red wine because that's what
they would have had in the
trenches of WWI, but the
paper literally has the blood,
sweat and tears of soldiers who
served,” Boulay said.
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/

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.
