Competitive swimming led her to competing in open- water swims in Oregon’s Hagg Lake and in the open ocean off the beaches of San Diego where she’s completed lengths of one mile. In 2015, Karlee’s pursuits led her to connect with a men- tor in fellow amputee-athlete Sarah Reinertsen and then one of Nike’s sports managers, Lori Roth. That led to another chal- lenge. “One of them dared me to run the Nike Women’s Half- Marathon. At fi rst, I kind of blew it off and then she came back and said I was locked in,” Karlee said. She began panicking as the date neared and the realization sunk in that it was 13.1 miles through one of the hilliest ur- ban terrains in the country. “The night before it was all deep breaths,” Karlee said. “When I fi nished, Lori was shocked. I ended up being the youngest female amputee to fi nish that race.” Karlee still wears the pendant she received for fi nishing the challenge on a regular basis. Not long after the half mara- thon, Karlee learned that Nike wanted to sponsor her. That news led her father, Steven, to put out a call on Facebook that a trainer was needed. Keizer’s Carlos Soto, owner of CS De- fi ning Fitness, was tagged by an- other former client in the post and he offered his services. “I reached out and I didn’t know she was an amputee. I didn’t know until we met and then it was, ‘Oh, whoa ... that’s cool.’” For the past year, the two have been training together and with Soto’s other clients in his River Road gym. But, it’s been a learning experience for Soto as well as Karlee. The fi rst time the pair got together, Steven accompanied them to McNary’s track so Soto could see her in action. “Her dad would shout out voice cues to get her to run with the proper form. There’s a way she’s supposed to run and he had to teach me what to tell her. That helped me, having dad here for a while, and telling me to not baby her,” Soto said. “I’ve been melting her face ever since.” Karlee said there is a mental hurdle to running that those with two legs would struggle to understand. “I will swing my leg out when I’m not paying attention. It should go up and under more like a traditional runner but, in my head, I’m always thinking obituaries Submit an obituary through our website at keizertimes.com or send an email to: editor@keizertimes.com Wednesday, July 4 Independence Day, most government offi ces closed.

Franken March 21, 1930 – June 11, 2018 Marian L. Franken passed away peacefully in her sleep at age 88 on June 11, 2018. Her family was at her side. Marian was born March 21, 1930 in rural Brown County, Nebraska.The Great Depression was just beginning. Her mother Edith died unexpectedly when Marian was just four. Marians father remarried two years later and she became one of six in a blended family, living in the Sandhills of Nebraska. After graduating high school in 1948 she got her teaching certifi cate and taught in a one room schoolhouse. Marian, ready for a change ,set out for Omaha. She lived at the YWCA and worked for Mutal of Omaha. Marian met Francis, the love of her life ,and they married June 11, 1955. The new couple moved to Bellevue where their three daughters were born. Marian was an excellent homemaker and cook. She sewed, painted, wallpapered, knit, and canned and cooked all the goods from the garden. In 1974 Frank retired and the family moved to Corvallis, Oregon. After the girls graduated and moved, the couple moved to West Salem.They were married for 38 years when Frank died Gloria Murphy Gloria Murphy passed away in Coats, North Carolina on June 19, 2018. She was 65. Arrangements are by Crea- mation Society of the Caroli- nas. in1993. Marian sold her house, moved to Keizer where she had her dream house built. She resided there for the next 30 years. Marian traveled to Italy, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, and Switzerland. Mar ian enjoyed her M. Franken friends her rose garden and her family and bridge. She moved to Portland the last few years to be close to her kids. Marian is survived by her sister Vernice of Iowa and daughters Barbara Moore of Bend Oregon, Julie Warren of Goldendale Washington and Leslie Maynard of Oregon City and grandsons Matthew and Jason of Tempe Arizona. She will be laid to rest at Willamette National Cemetary with Frank. A small service will be held at a later date. Enter digits from 1-9 into the blank spaces. Every row must contain one of each digit. So must every column, as must every 3x3 square. my toe will get stuck and I’ll trip and fall,” Karlee said. Karlee has some load lim- its as far as what she is able to bear, but Soto has been able to adapt most of his exercises for her needs. “She favors the amputation, but we are trying to get her hip fl exor straight and it has im- proved a lot in the past year,” Soto said. To assist in his ability to work with Karlee’s needs and desire to compete in the Paralympic Games, Soto has taken part in camps on the Nike campus tai- lored for amputees. “Working out with them and picking their brains was huge,” Soto said. “I was able to ask one of the other coaches when she got over the mental block of running right and she said that it will click one day. So we just keep working at it.” Along the way, Karlee rarely fails to impress. The fi rst time Soto brought out a jump rope, Karlee left him agape. He took out his phone and started fi lm- ing so others could see what she was capable of. He was also sur- prised to discover that her fa- vorite workout music was rock from the 1970s. Soto said he puts more thought into movement than many of his clients would guess, but working with Karlee has been a wholly new experience. “I try to go over it and think about the mechanics of a knee and the exercises she will be able to do, but there are still times when we need to modify something on the day we try it,” Soto said. For her part, kettle bell swings are the least favor- ite of the rigors Soto puts her through, but he rarely hears her complain about anything. “She’s an inspiration with the drive she has. Most of my clients know her because I invite her to different group trainings and they watch her and get more motivated,” Soto said. The immediate goal is the Paralympics, but she’s happy to have developed the relationship she has with Soto, especially since that other coach left such a welt on her pride. “Carlos doesn’t baby me. He knows how to switch things up when they need to be, but he doesn’t use my leg as an excuse for anything,” Karlee said. “It’s just something we have to work around and that’s huge. It’s the way I want everyone to feel about it. It doesn’t make am- putees weird, it’s just something we have to deal with.” maze looking back in the KT 5 YEARS AGO Teaching assistant convicted Jose Juan Moreno, a former teacher’s assistant at Whiteaker Middle School was convicted of four counts of sex abuse involving three minors. 10 YEARS AGO Maze by Jonathan Graf of Keizer Man cuffed for pot grow An apparent marijuana grow operation was found in the attic of a home on McLeod Lane.
