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

• Current Temp: 34° F
• Humidity: 97%
• Wind: 2 MPH N
• Current Conditions: Mostly Cloudy
• Air Quality Index: 55
• Today's Forecast: High 43 | Low 27 | Sunny
• Sunrise: 7:37 AM | Sunset: 5:14 PM

An Air Stagnation Advisory is in effect through 4:00 p.m. Friday within the valleys of Douglas County.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Medford told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that the inversion that has been in place for several days is expected to weaken. While the high temperature is expected to get into the 40’s Friday, some fog will return for the weekend. High temperatures of ten to fifteen degrees below normal are forecast for the weekend. Forecasters said the Roseburg Regional Airport has recorded an afternoon high in the 30s for seven of the last eight days. Thursday’s high at the airport was only 35 degrees.

A weather system approaching either Tuesday or Wednesday should mix things up, leading to more seasonal like temperatures and the potential for light rain.

A missing Reedsport man has been located safe.

Thursday afternoon the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office reported that 70-year-old George Curtis Callaway had been reported missing. The man had last been seen on January 15th when he departed the Salmon Harbor RV Park in Reedsport, driving a 30-foot, white 1996 Coachman RV. At that time, Callaway had told family members that he was traveling to Missouri to visit relatives. His family indicated that Callaway has memory issues and medical conditions that require medication. Since his departure, he had been unreachable by cell phone.

Thursday night DCSO updated the case and said Callaway had been located at a family member’s residence in Missouri. He is safe and no longer considered a missing person. DCSO thanked the community for their assistance and concern in locating Mr. Callaway. No further information or updates are expected.

Oregon’s unemployment rate was 5.2 percent in both November and December. The U.S. unemployment rate was 4.5 percent in November and 4.4 percent in December.

A State of Oregon Employment Department release said in December, Oregon’s seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment dropped by 2,200 jobs, following a gain of 800 jobs, as revised, in November. December’s gains were largest in professional and business services, and government, with gains of 1,100 jobs and 500 jobs respectively. Losses were largest in construction where 2,500 jobs were shuttered. Both retail trade and the transportation, warehousing, and utilities category lost 900 jobs.

State employment economist Gayle Krumenauer said professional and business services added 1,900 jobs during the last two months of 2025, recovering some of the jobs it lost during the first half of the year. Krumenauer said each of its component industries rose between October and December, with administrative and waste services growing the fastest with the addition of 900 jobs, which represents a gain of 0.9 percent.

Construction cut 3,000 jobs during the last two months of 2025, following relatively strong growth during July through October. At 113,900 jobs in December, it is close to its spring level, and slightly below its three-year average of 116,900 jobs during 2022 through 2024.

OED said holiday hiring in retail trade was 1,200 jobs below the normal seasonal pattern during the last two months of the year. Since early 2023, retail trade has trended downward. It employed 199,200 in December, which was 11,300 jobs, or 5.4 percent below three years prior.

Transportation, warehousing and utilities cut 1,400 jobs during November and December, following growth of a similar amount during the summer. It employed 78,200 in December, which was close to its three-year average of 78,500 jobs during 2022 through 2024.

Wednesday evening, Umpqua Community College hosted a community open house to celebrate the opening of its newly renovated Advanced Manufacturing and Forestry Hub.

A college release said the event showcased a reimagined learning space designed to support high-demand workforce training in advanced manufacturing, forestry and emerging technologies.

The milestone represents the culmination of a multi-year effort that began in 2023, when UCC undertook a comprehensive review of its academic programs related to advanced manufacturing, the forest products industry and forestry. That process was guided by extensive input from major manufacturing and forestry employers across Douglas County, as well as smaller businesses that regularly hire UCC graduates.

The result was a bold re-envisioning of how these programs are delivered – placing greater emphasis on cross-curricular collaboration, alignment with industry needs, and future-focused skill development. As part of this effort, UCC launched two new programs: Mechatronics and Artificial Intelligence, expanding opportunities for students to prepare for highly technical, well-paying careers.

Industry partners consistently emphasized the need for high-skilled workers who can design, maintain, program, and service automated machinery that drives modern manufacturing facilities, along with highly competent foresters equipped to support the management and long-term health of forest lands. While Douglas County’s manufacturing sector remains anchored in wood products and mill operations, it is increasingly shaped by automation, advanced software, and AI-enabled systems – requiring a workforce with a strong mechanical, engineering and digital competencies.

