Today in History Joseph McCarthy, an obscure Republican senator from Wisconsin, announces during a speech that he has in his hand a list of 205 communists who have infi ltrated the U.S. State Department. The unsubstantiated declaration, which was little more than a publicity stunt, suddenly thrust Senator McCarthy into the national spotlight.In early 1954, McCarthy, who had already lost the support of much of his party because of his bullying tactics, fi nally overreached himself when he took on the U.S. Army. The Senate voted to condemn him for misconduct in late 1954. — Feb. 9, 1950 By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes The Keizer Parks Advisory Board has set its tentative work- load for the next two to three years. Members of the board have been working with a subgroup of stakeholders to prioritize projects that are on the deferred maintenance list throughout Keizer’s 19 parks. “(The subgroup) rated the projects on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being those in the poor- est condition,” said Matt Law- yer, a member of the subgroup and the parks board. Lawyer presented the list of priorities to the rest of the board at its meet- ing Tuesday, Jan. 9. The top seven priorities were all in neighborhood parks with four ranked the worst of what Keizer has to offer. Up fi rst is replacing a play- ground and paths in Meadows park in north Keizer, the stake- holder group gave the current park amenities a “5.” City staff reached out to the neighbor- hood in December and about two dozen area residents turned out to talk about what they wanted to see happen in Mead- 3893 COMMERCIAL ST SE Food 4 Thought If you care enough to look right, you care enough to act right.

Between the playground and the paths, the work is expected to cost about $200,000. Replacing a small basketball court and resurfacing the north parking lot at Claggett Creek Park is second on the list with the court cost estimated to be $100,000 and the parking lot project expected to be about $30,000. A sports court at Northview Park was tagged for replacement as the third item on the list. The projected cost is $50,000. Re- pairing or replacing a multi-use court at Bob Newton Park, at a cost of about $10,000, is fourth in the line-up. Repairing the gazebo at Chalmer Jones Park, $10,000, and repairing paths at Willa- mette Manor Park and Coun- try Glen Park round out the list. The path repairs, along- side Americans with Disability Act upgrades, throughout the Keizer system will likely be put out to bid as a single project with a cost of approximately $150,000. The board also took in- put from residents during the meeting. Carol Doerfl er, a west Keiz- er resident, asked about repair- ing a sports court at Willamette Manor Park. The court had about 200 feet of cracks in it before it was resurfaced a few years ago and a few tears in the mesh laid over the old court are already beginning to appear.

When Lawyer presented the list to the Keizer City Coun- cil on Jan. 16, it met with some pushback from City Councilor Amy Ryan. “This list makes it look like we are in partnership with a paving business,” Ryan said. She also questioned where projects like lighting in some of the darker parks, like Bair Park, fell on the list. “The paths have a direct impact on accessibility and the sports courts are a signifi - cant issue,” responded Lawyer. “In terms of lighting, those are projects that are considered new and things we have to add to the master plan. In addition, the number one response on the parks survey was maintain- ing what we have.” Subway robbed at knifepoint According to police, a man entered the Subway in South Keizer on Monday displaying a knife and demanding money from an employee.
