What's one issue in Douglas County you think isn't getting enough attention?
The twang of a mandolin and banjo; The warmth of the June sun; The smell of grilling sausages and freshly popped kettle corn. Roseburg's Stewart Park came alive on Tuesday with these sensations and more as Music on the Half Shell kicked off its 2026 free concert series.

The opening performance featured the John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band, also known as J2B2. Featuring instrumentalists Mark Fain, Herb Pedersen, Patrick Sauber and the titular Jorgensen, the band performed a lineup of folk-rock influenced bluegrass that blended new and traditional sounds.

Jorgenson said the band hoped to provide the audience with a chill, laid-back experience where they can forget about the weight of the world and enjoy no-frills musicianship.

"We want to let them forget about all of the political stuff and the financial stuff and all the stuff that's challenging and just chill out and listen to the music, get lost a little bit," Jorgenson said. "It's not tapes. It's not visuals. It's not dancers. It's not anything except people with actual instruments singing and playing. It's very real."

MYRTLE CREEK — Lexie Pickering of Canyonville spent Sunday afternoon preparing herself and her horse Eleanor to join in the barrel racing competition in the South Douglas Rodeo.

"I've been riding since I was like probably like six years old, riding ponies around so a long time," Pickering said. "We've always had a horse around the house."

She said she began competing in about fourth grade, when she joined 4H and got to experience all the rodeo side of horses. Barrel racing became her main sport.

Now at 19 years old, she said she competes most weekends either in rodeos or in other barrel racing competitions.

"I love coming and, like, hanging out with my friends and family at rodeos, and it's always fun to go and compete," Pickering said.

She just finished up her freshman year at Oregon State University, where she is majoring in animal science with plans to attend veterinary school and become a equine sports medicine veterinarian. She said she was interested in this field after competing on horses for much of her life and engaging in some internships with good veterinarians who encouraged her on this route.

She has a spot to keep her horse in Corvallis, so she can stay in shape and keep riding while attending school. The South Douglas Rodeo is her hometown rodeo, she said, and it was fun to come home for the weekend and play in familiar grounds.

"I'll be in Tillamook next weekend and then over the Fourth (of July) will do the Newport and Yoncalla rodeos and then so on with every other weekend," Pickering said.

The 44th Annual South Douglas Rodeo saw riders from across Oregon and California compete in all rodeo events during the warm Father's Day weekend Saturday and Sunday. Event organizer Jamie McElmurry said the rodeo weather was perfect with a breeze coming off of North Myrtle Creek.

On a typical afternoon, Roseburg workers might choose to spend their lunch break getting tacos, burgers, pizza or deli sandwiches. But on Monday, a crowd of diners lined up to get a taste of something brick-and-mortar restaurants in town center their menu around: Chicken wings.

Over the weekend, a new Wingstop location opened its doors at 2034 Northwest Stewart Pkwy. at the Roseburg Marketplace Shopping Center to the public for the first time.

Since its founding in Texas in 1994, Wingstop has grown to operate 2,500 locations across the globe. Like other locations, the Roseburg eatery offers fried chicken wings, sandwiches and tenders as well as fries and corn on the cob, but is takeout only.

The first sign of Wingstop's arrival was in April, when a sign was erected on the exterior of the building. According to the City of Roseburg's site approval, it is taking over part of space for a new Round Table Pizza slated to open later this year.

Since opening, the store has seen a steady stream of customers, with filled lobbies and lines stretching out the door as both newcomers and longtime fans of the brand waited for orders.

The Roseburg City Council will consider two project bid awards and the ratification of a labor contract as part of its meeting Monday night.

The city received bids for the Pavement Management 2026 Slurry Seals project in May. Slurry seals are a preventative maintenance treatment used to prolong the life of a paved surface. A number of streets are scheduled to receive the treatment this summer. The Public Works Commission has recommended that the council award the project to the lowest responsible bidder Pave Northwest for just over $212,000.

Councilors will also vote on awarding a bid for the Southeast Stephens Street Pavement and Curb Ramp Improvements project. Approximately 2,200 lineal feet of the street will have grinding and repaving work from the south city limits to Southeast Brockway Avenue. The lowest bid for the work is from Knife River Materials for just over $733,000.

The council will vote on approving a tentative three-year collective bargaining agreement between the city and the International Association of Firefighters Local 1110. It includes a 3 percent pay increase each year.

Councilors will also vote on accepting a grant offer from the Federal Aviation Administration for just over $491,000. That covers 95 percent of the costs for the environmental review and design of the Airport Runway and South Apron Rehabilitation project.

Mayor Larry Rich will proclaim July as Parks and Recreation Month.

OAKLAND — A dastardly, yet well-dressed, villain. The intriguing development of a love triangle. A trustworthy detective keeping an eye everywhere.

Drama is developing on the Umpqua Valley Railroad dining car.

"The purpose of a melodrama is to be funny," Bette Keehley, playwright and director, said. "It's not a drama, we're not going to make anybody cry — well, we might if they laugh too hard. It's just a funny thing, and the more people participate, the more fun they have."

The Oakland Community Theater opened week 1 of the free 22nd annual Melodrama in the Park on Friday, with a comedy of romance, intrigue and railroad ruin called "Choo-Choo Chicanery". The performance will be open again this upcoming weekend at City Park in Oakland, beginning at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Refreshments of popcorn, ice cream and drinks are available on site for a price. The venue is located on Southeast Maple Street, behind Sterns Hardware.

"We have a different kind of theme each time," Keehley said, mentioning that the 2025 play surrounded buttons and in 2024 the theme was money in the bank.

It can take years of practice for musicians to hone their skills into a career-worthy craft. For two Douglas County graduates, their years of hard work are finally paying off as they look forward to futures in higher education.

Those two students are Ari Allgaier and Elian Martinez, who were each accepted into colleges following their graduations from Roseburg High School and Glide High School respectively.

This fall, Allgaier will travel east to the Boston-based Berklee College of Music to study music education, while Martinez will head north to study vocal performance at Portland State University.

Both artists attribute their success to support from one organization in particular: The Jean Bechtel School for Music, a Roseburg-based institution which offers private lessons to singers and instrumentalists.

The Roseburg Dr. Stewart’s American Legion baseball team beat the Baseballism Wet Sox 6-4 on Thursday to begin play in the Father’s Day Tournament hosted at Champion Car Wash Field.

Roseburg (2-5) took a 3-0 lead in the first inning and twice led Baseballism (7-3) by three runs, but the Wet Sox rallied to within a run twice to keep the contest close.
