Submitted by Matt Lawyer Keizer’s new police offi cers Jennifer Starns, Marcus Risteen, Chad Fahey, Jeremy Darst, Jared Van Cleave and Michael Kowash are introduced to the Keizer City Council at its meet- ing Tuesday, Sept. 4. New KPD offi cers take oath of duty The Keizer City Council’s Sept. 4 meeting was a landmark one for the Keizer Police Department. Six new offi cers were sworn in at once, likely the most at one time since the depart- ment became a division of city. Five of the new offi cers were hired as a result of a public safety fee enacted by the city council in 2017. The sixth was hired to replace an offi cer that retired in November 2017. Offi cers Michael Kowash, Jared Van Cleave, Jeremy Darst, Chad Fahey and Marcus Risteen were hired as a result of the fee. Jennifer Starns was hired to replace the retired offi cer. All fi ve men recently completed basic training at the Department of Safety Standards and Training and are accompanying current offi cers on patrol shifts. Starns began basic training this week. Chamber director featured speaker at conference Danielle Bethell, execu- tive director of the Keizer Chamber of Commerce, will be a featured speaker at the Amazing You Women’s Con- ference in Salem on Oct. 5.

MCFD adds career fi refi ghter to Clear Lake Station Marion County Fire Dis- trict #1 has increased the ser- vices to the Clear Lake area in Keizer by adding additional full-time career personnel for emergency responses. Medic 33 was established at Clear Lake Station 6 in 2011, bringing MCFD1’s fi rst 24/7 medic unit into the Clear Lake community, with a promise to continue to look for ways to provide improved services to the community. The district announced that it has added additional career personnel in place at Station 6 to staff Engine 725 in ad- dition to Medic 33. This cur- rent deployment model staffs both Medic 33 and Engine 725 with career personnel Monday through Friday. After hours and weekend responses will be staffed by what is called a Swing Company, meaning that during certain hours, and for certain calls, personnel will re- spond in whichever apparatus is best suited for the response. Board Chairman Mike Wel- ter is excited about the expan- sion of service. “We’ve really taken a data- driven approach to ensure that we are providing the most benefi cial service during our peak hours when they are most needed,” Welter said. Fire Chief Terry Riley add- ed, “Our volunteers have done an excellent job of staffi ng the engine from Station 6 when available, but just as everywhere else in the country, people are busier; lives are busier. Some- times there aren’t enough vol- unteers available at once for a fully-staffed engine. It was time to dedicate career personnel to the community so that we could get the apparatus out the door faster and fully staffed”. Volunteers at Station 6 will join the career staff for respons- es on Engine 725 when avail- able, adding additional man- power to calls for service. This expansion of service also allowed for internal pro- motions at the District. Three engineers were promoted to Captain and three Firefi ghters were promoted to Engineer. The District also hired one new Firefi ghter/Paramedic and one new Single Role Para- medic. Riley said that this deploy- ment model will continue to be fi ne-tuned in the coming months as data points are mon- itored for any needed adjust- ments. sudoku 5 YEARS AGO McNary alum makes Discovery Keizer native Martin Pepper, who just got his doctorate in Geosciences at the University of Arizona—thus becoming Dr. Pepper—is now the co-host of the Discover Science show “How The Earth Works,” where he travels all around the world. 10 YEARS AGO Vandals wreak havoc in Keizer Keizer Police are looking into nearly 60 vandalism incidents that took place.
