On Oct. 6, the Engineered Wood Technology Association (EWTA) held an Info Fair in Phoenix, Arizona, to acknowledge significant advancements in the industry’s technology. Among them, one in particular was awarded for its groundbreaking innovation, created by none other than Roseburg’s own Con-Vey.

That advancement was an Edge-Damming System for automated plywood panel repair, crafted by Con-Vey in collaboration with Louisiana-based manufacturer RoyOMartin and Norway-based engineering company Argos Solutions. The patent-pending system won the company the EWTA Innovation of the Year Award.

According to a Con-Vey press release, the machine is the first-ever capable of repairing plywood panels continuously in an automatic process. By allowing plywood manufacturers to repair plywood in-line, the system reportedly helps to minimize waste and reduce labor while keeping up production speed.

In January 2024, the Morin family opened Cattle Dogs Golf Center in Roseburg, bringing a new kind of activity to the area which catered to golf fanatics and newcomers alike: golf simulation.

Come rain or shine, customers were welcome to walk in and play some games of indoor golf in front of computer-generated simulations of actual courses.

But for the past few months, the business has been closed to visitors. According to an announcement on Facebook, the closure is for upgrades to the facility, including the installation of new AC and the vague announcement that they are transitioning to "a new system."

On Sept. 4, the Morins competed in an Umpqua Growth Talks Pitch Night event and unveiled exactly what their plans going forward are: to shift to a membership-based, 24-hour business model and to seek new ownership of the business going forward

A Douglas County native who is an associate professor of astronomy at California Institute of Technology, or Caltech, recently received a large grant to continue his studies and work with black holes and stars.

Kareem El-Badry was named a MacArthur Fellow on Oct. 8, an award generally given to honor extraordinarily creative individuals with a track record of excellence in an academic field or area of practice.

“I was excited, surprised. They don’t really tell you with these that you’re even in the running,” El-Badry said. “I had heard the name MacArthur before, but I had no idea, like, any of the details or that they were considering me.

“It was totally out of the blue, but I was happy.”

The scholarship comes with $800,000 paid out in quarterly installments over five years for as a “no-strings attached” award in support of people, not projects, according to the MacArthur Foundation’s website.

CURTIN — For the community of Curtin, the fate of Pass Creek Park has been a long one. Since its $750,000 sale via auction in July 2025, the ultimate fate of what would become of its 23 acres has been up in the air.

Now, its future is finally set.

The former public park will be renamed to Pass Creek RV Park, a new long-term residency space for RVs. The space will be managed by Safari Village Real Estate, which also manages 11 RV parks across Oregon, including in Winston.

Candace Wene conquered breast cancer once already, going into remission after a battle in 2007.

Eighteen years later, after a re-diagnosis of triple negative beast cancer in July, she said things are different for her mentally this time around.

"I was very heavy physically and heavy mentally, until I met my mentor, and she was very inspirational," Wene said. "How did she say this? 'If you can't be authentic in all you say and all you do, don't talk to me.'"

Wene said the first time she wad given a cancer diagnosis, her daughter was an adult with a baby, and her sons were 11 and nine. She said when the doctor told her of the positive results over the phone, she was very worried about how she would raise her children and how she would tell her husband.

Five Douglas County attorneys have applied to be the new circuit court judge. In response to an inquiry from The News-Review, the governor's office of general counsel referred to a list of candidates in the database of the Oregon State Bar.

That list contains five local attorneys under consideration. The bar's database contains no record of disciplinary action against any of the candidates.

GLIDE — FFA members from around the district gathered at French Creek Ranch on Oct. 7 to compete at the first competition of the year: district soils.

Both Sutherlin’s advanced and beginning teams placed first.

At this competition, FFA members are able to go to three soil pits and use their knowledge to identify different soil characteristics. Students grab samples from the four soil horizons in order to identify features such as texture, color or the presence of mottles.

They can also go into the pit to observe soil structure or figure out if there are any special features.

From there, students answer a variety of questions based on their observations. This includes determining the erosion hazard, challenges with irrigation or drainability, as well as what crops are best suited to grow at that location.

Beginning Oct. 15, customers of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will learn more about their reduced benefits. According to a press release from the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS), letters went into the mail Wednesday so customers can start planning for Nov. 1. 

"We know how important SNAP is to families across Oregon," wrote ODHS Acting Deputy Director Dana Hittle. "We are sharing this information now so people can prepare. Any reduction in benefits makes it harder to put food on the table, and ODHS is committed to helping families adjust and find support." 

Hittle's written statement also states she is the co-lead of her agency's federal response team. 

According to the press release, and a Fact Sheet produced by ODHS on Oct. 7, the first group to receive notices are those who applied or renewed after July 4, 2025, when House Resolution 1 (H.R. 1) was enacted by the United State Congress.

That group's benefits will change or close beginning Nov. 1. ODHS estimates that approximately 9,600 households will receive that Oct. 15 letter. 

For those who applied or re-applied for SNAP on or after Oct. 1, however, the new rules enacted by H.R. 1 will apply immediately.

Refreshed and refocused, the Roseburg Indians are ready for the stretch run of the high school football season.

The Tribe is back in action at 7 p.m. Friday at Finlay Field for a Class 5A Special District 4 game against the South Eugene Axe after enjoying a bye last week.

“That was the whole plan going into this, to rest up,” Roseburg coach Matt Watson said. “We had that. Took advantage of that opportunity without missing out on reps.

“Kids got a lot of mental reps. They got a lot of physical reps. (We) did some activities together. Had the seniors over at my house for dinner and it was a lot of fun,” Watson added.

It’s been a trying stretch of the season for Roseburg (1-5, 0-4 SD4). The Indians have lost five consecutive games, but they’ve been so close to tipping the scales in their direction.

As fall arrives, vibrant colors fill the county’s foliage, and downtown Roseburg is no exception. Leaves in shades of red, yellow, orange and green line the streets. With sunny weather in the forecast, it’s a great week to take a walk and enjoy the scenery.
