Hundreds of Douglas Electric Cooperative customers in north county were without power for hours on Thursday after a tree fell into a power line

DEC Chief Operating Officer Phil Bigler said the outage began around 12:00 p.m. and affected over 500 members in the area north of Drain, including Curtin and Territorial Highway. Bigler said since the utility has its wildfire-season protection settings currently set to be more sensitive, the outage affected a larger area than it might have otherwise.

Bigler said the large tree fell from outside their right of way, breaking one pole and completely stripping another in a hard to access area. Bigler said power was restored to all members shortly before 10:00 p.m.

Umpqua Watersheds is presenting the 40th annual River Appreciation Day on Saturday at River Forks Park, northwest of Roseburg.

The event will feature live music, local food, environmental education, family activities, art, and opportunities to connect with the rivers that have shaped southwest Oregon’s history, economy and way of life.

After the local celebration began four decades ago, it helped to inspire broader statewide recognition. In 1989, Oregon officially proclaimed River Appreciation Day and the annual event has continued ever since as a reminder that healthy rivers require both celebration and stewardship.

REDMOND — The Roseburg Dr. Stewart's will play in the Oregon AAA American Legion baseball state tournament later this month after clinching the final berth out of Area 4 with a split against the Central Oregon Generals on Tuesday at the Jaqua Sports Complex. 

The Docs and Generals were fighting for the final tournament spot for Area 4, but Roseburg (17-11, 4-7 Area 4) needed just one win against Central Oregon (14-15, 2-10) to clinch a berth. Dr. Stewart's managed to bounce-back after a 1-0 loss in the opener to earn an 8-6 victory in Game 2.

"That second one was big and they knew it," Docs' coach Cody Walton said. "It took everybody. It took all the energy they had. So, very proud of them and excited to finish on that note."
When fresh graduates are laying out their futures, it might not always be obvious which path to take in their professional lives. But in Sutherlin, one initiative is working to give those youth guidance on how to take those first steps.

That initiative is Made For Trades, which has expanded its internship opportunities for students this year by helping four local graduates access hands-on learning and job opportunities.

They are described as a high-energy outlaw country band based in central Oregon, blending the grit of Americana, the swagger of southern rock, and the raw power of red dirt country, while putting their own stamp on classics by artists like Waylon Jenings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and others.

Around a dozen food vendors will be on site to offer a variety of meals, plus other vendors will have adult beverages and snacks on sale. A splash pad is available nearby to help families stay cool in the summer heat.
Last summer, Brian Prawitz stepped down from the role of Executive Director of the Umpqua Economic Development Partnership, leaving an empty space in the non-profit's leadership. After roughly a year, the non-profit announced that space is filled.

In a press release, the UEDP announced it has appointed Jeana Beam as its new executive director, starting in the role effective immediately. Beam's work history includes serving as Executive Director of Glide Revitalization and as a board member for the Umpqua Public Transportation District.

“We are excited to welcome Jeana Beam as Executive Director,” UEDP Board of Directors Outgoing Chair Matt Kowal said. “Jeana’s passion for our community, collaborative leadership style and commitment to economic opportunity make her the ideal person to guide the organization into its next chapter.”

According to the press release, Beam's responsibilities include working with local organizations and governments to advance community initiatives for job creation and supporting entrepreneurship as the non-profit focuses on business development.

Roseburg Optimist Club will have a 5K Zombie Run fundraising event this fall.

An Optimist release said it will take place on Saturday, October 17th in Roseburg’s Stewart Park. Check-in time is 8:00 a.m. with the race starting at 9:00 a.m.

Runners will endure the event, running through a zombie-invested course while they evaluate their speed, endurance and strength trying to avoid ravenous zombies! Runners will be given flags to wear on one side of their waist, like flag football. The flags represent their health. Zombies will try to steal those flags throughout the course. The 5K race is not recommended for children underage six. However, parents with strollers or dogs on leashes are welcome.

All participants will receive a free 5K Zombie Run T-shirt. A commemorative finisher medallion, race bib and snacks will be provided by Thrive Umpqua. Commemorative medallions will be for health races and those infected racers. Infected racers are those who have lost their flags to a zombie during the race.

