A contractor for the Oregon Department of Transportation is continuing work on Oregon 42 in the Green District near Roseburg.

According to ODOT spokesperson Dan Latham, the west end of Grant Smith Road is scheduled to close Sunday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday.

A detour will direct drivers from Grant Smith Road along Ingram Drive, Speedway Road and Old Highway 99 to Oregon 42.

Latham said the closure will allow contractors to pave local road approaches.

If work remains on schedule, contractors are expected to begin paving Oregon 42 travel lanes Monday night from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Tuesday. The paving work could involve lane closures on Oregon 42 and temporary closures of side roads connecting to the highway.

Drivers are encouraged to watch for updates on roadside message boards.

The work is part of the $11.97 million Oregon 42: Lookingglass Creek to Interstate 5 Paving and Safety Improvements project.

The Douglas County Board of Commissioners issued a proclamation Wednesday recognizing National Nurses Week during its weekly business meeting.

According to a county release, the proclamation calls on residents to observe National Nurses Week, which continues through May 12.

Commissioner Chris Boice presented the proclamation and said the recognition carried personal significance because his son, Allen, recently graduated from nursing school.

Commissioner Tom Kress presented Nurse Appreciation Week certificates to nurses and administrators representing CHI Mercy Health, Aviva Health, Umpqua Health Alliance, United Community Action Network’s Nurse Home Visiting Program, the Roseburg VA Medical Center, the Umpqua Community College nursing program and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Division.

Umpqua Valley Farmers Market plans to expand from one block to two blocks on SE Jackson Street in downtown Roseburg later this month.

Board President Meredith Bliss told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that the market operates year-round every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and currently occupies the 500 block of Jackson Street.

Bliss said the market is seeing an increase in vendors as the summer season approaches, prompting the organization to expand into the 600 block of Jackson Street beginning May 23.

According to Bliss, the expanded layout will continue through the busy summer season while working alongside downtown businesses and restaurants to create a vibrant Saturday destination featuring local produce, baked goods, artisan products and prepared foods.

Market Manager Jaime Gleixner said the farmers market began with a small group of farmers in 1994 and has since grown to nearly 100 vendors offering products they have grown, raised, cooked or created themselves.

The market also accepts SNAP/EBT benefits. Customers can bring their Oregon Trail card to the information booth to receive tokens for qualifying food purchases and can receive up to $20 extra for produce and plant starts through the Double Up Food Bucks program each week.

The Roseburg Area Chamber of Commerce's (RACC) vision statement is "to advocate for and be the voice of the business community in the greater Roseburg area."

Its new president and CEO wants to add a tagline alongside that vision: "Stronger business. Stronger community. Stronger Roseburg."

On April 6, Kira Zavala officially stepped into those roles, in which she is responsible for implementing policy and goals for the chamber, and ensuring it follows standards.

Prior to her appointment, she served as The Chamber of Medford and Jackson County's Vice President of Operations & Membership. She also serves as Vice Chair of the Western Association of Chamber Executives Emerging Leaders Council.

Zavala said the work led her to discover a passion for one core value: Collaboration. Now, she said she plans to help further opportunities for collaboration in Roseburg.

"I loved meeting people. I loved helping connect people, helping them solve their problems. It was a lot of fun," Zavala said. "I think we need to be good partners in our community ... No one organization can do it alone, no matter how big they are. You have to have to have buy-in and partnerships in the community. Many hands make light work, and I'm a firm believer in that."

In most productions with musical numbers, the songs are woven into the story itself. But next week, Umpqua Community College (UCC) Theater Arts and The Umpqua Singers are partnering for a unique blend of concert and theater with “Almost, Maine.”

Set in the unincorporated community of Almost, a fictional rural community in Maine where reality doesn’t always apply. The story is an anthology, following nine comedic short stories which explore the highs and lows of romance with a mythical twist.

According to director Bart McHenry, UCC’s new adaptation of the play will have a major difference from the 2004 original script; This version of the story features a number of original songs written by UCC director of music Jason Heald.

Between each of the anthology’s short stories, The Umpqua Singers will perform a song number inspired by the play’s themes. UCC associate professor of music Debra Gaddis said the process of practicing with students has been a learning experience.

“The function of these particular pieces is to summarize the previous scene,” Gaddis said. “This is brand new music to me too, so I’m learning it along with them...what I like about it is this particular play lends itself to a lot of creativity according to what the director envisions.”

BANDON — The Roseburg Indians girls' golf team finished third in the Southwest Conference district tournament on Tuesday at Bandon Crossings and will advance as a team to the Class 6A Special District 3 Regional tournament next week for a chance to earn a spot in the state tournament later this month. 

The RHS girls improved by 45 strokes as a team on Day 2 of the tournament and sophomore Lana Silvestri shot the only round under par as she led the way with a first place finish on the individual leaderboard. 

"(I) was happy to not only see the scores drop a little bit, but the girls' attitudes all week were great. They were ready to battle," Roseburg coach Devin Caylor said. "We had a lot more breaks go our way (on Tuesday). The girls battled on the back-nine."

Silvestri shot 84 in the first round Monday on the par 72 course. She wasn't able to card a single birdie, but came out and sank seven birdies in the second round on Tuesday to finish 2-under for the day. Her two-day score of 154 was 23 strokes better than second place finishers Waka Tsukamoto from South Eugene and Katie Myers from Sheldon. 

"(Silvestri) was giving herself opportunities (on Day 1), the putter just wasn't very hot," Caylor said. "She had a little bit more swagger to her (on Day 2). You could see that she had a little bit more confidence and she wanted to get after it. She wasn't happy with her (first) round, so instead of hanging her head she was like 'I'm going to get it today.'" 

Irelyn Weaver (216), Raeleigh Traviss (225) and Mylie Ray (230) all finished in the top 15 for the Indians. 

Sheldon claimed the district title by two strokes over Grants Pass and punched its ticket to the Class 6A state tournament May 18-19 at OGA Golf Course in Woodburn. 

The one-day Regional tournament tees off on Tuesday at Eagle Point Golf Club. Roseburg will compete against Grants Pass, North Medford and South Salem for a top two finish to earn a spot as a team in the state tournament. The top two individuals not on a state qualifying team will also earn a berth in the state tournament.

TRI CITY — For now, the South Umpqua High School softball team can keep the No. 1 spot in the Far West League.

"Jeremiah always shows up and he always puts a good team on the field," Kelley said.

After all, the teams will meet again Friday, with a doubleheader scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. in Glide. A Lancers sweep on Friday could clear the way for a commanding league title.
