VOLUME 7, NUMBER 89
Tuesday, April 21, 2026
Good morning, Philomath.
Secretary of State Tobias Read and Rep. David Gomberg will be in Philomath Saturday afternoon for a town hall. The city has launched its Philomath 2050 community survey. We have the latest Philomath Police Log and Philomath Fire and Rescue Calls. Plus, Rotary welcomes the community to today’s program and Benton County has personnel news. In sports, the track and field team was in action on Saturday, the softball team won on the road Monday and the baseball team run-ruled Sweet Home Monday. Plus, the girls golf team and the boys golf team were both in action. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
