on Friday at Champion Car Wash Field. The Monarchs will head to Turner, Ore. where they'll face Crosshill Christian in their fourth consecutive semifinals appearance at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. "It's just so cool to see these guys accomplish something that no one thought they were going to do. Really proud of them," York said. Shaver's biggest swing of the game came in the second inning with two outs and the bases loaded. The junior blasted a 1-0 pitch from Mustangs' starter Keaton Coiner well beyond the left field fence for a grand slam that put Umpqua Valley Christian (23-6) ahead 8-1. "Right after I made contact I knew it was going. Just the adrenaline carried me to still sprint (towards first base)," Shaver said. It was the first home run of the season for Shaver who said "It felt so good. It felt amazing." For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

Across his career as a teacher in Douglas County, Martin Follose has dealt with students who have a tendency to lash out or, often due to unfortunate circumstances unseen by the average person. Now, he's debuting a brand new original play with the Umpqua Actors Community Theatre to show the public, and anyone going through difficult times, that there is hope. The play, directed and written by Follose, is "The Cuckoo Clock," which debuts at the Betty Long Unruh Theater on June 4 and runs Thursdays through Sundays until June 21. The story follows Mark and Ethel, a grandson and grandmother who are forced to live together in the midst of their own personal tragedies. As they work to find a way through their struggles, they will learn about the power of love and hope in the face of regrets and traumas. Follose said he was inspired to write the story following a personal experience with an out-of-control student, who lived with a loving yet overwhelmed grandmother, who was going through personal struggles. He hopes the story encourages viewers to withhold judgement on others who may have more going on behind the scenes. "I hope that they understand when they see a kid at school or on the streets or something, they never know what that kid is going through," Follose said. "I want people to understand there are kids who can rise above all that and there are kids who cannot...that kid they're looking at, that may not be the perfect kid, may have a thousand reasons not to be a perfect kid and none of it is their fault."

Sutherlin High School senior Elizabeth Britton said the symphonic band went to the OSAA Class 3A State Band Championship with hopes to place on the podium. "We got to go to state, and we were not really expecting anything big, we're just gonna try out best and have fun," Britton said. "And I think that's really what helped us get through it, you know, we just did it for fun and for the experience." The Sutherlin High School band won first place at the 2026 OSAA State Band Championship in mid-May in Corvallis, scoring a total 291 points. Oregon Episcopal placed second with 274 points and Westside Christian third with 260. "I always wanted to set a school record and like be remembered once I leave high school, but I've never done any like FFA things or any sports so I knew it wasn't really going to happen," Britton said. "But this is literally the first tine our school's ever won, so we're going to be remembered for that and that's amazing." For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

Eli Weight might be graduating from Yoncalla High School but has plans to return to a classroom soon enough. "I'm actually going to [Umpqua Community College] for their elementary education program, because that was always one of my plans," Weight said. Weight grew up in Yoncalla before the dad moved the family out to North Dakota, where they spent six years. Unfortunately, according to Weight, North Dakota was not very kind. "I went through some mental health struggles," Weight said. "I was going through some very severe struggles and got to a very bad point in my life. GPA was like a 0.20." The large school atmosphere, attending a middle school and then high school with over 1,400 students, Weight said was not quite for them. Plus, the weather there can get rather cold.

TRI CITY — A home run by South Umpqua High School's Khylan Murphy started things for the softball team in the second inning. "Softball just comes naturally to me, I've been working really hard basically my whole life and I just love to play," the freshman first base monitor said, adding that this was her first ball over the fence at home for the Lancers. The No. 2-ranked Lancers swept No. 18 Santiam Christian 10-0 on Wednesday to dominate the second round of the OSAA Class 3A softball state playoffs. The game ended after six innings due to the mercy rule. "We had a little bit of a slow start," senior catcher Danika Richardson said. "It was Ky's home run. She just got it started for us, and then after that we all just started hitting the ball pretty good." Head coach JP Kelley said the team hit the ball fairly well and did a great job working on improving pitch recognition as the playoffs bring competition from all different styles of pitchers. "At the plate, we were swinging up some bad pitches and letting some good pitches go, so we got some work to do there," Kelley said. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

