June 9, 2026

Good morning Douglas County! Here are today's updates live from the Roseburg Receiver Communications Center.

Fire Weather Forecast for southern Oregon and northern California National Weather Service Medford, OR | 416 AM PDT Tue Jun 9 2026

Despite some cloud cover and light rain or drizzle first thing this morning, things dry out today with some sun. Temperatures gradually trend warmer through the rest of the week as humidities trend significantly lower. Northeast breezes increase along the southern Oregon coast and northwest California Thursday into Friday. A heat wave will impact much of the region this weekend into early next week, especially west of the Cascades.

A member of the Roseburg Fire Department will be honored this week with one of the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s highest awards.

The Oregon State Fire Marshal is scheduled to present the Golden Sparky Award at 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, June 10, at the Roseburg Fire Department’s Umpqua Room, located downstairs at 700 SE Douglas Avenue.

This year’s recipient is being recognized for work focused on community risk reduction and public safety outreach in Roseburg. According to the Oregon State Fire Marshal, local data showed that 40% of households in the community included someone with a disability. That finding helped guide efforts to better reach residents who may face added risks during a fire or emergency.

The awardee helped build and strengthen partnerships with the Umpqua Valley disAbilities Network and the Aging and Disability Resource Connection. Those partnerships expanded fire safety education and support for at-risk community members, including people with disabilities and older adults.

The Golden Sparky Award has been presented since 1977 and recognizes a fire service member or fire agency for outstanding achievements in fire prevention or public safety education.

The presentation will take place during a media advisory event in Roseburg.

GLIDE, Ore. — Bigfoot is on the loose in Glide, and this time, people are actually supposed to go looking for him.

The Glide Sasquatch Festival has launched an area-wide scavenger hunt, with small Bigfoot statues being hidden at local businesses around the greater Glide area. The hunt is meant to bring people out to explore the community, visit local shops and have some fun before the festival arrives.

The statues are being placed at businesses along Highway 138 after milepost 15, as well as businesses located on roads that branch off the highway beyond that point.

Anyone lucky enough to find one gets to keep it.

Finders can also bring their Bigfoot statue to the merchandise booth during the Glide Sasquatch Festival to receive an extra prize. Organizers say more statues will be released each week leading up to the event, so the search will continue to grow.

Those who find a statue are encouraged to snap a photo and share it on the Glide Sasquatch Festival Facebook page.

The search is limited to businesses only. Participants should not go onto private property, yards, homes or anywhere that is not open to the public. The idea is to have fun, support local businesses and maybe go home with a little Sasquatch of your own.

The Glide Sasquatch Festival celebrates the Glide community with music, vendors, food, family activities and plenty of Bigfoot-themed fun.

Updates on the scavenger hunt and festival details can be found on the Glide Sasquatch Festival Facebook page.

The Pioneer Indian Museum in Canyonville will host an open house on Saturday, June 13, with a special focus on honoring local veterans.

The event will feature a new exhibit made up of donated veteran memorabilia, giving visitors a chance to view pieces connected to the service and history of veterans from the area.

One of the highlights of the open house will be a historic flag tied to Canyonville’s past. The large flag, measuring 9 feet 10 inches by 20 feet, was made for the community’s Fourth of July celebration in 1862 by Martha Thorn and other local women. The flag includes 34 stars, reflecting the number of states in the Union at that time.

The open house will run from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the museum. Cookies and coffee will be available for visitors.

The YMCA of Douglas County is preparing for a full summer of youth programs, family activities, training courses and a special membership offer for the community.

Several program registrations are now open, giving local families a chance to plan ahead for summer activities. Among the upcoming opportunities is the AS1 Basketball Clinic, scheduled for June 22–24 for youth ages 7–17. The clinic is designed to help young players build skills, confidence and fundamentals on the court.

Young athletes can also take part in the YMCA’s Youth Strength & Conditioning Program. The program focuses on strength, speed, agility and confidence, while also emphasizing safe movement and injury prevention through coached training.

For youth ages 11–16, the YMCA is offering an American Red Cross Babysitting & Child Care Training Course on June 27–28. The course includes First Aid and CPR/AED certification, giving participants important skills for babysitting, child care and emergency situations.

Those interested in working around the water can also register for an upcoming Lifeguard Certification Course. The training provides professional certification and practical skills for anyone interested in lifeguarding or aquatic safety.

The YMCA is also accepting enrollment for its 2026–2027 Preschool and Pre-K Program. The early learning program provides a safe and supportive environment focused on school readiness, social development and lifelong learning.

Community members who want to try the YMCA before joining will have an opportunity later this month. From June 15–20, the YMCA will offer a $10 Membership Trial Pass. Those who decide to join by the end of June will have their joining fee waived.

More information about registration, program details and membership options is available at www.ymcaofdouglascounty.org or by visiting the YMCA of Douglas County.
