Good morning, Philomath.

Philomath High’s seniors Tlacaelel Brambila Boatner and Avery Smith were announced as homecoming king and queen. We have a photo gallery out of Saturday’s Lilly’s Lope for Hope. Nancy Muir passed away last week and we have an obituary. Plus, the police log and fire calls and items on the Warriors volleyball, No Kings Day rally, leaf pickup schedule and a business ribbon-cutting. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
