IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!
...as the new Branch Manager of SOFCU Community Credit Union in Roseburg and North Bend. Marty hails from Auburn, California, where he worked as a loan offi cer specializing in real estate fi nancing for twenty fi ve years.
When asked why he chose to come to work for SOFCU, Marty’s answer was easy and quick. He agrees with how SOFCU operates and believes in their philosophy that “members come fi rst”. Marty grew up in Grants Pass. In fact, he got his fi rst experience with SOFCU by pulling their weeds as a teenager. His passion for Credit Unions and what they represent has only increased over the years. As Marty puts it,
“Members own the Credit Union, so they actually have a say in how the business is operated. It’s as though you are coming to a family member for your fi nancial needs.”
The Roseburg Branch of SOFCU has 8000 members. Marty’s goal is to grow membership equal to the Grants Pass Branch.
Marty enjoys spending his free time with his family. He is looking forward to the day when his wife and two children join him in Douglas County.

ROSEBURGPopulation: 21,235
(July 2008 estimate, Population ResearchCenter at Portland State University)
Nestled in the heart of DouglasCounty, Roseburg has dubbeditself The Timber Capital of theNation, and serves as the gate-
way to the Douglas fir-lined NorthUmpqua River and Crater Lake NationalPark via Highway 138, which heads eastfrom town.
The regional hub as well as DouglasCounty seat attracts locals and touristsalike to its cultural events and riversideparks, as well as the Douglas County Fairand summer concert series Music on theHalf Shell, which lure big-name perform-ers.
The South Umpqua River winds throughthe heart of Roseburg, meeting up with theNorth Umpqua just northwest of town.
The city of 21,235 is the area’s retail andhome improvement destination and boastsrestaurants with international cuisine fromChinese and Italian to Greek, Mexican andJapanese.
Located just off of Interstate 5, Rose-burg is 72 miles south of Eugene, and 124miles north of the California border. Itrests amid some of the world’s richest tim-ber land, and became a major lumber pro-ducer during the post-World War II hous-ing boom. At the timber industry’s height,278 mills operated in Douglas County.
First visited by white settlers and goldseekers in the 1840s, the town was plattedas Deer Creek by New Yorker Aaron Rose
in 1851. Three years later, the town wasofficially mapped, renamed Roseburg —after Aaron — and became the county seat.
Roseburg’s Main Street follows theApplegate Trail, mapped in 1846 by pio-neers led by Jesse Applegate and Levi

Mount Nebo, named after the mountainthat Moses stood atop to view the prom-ised land, overlooks the city and GardenValley. Pioneers believed this aptlydescribed the high ground in the bend ofthe South Umpqua River that proves aspectacular viewpoint.
Roseburg abounds with historical homesand landmarks, but many spots wereirreparably damaged or destroyed during a1959 explosion downtown that leveledbusinesses, killed 14 people, injured more
than 100 others and caused $10 million indamage. The Blast, as it’s known, was thethird-most deadly disaster in Oregon histo-ry, and today is the subject of seasonalwalking tours.
In spite of adversity, the city has man-aged to maintain many historical build-ings, including the neoclassical DouglasCounty Courthouse at 1036 S.E. DouglasAve. The structure was built in a space cityfounder Aaron Rose donated in the 1850sfor use as a public square. In 1955, rectan-gular additions were made to each end ofthe original 1929 structure.

