When the winter storm approached and people around the region began losing electric- ity, holiday travelers canceled. But the cancellations were no problem: People without power at home were clamoring for places to stay with heat, lights and hot water. “It was wild,” said Brandie Blanco, Atticus manager. The hotel filled with people. Some spent a night or two; others extended their stays for several days as they waited for electricity to return.

Many trees were damaged around schools and in other places across Yamhill County during the recent ice storm. The city of McMinnville issued an emergency blanket See LODGING, A2 tree removal permit this week and released guidance on public/private responsibilities for dealing with hazardous debris.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Coaches prepare for season after receiving clearance from state By LOGAN BRANDON Of the News-Register Yamhill County’s high school football players have trained for months with no clear picture of the Oregon School Ath- letics Association’s (OSAA) plan for a condensed season in the spring. After repeated delays to the start of a new grid- iron campaign, the state finally released a framework for the return of athletics earlier this year. Still, football, as a full-contact sport, remained on the governor’s prohibited list of activities, which also included indoor volleyball and basketball. Athletes at Amity, Dayton, McMinnville, Sheridan, Willamina and Yamhill-Carlton high schools continued to prepare for a season which may never occur. Hope arrived last Wednesday: the state eased restrictions for schools which could open safely for at least one-day-a- week of in-person learning. Suddenly, with only three weeks before the official start of fall sports’ condensed season on March 1, area football programs needed to prepare in record time. Rusty Rae/News-Register As student-athletes return to the practice pitch, coaches in Freshman Seamus Miller (24) shows his emotion after scoring the first goal of a 2-1 win over Bushnell Tuesday evening the county expressed equal excitement for the resumption of on the Linfield pitch.
