WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Bureau of Land Management is reminding people heading outdoors this spring and summer to take extra precautions in bear country, a message that also applies to many areas of Oregon.

The national reminder comes after recent bear incidents in several national parks and as seasonal bear activity increases across public lands. During spring and early summer, bears are often moving through habitat, searching for food or protecting cubs.

While the BLM’s national release references bear activity across public lands and includes a photo of a grizzly bear in Alaska, the message is still relevant in Oregon, where black bears live throughout much of the state. For local residents, the reminder is especially useful as more people head out for camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, forest road travel and other outdoor recreation on BLM lands, national forests and other public lands.

BLM officials said visitors can reduce the chance of a dangerous encounter by staying alert, traveling in groups when possible, making noise in areas with poor visibility and properly storing food, trash and scented items.

“Public lands managed by the BLM are wild places, and wildlife safety is visitor safety,” BLM Acting Director Bill Groffy said. “Simple actions, like giving bears space, securing food and knowing what to do before you enter bear country, can protect visitors and bears.”

The agency is asking public lands visitors to keep several safety reminders in mind:

• Never approach a bear.
• Stay alert and avoid using headphones on trails.
• Hike in groups when possible.
• Make noise near streams, dense vegetation and blind corners.
• Store food, trash and scented items properly.
• Carry bear spray where recommended and allowed.
• Never run from a bear.
• Remember that bear spray and firearms are tools, not substitutes for awareness and good judgment.

If someone encounters a bear, the BLM recommends staying calm, speaking in a steady voice and backing away slowly. Visitors should avoid sudden movements and should not run. Bear encounters should be reported to a BLM field office once it is safe to do so.

The reminder comes as spring and summer recreation increases across Oregon, including on public lands used for camping, hiking, river access, hunting, sightseeing and backroad travel. Officials said simple planning before heading outdoors can help protect both visitors and wildlife.

The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land, mostly across 12 western states including Alaska. The agency also oversees about 700 million acres of subsurface mineral estate nationwide.

ROSEBURG, Ore. — Abby’s Legendary Pizza is beginning a remodel of its Stephens Street location, the original parlor opened by Abby and Skinny in 1964.

The company said the Stephens Street restaurant will close at the end of business Sunday night as remodeling work begins. The location will be closed Monday and Tuesday, then reopen Wednesday in time for dinner.

During the brief closure, customers are being directed to Abby’s Diamond Lake Boulevard location, which is less than three miles away. That parlor can be reached at 541-672-7781.

When the Stephens Street remodel is completed in mid-June, customers can expect several updates inside the restaurant, including new interior paint, new booths and new tables. Abby’s said the remodel will also include special tributes to Douglas County, the company’s founders and the customers who have helped make the restaurant a local favorite for more than 60 years.

The Stephens Street parlor holds a special place in the company’s history as the first Abby’s location. Since opening in Roseburg in 1964, Abby’s has grown into one of Oregon’s recognizable pizza brands while maintaining deep ties to Douglas County.

As part of the remodel, Abby’s is asking the community to share favorite memories or old photos connected to the Stephens Street restaurant. Photos and memories can be sent to social@abbys.com.

The City of Roseburg has openings on two commissions.

The Planning Commission currently has two vacancies while there is one vacancy on the Homeless Commission.

The Planning Commission meets at 7:00 p.m. on the first Monday of the month in the council chambers. They consider long and short-range land use development issues within the city and the Urban Growth Boundary. The commission reviews and acts on Quasi-Judicial applications filed by landowners and their agents, and on Legislative applications which have been initiated by the city. While some actions are a recommendation forwarded to the city council for final consideration, other decisions are final unless appealed to the city council.

The Homeless Commission meets at 1:15 p.m. on the first Monday of every month in the council chambers to discuss and research current practices related to addressing the needs of the unhoused population. The commission makes recommendations to city council, will review the terms and conditions for contracts and working relationships with private and public agencies regarding services to the unhoused, and receive and consider comments and suggestions from the general public and local businesses regarding homelessness.
