Food 4 Thought
“I think we too often make choices based on the safety of
cynicism, and what we’re lead to is a life not fully lived.
Cynicism is fear, and it’s worse than fear - it’s active
disengagement.”
— Ken Burns, documentary fi lmmaker,
born July 29, 1953

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

Keizertimes ‘sweeps’ journalism awards
The staff of the Keizertimes
was honored with 18 awards at
the annual Oregon Newspaper
Publishers Association’s Bet-
ter Newspaper Contest annual
convention Thursday, July 21.
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.
