Relaxation is the primary goal of many vacations, but some travelers like to pair relaxation with learning. The “skillcation” trend combines a relaxing vacation with the personal growth that comes from learning a new skill, or building on one you already love.

A skillcation can be as intense as you want: you can spend a just few hours, or a full day, or most of your vacation in learning mode. However, you choose to approach it, challenging yourself to learn something can make a vacation more fulfilling. Spending some vacation time practicing what you learn can also help you take a break from the emails, texts, and social media posts you have to deal with in your daily life.

Now that Roseburg Schools Superintendent Jared Cordon has announced his recommendation that Fir Grove Elementary be closed as the district grapples with declining enrollment, some community members are wondering how the plan was determined.

The district’s 41-page ‘Aligning to Thrive’ document provides more information. Fir Grove currently serves around 200 students, which is the lowest enrollment number in the district among elementary schools. Under the proposed configuration, officials believe those students can be accommodated at nearby schools with available capacity without adding transportation costs or creating long bus rides. The proposed configuration would also require fewer students outside the Fir Grove attendance area to change schools than other options analyzed, according to the district.

The document said facility needs are another consideration. State facility assessments identify approximately $8.5 million in anticipated needs at Fir Grove over the next ten years to maintain existing building systems. Fir Grove has not undergone some of the extensive capital improvements made at other district schools, including a major seismic rehabilitation.

TRI CITY — The South Umpqua High School volleyball team fell in three sets to Marshfield in a Sky 'Em League match on Thursday.

"We definitely pushed through the game hard," South Umpqua junior Gracie Richardson said. "The first set was rough, and then we also were able to work around the messed up rotation (in the second), and we still pushed through. And then on our last set, I think we fought really hard."

Set scores were 25-8, 25-19, 25-20. While South Umpqua head coach Hannah Royal said it took the team some time to warm up in the first set, they competed well in the second and third sets.

Staff with the City of Reedsport are warning of bear sightings in that community.

City Recorder Rhonda Bryan said a mother bear with two cubs was spotted in the Bowman Road area. Bryan said other sightings have been close to Lower Umpqua Hospital, on Ranch Road and Ridgeway, and at other locations.

Residents are asked to be “BearWise” by securing garbage and keeping containers indoors until the day of collection, taking down bird feeders during active bear season or hanging them well out of reach, and keeping pet food inside. Doors, windows, and vehicles should be kept locked, so bears do not smell food inside.

Roseburg Schools Superintendent Jared Cordon is recommending that Fir Grove Elementary School be closed at the end of the current school year.

A document titled “Aligning to Thrive” was posted on the district website on Wednesday night. In it, Cordon said after a decade of declining enrollment, the district is facing a growing mismatch between the number of students it serves and the elementary school system that was built to serve them. Cordon said at the same time, aging facilities require increasing investment, operating costs continue to rise, and lower enrollment at some schools is making it more difficult to organize classrooms and staffing in ways that best support students.

The document said if the proposal is approved by the school board, Fir Grove students would remain at their current school for the rest of this school year and then transition to nearby schools starting in the 2027/28 school year. Proposed receiving schools include Eastwood, Hucrest and Fullerton elementary schools.

Roseburg High School volleyball team blocked their way to a three-set win over Grants Pass in a Southern Oregon Conference Hybrid match Tuesday in Roseburg.

"I feel very comfortable with our team right now," Roseburg senior Kaitlynn Younce said. "I have very high hopes for the rest of the season, I honestly expect wins all around."

Set scores were 25-16, 25-12, 25-23, as Grants Pass showed more strength each set but was ultimately unable to capitalize on their efforts. In the third set, each team battled point by point. At 24-23, an short volley ended in Roseburg's favor as Blair Smith smacked the ball right over the net and onto the floor in between Cavemen for the clean sweep.
