It’s been 18 years since Kevin Johnathan Omann of Canyonville was buried on what should have been his 27th birthday. Now, the second of his two convicted killers is being released from prison.

It was a case that rocked a canyon, when two high-school students at Days Creek Charter School were arrested for Kevin Omann’s murder in September 2007. Each was tried and convicted as an adult, and sentenced initially to life with a possibility of parole after 25 years.

One is already out of prison. The other is Austin Montgomery Clark, who just turned 35 in the Oregon State Penitentiary. The Omann family recently received notice from the Victim Information System in Oregon that Clark will soon be released.

CANYONVILLE — Holding an envelope with a check enclosed, Safe Haven Maternity Home Executive Director Evie Kumar stood on the podium and gave the 30-second check acceptance speech to the leaders and representatives from over 70 Oregon nonprofits Thursday in the convention room at Seven Feathers Casino Resort.

The Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation (CCUIF) awarded over $750,000 to 93 nonprofits in fall 2025 grants ranging from $2,900 to $10,000 on Thursday at Seven Feathers Casino Resort.

A featureless wooden mother watching her child take its first steps; a ghostly tree hanging over a dark river; disembodied plaster cast hands reaching out to each other; a woman draped in cloth, bathed in green light; corroded photos of preserved tree stumps standing in the sand at low tide.

These are just some of the works currently on display at Umpqua Valley Arts after the gallery opened five new exhibits Jan. 9. All will remain on display until March 13.

While they all feature different artists, mediums and subjects, Exhibitions Coordinator Ashley Cluver said most are connected to one common theme: the never-ending element of change, and how the human race fits into it.

It is a small business owner's worst nightmare: a single click on an unfamiliar link in a text message or email and suddenly all of their private data is accessed, leaving all their had work vulnerable to collapse.

According to Integotec owner and President Matt Carter, it's an all-too-common occurrence.

"It truly only takes one click to unravel a life's work," Carter said.

This was the warning he shared with a crowd of women-owned small businesses Tuesday night during a talk on cybersecurity. The talk was held during a CCD Business Development Corporation Women in Business meeting.

According to Carter, staying knowledgable on cybersecurity is particularly important for small businesses, as around 50% of known cyberattacks happen to them. After a successful attack, he said 60% of small businesses close within six months following the frustration and economic strain that can result from hacks.

But this isn't because the attackers are particularly skilled. He said 95% of successful attacks are a result of human error, specifically from small businesses lacking the know-how on preventing the damage before it's done.

Umpqua Community College (UCC) continues moving business into downtown Roseburg with the relocation of two programs.

A press release from the college said the UCC Woolley Center and UCC’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) have moved to the downtown space owned by the college at 729 SE Jackson St. in Roseburg.

"We are super excited to be downtown," President Rachel Pokrandt said. "We've been focusing a lot of our investments in the downtown, and so this is just a part of that initiative, and it is a beautiful, beautiful space. It's almost double the size of what those two programs had previously."

Multiple things were happening at the same time Wednesday morning, around Roseburg's unhoused community.

Bernie Woodard was not in court Wednesday morning, and did not have to be. Instead, he was on the hill above the Umpqua Greenway, working on another project involving the congregation of Roseburg's unhoused community. 

Woodard's Elk Island Trading Group, LLC, had filed a complaint in Douglas County Circuit Court, against the City of Roseburg. According to court records, that case was scheduled for hearing Wednesday, to rule on the City of Roseburg's motion to dismiss the complaint.

In 2017, Blue Zones Project-Umpqua was formed to inspire healthier and more active living in a county struggling with maintaining healthy behavior among its residents.

Nine years later, that project has grown into Thrive Umpqua, with 14,876 people having participated in well-being activities to date.

By 2021, it measured the county to be outperforming the state in stress, tobacco use, nutrition and body mass index risk areas.

According to Thrive Umpqua Executive Director Jess Hand, it's the kind of growth that can't be achieved easily or in a short time frame, and certainly not alone.

"For us, we know this is long term, generational work," Hand said. "Changing a community's culture of health takes a lot of effort from a lot of parties and a lot of partnerships to really change the tide in some of these areas."

Now, as Thrive is looking forward to its 10th anniversary, its reflecting on how the program helped to inspire this change in Douglas County and are looking forward to new ways to motivate it further.

After two sets of motions, seconds and votes, Roseburg Schools and Umpqua Community College (UCC) said yes to an opportunity for students to prepare for a career in the health care field even before college.

The Roseburg School Board and UCC Board of Education both voted Wednesday on a 25-year facility use and programming agreement for the Welcome Center and Medical Careers Hub. The joint special session board meeting was held at Roseburg High School in the Rose Theater.

"The agreement we bring to you tonight supports the investment on the part of both organizations to create a model that is the next evolution of service to the community and students and extends our ability to serve students with college coursework while they are still in high school," UCC President Rachel Pokrandt said.

In the agreement, UCC granted Roseburg Schools rights to use approximately 3,400 square feet of instructional and support space in the Medical Careers Hub, including skills labs and classrooms, to provide educational access to Roseburg High School students in high-skill, high-wage medical career pathways. UCC students will be able to use Roseburg's area when not in use, and the college will schedule Roseburg students and staff in other spaces on campus as needed for academics and skills learning.
