New sushi restaurant opens at former Coldstone Creamery location in a McMinnville shopping center on 99W .
Below is story from the Sept. 23, 2013, Review,
Linfield College student newspaper. The restaurant's first day of operation was
Nov. 2, 2013 (not in October), when Mac News took these photos. (Oh, by the
way, this restaurant is so close to Starbucks in the same shopping center (Albertson's is the anchor tenant) that
you can pick up Starbucks’ wifi signal.

McMinnville is getting a new slice of Japanese
culture as a new sushi restaurant aims to open its door by October.
Sushi Kyo Express has taken up occupancy in the
strip of businesses across the parking lot from Albertson’s, at 887 SW Keck Dr.
After eight years and two other locations in
Salem, the business owner’s decided to branch out to McMinnville.
“When we were driving around we saw the college
and right here, [there wasn’t] any sushi places,” Elvis Yan said. “We decided
to come here and give it a try.”
Sushi Kyo is family owned, according to Yan. As
part of the family, Yan explained that the manager of McMinnville’s SushiKyo
has not been chosen, but it will be decided before opening in October.
“We’re trying to [open] by the first week of next
month,” Yan said. “If that does not happen, we’ll [try] for some time in
October.”
According to their website, “at Sushi Kyo,
[their] goal is to provide people with healthy and delicious foods,” and “[the]
atmosphere is tranquil and inviting, and our staff is courteous and
knowledgeable about the menu selections. We treat our staff like a family so
that in return, they treat our customers with respect and are eager to please,”
Yan said.
The food at Sushi Kyo features traditional
Japanese cuisine as well as some sushi rolls with a new twist. The price ranges
from $1.35 to $2.45 for sushi available from the conveyor belt bar. They also
sell party platters for $37.95 to $52.60. Sushi Kyo also has a selection of non-sushi
items so that anyone can enjoy.
While the restaurant is under construction, the
owners declined access inside.
“We want it be a surprise for everyone,” Yan
said.
The restaurant’s website features a blog,
featuring the business’s updates, short articles on sushi and where coupons are
available.

Berry-picking fun in St. Paul
St. Paul
(Oregon) is not in Mac, it’s about 22 miles from McMinnville in Yamhill County. And, it's not
even in Yamhill County. In Marion County, it is about eight miles from Newberg in
Yamhill County. Get that!? The "Berry Patch" of Koch Family Farm (opened in 1928) in St. Paul was a fun place to
pick cane berries (rasp-, boysen- and Marionberries) on 7/5/2013. Slide show courtesy of Wildcatville.

Signs of love
Joan Austin's death on 6/5/2013 brought an outpouring of love in Yamhill County. For example, see this photo (taken afternoon of 6/8/2013 by Mac News) in Dundee. Also, a reader board with "JOAN WE MISS YOU" was seen in Newberg. Mac News assumes there were more signs with heartfelt messages. A former Linfield College trustee, she received an honorary degree from the college.

Championship gear: Shop spends post-Super Bowl night printing Seahawks shirts
While Seattle Seahawks fans were reveling in Sunday night’s Super Bowl XLVIII victory, the staff at Textile Graphics in McMinnville was working through the night screen-printing 900-dozen championship shirts in preparation for Monday sales.
“It’s the most number of shirts we’ve ever printed over a short period of time,” said Company President Jeff Chapman. He said 15 employees plunged into the job at 7:30 p.m. and were still going strong at 7:30 a.m.
They boxed the shirts for shipping to a Seattle distribution hub. The first truck pulled out halfway through the printing process. A second truck headed north later with the rest.
The client was VF Imagewear of Tampa, Fla., represented by Operations Manager Chris Galvis. It is a subsidiary of the VF Corporation, owner of such iconic brands as Lee, Wrangler and North Face, which bills itself as the world’s largest apparel company.
Galvis said VF dispatched two shipments of shirts for possible screen printing, one to Textile Graphics and the other to a vendor in Denver, which will be returning its supply. Textile received a long-sleeved blue version, to which it was asked to affix an NFL-approved Seahawks logo.
Knowing VF would be looking for a Northwest printer, once Seattle won the NFC title game, Chapman put in a bid. And he succeeded in landing the job.
“It worked out pretty well for me, and for them,” he said.
“This event only happens once a year,” Galvis said. “Our job is to look for contractors.”
He said the company repeats the drill for all major sports, so is continually lining up vendors capable of serving major cities.
This being the first Super Bowl championship for the Seahawks, and the first professional sports championship for a Seattle team in more than 30 years, demand is expected to run very high. Galvis said he is also contracting with other vendors around the region in an attempt to meet it.
“It’s a slow time of year for us,” Chapman said, so Textile was well-positioned to pitch in. Still, the office and sales staff had to be pressed into service to help the screenprinting team get that many shirts processed in time.
“It took everything we could to get everything done,” he said. “You’re really against a clock to get them done as fast as possible.”
With the exception of a couple of short breaks and a middle-of-the-night lunch, the team worked nonstop. And members still had smiles on their faces as the sun rose in the morning.
Office manager Amy Hoff was getting her first experience at shrink-wrapping boxes full of shirts. Sandra Paola was charged with applying NFL stickers on the finished product — a league requirement.
Chapman said the company landed a contract to print NCAA national football championship shirts for the Oregon Ducks in 2010, but they lost to the Auburn Tigers in the title game. He said it printed conference championship T-shirts for the Portland Trail Blazers the year they went on to face the Detroit Pistons in a losing effort in the finals.
