Good morning, Philomath.
The Philomath High football team pulled off a close win last night in Coquille, 34-30. In my Three Things column, I wrote about two artistic students, Philomath receiving national recognition and Patrick Lumber’s contribution to the elementary school. We have a preview on two public meetings set for Monday — the City Council and the fire district’s board of directors. The elementary school received a literacy grant. The latest OSP Log is also online. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
