Corvallis Citizen Bringing local news to the community by the community

An 8am car accident on the corner of 29th and Fillmore caused a power pole to move from one side of the street to the other. The accident occurred on on Thursday, April 19th causing PP&L to shut off power and deal with the pole.

The stop sign fared no better.

No word as to who was involved or their medical condition.

It appears the Democrat Herold/Gazette Times decided to give away mini papers titled "This Week" chock full of ads to Corvallis residents - even those that have not asked for it. Residents now wake up to a paper on their lawn complete with one or two plastic bags. Never fear, your paper is recyclable. Of course, that requires that you drive your papers to a recycling area or have waste removal services. If you do not remove the paper and allow them to accumulate at some point you may get in trouble with the city for garbage in your yard.

Fluffy, wet snow on Thursday closed schools in the Corvallis School District. In anticipation of freezing conditions on Friday, OSU has announced opening campus at 10am.

Another vandal has struck NW Corvallis. This time at 2:29am, on a Friday night. 3 individuals walked along a sidewalk. 2 of the individuals crossed to the other side of the street while 1 individual stumbled across the front yard of a home. It appeared that he tried to catch himself on a tree and broke off a main limb. The individual looked as if he had a bicycle helmet on. Very grainy night time video has captured this incident.

There have been cases of vandalism in and around Corvallis prior to the civil war game. In Philomath, someone took out a tree. In Corvallis, someone's car mirror and tree were removed.
