JANUARY 23, 2015, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE 13 EXIT, continued from Page 1 recalling his fi rst introduction to Christopher. Gaynor told several fi shing stories about Taylor, including a time when Taylor drew him a map of a river. “I get out there and noth- ing on the map was correct,” Gaynor said. “Then the wind picked up and the map got fl ipped over. I was looking at the mirror image and the map was right on the money.” Walsh was a little childish in talking about Christopher – in that he likened her to Horton in the Dr. Seuss children’s book Horton Hears a Who. “Keizer Station was my fi rst encounter after I joined the council,” Walsh said. “I see people with tar and pitchforks. Everyone hates the idea. Busi- nesses on River Road hate it, neighbors hate it. Who likes it? Lore said there are other voices, the silent people no one else hears. She was just like Horton, who can hear the specks of dust. Keizer was Lore’s Whoville... You have to pay attention to the Whoville residents, not just the ones that want to destroy the fl ower.” Walsh pointed to a way Christopher and Taylor – and councilors as a whole – are alike. “People don’t appreciate that Lore and the councilors don’t get paid to do it,” Walsh said. “They get praise but they also get badmouthed. They took the abuse but rose above it and stayed strong. Jim and Lore are both that way. It’s about what’s best for the community.” Taylor, who quoted Dal- las Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo during his fi nal council meeting, this time quoted an- other great philosopher – musi- cian Jerry Garcia. “What a long, strange trip it’s been,” Taylor said. Well-known for his love of fi shing as well as Oregon State University, Taylor put on a hat and mentioned how he’d been politically correct for 12 years. He then put the hat on back- wards. “Now, after 12 years, I don’t have to be politically correct,” Taylor said with a grin. “When the hat’s on backwards, I’m not politically correct.” As such, Taylor announced for the third time he’d like to be picked as the Republican nom- inee for vice president of the United States. He referenced 2008 candidate Sarah Palin – whom he described as looking “cute” with glasses on – and her infamous quote about being to see the “evil empire” of Russia from her porch in Alaska. “When I climb my roof and look south I can just about see the evil empire – Eugene,” Tay- lor said. Taylor fi gured he had a way to guarantee the vote in Keizer. “I make my promise: If I get to be vice president, I will bring the vice presidential library to Keizer,” Taylor joked. “To my friends I fi sh with, the U.S. Se- cret Service will give us two miles each way of space to fi sh by ourselves.” Taylor also noted Keizer’s leadership is in good hands. “The city will go on well without me and Lore,” he said. “Lore, you’re always going to be madam mayor.” Christopher’s son Evan paid homage to Taylor. “These were my heroes growing up,” Evan said of coun- cilors. “I have known Jim Taylor forever. When I was 10, it was Jim’s fault my mom got home at 11:30 p.m. I learned from Jim how to mow lawns. Jim is a character, to say the least.” Evan then talked about his mom. “Having my mom in this position reminded me that de- mocracy is very much alive in local government,” he said. “Public service very much means something. People are able to get something done and do right by their communities. It’s just rolling up your sleeves, working together and getting a job done because it’s the right thing to do and because you care about the people you’re doing it for. “She was a full-time em- ployee, she was a full-time may- or, she was a full-time mother,” Evan added later. “She is an incredible example and I am immensely proud to be related to her and to have learned so much from her. Thank you so much and I love you.” Appropriately, madam mayor Christopher got the last word. She thanked family members, including husband Ron. “My sweet, long suffering, dear and handsome husband,” she said. “Not one time did he say in 14 years, ‘I don’t want to go.’ He was always there to sup- port me...I love you Ron. You will get lucky later.” Christopher mentioned her son will be going to law school. “The pride is just beginning to grow, but I’ve always been proud of him,” she said. Christopher mentioned her mom, who passed away in 2011. “There wasn’t a tighter bond with my kids than with my mom,” she said. “All of those people put your mind at ease and give you confi dence so that you can go forth and help the people you’re sworn to serve.” Christopher then talked about her role in leading Keizer. “It’s been my joy to be the face of Keizer for 14 years,” she said. “None of us do any of this alone. It’s been a great time to be the mayor of Keizer. I love taking the credit, but it wasn’t me. I’m so proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish.” Christopher then revealed a story about Egli. “At the worst time in my life, Joe lifted me up,” she said. “My mom had just died of ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), and we had a renter who did $23,000 in damage to the house we owned. Joe came alongside and said if there’s anything I can do, I will. He said I will paint your house for you, inside and out. That was a gift of love like I’ve never received before. It shows that people who serve this city are real people.” KeizerTV keeps the city K-23 contract By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes KeizerTV is indeed getting money from the city. In an early October Keizer City Councilor meeting, Keiz- erTV leader Rex Robertson and David Dahle gave an update on their social media efforts. “We love you,” then-mayor Lore Christopher told Rob- ertson and Dahle that evening. “We’ll give you money.” Shortly after, city leaders were prepared to give KeizerTV more funding from Public, Educational or Governmental (PEG) funds until the Keizer- times raised questions about a lack of bidding for the services. City Manager Chris Eppley initially explained why the bid- ding wasn’t needed, but changed his mind after meeting with city attorney Shannon Johnson. “After discussing more closely with Shannon, we both think it’s borderline enough that we’re going to tell K-23 to nix the social media service un- til we can run the full RFP,” Ep- pley said. “We’re going to leave the budget adjustment in place so we have appropriate (funds) to cover this new service for whoever gets the K-23 con- tract. Thanks for questioning. We try to do things right here but obviously can miss asking ourselves the question if some- thing falls under the state bid- ding rules or not.” Two proposals ended up be- ing submitted and a recommen- dation was made to award the new public service TV contract to KeizerTV. The recommenda- tion was approved unanimously. KeizerTV has built and op- erated the city’s K23 channel over the last 13 years. KeizerTV employee Phillip Wade, an as- piring fi lmmaker, broadcasts city council and other meetings live on K23 and repeats them on a rotating basis. The KeizerTV bid was to do all services – including ex- panded social media work – for $8,000 a month, plus a rate of $45 per hour for additional work. The UCan2Media pro- posal, which called for up to $500 in internships for high school students as part of the project, had a bid of $8,750 a month. UCan2Media is jointly run by McNary High School teacher Jason Heimerdinger and Josh McMurrin, who formerly worked with Heimerdinger on K23 projects. The KeizerTV proposal was bolstered with references from former city councilors Joe Egli and Jerry McGee, as well as Keizertimes publisher Lyndon Zaitz, Vickie Hilgemann and JoAnne Beilke.
