Roseburg

To this day, both of them believe they had seen young Bigfoots, not fully grown, but still larger than a person and far more than just an animal.

Roseburg, Oregon, August 2017 A woman living on the outskirts of a small town near Roseburg began noticing unusual activity around her property.

Her home sat on a quiet piece of land backed by thick forest.

A wooden fence ran along the rear of her property, separating her open backyard from the tree line beyond.

And, uh, um, When my family moved cross-country here in the summer of 2015, we spent three weeks driving cross-country and stopping along the way.

our, our last night on the road, we stopped in Roseburg, uh, uh, Oregon.

And, uh, so I could visualize what the town looked like and everything that terrible morning when the shooting happened and I was hearing the news about it and, uh, actually, uh, uh, wrote the song a couple of days later on a, on a flight, on an airplane flight, uh, flying cross country to go play a show with the band and, uh, And then I have another song called Thoughts and Prayers that's also about that whole thing too, all of that.

I want to go back in time to some more positive stories.

We've got a little break, okay? I need a break.

I would like to thank the Oregon State Trooper that only gave him a warning south of Roseburg on the way back.

But let me tell you, he wanted to get back.

He had had enough of Fresno.

Of a black business owner, I just flexed my power against white supremacist Father Caleb, told viewers in a video shared on TikTok.

According to the business owner, he lives in Roseburg, Oregon, a place that he describes as a sundown town.

While living in Roseburg, Father Caleb claimed that he and his family were repeatedly harassed by a white supremacist.

An ordeal that, according to him, was known to the local sheriff, yet nothing was done because nothing probably happened.

I later described the white supremacist as someone unemployed in the living office, social security, and his grandparents.

I saw your comments there.

I did hear a samurai chatter in west of Sutherland, just north of Roseburg, central Oregon.

It's kind of along that mountain range that's between I-5 corridor.

There's a mountain range in the coast.

Thanks for joining us.

The JX starts today with the debrief, where JPR reporters discuss the stories they've been covering this week, including an elementary school closure in Roseburg, an ICE detention center in Coos Bay, and changes to Jackson County fire districts.

I'm Maria Carter, JPR's news director.

I'm Jane Vaughan, housing, homelessness, and education reporter.

Jane, you had a story this week about a school closure in our region.

Which school is closing?

So that's Firgrove Elementary School in Roseburg, which currently has fewer than 200 students.

And the school board voted unanimously this week to close the school at the end of this school year.
