Good morning, Philomath.
Today’s newsletter features items on an upcoming event, volunteer opportunity, public safety, sports and more. The Mother’s Day Craft Show at Philomath Scout Lodge is set for Saturday. No injuries were reported in a rear-end collision that occurred yesterday morning. The latest Philomath Police Log and Philomath Fire and Rescue Calls are online. The city announced the “If I Were Mayor” contest winners. Philomath City Park’s gazebo needs a paint job. In sports, Philomath High’s baseball team took an important series-opening win. Boys tennis was at Sweet Home, girls tennis at Marist, boys volleyball at a tournament and softball at Stayton. We also have a letter to the editor, a death notice for Charles Holstine and partner content. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