The release said to meet this demand, UCC aligned its Computer Science, Forestry, Virtual Welding, and Engineering programs through shared curricula and collaborative instruction. With the addition of Mechatronics and a certificate in Expert Systems; Artificial Intelligence, the college now offers a suite of programs designed to serve the evolving needs of the regional workforce.

More than 350 students are currently enrolled in these program pathways, and the newly renovated facility represents the final stage of this transformative initiative.

The project was made possible through the generous support and partnership of industry leaders, and donors.

On Thursday, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek announced that she has appointed Kacey KC to serve as State Forester and Director of the Oregon Department of Forestry.

A release from the Governor’s Office said KC would be the first woman appointed on a permanent basis to lead the agency in state history, pending Oregon Senate approval next month.

Governor Kotek said, “Kacey KC brings tenacity and a get-it-done style to her management approach and knows how to build strong partnerships across all levels of government to tackle complex challenges”. Governor Kotek said, “I am thrilled to welcome her leadership to support and strengthen the mission of the Department of Forestry”.

KC is a seasoned public-sector forestry executive with more than 25 years of experience, most recently serving as the State Forester Firewarden for the Nevada Department of Forestry since 2018. In 2021, KC was assigned to the Wildland Fire Mitigation and Management Commission established by Congress to advance the nation’s wildfire protection system. In 2023, KC was appointed the president of the National Association of State Foresters.

KC’s effective start date will be March 1st, 2026.

One of Roseburg’s most enduring community traditions is returning this spring.

The 47th Annual Roseburg Benefit Car Show will be held March 14 and 15, 2026 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, presented by the Umpqua Flatheads and the Stray Angels Car Club.

While the event is known for showcasing classic cars, restored favorites, and crowd-pleasing custom builds, organizers say the real reason it has lasted for nearly five decades is simple: it has always been about more than cars. It is about community, and it is about helping people.

The Umpqua Flatheads began in 1974 with a shared love for Fords

The story begins in late 1974, when a group of local car enthusiasts met with the goal of forming a car club. Many of the members shared a particular interest in Fords.

In 1975, the group officially became the Umpqua Regional Group of the Early Ford V 8 Club of America, and they quickly adopted the nickname that is still recognized today: the Umpqua Flatheads.

In the early years, members raised funds through car washes to support the club, and built friendships through picnics and trips along the Oregon coast and around the local area.

The first show in 1977 became the start of a long-running benefit tradition

In March 1977, the Umpqua Flatheads decided to host a local car show with proceeds benefiting the Kidney Association.

That decision sparked what would become the Roseburg Benefit Car Show, an annual event that has continued year after year and has raised thousands of dollars in support of local children’s charities and other community needs.

Stray Angels later joined as co-sponsor

As the event grew, the Stray Angels Car Club joined with the Umpqua Flatheads to co-sponsor the show, helping strengthen the event while keeping the original mission intact.

Supporters say the partnership has helped the car show remain successful and community-focused while continuing to draw participants and visitors from across the region.

How Graffiti Weekend grew from a simple idea into a major community tradition

The car show weekend is closely tied to another Roseburg tradition that has grown into a major draw of its own.

In 1982, a member of the Umpqua Flatheads suggested organizing a car cruise. July 10 was selected, and solicitations were sent out to car clubs across Oregon to participate.

Harvard Avenue was chosen as the route, and several groups played a role in making it happen, including:

• The Umpqua Flatheads stationed at the A and W
• The Stray Angels at Pete’s Drive-In
• The Timberland Corvettes selling T-shirts

The cruise was open to any vehicle, and organizers said the turnout of both vehicles and spectators was beyond expectations.

In 1983, the Stray Angels added a Show-N-Shine at River Forks Park north of Roseburg, helping expand the weekend even further.

Today, Graffiti Weekend has grown to include nearly 22 different activities, each hosted by a car club or group. Some events are free, while others charge a small fee, staying true to the original philosophy of keeping it an affordable family tradition while supporting the community.

The Saturday night cruise still brings 600-plus vehicles downtown

The Umpqua Flatheads continue to host the annual Saturday night cruise, which now includes 600-plus vehicles cruising a closed route through downtown Roseburg.

Several of the original members are still active in the Umpqua Flatheads today, and in addition to the major annual events, members continue to meet for social outings throughout the year.

This year’s beneficiaries: Search and Rescue and the Special Equipment Fund

Organizers say proceeds from this year’s Roseburg Benefit Car Show will benefit Douglas County Search and Rescue and the Douglas County Special Equipment Fund.

