Men in Action for Keizer
(MAK), the Keizer Chamber
of Commerce’s volunteer
group of men, jumped into
action earlier this month
when they were called by
representatives of the Oregon
Department of Veteran Affairs
to help clear out the former
home of a veteran’s widow.
A small group of MAK
volunteers, led by Bob
Shackelford, were joined
by three Keizer Police
Department employees at
the manufactured home in
northeast Salem that was the
residence of Carmel Westover
for decades. Westover, in her
70s, had relocated to a foster
home earlier in the year.
The large, three-bedroom
home, was fi lled with the
artifacts of a life that Westover
shared with her husband
Marvin, a Korean War Naval
vet, who had passed away. The
clear-out team fi lled a large
trash container and a recycling
container, donated by Pacifi c
Sanitation Service. Items in
the home were divided into
categories: trash, recyclables,
personal documents and
things that will be sold.

members, was created several
years ago as a counter to the
chamber’s Keizer Network
of Women (KNOW), assists
in every way for those in
need—individuals, businesses,
civic projects and more.
Shackelford, a real estate
broker, leads the group, which
is constantly seeking projects
to which they can lend their
manpower.
Jordan Killian, property
manager for the Department
of Veteran Affairs (ODVA),
contacted Sgt. Lance Inman at
Keizer Police, who connected
him with Shackelford and
MAK.
Overseeing
the
project was Helen Ireland,
conservatorship manager with
ODVA.
Along with Shackelford,
the volunteers from Men in
Action for Keizer at the home
clean-up were Bob Parsons,
Clay Rushton and Joseph
Haggard. Joining Inman from
the police department were
Traci Moore and Jacki Wolfe.
School board talks McNary, McKay growth
By HERB SWETT
Of the Keizertimes
Preparing for further enroll-
ment growth is the object of a
series of Salem-Keizer School
District work sessions, the fi rst
of which was held Monday,
Dec. 19.
The session focused on se-
curity, safety, and expansion.
Participants were mostly dis-
trict administrators and staff-
ers, with Paul Kyllo the only
School Board member pres-
ent; director Chuck Lee had
to cancel plans to attend the
session.
Mary Paulson, district chief
of staff, reviewed the school
bonds from 1992 on. She noted
that the current bond of $242.1
million, which began in 2008,
includes four new schools but
not the career technical school.

Michael Wolfe, chief operat-
ing offi cer, showed a chart of
levy rates for the 2008 bond.
He pointed to a drop in the
rate for 2017 but showed that
there would be small increases
in the next few years.
Noting that projections are
not an exact science, Super-
intendent Christy Perry said,
“We tried to be middle-of-
the-road in setting goals.”
The meeting split into two
groups, one on safety and secu-
rity and the other on possibili-
ties for future buildings.
John Van Dreal, director of
safety and risk management,
discussed safety and security.
The objectives, he said are
based on the multidisciplinary
approach of CEPTED (crime
prevention through environ-
mental design).
CEPTED involves con-
struction of buildings so that
lookinc
back in
the KT
people are as visible as possible.
This means deterring potential
troublemakers by constructing
barriers, placing access points,
and allowing places for cam-
eras.
“Criminals don’t like to
work hard,” he noted.
Van Dreal said plans are to
have all district buildings se-
cured in those ways.
Wolfe, who led the other
group, discussed recommenda-
tions for portable classrooms,
including replacing 20-year
portables with 50-year ones.
He said one of the latter, which
would have two classrooms,
would cost $350,000.
Growth of the McNary
High School attendance area is
something Wolfe said will have
to be addressed. He raised the
possibility of having the atten-
dance area of a new or present
high school include part of
Keizer. He said the same is true
of the McKay High School at-
tendance area.
“If we do nothing,” Wolfe
said, “McKay will have 2,700
students by 2020.”
Succeeding meetings will
be held Jan. 12, 19, and 26.
Paulson said there is a possibil-
ity of a Feb. 9 session.
