Good morning, Philomath.
The annual Public Safety Chili Cook-off is coming up Sunday at the rodeo grounds. The city of Philomath is warning residents about a phishing scheme. A 23-year-old woman who died in 1910 is this week’s Mount Union Stories subject. The county is urging families to catch up on childhood vaccinations. Philomath’s Lee Miller is among those participating in a forest health roundtable discussion. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
