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

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

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.

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,

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?”

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.
