VOLUME 7, NUMBER 188
Friday, August 28, 2026
Good morning, Philomath.
The Corvallis-to-the-Sea Trail, which goes right through Philomath, is complete again with the opening of a new section. Philomath High’s girls volleyball team, which split four jamboree matches yesterday at Sweet Home, heads into a new season with a lot of changes in the lineup. In partner content, we have a piece about officials urging caution ahead of Labor Day with “a lot of fire season left.” See you at the football game tonight. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
