Philomath High’s graduation numbers from the Class of 2025 are well ahead of the state average. Benton County is offering its Adult Prom again this year but tickets go fast. Rotary will discuss vision plan, projects at next meeting. We have an obituary for Janice Page. Partner content includes lawmakers discussing federal agents and masks, state plans for new audits and Stacker’s rundown of record snowfalls in the state’s history. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
