MEDFORD — Just a day after pulling off an exciting victory to keep their season alive, the Roseburg Dr. Stewart’s laid a dud and were eliminated from the AAA American Legion baseball state tournament in a 17-3 loss against the Hillsdale Merchants Monday at Harry and David Field.

The loss brings the end of the summer season for the Docs, who went 1-2 at the state tournament and finished the season with a 20-14 overall record.

“Nobody wanted to end that way,” Docs coach Cody Walton said. “We had the expectations to win that game and at least play much better than we did, but I didn’t want that to overshadow or cloud what they have done this summer and how far they have come.”

Hillsdale (33-13) jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning and knocked starting pitcher Fletcher Coleman out of the game before he could record three outs. Coleman struggled with his command, issuing three walks against the first four batters.
In a regular Monday meeting, the Roseburg City Council discussed possibly utilizing two downtown parking lots as urban campground space, catching the attention of one organization who have invested heavily in the area: Umpqua Community College (UCC).

The two lots, located at 840 and 734 SE Stephens Street, are known as the Phillips and Shalimar lots respectively. They take up just over half an acre of combined area and contain a cumulative 64 parking spaces.

Both lots are owned by the City of Roseburg, and have access to electrical, water and sewer services. Four monthly parking permits at $20 a month have been sold for the Phillips lot, while no permits have been sold for the Shalimar lot so far.

No analysis has been conducted yet on the specific type of shelters which could be set up in the space, or how many, with city staff still needing to review operation requirements and the sites' constraints. If the city were to move forward on utilizing a site, an opportunity would open for appeals.

Before discussing the matter, UCC President and CEO Rachel Pokrandt stepped forth to comment on the potential impact this could have, regarding the ongoing project for UCC to utilize the former post office building at 704 SE Cass Ave. for student housing.

This recipe celebrates the abundance of summer tomatoes in a dish that's as visually appealing as it is flavorful. Inspired by the classic ingredients of an Italian caprese salad -- juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella and fragrant basil -- it reimagines the familiar combination with a little knife work and thoughtful layering. The result is a vibrant appetizer served in a glass that's easy to assemble, simple to serve and fun to eat.

Think of it as a savory summer parfait: a colorful medley of diced tomatoes topped with a generous dollop of buffalo mozzarella, ribbons of fresh basil and a drizzle of rich balsamic reduction. A crisp crostini plank completes the presentation, doubling as both a garnish and a handy utensil for scooping up the tomatoes and soaking up their sweet, flavorful juices.

From Miami's famous Cubano trucks to the Oscar Mayer company's iconic 1930s-era Weinermobile, food trucks are a tell-tale sign of summer in North America. Reportedly designed by American rancher and frontiersman Charles Goodnight in 1866 as a means to feed cowboys and working-class men on the move across Texas, the mobile kitchen, aka chuck wagon, had evolved into the motorized ice cream truck by the 1920s and, during the Second World War, into the more modern fast-food truck.

Now, some 160 years after their original form, food trucks have become a staple of North American gastronomy. Although particularly popular near its roots in the southern United States, the food truck lifestyle is ever-burgeoning, often making heavy use of social media, outdoor festival schedules and niche, kitchy pop-ups to drive business and stand out from the competition.

Speaking of competition, Food Network has been driving food truck content for the past 16 years with its flagship food truck-centered series "The Great Food Truck Race" having first launched in August 2010. This summer marks the 19th season of "The Great Food Truck Race." Don't miss the premiere Sunday, July 26, on Food Network.

For more than a century, Oakland's historic 1892 E.G. Young building has stood on Locust Street, long after its status as a commercial hub became local history. Now, one pair of owners are aiming to breathe life into the space through a new use: A place for community gathering.

The property is now the home of the 1892 Social Club, a speakeasy-inspired venue offering food, drinks and space for events between its main room, outdoor patio and private whiskey lounge.

It's a big shift for the building, moving from its former use as a bank to a space for socializing and relaxation. According to owners Rachel Schelble and Chad Copeland, it's one they hope will bring something new to their community.

"It was a group of friends drinking hot toddies and looking at the space, trying to figure out how to celebrate Oakland's history and breathe new life into the area," Schelble said. "Oakland's such a special town, so how of you bring a new venue that can attract folks in and celebrate that history?"

Part of the answer to that question is in bringing something unique to guests. 1892 Social Club offers over 400 varieties of whiskey, from American bourbons to European scotches and beyond, along with a selection of wines. For food and entertainment, a "charcuterie vending machine" allows guests to purchase meats, cheeses and table games a la carte to enjoy with their libations.

After choosing an international spirit, a guest's table is decorated with a rare mineral from its country of origin, combining Copeland's passion of travel and Schelble passion for geology into a tasting experience. Tying the whole experience together is live music, often heard off the patio's balcony or from the main room's grand piano.

The Oregon Department of Transportation continues work on the Oregon 42 paving and safety improvements project.

Dan Latham said starting the week of Augusts 9th, ODOT is planning to introduce a “zipper merge” for eastbound Oregon 42 traffic approaching the northbound ramps to Interstate 5. Latham said Oregon 42 drivers heading to Roseburg and northbound Interstate 5 are asked to use both eastbound travel lanes through the Green District, then take turns merging when the highway narrows to one lane. Lathan said motorists should watch for new signs, striping, and pavement markings that encourage drivers as they learn the new merging process. More information will be provided in the coming days.

This week the contractor plans to build traffic separators along the center of Oregon 42 between Grant Smith Road and Exit 119 northbound ramps. This may require day and night lane closures on Oregon 42. Construction is usually scheduled from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Sunday nights to Friday mornings. Drivers should watch for roadside message boards.

The full ODOT project on Oregon 42 is scheduled for completion in September.

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.
