YONCALLA — Channing Robbins said he tried bull riding one time and was inspired to get better at it.

"I started at the NWYRA (Northwest Youth Rodeo Association) Rodeo," the 14-year-old from Yoncalla said. "I saw other kids doing it, so I wanted to try."

The Yoncalla Rodeo was his first time competing this summer. He said he has travelled around Oregon and Washington throughout his past few years competing as a bull rider, and plans to attend the Seven Feathers Fall Classic Rodeo in Canyonville in September.

He has been a part of the group of young athletes involved at the Yoncalla Rodeo arena throughout the summers, practicing with his friends and other rodeo enthusiast to prepare for competition.

While Robbins has been competing from the back of a bull for the past four years, he said this might be his last year focusing on the sport. He's planning to attend North Douglas High School next year, and has basketball and baseball higher in his priorities.

Robbins took a first place buckle home in the steer riding competition during the junior portion of the Yoncalla Rodeo on Friday. He said he felt good during the ride.

The Yoncalla Rodeo was held Friday and Saturday, with a junior rodeo held first on Friday before moving into the professional events.

Spiderking Studios is currently in production on its sixth feature film, IT CALLS, a psychological cosmic horror film inspired by the mythos created by H.P. Lovecraft. Filming began in mid-May and is taking place throughout Roseburg, Bandon and other locations across Southern Oregon, with production expected to wrap on Aug. 1.

Produced on a $10,000 budget raised entirely through crowdfunding, IT CALLS represents Spiderking Studios' most ambitious production to date. The independent feature blends psychological horror with cosmic dread while exploring themes of grief, insignificance and identity.

The film follows Charles, a man haunted by the death of his partner in a drunk-driving accident. After abandoning his former life to disappear into a quiet coastal town, Charles attempts to numb himself through routine and isolation. But reality begins to unravel as visions bleed into waking life, reflections speak back, and the ocean itself appears to be watching him.

The production has already generated significant interest online, with behind-the-scenes videos accumulating millions of views across social media platforms as audiences follow the film's development.

CORVALLIS — A lack of clutch hitting once again spoiled a solid day at the ballpark for the Roseburg Dr. Stewart's as the team finished play in the 49th Mickey Riley Star Spangled Tournament on Sunday at Hansen Stadium at Taylor Field.

Students in Umpqua Community College’s Southern Oregon Wine Institute Wine Making & Viticulture program have earned four medals in two prestigious wine competitions, highlighting their hands-on education and the Umpqua Valley grapes they transformed into award-winning wines.

A UCC release said the students’ most recent success came at the 2026 Pacific Northwest Wine Competition where they earned a Double Gold Medal for the 2023 Pinot Noir and a Silver Medal for the 2023 Tempranillo.

In a post on Facebook, veneer manufacturing company Nordic Veneer Inc. announced production at its Roseburg facility will cease permanently after 72 years in operation.

"After careful and difficult consideration, we have made the decision to close our operations,” Nordic Veneer Inc. owner Art Adams said. “Our industry has faced sustained wood supply and market challenges, structural realignment, and foreign competition. Despite our team’s hard work, recent investments in efficiency and deep commitment to this business, sustaining operations is no longer viable under current market conditions."

The company was founded in 1954 by business partners Dick Adams and Norm Jacobsen. In 1960, the pair bought the Perkins veneer plant in Dixonville. The company has since operated under the leadership of the Adams family for four generations.

According to plant manager Bayley Adams, the company had 55 employees prior to a layoff in April. 26 mill employees and four office employees will lose their jobs due to the closure.

"Yesterday July 2, was our last day of production. We will be in the office for another several weeks tying up loose ends," Bayley Adams said.

The Pepsi Bottlecaps American Legion single A team fell 4-0 to the Klamath Falcons on Day 1 of the Fourth of July Tournament, held Thursday-Sunday at Champion Car Wash Field in Roseburg.

"We played K Falls last Friday, and didn't do very good, had lots of errors," Pepsi head coach Austin Anderson said. "The past two days of practice, we started hammering down all the fundamentals of baseball, and then we came out here and they stayed in the game."

He said the Bottlecaps did a much better job of holding runners to bases, especially second, and understanding signs. Holding a runner as close as possible to second base can count huge in the game, as a base hit can send the runner in quickly to score if not contained. Anderson said the Pepsi players worked on that part of the game, and it made a difference as they kept the Falcons down to scoring no more than one run an inning.

CORVALLIS — The Roseburg Dr. Stewart's and Moundtime (Portland) were locked in a tight battle, but Moundtime edged out the Docs for a 2-1 victory to begin play in the 49th Mickey Riley Star Spangled Tournament at Hansen Stadium at Taylor Field. 

Moundtime's Brandon Yee got the edge over Roseburg's Ty Hellenthal. Both hurlers pitched all seven innings and kept the opposing batters off balance. 

Yee, a lefty from Valley Catholic High School in Beaverton, scattered seven hits and allowed one unearned run with three strikeouts and one walk. He managed to pitch around trouble and got the Docs to leave five runners stranded in scoring position. 

Hellenthal got his third spot start with the Docs and allowed two runs on seven hits with no walks and two strikeouts. He suffered his first loss for the Docs this summer. 

Vincent Worley did the damage for Moundtime (9-5). The nine-hitter in the lineup came through with a pair of two-out singles to score runs in the fifth and seventh innings. Worley's hits gave Moundtime the lead on both occasions. 

Roseburg (9-7) answered quickly after falling behind 1-0 in the fifth. Danner Wertz reached on an error and scored on a single by Amos Bowers. 

Teagan Sprague reached base in the seventh with the Docs trailing 2-1 and moved to second base on a sacrifice bunt by Bowers. Sprague was left stranded at second as Yee got Paxton Burke and Regan Soper to fly out and end the game. 

Burke was 2-for-4 in the game and Sprague was 2-for-3. 

Hudson McIntyre joined Worley as the only Moundtime players with two hits. 

The Docs continue play in the Mickey Riley Star Spangled Tournament at 10 a.m. Friday against the Hillsboro Baseballism Wet Sox.

Sutherlin residents sang along and gathered together in the town’s Central Park on Thursday night for an evening of country throwbacks as Honky Tonk Circus performed for the second show of Music Off Central.

The performance came from Honky Tonk Circus, a country group focused on the sounds of the genres biggest 90’s hits like Garth Brooks, Toby Keith and Shania Twain. At the front of the group is Nashville-based songwriter Jeremy McComb, who was nominated for the 2025 British CMA awards International Single of the Year for his song “Laying Low.”

It’s a lineup designed to bring up a nostalgia for days gone by and a chance to experience what was loved in days past. For McComb, it was a fitting soundtrack to how he felt pulling into Sutherlin, a town not dissimilar from his own childhood home.

“I grew up in North Idaho originally, so it kind of feels like you’re coming home,” McComb said. “Coming back to these types of towns, you just don’t see them like this anymore...I’ve never been to Sutherlin. You pull in and it’s like, man, this is what my town felt like when I was a kid. People were waving at each other when we drove by. The restaurants are mom-and-pop and there’s a drugstore and a hardware store. It’s like all those things that you got to grow up with.”

Old hits and familiar favorites are a commonality in this year’s Music Off Central lineup, with several bands themed around throwbacks and tributes. According to event organizer Dan Bartram, that’s just how the community likes it.

“We did a poll with our people in the community and we asked ‘what do you want to hear?’ and it was always like ‘just bring in songs we know, we can sing to, we can dance to and that we know the words to,’ and that’s what we did,” Bartram said.
