VOLUME 7, NUMBER 57
Friday, March 13, 2026
Good morning, Philomath.
A Philomath School District bus contract decision was pulled from the last night’s School Board meeting agenda. The Warriors couldn’t stick with No. 1 Stayton at the 4A girls basketball tournament and will face Marist this morning. The city has taken the next step to partner with the UO in a project planning program. Benton County has announced the hiring of new counsel. Partner content includes a rundown of state parks that will have parking fees by the end of the month. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