The Douglas County Special Equipment Fund is dedicated to helping provide specialized, adaptive, and critical equipment for local children with disabilities, supporting families and helping meet needs that can be difficult or expensive to cover.

The event also supports Douglas County Search and Rescue, which responds to emergencies across the county.

According to Deputy Larissa May, Search and Rescue Coordinator with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the Sheriff is responsible for Search and Rescue activities within Douglas County under Oregon law.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue program includes a Division Lieutenant, two full-time SAR deputies, on-call SAR managers, and approximately 80 dedicated volunteers.

SAR teams are deployed to many different types of missions, including:

• Searching for lost or missing people
• Rescuing injured individuals
• Recovering individuals who have died while outdoors
• Evidence searches tied to criminal investigations

Deputy May said each SAR volunteer is responsible for obtaining their own personal equipment, including boots, clothing, and a 24-hour pack. Additional equipment is provided by the organization, including SAR vehicles, radios, GPS units, ropes, harnesses, helmets, litters, and other rescue equipment.

Funding raised through events such as the Roseburg Benefit Car Show helps provide certification training and education for SAR team members, and helps purchase, upgrade, replace, and maintain equipment used in the field.

Organizers say the show has raised more than $400,000 for local charities

In a sponsor letter shared by organizers, the Roseburg Benefit Car Show stated that over the past 46 years, the event has generated more than $400,000 for local charities.

Supporters say that kind of long-term impact is part of what makes the event more than just a weekend show. It is a tradition that has helped meet real needs in the community for decades.

Sponsorship and donations help keep the tradition going

Organizers are also encouraging local businesses and community members to support the event through sponsorships and donations.

According to the sponsor letter, sponsors receive:

• Two complimentary tickets to the show
• Recognition at the show as a sponsor

Organizers listed a suggested minimum donation of $50, with checks payable to the Roseburg Benefit Car Show.

Vehicle applications now available for those entering the show

Vehicle owners who want to enter a car in the show are encouraged to apply early.

Vehicle applications are now available online, and must be completed and returned by February 20, 2026.

A photo of the vehicle is required with the application and will not be returned. Trophies will be awarded Sunday after the show.

Applications and full details can be found at strayangelscarclub.com.

Event details

The 47th Annual Roseburg Benefit Car Show will be held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

Hours:

• Saturday, March 14: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
• Sunday, March 15: 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

After nearly 50 years, the Roseburg Benefit Car Show continues for the same reason it began.

It brings people together. It celebrates craftsmanship and tradition. And it turns a love for cars into real support for the community.

Douglas County officials say new safety and service upgrades are underway across the county parks system, including expanded Wi Fi coverage in remote areas, updated life vest stations and signage at boat ramps, and a new live streaming camera overlooking the boat ramp at Chief Miwaleta County Park and Campground.

The county said the improvements are intended to increase visitor safety and add modern connectivity in parks where cell service can be limited.

Wi Fi added in low cell coverage areas

Douglas County Parks staff said they have worked over the past few years to bring Wi Fi to several high use parks through a partnership with Douglas Fast Net (DFN), using fiber optic infrastructure.

According to the county, parks with Wi Fi upgrades include:

• Windy Cove County Park Loop A and B Campgrounds in Winchester Bay
• Whistler’s Bend County Park and Campground near Glide
• Chief Miwaleta County Park and Campground near Azalea
• Umpqua Dunes RV Park in Winchester Bay
• Charles V. Stanton County Park and Campground near Canyonville

Douglas County Parks Director Mark Wall said Wi Fi can play a role in emergencies, especially in locations where cell service is minimal or unavailable.

“In some of our remote parks, you used to have to run down the road just to search for a cell signal to call for help,” Wall said.

Life vest stations updated at major boat ramps

The county also said it has updated life vest stations at major boat ramps with new signage aimed at promoting safe recreation on local waterways.

Officials noted that water conditions can change quickly, including during warmer months when cold, fast moving water from snowmelt can lower temperatures even on hot days.

Douglas County credited community partners and residents for supporting the life vest program, including the Roseburg Rotary Club and the Roseburg YMCA.

Life vest stations are located at several county parks, including:

• River Forks County Park near Roseburg
• Cooper Creek County Park near Sutherlin

Live streaming camera installed at Chief Miwaleta boat ramp

Douglas County Parks also announced the installation of a camera system that continuously live streams views of park areas. The first camera has been installed at the boat ramp at Chief Miwaleta County Park and Campground near Galesville Reservoir.

The county said the camera provides real time visuals for both Parks staff and the public, allowing visitors to check reservoir levels and boat launch conditions before traveling.

