The Marion County Sher-
iff ’s Offi ce is recruiting for its
Cadet Program. The program
introduces cadets to what it
takes to be a patrol deputy, pa-
role and probation deputy or
corrections deputy.
To join the Cadet Program,
a person must be between
14-and-a-half and 20 years
old, and they must be enrolled
full time in school with a 2.5
grade point average.
Individuals who are se-
lected will participate in an
interview process and must
pass a background investiga-
tion. Successful applicants will
begin an eight-week cadet
academy starting in January.
The classes will be held on
Sundays. Applications are due
Oct. 14 by 5 p.m.
Once trained, individuals
will ride along with deputies
on patrol, participate in com-
munity relations programs,
assist with traffi c control
and security, and learn more
about the professions asso-
ciated with the fi eld of law
enforcement. The cadets will
be expected to dedicate 20
hours of volunteer work each
month.

committee
member Pat Fisher was already
talking funding.
“It's going to involve an
investment and the city might
be able to go after state or
federal money,” she said.
Next on the list of priorities
is installing a bike repair rack
similar to one installed at the
Salem-Keizer Transit Center
at Keizer Station. The set-up
includes an air pump, several
tools, and even a repair manual
available by scanning a QR
code with a phone.
The
repair
station,
manufactured
by
Dero,
is designed for “simple
maintenance, such as changing
a tire, tightening a loose chain
or pumping air into a fl at,”
said Roxanne Rolls, program
coordinator for Cherriots Trip
Choice.
The Cherriots unit cost
about $1,200 according to
Fisher, who looked into the
possibility of installing more of
them.
Sangster initially envisioned
another repair station in the
vicinity of Keizer Civic Center
as a more central location
and a destination for those
using Carlson Skate Park, but
Maurice wanted to take more
time in deciding where to
locate it once the funds were
raised.
“ I would like to think about
an area where people bicycle in
the community,” Maurice said,

In addition to sorting out priorities for the coming months,
members of the Traffi c, Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee also
discussed:

The Traffi c, Bikeways and Pedestrian Committee is considering
adding a bike repair station to the city’s offerings. The one pic-
tured was installed at the Keizer Transit Center in May.
noting that Cherry Avenue
Northeast is frequented by
those commuting to and from
work in Salem. “If it's to fulfi ll a
need, it should be convenient.”
Sangster hoped to enlist
some of the area's cycling
groups to help cover the cost
of the unit.
Fisher championed the
third item on the priority list:
applying for a Safe Routes
to Schools grant that would
allow the city to study the
barriers preventing students
from walking to school, e.g.
lack of sidewalks, and how to
eliminate them. She hoped
to meet with Keizer's school
board representative, Chuck
Lee, to enlist his voice as the
project moves ahead.

• Concerns from a
resident of The Vineyards
neighborhood in north
Keizer about car traffi c
passing through intersec-
tions without pausing for
cross traffi c. Committee
members asked Keizer Po-
lice Department Sgt. Trevor
Wenning to fi nd out if there
were any traffi c-related in-
cidents in the vicinity.
Wenning did not know
of any off-hand, but also
suggested that residents
with a concern lodge it
through the city’s website
rather than taking it to the
committee or a city coun-
cilor fi rst.
“The reason being that
there will be a lag time go-
ing through the commit-
tee or city council, with a
report through the website,
we may be able to jump on
an issue within 24 hours,”
Wenning said.

Earlier this year, members of
the committee spearheaded an
effort to apply for a “Bicycle
Friendly” designation with the
League of American Bicyclists.
Sangster wants the group to
reach out to local businesses
to let them know about the
effort and get them to enlist
in Travel Oregon's Bike
Friendly Business Program.
Local businesses of all types

• A petition from resi-
dents in the 4000 block of
Verda Lane Northeast to
reduce speed limits on the
road between Dearborn
Avenue Northeast and the
Salem-Keizer
Parkway.
Wenning said that most of
the citations on Verda arise
between Lockhaven Drive
Northeast and Chemawa
Road Northeast, and not
because traffi c enforcement
offi cers have neglected the
south end.
Committee members re-
quested that a speed-mea-
suring device be deployed
in the area. Wenning said it
would not create much ad-
ditional work to do so.
provided they offer a modicum
of bike-friendly services.
“The benefi t to the
businesses is that they get
added to the statewide biking
map,” Sangster said.

Festival and a speed study of

the committee's priority list.
