PAGE A10, KEIZERTIMES, FEBRUARY 6, 2015 DOG: ‘You should have heard the screams.’ BIG TOY, continued from Page A1 “I have some ideas for scheduled posts for Face- book,” Christopher said. “We don’t have to do it every day, but I will have something up at least once a week. I will pri- vately push it out to people as well. It just takes time and effort. I have a stream of con- sciousness, what I’d like to do over the next fi ve months and things we can roll out.” Richard Walsh, co-chair of the project’s fundraising committee, noted the various committees overlap some- what. “The thing we ran into with fundraising is a lot of it feels like public outreach,” Walsh said. “We have set up meetings with every neigh- borhood association in the Salem and Keizer area and al- most every Rotary club. That list is overwhelming with only four people on fundraising. We need to think of it as ev- eryone’s mission. It’s just too big. “What we need to get to is the local churches,” he added. “We need to get them signed up. All of these things are in- (Continued from page A1) Submitted Efforts are being made to ramp up public relations surrounding the Big Toy project. termixed. We need to make the pitch for everyone. We’ve done all the groundwork, so we’re all ready to go. We need to all be thinking about going out, not just the four of us on fundraising.” Caillier agrees word of the project needs to be pushed out more. “With public relations, we haven’t done some of the real basic stuff,” he said. “We need to be on the Keizer Chamber calendar, on K23, in fl yers at grocery stores. We need to do some real basic stuff. I came away (from last week’s meet- ing) with the idea they have a solid handle on what we need to do. We need to get volun- teers to help do it.” For good measure, Caillier made a joking reference to the controversial call at the end of Sunday’s Super Bowl. “We don’t want to get to the half yard line and throw an interception instead of run- ning it in for a touchdown,” Caillier joked. “We need to make the right play calls. We need to take what Richard said to heart. We need to do all the jobs and leverage all the friends.” Also discussed on Tuesday was the idea of doing a video to publicize the project, as well as translating information to Spanish and getting basic in- formation onto business cards that can be distributed easily. Quinn also implored ev- eryone to share pamphlets and project posters with three friends each, in an effort to spread the word about the play structure, which is sched- uled to be constructed by community volunteers over a fi ve-day period. Strean said he and Alex Es- trada approached the pit bull from opposite directions in an attempt to grab it and save the maltese. “I was desperate to fi nd something big to hit him with,” Strean said. “I broke some bamboo poles over his head, but it didn’t phase him. He moved around the yard with the other dog in his mouth.” Strean said the little dog somehow got away. “I called 9-1-1 and we were trying to hold the dog in the backyard until the police came, but this dog got away,” Strean said. Strean said the Maltese had to be put down the next day due to the injuries, while Lim had injuries to her face and 17 stitches on her arm due to the pit bull biting clean through. In addition, the pit bull bit clear through Estrada’s thumb. Three offi cers with the Keizer Police Department re- sponded and looked for the pit bull, but were unable to fi nd it. According to offi cer An- drew Phelps’ report, Estrada noted a brown bulldog was running along with the pit bull, but did not attack anyone or get aggressive. The report noted both dogs were seen running south into a fi eld. Offi cers contacted a farmer in the fi eld on a tractor, who reported seeing two dogs run south out of his fi eld and a short time later saw a man in a silver Subaru looking for the dogs. According to the report, there were no additional calls about the pit bull the rest of the day and no further action is being taken due to no leads. Jeff Kuhns, deputy police chief with the KPD, has advice for dog owners. “They should know that it’s a violation to allow a dog to run at large such as the two dogs that were said to be run- ning at large when this inci- dent occurred,” Kuhns said. Those with information can contact the KPD at 503- 390-3713. Strean said the sights and sounds from last weekend will be hard to forget. “You should have heard the screams (by Lim),” he said. “It was horrible. It was ugly.” Strean emphasized he’s a dog lover who has had dogs most of his life and is currently looking to adopt one. “I want this dog caught and found so (it’s owner) can be found responsible,” Strean said. “You have expensive doctor bills, plus this lady lost her little dog. I think the guy’s got some explaining to do. This dog has to be euthanized. If that was my dog, I would say that needs to be done. This dog was crazy and will do it again if it gets a chance. I want to do everything I can to fi nd the dog so the owner will be held responsible. If they don’t catch this dog, very likely this will happen again.” Business&Services APPLIANCES ATTORNEY Nigel Guisinger • • • New Owner Estate Planning Elder Law Probate Social Security Attorneys at Law 503-304-4886 Experienced Knowledgeable Friendly • Personal Injuries Worker’s Compensation Personal Injury • Auto Accidents 3800 River Rd N in Keizer 503-390-0161 ATTORNEY Walsh & Associates Jean M.
