What could possibly go wrong with building a time machine? Worse yet, a malfunctioning one. The young Umpqua Actors Community Theatre performers of “Time Warped” find themselves in that exact predicament.

Written by local playwright and president of UACT, Martin Follose, Time Warped happens when a mad scientist creates a time machine that malfunctions and starts bringing people from the past to his laboratory? Chaos of course. But something magical also takes place; characters from different time periods learn to get along and work together. As more characters are transported to the laboratory, a rift in time is created that may destroy the world. Can the professor and an officer from the future fix things before all is lost? Only time will tell.

Follose is also the band and drama teacher at Riddle High School. He has been with UACT since 2011.

This production is the annual UACT youth production and will be performed by students from around Douglas County.

The Budget 16 Motel on Northeast Stephens Street in Roseburg has been shut down.

A statement from City of Roseburg officials said: “The City of Roseburg and Douglas County Building Department have revoked occupancy at the Budget 16 Motel based on unsafe conditions that violate, fire, life, and safety requirements”. The statement continued, “We hope the property owner will take the necessary steps to obtain appropriate permits and fix the issues causing these deficiencies.

Annette Pacheco of Roseburg was diagnosed with breast cancer in the summer of 2018, and she had been going for a routine screening every year since her late thirties.

Pacheco said the reason she went in for a screening so early in her life was because she felt a lump in her left breast, with a little bit of pain and irritation, and was concerned about it. She mentioned it to her doctor and some imaging was done, and she was told it was a cyst and not to worry about it.

”I said no, I am going to worry about it and asked what they could do to confirm that it was not cancer,” she said.

The doctor did a needle biopsy and it did come back as a cyst. The doctor said it had the normal behavior of a cyst and would sometimes enlarge and sometimes get smaller.

“So, I said okay, I won’t worry about it, but I did screenings from that point on.” She said.

Pacheco was still very cautious because she had lost parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to cancer.

In the summer of 2018, she went in for the routine screening and the radiologist asked for more images, after something in the left breast caught their attention. It was in the same location as the cyst that was checked 20 years prior, when she was 39.

“I said it’s just a cyst, it’s the same location, and they said ‘No, it is not, there’s blood flow here, and cysts do not have that type of blood flow,’ so that was my diagnosis,” Pacheco said.

So, the doctor did a needle biopsy and more imaging was done after that. The biopsy came back positive for breast cancer.

“After the needle biopsy confirmed it was cancer, It was kind of a whirlwind of activity that put me up into Oregon Health Sciences University Hospital (in Portland), where they had a panel of specialists, that would make a group decision to determine the treatment or course of action for the cancer patient,” Pacheco said.

The Douglas County community gathered for an evening of locally made soups, art and fundraising in support of the UCAN Food Bank to help support its mission to reduce food insecurity in Douglas County. The event was well attended, with guests enjoying an opportunity to spend time together while supporting a local cause.

Empty Bowls is one of the UCAN Food Bank’s signature fundraising events. Guests selected a locally crafted bowl to take home and used it throughout the evening to sample a variety of specialty soups prepared by some of Douglas County’s restaurants.

The handmade bowls are an important part of the event and represent the community effort behind Empty Bowls. Be Still Studios, Umpqua Valley Arts Association and Over the Hill Ceramics were the three primary studio partners that helped provide bowls for the event, along with many individual ceramic artists and other donors who contributed pieces.
