Mural timeline still undecided By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes For months, this summer or early fall has been targeted as the time for Keizer’s second public mural to be done. That could be changing, though it’s not certain yet. Lore Christopher and Jill Hagen, both members of the Keizer Public Arts Commis- sion (KPAC), announced plans in February to put a mural on the north wall at Town and Country Lanes. Not long af- ter, Christopher said the mural would be done in September. The design of the mural has undergone revisions. What was originally announced as the design was later amended to be a proposed design. The design is now envisioned by KPAC members to be scenes from the Iris Festival Parade. At Tuesday’s KPAC meet- ing, the timeline got potential revisions as well. Keizer City Councilor Amy Ripp will be working with KPAC member Rick Day to get the wall – es- timated to be 140 feet long and nine feet tall – ready “in the next 30 days” with gray primer and the wording “Ev- eryone loves a …?” in large letters. Mardi Smith, general man- ager at Town and Country, had artist Michelle Rothar- mel with her, who has done large murals before and will be helping on this one. Another artist in the room, Wendy Lusby, questioned at one point when the project would be done. “As an artist, I’m really confused by some of the time frames being thrown out,” said Lusby, a children’s artist from Dallas. “My vision is we paint the wall (with primer) and get it ready, then we don’t do (the mural) until the spring,” Ha- gen said. “I really want to wait until the spring.” That surprised fellow KPAC members. KEIZERTIMES fi le/Craig Murphy (From left) Jill Hagen and Lore Christopher discuss the idea of a mural on the north wall of Town and Country Lanes with the bowling alley’s owner, Don Lebold, back in February. The fi nal design and possibly the timeline are still in fl ux following a meeting this week. “I thought we were doing it in September?” Beth Me- lendy queried. Christopher also ques- tioned the timing. “You really want to wait until the spring?” Christopher asked. Given the scope of the project, which in its current guise would have between six and 10 pictures up to 20 feet wide each, Lusby said Hagen’s timing made more sense. “I don’t know how we will have time to do it in Septem- ber,” Lusby said. Christopher noted when the usual wet weather hits. “We can’t do it later than the end of October, otherwise we’ll have to wait until next summer,” she said. Smith noted her parking Library seeks to fi ll volunteer manager job The Keizer Community Library is seeking a volunteer manager to oversee daily li- brary operations. The manager works closely with the board of directors and the Library Committee. The board is seeking ap- plicants with proven organi- zational skills who is able to set priorities within the op- erations of the all-volunteer library. Applicants must be com- puter literate; though knowl- edge of library systems is de- sirable it is not essential. The board asks interested persons to apply in person at the library in the Keizer Heri- tage Center at 980 Chemawa Road N.E. or email books. keizerlilbrary@gmail to re- quest an application. The deadline to apply is July 15. lot is often full September through May in the evenings with league bowlers. “We have it every day,” Smith said. “It would behoove us to do it in the summer dur- ing the day, before September.” Christopher suggested a compromise: getting some of the background building and crowd scenes done this fall. “Then we leave it and do the pieces that will take so long next summer,” she said. Hagen agreed and noted the time it took for Colleen Chronister-Goodwin to do the Valley Treasures mural at Keizer Florist last summer. “I think it took Colleen two weeks, with one thing,” Hagen said. “We’re talking nine of those.” Regardless of the timing, Lusby is eager to help out. “I am very excited about being involved in it,” she said. “I’m just having a hard time thinking how the big frames will happen.” KPAC members agreed with a request from Smith to honor Town and Country owner Don Lebold. “I would like to do a trib- ute to Don, an avid fi sher- man,” Smith said. “It would be cool to be the last fl oat in this, with Don casting off into the end of the mural. We’d get the river in that way. It would be great for Don.” A Town and Country fl oat would be one of the pictures depicted, with Lebold cast- ing towards River Road on the west end of the mural. KPAC members will be go- ing through 400 parade im- ages to select between six and nine additional images to be painted on the wall. Sugges- tions have included the Mc- Nary High School band, the pet parade and the old Keizer Fire District fi re truck. “We would like to pick a lot of images, but it will be too busy,” Christopher said. “If we could cut it down to like sev- en images and (the Town and Country fl oat) be the seventh, that would work. The plan is to pick out six images you think we should include. By the time we come back, we will vote on the images.” Hagen amended that by asking KPAC members to se- lect their top nine images. At the end of the meeting, Christopher clarifi ed the tim- ing at this point. “The wall will be prepared and primered soon, as well as lettered,” she said. “We’re still on the original timeline for right now.” local weather sudoku Tuesday, July 7 Keizer Economic Development Commission meeting, noon at Keizer Civic Center.