Optimist organizer Val Gordon said the 5K Zombie Run was founded to celebrate happiness, healthiness and friendship. Gordon said all proceeds raised will support the Optimist Club’s youth programs, including Chalk Art in the Park, school snack packs, school hygiene kits, and the club’s Safety Day Program for schools.

Yoga in the Park, a longstanding City of Roseburg Parks and Recreation program now in its fourteenth year, returns to Stewart Park this summer. The free program offers community members an accessible way to enjoy movement, mindfulness, and time outdoors.

The 2026 program takes place every Saturday- from July 11 through August 29, from 10 to 11 a.m., in the grassy area beside the Half Shell at Stewart Park. Participants are invited to bring a mat or blanket, a water bottle, and a willingness to start the weekend with fresh air and gentle movement.

The program began in 2012, when the City of Roseburg and Body Balance Yoga Center partnered to bring a free recreation opportunity to Stewart Park. The idea was simple but powerful: combine yoga with one of Roseburg’s most peaceful outdoor settings. The park’s open green space, nearby river, and natural surroundings provide an ideal backdrop for a practice focused on breathing, balance, and relaxation.

SUTHERLIN — Dakota Mallory said the Sutherlin Stampede on Saturday was his first time competing in the Sutherlin Rodeo Arena.

But he was riding a bull he had met before, so he was ready for a rematch.

The Sutherlin Stampede hosted the Coastal Farm and Ranch Challenge of Champions Tour (CCT) for Stop #9 on Saturday, with over 20 bullriders competing for more season points. CCT Director Jason Maddox called the event a hometown event, considering the CCT calls Southern Oregon its home base.

Mallory said this is not his first time joining in the Challenge of Champions Tour, but unfortunately his luck still hasn't been great so far in 2026. In CCT standings, he's sitting at tied for 30st place with Levi Grey of Dairy, both having scored 86 points so far.

He just finished his first year competing at the professional level in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), which he said features a very different caliber bull from lower levels of competition.

"You get nice rider-friendly bulls in the Challenge of Champions, it's like a step closer from an amateur deal," Mallory explained. "But then you got the pro show where you got bigger caliber of people that have been in like the NFR (National Finals Rodeo)."

His first year of pro riding was a rough up-and-down season, he said, but it was fun. He got into the rodeo scene from watching it on TV and knowing his father rode a little bit, including a few times in collegiate competition.

In the Challenge of Champion Tour on Saturday, Daniel Espinoza and Garrett "Money" Crist tied for the top score with 85 points each. Chosen as top performer by the judges, Espinoza attempted a ride on the money bull to cap the event off but was unsuccessful.

On July 2, Round Table Pizza officially soft-opened for business at 2040 NW Stewart Parkway in Roseburg, returning to the town after the closure of The Clubhouse by Round Table Pizza in July 2025. Now, the restaurant is preparing for its grand opening on July 31.

The new Round Table Pizza features pizza, wings, salads and sandwiches, along with desserts like a giant oven-baked cookie, but bears a rebranded design, with a new black-and-white logo instead of the previous location’s multicolored sign. It is ran by a 21-person crew led by general manager Joshua Kuntz, and also features a game room with arcade games and prize machines.

For Kuntz, running a pizza restaurant is nothing unfamiliar, as his family was once in the business as well. He said leading Round Table Pizza is a chance to bring the community the kind of homey, friendly service he saw his relatives provide while growing up.

“I grew up in a pizza restaurant. My grandma and grandpa were the ones who built the Pizza Palace,” Kuntz said. “I was raised in the parlor and the sense of community was amazing. I want to bring that here. I want to embrace everybody and actually have them come in and feel like they’re at home. A nice, comfortable feel.”

On Saturday, over 40 years of annual automotive tradition came to a head across the greater Roseburg area as motorheads took part in a slew of Graffiti Weekend events.

The day kicked off with the 43rd Annual Stray Angels Show-n-Shine at Melrose Vineyards, where over 300 cars of varying makes, models and years came out to compete for plaques and trophies.

Among the competitors was Brookings resident Ken Miller, who brought a sky-blue 1963 Ford Galaxie. To him, car culture is about more than just competition; It's a chance to relive glory days.

"To drive an old car is nice, but when you're driving the same hood ornaments, the same dashboard, drive and drum, the same roads you drove 50 years ago, it's a time machine," Miller said. "When I'm driving in this car, I feel younger."
