VOLUME 6, NUMBER 240
Wednesday, November 12, 2025
Good morning, Philomath.
The work of a unique artist is the subject of an upcoming show and sale that benefits the Independent Community Club’s historic building projects. The all-league football team features nine Warriors at 14 positions and includes Rocco De La Rosa as the Offensive Player of the Year. Mushrooms were in the spotlight at a special event last weekend at Beazell. Plus, a Philomath man was sentenced in a sexual abuse case, the School Board has a full agenda for this week’s meeting and concerns over an ICE facility coming to Newport. We also have the latest in the Mount Union Stories series and be sure to check out this morning’s Stacker article — it includes a Philomath athlete. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