Wall said the camera may also reduce the number of phone calls staff receive about lake conditions and help monitor dock infrastructure when water levels change.

Visitors can view the live stream through the Douglas County Parks webpage.

County describes upgrades as part of ongoing investments

Douglas County said the projects are part of ongoing efforts to improve safety, enhance visitor experience, and support outdoor recreation across the park system.

The Douglas County Parks Department was established in 1949 and was the first county park system developed in Oregon, according to the county. Douglas County said its parks system includes 68 properties, including 23 boat ramps, 11 campgrounds, and 42 day use parks.

More information about Douglas County Parks, including park locations, campgrounds, and boat ramps, is available on the county’s parks webpage.

A new creative studio is getting ready to open in Roseburg, offering a peaceful place for locals to make art, learn new skills, and connect with other makers.

Studio Arts Connection, owned by artist and designer Sharon Bedford, is expected to open in early February (February 3rd) at 1350 NE Stephens St. #10, next to Subway.

Bedford said the studio will offer a mix of hands-on classes, open studio drop-ins, and a small gallery space for local artists, with a focus on building a calm and welcoming creative community.

“I will have open working drop-ins as well as formal class times so we can build a peaceful community,” Bedford said.

A lifelong artist with deep creative roots

Bedford said her love for art started early, long before Studio Arts Connection became an idea.

She has been making art since grade school and said her talent for drawing helped shape her professional career. She worked in Engineering Services as a Mechanical Drafter, Technical Illustrator, and Graphic Artist, using her skills in detailed drawing and design in a more technical setting.

Her early art background included mediums like pen and ink, pencil, and charcoal, and while she experimented with acrylics, she said watercolor was always something she truly wanted to learn.

From California to Roseburg, and finally watercolor

After moving to Roseburg from California, Bedford said she decided to pursue watercolor more seriously and enrolled in a class at the Umpqua Valley Arts Association, where she studied with Bill Malhoff.

She described the experience as fun and rewarding, and said it helped push her forward into the watercolor community.

Over time, she joined the Watercolor Society of Oregon, and describes her painting style as Realistic Expressionism.

Retail storefronts, gallery space, and years of building experience

Bedford said Studio Arts Connection also reflects years of experience running creative businesses.

“In my days, I have had several retail crafter type stores which also had a gallery space for my work,” she said.

She said she also built up a strong inventory over the years through past ventures, including a store she ran in Morgan Hill, California in the 1990s, where she accumulated many of the glass beads she still has today.

Bedford said she also held onto a large supply of yarn from when she closed a downtown store in 2014, which helped give her a head start as she began putting together what Studio Arts Connection would become.

From local markets to a permanent studio space

For the past several years, Bedford has been a familiar face to many in the community through her work at the Umpqua Farmers Market, where she sold handmade items including knit hats, fingerless mitts, and bohemian-style vests and tunics.

She also brought her paintings, bead jewelry, and sculptures to the market, and later expanded her vending to the Eugene Saturday Market over the last two years.

But after traveling every weekend for setup and teardown, Bedford said she eventually felt burned out.

“I got burned out traveling with the set-up and tear-down every Saturday,” she said.

That shift, she said, helped lead her toward creating a studio space that would allow her to teach, create, and build community in one location.

A studio built on community and purpose

Bedford said she has also been part of an online artist mentoring group called “Created to Thrive” by Matt Tommey, which encouraged her both personally and creatively.

She said the experience helped her grow, and reinforced her desire to create a space where other people could come together and reconnect with creativity.

“In my quiet time with Jesus, I felt led to open a Studio space to connect with other makers and create a peaceful place to create art / crafts,” Bedford said.

What Studio Arts Connection will offer

Bedford said Studio Arts Connection will focus on classes, creative learning, and open studio time, with options for people who want structured instruction as well as those who just want a calm place to work.

Planned offerings include:

• Watercolor painting and techniques
• Crochet and knitting instruction
• Writing and selling patterns online
• Copper wire weaving and jewelry-making
• Open working drop-ins
• Scheduled class times
• A gallery space featuring additional teachers and artists

Bedford said she will also carry a selection of supplies, but she is keeping the studio’s inventory focused rather than trying to compete with larger stores.

She said she plans to carry natural and luxury fibers, along with real Czech glass beads, and some seed beads, threads, needles, and jewelry-making notions.

She also said she hopes to carry a brand of watercolor paint made in Oregon.

