VOLUME 6, NUMBER 234
Wednesday, November 5, 2025
Good morning, Philomath.
We have the unfortunate news of 1993 Philomath High graduate Devon Dobek, who went missing in the Mount Hood wilderness on a hunting trip. The PHS girls soccer team beat Molalla yesterday to move on to the quarterfinals; coverage also includes a photo gallery by Andy Cripe. The Benton County Genealogical Society has a program coming up Saturday that might be of interest to family historians. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