TRI CITY — The South Umpqua High School baseball team had a common consensus following Wednesday's win over Horizon Christian, Tualatin — shortstop Brock Well's clutch catches kept their season alive in that round 2 state playoff game. "We had some heart. We let up some runs in the first couple innings, but our team didn't die out," Lancers starting pitcher Camden Black said. "We're out in the field and Brock Wells makes a great diving play, and everybody is going crazy. So then we come in the dugout and I started us off, and then everybody just got energy off of that and we kept moving." Black sent up a single, and that started off the bats for the Lancers in the bottom of the second inning. The No. 7-ranked Lancers used the six-run inning to propel themselves ahead of the No. 10 Hawks, where they stayed until the final 9-3 score was recorded. The team will advance to the quarterfinal game against No. 2 Cascade Christian, a familiar matchup for the team. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

EUGENE — The Roseburg Indians saw the season come to an end after a rollercoaster of a game against the Willamette Wolverines in the second round of the Class 6A state playoffs Wednesday at Floyd Ogden Field. The two Southwest Conference foes traded the lead five times over the seven-inning contest, but a five-run fifth inning was the difference for the Wolverines in an 8-7 decision. "It was a well-fought ballgame there," Roseburg coach Troy Thompson said. "Both teams had a chance to respond and did. It would have been nice to minimize some things in the telling fifth inning, but it didn't work out for us today and good job by Willamette for putting that pressure on." "Credit to our kids for playing themselves into that position, having a lead and doing a good job and having some very good swings and good offensive approaches today," Thompson added. Roseburg ended the year with a 16-12 overall record. Willamette (19-9) moves on to face Jesuit in the quarterfinals on Friday in Portland. For More Information Please Visit www.NRTODAY.COM

Four new exhibits are set to open this Friday at Umpqua Valley Arts (UVA), bringing Roseburg locals new works to view through the summer season before they close on August 14. The Hallie Brown Ford Gallery will house the exhibit "Biology Rising: The Origins of Hope" by artist Julie Anderson Bailey. The collection consists of a series of abstract installation pieces and sculptures inspired by aquatic life, the earth's ecosystems and humanity's relationship with nature and the environment. In her artist's statement for the exhibit, Bailey writes she aimed to portray natural subjects in a way that highlights the physical and emotional impacts they have on humanity. "When we look closely at the world around us, the connections woven through nature reveal why we love the living world and our affinity for life in all forms," reads Bailey's artist statement. "In this body of work, I combine traditional techniques...in new ways to create nature-framed objects and installations echoing how life begins and sustains and how nature stirs up our emotions and provides hope for the future by its sheer audacity of evolution and its resilience over time." Across from Bailey's exhibit is the Red Door Gallery, where the multi-artist exhibit "Malleable" is on display. A collection of work from artists across the pacific northwest, it consists entirely of sculptures made from soft materials such as fabric, felt or plastic.

The Umpqua Valley Christian/Camas Valley softball team used a couple big innings to advance past East Linn Christian, with a 19-8 victory on Monday in round 1 of the OSAA Class 1A state playoffs. No. 15-ranked UVC/CV hosted No. 18 East Linn Christian at Stewart Park in Roseburg. Head coach Greg Stiles said it was a fun game. “It was fun playing, I mean, the girls stayed there and fought, they hit the ball well which kept us in the game,” Stiles said. “Both teams hit the ball pretty well.” The Monarchs were smart about their base running throughout the game, Stiles said, seeing past the balls and reading bad throws to see how far they could advance based on where the ball fell.

