Vern Casterline, Ray and Louise Boucher remembered
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
Vern Casterline wasn’t striv-
ing to become a centenarian,
but as he was about to pass the
100-year mile post, in 2017,
Keizertimes asked him what the
secret is to longevity.
“Pick good ancestors,” he
quipped.
Casterline, who passed Oct.
16, was one of three Keizer pi-
oneers to pass in the past two
weeks. Ray Boucher, who
founded Boucher Jewelers on
River Road North, passed
away Oct. 12. Louise Bouch-
er, Ray’s wife, passed away Oct.
21.
Keizertimes spoke to Ray
and Louise in 2013 as Boucher
Jewelers marked its 60th anni-
versary.
“At the time, nothing was
out here,” Ray said. “There
were just some orchards and
a service station on the cor-
ner. We had no inventory. I
did clock and watch repair. I
was doing it for what few cus-
tomers we had, plus for other
stores. That kept us going the

fi rst few years.”
Times were so tight, that
even paying for medicine for
their three sons, Ron, Jeff and
Steve, threatened to put the ki-
bosh on the jewelry business.
They tried many things to
keep the business afl oat, in-
cluding a free beef giveaway
that became a Keizer tradition
for a while. Louise was still
tickled that it took off.
“It was kind of corny at
fi rst,” she said.
Three years prior to the
Bouchers opening their jewel-
ry store, in 1950, Vern opened
Keizer’s fi rst doctor’s offi ce. He
borrowed heavily to purchase
the equipment he needed, but
the dearth of medical practi-
tioners in the area helped him
pay it all off within a year.
Casterline was on hand for
the birth of generations of
Keizer families and became the
fi rst team doctor for the Mc-
Nary High School Celtics.
“Dr. Casterline delivered
me as well as two of my chil-
dren. He was a kind man and
a wonderful doctor,” said Mary
Brenneman.
Both Vern and Ray were
founding members of the
Keizer Merchants Association
and active members of the
Rotary Club of Keizer. A space
were their work was felt for
another generation.
“Ray was so welcoming to
me at the Keizer Rotary in
1986 when I was an exchange
student,” said Cathy Walker
Kerr.
Casterline retired in 1986,

Reading over the Keizer
Police Department’s (KPD)
Domestic Violence Assess-
ment form is a quick, har-
rowing descent into the dark
side of humanity.
Any document that iden-
tifi es victims and suspects at
the outset makes its inten-
tions known quickly, but the
questions that follow only get
more troublesome. These are
just a few:
• Has the suspect ever
threatened you or used a
weapon against you?
• Has the suspect ever
choked, strangled or restrict-
ed your breathing?
• Has physical violence
increased in severity or fre-
quency?
• Does the suspect control
your daily activities?

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:
A Hidden Menace
• Has the suspect forced
you to have sex?
Whenever Keizer offi cers
run on a domestic violence
call, they attempt to have the
victim complete the form.
The more a victim answers
questions in the affi rmative,
the more concern grows.
The questions arose out of a
statewide Domestic Violence
Fatality Review Team that
regularly reviews domestic
violence incidents that end in
death. It might be a traumatic
form to read and complete,
but Lt. Andrew Copeland is
certain it’s saved lives.
“There’s been a couple
times that I was certain that
a particular guy is so power
and control hungry that is
soon as he loses it, he’s going
to kill the family,” Copeland
said.
The portion of the ques-
tionnaire that addresses per-
sonal safety has a grim name
