Located on the Umpqua Community College campus in Winchester, the Umpqua Valley STEAM Hub is dedicated to helping Douglas County learn about all things STEAM — Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math.

The Umpqua Valley STEAM Hub features a lending library, with thousands of pieces of various STEAM learning equipment it loans out to schools, libraries and other interested parties. Items include educational VR googles, i-Robots and many more games, toys and other items that teach students of different ages and levels about science and math.

The hub just obtained a van to be able to transport these resources all across Douglas County, giving a better opportunity to host events in rural towns and communities and teach students about STEAM-related items. The Hub also hosts educational events for children and trainings for teachers.

Since entering Roseburg in June 2023, Explore Engage Enjoy Pediatric Therapy (EEE) has worked with youth to help them improve their emotional regulation, physical coordination and speaking proficiency. This year, they're taking the next step to push that work further.

Editors note: This article references a murder, and contains language and information that may not be appropriate for some readers, especially children.

“Good morning to all of you.”

With those six words uttered Tuesday, Douglas County District Court Judge George Ambrosini officially commenced the murder trial of Dwayne Michael Lauka. It’s been a long time coming.

Lauka, 48, is awaiting trial for the August 2023 murder of Terry Lea Deane, 78, in her Oakland home. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge of second-degree murder.

The cases has spanned 2 ½ years and involved dozens of motions and hearings, including the withdrawal of six attorneys for Lauka, all following his request for a change.

The trial began Tuesday with the mundane yet critical process of selecting jurors to try the case. The prospective jurors were ushered into the courtroom in groups of about 16.

The Roseburg City Council is getting closer to policy on reimbursing legal fees. The council spent approximately half of Monday's regular meeting going back over the subject of city dollars and ethics investigations. 

The subject came up in November when one councilor made an individual request for reimbursement of legal fees, after a complaint was made to the Oregon Government Ethics Commission (OGEC). At the Nov 10 meeting, a majority of the council voted to reimburse the councilor in the amount of $2,760.25. 

Now, the city is working on a policy before it happens again. The current language of the proposal would apply the reimbursement to employees, volunteer members of commissions, and the mayor in addition to city councilors.

The Sutherlin School District did not need to look far for the next person to lead the Bulldogs.

The Sutherlin School District board of directors unanimously voted to name Jon Martz as the next superintendent during Monday's regular board meeting.

Martz will take over the duties of Terry Prestianni, who is set to retire on June 30. Prestianni has been superintendent since 2016.

"This is a wonderful district filled with great people, and I am honored for the chance to step into this role as district leader. I look forward to the work ahead and to supporting the continued success of our students," Martz said.

Martz is the principal of Sutherlin High School, a position he has maintained for five years. Before the high school, he spent time as the principal and as a teacher at Sutherlin Middle School.

More than the exercise, more than the hunt, more than the thrill of finding a cache, the best part about geocaching for Ruth Hagemeister is a chance to see something new with family and friends.

"It's a fun adventure for you, your kids, your grandkids," Hagemeister said. "It's amazing. You go out there and find hidden treasures and visit new places you've never been before and never even thought to go."

On Saturday, she and other explorers got to dive into the hobby with the Discover Roseburg 15 Land of Umpqua Geocache Series kickoff. Held at the Roseburg Public Library, the event brought in groups of geocachers to socialize and plot out their routes for tracking down caches.

If there's one thing Dr. Roger Dreiling wants people to know about heart health, it's that a preventative mindset, promoting active efforts from individuals to better themselves, is crucial to maintaining health.

"If there's any message I would give you, it's not about necessarily seeing your doctor, because your doctor's not feeding you. It's not about taking your medicines, because you won't need medicines if you take care of yourself," Dreiling said. "We need to be more conscious about how we're eating and how much we're eating, and we are not exercising enough. I can't stress that enough."

That message was shared by Dreiling and other health-focused professionals on Friday at CHI Mercy Health's Third Annual Heart Health Fair.

Across the morning and afternoon, attendees came to receive advice and information and take part in free services, such as blood pressure screenings and body mass index readings.

For local healthcare-focused organizations, it wad a chance to connect with the community on the issues they aim to address, such as dental hygiene, mental health, nutrition and exercise, and how they connect with heart health.
DIXONVILLE — The Umpqua Valley Christian girls basketball team took a paramount step toward winning the Skyline League championship on Friday night.

Meagan Hellenthal delivered a double-double with 18 points and 14 rebounds, and the Monarchs defeated Powers 40-30 in a matchup of Skyline unbeatens.

UVC (17-6, 9-0 Skyline) remained in sole possession of first place in the league race with one game left. The Cruisers (14-7, 7-1) had their 11-game winning streak snapped.

"That was a huge win — in rankings and for league," Hellenthal said. "(Powers) was definitely our biggest opponent in league and we've been looking forward to this game all season. We played as a team, battled and got the W."

It was a physical game, with the two teams combining for 34 fouls.

"It was really brutal. We were expecting it to be physical, and came out and went super hard," UVC senior wing Avery Renyer said. "It was rough. We had to keep ourselves under control, and play hard and play for each other."

83 years ago, four Army chaplains led crew members aboard the USAT Dorchester in prayer as the ship, struck by a U-Boat torpedo, sunk off the coast of Greenland. Before doing so, the chaplains gave their lifejackets to those in need, making the ultimate sacrifice for their brothers in arms.

To honor their sacrifice, residents of Douglas County gathered on Saturday to attend the 14th Annual Four Chaplains Ceremony and Legion of Honor event in Roseburg.

The event began with a ceremony in which U.S Navy veteran Jim Little, joined by U.S. Army veteran and Douglas County Clerk Dan Loomis, recounted the story of The Four Chaplains and other men who survived sinking of the USAT Dorchester.
