The Roseburg Receiver and The Roseburg Plug are planning a monthly print publication called The Signal, bringing local news, events, and community information to readers across Douglas County.

The planned publication will include news, business information, local art, crossword puzzles, and coupons. The two outlets are inviting residents to help shape what goes into its pages and asking businesses and community members to support the effort.

The project builds on feedback received as The Roseburg Receiver and The Roseburg Plug have grown. Readers have shared ideas about what they would like to see locally, and The Signal is an opportunity to bring some of those suggestions into print.

Local artists and businesses are part of that vision, too. Alongside news and upcoming events, the publication is intended to feature creative work from the community and give businesses another way to reach Douglas County residents.

Funding will be needed to get the publication started and sustain it. Printing and distributing a monthly edition brings ongoing expenses, with paid subscriptions, advertising, and sponsorships planned to help cover those costs.

The accompanying announcement video introduces the project and explains how the community can help make it happen.

A community suggestion form will also be shared, giving readers a way to tell the organizers what they want to see in The Signal. That feedback will help shape the publication’s content as plans develop.

More updates will follow, and both outlets will continue reaching out to the community as the project moves toward its first edition.

Information about The Signal, including ways to get involved, is available on The Signal project page.

Downtown Roseburg’s past will come to life this October as the Roseburg Historic Ghost Tours return for the Halloween season.

Presented by Umpqua Community College’s Performing and Visual Arts department in association with Timbertown Media, “The Ghosts of Roseburg Past: Historic Walking Tours” invites visitors to explore local history on foot.

The tours follow Jackson and Main streets, introducing participants to characters and true stories from more than a century of Roseburg history, including its frontier years and the 1920s. UCC describes the event as an immersive experience, with downtown serving as the setting for stories about the people who once lived and worked there.

According to the event flyer, tours are scheduled for:

• 7 p.m. Fridays: Oct. 16, 23, and 30.
• 7 p.m. Saturdays: Oct. 17 and 24.
• 7 p.m. Thursday: Oct. 29.
• 3:30 p.m. Saturdays: Oct. 17 and 24.

General admission is $30. Tickets can be purchased through the organizers’ page or by scanning the QR code on the flyer. A ticket link is also available on UCC’s event page.

Participants must be able to walk approximately 1.5 miles, and UCC advises that the tours are not recommended for small children.

With western Oregon’s general deer season opening Saturday, Oct. 3, Douglas County hunters are being asked to submit samples from harvested deer and elk to help wildlife officials monitor for chronic wasting disease.

The general Any Legal Weapon buck deer season runs through Nov. 6. Hunters must purchase their General Any Legal Weapon Western Oregon deer tag by Friday, Oct. 2. The bag limit is one buck with a visible antler.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is expanding CWD monitoring this fall. The disease has been detected in neighboring Idaho, Washington, and California, but has not been found in Oregon.

“Positive detections in nearby states are very concerning,” said Ashley Reeder, ODFW’s CWD surveillance coordinator. “Early detection is our best tool in reducing the disease’s impact on Oregon’s deer, elk, and moose populations.”

How Douglas County Hunters Can Submit a Sample

None of the highway check stations listed in ODFW’s announcement are in Douglas County, but hunters have other ways to submit an animal for testing.

Options include:

• Visiting a participating taxidermist or meat processor.
• Making an appointment at an ODFW office that collects samples.
• Dropping off the animal’s head in an after-hours collection bin at a participating ODFW office.

Hunters should check ODFW’s sampling information and locations before making a trip. Sample collection generally takes about 10 minutes and involves removing lymph nodes and recording information from the hunter.

ODFW asks all successful deer and elk hunters to submit a sample. Each sample submitted between Aug. 1, 2026, and March 31, 2027, earns the hunter one entry into a drawing for a Howa 1500 .223-caliber rifle provided by the Oregon Hunters Association.

“With CWD detected in almost every bordering state, it is more imperative than ever for hunters to provide our unique contribution toward CWD detection and surveillance by voluntarily submitting samples from our harvested deer and elk,” said Tyler Dungannon, the association’s conservation director.

Hunters Must Stop at Check Stations

Hunters traveling elsewhere in Oregon should watch for highway signs marking CWD check stations. Anyone transporting harvested deer or elk must stop if they pass an operating station.

ODFW plans to operate stations during deer and elk seasons at locations including Celilo Park, Prineville, Elgin, Riley, Aurora, Ukiah, and Buxton. Dates and hours vary by location and season.

The agency said station information may change and additional locations could be added. Hunters can visit ODFW’s CWD page for current information and sampling options.

Why Testing Matters

CWD is fatal to deer, elk, and moose, and there is no cure. It spreads through direct contact with infected animals or through contaminated environments. The misfolded proteins that cause the disease, known as prions, can remain in the environment for years.

