HOWALD Of the Keizertimes A vision Hans Schneider once had for his backyard two decades ago is fi nally coming to fruition in Keizer Rapids Park. “I wanted to put in a sand volleyball court for our daughters, but my wife said, ‘No,” Schneider said. Fortunately, when Hans saw an opportunity to install new courts at Keizer Rapids Park in 2015, Vicki, his wife, put her full support behind it. The new courts gave birth to a sand volleyball youth club – offered at a fraction of the cost of comparable programs – and revealed additional needs. “We needed a place for the kids to cool down or get out of the rain,” Hans said. Earlier this year, he ap- proached the Keizer Parks and Recreation Board with a proposal to invest in a cov- ered shelter. He got approval and an $8,300 matching grant for the project. He hoped to have it installed over the sum- mer but hiccups in ordering and delivery kept delaying the effort. “At one point, it was go- ing to be delivered during the Eclipse Festival and that didn’t work so it got delayed another month,” Hans said. Once the shelter was on- site, Schneider and his accom- plices in the project, which included park neighbor Jerry Nuttbrock, discovered that putting the thing together was going to take more than they knew how to do. “It’s not exactly an erector By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes The Keizer Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is opening its doors to the entire com- munity Sunday, Dec. 10, for a free Christmas music program and a display of nativity scenes from around the world. “We look forward to people coming in celebrating the Christmas spirit alongside us,” said Dan Kohler, pub- lic affairs coordinator for the church and a member of the choir that will perform for at- tendees. The hour-long program will begin at 7 p.m. at the Keizer Stake located at 1375 Lockhaven Drive N.E. Fol- lowing the performances, members of the church and community will have a col- lection of about 75 nativity scenes from around the globe on display for viewing.

The music selection for the evening is all Christmas- themed and Kohler found res- onance in one piece in partic- ular, Shepherd Leave Thy Sheep, a tale of the shepherds who left their fl ocks to attend the birth of Christ. “So of- ten we have the oppor- tunity to do things that require us to leave our homes and places of comfort,” said Kohler. “Es- pecially now, we wonder if all the things we’ve chosen to take care of will be there when we return. The message of this one really hit home for me and reminded me that people had these concerns long before we did,” Kohler said. The music program will include soloists, group perfor- mances, instrumentalists, and Christmas messages from some of the church leaders. looking back in the KT done, the Schneiders will have invested well north of $10,000 in the shelter alone. “Vicki and I saw our par- ents giving back quite a bit and we are fortunate to be in a position where we can give back in the community and at St. Edward Church. Vicki also does a lot of volunteer- ing with cancer patients and also for Marion-Polk Food Share. This has been a goal of mine and she, fortunately, has supported me,” Hans said.

The new shelter had to be set on concrete footings be- fore laying another concrete pad that serves as the shelter’s permanent surface. With the help of a local contractor, the shelter was put up in about two days. Schneider and Nuttbrock, along with some additional help, were laying the permanent surface this week. While the new shelter will more than serve the needs of the courts and club, Schnei- der said he wanted it to be something more than that as well. “I wanted a place where the families could come and Free concert, nativity display at Keizer Stake Monday, December 11 Willamette Valley Women and Military League will hold its December luncheon meeting at the Illahe Country Club at 11:30 p.m. The Corban University Chamber Choir will provide entertainment.
