Today in History
Sesame Street, a pioneering TV show that would teach
generations of young children the alphabet and how to
count, made its broadcast debut. The brainchild of Joan
Ganz Cooney, the show went on to become the most widely
viewed children’s program in the world. It has aired in
more than 120 countries.

“Empathy is a tool for building people into groups,

Rotarians plant
arboretum at KRP
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
Members of Keizer Ro-
tary and a battalion of about
60 community and McNary
High School volunteers
planted a whopping 36 trees
at Keizer Rapids Parks in a
little less than an hour Satur-
day, Nov. 4.
The trees line a walking
path in the southwest area of
the park and will serve a dual
purpose, one for neighbors
and one for the city at large,
said Rotarian Mark Caillier.
“When they are full-
grown they will act as a sound
barrier for the neighbors, but
we also selected the trees
from the list of the city’s rec-
ommended trees. That means
when some one is looking
for a tree to put in their yard,
they can come down here
and be able to see what the
recommended trees are and
what they look like in per-
son,” Caillier said.
Placement of the trees was
also done with an eye toward
future growth and avoid-
ing becoming a nuisance to
neighbors.
“We didn’t want them
growing over fences or shad-
ing someone’s garden,” Cail-
lier said.
Eventually, a sign denot-
ing Rotary involvement and
housing pamphlets identi-
fying the trees will also be
installed. The Rotarians are
not fi nished planting either,
Caillier expects volunteers
to return in January to plant
another 40 trees from the list.
“This all started with a
call from the International
Rotary president for each lo-
cal club to plant one tree for
every member by Arbor Day
2018,” Caillier said.
In addition to planting
new trees, the crew removed
older ones and discovered
that many had grown root
balls that were unnatural to

bond at McNary
The Salem-Keizer Public
Schools Board of Education
has approved a bond measure
to be placed on the May 2018
ballot. Members of the com-
munity are encouraged to at-
tend the Bond Measure Lis-
tening and Learning Forum
that will be held at McNary
on Nov. 13 at 6 p.m.
The $620 million proposal
for the bond would be spent
alleviating overcapacity of
schools, facility improvements,
and expansions of career tech-
nical and vocational education
programs, as well as structural
and safety renovations.
If the bond is successful, it
will allow McNary High to
move forward with plans to
renovate their parking lay-
out—a move to address traf-
fi c and safety problems voiced
by the residents of the area
surrounding the school. The
bond would accompany a land
deal with St. Edward Catholic
Church to expand McNary’s
boundaries. The bond would
also enable McNary to in-
crease the space for Career
& Technical Education pro-
grams, general classrooms, and
science areas.
The dollar amount for
the bond is not yet fi nalized.
Forums will also be held at
Straub Middle School (for
West Salem schools) on Nov.
15; and McKay on Nov. 16.
the species, the result of poor
planting when they were
originally put in.
Wilbur Bluhm, Keizer’s
resident expert on things
green and leafy, directed the
planting this time around to
ensure healthier growth.
The project is being
funded by the Keizer Ro-
tary Foundation, a grant from
Rotary District 5100, and the
Keizer commits to
stake in homeless
coordinator position
The Keizer City Council
has unanimously approved an
agreement that makes Keizer
a stakeholder in establishing a
homeless program coordinator
position at the Mid-Willamette
Valley Council of Govern-
ments.
The new position will coor-
dinate private and public efforts
to combat homelessness. The
position is a result of a year’s
worth of meetings in 2016
examining the issues around
homelessness and charting a
path forward.
Keizer, along with Mon-
mouth and Independence, are
investing $5,000 each in the
sudoku
