Good morning, Philomath.
The PHS Shining Stars dance and drill team is getting ready to compete at state. The boys tennis team dropped a close one at home to Dallas yesterday. The girls also played Dallas but on the road. We have a letter to the editor on the fed’s plan to log protected lands. In partner content, the flu shot rate continues to drop in Oregon, plus news about a fungal disease that has been detected in Oregon’s bats. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
