Good morning, Corvallis.

A Texas-based vigilante group, criticized by Albany police for not following proper guidelines, stung 34-year-old local sex offender Charles Harold Mellick at Albany Walmart, leading to his arrest on an outstanding warrant – police stressed that safe, proper procedures are essential for investigations.

Residents in Millpond Crossing, a subdivision built on an old saw mill site in Philomath, report high methane levels and chemical hazards that have reached 50 percent—levels experts say should only be between 5 to 15 percent.

Local officials and the developer are working to complete mitigation measures on upcoming phases while residents remain worried about ongoing risks.

A construction manager from Corvallis will lead the planned jail expansion in Albany aimed at upgrading the facility and boosting security.

Demolition continues at the Chick-Fil-A site in Corvallis—officials are still reviewing the building permit to clear the remaining issues before work can proceed.

ODOT officials say motorists must remove studded tires by April 1 — failure to do so will result in a $165 fine — and increased road damage.

They advise drivers to use traction tires — which offer safe travel without extra wear — or chains to reduce maintenance costs.
