Today in History
In Dayton, Tennessee, the so-called “Monkey Trial” begins
with John Thomas Scopes, a young high school science
teacher, accused of teaching evolution in violation of a
Tennessee state law that prohibited teaching “any theory
that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as
taught by the Bible.” It was one of the most famous trials
in U.S. history.

Of the Keizertimes
Work on the Big Toy proj-
ect is almost done.
But since it’s not, the Com-
munity Build Task Force
(CBTF) had one last meeting
in its current form.
A smaller work group will
continue to meet for the next
year, likely on the fi rst Tuesday
each month as the CBTF did
for more than two years.
CBTF chair Marlene Par-
sons will continue to oversee
the smaller group, which will
retain members Ron Freeman,
David Louden and Brandon
Smith plus roll in fundraising
committee members Richard
Walsh, Lore Christopher and
Janet Carlson.
The main goal at Tuesday’s
meeting was to fi nalize details
related to the offi cial dedica-
tion and grand opening of the
play structure at Keizer Rap-
ids Park, which was built last
month by hundreds of volun-
teers. The offi cial dedication is
set for Aug. 29, tentatively set
for 2 to 5 p.m. Speakers could
potentially include Governor
Kate Brown and U.S. Con-
gressman Kurt Schrader, as
Christopher is working to se-
cure that.
Much of the discussion
dealt with what kind of sig-
nage to put on a kiosk to rec-
ognize project sponsors and
volunteers. The kiosk will be
four-sided, with dimensions of
4 feet by 4 feet. There will also
be plaques to recognize spon-
sors who paid for individual
components, with the plaques
going on or near the compo-
nents.
“We want to get the kiosk
built, but we need informa-
tion to put on there,” Parsons
said. “We want to make sure
we fulfi ll the promise to spon-
sors, but we also don’t want to
overwhelm the thing.”
Project general coordinator
Mark Caillier said Sign Craft-
ers will be doing work on the
signs for free. However, he
and Public Works director Bill
Lawyer both emphasized the
need to get information for
signs fi gured out as quickly as
possible in order for things to
be ready by late August.
“The sign work needs to be
done by August 1 to get signs
printed, designed, all of that,”
Lawyer said. “Sign Crafters
has been great, but we need
to give them time to get (the
signs) in their schedule.”
That led to some concern
for Walsh, since the fundrais-
ing committee wasn’t sched-

answer while looking at a list of Big Toy sponsors during the
Community Build Task Force meeting on July 7.
uled to tackle that subject un-
til next month.
“We were going to have
one more meeting where we
would get the fi nal numbers
from Bill, focus on defi cits and
things like that,” Walsh said. “I
thought our meeting would
be the fi rst week of August.”
Lawyer noted confusion
about seemingly different dis-
cussions and again emphasized
signs would have to be sub-
mitted by Aug. 1 in order to
be done on time.
The fundraising committee
will meet sometime in July,
with one task being to fi nal-
ize the list of donors and to
make sure donation levels are
accurate.
“We need to go over this
list,” Parsons said. “For exam-
ple, the City of Keizer is a dia-
mond sponsor, but is not even
on the list. We need fundrais-
ing to go over the entire list,
to make sure we are correct.”
Parsons had suggestions
about what to put on the sides
of the kiosk.
“One idea is to list the
donors,” she said. “Two, we
can also honor the task force
members and the 15 con-
struction captains that worked
out there each day. That’s a
big piece of the project right
there.”
Lawyer suggested one side
of the kiosk could be a list of
rules such as no pets, food or
drink on the play structure,
which offi cially opened for
usage June 20. Caillier sug-
gested one side could have
a bulletin board or a picture
collage. Parsons liked that idea
and suggested the history of
the project could be listed.
Caillier said he will be
building the kiosk on or about
July 18.
Just when it seemed discus-
sion was over, Christopher en-
tered the room and noted she
had been selling sponsorships
with a promise of more rec-
ognition.
“Why can’t we do what we
promised?” Christopher asked.
Parsons responded, “We’re
looking at something that fi ts
with the toy.”
Christopher wanted to
make sure sponsors were
properly recognized by dona-
tion amount.
“We put our word on the
line,” she said. “As long as we
can put the sponsors on there
that’s fi ne.”
Parsons noted other recog-
nition would have to be done
as well, dating back to the
November 2013 Design Day
early in the project.
“We made a promise to
the people in the community
that night they would be on a
sign as well,” Parsons said. “We
promised to the elementary
school children we would put
up a blurb that they designed
it, though not individual
names.”
Parsons noted since she is
now retired, she will e-mail
donors a picture of what their
sign will look like.
Discussion then continued
at length about sign recogni-
tion and how to convert in-
kind labor to dollar amounts
until Smith had had enough.
“I think we’ve gone way
too far on this,” he said. “The
recognition discussion has
gone too far. People who
came out wanted to build it
for their community. They
didn’t want their hours listed.
No one here cares about the
quantity of hours or the dol-
lar amount. We’re recogniz-
ing people who came out.
Valuing that has gone way off
base...Everyone will say, ‘I was
one of those 700 people’ and
that will be good enough for
them.”
