Add your event by e-mailing news@keizertimes.com. Two Keizer residents have applied to fi ll a vacancy on the city council. Former city councilor Mark Caillier and one-time city council candidate Eamon Bish- op will present their cases to the sitting members of the council at 6 p.m. Aug. 1. The preferred candidate will be appointed at the city council meeting at 7 p.m. that same evening. Dennis Koho resigned from the coun- cil July 1 and set into motion the replacement process. Bishop or Caillier will serve out the remainder of his term and will need to run for re-election in November if they want to con- tinue in the role. Keizertimes sent both men the same three questions re- garding their interest in seat. Here are their replies: Keizertimes: What unique qualities/experience can you bring to bear as a city councilor? Eamon Bishop: The pin- nacle of my career was serving as a police commander, a posi- tion earned via my leadership abilities. Being a leader requires humility, the need to be a skilled educator, innate common sense and the courage to innovate. Leadership is not defi ned as be- ing an “expert.” As a command- er, I found that a good leader requires only a basic (yet solid) knowledge of the involved skill set, coupled with information on where to fi nd resources with detailed information if needed. In the same way, an elected leader is surrounded by staff members able to provide any specifi c information. Over the years I learned that communication is far more ef- what I believe I was able to do fective if properly condensed in order to provide facts and in- and simplifi ed.

Topping the list was a Sweepstakes Award presented for “receiving the highest over- all rating for a weekly newspa- per.” In other words, Keizertimes accumulated more points for awards than any other paper of its circulation size in Oregon. First place awards included: best enterprise reporting and best lifestyle coverage for edi- tors Craig Murphy and Eric A. Howald for the Chasing Dark series, which looked at issues surrounding opioid addic- tion in Keizer; best photo es- looking back in the KT say (Murphy, Howald, Andrew Jackson and Dee Moore) for the Iris Festival Review in Pic- tures; best writing, best head- line writing and best feature photo awards for Howald. Second place awards went to: Jackson, Keizertimes’ pro- duction manager, for best graphics; Murphy and Jack- son for best page one design; Publisher Lyndon Zaitz for best editorial; Murphy for best coverage of business and eco- nomic development issues, best enterprise reporting and best feature story; and Howald for best photo essay. Third place awards were pre- sented to: Howald for best edu- cational coverage, best sports story and best multimedia el- ement; and Murphy for best headline writing. “Community journalism is very much alive,” said Zaitz. “The excellent team at the Keizertimes proves that week in and week out as they cover and report what’s happening in the seven square miles that is Keiz- er. I couldn’t be prouder of our team; all the awards were very well deserved.” entertainment available to them at home thanks to the internet and gaming. This spawns a sense of content, meaning that there is less interest in providing effort to improve our city. As regards spirit, the increase of membership in neighbor- hood associations is a positive sign, as are internet sites which increase inter-neighborhood communication. To pride, I have to say that a good deal of the sentiment is the responsibility of the city of Keizer itself. Are we proud of the condition of the southern end of Keizer? Is the spending of city dollars disparate when it comes to geographic location? From the outside looking in, this appears to be the case. If this is not the case, then what can we do as a City government and as citizens of Keizer as a whole to make our entire town have an appealing atmosphere? I believe that there are far more ways to improve southern Keizer that are simply being ignored. MC: As children we grew up being a part of commu- nity volunteerism where the spirit of doing things together and for others created positive outcomes like activities and fa- cilities for children and families. We did not expect “someone else” to do it for us. We partici- pated together for a variety of reasons but we all were pulling in the same direction (perhaps in different ways on occasion) with the greater good for the community the priority. That is what drew Kris and I to Keiz- er in 1975, brought us back in 1990 and attracted my sister to move here in 2015. The City of Keizer and the many orga- nizations and groups within our community provide us an opportunity to participate at almost any level. The health of where we live is directly related to the level of community par- ticipation demonstrated by each of us. I choose to participate to support my community and continue my personal growth and learning. local weather National Night Out Aug. 2 The 33rd annual National Night Out is slated Tuesday, Aug. 2, from 6 to 9 p.m. Registration for National Night Out 2016 is available on the KPD website at www. keizer.org/Police/.
