Saving Grace Humane Society has a kitten adoption special now through this Friday, July 3rd.

Development and Communications Manager Cyn Demers said all kitten adoption fees are discounted to only $50 each, down from their normal cost of $110. Demers said all kittens are spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, and flea/tick preventatives and microchipped. Plus, all adoptions come with discount couples for local pet supply stores.

Demers said people are encouraged to adopt two kittens, because they always do better in pairs. With the reduced fee, it’s essentially a two for the price of one special. The adoption special needs to be mentioned at the time of the adoption to get the reduced fee.

A quiet Saturday evening in Roseburg was interrupted by billowing smoke and several explosions as a raging house fire caused severe structural damage to a two-story home on NE Beulah Drive.

According to the Roseburg Fire Department (RFD), firefighters responded to the fire at 10:06 p.m. after receiving reports of fire visible outside the residence which had spread to trees.

Upon arriving, first responders saw a full garage fire as multiple explosions went off, later found to be caused by propane tanks and an oxygen tank. Fire had also spread to nearby brush and an adjacent residential building. Crews then extinguished the fires and prevented forward spread to other structures.

Despite a bout of chilly rains on Saturday morning, a crowd had gathered outside Elks Lodge No. 1943 in Myrtle Creek to get a first glimpse at a new feature for the town, hidden behind a large black sheet. At 10 a.m., it was pulled from the building's exterior to reveal a brand new mural, the first completed in a planned series of upcoming beautifications.

The artwork, made by painters Shane Kelly and Kaley Kelly, is part of an ongoing project by the Myrtle Creek Mural Committee (MCMC) to decorate buildings across the town with original artworks highlighting the town's culture.

According to committee board member Jessica Sharon, the MCMC was formed as a result of last year's Imagine Myrtle Creek meetings, in which citizens expressed a desire to see beautification efforts. For her, the Kelly's mural is an exciting first step.

"We just want to add vibrancy and color to the town, make it more of a destination," Sharon said.

The Kelly's mural is filled with imagery relating to the South County, featuring an elk walking through a patch of wildflowers native to the area. The scene is decorated with a number of symbols and patterns used in the basketry of local tribes.

"They city's slogan and out theme is 'where nature is your neighbor,' so we really wanted to encompass the local wildlife and flora of this area," Painter and MCMC president Shane Kelly said. "I love Myrtle Creek and I love Douglas County, so I'm just excited to bring some art to town."

Normally, Umpqua Valley Arts (UVA) can only feature a handful of artists and crafters at a time through its exhibits. But this weekend, over 100 of them got the chance to present themselves at once through the organization's Summer Arts Festival.

Not even a bout of pouring rain could keep crowds from the festivities on Friday as they browsed wares, dined on food from local vendors and enjoyed live music from a lineup of performers.

UVA Exhibitions Coordinator Ashley Cluver said the event brings in a wide variety of arts to browse, showcasing an assortment of different skillsets and styles.

"It brings a diverse exhibit of different kinds of art and different levels of it too," Cluver said. "We have artists from all stages of their career here. We have artists in different mediums and styles, so you get a huge array of different people with different creative techniques."

As the summer season progresses, Oregonians are likely to take to waterways on their kayaks, paddle boards or rafts. But are they prepared to pay $20 to do so?

The Let Us Paddle PAC announced on June 23 it has collected over 35,000 signatures for Initiative Petition 53, which aims to repeal a waterway access permit requirement that extends to small non-motorized watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, rafts, paddle boards and non-motorized boats.

To make it onto a ballot, Initiative Petition 53 requires 117,113 signatures by 5 p.m. on July 2.

The requirements started at the beginning of the year as a part of House Bill 2982, which removed an exemption for watercraft under 10 feet in size to require a permit. According to the Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB), failure to present a permit can result in a $115 fine.

The requirement comes with certain exceptions. Children 13-years-old and younger are not required to carry a permit. Neither are tribal citizens engaged in tribal fishing or ceremonies. Lifeboats used exclusively for rescue, surfboards, sailboards, kiteboards and seaplanes are also exempt from permit requirements.
