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 KEIZERTIMES/Eric A.

Councilor Laura Reid was assigned to the Buildable Lands and Housing Needs Advisory Committee, the Festival Advisory Board, the Stormwater Advisory Committee, the Personnel Policy Committee, and to the Southeast Keizer Neighborhood Association. Smith was assigned to the Keizer Public Arts Commission, the Keizer 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.
