Today in History
Terrorists attack the United States, hijacking domestic
airplanes that were crashed into both World Trade Center
towers in New York. A third plane was crashed into the
Pentagon in Washington D.C. Passengers on a fourth
hijacked plane took back control before it crashed into a
fi eld in Pennsylvania. Thousands of people were killed in
the attacks, starting America’s war on terrorism.

The Month Ahead
Friday, September 11
By CRAIG MURPHY
Of the Keizertimes
The main part of the Big
Toy project has been done.
After all, the large play
structure at Keizer Rapids
Park was constructed and
opened in June. A grand open-
ing dedication was held at the
structure on Aug. 29.
As mentioned last week in
the Keizertimes, the focus of
the Community Build Task
Force now is on raising mon-
ey towards a future poured-
in-place surface, which could
cost up to $175,000. CBTF
members are hoping grants
will cover most of that cost.
At their Sept. 1 meeting,
CBTF members agreed any
money coming in from here
on will go towards that phase
of the project, instead of the
main construction of the
structure itself.
That makes sense, since the
more than $100,000 original-
ly in the budget for the surface
was taken out earlier this year.
The lower fundraising target
of $319,000 was surpassed,
with some of those funding
details discussed during the
meeting as well.
Janet Carlson, who chaired
the fundraising arm of the
task force and has been track-
ing the numbers, noted some
items haven’t been paid for
yet, according to numbers as
of Sept. 1.
“There’s at least $29,500
that needs to still come in,”
Carlson said.
There are still some com-
ponents to sell, most notably
fence pickets that line the out-
side of the Big Toy, as there are
about 300 still to be sold.
“The extra money that
comes in for that is gravy or
frosting,” Carlson said.
Marlene Parsons brought
up the next query regarding
funding.
“Where do we draw the
line from what you just did
to starting new fundraising for
poured-in-place and whatever
else we’re doing?” Parsons
asked.
Carlson suggested every-
thing still to be paid for get
put into the old budget, with
new funding going towards
the poured-in-place surface.
“We’d start with zero,”
Carlson said. “You draw a line,
then have a new spreadsheet.”
Brandon Smith liked the
idea of a new spreadsheet.
“Documentation wise, it
makes sense to start at zero to-
morrow,” Smith said.
Figures from Carlson show
a total of $41,600 has been
brought in thus far for grants,
topped by $25,600 from
Keizer Rotary and $15,000
from the Oregon Community
Foundation.
Another sheet from Carl-
son detailed when donations
for the project came in from
individuals and businesses. Ac-
cording to the fi gures, by the
time the project was offi cially
launched in mid-November
2013, there had been one do-
nation for $100. A $250 dona-
tion came in shortly after the
launch event. Four donations
came in during 2014, meaning
by the end of 2014 there had
been a total of six donations
worth $2,171.
Larger donations start-
ing coming in January, led by
Richard Walsh (a member of
the CBTF) putting in $2,500.
Momentum started to pick
up in April and more than
$28,500 had been raised by
the end of May. The most do-
nations for the project came in
June, with a total of 16. By the
end of August, the total col-
lected in the category of indi-
vidual and business contribu-
tions was $54,712.20, with the
largest being $6,500 from the
Salem-Keizer Volcanoes on
Aug. 31.
