Good morning, Philomath.

A local studio and “people’s gallery” offers local artists no-fee exhibitions and will be hosting its first First Friday reception this week. We have a story, photo gallery and video out of the No Kings gathering on Saturday. The Philomath Police Log includes details on recent incidents and arrests. Philomath Fire and Rescue has gone through a busy stretch with 33 calls over a seven-day period. We have an obituary for the Rachel Williams, a 1996 Philomath High graduate. The college church will have its annual spaghetti dinner on Friday. The PHS girls golf team and the boys golf team opened their seasons in Salem. And in partner content, a pencil is running for governor. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