district are echoes of a not-so-distant pastwhen timber barons and respected doctors,lawyers and politicians built opulent monu-ments to their success.
The elaborately decorated three-story,Queen Anne-style Moses Parrott house at1772 S.E. Jackson St. is a vivid reminder ofthis. Parrott, a shoemaker, came to this areawith his wife, Tennessee, in the early1850s.
Today, the home is privately owned. Notours are given, but it can be viewed easilyfrom Stephens Street.
The Floed-Lane house at 544 S.E. Dou-glas Ave. is more commonly known as theJoseph Lane House and is the only surviv-ing structure associated with this pioneersoldier and statesman. Lane was a commis-sioned brigadier general during the Mexi-can War. He was the Oregon Territory’s del-egate to Congress from 1851 to 1859 andwas the state’s first U.S. senator from 1859to 1861. In 1860 he was the SouthernDemocratic candidate for vice president.
The home was owned by Lane’s daughterand son-in-law, John and Emily Floed, and
built between 1866-76. Lane lived nearbyduring his final years and spent much of histime with his daughter. The Floed-LaneHouse is maintained by the Douglas CountyHistorical Society. Hours are 1 to 4 p.m.Saturdays and Sundays or by appointment.
Admission is free but donations areaccepted.
Today, Roseburg also has two cinemas,theaters, book stores, coffee houses andnumerous restaurants.

HUNTING
CRAIG REEDThe News-Review
From deer to turkeys, the call of thewild is strong in Douglas County.The area’s hills, rivers and deep woodsoffer excellent opportunities for sports-
men during respective hunting seasons. “Douglas County has some of the best, most
diverse habitat in the state,” Oregon Depart-ment of Fish and Wildlife Southwest Regionmanager Steve Denney said. “Virtually everycorner of the county provides habitat for somewildlife species.”
People interested in the hunting and fishingavailable in Douglas County are encouraged toobtain Oregon Department of Fish andWildlife fishing synopses and the big gameand game bird regulations to check dates,boundaries and regulations.
These are available at the ODFW office at4192 North Umpqua Highway, Roseburg, or atcounters in stores where sporting goods aresold.

are found almost everywhere in the county. Num-bers are higher on agricultural land and on 5- to20-year-old harvested units in the forests.
Roosevelt elk live throughout the county. Theyfeed in new clearcut areas and use more maturetimber for cover and shelter. The first day or twoof elk hunting seasons is traditionally most suc-cessful. After this time, the animals usually moveto the thickest cover they can find.
The best population of black bears in DouglasCounty is in the Coast Range around berrypatches and old orchards. The next best place tofind bears is in the lower Cascades.
Douglas County has some of the highest den-sities of cougars recorded in the United States.These big cats are primarily found in good elkand deer habitat since these animals are theirfavorite foods. A portion of the Umpqua Valleyand surrounding foothills is open for cougar hunt-ing all year with the appropriate tag.
Douglas County also is home to many otherspecies including coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, sil-ver gray squirrels, beaver, otter and muskrats.Very few of these animals are hunted by the general public but they are pursued by trappers.Silver gray squirrels are not legal to trap, but arelegal to hunt.
Trapping regulations are available at theregional ODFW office in Roseburg or are avail-able on the Internet at http://www.dfw.state.or.us/.
FOWLTurkeys were introduced to this area many years
ago.The county’s turkey population has expandedinto the largest in the state. There are now twoturkey hunting seasons in Douglas County — inthe fall and spring.
Turkeys are scattered throughout the county.Much of their habitat is on private land, so it isalways a good idea to obtain permission fromlandowners before hunting season begins.
Other game birds in the county are mountain
quail, valley quail, blue grouse, ruffed grouse,band-tailed pigeons, mourning doves, ducks andgeese.
Brushy hillsides, creek bottoms, springs andclearcut areas provide homes for the mountainquail. Douglas County has good populations ofthe bird. Valley quail are found in agriculturalareas on the valley floor. Most of their habitat isprivate property, so permission is needed to hunt.
Blue grouse are found primarily in higher-ele-vation forests where they spend a lot of time nearberry patches and on the edges of clearcuts.They also spend some time in old-growth timberstands.
Creek and river bottoms, springs and othermoist areas are popular home sites for ruffedgrouse.
Weather and migration dictate whether band-tailed pigeons will be found in Douglas Countyduring the hunting season. The birds frequentforests around mineral springs through summerand early autumn. After the first warm rains fall,the birds move to berry patches and when coolerrains hit, the pigeons begin their migration to

