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.
