VOLUME 7, NUMBER 20
Saturday, January 24, 2026

Good morning, Philomath.

In this weekend’s Three Things column, I write about a visit to a quilt exhibit at the museum, share a story about the bus ride home from the 2021 boys soccer state title game and midwinter camping on the coast. In boys basketball, Philomath won a big game on the road last night. Plus, we have the latest OSP Log, previews of upcoming city meetings and more. A heads up for girls basketball fans — today’s game vs. Astoria was moved up to 1 p.m. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
