VOLUME 7, NUMBER 27
Tuesday, January 27, 2026
Good morning, Philomath.
Despite the troubling national news that we’re seeing, I hope everybody had a great weekend and start to the week. In this newsletter, we have the latest call lists from the Philomath Police Department and Philomath Fire and Rescue. I covered a girls basketball game on Saturday and we have reports out of a swim meet and wrestling tournament. Plus, a preview of an upcoming school district Policy Committee meeting. Partner content includes a piece on a budget shortfall for behavioral health and addiction treatment because of plummeting marijuana prices. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
