WHITE CITY — Fighting to become Oregon’s first Republican governor in nearly 40 years, Christine Drazan made a campaign stop in the Rogue Valley on Saturday, a few days before today’s election.

Drazan, a state senator from Canby, made an appearance at Pavati Boats in White City, one of several appearances she made on Halloween in a whirlwind campaign that included stops in Pendleton, Redmond and Eugene.

Grants Pass girls’ soccer coach Paul Williams said visiting Tualatin was out-playing his Cavers squad early in Saturday’s first-round Class 6A state playoff at Mel Ingram Field — Grants Pass’ first playoff game in two years.

That was until Kaitlyn Coulter made a run, secured the ball 35 yards from the goal and was fouled in the penalty area.

The Josephine County Sheriff’s Office arrested a 37-year-old man on accusations he stole items from a Shop Smart in Cave Junction and threatened a worker with a hatchet on Sunday.

As of Monday, no charges had been filed against Wayne Patrick Baker as prosecutors wait for complete reports and digital evidence that would be sufficient to bring charges for a potential Measure 11 crime, according to District Attorney Josh Eastman.

Music inspired by nature, beauty, love, loss and the fragility of life is at the center of the Southern Oregon Repertory Singers’ fall concert, which opens the ensemble’s 2026-2027 concert season next weekend.

Performances of “Holding Wonder” will be Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 8 at 3 p.m., with both concerts in the Southern Oregon University Music Recital Hall in Ashland.
