Of the Keizertimes
The Hop Jack’s in Keizer Station has
set its opening date for March 26.
Hops Jack’s serves a wide variety of
pub fare with a an emphasis on cold beer
and icy drinks, but the corporation be-
hind the food has a much bigger vision,
said Kevin Eggen, a Hop Jack’s manager
and son of the company founder.
“We sell burgers and fries
and ice cold beer and icy
drinks, but we call our-
selves a development
company,” Eggen
told the Keizer
City Council Feb.
20. Eggen was in
town to talk about
the restaurant as
the council prepared
to recommend approval of a
li-
quor license to the Oregon Liquor Con-
trol Commission.
Eggen also offered details on the fi ve
fi ngers of Hop Jack’s “helping hand”
business practices.
For every drink and kids meal the
restaurant sells, 50 cents is donated to a
Good Neighbor Fund or a Kids Feed-
The U.S. Congress passed an act to “prohibit the importation
of slaves into any port or place within the jurisdiction of
the United States…from any foreign kingdom, place, or
country.” By the middle of the 18th century, slavery could be
found in all 13 colonies and was at the core of the Southern
colonies’ agricultural economy. By the time of the American
Revolution, the English importers alone had brought some
three million captive Africans to the Americas.

ing Kids program, respectively. The Good
Neighbor Program offers assistance to
employees and community members
who are struggling fi nancially. Eggen said
the fund amassed $80,000 last year that
helped individuals cover expenses rang-
ing from rent to funeral costs. The Kids
Feeding Kids program donates to local
charities and groups
providing meals
for students.
“I
always
tell custom-
ers that they
can come in
and have a beer
and they don’t have
to tell their spouse
or signifi cant other that
they were out drinking. They
can tell them they were donating to
charity,” Eggen said.
The restaurant also offers takeover
nights in partnership with groups looking
for a fundraising opportunity. For a three-
hour period, Hops Jack’s will donate 20
percent of its net sales to the cause.
Hops Jack’s also partners with Pepsi
and the makers of its Bloody Mary mix,
Demitri’s, to offer scholarships for em-
KT on vacation

amendment submitted by Gelser
has drawn stern rebuke from
some sectors. Amendment -2, if
approved for inclusion, would
lower the age of consent to 12.
Brendan Murphy, a deputy dis-
trict attorney for Marion Coun-
ty, wrote lowering of the age of
consent broadens potential harm
from a public safety perspective.
“We do know that evidence of
sexual activity such as promiscu-
ity or hyper sexualized behavior
in young children may be an in-
dicator of abuse. That is why (the
Oregon District Attorneys Asso-
ciation) is especially concerned
with the -2 amendments, expand-
ing a reasonable, narrow ‘clarifi ca-
tion’ to children who are 12 and
13 engaged in sexual intercourse,”
Murphy wrote.
Patty Terzian, executive direc-
tor of the Oregon Network of
Child Abuse Intervention Cen-
ters urged the committee to “slow
down” and take up the issue of
lowering the age of consent at a
later date.
“We respectfully recommend
not accepting that amendment at
this current time until the conse-
quences – intended or unintend-
ed – can be discussed more thor-
oughly by all those who have an
interest in our children and youth
being safe, healthy and successful,”
Terzian wrote.
Rep. Alissa Keny-Guyer, chair
of Liberty House’s Committee on
Human Services and Housing, of-
fered the most full-throated op-
position to the amendment.

ployees looking to advance within the
company or elsewhere in the restaurant
industry.
“A lot of people in our industry don’t
go to college, they come up through the
restaurants and we try to help them at-
tend college or culinary school. If an em-
ployee wants to be a server – and be a
great server – we can do that for them,
but we also want to help people grow if
they want to do that,” Eggen said.
The last “fi nger” on the helping hand
is volunteerism. Eggen said the business
encourages employees to go into schools
and read to students, participate in the
Relay for Life or simply walk dogs at the
Humane Society among other labors.
Washington-based Hop Jack’s was
founded in 2009 and has already expand-
ed to 17 locations. The Keizer location
will be its second in Oregon.
“As you grow, you can lose sight of
that community and we want to focus on
the communities that we are in,” Eggen
said.
Hop Jack’s hours are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to
midnight on Friday; 8 a.m. to midnight
on Saturday; and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on

guidelines expand reporting to
most sex-related issues. New
instances that would require
reporting include: a student
inquiring about birth control
options after admitting to sex
with a partner; reports of a
pregnancy; and a student con-
fi ding in a teacher after being
kicked out of his home for di-
vulging a sexually active, same-
sex relationship.
Mindy Merritt, president
of the Salem-Keizer Educa-
tion Association, wrote that the
change to SKSD policy pose
the potential of adding to the
problems associated with teen
sex.
“If students believe that
their doctors, counselors and
educators must report any in-
stance of sexual contact, the
likely outcome is a reduction
in safe places for students who
are most at risk and in need of
support,” Merritt wrote.

to withstand the powerful infl u-

to 12 lays an indescribably heavy
burden on the children of this
state to recognize situations of
unfair infl uence or manipulation,”
Keny-Guyer wrote.
Prior to the policy changes
in October 2017, Salem-Keizer
School District (SKSD) teachers
were required to report incidenc-
es of suspected neglect or any
type of abuse to the Department
of Human Services. The new
