VOLUME 7, NUMBER 207
Saturday, September 19, 2026
Good morning, Philomath.
The Philomath High football team erupted for 35 first-half points en route to a 17-point win over visiting Molalla on Friday night. Coverage includes a photo gallery by Andy Cripe. In this weekend’s Three Things column, I wrote about a food drive, an art idea and an event celebrating the late mayor. The OSP Log lists several recent highway fatalities. Two public hearings are on the agenda for Monday’s Planning Commission meeting. Another deer poaching near Monroe occurred. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
