Today in History
Brigham Young leads 148 Mormon pioneers into Utah’s
Valley of the Great Salt Lake. Young declared, “This
is the place,” and the pioneers began preparations for
the thousands of Mormon migrants who would follow.
Seeking religious and political freedom, the Mormons
began planning their great migration from the east after
the murder of Joseph Smith, the Christian sect’s founder
and fi rst leader.

By CRAIG MURPHY
Of the Keizertimes
Visitors to Keizer Rapids
Park last week may have no-
ticed the rather large mound
of sand by the area of the old
volleyball courts.
There were actually two
mounds: one with the old
sand and one with the new
sand for the three new courts.
Hans Schneider, who has a
long history locally with vol-
leyball programs, proposed
new courts at KRP last sum-
mer. Plans fi nally got approved
for matching grant program
funds from the Keizer Parks
and Recreation Advisory
Board last month.
With the funding, labor
and materials in place, the
project started last week.
Demolition of the old
courts started July 13, with
excavation for the new courts
– going side-by-side-by-side
– starting the next day. By the
end of the week, a sprinkler
system was being installed
all along the outside of the
courts.

KEIZERTIMES/Craig Murphy
A crew of volunteers help lay the foundation for three new
sand volleyball courts at Keizer Rapids Park. Hans Schneider
put the project together.
The project got some
praise during Monday’s Keiz-
er City Council meeting.
“It could be done this
week but it will probably be
next week,” Public Works di-
rector Bill Lawyer said. “It’s a
good project to be done.”
Councilor Roland Herrera
also praised Schneider.
“He got the right sand for
this,” Herrera said. “The pro-
cess has been amazing. One
guy’s vision has come to frui-
tion. It’s going to be exciting
stuff. It’s just another step for-
ward in our beautiful park.”
For Schneider, seeing the
project happen was indeed a
vision coming to fruition.
“This is a dream come true
for me, really,” he said. “I’ve
been wanting to do this for a
long time.”
Newspaper chalks up 19 awards
The Keizertimes won a to-
tal of 19 awards in contests for
journalism and advertising at
the annual convention of the
Oregon Newspaper Publish-
ers Association held at the
Salishan Resort near Lincoln
City last week.
The newspaper won 11
awards in the Better Newspa-
per contest including fi ve fi rst
place plaques. News Editor
Craig Murphy won for best
enterprise reporting for his se-
ries of articles about The Big
Toy at Keizer Rapids Park.
Associate Editor Eric How-
ald won fi rst place awards for
best writing, best lifestyle cov-
erage for a feature about Mc-
Nary High School’s unique
production of The Tempest,
best educational coverage
(about McNary choir director
Jim Taylor) and best feature
photo of a City Dance The-
atre performance.
Besides the fi ve fi rst place
fi nishes, the Keizertimes also
won three second place hon-
ors and three third place
awards.
In the Better Ad Ideas con-
test Andrew Jackson, produc-
tion manager for the Keiz-
ertimes, won three fi rst place
awards. He won for best series
of ads for Diagnostic Imaging
of Salem; best use of one color
for the McGinty and Belcher
law fi rm and best use of small
space for an ad for QuickLane
in Keizer.
The paper also won three
second place and two third
place honors.
“I am very proud of the
team at the Keizertimes,” said
publisher Lyndon Zaitz. “We
don’t do what we do to win
awards, but it is always nice to
be recognized by others in the
industry. All of the awards are
a validation of what and how
we cover the seven square
miles of Keizer.”
One of the greatest party
bands of all time is coming to
Keizer.
The Kingsmen, the band
that had such smash hits as
Louie, Louie and Money, will
make an appearance at the
Keizer Rotary Amphitheatre
in concert on Tuesday, Aug. 4.
Original band members
Mike Mitchell and Dick Pe-
terson will be joined by Steve
Peterson, Todd McPherson
and Dennis Mitchell. The
band was formed in Portland
in 1959. Their biggest song,
Louie, Louie held the num-
ber two spot on the Billboard
charts for six weeks in 1963.
They are also known for Mon-
ey/That’s What I Want.
The show starts at 6:30 p.m.
with an opening act followed
by The Kingsmen.
Tickets for the show are
$20 for adults and $10 for
children 14 and under. They
are available at Uptown Mu-
sic, 3827 River Road N., 503-

day or Friday of next week,”
Schneider estimated on July
17. “We have dune sand, 525
yards of it.”
Schneider said dune sand
doesn’t compact down like
river sand does, though the
old river sand will be used
as a base. Nets and lines will
be done in royal blue, to tie
the project to McNary High
School.
“I want high schoolers and
middle schoolers to come out
here and use these courts,” he
said. “I know they will come
down and use this. We have
had so many people come
by and look at it since we’ve
been out here.”
Those helping Schnei-
der had personal connec-
tions. Project contractor Kirk
Moisan’s wife is the principal
at Keizer Elementary, where
Schneider’s daughter works.
The Moisans have a daugh-
ter who used to be assistant
coach at MHS to Schneider’s
daughter. In addition, youth
helping with the project were
from a youth group that used
the old court in the past.
