Good morning, Philomath.
Have you noticed the mural on 13th Street behind the Dizzy Hen? We have the story behind this new visual to Philomath’s downtown. Retired deputy fire chief and current city councilor Rich Saalsaa is wrapping up a long walk for health equity. The latest BCSO Log includes entries on a DUII, a crash on Kings Valley Highway and a response to an unoccupied inner tube. PHS robotics hopes you’ll want to eat Panda Express on Friday to help raise funds. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
