Good morning, Corvallis.

On Saturday morning, March 22, a new matte black drinking fountain was dedicated on the Corvallis Waterfront to honor Civil Rights leader Calvin Henry with a plaque, and Albany city councilor Dr. Ramycia McGhee & NAACP representatives joined the ceremony.

Henry led the local NAACP chapter and helped launch community leadership, and the memorial reflects his enduring impact on equal access.

In Corvallis, two first-time candidates will challenge the incumbent for a school board seat on May 20 — the only contested race on the ballot.
