Students, seniors exchange Valentines Signature Healthcare at Home, Avamere Court at Keizer and The Arbor at Ava- mere Court decided to make a difference with the seniors in the Keizer community. Personnel at the three care facilities contacted Jeanne Williams, who is a fi fth grade teacher at Keizer Elementary, with an idea. They asked her if she would be interested in be- ing part of a Val-O-Gram ex- change between some of their students at Keizer Elementary and the residents of Avamere and Signatures home-bound and hospice patients. “I was immediately inter- ested” said Williams “What I thought would be a few class- rooms participating exchang- ing with approximately 50-100 residents bloomed into 400 students blessing 400 residents and patients.” This allowed the students of Keizer Elementary the op- portunity to give of themselves and hopefully gain insight into the lives of our valuable older generations who are full of love and share experiences from which we can all glean. This also gives our young generation an opportunity to demonstrate that same love and attention towards our often-overlooked senior community. DOMAIN, continued from Page A1 Submitted Keizer Elementary School students show off valentines they prepared for a project in conjunction with Signature Healthcare at Home, Avamere Court at Keizer and The Arbor at Avamere Court. “My hope is that this door is now open for Keizer Elemen- tary students to be a part of the Keizer senior community so that we can be a blessing to them and that in return, we can be blessed ourselves,” Williams WORKOUT: Two installs need to be done by July (Continued from Page A1) The terms of the parks matching grant will require all work to be completed by June 30. As a result, Davis has scaled back the initial roll- out. Instead of four parks, installations at Country Glen Park and Claggett Creek Park could be complete by this summer. Claggett Creek Park will receive a tamper-proof seven-station multigym, produced by Outdoor-Fit Exercise Systems. The single piece of equipment enables users to do regular or assisted chin-ups and dips, knee raises, back extensions, squats, push-ups and calf raises. Country Glen Park will be the recipient of a set-up of high and low chin up and push-up bars along with two box stations that could be used in a variety of ways. The total value of the projects is just north of $28,000. However, the Rotary backing all but assures Davis will be able to complete the intended four-park rollout in 2020. Meadows Park and Wallace House Park are next up on Davis’ plans. “If this goes well, and we learn along the way, we might be able do more next year,” Davis said. He is already eyeing the possibility of an additional grant from a community program Keizer belongs to called Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL). In discussions before approving the grant, Parks Board Member Matt Lawyer said, “Your attention to detail has been outstanding. The fact that you are bringing $28,000 to the parks system is outstanding. I think this is a multi-use opportunity for a lot of people.” said. Williams also has a special interest in fostering this amaz- ing project within the Keizer community — both her par- ents reside at Avamere. When visiting with them, she had several opportunities to sit with many of their res- idents and saw fi rst-hand how precious they are. Dawn Hull, one of the or- ganizers of this event, conclud- ed: “I believe our residents will experience so much joy when they receive these Valentine cards. We are hoping they will be reminded of happy tradi- tions from childhood. It’s all about enriching the lives of those we serve.” Exchange families needed World Heritage Internation- al Student Exchange Program (WH) is seeking representatives in the Salem and Keizer areas to work with volunteer host families and international ex- change students.

What the church is arguing here is that it also applies to eminent domain. A couple of courts have accepted it and some have a rejected it. I will be curious to see how that fares,” Diller said. While Judge David Leith rejected a request to dismiss the school district’s claim on grounds of RIULPA and procedural disputes, the issue could come back around if the church decides to appeal an eventual decision. The school district is seeking to take possession of six acres of land owned by the church to accommodate expansion at McNary High School. McNary is landlocked and cannot proceed with its plans unless it acquires the property. The district paid for two appraisals of the property and the church rejected a $1.75 million offer in December. According to the district, the church’s counteroffer was nearly twice that amount, but church offi cials would not confi rm it. Despite voters approving a bond to fund the expansion and other improvements throughout the district in 2018, Diller said courts are unlikely to see that as a mandate. “It may be as a rhetorical tool, but we’re talking about a school district bond passed by more than just the city of Keizer,” he said. As far as who holds the burden of proof in cases on eminent domain claims, Diller said the district will have a slight edge in that it intends to use the property for the public good. “The details vary by state in Oregon, there is a presumption in favor of the state’s necessity for the land,” he said. “The burden is on the condemnee to to show why the land is not needed for the public interest.” However, the fair market value the district has to pay will be decided by a jury on a more level playing fi eld. “Both parties are likely to turn to experts who do a market valuation. The [development] possibilities are highly relevant. If someone is willing to pay for future value, which they quite often are, then that’s something that could come into play,” Diller said.
