MARCH 6, 2015, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A9 alongside silent and oral auc- tions, is the department’s larg- est annual fundraiser. Silent auctions begin at 5:30 p.m. The oral auctions will be part of the main show beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets, which include a bidding paddle, are $10. After spending the past several years building up Mc- Nary’s Studio M, where stu- dents can record and produce music and videos onsite, the theatre cameras will help cre- ate additional synergy. “A lot of the programs are still isolated right now. The closed circuit cameras can make us more collaborative,” said Todd Layton, digital arts instructor at the school. A lower-end three-cam- era system would be about $18,000. A higher-end cam- era system could include fi ve cameras with room to expand, but it comes with a price tag of about $50,000. Due to the cost, the department may squirrel away a good portion of the proceeds and purchase something more than the ba- sic package. • A trip to the Oregon coast. • A high-end electric uke- lele. • A Traeger grill. • A wine tour with a de- partment director. • A local getaway package. For those who can’t make the event themselves, Taylor invites them to make an ap- pointment with someone in the department for a tour of what is being offered. “During the last period today, I had six groups of stu- dents working on six differ- ent projects and most of them stayed after school to work without being asked. More than arts, we teach organiza- tion, follow-through and tak- ing pride in your work,” Tay- lor said. Donations to the Fine Arts Department can also be given at the McNary High School main offi ce at any time.The school is located at 595 Che- mawa Road N. Knight of Arts takes place there as well. obituaries Submit an obituary through our website at keizertimes.com or send an email to: editor@keizertimes.com Zana Fern Hales Cornforth Feb. 13, 1923 – March 1, 2015 Zana Fern Hales Cornforth was born in Hastings, Okla. on Feb. 13, 1923 and died March 1, 2015 in Keizer. Her family moved fre- quently during Zana’s child- hood before settling in Salem. Zana married Guy Cornforth on Aug. 6, 1947. Zana worked as a hair dress- er and then as a bookkeeper for Ladd & Bush Bank. After she and Guy started a family, Zana stayed at home to take care of her daughter Janet and son David.

Right now, we have to have four or fi ve people volunteer to come in and record things, which means we miss some events. We’d like to be able to docu- ment everything that happens in the theatre for historical purposes, but also to produce high-quality DVDs for sale to families and others in the community,” Taylor said. In addition to the larger purchase, the proceeds fund $5,000 in student scholarships; one $500 scholarship for each of the seven fi ne arts pursuits and an overall “grand prize” $1,500 scholarship. Each sec- tion of the department will also receive money for pet projects. Layton would like to replace the school’s vinyl cutter, music programs are looking to replace or upgrade some instruments, the visual arts will get more money for materials and the drama de- partment is hoping to pur- chase some LED lights. Big-ticket items up for auc- tion include: • A trip to Pints of Portland where the winning bidder will help create their own brew and then return with a party of 10 friends for its unveiling. They’ll also get a keg of their creation. • A landscaping package that includes 20 hours of la- bor, $150 in base materials and $500 for plants. • An exterior house-paint- ing package. Keizer’s new website close to going live By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes The City of Keizer’s new website should be up any day now. Or is that any week? As previously mentioned in the Keizertimes, Keizer City Councilors approved a con- tract last May to replace the city’s antiquated website. The anticipation at the time was the new site would be up and running by the end of 2014, but the old site from 2004 is still being used. John McKown, president of Evo Government Web- sites, confi rmed in December changes were made last fall to speed up the project, though there wasn’t a large-scale em- ployee turnover. “The project manager that we had on the project was re- placed because the project was not moving forward as fast as it should,” McKown said. “We are committed to giving Keizer the best possible result, and it was for this reason that we changed team members running the project. While this is obviously longer than we specifi ed in our proposal, we are confi dent that the new website will serve Keizer well and continue to offer value and performance for years to come.” On Feb. 27, McKown gave another update on the prog- ress. “The design work is com- pleted, the website is built, and the content has been migrated from the old site to the new site,” McKown said. “Training has been provided (to Keizer staff) and they are happy. It’s ready to launch this week coming up.” City Manager Chris Ep- pley, however, gave a different timeline. “The website is about ready to be populated with our date,” Eppley said on Feb. 27. “I’m guessing 30 to 60 days from going live.” Tim Wood, Keizer’s assis- tant controller who has been working on the project, gave a timeline closer to Eppley’s. “As of last Friday all of the existing content from the old website had been migrated to the new site,” Wood said on Tuesday. “The website project team has had an initial train- ing session on how to use the content management system and are in the process of re- viewing and reorganizing the existing content and creating new content as needed. “Once the website project team completes the review and reorganization process the site will be ready for the initial launch,” he added. “Realisti- cally we are a few weeks out from launching the site as we want to give adequate time to complete the internal review process.” No Job Too Big or Too Small • Additions & Repairs • Dry Rot Repairs • Flooring & Countertops • Roofi ng & Siding • Kitchens & Baths • Doors & Windows • Decks & Fences • Patio & Deck Covers Serving Keizer for Nearly 50 years!