It isn't always easy for visual arts students to make a name for themselves, especially in rural communities such as Douglas County where resources are fewer. But at Umpqua Community College (UCC), one group of prospective artists have the opportunity to do so with this year's Annual Student Art Exhibition. Each year, the semi-juried exhibition presents student works chosen by UCC instructors in the college's art gallery, located in the Whipple Fine Arts Center. Mediums featured in the exhibition include sculpture, painting, pottery, photography and illustration, with subjects ranging from nature to portraiture to abstract geometry. UCC Visual Arts Instructor said the exhibition serves as a way for community members to gain an inside look at what local creatives get up to in their education, as well as providing students a chance to celebrate the fruits of their labor. "We have a lot of students who've never even taken an art course before," Hoffman said. "They're in a class, they're working hard and their classmates see what they're doing but the community doesn't, and so a lot of them don't realize, until stuff is up on the wall, 'Hey, I actually made art. Something that is a physical manifestation of my time and my effort is now there on a gallery wall." For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

Just before heading into their Memorial Day weekend, a group of students from Fir Grove Elementary gathered on Friday to recognize veterans in their own way: Planting flags. According to Fir Grove child development specialist Corina Van Burger, students from kindergarten to third grade paired up to plant over 6,000 American flags on the graves and memorials of veterans interred at the Roseburg VA National Cemeteries. Van Burger said across the 30 years the school has held the annual tradition, they still hear from former students on how it has affected them. “It’s a tradition that we really look forward to and we really talk to our kids about the honor that it is to be able to go out and place these flags,” Van Burger said. “We have students that still come back and talk about how much they appreciated that opportunity when they drive by the flags.” For More Information Please Visit www.NRToday.com

For most Americans, their primary sources of goods may be a supermarket farmers market or maybe even a delivery service. Not Ashlee Reicherts. For her, food, supplements and skincare products are as close as a stroll into her own backyard. Reicherts, an avid forager, says she may be better known as “the elderberry lady.” Since the COVID-19 pandemic, she’s been obsessed with making her own salves, tinctured and edible goods from the flora around her in the Sutherlin area. Some of her favorite things to harvest are right on her property; usnia, also known as old man’s beard, can be used to make supplements or tinctures for respiratory infections, while dandelions and purple dead nettle can be used in cooking and baking or made into teas. “It’s amazing what’s literally right in your yard,” Reicherts said. And it’s not just a hobby. Reicherts has turned her passion for foraging into a small business, Moonlight Foraging, where she frequently sells bath bombs, lotions and more made from her handpicked materials.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — When Carter Stedman steps on the track at the University of North Carolina Asheville for the men's 5,000 meter national championship race Friday afternoon, it will be a moment he planned for, but not one he expected. "It's not anywhere I thought I would be at this point in my life, for sure, but you know, I have the opportunity. I've worked really hard to get here, and at this point, it's just about taking advantage of it," Stedman said ahead of his race from his hotel room in Asheville. The 2023 Roseburg High School graduate is now a college junior and in his first year at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. He earned his way to the NAIA Outdoor Championships by virtue of his third place finish in the 5K at the Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) on May 9. "We went to LaGrande a couple weeks ago, and I ran really well there (at the CCC championships). And so I think just kind of carrying that momentum at a championship meet from a conference level to a national level is something that's really important," Stedman said. Stedman is seeded 12th in a field of 20 with his personal best time of 14 minutes, 28 seconds set earlier this spring. He's confident going into the race and has had previous success on the national stage after a fourth place finish in the NAIA cross country championships during the fall.

On Wednesday, a joint press release from Douglas County-based health and public safety organizations revealed a bat has tested positive for rabies. According to the press release, it is the first animal in Douglas County to test positive for the virus in 2026, as well as this year's fourth positive case in Oregon. The last bat to test positive for rabies in Douglas County was in 2021. The incident began when the Douglas County Environmental Health Division (DCEHD) partnered with Umpqua Wildlife Rescue and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office Animal Control Division (DCSOACD) to test a distressed bat brought in for care by a resident. After testing, the Oregon Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory reported the bat had tested positive for rabies. The press release states the resident is encouraged to undergo post-exposure care after handling the bat. For More Information Please Visit www.NRToday.com
