There are roughly 150 pieces of combat paper in the display case, each of them is letterpress printed with a representation of the telegrams families in Oregon would have received when their loved ones died overseas. They read: “Dear Sir or Madam: Salem, Oregon Deeply regret to inform you that your son/brother/ husband/father is offi cially reported killed in action. Acting Adjt Genl” While the actual telegrams would have picked one of the four options Boulay chose for his project, he felt including all four in his representation added to the almost chilling tone of the impersonal messages. “One of the poets I read, Wilford Owen, was killed about a week before Armistice Day, which marked the end of the war. His mother received the telegram informing her of “They built into their forecast an expectation to get about a 7.5 percent return on investments every year. For the last several years, it's been nothing close to that. The last report I saw for this year had an expected return of about 4.8 percent,” Wood said. That leaves PERS employers, like the City of Keizer, to make up the difference. While the increases are hefty, Wood said they are not catastrophic. Keizer will fare better than other, older and/ KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald The death notice telegrams that are part of the exhibit are printed on combat paper, which is made from the uniforms of veterans who served in the Middle East and other confl icts. his death while church bells were ringing in celebration,” Boulay said. “Reading about that was where the inspiration for the telegrams came from.” The combat paper telegrams provide the base for a perennial rye grass growing under, over and around them. Even just a few weeks into the exhibit some of the paper is beginning to mold and rot and some grass is already dying as Boulay shuffl es pieces from the bottom to the top. The live grass requires constant reseeding and water. “The soldiers back then dealt with a lot of mold and water rot in the trenches which I think is fi tting for the exhibit,” Boulay said. “Even the glass display case feels a bit like a coffi n.” The constant witness is a fi eld camera taking photos at frequent intervals and capturing the progress, and decay. Eventually, Boulay will stop tending the grass and allow nature to take its course. After the exhibit ends Nov. 15, he plans to let the telegrams and grass turn to compost which he hopes to use to fertilize fl owers at a military cemetery. “I want it to speak to the cycle of war repeating itself from before WWI right up to the present day. Like the poem, I want to capture the duality of time. On one hand, it heals all wounds, but it also allows us to forget,” Boulay said. “I would like to scale it up somewhere and have a display for all 968 Oregon members of the armed forces who died in WWI, maybe all 117,000 Americans one day. But I want it to be interactive, a place where people can take part in the act of remembering or forgetting.” or larger cities with more employees on the rolls that are part of a pooled rate program. “We are outside that pool which means the city's demographics are looked at in isolation and our payments are adjusted based on those fi ndings,” Wood said. “But things like this are the driving factor behind not adding more police offi cers.” In some cases, PERS employees receive PERS benefi ts on top of Social Security and deferred payment programs equivalent to 401Ks. Keizer employees do not participate in Social Security benefi ts, they have 457 deferred payment accounts that are viewed as the equivalent. births • Ricardo Azael Centeno was born September 25, 2016 at Silverton Hospital.
