Today in History Amid much public excitement, American explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark return to St. Louis, Missouri, from the fi rst recorded overland journey from the Mississippi River to the Pacifi c coast and back. The Lewis and Clark Expedition had set off more than two years before to explore the territory of the Louisiana Purchase. Sept. 23, 1806 Food 4 Thought “Kids should be allowed to break stuff more often. That’s a consequence of exploration. Exploration is what you do when you don’t know what you’re doing.” —Neil deGrasse Tyson The Month Ahead Friday, September 23 By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes When Anita Zahniser volunteered for the Keizer Points of Interest Committee, she hadn’t even heard of the Keizer Oral History Project, but she became the driving force behind it for the last year and a half. In more ways than one, Zahniser has molded the Oral History Project into some- thing different than what she inherited. In early episodes, most of which are available to view on keizertv.com, the time was dedicated to cap- turing stories from the city founders and their memories of establishing Keizer as its own city. After taking on the role as host and interviewer, Zahnis- er turned the camera’s atten- tion to what came before that time period and the people who weren’t civic leaders. She talked with city founder Jerry McGee “in disguise” as Thomas Dove Keizur, she interviewed a number of the earliest students to attend the fi rst Keizer school and then started talking with residents of Avamere Court about their experiences living in the area for extended periods of time. The next one to be released is an interview with Joy Beebe, who moved to the area from England as a war bride after World War II. Her fi nal in- terview, for now, is with Lynn Woolfe whose dad built a fall- out shelter during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Despite all that, she thinks Submitted Anita Zahniser speaks with Marilyn Willeford as part of her work with the Keizer Oral History Project. Zahniser is stepping away from her role to tend to family, but she’s willing to mentor her successor. she’s barely scratched the sur- face. “I would like to see Keizerites in their later years sharing their stories about times when they were chil- dren, what it was like raising a family or even what their life is like now in retirement. The story goes on and it’s fascinat- ing because it feels like it’s all connected,” Zahniser said. Her vision for the proj- ect was to present the Keizer Oral History Project at local senior care facilities where she hoped potential inter- viewees would step forward. She had already made a few steps in that direction. She presented at a few local facili- ties and she’d even gone as far as doing trial runs during the presentation. “I would invite some of the residents up and we would pass a microphone around. The goal was just to get them comfortable with the idea,” she said. Zahniser had little experi- ence interviewing someone when she started, but she found her own way. She read books that her interview sub- jects had written, looked over photographs with them and then presented interviewees with a list of questions and an invitation to remove the ones they didn’t like and add a top- ics they wished to share. “I probably did more than I needed to, but anyone inter- ested in participating in the project would choose their own methods of prepping for the interviews,” she said.

Saturday, September 24 – Sunday, September 25 While she wants to see the project continue, Zahniser has become an advocate for preserving family stories apart from the Keizer Oral History Project. “Going through the pro- cess of preserving family his- tory can bring up unresolved issues and chances for recon- ciliation. It’s not always pos- sible to come to peace with someone else, but if we can make peace within ourselves, that’s a big step,” Zahniser said.

KEIZERTIMES/ Eric A. Howald looking back in the KT 5 YEARS AGO Howling for the wolf Activists from the PDX Animal Defense League came to the Keizer area Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife headquarters. Stephanie Taylor locked herself to the agency’s door’s with a bicycle lock to decry the planned killing of two wolves after attacks on livestock in eastern Oregon. She was later arrested. 10 YEARS AGO KPD driver’s course draws fi re for catering to Spanish speakers A Spanish-language driver’s education course offered by the Keizer Police Department drew fi re earlier from listeners of the Lars Larson radio show.
