MAY 11, 2018, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A7 KLL, continued from Page A1 review and come up short on both occasions. When KLL requested the city council’s permission to increase fi eld fees by $10 across the board, the budget it submitted was mostly a collection of ex- penses with only one source of revenue listed. This week, KLL was request- ing the city council modify the contract it operates under to allow the organization to keep half concession revenue and all tournament income from non- youth users. The budget KLL presented this time also left city councilors wanting. “There’s a lot of different information here, but I would prefer to get a detailed profi t and loss statement like MYB,” said Councilor Bruce Ander- son of KLL new budget docu- ment. “This is a contract we have with them and I would like to have a better handle on things. There’s a lot of things moving around here that I’m still confused by.” A competing youth baseball organization, known as Mc- Nary Youth Baseball (formerly KYSA), has been more forth- coming. In the budget made avail- able to the council Monday, there was no accounting at all of the $12,000 KLL kept from the concession stand. “I don’t see concession costs, incoming revenue. I don’t know how many kids are play- ing. I look at this and it’s really hard to understand,” Councilor Amy Ryan said. “Supporting (the change you are asking for) is hard when we don’t have in- formation that should support you.” Holland attended the meet- ing and spoke as a representa- tive of the Keizer Little League Board, but rather than defend the decision allowing KLL to pocket the money, Holland spoke for more than fi ve min- utes about the improvements that have been made at the fi elds. When Ryan asked why no one read the contract, Holland responded, “We put all the ex- tra money (into improvements) because it’s what has to be done.” By the end of the evening, no solid answer regarding knowledge of the contract re- quirements was given, only that the specifi cs of the con- tract were brought to light in December 2017. Holland also sits on the Keizer Parks Advi- sory Board, which reviews the applicants for the Little League Park management contract and makes a recommendation for awarding it to the city council. The council voted unani- mously to have staff craft amended language to the con- tract allowing the managing group to keep half of conces- sion and all tournament rev- enue – and keep the process moving – but seemed to be leaning toward revising the terms. “Would it be alright with you if KLL can come back and show the equivalence of the $12,000 invested in the park?” Mayor Cathy Clark asked city councilors and representatives obmtuarmes Submmt an obmtuary through our websmte at kemzertmmes.com or send an emaml to: edmtor@kemzertmmes.com Mary Cheney Hancock Brett Hanson Dec. 5, 1939 – May 1, 2018 February 20, 1991 – Aprml 21, 2018 Brett Hanson (27) was a young man who was full of life. Born on February 20th, 1991 in Medford, OR to Kim and Jeff Hanson, Brett led a magical life full of love, Disney, painting, and science fi ction. In 2010, Brett gradu- ated from the Early College to High School program through Salem Keizer School District. With a future goal of more college courses, Brett wanted to eventually open his own gaming shop or, naturally, to work in the wonderful world of Disney. This of course was the perfect dream job for him, because if you knew his kind- ness and love of helping anyone who needed it, Disney was the place for him. Brett was said to never know a stranger; his gregarious personality is what made that possible. He was funny, loved animals (especial- ly his basset hound Joise), had a vivid imagination and could fi ll a room with his smile and laughter. In his free time, you’d fi nd him gaming or painting all sorts of things. Painting was a signifi cant part of his life. He could spend hours upon hours getting every detail exact on all sorts of fi gu- rines he col- lected or other B. Hanson models he put together. Though Brett is sitting amongst Bilbo & Thorin, Spock & Captain Pike, Lily & James, and his grandfather Roy Worthington, his memory will live on through his parents Kim and Jeff Hanson; his sister Jordyn Hanson, and numerous other family members and friends. A celebration of life will be held May 19, 2018, at 1 p.m. at Crosshill Christian, 2105 Keizer Road N.E. Mary Cheney Hancock was born in Portland, Oregon on December 5, 1939. She spent her childhood mov- ing around the state until her family settled in Albany, where Mary attended Albany High School. After graduat- ing she moved to Salem to work for the State of Oregon in the Revenue Department. Mary then went to work at SAIF where she worked for 38 years as a clerk before re- tiring at 53 years old. Mary served as a caregiver for the next 18 years, where she met Don. The two have been together for 25 years, marrying 10 years ago. When Mary wasn’t work- ing, she enjoyed traveling around her beloved Pacifi c Northwest, and volunteer- ing at Willamette Valley Hos- pice and St. Edward Catholic Church. Mary was a faithful member of St. Edward where she served as the Kitchen Co- ordinator. The nurturing and caring nature that she had lasted all through her life in Keizer. Serv- ing at the parish Mary also started a soup kitchen that served meals for 10 years, headed up the Sun- day nursery, M. Hancock and served as a Lector and Eucharistic Minister as well as helping out in many other ministries at St. Edward. She will be remembered as a kind and loving individual who spent most of her time caring for others. Mary is survived by her husband, Don; her brother Lee Cheney and his wife, Dawn. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Crown Memorial Center in Salem. A rosary will be said at 10 a.m. on May 15, 2018 at St. Edward Church followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:30 a.m. of MYB in attendance. Nods were the only re- sponse. As far as city staff ’s role in the process, City Manager Chris Eppley appeared to want to wash his hands of the whole thing. “Technically (KLL) broke the letter of the contract, and I would be concerned about that if the fi eld was not looking good. Each group wants to see what the other is doing so they can be held accountable and the city is put in the middle,” Eppley said. “We need to fi nd a scenario where there is a third party that operates and gener- ates income to cover the costs of the complex and the city supporting larger projects.” The matter is expected to return to the council during its fi rst meeting in June. APTS, continued from Page A1 which were established by Rev. Charles Taaffe in 1975. Taaffe established two homes in Sa- lem, St. Monica and St. Teresa, for unwed mothers. However, more than four decades of so- cial change had also changed needs for young, pregnant women. “Through the St. Monica Home we served about 15 women a year, but we realized that most of the young women we were working with had op- portunities to live with a rela- tive or make their way back to their families with a little work and counseling,” Seymour said. The St. Monica Home was shuttered and the funding di- rected to community health workers that assisted the young mothers in new ways. CCS went from serving 15 wom- en to 75 annually, 83 in 2017 alone. Through that work another need arose, there were pregnant women aging out of foster care accommodations – roughly between the ages of 19 and 22 – who needed a home of their own. CCS approached donors to the St. Monica program and MCCALL, continued from Page A1 McCall views on school security are shaped by his background. As a private secu- rity manager, he needed to be certifi ed as an unarmed guard, an armed guard, a trainer and manager. “I want to make sure that whoever is on campus with a gun has been trained to the highest standard,” McCall said. “Why would we, society, ask people to volunteer to do something that should be a paid, professional position?” For more information on McCall and his campaign, visit friendsofdavemccall.nation- builder.com. raised more than $1.2 million to invest in a new apartment complex on the Apple Blossom site. A grant from Federal Hous- ing and Urban Development and Home Investment Partner- ship Program assisted with the demolition of the aging apart- ments and CCS began con- struction on the new complex. In addition to a roof over their families’ heads, the tenants will also have access to an apart- ment manager who doubles as a mentor and life coach, a com- munity health worker who will coordinate healthcare, hous- ing and social services, and an on-site preschool supported by Community Action Agency’s Early Head Start services. The on-site school will be named after Jo Ann Leadingham. The total investment is about $2.2 million, Seymour said. St Edward Catholic Church is also helping furnish the apartments as part of a fund raiser benefi t this weekend. “There have been many people who have stepped up and the city of Keizer and Mayor Cathy Clark have really supported this project from the start. The city staff have been wonderful to work with,” Sey- mour said.
