Update to this story: Fare and route changes to Yamhill County Transit are shifting from a September launch date to a tentative November 1, 2026. This change allows more room for the Yamhill County Board of Commissioners to discuss the changes and give the public room to comment.
🚌
The shift also schedules time for YCT to update existing signage and materials to communicate the changes to the public, according to YCT Transit Manager Cynthia Thompson.
🚌
“As we developed a more detailed implementation timeline, we determined that a September 1 implementation date was not feasible,” Thompson said in an email. “Moving the implementation to November 1 provides the time needed to complete the approval process and ensure the changes are communicated and implemented properly.”

In her introductory column, food preservationist Sarah Downing teased a jam article, but as soon as she sat down to write, she said she was overwhelmed. There are just so many options: traditional jams, low-sugar jams, or freezer jams? Could one article include the safe use of boiling water canners and the science of sugar, pectin, and acid?
🍓
In the end, she decided that freezer jams would be the perfect subject for the first article. Head to newsberg.org to learn about freezer jam and how you can make it at home.

Yamhill County Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASA, has entered into a temporary contract to help rebuild Lincoln County’s CASA program after that program lost its certification with the Oregon CASA Network. Lincoln County’s CASA program was formerly administered by the nonprofit organization Voices for Children, which also oversaw the CASA program in Benton County until it was absorbed by CASA of Linn County.
🧑‍🧒
The arrangement is intended to ensure some of Lincoln County’s most vulnerable children do not lose access to advocacy support, with the ultimate goal of creating a fully independent Lincoln County organization.

New fares include one-way tickets, day passes, monthly passes, and annual passes, with local fares starting at $2 and ranging up to $250 for an annual pass.

Cash will be accepted, but only for one-way rides.

Newsberg reported in May that the stand’s landlord had declined to renew its lease and that the business had also outgrown its space. Gregory said finding a replacement site in Newberg has proven difficult, despite steady interest from customers.
