The Castle Fire, burning in the Umpqua National Forest, is up to 1,400 acres as of late Sunday night.

A UNF update said the fire is burning in steep, rocky, cliff terrain. On Sunday, the fire continued backing and flanking with short runs where terrain and fuels aligned. Crews are making good progress. Seven air resources were actively engaged on the fire Sunday. Additionally, two hotshot crews, multiple type 2 crews, engines, falling modules, water tenders, and heavy equipment supported this fire. Personnel are burning line along containment lines.

For firefighter and recreator safety, South Umpqua Falls Campground and Day Use Area are closed under an administrative closure effective Monday. Additionally, dispersed camping in the area is also closed under an administrative and public safety closure.

Ten other fires on the Umpqua National Forest are now contained, controlled or are out.
MEDFORD — A couple of weeks ago, Amos Bowers was struggling to just make it from the parking lot to the dugout. A knee injury suffered during the Star Spangled Tournament in Corvallis over the Independence Day weekend had left the Dr. Stewart's catcher hobbled.

After weeks of rest and rehab, Bowers was back on the field Sunday and delivered the game-winning hit in a 3-2 walkoff victory against the Hillsboro Wet Sox that kept the Docs alive at the AAA American Legion state tournament.

"It meant everything to get back out on the field," said Bowers, who started at first base while his knee continues to improve.

"That's awesome right there," Docs head coach Cody Walton said. "That's electric for the guys and a gutsy finish. You know, that's a high-note to finish the day on there."

Bowers pulled a ground ball past Hillsboro third baseman Judah Campos to score Hayden Thompson and keep the Docs' season alive for one more day. Roseburg (20-14) will face the Portland Hillsdale Merchants in another elimination game at 3:30 p.m. Monday at Harry and David Field.

Chances are families were going to theaters in 2013, they were going to see Disney’s “Frozen,” a smash hit which grossed billions worldwide. Now, the Umpqua Actors Community Theatre welcomes audiences to experience the story in a new way: On stage.

This Thursday, the UACT will welcome audiences to for “Frozen,” an adaptation which brings the story, songs and magic of the global phenomenon to life with live music, puppetry, special effects and more.

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale “The Snow Queen,” “Frozen” follows two princesses, Anna and Elsa, who are driven apart when the latter is forced to control her magical ice powers. After a fight divides them even further, Anna must undergo an adventure across the Norwegian wilderness as the sisters must learn to reconnect or leave their kingdom frozen for good.

It’s a blend of lighthearted whimsy and dramatic emotion, one which requires its cast to balance those tones in equal measure. For actress Alyson Pinkelman, who plays Elsa, portraying that balance accurately required a focus on the character’s relatable internal struggles.

For 16 years, the Cooksey family has served up American classics to hungry diners across Southern Oregon. Now, they have expanded their cooking to Dillard with a new establishment: The Betty Boop Drive-In.

Opened in mid-June, the restaurant serves up diner-style American breakfast and lunch items, including burgers and fries, chili dogs, biscuits and gravy, omelettes, French dips and more.

After ordering from the drive-in's food-truck exterior, customer's move into the indoor dining room, decorated wall to wall with mid-century signage, memorabilia and collectables as classic pop and rock play over their meal.

The Cooksey's culinary journey goes back decades, to Terry Cooksey's days cooking for casinos on the Las Vegas strip. From there, he moved back to his home state of Oregon to open American Classic Diner in Coos Bay and then Hot Rod Diner in Myrtle Creek, which ran consecutively for 8 years each.

While technically retired from his cooking career, Terry Cooksey said he want to operate the Betty Boop Drive-In because it gives him a chance to do the same thing he's always loved: Providing his community with a good meal.

"I just like to serve the people. It's not about the money," Terry Cooksey said. "I don't really need to work, but I just want help the people out, give them some good food."
The Roseburg Dr. Stewart's closed out the 2026 regular season with a 4-3 walkoff win over the Lewis-Clark Twins Friday at Champion Car Wash Field.

Roseburg finished the regular season with a 19-12 overall record and now will prepare to face Corvallis in the first round of the Oregon AAA American Legion baseball state tournament 1 p.m. Saturday at Medford's Harry and David Field.

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.

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.
