VOLUME 7, NUMBER 161

Good morning, Philomath.
It’s time for the Benton County Fair and Rodeo and we have a preview. The latest Philomath Police Log covers the July 17-23 period. Philomath Fire and Rescue had a busy week according to its call log. Oregon Journalism Project has a piece on data that shows Oregon Medicaid spending far outpaced inflation and population growth over the past decade with the state now facing a shortfall. While driving around this morning, I spotted some colorful rocks at City Park, which is today’s Philomath in Photos image. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