ODFW said it has monitored Oregon’s herds for more than two decades, testing more than 40,000 samples from hunter-harvested, road-killed, and other deceased animals without detecting a case.

A new testing facility at Oregon State University’s Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Corvallis is expected to reduce the time hunters wait for results and help the state respond more quickly if CWD is detected. The facility was supported through a combination of state funding and U.S. Department of Agriculture grants.

Getting Results

Hunters whose animals test positive will be contacted directly by a biologist or veterinarian. Results are also available on ODFW’s CWD testing results page, where hunters can search using their ODFW ID number or roadkill salvage permit confirmation number.

According to ODFW’s release, there is currently no evidence that people can become infected with CWD by consuming or touching infected animals. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises against eating meat from infected animals and recommends precautions when handling and processing harvested animals.

Additional Opportunity for Youth Hunters

Eligible hunters ages 12-17 with an unfilled General Any Legal Weapon Western Oregon deer tag or an unfilled West High Cascade controlled hunt tag may also hunt Nov. 7-8 within the western Oregon general buck deer season area.

The extension requires hunters to have their own qualifying tag and does not apply to participants in the Mentored Youth Hunt Program. The bag limit remains one buck with a visible antler.

Three prescribed pasture burns are scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 30, near Roseburg, Canyonville, and Lookingglass, according to an updated schedule from the Douglas Forest Protective Association.

Residents and drivers may see smoke from the burns in surrounding communities and along several major roads. All three burns are tentative and could be rescheduled or adjusted because of weather, smoke conditions, or operational needs.

Wednesday’s Burn Schedule

• 1 p.m. - 700 block of Buckhorn Road, Roseburg: Smoke may be visible from Interstate 5, Highway 138/Diamond Boulevard, North Bank, Roseburg, and Dixonville.
• 1 p.m. - 9000 block of Tiller Trail Highway, Canyonville: Smoke may be visible from Tiller, Days Creek, Milo, Canyonville, Myrtle Creek, Riddle, and Tri City.
• 2:30 p.m. - 900 block of Coosbay Wagon Road, Lookingglass: Smoke may be visible from Highway 42, Lookingglass, Porter Creek, Melrose, and Roseburg.

Why Landowners Burn Pastures

Prescribed pasture burning helps landowners improve grazing areas, enhance wildlife habitat, and control noxious weeds, brush, insects, and plant diseases. It also reduces accumulated grasses and other vegetation that can fuel wildfires.

According to DFPA, approximately 10,000 acres have historically been treated with prescribed burning each year throughout Douglas County to improve pasturelands and maintain healthy landscapes.

The burns are planned for conditions expected to limit smoke impacts on nearby communities while protecting the public and firefighters. Appropriate personnel and fire suppression equipment are required to be in place during burning operations, DFPA said.

DFPA Issues Permits; Landowners Conduct the Burns

The scheduled burns are being conducted by private landowners under permits issued by DFPA. The association serves as the permitting agency for these burns on lands within its protection area and is not conducting them.

Other fire agencies may issue prescribed burn permits within their own jurisdictions. DFPA’s schedule covers only the permits it issues and does not account for every prescribed burn that may take place in Douglas County.

Additional locations may be added as permits are finalized. Residents should follow DFPA for schedule changes and other fire information.

The people who deliver meals and welcome older adults to community lunches across Douglas County were the guests of honor at a Sept. 23 luncheon at Wildlife Safari in Winston.

Douglas County Senior Services held the event to recognize volunteers with its Meals on Wheels programs and Bistro Sixty dining sites in Sutherlin, Glendale, Winston, Glide, Yoncalla, and Riddle. Commissioners Tom Kress and Chris Boice joined them.

The county said its Senior Nutritional Services program served 82,155 meals at seven dining sites during the past year. Volunteers contributed 14,586 hours in 2025-26, including:

• Sutherlin: 4,925 hours
• Riddle: 2,885 hours
• Winston: 2,432 hours
• Reedsport: 2,081 hours
• Glide: 1,157 hours
• Glendale: 862 hours
• Yoncalla: 244 hours

The meals matter, but so does the time spent with the people receiving them, Senior Services Director Jeanne Wright said in a county news release.

“Our mission is about so much more than nutrition. It’s about combatting isolation, preserving independence, and providing peace of mind to families who know their loved ones are being checked on,” Wright said.

She said the county regularly receives notes of thanks from clients. A volunteer’s visit may be the only contact a senior has with another person that day or even that week.

Kress thanked the volunteers for their service, and volunteers received appreciation certificates recognizing their work at their respective sites. The county also presented certificates to S&B Foods for donating the luncheon and Wildlife Safari for its continued support of the event.

The gathering included a visit from Wildlife Safari’s ambassador cheetah and complimentary train rides through the park. Douglas County Senior Services plans to hold a separate recognition luncheon later this year for volunteers with its Reedsport-area meal programs.

