Lemonade Day
is back this
Sunday, May 3
Lemonade Day is returning
to Salem/Keizer this Sunday,
May 3.
The event was held locally
for the first time last year and
promptly broke national re-
cords.
More than 1,000 children
were able to experience suc-
cess by selling a combined
total of more than $30,000 in
lemonade in four hours.
Based on that success, the
program has spread to Port-
land and Eugene this year.
The idea of Lemonade Day
is to teach youth how to start,
own and operate their own
business, a lemonade stand.
Stands were all over the area
last year; for more information

locations, visit http://salem-

“Those two are signifi-
cant to the community,” Price
agreed. “But they are inappro-
priate in a memorial. Those
two panels could be placed
anywhere in this community.”
Jill Bonney-Hill, KPIC
chair, suggested Ryan Hill
would be fine with the kiosks
being left as is.
“I think Ryan would like
it,” Bonney-Hill said. “This
is the city he was raised in.
Marie and the Japanese are
also about Keizer and where
we came from. Ryan is a part
of that. I think he would feel
blessed to be part of that.”
Councilor Roland Herrera,
liaison to KPIC, talked about
the balance.
“Everyone is trying to do
the right thing,” Herrera said.
“I could see (the kiosk) being
moved to a more visible place.
We need to look at all the op-
tions. A lot of work was put
in by the group previously. It
bugs me to hear it called in-
appropriate. I think a memo-
rial would be a good thing to
do, but we have to be sensi-
tive about how we do it. We’re
trying to work out what’s the
right thing to do without
dishonoring anyone. Marie
and the Japanese have a lot of
meaning to this town.”
Price offered to buy the
first tree if it’s decided trees
will be added to create a sepa-
rate, solemn area for reflection
in the park. He also suggested
having a memorial to the 138
Oregon soldiers lost in con-
flict since 9/11.
After Price left, discussion
continued.
“I don’t see why they can’t
be all in the same place,” Gott-
fried said. “It would be differ-
ent if this (kiosk) came in after
the memorial went into ef-
fect. I don’t have an issue with
them being together.”
Bonney-Hill nodded in
agreement.
“I don’t have a problem, ei-
ther,” she said.
Erica Hedberg opined it
wouldn’t be appropriate to
move a kiosk that was already
there before the park was re-
dedicated to honor Hill.
“I don’t think that’s some-
thing we want to say,” Hed-
berg said.
Bill Lawyer, Public Works
director for Keizer, said the
meeting was the first he’d
heard some details.
“When (the park naming)
took place, there was no dis-
cussion at the Parks Board or
council level about it becom-
ing a memorial park,” Lawyer
said. “That was not ever in-
tended to become a memorial
park for memorializing peo-
ple, or at least that was never
voiced. This is the first time
I’ve heard (Price) clearly state
the post-9/11 memorial.”
Lawyer pointed out Hill is
the first Keizer resident to die
while serving in active duty.
“There is nothing at the
park itself that denotes that,”
Lawyer said. “It was men-
tioned during the dedication
ceremony, but there’s nothing
at the park.”
KPIC member Anita Zahn-
iser suggested a plaque with
that information be dedicated.
Following
discussion,
KPIC members unanimously
approved a motion recom-
mending to the city council
KPIC wants the kiosk to stay
unchanged but is okay with
discussing additional recogni-
tion.
