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.

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...

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.
