Today in History
After eight years as president of the United States, Ronald
Reagan gives his farewell address to the American people.
In his speech, President Reagan spoke with particular
enthusiasm about the foreign policy achievements of his
administration. He declared that America “rediscovered”
its commitment to world freedom in the 1980s. The United
States was “respected again in the world and looked to for
leadership.”

Council welcomes new faces,
bids farewell to Ryan, Anderson
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
It was a festive atmosphere
at the Keizer City Council
meeting Monday, Jan. 7.
With dozens of supporters
in attendance, the council bid
farewell to Amy Ryan and
Bruce Anderson and swore
in the two newest councilors,
Dan Kohler and Elizabeth
Smith.
Mayor Cathy Clark and
Councilor Roland Herrera
also renewed their oaths
of offi ce after winning re-
election in November 2017.
Members of the McNary
High School orchestra played
the national anthem after
the Girl Scouts from troops
10137 and 10001 presented
the colors. The orchestra
members also played a piece
written by Kohler’s son,
Hyrum, as the departing
councilors stepped down
from the dais.
The major order of
business for the night was
assigning councilors as liaison
to various city and outside

MERCHANT: ‘There were
a lot of people worried’
(Continued from Pdge A1)
Jackson’s dependency on
alcohol was consuming him.
He spent New Year’s Eve
2010 in a hotel by himself,
a few miles away from his
actual home.
“I didn’t want to drink,
but wasn’t able to not drink,”
Jackson said.
By the end of the fi rst week
of 2011, he checked himself
in to Eugene’s Serenity Lane.
On his fi rst day in Eugene, a
guest speaker shared his story
and Jackson connected with
it on almost every level. He
left the bottle in the rearview
and set his sights on staying
busy. He found outlets in
the Keizer Chamber of
Commerce as well as Salem
Chamber of Commerce.
“It was service and it
was a way to keep moving,”
Jackson said. “People are
looking to get involved and
do things, we have to give
them an opportunity to.
It’s not about the business I
own, it’s about volunteering
and then you go to a store
a month later and you meet
someone who was working
alongside you and you have a
new relationship, and it keeps
going from there.”
The fi rst time he decided
to wrap gifts for the Keizer
Chamber’s annual Giving
Basket Program, he was the
only male on site. That’s
changed in the intervening
years, thanks mostly to social
media, but Jackson does his
part by showing up, the same
way he saw other adults do
when he was a kid.
In recent years, he’s
found himself among a new
generation of Keizer leaders—
including Bob Shackleford,
the current Keizer Chamber
president—who picked up
the volunteerism baton from
their parents). But, he also
thinks more can be done.
“The Keizer Network of
Women (KNOW) do a great
job of bringing young girls
into what they do, I want to
get the young boys involved
in doing the right thing,”
Jackson said.
For the Merchant of the
Year, that is the heart of what
integrity means: doing the
right things even when no
one is looking. Jackson also
walks the talk, he celebrated
his eighth year of sobriety on
Jan. 5.
One of his regular gigs is
speaking with others battling
alcoholism at Serenity Lane
and through visits to the
Oregon State Correctional
Institution.
Any
effort
that taps into the issues
surrounding alcoholism is
likely to fi nd an action-
minded supporter in Jackson.
“There were a lot of
people worried about me
and thought I was going to
die, but I want to be someone
with a legacy of hope. I know
where I was at during the
lowest point and I know
where I am now,” he said.
Audit Committee and the
Festival Advisory Board.
Councilor Kim Freeman,
who was absent for the
evening, was unanimously
elected council president
and was assigned to: the
Keizer Audit Committee, the
Personnel Policy Committee,
the
Keizer
Planning
Commission, and the West
Keizer
Neighborhood
Association.
Councilor
Marlene
Parsons will be liaison to the
Audit Committee, the Keizer
Little League Park Long
Range Planning Task Force,
the Stormwater Advisory
Committee and the Volunteer
Coordinating Committee.
Kohler was assigned to
the KLL Park Long Rand
Committee, the Stormwater
Advisory Committee and the
Keizer Traffi c Safety Bikeways
and Pedestrian Committee.
Herrera was tasked with
the Parks Advisory Board, the
Points of Interest Committee
and the Greater Gubser
Neighborhood Association.
Clark will serve as liaison
to the KLL Park Long
Range Committee and the
Personnel Committee.
All council members are
part of the Keizer Budget
Committee and the Long
Range Planning Task Force,
they will also serve on various
regional committees.
The only major change
in
regional
committee
assignments from previous
years is that the council will
begin sending representatives
to meetings of the Latino
Business Alliance. Because the
meetings are held at the same
time as the Marion County
Commissioners’
Breakfast
each month, councilors will
alternate attending meetings
for both groups.