Information about senior services and volunteer opportunities is available on the Douglas County Senior Services website.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - Roseburg Public Library will take visitors on a trip through some of the universe’s strangest places during a free program Wednesday, Oct. 14.

“Our Weird and Wild Universe” begins at 6 p.m. at the library, 1409 NE Diamond Lake Blvd. The program features a recorded presentation by Kimberly Arcand of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, followed by a discussion led by Dr. Paul Morgan, a professor at Umpqua Community College and director of its observatory.

Arcand will explore objects ranging from distant black holes that outshine entire galaxies to city-sized neutron stars and pulsars that keep remarkably precise time. She also will discuss worlds orbiting other stars, how astronomers find these objects, and what they reveal about the cosmos.

The program is available in person only. For more information, contact library staff at 541-492-7050 or library@roseburgor.gov.

A stretch of the North Umpqua Trail between the Wright Creek and Calf Creek trailheads will be closed Oct. 4 through Oct. 7 while crews carry out trail recovery work, according to the Umpqua National Forest.

The closure covers three consecutive sections:

• Mott: Wright Creek Trailhead to Mott Trailhead
• Panther: Mott Trailhead to Panther Trailhead
• Calf: Panther Trailhead to Calf Creek Trailhead

The Forest Service asks visitors to choose another area of the forest for recreation during those four days. Other options can be found on the Umpqua National Forest recreation page.

The Roseburg City Council voted Monday to recognize The Roseburg Receiver LLC as a news media organization eligible to attend council executive sessions.

The motion was to “recognize The Roseburg Receiver LLC as a news media organization eligible to attend executive sessions of the Roseburg City Council pursuant to Resolution No. 2009-25.” It was seconded and passed by voice vote with no opposition.

The city adopted Resolution No. 2009-25 in 2009 to establish its policy for recognizing news organizations that seek to attend executive sessions. Those are portions of public meetings closed to the general public for specific subjects allowed by law. Under Oregon law, news media representatives may attend most executive sessions, although the governing body may require specified information discussed there to remain undisclosed. The law includes exceptions, such as sessions involving labor negotiations.

For The Roseburg Receiver, the council’s decision means its representative is eligible to attend Roseburg City Council executive sessions under that policy. It does not give the publication permission to report information the council directs news media to keep confidential.

Before voting, council discussed how the policy applies to a publication with one employee. Councilor Tom Michalek questioned whether the Receiver had operated long enough and had enough personnel to meet the criteria. Councilor Ellen Porter pointed to its local reporting and asked whether the policy set a minimum number of years in operation.

The city attorney explained that staffing and length of operation are factors council may weigh, rather than requirements that automatically decide the request.

City Recorder Amy Nytes told council that The Roseburg Receiver had submitted additional information after the agenda packet was published. It said the publication has gathered and published local news since July 2023 and has produced approximately 1,900 articles and posts. The submission also described its correction process and commitment to follow executive session disclosure rules.The motion was to “recognize The Roseburg Receiver LLC as a news media organization eligible to attend executive sessions of the Roseburg City Council pursuant to Resolution No. 2009-25.” It was seconded and passed by voice vote with no opposition.

The city adopted Resolution No. 2009-25 in 2009 to establish how it recognizes news organizations for executive session attendance. Oregon law allows news media representatives to attend most executive sessions, which are portions of meetings closed to the general public. A governing body can require specified information from those sessions to remain undisclosed.

Before the vote, councilors discussed whether the Receiver met the city’s criteria. Councilor Tom Michalek questioned whether a publication with one employee and a relatively short history qualified. Councilor Ellen Porter said she had followed the Receiver’s work for at least a couple of years and described it as doing “a pretty stellar job in getting information out,” particularly to people who rely less on traditional news sources.

Porter asked whether the policy required an organization to operate for a specific number of years. The city attorney explained that staffing and how long a publication has been established are factors council may weigh, rather than fixed requirements.

City Recorder Amy Nytes said The Roseburg Receiver had supplied information after the agenda packet was published addressing questions about its history and correction process. The submission said it has gathered and published local news since July 2023 and has produced approximately 1,900 articles and posts. It also described how the publication handles corrections and its commitment to follow executive session disclosure rules.

During discussion of the motion, Councilor Zack Weiss called the Receiver “a fantastic and wonderful asset to our community.” Another councilor said its coverage had helped people see what was happening in real time and thanked owner Joseph Ziegler for his work.

The vote recognizes The Roseburg Receiver LLC under the city’s policy. Its representative may attend eligible Roseburg City Council executive sessions while following the restrictions on information the council directs news media not to disclose.

Residents who came to Monday’s Roseburg City Council meeting to discuss the city’s Flock license plate cameras had to wait until late in the evening to speak. By then, there was not enough time for the Police Department’s scheduled presentation and council discussion.