Supporting other local shops, not replacing them

Bedford said she encourages customers to bring their own supplies when possible, and also to shop locally around downtown Roseburg for additional materials.

She said she plans to start with her existing supplies, but encourages people to support other local stores, including the fine art store downtown, yarn stores downtown, and larger retailers like Michael’s for anything she doesn’t carry.

“I just can’t carry everything,” she said.

First class set for Feb. 4

Bedford said her first watercolor class is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 4 from 1 to 3 p.m., with a Valentine-themed project focused on creating hand-painted cards.

The class will include a lesson on painting Valentine cards, finding card blanks, and printing personalized sentiments.

Bedford said she also plans to teach students how to reuse a painting design for multiple occasions by pairing the same artwork with different messages for different people.

Supplies will be included, and she said gel pens are encouraged.

Opening date and location

Bedford said she hopes the studio will be open by Feb. 3, but noted the space may still be in the process of being arranged as opening approaches.

Studio Arts Connection will be located at:

1350 NE Stephens St. #10 (next to Subway)

Bedford said community members can follow her work and studio updates online through:

Johnny Barrett, a member of Troop 36 in Riddle, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest achievement in Scouting.

As part of the Eagle Scout requirements, Barrett planned, led, and completed an Eagle Scout Service Project totaling 236 hours. His project involved building benches for a local baseball field, expanding on two previous Eagle projects and addressing a need in the community.

Barrett, a longtime baseball fan, said he wanted to create an improvement that families, players, and spectators could use for years. The project took approximately three days of construction, during which he also worked with younger Scouts, teaching them how to build the benches while helping guide teamwork and leadership. Lumber for the project was donated, and fundraising support was provided by friends and family.

During his time in Scouting, Barrett said his favorite merit badge was Horsemanship, which he completed at Camp Baldwin, noting it was especially meaningful because it helped him work through a personal fear. He said his least favorite merit badge was Fingerprinting, which he described as challenging.

Barrett also shared that the point of the Scout Law he considers most important is Trustworthy, explaining that trust is what bonds people together. He said Obedience can be one of the more difficult points at times, especially when he has different ideas on how to complete a task.

During his Board of Review, Barrett spoke about personal challenges, including the passing of Scout leader Dave Gianotti, and said the experience helped motivate him to complete the Eagle Scout process. He also expressed appreciation for support from his parents, sister, and his project coach and the coach’s son.

Looking ahead, Barrett plans to graduate high school in 2026 and is currently pursuing dual credit coursework through the Mechatronics program at Umpqua Community College, aligning with his interests in robotics, engineering, and entrepreneurship. He also said he hopes to continue supporting Scouting by encouraging others to join and serving as a future leader within his troop.

Barrett said he hopes younger Scouts can learn from his experience, including the importance of finishing strong.

Wildlife Safari has announced the completion of a brand new lemur house inside the park’s free Walk Thru Safari area.

Construction on the project began after the lemurs were temporarily relocated in October 2025, allowing demolition and rebuilding work to move forward. The new habitat was officially completed on January 20, and the lemurs have now returned to their updated island home.

Wildlife Safari says the new structure is significantly larger than the previous lemur house and was built with long term animal care and durability in mind.

“The new lemur house is significantly larger than the previous structure and was designed with durability and long term animal care in mind,” said Zoe Notenboom, Village Keeper Supervisor. “The space can be divided into two separate rooms, allowing for safe introductions of new lemurs and the ability to create a maternity area if needed.”

Notenboom also said the new house includes large windows to provide natural light and fresh air, while giving guests a chance to see the lemurs when they choose to spend time indoors. The house is fully heated for colder weather, and staff report the lemurs have adjusted well to the new environment.

Guests can once again visit the lemurs and view the updated island in the free Walk Thru Safari, located just behind the Safari Grill.

Wildlife Safari says the improvements create a more efficient and comfortable space for the animals while also enhancing the guest experience through better viewing and educational opportunities.

We welcome all volunteers to share local events and incidents through our Facebook group. Whether you've witnessed something directly or received credible information, your contributions help keep our community informed and aware.

We encourage you to share relevant details and photos when appropriate. However, please note two important guidelines:

1. Maintain privacy by excluding any personal or identifying information
2. Ensure your own safety first - never attempt to post while driving

Your participation strengthens our community network, and your adherence to these guidelines helps keep everyone safe. Thank you for being part of our volunteer reporting team. If you have questions or want to participate as an author for our roseburgscanner.com website, please email community@roseburgscanner.com.

That is the scoop for this Friday morning. Enjoy your day and have a wonderful weekend!
