$25 billion on a border wall and would rather
spend that money on infrastructure like roads
and bridges.
“My pledge to all the Deamers is I'm staying
at this until we get justice for the Dreamers,”
Wyden said. “They’re an asset for us.”
A man from the carpenters union asked
Wyden about infrastructure.
“We can’t have big league quality of life with
little league infrastructure,” Wyden responded.
“I’m prepared to work with anybody that has a
good idea but the country deserves more than
Trump tolls,” referring to the President’s plan
to lift the federal ban on interstate tolling.
McNary senior Jonas Honeyman asked
Wyden which issues were not being discussed
enough.
His response was health care and in partic-
service that included removing
invasive species, weeds and trash
as well as spreading bark dust in
planted areas and near the boat
ramp. More than 400 hours of
service were given.
Lawyer, who was nominat-
ed as Volunteer of the Quarter
for the fi rst quarter of 2018 by
former city councilor Richard
Walsh, was tapped for his efforts
in numerous areas including:
The Big Toy, Claggett Creek
Watershed Council, the Keiz-
er Chamber of Commerce’s
Men of Action, and the Keizer
Parks Advisory Board where he
spearheaded the charge to im-
plement a service fee for parks.
“What Matt has done is a
tremendous job of bringing the
community together and fi xing
our parks,” said City Councilor
Marlene Parsons. “Not only did
that pass, he’s brought in mem-
bers of our community to ask,
‘What do you want?’ Matt’s a
say, ‘Yes’ guy all the time and
he has a supportive family that
makes it possible.”
ular Medicare, which in its current state will
“dominate the budget for years to come,” leav-
ing less money for education, job training and
parks.
“We are really in this together,” Wyden said.
A member from the community asked
Wyden to tell the crowd about the importance
of voting.
Wyden, who serves on the Select Commit-
tee of Intelligence, started by saying its “crystal
clear that Russians meddled in our 2016 elec-
tion and intend to do so again in 2018 and
2020.”
“I’m not going to let this be swept under the
rug,” he added. “It’s too important to Oregon.”
Wyden said he hoped by 2020 to take Or-
egon’s vote by mail system nationally.
He was impressed with the questions he re-
ceived from McNary students.
“I’m leaving McNary High School today
feeling really good about the future,” Wyden
said.
GYRO,

and they’ve really come out and
supported us,” said Kalugin.
“We were surprised from
the fi rst day,” added Hammad.
“We were worried, but we’ve
had fi ve-star reviews all over.”
When Keizertimes fi rst
stopped in to talk with the
owners on a Monday after-
noon, the restaurant was so
busy and packed that we post-
poned the talk for later in the
week. When we returned on
a brief respite three days later,
Hammad and Kalugin were
looking through a local home
guide for available properties in
Keizer.
“We like this community
and we’re going to try to buy a
house here,” Hammad said.
Kalugin had been pressur-
ing Hammad to look into ex-
pansion in the Salem area.
“I knew they didn’t have
much of anything here and I
told him we needed to expand
to the Salem area,” said Kalu-
gin.
It was Kamis’s desire for a
restaurant to call her own that
fi nally moved the needle. Ka-
mis championed a Keizer lo-
cale over Salem.
When Kamis was ready, the
transition began quickly.
Gyro Stop offers a lengthy
list of Mediterranean fare from
gyros to falafel and dinner
plates to mezza-style sampling
platters with tastes drawn from
the other sections of the menu.
“Our focus is healthy and

homemade. We make our
bread dough every day several
times a day,” Kalugin said.
Gyro meat, a combination
of lamb and beef, is cooked on
a vertical spinner that allows all
the fat to run out of it. Thick
cuts make for a hearty meal at
Gyro Stop.
The business is in the pro-
cess of applying for a license to
serve beer and wine and Kalu-
gin is hoping to bring in belly
dancers from time to time.
“It was a big hit on our
opening day and customers
have been asking when we’ll
have them back,” Kalugin said.
Gyro Stop is open Monday
through Friday 11 a.m. to 8
p.m.; Saturday noon to 8 p.m.;
and closed Sundays.
