Good morning, Philomath.

The Philomath City Council is taking the last steps with cleaning up the property at Main and 14th and will soon be talking about what to do with it next. We have a Warrior Watch that previews state cross-country, volleyball and girls soccer. Plus, items on deer poaching case just north of Kings Valley and a rundown of food assistsance resources for those in need. I’m writing on the road for the next few days — I’m currently in Coos Bay for state volleyball and will be in Eugene tomorrow for state cross-country. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