Council chose to hear from the residents who remained and bring the presentation back at a future meeting. No vote was taken on the cameras.

Several speakers asked the city to stop using the system. They voiced concerns about privacy, who can access the information collected, and the possibility of mistaken matches or misuse. Some were frustrated that the item had been placed near the end of the agenda.

Councilor Ellen Porter said the presentation deserved enough time for council to hear it and discuss it together. Other councilors agreed that residents who had waited should be able to speak Monday. Before the meeting ended, Mayor Larry Rich said the Flock item would return near the beginning of the department items.

Roseburg has 15 stationary Flock cameras, according to the council agenda packet. The city authorized the system in 2023 and renewed its contract earlier this year for a term ending Feb. 20, 2028. The current two-year contract costs $75,000.

The Police Department’s presentation was intended to cover how the cameras are used, who can access the data, and the rules governing its storage and sharing. Council has not yet heard that presentation or questioned the chief about it. It is scheduled be presented at the next meeting on Monday, October 12th.

Roseburg’s plan for Stewart Park will get its first major update in more than 25 years, with a wider look at how the park connects to Gaddis Park, the riverfront, and downtown.

The City Council approved a professional services contract with Cameron McCarthy on Monday for up to $289,020. Council also authorized a $125,000 grant agreement with The Ford Family Foundation to help fund the work. Both motions passed without opposition in the meeting vote.

The project covers the 236-acre Stewart Park area, including the natural area, golf course, Fir Grove, and Riverfront Park. It also includes Gaddis Park, nearby trails and waterfront areas, and the Umpqua Greenway. Council asked staff earlier this month to add the greenway, an approximately 10-acre corridor connecting Gaddis Park toward downtown, to the scope.

The update will guide decisions about the park and riverfront over the next 20 years. It does not decide now which new amenities, if any, will be built.

That distinction came up during council’s discussion. When Councilor Tom Michalek asked how the city could plan without first knowing what residents want in the park, staff explained that gathering those ideas is part of the consultant’s job. Cameron McCarthy will develop three design alternatives based in part on public feedback before preparing a draft plan.

The planned outreach includes three public open houses: one early in the process, one to review the design alternatives, and one to comment on the draft. The consultant also plans interviews, conversations with community groups, outreach to schools, and opportunities for residents to give input at public events. The city expects to post project updates online and offer monthly email updates.

The city plans to use $164,020 from its Park Improvement Fund alongside the Ford Family Foundation grant. That city amount includes $14,020 from reserves for future expenditures. Staff said a supplemental budget will still be needed to formally account for the grant and reserve funding.

Work on the plan is expected to take approximately 12 months, with completion anticipated in fall 2027.

The Monday's city council agenda can be found here.

After about 75 minutes of discussion Monday, the Roseburg City Council voted 6-2 to stop evaluating the city-owned Phillips and Shalimar parking lots as potential urban campground sites.

The vote ends consideration of those two properties under the current proposal. Council then voted unanimously to hold a work study on what a campground elsewhere in Roseburg could look like.

Councilor Zack Weiss said reviewing the lots had helped identify decisions the city needs to make before choosing a site. “This exercise in looking at these places was incredibly valuable, not for the locations themselves,” he said. Weiss opposed moving ahead with the downtown lots but urged council to keep working through the broader proposal.

Councilor Katie Williams also wanted those questions answered before another property is considered. “I would really like to see us answer these other questions before we are looking at properties,” she said.

Other councilors worried that ending the review would leave the city without a site. Councilor Ellen Porter said, “I agree that the parking lots aren't the greatest option, but right now they're the only option.” Councilors also discussed the need to make progress as another winter approaches.

Weiss’s second motion directed staff to prepare a work study comparing a camp managed by the city, one managed by an outside operator, and a potentially unmanaged camp. The motion passed unanimously. Staff had identified several questions for council to address:

• Would a camp use tents, micro-shelters, or another form of accommodation?
• Who would operate it, and what would that operator be responsible for?
• What restrooms, showers, water, garbage service, electricity, or other facilities would it need?
• Would it be staffed or secured, and what rules would apply?
• Would it be temporary or longer term?
• How would startup and ongoing operations be funded?

Staff’s preliminary layouts showed room for about 41 tent spaces at Phillips and 23 at Shalimar. The layouts were estimates for evaluating the sites, not approved plans.

Both lots are within the city’s downtown exclusion zone. Using either for a campground would have required additional city action and land use approval. Staff estimated four to six months to hire a consultant and prepare a conditional use application, about six months for a local decision, and potentially another year if the matter were appealed to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals.

Councilors also discussed whether a proposal using shelters or other buildings could follow a different approval process than one using tents alone. That question, along with the cost and operating model for any future camp, remains for further study.

The council agenda can be found here.
