VOLUME 7, NUMBER 224
Saturday, October 10, 2026
Good morning, Philomath.
In this weekend’s Three Things column, I wrote about Rocco De La Rosa playing for the Beavers, the namesake of today’s cross-country meet and emergency alert systems. Philomath Fire and Rescue’s board will meet at 3 p.m. Monday and that evening at 7, the Philomath City Council plans to gather for a meeting. OSU released numbers on its enrollment. The latest OSP Log is also on the site. Lots happening today — in addition to the cross-country meet, we have the Harvest Fest at the grange and the open house at the fire station. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
