The area is home to the Evergreen museum, com- munity college, hospital, and airport, along with a varied mix of commercial, industrial and residential uses. The Housing Strategy Plan was compiled to support and provide development incentives for housing in the city center and other areas near downtown where there may be capacity for additional housing. It identified desired housing types, evaluat- ed existing related codes and polices, analyzed and forecast housing market conditions, and formulated two pilot projects that “could serve as catalysts for continuing the revitalization of downtown,” senior planner Chuck Darnell stated in his staff report. Both pilot projects are on Second Street: the current fire hall site and Cooperative Ministries. The council passed a resolution adopting the study.

Meanwhile, the next major business facing the city of McMinnville is the annual- ly-scheduled budget commitee meeting, May 19 at 6 p.m., to consider the $35,485,378 gen- eral fund budget proposed by city manager/budget officer Jeff Towery and the administrative team.

Hughes, Vanderzanden, Stephenson A THROWING TRIFECTA dominate field events at 3A districts Amity girls lead team scores after Day One, Y-C boys in 1st place

By LOGAN BRANDON Of the News-Register AMITY – o contend in all three track and field throw- Ting events high school athletes are constant- ly required to combine brute strength, body balance and technique. Competitors in the shot put may have the muscle mass to prevail in their event, but often struggle to master the finesse of the javelin or the torque and balance of the discus. Similarly, wiry javelin contestants use agility and explosiveness to launch their 600- and 800-gram objects, but fall behind when throw- ing the 8.8- and 12-pound shots. Very few athletes can’t count themselves true con- tenders in all three events. During Wednesday’s Class 3A Special District 2 Dis- trict Championships, five competitors separated them- selves from the pack in the three throwing events.

Amity’s Haley Vanderzan- den, Santiam Christian’s Emily Bourne, Willamina’s Hallee Hughes and Yam- hill-Carlton’s Sam Horne and Hunter Stephenson all placed in the top-six of the shot put, discus and javelin.

LEAGUE CHAMPS: Y-C claims 1st conference crown since 2017 Tigers defeat Amity 13-2, clinch top spot

By LOGAN BRANDON Of the News-Register AMITY – For the first time since 2017, the Yam- hill-Carlton softball team has won a league title. With Tuesday’s 13-2 victory at Amity, the Tigers locked up first place in the Class 3A PacWest Conference. “It’s nice to be back in this position again,” said Y-C head coach John Kuehnel. Coach Kuehnel and a pair of standout players from Tuesday’s win – Briley Ingram and Hailee Stephen- son – credited the team’s chemistry for their success. According to the trio, the Tigers have grown close during the season, leading Y-C to five wins in a row leading into Wednesday’s 6-2 loss at Banks. “I think everyone has got- ten along really well. The team has gelled; they’ve come a long ways in terms of supporting one another. It’s not the most talented team I’ve ever had, but it’s certain- ly one of the most cohesive,” noted Kuehnel. Ingram attributed the team bonding to playing year- round softball. The players often compete together during the offseason, includ- ing the summer club season.
