Chevrolet, Earnhardt recorded an average speed of 172.712
mph and took home a then-record more than $1 million in
prize money.

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.

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.”

are being discriminated
against in regard to zoning.
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.
