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.

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-

Parks Supervisor Robert
Johnson said the Meadows play
structure is among the oldest in
the city.
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.
Johnson said about 10 per-
cent of what was repaired is

be to replace the whole court.

was shorter than the standard

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.”
