The United Community Action Network Food Bank welcomed a strong turnout Monday evening for its annual Empty Bowls Dinner at the food bank warehouse just north of Roseburg.

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. Attendees were able to select their favorite bowls from a wide range of unique and artistic creations that they took home as a memento from the event.

In addition to enjoying food and taking home a bowl, attendees took part in a silent auction, raffle and wine pull. The evening provided a fun way for people from throughout the community to come together while helping support the Food Bank and its work serving people throughout Douglas County.

"This was our biggest and best Blocktober Fest yet,” Blocktober Fest organizer Kristi Rifenbark said. “The streets were busy from start to finish, and we estimate 7,000 people came downtown throughout the day. Many of our vendors and business owners were thrilled, the performances were fantastic, and there were happy kids everywhere you looked.”

“We've received so many messages since Saturday from people saying how great it was to see downtown come alive like that.

Sutherlin Police are seeking the public’s help as they try to recover a historic steam whistle that was cut from the city’s 1921 Cooke Oil-Fired Steam Locomotive on September 15th.

Police Chief Troy Mills said an investigation into the theft led officers to a suspect who lives in California. Mills said an arrest warrant was issued for 18-year-old Brenden Miller of Redding along with a search warrant for his home. SPD officers traveled to Redding and with the assistance of the Redding Police Department, contacted Miller at his residence. He was ultimately taken into custody and charged with first-degree counts of theft and criminal mischief.

Mills said unfortunately the whistle was not recovered at the residence, and no information was given to law enforcement to help determine the known whereabouts of the whistle. The whistle is a Star Brass steam whistle, which was cut from the locomotive while it was on display in Central Park.

DRAIN — The North Douglas High School defeated Mohawk 52-18 to open Special District 2 play.

“Mohawk's tough physical team and gave us some problems. And what I liked the most was, we were able to kind of figure them out. And kids made a mistake, didn't make it twice, and, you know, so that's good to see,” North Douglas head coach JJ Mast said.

“Still got a long way to go, but there's a lot of season left to go as well. So like I just told the kids, if we keep getting better at the rate we are, we’ll be a tough team at the end of the year.”

With the Mohawks standing stout and not being scared to use physicality and force to stop their opponents, Mast said the Warriors prepared to use shorter run options to keep the ball and clock moving. The team did a good job of buying into the game plan, working together, being patient and talking things through before stepping up to the line.

A pair of fourth quarter scores helped the Roseburg Indians get past Eagle Point 24-17 in a Class 5A Special District 5 contest on Friday night at Finlay Field.

In a game where both offenses struggled to find consistency and momentum, big plays by Roseburg's Leto White and Danner Wertz helped turn the score in the Tribe's favor and keep their undefeated record unblemished. 

"Definitely some places to work on but it feels good to be 5-0," said senior linebacker/running back Nick Ruiz.

"The effort tonight will not be good enough going forward and the boys know that," said Roseburg coach Matt Watson. "I'm frustrated that we let a team like Eagle Point, they're a good team, but I'm frustrated that we let them hang around. But I'm proud that at no point did they give up."

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.
