VOLUME 7, NUMBER 158
Thursday, July 23, 2026
Good morning, Philomath.
The City Council moved forward with its plans for the city lot at Main and 14th by approving a request for proposals package to be sent to the two qualifying development teams. The Philomath Lions Club’s annual book sale at the rodeo grounds is happening today through Saturday. The BCSO Log reports on recent incidents in the region involving that agency. The Philomath Public Art Committee plans to meet today. From our partner content, state forests would see more conservation and less clear cutting under a new management plan. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
