Today in History The presidents of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads meet in Promontory, Utah, and drive a ceremonial last spike into a rail line that connects their railroads. This made transcontinental railroad travel possible for the first time in U.S. history. — May 10, 1869 Food 4 Thought “Comfortable shoes and the freedom to leave are the two most important things in life.” — Shel Silverstein, author, Where the Sidewalk Ends. Died May 10, 1999 The Month Ahead bowls at Carlson are “glorifi ed ditches.” The proposed improvements would make it possible to move from bowl to bowl and then into the larger park without ever having to step of a skateboard, scooter or bike. “We will add new concrete over the bowls and steel coping. We want to make a perfect shell with more extensive grinding with some new ledges,” said Mark Scott. Styler said learning to ride in Carlson Skate Park, or even Salem’s, is unlike riding in parks designed by engineers with an understanding of how they are used. “When you learn to ride in Salem-Keizer and then go to another park somewhere else it’s like you have to relearn everything,” Styler said. “When you ride up a bowl or half pipe, it should feel natural to continue up into the air or up and over into the next space of the park. It doesn’t happen in this park because of the way it was built. You have to fi ght harder to go in the direction you want.” KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald Mark Scott, owner of Dreamland Skate Parks, discusses potential changes to the two bowls at Carlson Skate Park. Dreamland was the company that smoothed out some of the older surfaces and made the ride smoother and faster for users last summer. The improvements have rejuvenated interest in the park, but the bowls and halfpipe are the improvements riders want the most, Styler said. “The bowls are the worst aspect of the park and they are fi xing the worst things. These are the places that could make it feel like an actual skate park,” Styler said. Danyel Scott said she and Mark would be back in the Friday, May 10 It’s bloom season at Schreiner’s Iris Gardens, 3625 Quinaby Road NE.

Since the civic center opened, Rotary members have used a dedicated room inside the facility to host weekly meetings. Rotary donated $100,000 toward the initial investment in the community center, money that was used to purchase furnishings like tables and chairs. The letter states that the investment was never in- tended as rent, but “pledged and paid as an investment in … [a] center that was built FIRST (sic) for the benefi t of every non-profi t group in the city.” The Rotarians point out that the civic center now caters more to government agencies that reserve spac- es at a discount, many with only tangential connections to Keizer. Rotary has been allowed to use a conference room since the building opened without further payment to- ward rental.

The agreement would be good for fi ve years. Rotary’s counteroffer is a 10-year agreement to com- mit no less than $10,000 a year into Keizer communi- ty projects of its choosing as well as 700 “verifi able volun- teer hours” in the city. The letter claims represen- tatives from the city signaled that past Rotary projects fell into the category of “wants” more than “needs.” In the letter, Nash and Adams con- tend the same thing regard- ing a community center that serves purposes beyond of- fi ces for city employees and the police department. “We do not believe we are properly using the funds en- trusted to us by paying rent to the city for improvements … which now primarily benefi t other government agencies,” the letter states. The Keizer City Coun- cil acknowledged receiving of the letter at its meeting Monday, May 6, and it will discussion will return as an agenda item at its meeting on May 20. in competition mode,” Hurst said. Hall, Smith, Hurst and Mallery had been preparing for the competition since early January, coming in after school multiple days a week to hone their skills. But it wasn’t until about three weeks be- fore the competition where the crew began to form their menu. “We kind of went for an Asian-in- spired theme because it was some- thing we enjoyed to eat and we thought that we could ex- ecute it well,” Hall said. Hall was in charge of making the appetizer, which was an Or- egon inspired salad roll with pickled beets and poached shrimp. For the entree, Mallery cooked a sesame-crusted lo- cal steelhead with couscous and cilantro, while Smith pre- pared a vegetable stir fry with teriyaki orange sauce. “There were some chal- lenging parts, but it was also really fun to prepare,” Mallery said. maze 5 YEARS AGO 10 YEARS AGO Prayer breakfast under fi re: Group says city promotes Christianity with involvement in event.

It’s a big, beautiful park, it just doesn’t function, Danyel said. Hurst, on the other hand, made a coconut sticky rice dessert with fruit salad with a bisque sauce. By the time the cooking was done and everything was on the plate, the team still had 45 seconds to spare and had the chance to make their dishes look clean and profes- sional before putting them in front of the judges. “We still criticized our own plates, but we did feel good about how it turned out and that we got it done on time,” Hall said. H u r s t added: “I was proud and relieved that e ve r y t h i n g that I had been work- ing towards was success- ful.” Bennett took a lot of pride in her kids fi nishing so high, but she is even more proud of the life skills and teamwork that her students have developed over the last few months. “We eat everyday, but we aren’t doing things like ge- ometry every day, so it is fun to watch students attain those life skills and have confi dence in their abilities,” Bennett said. “No matter where you go in life, you’re going to have to work with or for other peo- ple, so being able to commu- nicate and problem solve and overcome differences is in- credibly important and these kids work together so well.” While learning how to cook and prepare food is a vi- tal life skill, it’s clear that some of the kids want to take their passion for food further. “This has helped me choose my career. I totally want to follow through with a career in the culinary fi eld,” Smith said.