in good numbers. During a cool fall, the birds willmigrate quickly and hunting opportunities will becurtailed.
Like bandtails, mourning doves can be found ingood numbers in Douglas County wheneverthere’s a long, warm fall.
Douglas County is not a major population centerfor ducks, but there are small populations of woodducks, mallards and a growing winter population ofwigeons.Those birds are found primarily alongrivers and at ponds on the valley floor. Most ducksare found on private land, so permission is neededto hunt them.
Canada geese were brought into Douglas Coun-ty several years ago and the population hasexpanded dramatically.They are found primarilyalong rivers and livestock pastures and most hunt-ing is done with decoys. Geese are usually foundon private property, so hunters are reminded tocheck with landowners for permission to hunt.
FISHING
Anglers in Douglas County are rarely hard up fora place to fish throughout the year.There is usuallya fishery on the bite in the county’s waterways.
Area rivers and lakes have a national reputationfor providing angler enjoyment.
The spring chinook are one of the most abun-dant fish in the Umpqua.The salmon enter theUmpqua River from March through June, hold indeep pools during July and August and spawn inSeptember and October. A springer caught in themain Umpqua earlier this year weighed 49 pounds,but the average spring salmon is 20 to 25 pounds.
The South Umpqua River, the mainstemUmpqua and the Smith River contain most of thefall chinook.When fall rains increase the water leveland cool the water temperature, the fish begin aquick migration upstream.
Fall chinook enter the Umpqua estuary in Augustand migrate into October.The South Umpqua isclosed to fall chinook angling, but the main stemUmpqua River and Smith River estuary provideexcellent angling opportunities.
The summer steelhead run is composed of bothwild and hatchery fish.The best fishing for summersteelhead is from June to October.They average 6to 8 pounds in size.
Fly-fishing for summer steelhead is popular onthe North Umpqua, especially in the 33 miles of fly-angling-only water from Rock Creek upriver toSoda Springs Dam.
Winter steelhead are present in the North, SouthUmpqua and main stem Umpqua rivers and in theSmith River.They begin their migration from theocean in November. January through March arethe best fishing months.
The North Umpqua and Smith River havehealthy runs of wild winter steelhead.The SouthUmpqua has both wild and hatchery runs.The totalsteelhead run is estimated to be more than 25,000fish in the Umpqua Basin during most years.
A large North Umpqua wild fish can weigh in atmore than 20 pounds.The South Umpqua fishaverage 7 to 10 pounds.
All wild winter steelhead must be released.Coho, also known as silvers, are found through-
out the Umpqua River system. An adult UmpquaBasin coho averages 10 pounds. Hatchery cohoare available for harvest from August to November.
Rainbow trout is the species of trout most com-monly stocked in the Umpqua River system.Thereservoirs are stocked annually with about 30,000hatchery rainbow trout of legal size (8 to 12 inches)just prior to spring vacation in March. Fish stockingcontinues into June and again in late August.
Best trout fishing is in early spring, beginning inMarch and lasting through May when the fish areactively feeding.The best bait is salmon eggs,worms or small flies that match whatever is hatch-ing on shore at the time. Lures also can

GLENDALEPopulation: 955 (July 2008 estimate, Population
Research Center at Portland State University)In the early 1850s settlers began to spill into the
Cow Creek watershed, but it wasn’t until the 1880sthat the Glendale townsite was plotted after the rail-road was extended from Roseburg. The town wasoriginally called Julia for settler Julia Abraham. Adispute over ownership resulted in the name change.The origin of the name Glendale is unclear, but loresuggests a resident from the Scottish glens may havehad a hand in it. The town’s first sawmill was con-structed in 1882 by Sol Abraham, who supplied tim-ber for railroad construction.
Today the rural community boasts restaurants, agas station, a grocery store and the Village Inn Tav-ern & Restaurant, which celebrates the community’smilling past with a giant saw blade protruding fromits side.
