MAY 8, 2015, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A3 A bright Lemonade Day KEIZERTIMES/Lyndon A. Zaitz Audrey Fleck sells lemonade on May 3. Go to the Keizertimes Facebook page for more photos. Unlike last year, Lemonade Day 2015 was a warm, sunny day—perfect for the sweet tart- ness of various recipes concoct- ed by the young entrepreneurs. Lemonade Day, a nation- al organization that teaches grade- and middle-school stu- dents about business, is held in more than 100 cities around the country. Last year, Keizer and Salem were the only Oregon cities involved; this year state director Chip Conrad of Salem added Portland and Eugene. Participants, some as young as 6- and 7-years-old, create a business plan for their individu- al lemonade stands—everything from the look of the stand, cre- ating a recipe or two for lemon- ade, purchasing the ingredients and deciding how to divide their revenues. Lemonade Day calls for the kids to save a third of their sales for their education, save a third for mad money and donate a third to their favorite charity. Last Sunday, thirsty Keizeri- tes could fi nd a stand nearby, from the south end of town to Volcanoes Stadium. Audrey Fleck of Audrey’s Lemonade was set up in the parking lot of Town and Coun- try Lanes, taking advantage of traffi c on River Road and bowlers. Max and Micah Rade, 9-year-old twins, called their stand Twin Time Lemonade. Two competing stands were set up in the parking lot of Doneth Wealth Management on Che- mawa Road. L & M Brothers (Logan Hill, 8, and Max Wilch, 9) took to the task seriously—they squeezed 30 pounds of lemons. Just feet away was Hawaiian Lemonade, operated by Josiah Hill and Brennan Parker, who created a unique recipe of lemonade, pineapple juice, apricot juice and ginger ale for a tropic fl avor. Zaelee Nuttbrock set up her colorful stand, Lemonade Planet, in front of Keizer Mar- tial Arts at the corner of River Road and Dearborn Avenue. She sold 45 cups of lemonade which she called Mars Blast Off, made with strawberry pu- ree. Nuttbrock netted $88 and an additional $51.48 in tips. The 11-year-old Keizer Elementary fi fth grader will donate a third of her proceeds to Children’s Middle East Field Forum. She will also save money for a ka- raoke machine and a third of the money will help pay for at- tendance to a horse camp this summer. have years of experience in EXPERIENCE We design, carpentry, and engineering. won’t stop until the job is PROFESSIONALISM We fi nished and you are content. long list of satisfi ed TRUSTWORTHINESS Our clients attest to our ability to get the job done right. 503.393.2875 remodelkeizer.com CCB#155626 Palma Ciea Park sale discussed By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes Keizer could be losing one of its parks. The idea of the city pos- sibly selling Palma Ciea Park was brought up at the most recent Keizer Parks and Rec- reation Advisory Board meet- ing. From the start, it was clear board members didn’t have warm feelings toward the park, which is located at 900 Cummings Lane North by the Willamette River. “I don’t care for that park, to be honest,” Parks Board member Dylan Juran said. “But if we get rid of a park, getting it back is very expen- sive. Selling a park sounds re- ally scary to me.” William Criteser pointed out the park’s negatives. “The park is questionable in accessibility,” Criteser said. “It’s not on any agenda to im- prove. It’s not accessible to the river. There are so many nega- tives, we ought to put it up to sell to adjacent landowners.” David Louden, chair of the Parks Board, echoed Criteser. “I’d say go to the highest bidder,” Louden said. Richard Walsh suggested a step before selling. “I’m not sure about sell- ing,” Walsh said. “It’s sad about losing land. But on the other hand, that park is more of a liability. It’s hard to imagine a scenario in which it becomes more of an asset. If we can only get $10,000 for it, then no sale. If we can get $1 mil- lion, yahoo. We should make a motion to get it appraised, then make a decision after seeing the results.” In the end, the Parks Board unanimously improved a mo- tion calling for the Keizer City Council to have the property appraised. Clint Holland agreed with others the park is more a li- ability than an asset. “I’m favor of (selling) be- cause we could use that mon- ey so badly for other parks,” Holland said. Bill Lawyer, Public Works director for Keizer, asked if Parks Board members want- ed to recommend how to use funds if a sale was indeed made. “You could say the funds are for operations or improve- ments,” Lawyer said. Criteser suggested waiting on that part. “Once it’s appraised, then It’s never too early... Les Layton was impressed with the early Mother’s Day chalk message he found on Marino Drive this week, done by a young neighbor. Submitted we can discuss allocation,” he said. Holland made a motion to put the property up for sale – subject to appraisal – and where the money should go. Walsh, however, felt that was too much. “Depending on the num- ber (from an appraisal), that determines if I’m willing to sell,” Walsh said. “It might be better to just say get an ap- praisal.” Juran agreed with Walsh. “I don’t want to commit to selling if the appraisal is not high enough,” Juran said. Robert Johnson, parks su- pervisor for Keizer, acknowl- edged the park isn’t often well maintained. “Maintenance is a hassle,” Johnson said. “There’s a 90 degree bend on the river right there. All the debris piles up, eight to 10 feet. The river has done what it wants to do right there. The upper area is not well manicured.” Holland noted ivy is grow- ing on the trees. “That’s one more reason to sell,” he said. obituaries Submit an obituary through our website at keizertimes.com or send an email to: editor@keizertimes.com Joyce Fish-Javor-Bolles Oct. 23, 1930 – April 27, 2015 Joyce Fish-Javor-Bolles, a resident of Keizer, died on April 27, 2015 in Keizer.
