WINSTON — Ian Markert said he started arm wrestling his dad since he was little, and he arm wrestles with other children at his school. When he heard about the Roseburg Arm Wrestling Club about two months ago, he decided to start attending the Friday afternoon practices to get better at the sport. "It's amazing. I really love arm wrestling, and it used to just be this activity that I did in high school, but now I get to compete," the 15-year-old from Roseburg said. "I like practicing with my friends. It's really fun, but in competition, it's really nice to meet some cool people." He first attended the Bronze Crown tournament in March, following it up with the Silver Crown on Saturday in the Winston Community Center. He said on Saturday, he was in both the youth and professional brackets, for his first time competing against in the pros. He said each time he competes, his technique has changed afterwards. He learns from practices and his opponent when in competition, mentally noting different moves they make and how it helps. He said he mostly used strength in his wins when he first started, but now he knows more technique and what moves to make on opponents and he sees a difference in his pulls. Event organizer Chelsea LaLande said the event was a little smaller than the first event, the Bronze Crown held last month, but that was to be expected with everything else happening in the arm wrestling community now. Other tournaments are taking precedent, such as the 2026 International Federation of Armwrestling (IFA) United States National Armwrestling Championship next week in Ohio. With a few local arm wrestlers planning to attend nationals, rest and recuperation is key, not risking injury or tiredness by joining the local competition.

The weather was gorgeous for the 49th running of the Jim Robinson Twilight Invitational track and field meet at Roseburg High School's Finlay Field, and impressive performances could be found all over on Saturday. Twenty-two schools took part in the meet. The boys 4x400-meter relay team of David Schmid, Caden Moon, Joseph Latham and McLane Stedman capped off a strong showing by Roseburg with a victory in 3 minutes, 19.82 seconds — just missing their school record of 3:19.33 set at last year's Class 6A State Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene. It was a meet record for the speedy quartet. "That was fun to watch," Roseburg coach Nathan Eckman said. "So proud of those guys." The Indians got individual wins from Schmid in the 200 (22.44), Latham in the 800 (1:57.64) and Emery Hurtienne in the high jump (6-2). Placing second were RJ Elliott in the 300 hurdles (41.56), and the 4x400 relay quartet of Adam Lookabaugh, Schmid, Stedman and Moon (43.39). "It was wonderful. Great to see all of our kids compete in all 17 events," Eckman said. Glide shined among the local small schools, with Clara Kercher winning the girls 800 (2:29.25), Kara Anderson taking first in the girls discus (119-10) and second in the shot put (34-0), and Halle Goodman finishing second in the varsity girls 3,000 (11:00.68). Hurtienne, a junior, fell short of his personal record of 6-6 in the high jump, but was pleased to beat the field on his home track. Days Creek's Joseph Young finished fourth (5-10), while Douglas' Elijah Salas (5-8, PR) and Korven Wilson (5-6) were fifth and seventh, respectively.

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. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com

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.

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. For More Information Please Visit www.nrtoday.com
