DAYS CREEK — The gym at Days Creek Charter School was filled with people looking all around the room at the displays, art and other items in the room, all created by students at the school.

The Night to Shine Academic/Arts Fair allowed the students to display their science display boards, art projects — both individual and group ones — and other cool things they made at school. It was also a good night for the superintendent finalists to show up and mingle with the community that one of them could be serving next year.

The board selected two finalists, Daye Stone and Corrine Buich.

The Umpqua Fishery Enhancement Derby, in partnership with Powerhouse Electric, has funded and installed a permanent backup generator at the Rock Creek Hatchery, which will support its North Umpqua spring Chinook rearing program.

Frequent summer and fall power outages have posed ongoing challenges for hatchery operations, which rely on continuous access to clean, filtered water through drum filtration and UV treatment systems, Tina Roy, a member of the Derby Committee, said in a news release.

“These systems are essential to maintaining the health and survival of juvenile fish during a critical stage of development," she said.

Recognizing the need for a long-term solution, the Derby invested in the purchase of a generator-eliminating the need for costly annual rentals and ensuring reliable, uninterrupted operation for years to come, Roy said.

Powerhouse Electric further demonstrated its community commitment through an in-kind donation, providing expertise and services for the research, procurement, delivery, installation, and operator training associated with the project, she said.

This enhancement is expected to significantly improve fish survival rates, enabling the hatchery to release strong, healthy smolts that will return as harvestable adult Chinook for both ocean and freshwater fisheries, said Roy, who is also program manager for Douglas Timber Operators.

Aviva Health plays an important role in providing access to care, and I’m focused on listening, learning and supporting the staff who deliver that care every day," Hull wrote. "There’s a solid foundation in place, and my priority is to ensure continuity, stability and continued focus on our patients and community."

Hull comes into the role with over 30 years in healthcare leadership. Following work as a phlebotomist, her served as the regional health care planning manager and assistant capital asset manager with VISN 10.

Hull also served as the Veteran's Health Administration activations program manager, overseeing a budget between $600 million and $1.2 billion dollars. In Illinois, he was instrumental in merging the North Chicago VA Medical Center and Navy Hospital into the Lovell Federal Health Care Center.

On Wednesday the Douglas County Board of Commissioners held a meeting in which they approved grant agreements for community services and a park rehabilitation and discussed the drafting of a resolution on homelessness.

Two grant agreements were approved by the board. The first of these is between the county and the State of Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) for $1,071,020 for the Improving People's Access to Community-Based Treatment, Supports, and Services (IMPACTS) Grant program.

According to the CJC, the program aims to address shortages of community services for people with mental health or substance use disorders, possibly resulting in criminal justice involvement, hospitalizations or institutionalizations.

This grant agreement supports programs which service these individuals such as mobile crisis and sobering center resources, detox services and crisis resolution rooms. It also supports Chadwick Clubhouse, an organization providing non-clinical support for people struggling with mental health.

When Roseburg Beauty College closed nearly a decade ago, prospective cosmetologists were left without a local avenue for education. This year, a new business plans to change that.

That business is Opal & Onyx Salon, located at 122 N State Street in Sutherlin. After five months in business, it celebrated its grand opening on April 4, giving old and new clients a chance to see the new space and try out the beauty services on offer.

The business provides several classic beauty services, including nails, pedicures, lashes and aesthetics. In October, tattoo artist Jena Rackley will move in as well, expanding Opal & Onyx's offerings.

The Roseburg City Council set an ambitious agenda for Monday night's regular and study meetings. A primary topic was prioritizing the efforts of city staff in addressing the unhoused community, but the overwhelming majority of speakers from the audience had other ideas. 

Other momentous topics were the celebration of multiple city volunteers, in a proclamation of Volunteer Recognition Month, and a finalization of the cooperative project with Umpqua Community College on the medical education center. 

The audience, however, wanted to continue last month's discussion regarding the possibility of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement potentially seeking office space in Roseburg.

For Nicholas “Nick” Mitchell, moving from California to Douglas County in 2018 was not a culture shock. The Fallbrook, Calif. native grew up in an unincorporated, agricultural community and told The News-Review he understands the role that agriculture plays in rural communities.

On Nov. 25, 2025, Mitchell filed to run for Douglas County Commissioner, in the Position One seat currently held by Commissioner Tom Kress, who has filed for re-election. Additional candidates for Position One are Devlan Sorensen and Lorrie Wick.

Although Mitchell works in technology now, he did not necessarily grow up that way. As he told The News-Review, he spent his childhood summers in the barns of county fairs, showing the champion sheep and cattle he raised in large fairs as far away as Los Angeles and San Diego.

According to emergency radio traffic Thursday, and a press release from the Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA), cooler weather and rain Thursday afternoon were assets in controlling multiple wildfires that occurred during a lightning storm. 

The kinetic afternoon for firefighters began around 1:30 p.m. when the Kellogg Rural Fire Department responded to a natural cover fire in the 8000 block of Tyee Road in Umpqua, west of Sutherlin. They found a fire measuring approximately two acres, moving at moderate speed uphill in steep terrain. 

DFPA arrived at approximately 2:13 p.m. with fire engines and assumed command and responsibility from the Kellogg Rural Fire Department. By end of business the fire had been confirmed at a size of 1.8 acres, but was successfully surrounded by firefighters with fire breaks, plumbed with fire hose, mopped up and turned back over to the owners. 

Meanwhile, DFPA crews were also responding to Bear Creek Road, approximately 20 mies south in an area west of Roseburg and north of Tenmile, where an industrial operator fire was being fought with resources by a private landowner. 

According to DFPA, this second fire was measured at between 15 and 20 acres, and for operational purposes was named the Baby Bear Fire. DFPA crews arrived to find the flames to be occurring mostly within the boundaries of the industrial operation, and without spreading into the adjacent stands of timber. 

DFPA reportedly called for additional help, and was assisted by the Coos Forest Protective Association. By the end of business Thursday, the combined fire crews had surrounded approximately 60% of the affected area with fire breaks.
