VOLUME 7, NUMBER 132
Tuesday, June 16, 2026
Good morning, Philomath.
Benton County received funding for an expert assessment of its criminal justice and corrections systems. The Philomath Police Log’s latest entries include a hit-and-run, fraud report and a bus incident. Philomath Fire and Rescue helped at the scene of a motorcycle crash and also an outbuilding fire on Highway 99. The OSU arboretum curator will be featured at this week’s Dementia Warriors meeting — and the public is invited. I’m on vacation until June 22, so I’ve chosen some features from the past to revisit for extra content. Today’s is a story that I wrote in 2021 about the “dogs of the Philomath School District.” — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
